Why on earth would anyone need a walkthrough ? Seriously ? It is Impossible to fail: even if you are so fucking retarded that you would keep clicking the wrong answers, it makes you keep clicking until you hit the right answer, in fact even if you sat jerking during the meteorite storm you still get to the sex with the gunner. Jeez.

eing that the crib is the center point of the nursery, parents must determine the best size crib for the room, or more importantly, how big a crib the room can accommodate. Always bear in mind that the bedroom is an expression of your child"s personality and interest. Cotton will be the most well-liked option, mainly simply because it is breathable and soft; but in the event you handle to seek out a materials that is a lot softer than cotton, then by all means, purchase it. Plus, cotton is a extremely durable and your little guy will not wear them out. Are you looking for a great selection of ...

if you cant figure out the engine part then u stupid as hell. and btw we need more of these kinds of m"n"fs YOU HEAR ME GAMES OF DESIRE!?!? MAKE MORE LIKE THESE NOT THOSE SHIT DEMOS!

i"m stuck on the navigator. i took off her top, rubbed each tit then both, then rubbed her clit outside the panties but nothing else moves up the meter. heeeeeeelp.

the game is fucking awsome like hell. o yeh shut the fuck up 14 an under ages shit u kids r fuking annoying no hot chick will fuk u kids . wtf u kids doing on 17 up adult site anyway horny gremlin fags

the game is fucking awsome like hell. o yeh shut the fuck up 14 an under ages shit u kids r fuking annoying no hot chick will fuk u kids . wtf u kids doing on 17 up adult site anyway horny gremlin fags

someone hit me up,this made me so damn horny. my hot pussy is dripping wet, I came so much. Mmm Id like to suck on some hard cock before getting pounced and pounded from every hole!

Making the plasma battery is easy: The Bunny eared thing goes on top, glass cylinder under it, small metal cylinder goes inside the glass cylinder and then the rod goes inside the metal cylinder. For the cook, you don"t actually get a blender, you use the vibrator. To get the alcohol for Kora, just fuck the cook.

This is such an awesome game. Love the Meet "N" Fuck games. Quick question though but does anyone recognize the song in the sex scenes? I know I know the song, but I just can"t think of it.

plasma pump: top make the two "supports" face up same with the glass cylinder, now make the metal cylinder have the hallow end face down, now make the end of the rod with the bulge face up and put it into the hallow end of the metal cylinder

But, still, it was pretty good. I didn"t like the audio, and some of the girls seemed to be staring off at the wall or something, but it was stiff one of the best.

If you honestly do let your underaged son (assuming he"s underaged as he seemingly needs your permission to play), then avatars featuring dicks and the likes are the least of your problems in more ways than one.

HEY!!! TO ALL MOTHERFUCKERS WHO KEEP POSTING THEIR PICTURES OF DICKS, PLEASE MOTHERFUCKING STOP!!! I LET MY SON PLAY MEET N FUCK SO MOTHERFUCKING SHIT, PLEASE STOP POSTING PICTURES OF DICKS AND GIRLS BOUNCING UP AND DOWN!!!

ONLY PERVERTED, PEDO, RAPIST "MEN" POST PICTURES OF DICKS. NO MATTER WHAT, IF YOU SEE A FREAKING PENIS, IT"S NO DIFFERENT FROM SPAM!!! GET THIS SHIT OFF THE WEBSITE BEFORE I FREAKING PUKE!!!!!!!!!!

Also, van. SUCK MY DICK. If you know how to do it, TELL ME! Prove just how easy it is; otherwise SHUT THE HELL UP DUMBASS -_-" If you can"t prove it"s easy, like you SAY it is, then KEEP YOUR DIRTY LITTLE HOLE SHUT--and NO I don"t mean your fucking vagina

Think of the plasma engine as the cylinder in a car. The mickey-mouse hat plugs in to the two holes at the top, the clear cylinder mounts to the two green mounting brackets. The purple cylinder goes inside the clear cylinder flat side up, and the notched end of the piston rod attaches to the base of the purple cylinder.

Any walkthroughs? I can"t seem to get anywhere no matter what I do. Can"t find the alcohol, so I can"t get with the nurse; Can"t use turret to get rid of asteroids to fuck the captain or assistant--or the navigator for that matter... All three of them are SMOKIN SEXEH

The trick to the plasma pump is to place the rod, forked side up, carefully at the base of the piston. You may have to try it several times to get it lined up just right. Now does anyone know where I can DOWNLOAD these games and have them on my hard drive? My ssytem is a bit slow and it takes a long time to upload them.

Seems like the better the game is the more FAGS are on here posting cock pics that probably arent even theirs. STOP posting pics of dicks ya stupid faggots! Do you really think that you are actually gonna hook up with a girl on here?? Get real!

the plasma pump was easy, it goes the helmet up top, long tube in gap, small in long and then the rod goes screw driver end up top in bottom of small cylinder.

put the metal cylinder in the empty clear cylinder about half way up, then put the rod with the tweezer shaped side up into the hole on the bottom of the metal cylinder

lol the puzzle was a BREEZE, any videogame kid can solve it without help ^^ the ONLY chalenge in this game is to get to the ending, past all those waiting gauges, without cuming ^^ (the turret girl was my fave, really worth the effort of beating the shoot-n-up game with a broken mouse) 10 / 10!

you guys stuck on the plasma pump roucd top part horn thingies up, glass thingy side pegs on top the thing with the hole in the middle of the tube open down the rod with the big part just in the tube thingy......bad explanation should be fine......easy btw

Quite funny but if I can give some advices to gameofdesire team : please, make the girls more aged, they always look as teenies in your game, no pubies, damned !

find the moaning was from a cheap porno movie. Try getting them from an HD porn site like ztod or something else. The audio was killing me. Also the moaning shouldn"t be too exaggerated and repetitive. But nice one guys. This is the best one. Nice animation, cool story, repeatable too. You one of my fav CG hentai galleries into a full game. Also try adding the squishy squish sounds but don"t make them loud and obnoxious like "Famous Toon Facials" crap. This is the best one from all the meet n fuck games. Seriously it is. Greatly improved animation and audio. Now just improve the audio a bit m...

Metal cylinder goes on the inside middle of glass cylinder,and metal rod goes on the inside of metal cylinder,tip only,resting on inside of metal cylinder.

yo for those with the plasma problems. the little round metal piece make sure the little dent is facin down and it goes in the glass in da middle then rod goes ito it ok?

some one make a walkthrough. i fucked the captin"s assistant but then i go to her again and the plasma engine is broken again and i have to get the sand wich and all that shit all over again. wtf. where do i go

where can i find a vibrator for the cook of this game? i"m also stuck with the pump puzzle in the engineer..i gave that girl in engine room & i was right in the pump puzzle...so can someone please tell me specifically simple and clear explanation of the pump puzzle. also where can i get all the items of this game? i"m lost in dis game.. can someone tell me where i could get all the items of dis game? oh & finally an actual game not like those demos stuff..

Great ending. And for those who need help. the round part goes inside the glass with the hole on the top. then the rod goes in the bottom with the head up

For plasma pump you put the pump piece with the hole pointing down then point the bigger end of the rod in that my favorite part thats problably pretty funny is the fact the cook will use a vibrator for a potato masher

it goes inside the glass holy shit thank you that is such astonishing advice. No shit it goes inside the glass cylinder, where, it doesn"t work regardless of angle

The only thing I dont like about the MNF games is that they assume that all women shave their pussy and like it in the ass. In real life women like that are few and far between.

love the game but he should stick to his story better i mean if they needed more kids then he could have made a "fuck anything that moves" kinda game and not like this when the dude mostly shotes anal or fascicle. but still great game ;)

>> [_] Anon 1566996 Problem with the new ones is they all follow the same formula: "Shallow and repetitive mini game or touching up scene followed buy two lackluster sex scenes (both vaginal)". The old ones (at least the later ones like Lavindor Kingdom, Secret Agent etc) were fairly non linear and had half decent sex scenes which actually mix it up a little. The last free one (lesbian ride) followed the new formula and used the new artwork so presumably was made by the same person as the commercial games. Whether or not hes the same as the old guy I don"t know.

>> [_] Anon 1566997 Just keep doing everyone"s errands. Then they fuck. Then for some reason, the plot wants you to release the men so they can fuck everything at the same time.

>> [_] Anon 1567000 I beat the entire game... I didn"t want to fuck anything. This game still has that shitty massage mode which is annoying as hell. Start at the food room, use the sandwich to feed the mech so you can do the puzzle, eventually, you get to shoot at asteroids, and then it gets easy. Go to the bottom, middle floor last. There are three people in the captain"s floor. That"s the only disorienting thing about the map.

>> [_] Anon 1567003 I found these problems, just from one sex scene with the Captain"s Assistant: - She"s masturbating in front of the guy and doesn"t like him touching her thigh? That doesn"t make sense. - "Right nipple good, left nipple bad" bull shit. - How about some choices? I don"t want to fuck her anus, or pull out to cum. You"d think, after so many games, they"d have improved, but it"s shittier than some of their earlier games!

>> [_] Anon 1567100 go dining room ask bitch make sandwich fuck mech after giving her a sandwich and doin the cock pump plasma shit talk to captain and assistant captain fuck assistant captain go to turret and shoot some meteor fuck the girl at there goes back to cockpit and fuck captain then fuck the navigator then fuck the chef then u can fuck the doc or choose the dumbbitch guard whom sell her body for a fucking crappy gameboy enter the cyctoshit something room you will get a monitor where everyone gets fuck the only girl i like is the doctor, the rest is bullshit the game system is bullshit too

>> [_] Anon 1562958 I found this one particularly funny since the entire plot is supposed to be freeing the male sex slaves but once freed all they seem to do is run around and fuck bitches anyways.

>> [_] Anon 1241955 This game"s plot is odd. You pretty much have all of the women eating out of the palm of your hand by the end. So you decide to give them all to other guys. That"s a great idea!

>> [_] Anon 1242170 >girl is completely naked and fapping in front of you >touch left arm >Stop it now! >touch right arm >Oooh, that feels good what the fuck man

Also, when that chick was riding him, and you could see his stupid grin, I just wanted to knock his teeth out for looking like an idiot.

>> [_] Mornington Crescent !/MWAdEdFcQ 1238397 Considering how much the guys in these things tend to cum, I"m surprised that there"s a population problem. Then again, considering how much the guys in this are all about the anal sex, I"m not surprised that there"s a population problem.

NASA shows this film during their management training program. New managers are given the task of trying to spot as many errors as possible. At least 168 have been found.

Regarding the film"s premise, Ben Affleck asked director Michael Bay, "Wouldn"t it be easier for NASA to train astronauts how to drill rather than training drillers to be astronauts?" Bay told Affleck to shut up. The reasoning behind sending drillers, rather than training astronauts, is explained in the movie.

Because of the patriotic nature of the script, and the success of using Top Gun (1986) starring Tom Cruise as recruitment material, the producers persuaded NASA to allow director Michael Bay and company to shoot in the normally restricted space agency. This included the neutral buoyancy lab, a 65 million-gallon, 40 foot-deep pool used to train astronauts for weightlessness, and the use of two $10 million space suits. The crew was also allowed to shoot in the historic launch pad that went out of service after the Apollo 1 disaster, and parts of the movie were filmed at Edwards Air Force Base in California.

Steve Buscemi claimed that the role of Rockhound was pitched to him as a heroic geologist, which he eagerly accepted, wanting a change from the lowlifes, as whom he had been typecast. He noted that after he had been cast in the role, Rockhound"s sleazy characteristics were written into the script.

Rockhound"s line about sitting on a million pounds of fuel in a rocket built by the lowest bidder is a variation of an actual radio transmission by Mercury astronaut Alan Shepard, just prior to lift-off.

The shuttle launches were filmed for real. Disney (Touchstone Pictures) was allowed to put cameras (about sixteen of them) all over the place. The camera on the launch pad was shaken so hard (25G) that all the screws fell out of the lens, and it had to be returned to Panavision in a box of pieces (which they put back together).

Billy Bob Thornton told Michael Bay that his backstory for Truman was that he was on track to join N.A.S.A. as an astronaut, but suffered crippling nerve damage as a young man, and was only able to serve as an administrator. Bay loved the idea, and had a scene written that refers to this by showing a metal brace on Truman"s leg.

Bruce Willis came to the film after he decided a comedy he was filming called "Broadway Brawler" could not be salvaged, and sought a way to exit the project. Disney"s then-head Joe Roth worked out a deal where Willis would star in Armageddon and two future films for the studio, and in exchange, Disney would absorb the failed project"s costs as an advance against his initial salary. The two films Willis later made under this deal were The Sixth Sense (1999) and Unbreakable (2000).

The film crew was also allowed to shoot sequences at the top of a real launch pad, with an actual space shuttle docked to it. The only condition was that they not step into the shuttle itself. Ben Affleck admitted to stepping inside the orbiter for a brief moment, before N.A.S.A. technicians ordered him out of the spacecraft.

The convenient existence of a fault plane passing right through the asteroid is not unrealistic. Several asteroids are now believed to be "contact binaries," each apparently consisting of two separate lumps of rock that are just sitting on each other.

Michael Bay thinks Armageddon is his worst film. "I will apologize for Armageddon, because we had to do the whole movie in sixteen weeks," he told The Miami Herald in 2013. "It was a massive undertaking. That was not fair to the movie. I would redo the entire third act if I could."

According to the Criterion Collection commentary, many of the errors found in the film were acknowledged by the director, and known even during filming and production and were left in deliberately (such as fire in space). Michael Bay said, "It"s a movie and not many people know about it," so they were kept in for entertainment value.

Critics jumped on the line from Truman where he told the President that the asteroid was "the size of Texas" and said it was ridiculous. However, those critics were embarrassed when fans of the film in the Washington, D.C. area pointed out that the National Air and Space Museum contained an exhibit about the history of asteroids which included a visual from one that hit the Earth millions of years ago, and was roughly the size of the modern state of Texas.

The original script did not include the romantic subplot between A.J. (Ben Affleck) and Grace (Liv Tyler), and instead had more emphasis on Truman. It was added after the success of Titanic (1997) with teenage girls. Most of the romantic scenes were written by Scott Rosenberg and were filmed late in production.

The dog in the opening was trained to specifically destroy Godzilla dolls. They shipped the dog onto the set at the price of $20,000 a day. They had to hold cardboard boxes up in front of the Godzilla dolls to keep the dog from destroying them until it was time. Michael Bay also notes that, as a rule, you "never kill a dog."

The "I love you" scene between Ben Affleck and Bruce Willis was initially going to be a much smaller moment between the two actors. Affleck notes the tough way to do it would have been to keep his cool and "keep a stiff upper lip," but he wanted there to be an extremely emotional scene in a big, Summer blockbuster such as Armageddon. "People always shy away from showing all that much emotion. They"re afraid that if you get really upset that somehow that means you"re not cool or you"re not sufficiently heroic, but I thought Bruce is the hero, really, so I could have the opportunity to do that, and I thought why not."

Ben Affleck"s teeth were replaced. Michael Bay noticed early in production that Affleck"s teeth seemed like baby teeth in the footage they had shot. He notes that Bruckheimer had previously replaced the teeth of a "very famous star in a plane movie." Affleck spent eight hours a day in a dentist"s chair for a week to get the teeth you see in the film now. These teeth also cost roughly $20,000.

Michael Clarke Duncan was almost replaced by a different actor after the first days of shooting. Duncan had been very happy when he was selected to play Bear after a successful audition, but soon started to feel insecure, and his performance was suffering as a result. In a final effort, Michael Bay and Bruce Willis took him aside, and told him that they really needed to see the vibrant and enthusiastic personality that he had displayed in his audition, otherwise they would have to look for a replacement. Duncan"s performance improved remarkably after that.

Liv Tyler shot this film concurrently with Plunkett & Macleane (1999) so would frequently fly from Los Angeles to her locations in the Czech Republic for stretches at a time.

This film and Deep Impact (1998) had an unfriendly back and forth, as both projects were green-lit, and filmed through 1997 and 1998. Michael Bay insulted Paramount"s project by comparing Téa Leoni"s star power to Bruce Willis"s, leading to Leoni saying that statement was "so Michael" and that it was not clear how firing guns would defeat an asteroid. When Deep Impact (1998) opened strongly at the box-office in May 1998, Paramount then pointed out all the problems that their rival film was having, leading to Willis accidentally revealing that this film was filming new scenes in Europe and Asia.

Steve Buscemi referred to the irony in Con-Air about, "A bunch of idiots singing a song made popular by a band that died in a plane crash." He was referring in that instance to Sweet Home Alabama, by Lynyrd Skynyrd. He is seen on Armageddon singing "Leaving on a Jet plane," sung by John Denver, who also died in a plane crash.

Unbeknownst to most Americans at the time, the U.S. Air Force did have a partnership with N.A.S.A. in the 1980s to produce and launch a special version of the Space Shuttle stack, similar to the "classified" experimental shuttles depicted in the film. The U.S. Air Force built a completely independent shuttle launch complex at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, intended for missions during which the shuttles would place military and intelligence agencies" spy satellites into polar orbits around Earth. The government also funded and developed special, lightweight "Filament-Wound" Solid Rocket Boosters for these proposed missions, being lighter in weight, thus more powerful than the standard shuttle stack"s SRBs, able to place heavier payloads into more distant orbits. The "military shuttle" program was cancelled soon after the Challenger disaster in 1986.

The scene at the crashed Independence was the first night of filming. Affleck, Stormare, and Michael Clarke Duncan, who are all in this scene, were essentially used as guinea pigs to test how the space suits looked and fit before Willis, who started late on the film and was very nervous about the suits, came to the set. According to Bay, nothing was working that night. At one point, while he was filming Affleck"s character from a distance, he kept seeing Affleck lean over as if he was looking for something. He finally yelled cut and asked Affleck what he was doing. He came to find out that the air supply to Affleck"s suit had completely shut off. Affleck was looking for any kind of rock to bust his helmet open.

Some of the space vehicles and props used in the movie are on public display at Disney Studios at Disneyland Paris, along with an Armageddon Special Effects Ride.

The scenes on the oil rig were shot on an actual oil rig off the coast of Galveston. Michael Bay mentions this is very rare to be able to shoot on a $400m oil rig. He notes that since Armageddon was about oil drillers saving the world, they convinced them to allow them to shoot there.

Michael Bay said in a magazine interview that the solution in the movie for dealing with the asteroid was very clever, but not realistic, but that one idea for countering the threat was in line with actual N.A.S.A. research (anti-gravity systems). He also said that a problem with a film like this, was that it would make Americans erroneously think that if a situation like the movie actually occurred, then there was anything that could be done about it.

Scott Rosenberg, Robert Towne, Paul Attanasio, and Ann Biderman all did uncredited work on the screenplay. J.J. Abrams"s original contribution was also going to be uncredited, but Michael Bay liked it so much, that Abrams was brought back for additional dialogue work, and ended up sharing a story credit with Shane Salerno.

In an interview with 60 Minutes (1968) to promote Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015), J.J. Abrams recalls that when working on this film, producer Jerry Bruckheimer encouraged him to not worry about scientific accuracy and just focus on telling an exciting story.

On the Criterion Collection DVD, then Disney Chairman Michael Eisner makes a surprise appearance on the space shuttle set to jokingly tell Bruce Willis that he has been fired and replaced with Kevin Costner.

Arnold Schwarzenegger was considered for the role of Harry S. Stamper. This was the second consecutive film directed by Michael Bay that Schwarzenegger turned down after The Rock (1996).

The scene between Affleck and Tyler as he is preparing to board the space shuttle was shot two different ways. The way that is used has him singing to her. The other just had him saying goodbye to her. Screenwriter Scott Rosenberg (not credited on the film) told Bay this was the pivotal scene that would either win or lose the audience completely. It was his idea to have Affleck sing to Tyler. Willis says he thinks the scene is cute, that it works, but on the day of filming he was sure it would be cut. "They were all singing in a different key," says Willis. "It took quite a bit of work to fix it."

According to Ben Affleck, the large warehouse-like building at NASA is the largest open air building in the world. It"s so big that they have to keep the air cold or clouds could form. The potential is there for it to rain inside this building. Michael Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer also explain the work and convincing it took to get NASA to allow them to use their real equipment and testing facilities for the film. The weightless simulation pool was the first "No" Bay got when attempting to shoot there. He and Bruckheimer note that getting the Air Force on board opened a lot of doors inside NASA. Affleck and Willis were the only actors allowed in the pool during the shoot, and they were each given only 20 minutes to film their scenes. The actors also mention how much fun it was playing with all of NASA"s toys.

The destruction of Shanghai was originally intended to be shot using miniatures. Michael Bay envisioned it told through the eyes of a father and son on a single boat. However, Stage 30 at Sony, the largest sound stage in Hollywood, was rented by the production. The sound stage includes an area for a large, indoor lake, which was filled for the scene, and a 90-foot pier and accompanying set were built. In famous Michael Bay fashion, the director decided the best way to handle the scene was just to blow it all up. That"s exactly what they did.

The gun William Fichtner"s character pulls out was not originally in the film. Michael Bay mentions they would not have gotten the Air Force"s approval if they knew someone playing an Air Force Colonel would recklessly brandish a weapon like that. The gun was added later during filming to give the scene more tension. Bay remembers being nervous as they showed the film to the Air Force, who could have had the entire scene cut out if they deemed it objectionable. Given the manner with which Fichtner pulls the gun and the overall situation, the Air Force ended up approving the scene after the fact.

The famous rock in the logo of Touchstone Pictures (one of the production companies) has the same shape as the asteroid that hits the Earth in the first scene, causing global destruction sixty-five million years ago.

"Now I know there"s no fire in space, but it is a movie, and most people don"t know that." As Affleck remembers, even with all the hi tech equipment on set, the "weightlessness" in most scenes was very low tech. Bay would fix the camera and have his actors "act" as if they were weightless. Affleck describes it as a kind of bouncing around, but he wasn"t particularly good at it. Bay couldn"t figure out why they hadn"t taught Affleck this skill in acting school.

The shot out from the Lincoln Memorial was achieved guerrilla film making style. Bay distracted the police while setting the crew up down near the reflecting pond, and he snuck inside the Memorial with a camera and a steadicam operator.

Ben Affleck was the only actor who actually drove one of the Armadillos. He notes it had a Chevy 357 engine but was dressed up to look much more impressive. The Armadillo was much wider than a car, and Affleck remembers continually scraping the wheels along the sides of the canyon.

It was Steve Buscemi"s idea to make his character, Rockhound, a genius who knew there was no way the mission would be a success. Buscemi played the part as a person who knew he was on a suicide mission, who knew the human race was about to become extinct, and who wasn"t going to "get his panties in a bunch" about it. Much of his dialogue, though, was deemed "too funny" and cut.

In real life, an asteroid the size of the one in the film would definitely not be cracked into millions of smaller pieces by several dozens of nuclear warheads as General Kimsey suggests before being shot down by Ronald Quincy due to size and hardened texture, however, the missiles could cause an explosion that would push the rock away from Earth and into a different direction.

This was the last feature film released on laserdisc home video for the Criterion Collection, which began producing laserdisc editions of films in 1984. The company then migrated over to producing DVD editions of their film library, making it Criterion Collection laserdisc number 384.

Deep Impact (1998) comes up early in the commentary. Michael Bay says he was invited to a screening of the film at Paramount and felt like everyone was watching him. After the screening he felt that Deep Impact was a much different movie than Armageddon and that Armageddon was a film that would resonate more with mass audiences. He does recognize that Deep Impact probably ate into Armageddon"s business but still feels they are much different movies. He does mention later, after the launch sequence, how much more realistic the Earth looks in Armageddon than it does in Deep Impact.

Jerry Bruckheimer remembers getting a call from Michael Bay during post-production one day. Bay explained to the producer that he had heard Godzilla (1998) was going to have a full soundtrack and didn"t know why Armageddon didn"t. There were only a few moments in their film that had actual songs included on the soundtrack, but one of these songs was an Aerosmith song, likely their cover of "Come Together" over the montage scene where NASA is picking up all the men. They had a song they wanted to use, "I Don"t Want to Miss a Thing" written by Diane Warren, and Bruckheimer and Bay decided they wanted Aerosmith to perform it. They invited the band to come to the editing room and watch clips from the film. Aerosmith was blown away and recorded the song three days later.

Footage from this film (namely the destruction of the Atlantis space shuttle) was utilized in a hoax which purportedly featured actual satellite photographs of the February 1, 2003 destruction of Space Shuttle Columbia.

As Michael Bay remembers, the Armadillo-jumping-across-a-canyon scene was a big debate he had with the studio. The scene was complicated and expensive, but Bay felt it would work great with the younger audience and was short and energetic enough to grab the attention of adult audience members, as well. Jerry Bruckheimer had faith in Bay"s ability to read his audience, and he supported the scene staying in. The producer doesn"t always understand where Bay is coming from with some of his movies or scenes, but he fully believes in Bay being able to win over a mass audience. That same scene incorporates several different film making techniques like models, green screen, and an actual stuntman hanging from underneath the Armadillo. Bay notes the miniature Armadillo cost roughly $150,000 and currently sits in his office. He also says not to tell Disney. They"ve probably heard by now, anyway.

The shuttle the actors are walking towards was an actual shuttle that was being prepped for launch within a few days. The crew was allowed only a few minutes to shoot on the gantry towards the shuttle. Bay notes they couldn"t use any lights while filming this nor could they bring any sound equipment. Willis joked on set that he was going to make a break to get inside. You can see Affleck begin to sit down and scoot himself inside the shuttle, but he was scolded by NASA for this. Bay also mentions how serious NASA is in regards to their launches. He says that if anyone on the production even dropped a pen off the gantry down to below the shuttle, the mission would have to be scrubbed.

The production on Armageddon shot over a million feet of Kodak film. As Bay notes, when you shoot over a million feet of Kodak film, the film company sends you a gift basket with six bottles of Korbel Champagne. He isn"t sure of the significance of six bottles.

The Gatling gun affixed to each Armadillo was an actual gun from World War II. A full-time police officer had to accompany and guard it wherever it went. It fires roughly 1000 rounds in 15 seconds.

"The old mission control is the most unsexy thing you"ve ever seen," says Michael Bay regarding his depiction of NASA. The small scene with Owen Wilson talking into the headset was filmed at the old mission control Bay is talking about. He wanted NASA to feel like a slick, cool company, a company that looked like it had the equipment that went along with the best and brightest minds in the aerospace industry. A lot of the sets and even the exterior of the building serving as NASA in the film look nothing like the real items. According to Bay the building used in exterior shots is a company that sells herbal products.

During the training of the mission team, an Aerosmith song ("Sweet Emotion") is playing in the background with vocals by Liv Tyler"s father, Steven Tyler, who also sings the theme song "I Don"t Want to Miss a Thing." The two Tylers appear in the Armageddon music video.

At one point during filming, Steve Buscemi mentioned to Michael Bay that he was going to get dental work done. Bay convinced him that he had a "million dollar smile" and that he shouldn"t change a thing.

The New York street scene took four days to shoot. According to Michael Bay, they designed a system of flipping cars so that they could flip them very close to the extras without actually hitting any of them.

According to Ben Affleck, Billy Bob Thornton once told him that the film was going to be mostly about he and Willis"s character, that Affleck was going to be an extra until Titanic (1997) came out. Thornton told him the love story was such a factor in that movie becoming a monster success that the people behind Armageddon felt there needed to be a strong love story there, too. Willis mentions he was told that he and Thornton couldn"t carry the film themselves, so the love story was added. Willis jokes that Bay continually reminded Affleck that his part could be cut completely out if they needed to do so.

Max (Ken Hudson Campbell) says to the doctor that is about to inject him with a needle. "I"ll stab you in the heart with it. Have you ever seen Pulp Fiction?" Bruce Willis and Steve Buscemi appeared in Pulp Fiction (1994). Bruce played Butch Coolidge, and Steve played a waiter.

Though some posters of this film state that the characters have thirty-three days. Apparently, this film is set only roughly twenty days in a summer, and at the time the asteroid is discovered, they have just eighteen days till it hits Earth.

The intention with the asteroid was to make it look "mean," not anything like the hunks of floating mass other asteroid movies had had. Hubble photographs showed green and blue gases coming off of actual asteroids and stars being born, and this was one aspect to Armageddon"s asteroid Bay used to make it look more menacing.

The main drill site in the film was shot at Stage 2 at Disney, one of the biggest sound stages in Hollywood. Michael Bay notes the stage, which is larger than a regulation football field, still wasn"t big enough, so the floor was taken down another 40 feet making the entire height of the set 90 feet. The set was also built wall-to-wall on the sound stage.

At the time of its production, Armageddon had the largest budget ever approved by Disney (under the Touchstone banner) for one of its films: $140,000,000 dollars.

"I learned on Bad Boys working with two improv actors and not having much of a script," says Michael Bay talking about how he likes for his actors to improv particularly in funnier moments in his films. He explains this over the montage of the oil workers getting tested at NASA. Much of this montage was not scripted, merely outlined, and the actors utilized whatever they could find on set to make the moments lighter.

Ben Affleck did the film with the desire to perform all of his own stunts. The space station sequence, one of the first scenes filmed on the movie, cured him of this. The moment when his character is climbing the ladder and a fireball passes by him was a little too close for the actor. He decided after that he wasn"t as gutsy as he liked to think and left the stunts to the stunt team. Of course, Bay would goad Affleck into doing some of these stunts regardless.

Michael Bay would have frequent meetings with his visual effects team and would meet with the different artists individually. He even asked James Cameron for advice on how to arrange editing and visual effects. Cameron"s advice was to have two meetings a day, one from 12-1PM and one at 7-8PM. Bay"s also notes his biggest concern with CGI, what he feels makes it look the cheapest and most fake, is how the light hits it and the quality of that light.

According to Jerry Bruckheimer, the film has roughly 250 effects shots. Before that the most the producer had ever oversaw was around 80 in Crimson Tide.

The film has several The Right Stuff (1984) references, such as the mean nurse looking through a window, and the astronauts walking with an enema bag during the medical exams.

The film depicts the top of the south tower of the World Trade Center burning as a meteor hit it almost identically to how it would look three years later, on September 11, 2001. The producers of the film decided not to edit it out after the terrorist attack.

Jerry Bruckheimer talks about what he calls "process movies." Movies like Beverly Hills Cop, Top Gun, and Armageddon allowed him and the respective film makers to be on hand with the types of people these films were about, to see how they operate in their natural environments and to show the audiences how the characters in these films become who they are by the end of the film from a job or career viewpoint.

Michael Bay explains some of Harry Stamper"s back story that was found in an earlier draft of the screenplay. He"s a good businessman who"s made a lot of money with his drilling business. He was married when he was 18, because the woman became pregnant with Liv Tyler"s character. The director mentions this back story is the driving force of the movie, that Harry does everything he does in the film because of his daughter. Bruce Willis was always in Bay"s mind to play Stamper, but he never thought it was a reality. He looked more to Sean Connery to play the part. It was after meeting real oil drillers that Bay realized they could be played by someone as young as Willis. The actor was aged a bit for the part to fit the back story.

Keith David plays the role of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Kimsey who was the highest-ranking and most senior military officer in the United States Armed Forces and is the principal military advisor to the president. As Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Kimsey deals directly with the President of the United States. At a crucial point he gets an order from the President that he must obey; regardless of his personal feelings. To prepare for the part, David studied the life of General Colin Powell. David even watched videotapes of former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Colin Powell to get a sense of military bearing and also read Powell"s autobiography to better understand how a high-ranking officer looks at problems, such as when Colin Powell dealt with the Gulf War crisis in 1991.

Michael Bay remembers the biggest nightmare coming about three weeks before filming was to begin. He had worked with costumes and the production design team to come up with a workable yet cool looking space suit. When he went to see the suits they had made, he says they looked like an "Adidas jogging suit." The gloves for the suit were store-bought gardening gloves the team was painting grey. Apparently, the designer on the suits was French and had worked with Luc Besson on a previous film. "They do things very differently in France. They"re more the artistes. This is not big, American movie making where if you don"t have a space suit that works for a big fucking movie star, you are F*CKED!" Bay apologizes for the language and the screaming, but he"s clearly still holding a grudge. He also mentions each suit cost about $1M to design and make.

Michael Bay doesn"t particularly like presidents in movies. He notes watching Contact (1997) and how the digitized usage of Bill Clinton took him out of the film. It was his attempt to make the president in this film more of a presence than a real person, which is why you mostly see the character in glimpses and on monitors.

Michael Bay had signed a deal with Disney for two movies, the first of them being The Rock (1996). He signed for two movies, because he was certain The Rock would be a financial failure coming out the same Summer as Independence Day (1996), Twister (1996) and Mission: Impossible (1996). He wanted to make sure he"d be tied down for one more film in case that happened, but once The Rock proved a success, Bay found himself in a predicament. He looked through every script Disney had, but none of them appealed to him. He did the same with the scripts Jerry Bruckheimer had with similar results. Bay set out with screenwriter Jonathan Hensleigh who he had worked with on The Rock and who Bay claims is a good writer for big ideas. Hensleigh had the idea that would end up becoming Armageddon. It was Joe Roth"s idea to call the film Armageddon after Bay and Hensleigh pitched him the idea. Roth also decided at that time it would be Disney"s biggest film of 1998.

The film was originally going to end on the tarmac, but Michael Bay and Ben Affleck agreed they needed to show his character and Liv Tyler"s character getting married. It was Affleck"s idea to shoot a lot of the wedding celebration with a Super 8 camera and include this footage over the credits. These shots were done using Affleck"s own Super 8 camera.

Rock hound (Steve Buscemi) and Redhead (Shawnee Smith) meet in a bar and she accepts his offer to buy her a drink. In The Island (2005), Steve Buscemi and Shawnee Smith play a romantic couple who live together.

As Michael Bay notes, Billy Bob Thornton always likes to play physically imperfect characters. The leg brace Dan Truman wears in the film was his idea.

A small moment between Willis and Thornton"s characters where the two reveal to each other how scared they are was filmed but cut. It has been included back into the Criterion edition. So has a scene between Willis"s character and that of his father, a former deep well driller played by Lawrence Tierney.

Michael Bay says on the commentary that this was one of perhaps two or so films a year that shot over a million feet of Kodak film. He says that in these cases, the production company is sent a gift of six bottles of Korbel (Champagne) at around ten dollars per bottle. This may be down to limits on the value of "business gifts" that can be freely given.

Michael Bay brings up product placement in Armageddon just as a BMW is shown driving towards the camera, Aerosmith playing over the soundtrack. The former commercial director mentions how, when you"re making a film as expensive as Armageddon, you have to combine commerce and art. "If you insert these things and insert them smartly you can save production money, and it really does help." Bay does note that maybe it isn"t right for Affleck and Liv Tyler"s characters to be riding in a BMW, but he really doesn"t defend it other than the production cost angle.

Bruce Willis"s stunt double, Terry Jackson, was almost killed on the set. A large piece of pipe hit him in the head, but he was thankfully wearing a hard hat.

It was always Michael Bay"s intention for Armageddon to be rated PG-13. He had decided on this shortly after The Rock. He wanted to shoot it like an R-rated film with all the sophistication and seriousness of an adult movie but with none of the R-rated trimmings like language or blood. He notes the falseness at work when the Independence crash lands on the asteroid. The way the windows blow out, the pilots and most everyone else on the ship would find the blood in their bodies being ripped out and their bodies generally being torn apart. He acknowledges how fake the crash is in the finished film. He notes something his grandfather told him: "You can make money if you sell stuff to middle America." That"s exactly what he did.

The "global killer" speech given by Billy Bob Thornton"s character is featured in the song "Central Tunnel Eight" by Swedish death metal band Cipher System.

The Armadillo vehicle was built specifically for Armageddon. NASA doesn"t really have anything like it. It cost roughly $1M, and, according to Bay, it never broke down. Evidently they never took it past 3000 miles without getting the oil changed.

Mattel had a toy line attached to Armageddon. They told Bay that toy trucks with guns attached to them sell more. This is Bay"s reasoning for why there is a giant Gatling gun affixed to each of the Armadillos. There was a scene in the film that was to explain the gun, but this has been cut.

According to Jerry Bruckheimer, the film originally opened with kids spotting the asteroid. They were then detained by the government. The producer didn"t feel it was the right tone with which to start off the movie. Tony Gilroy had a hand in the restructuring of the film.

Michael Bay starts off the commentary with, "Why is there a Criterion edition of Armageddon?" He explains that Armageddon took a year of his life to make, and he and the 2700 (estimate) people who worked on it went through great pains to get it done. He explains that finishing a film is like winning a war and how glorious it feels when an audience sits in a darkened theater and watches his films. There isn"t much of an explanation about the Criterion Collection, per se, other than they may have recognized the passion Bay has for making film.

A screenwriter begged Michael Bay for the opportunity to rewrite Armageddon. Bay doesn"t mention the writer"s name but says he was a young writer who rewrote 53 pages of the screenplay. As Bay explains, he read what the screenwriter had written, and it was "pure s*it." Bay says he read the new opening to the film, but it didn"t grab him like he felt it should. The screenwriter came back a few days later with the opening the film has now with the spaceship exploding from meteor hits.

"I asked Michael why it was easier to train oil drillers to become astronauts than it was to train astronauts to become oil drillers, and he told me to shut the fuck up, so that was the end of that talk." This tidbit of information comes from Ben Affleck who proceeds to then rip apart the entire backbone of Armageddon"s premise. For a few good minutes he talks about how ridiculous the concept is, how it can"t be that difficult to train astronauts to drill.

"Once the enemy is destroyed, the movie is over," says Bay explaining why many Armageddon"s subplots are wrapped up extremely quickly after the survivors land. He would later use this technique to its very fullest with Transformers: Dark of the Moon.

The idea of "secondary protocol" comes from an actual NASA fail-safe. Whenever NASA launches a shuttle, it is one man"s job to sit near a killswitch button, which, according to Bay, is a "self destruct button." Bay likes how much NASA backs themselves up and the redundancy the company goes through on any and every mission. He notes NASA would never send the shuttles up as they do in Armageddon without the ability to remote detonate the nuclear bombs. He also mentions the bomb in Armageddon cost roughly $75,000 to design and create.

Harry Stamper at one point refers to Dr. Quincy as "Mr Wizard." Jason Isaacs who portrayed Dr. Quincy later portrayed wizard Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter movie series.

The home base of Harry Stamper Oil must be in the greater Houston area, coincidentally near the NASA space department. As evidence, when the boys are allowed out for one night only, Rockhound is close enough to get a loan from his loan shark, Chick can pay a visit to his ex-wife and son and, in a deleted scene that wasn"t in the theatrical version but is shown very rarely, Harry visits his father, played by Lawrence Tierney. Tierney appears in the credits.

Michael Hutchence, leader of music band INXS, was considered for an undetermined role in the movie, before his premature death on November 22, 1997 at 37.

Rockhound says the famous, but misquoted Star Trek (1966) line "Beam me up, Scotty". Jason Isaacs starred as the Captain in Star Trek: Discovery (2017).

For the scene where the drillers are making their demands, Michael Bay had each actor write down on a piece of paper what he would ask for if put in this situation. Bruce Willis ad-libbed the entire scene from what the other actors had written down on their sheets. Bay didn"t realize he would be reading the demands directly off the sheets. Bay also recalls a joke Willis played on him that day of filming. When the director came on set he heard Willis screaming. The actor was yelling about how Bay was late, how he should have been there, and how Willis was walking off the set. No real arguments are divulged.

The sequence where Paris is destroyed was added late in production, even after a test screening had taken place. Jerry Bruckheimer remembers how much sitting and waiting there was in the film after the Shanghai sequence. He always felt the sequence needed to be there, but it kept getting dropped from the script for budgetary reasons. Joe Roth, the head of production at Disney at the time, was the final decision maker on this and agreed to add it back into the final film after the test screening. The French woman who bought gardening gloves for the space suits was just trying to save up money for this sequence. That"s not explained, but it makes perfect sense.

Michael Bay served as a second unit consultant for the 1993 film Indecent Proposal. He admits to ripping off a shot of dice tumbling on a craps table for Armageddon, but, to be fair, he came up with the original shot in the first place. Fair game.

Included among the American Film Institute"s 2004 list of 400 movies nominated for the top 100 America"s Greatest Music in the Movies for the song "I Don"t Want to Miss a Thing."

Billy Bob Thornton"s Dan Truman character is seemingly older than Thornton himself. As it"s mentioned a few times that Truman"s
