In honor of the late great Paul Newman and the King of Cool Steve McQueen,
here is a modernized trailer for the 1974 film that brought both of them together.

I made this trailer back in May.

I acknowledge that I in no way shape or form own the rights to either
the footage shown or the music heard. This is just the grandaddy of disaster films!

  • Well done, good editing.

    Only problem is the credits. NO WAY either Paul Newman or Steve McQueen would give up first billing. You'd have to put them both up at the same time, THEN have a second billing for someone else (there are a lot).

  • That's how they were billed in the original trailer, on all the posters and the movie itself, Mcqueen and Newman's name both appear at the same time, Mcqueen's name is on top but Newman's is below it and more to the left. So, if you were reading top to bottom it would look like Mcqueen got first billing, but if you were reading left to right, it would look like Newman got first billing. They also have the same amount of dialog in the movie.

  • Just finished this film. It was GREAT.

  • This is the best disaster film of the mid-70's, :D

  • Awseome job! Only thing is I would have added the infamous line "It's a fire mister, and all fires are bad." somewhere in there.

  • Great job. I seen this movie as a kid in 74 and we were blown away by how spooky it was. Looking at a modernised trailer like this brings that same feeling back after all these years.

  • 1 person doesn't like heights or fire.

  • What music is this?

  • 63 people like tall buildings!

  • @Ianandsyd Yes, Sheila Matthews was Irwin Allen's wife. She also had a small role as the ship's nurse in "The Poseidon Adventure." (She had also appeared on an episode of Allen's "Lost in Space" TV series.)

  • @jzaidan007 But if you think about it, Paul had way more screen time than Steve as he's seen from beginning to end, but you don't see Steve until about an hour to half an hour in. Also, in the movie itself, they're names are always shown together with Paul's slightly above Steve's
