• Cowboys from Hell IM-PRE-SSIO-NANT !On a les yeux écarquillés tout le long tant la réalisation est plus que maitrisée tout comme le casting qui est gigantesque.C'est plaisant de voir autant de légende réunie en un seul film . 4.5/5
• Marqué par la haine Depuis j’ai pu trouver les voix de la VF d’origine sur le Blu-ray,c’est clair que ça n’a rien à voir.
• THE PUNISHER Très bon film,un des meilleurs Films catastrophe du cinéma.
• Fury_Road Sorti en 1974, j'ai 33 ans et je l'ai vu pour la 1ère fois aujourd'hui. Autrement dit le film est sorti 10 ans avant ma naissance! Un casting de fou pour un classique du cinéma. Il a très mal vieilli et ça ressemble parfois a un grand film-sketch des Inconnus, mais rendons à César ce qui appartient à César. Ce film a marqué l'histoire du cinéma. Il faut le regarder en le remettant dans son contexte et par rapport à la qualité générale des films de l'époque, c'était tout simplement extraordinaire.Sans doute LE film qui a ouvert la voie. Celui qui a inspiré tout Hollywood et qui a permis de nous offrir tous les films d'actions auxquels on a droit aujourd'hui.Alors oui, certains dirons qu'en tant que jeune, je suis pas très qualifié pour parler des films de cette époque puisque je ne l'ai pas connue et que blablabla. Mais en fait en tant que cinéphile (et fan de Steve McQueen et Paul Newman entre autres), je m'intéresse beaucoup aux vieux films, les classiques, pionniers du cinéma. Et pour en avoir vu quelques-uns...je pense que je peux me permettre d'avoir un jugement pas trop faussé.
• philippe U. Ce n'ai pas la tour infernale tournée avant l'aventure du poseidon ?
• Bill Harford Un magnifique classic du cinéma avec des acteurs de légendes que son Newman, McQueen et Dunnaway on ne voient pas les 2h45 passé !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• TheMovies92 J'ai préféré l'Aventure du Poseidon mais ce film catastrophe est juste excellent ! CULTE !
• valentin_clv Ou alors tout simplement , profiter de ce film non pas en VF de 2000 où de 1974, mais tout simplement en VO ...
• Bub.... Allo, tante Alice ... Un très grand film catastrophe et des effets spéciaux classiques dantesques. Parfaitement documenté, ce film est appréciable non seulement pour le spectacle mais aussi pour le réalisme de l'incendie et des tracas qu'un tel laxisme dans la construction d'un building aussi gigantesque, poseraient aux pompiers. Les grandes stars de l'âge d'or d'Hollywood qui interprètent "La Tour Infernale" sont d'immenses pointures. Elles ajoutent leur talent aux intrigues imbriquées du scénario. Haletant et scotchant malgré ses décennies accumulées !
• dino Velvet. mieux vaut se contenter de la bonne vieille vhs avec les vraies voix francaises d'origine...pas celle refaites en 2000.....enorme film culte....le précurseur de ce genre (titanic, poseidon, tremblement de terre....)
• anne dulac pour ca faut acheter la vhs.....ce que j'ai fait....eh oui la version francaise de 1974 est beaucoup mieux...ce grand classique avec un casting en or meritait pas ce changement ridicule
• ronissart ils ont refait un doublage en français en 2000 et c'est une catastrophe ils ont détruit ce chef d’œuvre de 1975 avec sa version française de Marcel bozzuffi etc,comment ont il pu mutiler cette légende ,surtout regarder la version originale en français de 1975
• Toutou to you L'un des plus grands films catastrophes. John Guillermin, solide artisan d'Hollywood, et son casting 6 étoiles pour un classique. Le film vieillit bien. 4,5/5
• toupekin Ce film m'avait beaucoup marquée étant enfant. Je l'ai revu il y a quelques jours et il ne m'a pas déçue. Il date des années 70 et pourtant il n'a pas pris une ride! il est très réaliste, angoissant et on ne s'ennuie pas malgré quelques petites longueurs au début. De très grands acteurs sont présents et n'en font pas trop. Pour moi c'est LE film catastrophe de référence. A voir à et à revoir...cultissime!
• SuperCritiqueDu59 Très bon film
• Quiet_Ryan :sleep:
• vivien-benmouffek @steve warner : pour ma part je l'ai trouvé dans un coffret Steve McQueen assez récent et assez facile à trouver (pour le reste, enlève le disque, met-le dans ton lecteur, choisis la langue et appuie sur play (je sais mes conseils sont indispensables...))
• Steve Warner comment faire pour voir le film ????
• WernerOff Culte!!!
• RENGER * * * ~ L'un des plus impressionnant film catastrophe qu'est enfanté le cinéma Hollywoodien, juste après le succès rencontré par L' Aventure du Poséidon (1972), la Warner Bros et 20th Century Fox s'associèrent pour mettre en chantier La Tour infernale (1975), à savoir la libre adaptation des romans "The Tower" de Richard Martin et "The Glass Inferno" de Thomas N. Scortia & Frank M. Robinson. Un film catastrophe de très grande envergure, budgété à 14 millions de dollars, les producteurs n'ont lésiné devant rien, les décors sont impressionnants, les SFX dantesques avec des reconstitutions en maquettes, des effets pyrotechniques, sans oublier l'élément principal du film, sa distribution qui réunis les plus grands acteurs de son époque, à savoir Paul Newman & Steve McQueen dans les principaux rôles (celui d'un architecte et d'un pompier), accompagnés de seconds rôles tout aussi prestigieux (William Holden, Faye Dunaway, Fred Astaire, Richard Chamberlain, Robert Wagner & Robert Vaughn). Avec de tels arguments, comment ne pas succomber devant un pareil film ? Une oeuvre dantesque, tant au niveau logistique, que financier, du haut de ses 160 minutes (!), il est surprenant de constater qu'à l'heure d'aujourd'hui, malgré les nombreux films catastrophes Hollywoodiens sortis ses dernières années (où les SFX numériques en mettaient plein la vue), aucun ne soient arrivé à surpasser ou ne serait-ce qu'à égaler ce film, et ce plus de 35 ans après sa sortie.

Douglas « Doug » Roberts,  architecte , revient à  San Francisco  pour l'inauguration du plus grand  gratte-ciel  du monde (510  m ) qu'il a lui-même conçu. Un  court-circuit  se produit, résultant d'un échauffement de câbles électriques non isolés situés dans un local technique au  81 e  étage dont la cause est une installation électrique insuffisamment dimensionnée pour un tel bâtiment (économie d'argent sur la construction sans tenir compte des recommandations de l'architecte). Un  incendie  se déclare donc dans ce local technique au moment même où la cérémonie bat son plein au  135 e  étage de l'immeuble. Alors que le feu se propage, détruisant tout sur son passage, Michael O'Hallorhan, colonel des sapeurs pompiers, tente de sauver les trois cents invités qui se sont retrouvés piégés par les flammes.

Film / La Tour Montparnasse infernale

Edit locked.

Éric: Hasta la vista, bye bye!

La Tour Montparnasse infernale (sometimes translated as Don't Die Too Hard , literally The Infernal Montparnasse Tower ) is a 2001 French comedy film directed by Charles Nemes and starring Éric Judor, Ramzy Bedia and Marina Foïs.

Éric and Ramzy are window washers who work at the Tour Montparnasse in Paris . Eric is in love with Stéphanie, an executive who he has never talked to, but who he sees every day because she works in the skyscrapper. Shortly after the close of business, a group of gangsters enters the building and takes hostage several executives, including Stéphanie. Éric and Ramzy, who have stayed late in the skyscrapper, will try to free her.

A prequel , La Tour de contrôle infernale , was released in 2016 .

La Tour Montparnasse infernale (2001) provides examples of:

• Air-Vent Passageway : Éric and Ramzy use an air-vent passageway when they are chased by Ming.
• Are You Sure You Can Drive This Thing? : Éric and Ramzy try to fly a helicopter. It ends in a crash landing.
• Asshole Victim : The CEO is a horrible person (he slapped his niece in the face because he thought that the colour of the paper she used for a document was ugly; he does not care if his niece is shot down by gangsters...), so the audience does not care if he is taken hostage.
• Bad Boss : "Machin" abuses his minions: he hits one of them in the face with a gun because he shot in a window. He also shoots Chang down .
• Borrowed Biometric Bypass : A gangster cut the hand of the CEO's wife, because her hand is necessary to open the second door of the safe. Then the CEO is forced to look into a retinal scanner to open a third door.
• Brandishment Bluff : When Ming fights Ramzy, Éric shows up and pretends that he has a gun under his coat of mail. Obviously, it is just a Finger Gun .
• Bruce Lee Clone : Ming, a martial art fighter with a bowl-cut, a yellow jumpsuits and a nunchaku. (His fight scene with Ramzy is a parody of a scene from Game of Death .)
• Bullet Time : Parodied when Éric manage to dodge the bullets shot at him.
• The Cameo : The famous rapper JoeyStarr (of Suprême NTM fame) appears briefly as a policeman.
• Casting Gag : JoeyStarr playing the role of a policeman is quite funny given the fact that he has had many problems with the police (including being sentenced for insulting the police during his concerts).
• Closet Gay : At one point, when he thinks they're going to be blown up by a bomb, Ramzy admits to Éric that he's attracted to the (fictional) bodybuilder Peter MacCalloway . Éric spends the rest of the movie mocking him for this, while Ramzy tries in vain to downplay the statement.
• Coming in Hot : In the end, the helicopter has to crash land into the front of Montparnasse train station.
• Damsel in Distress : Stéphanie is taken hostage by a group of gangsters. Éric and Ramzy decide to help her. Subverted because she is actually the brains of the operation.
• Did Not Get the Girl : Éric does not get together with Stéphanie in the end.
• "Die Hard" on an X : A skyscrapper is taken over by gangsters and Éric and Ramzy accidentally use guerrilla tactics to stop them.
• Disney Death : Machin shoots Stéphanie at point-blank range. She collapses and there is a big bloodstain on her belly. It turns out that this scene was staged by Stéphanie herself.
• Disney Villain Death : Machin dies when he falls from the helicopter.
• The Ditz : Éric and Ramzy. Ramzy is slightly more clever than Eric, but he is still a complete doofus.
• Dressing as the Enemy : Éric and Ramzy wear the uniform of the helicopter pilots and their face-concealing helmets to pose as them.
• Elevator Failure : Chang is in the elevator. Suddenly it stops because a bomb explodes. Chang has to get out through the ceiling of the cabin.
• Equal-Opportunity Evil : The group of gangsters is lead by a white Frenchman (Michel Vignault or "Machin"). It includes, besides several white Frenchmen, two Asians (Ming and Chang), a German (Hans), and an African American (Chris).
• Extremely Short Timespan : The story takes place between the end of the afternoon and the next morning.
• The Fool : Éric and Ramzi are two stupid window washers. They do not understand what really happens. They do not realize that Stéphanie is the Big Bad . Highly-trained gangsters are after them to kill them, but they manage to survive and to ruin the gangsters' plan by sheer luck.
• Hellish Copter : The helicopter used by the gangsters to escape ends up in the front of Montparnasse train station.
• Hoist by His Own Petard : Chris, a gangster, is killed by a bullet that he shoots at Éric, because the bullet ricochets off Éric's armor.
• Hostage Situation : The gangsters take hostage the members of the board of a company, who are the CEO's sons. This is to force the CEO to disclose the code that opens the first door of the safe. This is also to prevent to police from storming the building.
• Love-Interest Traitor : It is revealed early that Stéphanie, Éric's love interest, is the mastermind of the taking of hostages, but the protagonists take a very long time to realize it.
• Malaproper : Éric and Ramzy get many words wrong. For example, Éric says "pour ta gouvernante" ("for your housekeeper") instead of "pour ta gouverne" ("for your information") and "Hasta la vista, bye bye" instead of "Hasta la vista, baby".
• Manchild : Éric and Ramzy act like young children. The police officer who intercepts their call on the radio comes to the conclusion that they are children playing with a radio.
• Mean Boss : The CEO slapped Stéphanie in the face because he thought that the colour of the paper she used for a document was ugly. He is also rude with the security guard at the entrance of the building.
• Mistaken for Badass : "Machin" thinks that Éric and Ramzy are "professionals", whereas they are just very lucky idiots.
• Muscle Angst : Ramzy's arms are skinny and everybody notices it. Yet, he follows a special programme of body-building and should become very muscular.
• No Name Given : Éric and Ramzy's characters are never named. When he talks to the police, Ramzy pretends that Éric is Michel, a philosopher. When Éric and Ramzy meet Stéphanie, Ramzy introduces himself as Peter Mac Calloway and Éric as François, then as Francis (Éric adds "Francis Huster", which is the name of a French actor). In both cases, it seems to be made up identities.
• The film as a whole (including the poster) is a parody of Die Hard .
• The bullet dodge scene is a parody of The Matrix .
• The fight between Ming and Ramzy is a parody of the fight between Billy Lo ( Bruce Lee ) and Hakim ( Kareem Abdul-Jabbar ) in Game of Death (the costumes, including the yellow tracksuit, are the same).
• In the end, Stéphanie tells Éric and Ramzy that she has booby-trapped their shoes. She pretends that their shoes will explode if they run slower than 30 km/h. This is a reference to Speed .
• Pinball Projectile : A bullet shot by a gangster, Chris, at Éric ricochets off Éric's armor and kills the gangster.
• Reading Lips : Éric thinks that he can read lips. Actually, he gets some words right, but he always misunderstands the full meaning of the sentence.
• The title is a reference to The Towering Inferno (in French La Tour infernale ).
• Éric tells Ramzy "Hasta la vista, bye bye", a malapropism for "Hasta la vista, baby", a catchphrase from Terminator 2: Judgment Day .
• Stéphanie ironically tells Machin that he is as perceptive as Shaggy from Scooby-Doo .
• Ramzy calls Ming "San Ku Kaï", which is the French title of Message from Space: Galactic Wars , a spin-off series of the Japanese film Message from Space .
• Spanner in the Works : Eric and Ramzy, two very stupid window washers, ruin the elaborate plan of Stéphanie to steal the money of her uncle.
• Unwanted Rescue : Éric and Ramzy want to free Stéphanie, whereas she does not need rescue, since she is the mastermind of the taking of hostages.
• Uptown Girl : Éric, a poor window washer, falls in love with Stéphanie, a rich executive.
• You Have Failed Me : "Machin" shoots Chang down when he finds him unconscious, because he has lost the hand of the CEO's wife.

La Tour de contrôle infernale (2016) provides examples of:

• Bad Boss : Janouniou shoots down his mooks on any pretext, for example because they correct his language mistakes.
• Banana Peel : Exaggerated . According to Éric and Ramzy, bananas caused a truck to crash.
• Bloody Hilarious : Bachir Bouzouk's very bloody wounds are played for laughs.
• Empty Quiver : The "Moustachious" steal communications satellites and a nuclear weapon from a plane. They plan to explode the nuclear device above Paris.
• Generation Xerox : Like their sons, Ernest Krakenkrick and Bachir Bouzouk are the Spanner in the Works in a "Die Hard" on an X scenario.
• High-Pressure Blood : Happens to Bachir Bouzouk when his hands and his feet are wounded. He loses liters of blood.
• Identical Grandson : Éric and Ramzy play the roles of the fathers of their characters in the first film. Marina Foïs plays the mother of Stéphanie, her character in the first film.
• Malevolent Masked Men : The "Moustachious" wear masks.
• Offscreen Moment of Awesome : During a job interview, Éric and Ramzy tell the climax of the story, which is not showed on screen: Zavier dropped his bananas; the truck drove on it and skidded. This prevented the explosion.
• Parody : The film as a whole is a parody of Die Hard 2 .
• Pocket Protector : Parodied . Krakenkrick, Bouzouk, Jean-Peter McCallaway , "Le Méchant", and Zavier are successively revealed to have survived a close-range shot, because they were protected by objects hidden under their clothes, like dog tags, a weight plate, and bananas.
• Prequel : The story is set in 1981, 20 years before the events of the first film.
