In the kitchen, Ryback puts Ice-cream, broken glass and some sort of spirit into a bowl. The porter asks what he is doing to which Ryback replies, "i'm making a bomb".
Can anyone explain how he manages to create a bomb out of this?

well i guess they dont teack you how to make bombs in movies, do they now? also it was not much of a bomb, more like a molotov with a timer.
"If you have a gun, you don't need to work out"
When he said he was making a bomb, he was actually referring to the movie itself.
shareI actually know how to make this from my SAS book. Listen up:
Put two scoops of vanilla ice cream into a bowl. Add a dash of Cognac and then cover with a napkin. Put in the microwave for one minute. Remove, add some sprinkles - chocolate, not multi-coloured; won't work with multi-coloured - and then some of that fake cheese they use in cheap burgers. Place back in microwave for one minute, twenty seconds. Remove once more and add a cocktail umbrella; this acts as a detonator. Then run like hell!
What I found hilarious was his line delivery.
"What am I doing? Oh. I'm making a bomb." It was the most ridiculous use of "Oh" in a sentence. SOOO badly delivered.
I love to love my Lisa.
I wouldn't wanna eat his cake then. It might explode as you eat it...
When US2 was on TV, all the scenes showing the bomb making ingredients were edited out. Within a few months "Livewire" (starring Pierce Brosnan) was on another channel, and in that movie he's making a homemade bomb and makeshift weapons (which looked like they could work) and they showed everything.
shareKinda silly that they would edit out those scenes. If someone wants to make a bomb I'm sure they don't need to rely on Under Siege 2...
shareA whole new meaning to the saying "it goes right through me". The last cake you'll ever eat must be a hell of a last meal.
That restaurant Ryback owns must not use these ingredients. I mean the customers lived to tell the tale. His co-owner said "they come for you, not me". Maybe I have the quote off, but that was the idea.
My favorite quote in this movie is when he is talking to the other cooks, saying the train is "cramping my (his) style" while whipping the cake.
Yeah, I just watched that scene, and the "oh" really doesn't belong there. He starts with this tough-guy attitude and voice, when he says: "What am I doing?", like he's trying to threaten someone - and then raises his eyebrows, makes his mouth round, like he's going to kiss someone, and slowly says. "Ooh", as if only then he realized what he was asked - but he doesn't deliver the 'oh' with any kind of conviction, or in any kind of normal way, but just "states" it, like he's asked to simply make an "oh"-sound very clearly by a dentist or something.
You are right, it's hilarious and really awful delivery - would be very different without the "oh". The whole thing would still be weird and unbelievable, but at least it would be slightly less unintentionally funny.
This is one of the very few movies that do not have 'injected romance' as far as I remember (has been awhile since I watched it), though it does have its share of misandry and the typical 'powerful woman as a victim' scenario that never sits well because of its paradoxical nature.
Women are portrayed as very powerful and omnipotent ("I am not trained for this"), but at the same time, men have to do the most dangerous and dirty work anyway, and the women still end up as victims - feminism created this awful, gringe-worthy situation in movies, where women are supposedly very powerful and override the man's protection, when it would seem to hinder their freedoms, but then end up in danger, where a man has to rescue them anyway.. wouldn't it be better to just listen to the man in the first place and not insist on going with him to the dangerous mission?
This kind of stupidity can be seen in too many movies to list, right now 'Beverly Hills Cop' comes to mind. Murphy's character says that the woman shouldn't come along, and the woman insists, and then ends up in a dangerous situation that requires Murphy's character to save her. Groan.
Decide how you want to portray women and stick with it - are they helpless victims, or are they powerful, misandristic nutkickers that don't need any help from men, ever? You CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS.
