Retired US military helicopter pilot Dakata Brodie rates nine search-and-rescue helicopter scenes in movies and television shows for realism.
He discusses the accuracy of air and sea rescue scenes in “The Guardian” (2006), with Kevin Costner and Ashton Kutcher; “San Andreas” (2015), starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson; and “Bad Boys II” (2003), featuring Will Smith. He also comments on Coast Guard tactics in “The Perfect Storm” (2000), “Baywatch” S4E21 (1994), and “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom” (2018). Brodie analyzes the realism of flying search and rescue helicopters in “The Rescue” (2020), “Deep Blue Sea” (1999), and “Poseidon” (2006).
Brodie flew for the US Coast Guard for 13 years as a search and rescue helicopter pilot and the US Army for eight years as a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter pilot.

How in the heck do you miss Hunt for Red October?!?
Boring
Coast guard?!? Where are his googles?
Love this guy and this subject
My guess would be the night vision goggles are up so the actors faces are easier to see.
Shear shear shear!
The Rescue is a great movie, but I am a bit surprised they settled for the opening scene instead of some of the actual rescue diving scenes.
feels like this interview is too much cut down … let him breathe for one millisecond
Guardian is partial based on real life story, so it's understandable that he likes that one the most
I like this guy.
I knew the first scene was bull when i saw the rock
What Is The Name For The Method Of Casting Agency That Involves Writing Two Riders One Above And One Below ?
I really like how critical, professional and cool this man is. Bring him back!
I cant believe Dakata didnt say, "cool down, spool down", during the review.
Very very nice and humble pilot 👏
I definitely would like to go on a Helo-flight with him 🙏
And we all learned something again 😉
The Guardian is one of my favorite movies, because it‘s in essence very „real“ and portrays the work of the Coast Guard very well.
Kind regards from Germany 🇩🇪, Philipp 👋
Fantastic Guest! Knowledgeable and eager to explain, charming and funny, fair scoring (not that scores matter). Hopefully you get another opportunity to bring him in.
Another great job. Excellent presentation.
military aircraft (specifically helicopters) electrician here. if your hit by a electrical strike, most situations (not all) if you are hit there is grounding system that is redundant used by all nations, civilian airframes, and free to read on how it works to help pass the electrical charge downward without damage/min damage. ive never been in a situation of a electrical strike but was taught and did repair these systems. my worst is going into the auto rotate witch should stabilize until you can regain control of the system and have backup analog systems to help you land or regain control as i have experience with from other malfunctions that grounded me a few times.
Now I know for a fact that the Coast Guard or any service doesn’t train their pilots to deal with a rescue while being chased by a Trex! When Dinosaurs are involved all bets are off! 😂
I met the man they modeled Kevin Costner's character on for the movie The Guardian. Nive fellow. Very dedicated. He was telling us stories of rescue operations during Katrina in New Orleans and choked up a few times. Very moving.
Making money is an action. Keeping money is a behavior, but "Growing money is wisdom"
Everything "the Rock" does is cheesy AF.
Huet or dunker training as he called it ,not a fun experience your basically blind upside down underwater trying to find a latch and being told not long before you'd be sinking incredibly quick 😂😅
