    This is the most classic movie about firefighters fighting against fire and corruption. The fire scene is still shocking 30 years later. However, I am more disgusted with the younger brother and his girlfriend in the film. The "romantic scene" on the top of the fire truck is completely superfluous; in addition, the face off of the elder brother and the big axe in the fire scene is too unprofessional. Three and a...

    Several characters are designed very well, and the relative rhythm is a little longer, which may be a problem of the era, not the film itself. I don't think the fire effect is worse than the domestically produced "Fire Fighting Heroes" a few years ago. It's really scary. After more than 20 years, the domestic technology has not been able to be internalized into film shooting, and it is still receiving technology...

    When I saw the news that the sequel was launched in 2019, I deliberately retrieved the 1991 version and revisited it. Sure enough, with a good rhythm, a good story, a good use of special effects, and a good soundtrack, a classic was produced. Almost 30 years later, the rhythm has become a little uncomfortable, but the soundtrack is brilliant, sensational in place, and the blessing of the big screen makes this old film still...

Backdraft quotes

  • Donald 'Shadow' Rimgale: In a word, Brian, what is this job all about?

    Firefighter Brian McCaffrey: Fire.

    Donald 'Shadow' Rimgale: It's a living thing, Brian. It breathes, it eats, and it hates. The only way to beat it is to think like it. To know that this flame will spread this way across the door and up across the ceiling, not because of the physics of flammable liquids, but because it wants to. Some guys on this job, the fire owns them, makes 'em fight it on it's level, but the only way to truly kill it is to love it a little. Just like Ronald.

  • Donald 'Shadow' Rimgale: So stop me if I got this wrong. Now the fire is almost out, you're upstairs on the unburned floor checking for heat, is that correct? And you've been told by your Battalion Chief, your Captain and by me not to do nothin', right? Not to do nothin' until ordered. That's correct, right?

    Candidate: Yes, sir.

    Donald 'Shadow' Rimgale: Ok. But now the itch starts. The 'Glory Boy' flash starts. 'Hey, I'm a hero. Heroes don't just stand around.' You can tell me, that's what it was, wasn't it?

    Candidate: Yes, sir.

    Donald 'Shadow' Rimgale: So you punched out a window for ventilation. Was that before or after you noticed you were standing in a lake of gasoline?

    [shouting]

    Donald 'Shadow' Rimgale: Was that BEFORE OR AFTER you noticed you were standing in a lake of GASOLINE, YOU IDIOT?

    Candidate: Before, sir.

    Donald 'Shadow' Rimgale: You could have burned or killed or crispened half that company! To say nothing of the fact that you wrecked the physical evidence that I use to prove that it's arson, and you know how goddamned hard it is to determine the cause of these fires! Now you go home and you think about that!
