Just watched "Bringing out the Dead" with Nicolas cage

Great Christmas movie!!


Anyway, I thought it was pretty accurate(except for hollywood style chest compressions~akin to a deep tissue massage~ and electrodes sitting atop the hair on a mans chest)

Anyone seen it?

Are there any other cool ambulance movies out there?

Merry Christmas!!:birthday::birthday: to Jesus

It's a great movie, I haven't seen it in a few years might be time to dig it out again.

You might look up mother jugs and speed. Kind of a movie about the very early days of ambulance serviices.
 
I didn't like it.

Bringing out the dead? It was a little dark but I really like the Nicolas Cage character. I think that's pretty much the mental image I have of him when I hear the name now.

Mother jugs and speed I wasn't super crazy about but it had some pretty funny scenes. Plus it was wild to see doctor Huxstuble at 20 years old :)
 
I really like that movie. I think it's a quality movie, not a quality EMS movie.
 
I own it!
 
I really liked it. Not totally on. But still a good movie.

My other favorite EMS movie... Mother, Juggs, and Speed. Lol!
 
The book Bringing out the Dead from Joe Connolly is much better than the movie. Connolly was a NY paramedic for 10 years, and you’ll notice the book is a lot darker and covers a lot more of the story than the movie.

Read the book and you'll see why Frank (the Nick Cage character) is so tortured.
 
The movie wasn't bad, but I agree that the book was much better.

Mother, Jugs, & Speed I enjoy. You can't beat Raquel Welch :blush:

The most accurate documentary of EMS and ambulance service ever published.

It is just as true today.
 
I'm still waiting for the opportunity to pull that song and dance with the narcan ;) :lol:
 
Good movie! Good actors... ;) not necessarily accurate... but seeing as its one of few EMS movies out there I thought it was pretty good!
 
From the Netflix description...

"An ambulance driver on the verge of a nervous breakdown...."

:angry:

Boycott! BOYCOTT!!


:P

They actually don't have it - because they suck. That's why I use a proxy server and tap into the US Netflix. Subscription allows access to both and I can watch all the stuff the Canadian one doesn't have. (Plus none of the CBC programming - an added bonus!)
