DmitriKozlowsky Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 The most retarded portrayal of Harriers in popular culture. Without a shred of doubt, that would Battlefield Earth (2000). Second. Downtown Miami sequence in True Lies (1994).

Nealius Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 So basically, the ONLY two portrayals of Harriers in pop culture?
Fri13 Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 What is wrong in that? It is a cool scene and idea! And comparing it to other popular culture movies, it is very very good! i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.
Harlikwin Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) You didn't like the documentary about how great heros saved the earth from the Psychlos? I mean, those harriers were workin great for sitting in storage for 1000 years :megalol: Also can I speak to you about thetan levels? :music_whistling: Edited April 3, 2019 by Harlikwin New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.

p1t1o Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 Pales into insignificance against the portrayal of the F35 in Die Hard 4
Harlikwin Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 Simple, stop watching hollyweird movies. Plenty of other good stuff out there.

I like the harriers in that movie. Quite nice. It does not look like a bad CGI.

SonofEil Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 Battlefield Earth is an abomination...and I'm kind of glad it exists as a warning against vanity/propaganda projects. Tbh though I don't even remember Harriers in the movie, or any jets at all for that matter. The True Lies Harrier scenes are iconic though! Everything in that movie is done with a wink and a nod, don't take it so seriously. And the effects still look better than a lot of the CGI shit that's released today!

DmitriKozlowsky Posted April 10, 2019 Author Posted April 10, 2019 Oh come. Live Free or Die Hard F-35B. The new and much improved F-35B. One with not one , but two internal cannons. Instead of single removable pod that looks disturbingly like penis sheath of a stallion. Not to mention a really good idea of gun arm safety override when in VSTOL hovering mode.
Windhawk Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 Funny enough.... the BEST hollywood harrier scene comes in True Lies too. The maverick strikes on the trucks are awesome!!!
Mars Exulte Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 that looks disturbingly like penis sheath of a stallion Well fine, you're just going to FORCE me to look it up now Де вороги, знайдуться козаки їх перемогти. 5800x3d * 3090 * 64gb * Reverb G2
Nealius Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 Funny enough.... the BEST hollywood harrier scene comes in True Lies too. The maverick strikes on the trucks are awesome!!! That's the scene where a guy in the truck shoots a Stinger at the Harrier.

The_Dan Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 Well fine, you're just going to FORCE me to look it up now The thing on the F-35 or the thing on the stallion?
Kang Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 But that "Ah-nold" was able to jump in it and fly?? ;):megalol: This, just like most of the early 'start-up procedure question' threads here always made me think of that Simpsons episode at the airshow. «The Harrier is so simple a child could fly it!» - «Could I fly it?» - «Of course not!» Later Sideshow Bob tries to steal it and the whole instrument panel is just two big buttons saying 'fly' and 'stop'... Battlefield Earth is an abomination...and I'm kind of glad it exists as a warning against vanity/propaganda projects. Tbh though I don't even remember Harriers in the movie, or any jets at all for that matter. Well, they happened fairly late in the 'movie'. Your brain might have shut down to prevent further damage long before that.

Fri13 Posted April 12, 2019 Posted April 12, 2019 But that "Ah-nold" was able to jump in it and fly?? ;):megalol: If you watch the movie, you would find a scene before He steps in, it is pointed out that He use to fly those in his past... i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.
Fri13 Posted April 12, 2019 Posted April 12, 2019 That's the scene where a guy in the truck shoots a Stinger at the Harrier. 1:50 where the Maverick strike happens. It is always so odd that in movies etc the targeting is made so simple and unrealistic, even for those who knows nothing about the targeting systems. Like in that scene both launch their two mavericks on the bridge perfectly. There is just always something that makes people notice that "You can't just aim and launch those things". Maybe because people have seen so many times the missiles targeting ideas, not the bombs release. So they expect to see something complex to happen to get the missiles targeted and locked on target and then launched. i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.
javelina1 Posted April 12, 2019 Posted April 12, 2019 If you watch the movie, you would find a scene before He steps in, it is pointed out that He use to fly those in his past... I figured it was the old Chuck Norris thingy for him... "I'm a bad @ss, step aside chump...." Now Chuck being able to fly it is one thing! ;):thumbup: MSI MAG Z790 Carbon, i9-13900k, NH-D15 cooler, 64 GB CL40 6000mhz RAM, MSI RTX4090, Yamaha 5.1 A/V Receiver, 4x 2TB Samsung 980 Pro NVMe, 1x 2TB Samsung 870 EVO SSD, Win 11 Pro, TM Warthog, Virpil WarBRD, MFG Crosswinds, 43" Samsung 4K TV, 21.5 Acer VT touchscreen, TrackIR, Varjo Aero, Wheel Stand Pro Super Warthog, Phanteks Enthoo Pro2 Full Tower Case, Seasonic GX-1200 ATX3 PSU, PointCTRL, Buttkicker 2, K-51 Helicopter Collective Control

We, the remaining 10%, will bitch about it at a beer, so its all good. Still, that part is my favorite, and at that time i watched the movie 3 times, just for that scene :smilewink:.
Dino Might Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 But that "Ah-nold" was able to jump in it and fly?? ;):megalol: In the movie, Tom Arnold's char alludes to Arnold's char having been a former Harrier pilot. Ah...sniped. oh well. Anyways, I have a good many trademark Tasker takeoffs under my belt at this point.
DBFlyguy Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 The Harrier scenes are literally some of the best parts of True Lies...which is an action movie classic! "Straighten up and fly right"
stuart666 Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 There was also the Pepsi advert where they offered a Harrier for large amount of pepsi points. Then when someone sued them to get his Harrier, they upped it to several millions more. :D
