Any one else watching it on AMC. Or am I the only  here tonight.

Not a favorite movie of mine either, just Hollywierd fantasy. It's alright for entertainment though. Demi Moore got into great shape to play the part, plus shaved her hair off. Whether you like her acting or not, that shows dedication IMO. This flick was better than watching most of the other trash that was on tonight, so I watched it. Only part of the movie that really sucked was when the Master Chief took out the Libyan border guard. I would have preferred to have O'Neil/Moore stick the sob with her knife. Don in Ohio |
I have the DVD and started to watch it once, but I couldn't get past the first day at training. I got confused. I assumed she was going to BUD/S but from the instructors speach, it didn't sound like that at all. And it started out with Hell Week? What school was she supposed to be in? |
Oh, I love cleavage, as you well know  , but I would rather see cleavage because the woman chooses to dress that way, not because she is being paid big bucks to put it out there. Same thing with tittie bars. If I am going to see a woman naked, I want it to be because she wants me to see her naked, not because she is being paid to do so. |
Then you would never see titties. |

This movie is stupid. I think I got mine from the $5 bin at K-Mart. I do like the part where it's pissing down rain, and she trudges up to the Quarterdeck to 'splain something. The door opens and the instructor is inside cleaning a Dragunov. She voices her opinion about something and he says, "If I want your opinion, I'll give it to you." and he kicks the door shut in her face.  FITTER |

Well, its kind of pointless to discuss, since this is a real Hollywood goatfuck, but if you listen....in reality, it isn't BUD/S, and it isn't SEAL training... Its something like CRT Team or some such nonsense...if you listen to the little speach in the beginning, the guy talks about them all being proven operators who have been through the toughest training....SEAL, DELTA, Marine Recon, etc.... They invented some sort of BS unit, since I am sure they couldn't invent the BS they did and call it SEAL training......or BUD/S. Actually IIRC, the Navy flat out refused to give them any support since their storyline was such BS, so they had to invent stuff from thin air.... |
Bald Demi Moore playing a woman Navy SEAL = pisses me off. I can't stand Demi Moore. She's definitely one of the Hollyweird crowd. GI Jane was a pretty well made movie, but the entire story of it just bugs the shit out of me. Definitely a product of the Clinton Era. |
I can see it now: A guy hooks up wit ha hot woman, and right at the moment of truth, as this guy gets ready to pile on he says, "wait a minute. Are these real? They look fake to me. Understand ma'am that I'm a man of substance, and I won't screw a woman containing man-made substance." |
A better choice would be Striptease... no wife beater.... just titties. Definitely should be watched "Mr. Skin" style... fast forward to the "good" parts. Muted sound is a nice option as well. |
|
as is the idea that a bunch of trainees would be tasked with a real world mission, but I did enjoy the training aspect of the movie. as was the notion in top gun when they had a crisis and they had no other fighter piolts in theatre overseas and had to deploy the top gun graduates quickly themselves. |
|
One thing... Is it or is it not Harry Humphries that makes a few cameo apperances in the movie? I could swear that's him, shook hands with him once at a SWAT competition and I know the guy has done a lot of technical advising type stuff for movies and TV shows(that old TV show Soldier of Fortune Inc was one of them). Watching GI Jane is good only if you watch it while absolutely bombed off your ass drunk as hell. Then you don't notice things like the crappy washed out lighting effects, stupid assed scope reticles that look like they belong on a startrek phaser, and an inate desire to start breakin shit due to some of the stupid crap in the movie. |
I did all of that sober, and decided to turn it off. |
| She's pretty. She looked better without the snap-ons, IMO. I don't think guys would beg off after getting a woman naked and finding frankentits, but most guys who care would notice before they got in a position to be rude about it. I'm not a big fan of big tits anyway (nothing against them, they just don't appeal to me anymore than small ones) and plastique seems to have a certain immobility that is often a giveaway. |
Yes, he was the Technical Advisor for the movie. He was also a member of SEAL Team Two under Dick Marcinko, and served two tours in Vietnam as a SEAL. He retired as a Petty Officer First Class (E-6). -Troy |
Then why not just watch her in the movie Striptease? What a body she had in that.  She also looked very hot in Disclosure. Michael Douglas would have to be gey to turn that bootie down. That's what made that movie unbeleivable for me. Harass me baby anytime! |
At least in Top Gun, the pilots in question were already in the fleet before going to FWS, so they could well have faced the same threat (er, let's not talk about the Mig-28/F-5 issue  ) before going to Top Gun anyway.The GI Jane people were trainees, who had not been awarded their Budweisers and had not been assigned to a SEAL Team. They would have been ignored in a real crisis situation, due to that status, and active-duty sailors/SEALs would have been sent. -Troy |
A friend of mine is in SEAL team 5. He told me that a lot of the movie was filmed right where SEALS train. Also the the shower/bathrooms used in the film are the real deal, he said that some of the newer SEALS would try to get to the the shower Demi used in the movie! |
They weren't in the fleet. They were celebrating after graduation when they were called in for a briefing on the crisis. Instead of returning to their original squadrons, they all went back to one squadron? Would a CAG really send a pilot that had been in as much trouble as Maverick to Top Gun to begin with? He may have been the best fighter pilot on the ship, but I bet there was a better officer available.
It wasn't BUD/S. Listen to the speach the instructor gives on their first day. It was some fictional school. Either way, they're just movies. |
Strange. SEALs go through BUD/S in Coronado, CA. The movie G.I. Jane was (mostly) filmed in Florida, as they were not given Navy cooperation. -Troy |
Yep he said it was in Coronado. Next time I talk to him I'll get all the details! That is the honest to God truth though and sounds funny but he said they fought over Demi's shower stahl! |
