Ah, 'Hot Shots'. Not as funny as 'Airplane!' but it'll do at a pinch.

[–]zendick 93 points94 points ago*

fun fact, US military which normally honors such requests, refused to allow any US military equipment or personnel to help with the movie, which is why they use British (not french as I thought) equipment and planes.

Fixed name brand

[–]bigjo66 28 points29 points ago

Except the aircraft used in Hot Shots was the Folland Gnat, which is British.

[–]zendick 11 points12 points ago

whoops sorry I remembered it being french! In the end same result though french would have been funnier.

[–]jared030858 23 points24 points ago

Whoa whoa, so what this thread of comments is telling me....is a human cannot carry a 500lb bomb on their shoulder?

[–]Semper-Fib 86 points87 points ago

When I was serving in the Marine Core (SEALS division Alpha) deployed in the Persian Gulf we ran drills on the deck of the aircraft carrier, holding Patriot missiles on our shoulders, so one of those 500 pound bombs you see there would be no problem. Except maybe to a civilian like yourself.

[–]EquinsuOcha 64 points65 points ago

At first I was like, "core?" and then (Seals instead of Recon) and then (SEALS are in teams, and they're Navy), and then aircraft carriers (we're on LHA's and LPD's), and then Patriot missiles (which are anti-missile missiles and we use phalanx system instead), and then...

Then I read the user name and I realized that despite knowing all the accurate things about this story, I'm pretty stupid.

Well played sir. Well played.

The user name golden.

But jarheads on carriers aren't uncommon. Marine F-18 squadrons can be assigned to carrier air groups. I have a year of sea time on the Truman because of this.

And AIM-9X missiles can (with difficulty) be held over the shoulder by one person.

[–]Theothor 0 points1 point ago

I'm missing all the jokes here! What does his name mean? And what does your name mean?

[–]lfgbrd 4 points5 points ago

The Marine Corps' moto is Semper-Fi, but the guy's name is Semper-Fib, Fib being a lie.

Equinsu Ocha is a quote from Ace Ventura, I think.

    Its a simple matter of weight ratios.

    [–]Deutscher_Aggie 0 points1 point ago

    They also used the Vought A-7 Corsair II, which is what the aircraft in the background of this scene is.

    [–]bigjo66 0 points1 point ago

    True, and I think it was a mixture of T-38s and F-5s that were used as the Iraqi airforce?

    [–]Deutscher_Aggie 0 points1 point ago

    There was a Phantom II in there as well, yes.

    [–]eidetic 0 points1 point ago

    No, the aircraft in the background there is a Folland Gnat.

    [–]HandyCore 8 points9 points ago

    I seem to recall the movie Sgt. Bilko making very much a point before the credits the let the audience know that the army refused any help.

    [–]abeuscher 6 points7 points ago

    This is true for about half of all military movies. The military also refused to support GI Jane, Apocalypse Now, Platoon, and insisted that Kelly McGillis' character be changed from an officer to a civilian consultant in Top Gun before they were willing to pay for that homo-erotic awesome fest.

    [–]MerlinsBeard 8 points9 points ago

    Premise is correct, but some changes:

    Kelly McGillis' character was originally enlisted and not an officer. It was changed to avoid any scrupulous fraternization between enlisted/officer which is correct and in-line with DoD guidelines.

    The US Navy also didn't pay for Top Gun to be made. The USN appointed a former Top Gun Instructor to oversee it and eventually he relented from changing it to an excessively pedantic portrayal of US Naval Aviation to simply a movie that will sell. It's a Bruckheimer flick, that's to be expected.

    [–]abeuscher 0 points1 point ago

    Thanks for the corrections. I knew it was something like that, but I don't have 100% retention on my bathroom reading ;).

    [–]zendick 0 points1 point ago

    they asked the Air force too

    [–]shitterplug 2 points3 points ago

    I was referring to a few clips in the movie where planes and ships have 'The Navy' written on them, instead of just 'Navy'.

    [–]zendick 0 points1 point ago*

    oh lol, I would have written that as 'the' Navy

    [–]alle0441 1 point2 points ago

    You know, I recently had this exact thought in my head while watching Act of Valor. They use a lot of footage of what appears to be real military equipment in action. Did the US Air Force/Navy/Marines really spend all that time and money to help make a film? Were they compensated at all?

    [–]zendick 0 points1 point ago

    They consider it recruitment value, the studios do usually chip in for some costs.

    [–]zendick 17 points18 points ago

    at least it got a part deux

    [–]saxy_toss 2 points3 points ago

    Ok, wasn't sure if you literally meant a 'part deux' or just a sequel in general. =P

    [–]zendick 2 points3 points ago

    no I meant at least it got a part deux, not inferring that airplane didn't as I know it did. I mean I am grateful for the part deux lol, I was just busting your chops.

      Another one that I think a lot of people forget about is Top Secret! It's got a young Kilmer in it. Didn't know what to expect when watching it but was pleasantly surprised. Two other lesser known parody movies that were pretty decent that I think people didn't notice where this and this.

      [–]stopsucking 4 points5 points ago

      I consider Top Secret! to be the Platonic ideal of the ZAZ films, the peak of perfection in which everything came together perfectly. My favorite scene is a simple one, but never fails to make me laugh.

      [–]NottaGrammerNasi 0 points1 point ago

          As an Air Force weapons troop I can tell you nothing would happen. You can drop bombs from a plane unarmed and they won't explode.

          [–]this_sort_of_thing 29 points30 points ago

          I wonder how that works, how they can make a bomb go from dumb as a cat to kabawow

          [–]flotiste 14 points15 points ago

          There's a fuse that needs to be pushed back, which only happens at a certain velocity, and has to stay there for a certain length of time to engage. If this is not released, nothing happens.

          This has to do with the grade of explosives too - C4, for example, you can light on fire, drive a truck over, eat (though it's really not recommended), and it will not explode. It's highly stable, and won't go off unless you set the detonation.

          [–]cbass8282 26 points27 points ago

          It's how the weapon is armed and fused.

          [–]Today_is_Thursday 15 points16 points ago

              When they drop the bombs, the cats are ejected, which increases the intelligence of the weapon. This kills the cat.

              I'm assuming they are all high order explosives setting off low order ones and/or some sort of chemical/mechanical/electrical trigger. They would just disable the firing mechanism.

              [–]akuta 1 point2 points ago

              Even more simple. Most of them aren't enabled until they after they are mounted on the platform that will be doing the dropping. The very last thing that is done is the arming of the weapons.

              [–]riversofgore 0 points1 point ago

              Most bombs use little cables attached to the aircraft that arm the munitions when its released. The pilot can decide whether to drop it armed or not.

              [–]niczar 20 points21 points ago

              I've never been in the military but I can state with 99.99% confidence that no one could carry an actual bomb that size over their shoulder. They should weight at least 200 kg.

              [–][deleted] 30 points31 points ago

              Good thing Americans have no idea what a kilogram is. If we did, we might find that unfeasible.

                  Depends on the munitions. Bombs and missiles are generally safe. The procedures and policies regarding the handling of munitions are for safety.

                  [–]riversofgore 0 points1 point ago

                  The Air force uses a bomb lift truck to load bombs. It's like a fork lift. The Navy loads their munitions by hand. They work in 4 person teams. Poles are connected to the ends of the bomb to facilitate loading. I'd ask a Navy guy to elaborate any further.

                  Right. I'm no scientist, but I'm fairly certain the likelihood of concrete exploding is very slim.

                  [–]nitefang 0 points1 point ago

                  Well, I doubt those are concrete, that would be very heavy to pick up, those are movie props for the movie "Hotshots!", a spoof of Top Gun. Not sure if you have seen it or not but it is pretty good.

                  Oh, do they use concrete to train with then?

                  [–]riversofgore 0 points1 point ago

                  Yes. Training munitions are filled with concrete to simulate their actual weights. It's important for the pilots to be able to fly a jet during training with the weight of actual munitions. This affects the fuel consumption and handling characteristics. The training munitions are designed to be as close to the real thing as possible including related electronic components.

                  If they had been penises, it would have ended badly.

                  Everyone knows penises explode when they touch.

                  God I love this movie.

                  [–]jpiglet 7 points8 points ago

                  Please tell me you know this is from the movie Hot Shots! and not real.

                  [–]KillAllTheThings 1 point2 points ago

                  If your question is serious, the US never used that aircraft and there aren't very many guys who can hump a 500 lb/200 kg bomb over one shoulder.

                  I've found it best to never underestimate how stupid people can be.

                  [–]Deutscher_Aggie 0 points1 point ago

                  False - the aircraft in the background is a Vought A-7 Corsair II.

                  Yeah, but how about me? I've seen it so it's old for me!

                  As per reddiquette, you would just move on without complaining about reposts, and let the community decide what is worthy to be upvoted.

                  I guess I sound too serious on the internetz :(

                  Sorry, I guessed you were kidding, but I didn't want to sound like a douche op. I hope this slighty racist gif makes you feel better.

                  My dad threw the football that guy was trying to catch. No one else could throw a spiral that day so my dad volunteered, he was a grip for the movie.

                  [–]vonshavingcream 3 points4 points ago

                  Hot shots is probably my favorite Lloyd Bridges movie. He has some excellent dialog in that.

                  Also Ryan Stiles was famous for his role as Rabinowitz before he was even cast as him in part deux!

                  [–]SirDigbyChknCaesar 4 points5 points ago

                  Bridges is hilarious in Hot Shots. He's the best part of the movie.

                  Admiral Benson: I slipped on a crab. Who put that crab there?

                  Lt. Commander Block: I don't see any crab, sir.

                  Admiral Benson: Don't tell me. There were two crabs. They work in pairs. I went to Annapolis for chrissakes!

                  [–]Yserbius 3 points4 points ago

                  I like the funeral scene where the Admiral gave a long, heartfelt speech vowing revenge for all the deaths from The Godfather II.

                  [–]dejaflu 3 points4 points ago

                  I thought it was a gif and waited like an idiot for it to load. :(

                  [–]akiskyo 2 points3 points ago

                  sh*t, kids are so young they think hot shots is some weird video clip from the past!

                  [–]slabolis 1 point2 points ago

                  I tested this when I was in the army shooting artillery. The rounds are basically totally inert untill crossing a safety distance... Good thing too.

                  [–]ImACracka 1 point2 points ago

                  Is this from Hot Shots!?

                  [–]joshlefrench 1 point2 points ago

                  pretty obvious this came from a professional military documentary, as it is just one perfect shot ..

                  And that's how the U.S. lost the war.

                  False, those would weight too much to carry like that.

                  [–]mrlucas 0 points1 point ago

                  The only bad ending here is if you don't put hot shots into your queue of movies to watch again as soon as possible.

                  I feel like this adequately sums up the fears, and then ends with the actual reality of gay marriage.
