Always feel a very distant connection to this big/global Hollywood scene. Tom was trained by a British SAS CQB member. My old man was a pioneer in this area for this regiment (22 SAS [equivalent Delta Force for the yanks]) in its early years (64-70). So I like to think, at some level he inadvertently played a very minor role in this, however removed.

"Andy Mcnab" Ex SAS was the weapons instructor on an earlier Mann film "Heat" if I recall

[@danhirsch6554]

Former Infantry Marine here , yes two to the chest one to the head is the standard. It is complete muscle memory. He looks as if he's complying as he raises his hands but that just makes it easier to swat the guys gun while simultaneously using his other hand to move his coat tail and grab his pistol. He also shot that guy first because he already had his gun out and was the greater threat, whereas the other guy still had his pistol in his waist band. This was perfectly done. As a legendary assassin he knew exactly how to read the situation and react. Also close in shooting where they are less than 3 feet away this is exactly how you shoot your pistol. Elbow touching his hip, pistol straight toward target not sticking out so other guy can grab it. You do not have to aim when you're that close to your target.

[@SauceLife865]

Reminds me of the drills we ran in the kill houses in South Korea, 11B, 2ID, as long as you haven't passed the opposing soldier whose down, go ahead and hit the head with a tap too.

[@jaygonztx]

Here's what makes it tactical: 1. Weapon Retention - Being able to have positive control of your weapon when your opponent is that close is super important. This is what separates true gunfighters from what you see from guys like this thug doing. The thug had his arm stretched out (weapon presented), closed his distance on Cruise while Cruise was able to divert the muzzle away while simultaneously drawing his firearm. 2. Presentation - Notice that once Cruise manipulated the opponents firearm away from him, Cruise jumps into a "low draw presentation." Basically, seconds matter in a gunfight and if your opponent is that close- you don't need to spend more time aiming, just draw and shoot at the hip because it would be hard to miss at that distance. 3. Follow Through Presentation - Then notice how Cruise follows through from that low draw into an "isosceles presentation." An Isosceles stance at this distance is really for weapon retention. Not really for "aiming," but if Thug 2 wanted to throw hands and go for Cruise's weapon, it would be hard to pry it off of two hands vs if Cruise still had one point of contact (one hand) on his firearm. There are legit videos of SOC Vet Operators teaching this stuff on KZbin. You'll see these same movements in movies like John Wick.

And here's why it's not tactical. The first person he should have shot is the bald guy, not the guy whose gun he has already pushed out of the way. Had the bald guy not been so slow and just jumped around waiting to be shot, Vicent would have got a bullet himself. The long haired guy's gun is already out of the way, Vincent should have hold on to his wrist. For a moment there, he's no longer a threat. The bald guy is the only threat remaining and requires immediate elimination. Put at least one bullet in him and then shoot the long haired guy.

[@jaygonztx]

@@joemanner6171 Very true. It's easy to play what ifs in a chaotic scenario such as this one. Regardless, what I love about this scene is that it shows Vincent is the one in control in this confrontation- which for any person with decent gun skills/training, it isn't unlikely to have this confidence. I'm willing to bet a few coins that the bald guy has zero training in this caliber of gun skills. Which isn't too far off from reality. The average person would scramble to react as they watch their partner in crime have his life card pulled. Also, when things happen that fast and you're breaking off shots quickly- it can be easy to shoot yourself in the arm/hand.

I was a police officer for 24 years and in the military for 20 years active/reserve in the Army/USAF.....his tactics are right on....I was taught the same deflection move and gun draw in a academy I was in where they taught aikido based weaponless defense.......Tom Cruise is one hell of an athlete and took his training seriously...not like the old time BS like they had back in the day with Don Johnson clearing rooms with the hand gun up in the air next to his right ear...

[@T8minifreak]

@@US_ARMY_25_INF._DIV. if someone already has a gun pointed to your face though isn't it a bad idea to try to deflect like that? Sounds like you will get shot without a doubt

[@Daniel-hs9bj]

@USAF DIRT BOYZ I would say his tactics were wrong here. He should have shot the other guy first, he was the one who still had a weapon. in real life, he likely wouldn't have fumbled pulling out his gun like he did in this scene.

Aikido is bullshit that doesn't work. And deflection won't work 9/10 times because the trigger finger and the bullet is much faster than your entire hand. I highly doubt you served anywhere, especially since you brought up the aikido shit

It was really a "Box Drill" A Mozambique is against only 1 agressor. With 2 it's: 2 rounds COM at #1 2 rounds COM and 1 head shot at #2 and 1 head shot at #1.

[@anthonylewis2080]

One of the technical advisors was Michael Gould - who served in the British Army's SAS and has a wealth of knowledge in martial arts - and its clear his training is flawless with Tom Cruise's character Vincent. How I see it, one assesses their environment and neutralises any threats whenever necessary - almost similar in nature to any wild animal hunting for prey and survival.

[@svene.3856]

This movie convinced me that Tom Cruise is a very good actor, not only a, really, first class action actor. It made me rewatch some of his other movies and they confirmed this. I think his perception as an action star hinders many to see him as a character actor. It's a problem many talented actors have. Their commercial movie roles overshadow their true talent: John Wayne for example, who in fact was a great character actor aside from the hero persona he intentionally created in his "hero movies", especially as the broken, lonely outsider in The Searchers, Red River, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Sands of Iwo Jima. His last role in The Shootist was transcendentally beautiful. He was ignored for an Oscar, altough nominated two times before, until 1970 ... Vince Vaughn and Adam Sandler, who have proven to be very good actors, who just hadn't had the chance to prove it before... Matthew McConaughey and Bradley Cooper, who, for a long time, were written off as just those sunny boy actors... Cary Grant, I think, never got the acting credit he deserved because he was just THE MOST SYMPATHETIC movie star of all time. Will Smith, who I think was too long perceived as a romantic comedy actor and finally won an Oscar (even tough his appearance and speech were really cringey)... Jim Carrey, who has long deserved an Oscar!! The list goes on and on and on... Collateral really showed how well Tom Cruise can act.

[@mmcneil777]

I really believe he is an underrated actor. I thought he should of won a number of academy awards. For instance, I thought he should have won an academy award for Born on the 4th of July and Jerry McGuire for best lead actor and won an academy award for this role. His movies have on the whole held up well. Risky Business, Minority Report, Collateral, etc. are still really good movies. Some people's movies don't hold up that well, but many of his movies still hold up well.

Cruise absolutely killed this role. Makes me wonder how good he'd have been as John Wick. I think his speed and being a more aggressive person than Keanu Reeves would have made some of those Wick scenes even more visceral or at least more believable.

[@weirdshibainu]

Cruise is believable in this role. As much as I enjoy the Wick movies they make him invulnerable...and I never got why an assassin would wear a tie

[@soulerflare7]

Keanu competes in 3 gun competitions and is a very very good marksman. I'm not sure if it translates to the big screen that well because I'm not that familiar with the Wick films .

[@jthughes9820]

@@soulerflare7 You make a good point. Unlike this scene which is practically one for one with real life military or law enforcement techniques, John Wick is what you would call "action fantasy"...the idea of one or a handful of men plowing through waves of enemies while looking cool doing it. While 3 gun competition techniques are very real, if you watch the films the writers clearly wanted to use them to make John Wick look like a kung fu hero just using guns instead of fists or a staff. That doesn't make them bad films (quite the contrary I would say), but like many movies you have to suspend your disbelief a little to enjoy them. Thanks for listening. JT Hughes

[@tyberious3023]

@@jthughes9820 Exactly, John wick had too much "plot armor" if you will. The tactics in the movie were fine but it wasn't anywhere near realistic. Fun movie but just not enjoyable after awhile. Collateral was actually realistic and not dramatized, I actually really enjoyed the style of this movie.
