Taking the old Movies with buildering scenes thread and updating it, how about YouTube videos of great (or not so great) Hollywood climbing moments?
Kicking things off with Star Trek 5:

It pains me to post this one, but the show must go on.
PS: My new most favorite phrase for 2009: "We've got amateurs at 12 o clock, check your safety!"

An obvious choice. Interesting note at 2:38: "Based on a premise by John Long". For those climber types out there, yes this is the same crazy-ass-Yosemite-climbing-legend John Long who now writes for Rock&Ice. If you come by a copy of Long on Adventure pick it up, you won't be disappointed.

For Your Eyes Only. That massive whipper is quite the stunt. God bless the pre-CG days where stunt men had to actually work for their pay.

Found this Re: Tom Cruise in MI2: http://www.ukclimbing.com/articles/page.php?id=18
Rather interesting.
"The climbing was choreographed by the film's stunt coordinator, Brian Smrz, who is arguably the best in the business. However, the choreography was inclusive of several elements that [film director] John Woo had felt were essential. The crucifix position is, I am told, in every John Woo film. I can't say if that is actually true but it was important to John. The leap sideways was also important."
I know for the crucifix thing that Tom is holding onto big ol' plastic climbing holds bolted to the face, which were later CG'd out. There was a pic of this in a climbing mag once, but I can't seem to find it on the 'nets.

Nice one. So the name of this movie is Adler? I can't find any info on it. The quality is too low to tell if they are really soloing that last part. I'm thinking they're tied in short? So many questions!
