Woohoo! yup, the special effects are pretty great, and if you go to Universal Studios Hollywood, DEFINETLY check out the Backdraft exibet to experience the effects first hand (that fire is real, my friends......) Anyway being the Ron Howard nut that i am (i don't think i've missed a single episode of Happy Days) you may not want to listen to a crazed rant. grin well i say Backdraft rules thumb laterz!

Hello,
I am a firefighter Love and Backdraft is my favorite movie. Whoever wrote the review for it obviously doesn't even know what a backdraft is. ShakeWhen oxygen is cut off froim a fire is secretes itself to where it is. If there is a sudden burst of oxygen that enters the fire then it creates a backdraft or a flash over. When the smoke comes out from under the door it means that the fire is trying to breathe and get ventilation. If you have any questions or comments please e-mail me and maybe I can help. By the way, I also don't particularlly like the ending of Backdraft because I like Bull and I also have gone through the unfortunate event of seeing a many firefighters from my department die in a fire. God Bless them.

Hi Rachel,
Thanks for the comments. I understood what a backdraft is. I'm not sure why you said I didn't. My comments were about the special effects and how amazing they made the fire work in the movie.

Anyhow... thanks for stopping by and good luck with the firefighting! smile

Backdraft

Wow... Backdraft was better than I thought it would be. It has action and mystery and great special effects. I didn't much like the end, but that's just me. Clint Howard was a forensic guy who was examining some of the burnt bodies. He was funny.

However they did the fire was brilliant. Sometimes there would be flames that would get sucked back into the walls. And when there was going to be a backdraft, some smoke would come out under the door and get sucked back in real quick. That was cool.

Bravo to Ron Howard for another great movie.

Yay! for Backdraft!
