Deep Impact (1998) - Meteor hits Earth Scene

- Funny enough, both Deep Impact and better known Armageddon (1998) came in the same Year, with basically the same plot. Coincidence? Hard to tell, but it was bloody obvious which one got bigger budget, stars and marketing.
Normally, I would assume that the creators of Deep Impact wanted to pull Asylum Production (movie buffs recognize) stunts where Z-list movie (almost no budget - your little Niece's pocket money CGI effects) tries to ride the wave of mega budget blockbuster by having nearly identical name and story-line (content) to make huge profit by basically scamming people.
Except, this movie has vastly different name to Armageddon that can't be confused, and the CGI's are decent if not quite on par with that of Armageddon.
Perhaps it was coincidence, or straight up competition of whom can do a better movie for the same script.
Granted, Armageddon for me wins almost in every aspect, but that being said, Deep Impact is worth watching and definitely not a scam! All considered, it is close call indeed - to the credit of the production team.
The finale where the Meteor (or the smaller part of course) finally hits the Earth is quite chilling, so I wanted to share it - You're welcome :D.
If you love "End of the World" type of movies where meteor is about to destroy Earth, 1998 was your lucky Year. You got two of the best one's to date, and some would argue, that this one was the better one indeed. If you have missed it, give it a go, you wont be disappointed.
PS.
I bet that no-one working on this movie would imagine that in mere three Years later, the Twin towers that withstood the mega-tsunami in the movie would be standing no more.
We miss you ever since. RIP to all innocent people lost that day. - Krátké a kreslené filmy

The Old Man at 01:46 reading his newspaper not giving a care about anything being launched into OBLIVION always stayed in my mind for some reason. Even after I long forgot about this movie that few seconds long scene of Him NOT GIVING a SHIT as he ROCKETED OFF just makes me SMILE!
Which means the entire thing has to be fake. Nobody, no matter how senile or retarded will respond like that
I also just noticed at 2:16 there's an old woman who heads back into a car while everyone else is trying to run!
It’s funny cause you know every article in that paper was about the meteor and how it was going to obliterate people
the old man with a newspaper is a little joke, because there is a statue formed like that in New York.
I still find this moment hilarious because the water's coming from the wrong direction. From downtown, it would've hit the fountain FIRST, and THEN the Washington Square Arch! 😂 Special Effects still kick ass, though!
The part with Tea Leoni and her father always gets me. That's gotta be something to hold your daughter in your arms as she clings to you for comfort, knowing you're both about be obliterated by a gigantic tsunami. Very heartbreaking, especially since they just had a cathartic resolution to their relationship.
She is gorgeous and a great actress. Always had a crush on her since Bad Boys lol.
Why oh why do people go to the beach when they know a tsunami is about to happen?
Agreed
Her saying "daddy" just before the wave hits always breaks me
I can't believe this is a 1998 movie. The CGI effects looks convincing..
Certainly an amazing feat considering what budget they had to work with in comparison to their direct competition Armageddon (1998) and that the CGI was still in its crib at the time.
it is about the art style as well. how it should look how are the color and movement. the team has a very high skill in art and realism. not today LOL.
it doesnt really look that great tbh😊
@@themonodoesyoungerbrotherc7105 you only look at the water.
I used to watch the making of documentary. It was very interesting to see how they made the tsunami and the fact that they needed to make it appear at least realistic
0:22 a rock that size coming in as fast as 25,000-35,000 mph would be burning so bright that it would blind you permanently.
not to mention the shockwave of it passing that close would be sufficient to destroy anything and everything it hits
that had never occurred to me before, but I think you're right.
IMDb
And you wouldn't be able to hear it because it's going much faster than the speed of sound.
Beyond sonic boom 💥
Everyone standing "relatively" close would be pulverised "long" before the comet hit the surface. Notwithstanding the fact that it'd be moving in excess of 40.000 km/h (probably)
As a father, the one word “Daddy” broke me a bit.
Especially when she hugged her dad tighter 😭
.
Her father cared about her and so did her cared about her dad.
Scenes in this movie remind me just how powerless we really are.
In comparison to Nature's will, yes. We can only bend and adapt.
Trying to get my wife to let me go to the pub has the same effect on me 🤨
I like how the people in New York City are trying to outrun the wave as if they didn't have months of preparation to get out of the city and that goes for all those people trapped on the freeway. If you look closely, you see an elderly lady climbing into a cab as the wave hits Times Square.
What's even more weird is that a lot of these people seem to be doing their daily routines like they aren't carrying luggage or clothes for travel. I mean, they knew that the smaller meteor was going to hit so I would assume they'd at least want to escape the devastation of that one.
They know everything though 😂😂😂😂
I've seen this movie a hundred times, I never thought about that before!
They did not know exactly where the comet would hit until , I think, less than 12 hours? Been a while since I have seen this film so I am not sure of the timeline. Anyway, people did not know until almost the last minute who had to run and who was safe.
@@stevenmanchester2104 the President addressed the nation and said it would hit somewhere along the eastern seaboard. He even mentioned the speed and height of the wave so I think anyone could assume that the cities along the coast would be wiped out.
its called flight when i survival mode.. it doesnt matter that its pointless to run, people will still do it out of instinct to flee danger no matter how pointless it is. and people may have had warning to flee well before hand but just look at all the people that ignore evacuation orders when a hurricane is coming. people are dumb. just that simple.
I got to watch this movie in my 9th grade Earth Science class (roughly 12 years ago), and this scene left me mindblown! I also had no idea that the movie had been made in ‘98, and holy CRAP, that CGI still works really well!

2:24 - That water displacement is insanely terrifying
Indeed.
yep
but seeing the smaller wave imagine how big the 2nd is
The shockwave would probably kill you on the beach before the wave hit.
overview camera of miniatures and flooded the minitures.
1:41 These two really can't catch a break .
At least they're still standing during the tsunami, I think? XD
Nah fr
1:48 Until now I still can’t get over that old man just sitting there without knowing…. 😅
Or didnt care
I mean what's the point of running really? The water will still catch up to you and wash you away or drown you 🤔
Movie stuff 😂
@Idk what to name this account becuz in any Natural disaster running is a natural biological response
I noticed that immediately as well. He would have at least turned around to see what was happening.
2:24 That scene always remained with me; where people are on the roofs of skyscrapers, hoping it wont reach as high.
Perversely ironic that the only things left standing in the final shot are the two twin towers.
I know, pretty surprising
You know, watching this movie and realizing the only building that kept standing in Manhattan after the flooding was World Trade Center's Twin Towers, is ironic in some kind of a gruesome way.
People sometimes say that, in disasters like this one, people who don't attempt to run are dumb
But in reality, they are the smart ones. They know they can't escape this disaster. So rather than try to do so, they just accept that they are going to die and stand still waiting for it to come
Honestly, if I saw a giant mass of water speeding at my direction faster than I could ever run in my fucking life, staying still isn't my first action.
Wanna know what's even dumber? Attributing labels to the actions of people who are facing down a wall of ocean that reaches the clouds.....there is no right or wrong answer for their actions given the mind fucking circumstance they are in...
Survival instinct would be to run even if you knew you couldn’t survive.
@@jonbanks3143
True for most people. But some people would want to die on their own terms. We see several examples of this where people met their fate
with some form of acceptance such as sitting in the park reading a newspaper, standing on the beach with an estranged father,
or staring lovingly into the eyes of your spouse in the traffic jam while others tried to run.
The POTUS told everyone where the meteor was going to hit and when. I am very sure that every government worldwide told people in which direction to go for evacuation purposes. When the first meteor hit, there was the other one still on a collision course. Even without the knowledge that the astronauts were planning on sacrificing themselves for the greater good of the planet, it would have been better for everyone to at least die together with your loved ones than to die alone. I think that the people whom waited for the last minute to flee from the East Coast were hoping that the meteor would hit somewhere else in the world, and that they would have been fine to a point. The guys whom were seen carrying their surf boards, in my opinion, not to mention those on motorcycles had the right idea in mind.
The idea of an extinction event level asteroid hitting the planet is something that terrifies me to this day. I was obsessed with it as a child and even now I look up at the sky in fear some days.
I mean it's possible, but not likely (in our lifetime). That being said statistically speaking we are due another extinction event just around now plus/minus 10milion years. So who knows, maybe tomorrow, or at this rate we could be already colonizing stars when the next event happens, or be extinct due to own activity...
We do have the technology and protocols in place for such an event.
@@adamdavis9838and to cause one
The Bible said the world will be destroyed by fire, not water.
@@angelaread3715do you ever think of how the world might end
It’s actually a COMET if you actually watch the movie. A meteor is primarily made of rock, while a comet is made of primarily ice and gas. Also, if it were a meteor, it would technically be a meteorite anyway if it was inside our atmosphere.
Always loved this dramatic scene!
If you knew this was coming for as long as the characters in this movie there wouldn't be nearly as many people near the coasts- some but not that many
Spoilers............
There was originally one comet.A US/Russian space mission went out and tried to destroy the comet by planting nukes which ended up breaking
the comet into two pieces. The government only knew the final impact points for both comets only days before impact because they attempted
a last minute intercept with Russian and US ICBMs that failed.
Like those on the beaches of the boxing day 2004 Earthquake and the thousands in Japan that remained even though they where told to go to high ground.
People are not that good at making choices as one may think.
@@raystewart3648The Boxing Day tsunami had next to no warning because it was caused by an earthquake, not something much more easily predictable like a comet. The vast majority of the people on beaches on that day in real life would have known nothing until the waters pulled back.
@@rtozier2011 Ok. How about Japan? All where warned about a Tsunami on their phones, on TV and over loud speakers 25 to 35 minutes before it arrived, yet thousands ignored the warnings - why?
@@raystewart3648 some people just dont believe the government and science. People think the earth is flat and the moon and sun are artificial or photo shopped. to each their own tho...nature sorts out the fittest
This is why money spend on space is well worth it. Just last year for the first time we actually slightly moved a meteor in space.
In real life this would move so fast you would probably not even see it go by
i cried after seeing the dad and the daughter scene
Very touching indeed.
Happy belated 25th anniversary, Deep Impact!
25 years...
Amazing!
Yay! 25th Birthday!!!!
00:42 The CGI looks incredible here.
Only cameraman would be save😂
The waves and sound are SOOOO good 💀
1:41 This aged well
You can see in 2:37 that towers survived.
@@Extreme96PLYeah only it’s just the top, the rest was destroyed
@@QwertyCruz They wouldnt stand like this if bottom would be destroyed.
@@Extreme96PL They just fell over I guess. They are touching each other which they did not do in real life
@@QwertyCruz OmG this part 0:53 look like a tsunami
If this should ever happen am not going to run away. Rather I will just accept my fate, make peace with God, forgive all those who wronged me and drink my final shots of whiskey
I would personally try to survive (by going as high as possible), if for nothing else, then to see what true post-apocalyptic world would be like. quite fascinating to me.
@@pibmovieclips yeah, I never understood why that was not an option. Suicide, choosing on purpose, is a sin at that. A one way ticket to hell.
@@nicholasphelps3872 Surely, that can't be classified as suicide anyway. It's not like they have chosen to end their own life. Something else did it, and if it didn't seem possible to escape it. Staying calm and take their fate could be at worst considered to be wrong judgement. But not suicide.
@@pibmovieclips the decision is permanent. And though the chances of survival are unlikely, they are never zero. And even zero wouldn't be above a miracle by God anyway. It's not a decision I would ever take lightly. Especially considering that one could still be used for good in the world.
My view is the possibility that is could be counted as deliberate forfeiture of one's own life, is a reason good enough to keep fighting.
There are no mountains and fir trees like that within 1000 miles of Virginia Beach.
That’s because the actually place that this scene was shot was actually in central Virginia towards the Appalachian mountains
Fun fact: at 00:15 when what’s his face gets out of the car and says “Beeterman” with the sign that says, “Virginia Beaches 6 miles”, that scene was actually shot in Virginia but 5 hours away from VA Beach on the Fairfax county parkway where I remember sitting in traffic with my parents because of the filming at the time.
One of the most impressive disaster movies ever seen.
One of my favorite movies of the 90s!!
THe Twin Towers sort of still standing after the water recedes is deeply, deeply ironic.
Nothing would have survived tsunami of that size, but looked cool.
They waited for 2001
But not physically possible with a wave of that size!!!!
The Twin Towers before 9/11 were seen as super strong buildings that cannot collapse, they can also be seen standing but severely damaged in movies like Independence Day or AI Artificial Intelligence.
@@Extreme96PL They were super strong buildings that couldn't collapse, just saying.
But in a concept of this large tsunami, they would be torn off their base like a match.
This movie traumatized me. I still dream of impacts. Between this and Armageddon my lifelong love of space began.
this is a pretty iconic looking scene
Info: this is the first disaster movie directed by a woman mimi leder she was a writer and producer of emergency room series
This was the first vfx movie made by dreamworks company in 98.
Adoro q a cena não tem trilha sonora nenhuma, só o som da destruição 🤩
I think the water would be the least of our problems. The shockwave would destroy most before the water even had a chance to get there.
Every time I see movies like this I'm always say to myself why run you're gonna die anyways just embrace it.
I dont see any comments about the two parents staring at each other in their final moments. I love that part. Knowing their kid might make it. That would be me and my wife
better CGI than Flash
9/11 but with water
That Wave Wasn't F'n Around! Nice work to the CGI Department. 😎
These days their would be so many camera phones out with 'Just saw the comet lol'.
A few had video cameras to take video of the comet.
من يشاهد هذا بعد احداث ليبيا 🇱🇾 😢 ؟
Thats one hell of a wave pool
shout out to camera man for surviving this 🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
The twin towers were still there on the spot😢😢😢😢
I can't believe this is a 1998 movie. The CGI effects looks convincing.
I like the resigned look on some of their faces: "Oh shit...we're fucked!"
I saw this film in the theaters with my dad and family I must’ve been 9 or 10 but I had no idea what I was watching.
So, this is what happened in Sonic Adventure when Perfect Chaos destroy Station Square...
Exactly!
@@toryliss3925 Cool... I guess.
3 years before the actual tragedy 😢
ZI love this movie. I’ve watched it at least 10 times over the years.
Tsunami come to and everything broke
This movie is heartbreaking
Just place a door. It will make an air pocket
I keep seeing new bits of stuff I've never noticed in the video. There are only two legit realistic meteor impact scenes in media: This movie and the one(s) from The Expanse.
There's still no building in New York City that's taller than that wave
This is one of my favorite movies.
As 5-year-olds we see the bathroom:
The only problem I have with this scene is Leo riding the dirt bike from VA Beach to the Appalachian mountains.
Three a great bike on fuel.
R.I.P Statue Of Liberty we will always remember you
The CGI of this movie is amazing for 1998…
And the earth goes
*b o o m*
Everyone just screaming and running not giving up made me laughing on the ground so hard
Wow amazing👍😍🤩
Better CGI than the flash
European Cities that may be affected by such a how tsunami which covered the of New York. (Lisbon, Barcelona, Dublin, Gdansk, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Oslo, Kaliningrad, St. Petersburg, Riga, Tallinn, Helsinki, Amsterdam (Canals water will go out into the streets and flood the city completely)
Paris, London, Berlin, Hamburg, Rome, maybe others cyties . The rivers of these cities can overflow their banks and flood very much.
In 2046 Can We Stop The Asteroid Like Armageddon?
I forgot how slow they made the meteor. That thing would be in the atmosphere for like 2 seconds.
1:47 Hill Street Blues Belker reads the funnies!
Literally all running is going to do is save them a few extra seconds.
doomdays
What gets me? Is people just stand there and watch It? Come in and not run.. They wait until after it hits, then they run.. The minute I saw that thing coming into the atmosphere I would be running..
The coast would have been evacuated as soon as they realized it would be landing in the Atlantic.
It’s one of the better asteroid/comet impact movies, in which there is actually an impact and you don’t have to wait hours for that thing to strike and they can destroy it miraculously within the last minute 😂
I wanted for it to hit the Earth too :D
You only know this now because of the Russian asteroid impact, back then it was just guess work, like so many other movies.
Half the reason we watch disaster movies is to see just how badly they f up the world.
@@pibmovieclipsme to. Are there any other shows or movies 🎥 where it also hits?
Dont look up, but far more catastrophic.
So important to die stuck in traffic rather than at home. The government approves of this scene.
Nice video
Armageddon. Deep Impact. LOL! Both came out within a month of each other and both basically had a similar plot. What cracks me up is that both movies are way different from each other, to the point they are almost apples to oranges. Armageddon was more light hearted and a "mans" action movie. Deep Impact is a great movie to see if you are looking for something more sentimental. Both went for different audiences and, apparently, it worked. They both did a great job AND disaster fans got TWO movies that summer rather than just one.
Pretty much how i look at it. I wouldn't call it a different movies at all though. One has "happy end", one has not was about the only difference.
But you know what? I couldn't care less. Actually I'm glad we got the "bad" end version to Armageddon too.
I hate when movies overcome seem-ably "unsolvable/ stoppable" problem in a disaster movie.
I watch disaster movies to see the World BURN. XD
Mega Tsunami. I can’t imagine the bravery of the father (and his daughter), standing there on the beach watching that thing come in.
That has to be very scary if something like that happened again would be a catastrophic
The traffic jam scene is on Rt 234 (Prince William Pkwy)in Manassas Virginia, I drive it daily, They filmed this before the parkway opened.
딥임팩트는언제만들어진영화인가요?
I think the shock wave would have hit and killed them way before the wave arrived.
They say it's going to hit the ocean somewhere off the coast of Hatteras which is not incredibly far from VA Beach but without knowing the full distance from land that this will hit its perfectly conceivable that they'll initially survive.
Fear not death or the unknown. If this be our time let it guide us home.
I think I was in the movie
The Statue of Liberty
Right there at Virginia Beach!
What is in the magnet world?😂😂😂
Holy crap
Overdose of millennial nostalgia
The water is never clear during a tsunami.
THAT'S RIGHT FRODO, RIDE THAT BIKE MY BOY. UPHILL, UPHILL.
RIDE YOUR ASS OFF
I had a nightmare about a tsunami hitting my city and state but since it’s a nightmare instead of going to a high place my family went underground and why idk nightmares and dreams can be anything and not what it is supposed to be like from real life
Feels like I'm watching The day after Tomorrow, just more horifide 😱
01:46 now there's a guy who's committed to the local bugle.
It kinda irritated me when the chick had every chance to escape the damage but basically just volunteered to go commit suicide with her dad.. plus the wave wouldn't have been THAT huge. I seem to remember scientists saying at the time it would have only been 1/10th as high or something.
Bosses like: you still coming to work right...
It looks so real
Now THAT, is flushing the toilet. Bravo...
If only this was nonfiction.
Another good reason to live on the front range!😉
