The explosion scene in Independence Day pulls one of the most incredible bits in filmmaking history when it shows aliens blowing up the largest cities on earth, killing hundreds of millions, but the golden retriever makes it at the last second and you’re like “oh the dog’s safe, everything’s OK”
Vivica A Fox is earnestly shocked when the guy over the radio says to avoid the freeways.
wow thanks for that spoiler smh
Yeah but those people on top of the building who got roasted with their welcome to Earth signs, they were dumbasses and deserved it. 😏
“A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic.”
So many people call that scene stupid and like, yeah, but also, it's a movie about the indomitable human spirit overcoming massive odds, those moments of optimism make it work
indomitable dog spirit also
I vividly recall everyone in the theater clapping when the dog survived…..and that was the only time anyone clapped
We got applause when President Lonestar fired James Rebhorn.
Yes, the fire will certainly travel straight, and not curl around the door frame and in.
The whole theater clapped when that happened
My favorite detail is how the dog is just chilling there in the middle of all the abandoned cars with a fireball approaching until she calls his name
accurate dog behavior
golden retriever method actor, fully inhabiting the part
Dropping a nuke over Houston was a good one. Best case scenario, all you have to do is drop a nuke over every major city on the planet!
I love the snl skit of bill Pullman running for reelection and his opponent is like "half the world was blown up on his watch"
randomly watched this the other day. Forgot how absurd that scene is. Lol buddy is doing parkour on cars to escape the blast after essentially getting left behind by his owners. Not even 5 seconds before, they show the dog just chillin in the car while Vivica Fox runs for her life. 10/10 filmmaking.
Correct
