      Glamour old man and Torpedo

      This is a submarine movie starring Sean Connery in 1990 that "the older the more attractive, the more wrinkled the more handsome". The old handsome guy played the captain of the newest Soviet submarine "Red October". On a seemingly ordinary morning, he suddenly ordered a break into the US...

      Cang Cang survived hurriedly

      After reading so many good reviews, I feel that a little shortcoming is a heinous crime. In the end, using the perspective of a proletarian to narrate this movie, it is a story that tells the story of how traitors try to establish contact with their "comrades" and surrender our "comrades"...

      Looking at the story now, the yy component is very strong. Judging from the year at that time, the idea is very bold. For submarine movies, I still like real stories. Compared with the later Red Tide and K19, the special effects are really rudimentary, especially for anti-torpedo decoys. It and the Red Tide are almost a 2D and 3D feeling. [Music Comment] The Russian chorus music produced by BP fits the movie style very well. The Soviet March in Red Alert 3 has similarities

      Why did the Russian army speak Russian so well that it suddenly became all English? ? ?

    The Hunt for Red October quotes

    • Jack Ryan: I understand that message. It makes perfect sense. Look at the situation: Ramius intends to defect. The Russians know this, which is why they've been trying to sink him for the past two days, but they haven't been able to. So they're trying...

      Lieutenant Commander Thompson - USS Dallas: Captain, I've got a firing solution.

      Capt. Bart Mancuso: Very well.

      Jack Ryan: Captain, you have to listen to me. The Russians will stop at nothing to prevent Ramius from defecting. They are desperate. They've invented this story that he's crazy because they need our help to sink him before he can safely contact us.

    • Seaman Jones: Conn, sonar. Target's flooded his tubes.

      Capt. Bart Mancuso: Has he opened his outer doors?

      Seaman Jones: Negative, Captain. He's just sitting there. Hold on. Hull popping. Target's coming shallow.

      Jack Ryan: What's that mean?

      Capt. Bart Mancuso: That means he's a very cool customer, your Russian. He knows we're here and we're ready to shoot. He's not gonna provoke us. He's heading to periscope depth to see what's on the surface. What's his course now?

      Lieutenant Commander Thompson - USS Dallas: Course is 2-7-0, Captain, due west.

      Capt. Bart Mancuso: Bring us alongside him.
