Love it. Need to see if it's available anywhere.

Ron Howard took a lot of license, some of it I can understand. In real life, you can't see in a house fire, at all. Smoke obscures everything. But that wouldn't make for an exciting movie, so I get it.Potcake said:
Have a buddy who is retired FDNY Captain who says it isn't realistic.
In the movie or real life? I guess the answer to both is no. Some of the characters in the movie wear the proper backpack style air tank SCBAs, and a couple even put the face piece on correctly. But most of them don't wear them at all, which would never happen if you're going in a fire.jeffk said:
Is there another type of respirator or mask that they wear in fires?

both Ronald the Torcher and Hannibal the Cannibal will volunteer information only after their respective interrogators reveal their feelings about the most traumatic event of their lives. "It's one of those unfortunate coincidences," says Backdraft screenwriter Gregory Widen. "Backdraft had been in development since 1987. After we saw Silence of the Lambs we said, 'Oh, ****, we should take the scene out,' but we both came up with it independently, so we decided to leave it in."
Yeah, I was thinking it would be unlikely that the Donald Sutherland character was modeled after Hannibal since both movies came out a few months apart in '91.Apache said:Quote:

Been a while since I watched Backdraft so I looked this up.
Apparently it was coincidental.Quote:

The linked article claims Backdraft was in development in 1987. Perhaps some influence from the earlier Thomas Harris book (that became the '86 movie Manhunter, later remade as, I believe, Red Dragon)?aTmAg said:The book came out in 1988.Cinco Ranch Aggie said:Yeah, I was thinking it would be unlikely that the Donald Sutherland character was modeled after Hannibal since both movies came out a few months apart in '91.Apache said:Quote:
