We can all just sit here on Earth, wait for this big rock to crash into it, kill everything and everybody we know. United States government just asked us to save the world. Anybody wanna say no? They're the words of Harry Stamper played by Bruce Willis to his fellow oil rig workers in Armageddon. With an asteroid hurtling towards Earth, the blue-collar deep-core drillers were asked by NASA to train up as astronauts in just 11 days and then fly into space and use their drilling skills to plant a nuclear bomb on the asteroid, hopefully diverting it off its dangerous course.
Released just two months after a similar disaster movie, Deep Impact , Armageddon was the second highest grossing movie in after Saving Private Ryan and was nominated for four Academy Awards. To celebrate this much-loved — and much-mocked — movie, here's what you never knew about Armageddon 20 years after it was released. Even Ben Affleck didn't think the storyline was actually believable and during the DVD commentary he revealed what happened when he asked director Michael Bay a particular question about the plot.
In one of the most emotional scenes in the movie, Harry [played by Bruce Willis] says a final goodbye to his daughter Grace [played by Liv Tyler] on a video call after he decides to stay on the asteroid to detonate the bomb. Towards the end of the farewell, Harry starts crying. It was revealed in the DVD commentary that Willis was actually staring at pictures of his real life daughters when he recorded the heartfelt scene. Director Michael Bay wasn't thrilled by how Ben Affleck's teeth looked on camera so he decided to pay for the actor to get a new set.

He gave me a big hug one month ago at the GM party and we talked for 20 minutes. We even talked about working together again! It was a massive undertaking.
