Firefox Re-sound & edit. Part 2: Landing on ice

Thanks for all the comments.

Here's a new video, Firefox landing on ice and refueling. All of the original soundtrack is gone and it's been replaced with my own sound & music design. I hope you enjoy it.

My Dad and I went to see this when I was younger. Great memories and great movie! Love anything Clint is in.

Saw this flick on TV in the late 80s as a kid. To me, the Firefox was the most awesome, most intimidating fighting aircraft ever. The shots where it raises parallel curtains of water in its wake was the coolest thing ever.
The bird was very well designed, more than 40 years after the movie's release, it still looks as threatening as it did back then. 👍👏

One of the best movies with jets. I loved.

I really like the practical effects of this movie. The SXF were not great back then, but man, those models and props! Great work.

It's uncanny how the angular lines of the Firefox predicted what real stealth would look like. Even more when you consider the timeline. This came out in 1983, and the F-117 first flew in '83 but wasn't revealed to the public until '88. I wonder if the filmmakers tried to research stealth and found the original *Soviet* paper showing that angular facets reduce radar signature. I further wonder if there was any panic in the Pentagon about the film!

By far one of my favorite movies Clint is a legend

I'm glad the sub had the right connections to refuel a top secret jet from a foreign country.

Good memories of this typic Cold War period movies...this plane makes me remember the GI joe toy : black plane of Cobra : Raven from 1988, or 2008 rise of cobra model ( my favorite ) many thanks for ; )

I know that aircraft is fictional but it's one of the best designs I've ever seen.. It looks fantastic 😁

A Mig 25 may have been able to haul in the Firefox and shoot it down with a missle. Those Migs were old but superfast high altitude interceptors armed with very dangerous air to air missiles.

They were not fighter jets because they had terrible manoevrability but were developed by the Soviets specifically to intercept the SR 71 blackbird. They simply had no other role to play in the USSR's air force.

Years a head of its time this movie.Stealth, look and fire helmet, smart missile fire and forget. Thanks for sharing👍

Interesting that in 1982 the movie designers knew about "top secret" stealth techniques like putting the intakes on top of the wing where radar was unlikely to bounce off them.

[alexbrown]

It's about time they made a Firefox 2!

[Diwana]

Only Clint could act the Russian. The Enigma of Russia never fails to die out.

Captain: "Remember we're friendly. Wave, Stewart!"
Stewart: "'Wave?'"

[killingfields]

My all time favorite movie Jet Fighter of all

[BedsitBob]

How did they know the fuel connectors would fit together?

[ericsteel]

They should film the sequel “Firefox Down” with Scott Eastwood.

I saw this flick as a double feature with Rocky IIi with my father & grandpa back in the summer of 1982. Grandpa liked the Rocky movie. This one, not so much. I loved it. Dad loved Cold War movies.

One little detail about this plane that’s pretty cool is, there are no rivets in its metal work. Soviet planes of the time were (and still are afaik) build with standard rivet work joining the skin to the airframe. But Firefox’s skin is smooth and sleek, no rivets.
