[nissansentraglx]

[harnpython]

[ismaelkhan]

@harnpython 1989

[flyboy685]

@Crackstomp real ROV's.

[Crackstomp]

@flyboy685 thank you very much!

[masonkim7]

Cameron is straight up nuts.

[gnovel570]

[ParTizan313]

[Zyklowa]

[guna941121]

9gag brought me here

[OrginalKork]

Is this Under Pressure: Making "The Abyss"?

[Bavoratu]

You know I really would have liked to hear Mary's side on what she was feeling at the time, from early filming to her meltdown on set.. she must have held a heavy grudge on Cameron since she wasn't even on this documentary.. I'm sure they asked her to be in it. :/

[EV1DEN5E]

gale's looking quite fuckable

[dalecampbl5]

michale biehn was teh super hero actor of the 80s

[KirKanos08]

The actors bitched constantly during Production. I'm shocked this movie was completed considering what I've heard Ed Harris say about Cameron

[jjobie]

@KirKanos08 What did he say about Cameron?

[TK42100]

Watching Al Giddings's interview makes me wish I had a USS Montana cap now. :p

[psadpoiafsdf]

@TK42100 is no USS Montana. I know it is from the movie and as a dedication to the movie it would be cool to have. Side note, the hull number on the sub in the movie is the US ballistic submarine USS Maine. This movie came out one year before the USS Maine construction began

[mrakhilhp]

this is not only a masterpiece from cameroon but tells the humans how to behave....humanity is gettin lost and this film can put a light into dat too...brotherhoodness stay among all...god bless

[Meteotrance]

fuck i have this on DVD and i want a real 2:33 16/9 master for see those underated masterpiece in the best way possible. the DVD suck and are not a THX quality for me, im pretty sure that the special edition on laserdisc version was better.

[SuperRichardNixon]

And I thought the Evil Dead, Blade Runner and Alien 3 were difficult shoots. 

[RyanWed18]

Michael bean awesome actor he was guiding the rock and aliens as well

[kantil17]

Is this on the Special Edition DVD?

[micosair]

@kantil17  Yes.

[HitmanOnDrugs]

@micosair Hello, I am interested by this video; I am french so unfortunately I don't understand a lot of what they say. So I have a small request for you...could you extract subtitles from that dvd and upload them somewhere, even if they are English subtitles, I can then translate the text to french...I have already searched on all subtitles websites with no luck. Please reply, thank you ;)

Im sure he left together in his backyard.

[Chronolyse]

The Abyss is an awesome experience. One of Cameron's best. This documentary really shows how much passion Cameron had for this project. It looks like everyone aged a decade after finishing it, though. Hellish production.

[villeppi]

The Abyss looks so much better than Avatar.

[Joaquin602001]

@villeppi - Just "looks" better than Avatar?

[mangoprojects]

Thanks for posting and sharing. Thank you.

[dachudsta]

Because i live in england i have never seen the scene where the rat is submerged in that florocarbon emulsion stuff....

[timewzrd3]

From the Director of Avatar

[mrpolaroid123]

possibly my favourite cameron film.....this film is art.....at its finest

[EmpireLS56KW]

I just received the ntsc theatrical edition laserdisc edition that I wanted to buy around mid 95/96 I have owned the PAL special edition laserdisc which I sold a short while after buying the region2DVD that I still have.

[ProgHead777]

"It was just hell. And that's how we STARTED.... and then it got worse."

lol

[featheredmusic]

Wow just actually trying to create this movie is an amazing achievement. applause for this crew and james

[roloug95]

jim cameron is a great director but fuck i hate his ego so so much

[teemuruskeepaa]

Omg It was a real industrial project

[Colt2571]

Gale Anne Hurd - MILF

[afroman255]

@Colt2571

LOLWUT?

[EmpireLS56KW]

@Colt2571 Kinky I agree Ann MILF Gale

[Hermy1138]

james cameron fucking crazy!!!! guess that's what makes him great

[jdlaw001]

Gale Anne Hurd - Cameron's 2nd wifey.

[IIPluto]

The underwarer scenes are so damn real and haunting. A masterpiece.

[bboymaggie]

@IIPluto hehe, the underwater scenes ARE real :)

[mellodge]

Plus 1 with waxer3929, it pisses me off also. The abyss is camerons finest work. criminally underrated.

[EmpireLS56KW]

Been watching the laserdisc today as it turned up today and now watching the acclaimed documentary “Under Pressure” on second DVDdisc. Its one of his masterful works still to this day, the original DOLBY STEREO mix sounds so choice over the Avatar which I lofted from the start of the waste of space bluray in dtsHDMA.

The Abyss I can re-watch and re-listen to many times over Avatar.

[Waxer3929]

I think it's funny and a little insulting that for the trailer for Avatar they said:

"James Cameron, director of Terminator, Terminator 2, Aliens, Titanic..."

But where's The Abyss? wtf?

Now, I can understand that today's standards the Abyss looks kind of tacky in the special effects department with the sea creatures, but that was probably because this move was made prior to Terminator 2.

I still love the movie though, they really need to give props where it's due, however...

[navylaks2]

I hope he rereleases this in 3D aswell so you you realy can feel that your under water.

[karmakaze87]

Mmmm, Michael Biehn is sooooo sexy.

[bobm174]

I love this documentary. I wish we could have a similarly styled documentary about the making of "Titanic"

[66richardson]

Jesus, Cameron looks EXACTLY THE SAME then as the does now!!!!

PS, can't wait for Avatar!!

[xxxIzekeIxxx]

thanks!!! = D

[xxxIzekeIxxx]

great videos, but i cant make a quick playlist bc you didnt include the part numbers in the titles : (

[shaida01]

I've been looking for ages for this. Thanks for putting it here.

[magicalangel0]

I've never seen this before. I'm not really a big fan of the movie, but the work is impressive here.
