Space Cowboys
Frank Corvin, ‘Hawk’ Hawkins, Jerry O'Neill and ‘Tank’ Sullivan were hotdog members of Project Daedalus, the US Air Force's test program for space travel, but their hopes were dashed in 1958 with the formation of NASA and the use of trained chimps. They blackmail their way into orbit when Russia's mysterious ‘Ikon’ communications satellite's orbit begins to degrade and threatens to crash to Earth. From TMDB

60 of 79 · most liked firstLegend of the Blue Wolves continues to be misunderstood in the West thanks to the moniker of it being licensed as "Hot Space Cowboys", but it enjoyed a good life. Many of its early promotional work references the Gundam compilation films and had many animators on board who were Sunrise adjacent.

It used to be a staple of Sunday programming alongside The Fugitive, The Negotiator, and A Few Good Men. If you didn't want to watch football you could watch any number of manly movies about manly men

unlabelledView post →President Bill Clinton watched the movie Space Cowboys (2000) at the White House on September 3, 2000.
unlabelledView post →Reminds me of the movie Space Cowboys which, while 100% fiction, was based partly on the premise that the one old coot had to go into space because he was the only one who knew the coding used on the rogue missile thing (fuzzy on details but you get the gist).

unlabelledView post →On the one hand this is emblematic of US policy failures, OTOH I'm imagining a Space Cowboys/Star Trek IV-esque movie where a ragtag group of geriatric civil engineers are brought out of retirement to rebuild all the public transit from the early 1900s before an alien probe destroys Earth.
unlabelledView post →We can all nitpick about personal preferences (I might swap Space Cowboys to White Hunter Black Heart), but this fabulous list shows the mind-boggling variety of his film career that some, preposterously, consider one-note. Kudos!
unlabelledView post →I once came within a hair's breadth of getting into a fistfight with movie talkers, and that was at a showing of goddamn Space Cowboys of all things. I just don't like people talking in my church, I guess.
unlabelledView post →A year later I went back to the same spot in Newry. There was the new Sainsbury's, & a new Warner's multiplex cinema, at the time voted the most comfortable in Europe. To test that claim (for work, of course) I watched Clint Eastwood, in Space Cowboys. The cinema was brilliant. The film not so much.
unlabelledView post →Yeah, there's a lot of TV/Movie overlap with several of them. After Garner came back to TV to do Rockford he still had a pretty distinguish film career with stuff like Murphy's Romance (with Sally), Fire in the Sky, the Maverick movie, My Fellow Americans, Space Cowboys and more.
unlabelledView post →As someone who *worked on* Space Cowboys, a movie that hired an *actual astronaut* as an advisor, I have questions about the integrity of the episode's final ranking.
unlabelledView post →Oh yeah, it is a great choice because it's a fitting combo between Coyote Joe and Hiromi Tengenji, because she is a space ace while I am a cowboy, which make sense! Also, I seen that Space Cowboys movie before when I was a kid. :)
unlabelledView post →Space Cowboys is an awesome and funny film
unlabelledView post →😂 I thought about using Moonraker or Space Camp, but I wanted to go with a Clint Eastwood theme since I used The Pink Cadillac for the same day. 😁 And Space Cowboys is such a fun movie. Think I need to watch it again soon. It's been a while!

unlabelledView post →I liked the movie 'Space Cowboys.'
unlabelledView post →I think it might be because it was brought to you by the Oscar worthy creators of Weird Science, Space Cowboys and 3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain, but who knows 🤷♀️
unlabelledView post →If you liked the #movie Space Cowboys, then you will definitely love Moonfall. It has Halle Berry as the star. #scifi
unlabelledView post →Idk why, but I always thought of “oesteoporosis.” I worked at Blockbuster when it came out and so there was an entire wall of “oesteoporosis” for me. I really don’t know why 🤦♀️ Same time frame: I always called the movie Space Cowboys “Space Monkeys” on accident. The looks customers gave me….
unlabelledView post →Good point! Shades of that film, "Space Cowboys", where NASA could no longer find engineers who understood analog/vacuum-tube-based technology!
unlabelledView post →Space Cowboys has big Dad Movie energy.
unlabelledView post →I’ve largely been enjoying my Clint Eastwood binge, but Space Cowboys might be the longest movie of all-time.
unlabelledView post →The movie Space Cowboys 😂
unlabelledView post →Just watched Space Cowboys - the 2000 Clint Eastwood vehicle about old men in space - and it was a veritable master class in how to remove all potential suspense and gravitas from a movie just by fucking up the camera angles. A bad idea made worse by incompetence.

unlabelledView post →It’s like the movie Space Cowboys except they don’t do anything
unlabelledView post →If you want a feel-good film, consider "Space Cowboys" (2000).
unlabelledView post →I remember Space Cowboys as well, and it being it a great movie, too. Might just have to take your suggestions this weekend and watch at least one of them. Thanks for the great recommendations. Have a good one!
unlabelledView post →I know that's going to be a problem. I regularly reference the movie Space Cowboys, or remind people of the recall of COBOL people for Y2K. Even worse, these companies aren't developing the next generation of senior programmers so when the current group departs, they won't have anyone that knows.

unlabelledView post →I love that movie. I have a thing for "male bonding under duress movies" that also includes Apollo 13, K-19, and Space Cowboys.
unlabelledView post →What Clint Eastwood movie begins with his rescue from hanging? 1. Hang 'Em High 2. Space Cowboys 3. Every Which Way But Loose 4. The Good, The Bad and the Ugly
unlabelledView post →No, The Bucket List was not Wild Hogs (the middle-aged guys motorcycle movie) or Old Dogs (the other middle-aged guys motorcycle movie), nor was it any of the subsequent wave of 'old guys do exciting stuff' movies (Space Cowboys, Last Vegas, RED...).
unlabelledView post →finally got to watch some more Space Cowboys with @whaler.bsky.social last night. What a very strange movie for Clint Eastwood to even be in, much less direct. He's a great fit for the old man shenanigans but, I dunno, Clint in a space suit gives me a serious case of cognitive dissonance
