A really bad remake in fact terrible

I’ve just ordered the 70’s version on DVD, I probably could never watch the later version just because the setting and lighting presented in this vid is just so visually ugly to my eyes. But am very excited to see the old version for my first time.

John Wick, the scariest hitman in the entire Wickiverse, top trained assassin, must stare at his entire gun with both eyes to reload every single time, always remembering to take his eyes off his targets for a few moments. They’ll never expect amateur tactics!

4:16 Yes!! We love a bit of history 😄

the only movie to make reloading fun. before this every movie shooter had unlimited ammo

Somehow, there's literally nothing better than Keanu murdering 100s of people to Vivaldi. You just can't f*ck with it. Also, the one handed press-check he does in the hallway (around 2:15) is literally my favorite moment in all of the films.

No... Nolans gotham is easily the most disliked gothams

I really wish the new sleuth was as good as the first one. First one is an absolute classic. They really dropped the ball with the new one despite the amazing cast. Writing just wasn’t there. Not sure what happened with Harold Pinter there

Burton and Reeves versions of Gotham are the best imo

It seems I'm the only person here who liked the 2007 version more 😂

My grandson watched the original Sleuth, on YT. I was surprised, he loved it. It's been one of my favorites. ❤

3:56 is this a reload without pulling the barrel ? this is only possible if you count the shots and let just one in the chamber and reload

The one-handed press check at 2:19 is absolutely clean.

Wish you updated this with fourth one

The new house is so boring, although I do kind of like the scribble statue. I would have loved to have seen Caine in the same role as Olivier played. I get that people want to put their own spin on things, but sometimes I would like to see a remake that is just an old-fashioned remake, like going to the play again with different actors.

I have the VHS and the DVD, but before I got the DVD, I watched it on KZbin. It's still on KZbin as of 2024/03/07.

I grew up with the old one. My dad has a great taste in movies. Just watched them both again. The second is quite disappointing compared to the first, but I'm glad they did it. I want more remakes from older movies. I'm trying to remember another movie with similar character tones and a twisty plot. It was about a once famous play writer who has hit a dry spell. It's got Christopher Reeves. I remember it being funnier than these two. 😂just remembered "death trap "

Love how it looks like he's playing a violin while reloading at 1:28. John Wick is a Maestro. Violence is his music, and the gun is his instrument.

He even looted ammo from fallen enemies. John really took advantage of his main character status. 🤣🤣

Watch the shotgun recoil at 4:37 Soooo realistic and cool! Right?

This was beautiful to watch ❤️

The quad loading of the shotgun and the one handed press check on the Kimber 45 are my favorites.

4:09 Winston just sitting and chillin watching them load up

The matter is how faster you utilise your weapons😅

1:29 the way his silhouette looks while reloading the shotgun looks like he's playing the violin

I always felt like John would Be a 1911 guy.

I’m impressed with Chicago and New York filming the dark knight trilogy.

This is cool af

BB (the best look) & TDKR (the spectacle more than made up for it) & worked for me TDK is my least favourite visuals in any batman movie, surprisingly being the best movie (for villain & story). Tim Burton 89 batman was the one that resonated the most as Gotham. The greatest Gotham though was the pulp like 1940s stories in the Batman TAS (1992-95).

Or Under The Volcano.

The first one. No contest. Now go watch The Dresser or The Ruling Class.

First M1 Garand ping, now reload flip. A Field of reload porn has been born.

Not sure why everyone is focused on John Wicks mag flip when Deadshot (Will Smith) did it first in Suicide Squad in the 2016 film when is he testing weapons at the beginning of the film.

I think some assumptions are being made here. The 3rd film is Manhattan in many wide shots of the whole city, but its mostly Pittsburgh on location. Its manhattan because they needed Gotham to be an Island cut off. They filmed in Pittsburgh instead of Chicago i would assume for reasons of budget and scheduling more than anything. Filming in Chicago and NYC can be difficult and expensive, so you go to substitute cities like Toronto or Pittsburgh. My favorite Chicago movie is Payback starting Mel Gibson. They do add some location shots of other cities, and never name the city, but it's all Chicago. And they make the era a mix of the 70s, 80s, and 90s so you can't tell when its supposed to take place, like all the cars are late 70s to early 80s models, except for some sports cars in a flashback and a limo. The clothing likewise, and the types of crimes and underworld activity, but there are all sorts of 90s artifacts sprinkled in as well.

0:00 okay, you lost me. YOU'RE NOT KUBRICK!

Chicago was real gotham city

Personally I loved the reloads for the sounds, amazing video tho!

4:40 this is the one. Looks so satisfying

1:05 I’m pretty sure he killed a henchman off camera with that reload.

2:55 That headshot by hip fire is so ridiculous

02:15 やっぱこのシーン好きじゃわ。

Now do how many shots were fired throughout all the movies. 😂

音…

Love it so much.

No recoil on a pressed shotgun's shot? Failed to keep everything in mind, it seems.

This is a brilliant video essay, as it combines facts with methods and analysis to culminate in interpretation. I particularly love the transfer from and examplification of "City of God" to support your main theory. Excellently structured, argued and supplemented with video edits. Fantastic!

Show

Excellent. You explain the differences without overdoing it. Unlike many remakes, it seems that this one has reasons for the changes it makes. I think I'd like to see it sometime.

I love the way he checks every time to make sure one is in the chamber

any updates on the video?
