5 Times Raylan Givens Outsmarted Criminals in Justified Season 1 (Timothy Olyphant)

[@stephengrigg5988]

12:35 Small moments of respect between combatants like that, is my favorite specific/obscure thing in film.

"You do seem to have a penchant for getting abducted." Ava really does, doesn't she.

[@johnkeenan1829]

Every time I watch this show I think to myself "Timothy Olyphant as the new Jim Rockford".

[@Hoppenoffer]

No …as the new Jimmy Stewart. A murderous psychopath in sheriffs cloths. Just an ordinary guy. Mmmm

[@friktionrc]

This is a brilliant call 👌👏👏👏

[@bill7618]

He and James Garner both very fine actors .❤❤

[@thepayne7862]

That would actually be pretty good they both can play the tough guy but turn the charm off and on.

[@jshelhorse]

Written very similarly. Good catch!

[@wesmartyn3829]

I first saw Timothy as agent 47. Been a fan ever since. His daughter, in Primeaval, has a very unique voice. Glad she is related to my favorite actor.

[@sholva6809]

I first saw him as Micky in Scream 2

[@huma474]

Script was bad but he has that element that lets him play the characters well. If they'd written 47 closer to what he was in the second or third game that movie might have won an Oscar.

[@hubie4x4]

He's a good actor. I first notice him in the movie, The Crazies. Good flick.

What a terrific series. Beautifully written, skillfully directed, brilliantly acted.

[@Nickel5555]

What a ridiculous 1st scene scenario. You've got them in a cabin, and you have 2 with long ranged, scoped rifles, and 2 with AK47s...so you have the SNIPER move up, put down his gun and look in, the ONLY window Rayland happens to be hiding beneath. What a joke!

[@kykrazy6050]

​@Nickel5555 Have you ever watched the series? If not you should, if you have then great....either way shut your mouth.

[@alphanerd7221]

@@Nickel5555 Some holes in your logic. The sniper is no good to them. That's a long term gain and they are far from home with no backup. They have no idea what law enforcement or hill people are coming to kill them. Also, not a lot of windows in that little cabin and one of them just had two shots come out of it. Also, even if these killers were incompetent, which they are not, having incompetent killers isn't bad writing because most killers are incompetent.

[@sierra8186]

So I know I am coming in to this a day late and a dollar short, but Raylan is the MAN! His sayings and expressions are priceless, and he is a bad ass! I have never watched the series but plan to go back and do so now! I especially like the 2 neo-Nazi folks in the vehicle (not in this clip) where they stop and his car is ahead, but Raylan gets int he back. He asks them what is going on, they don't answer, and he fires the shotgun in between the two of them. When the driver starts giving him crap, he hits him in the mouth with the gun butt, and tells him "life as a fugitive is not an easy life", or something similar. Awesome!

[@jadefire2817]

That was Dewey Crowe and Devil . Raylan tells them, "Outlaw life's hard, ain't it?"

[@robertthompson5701]

The only thing that never made sense to me about the cabin shootout in season 1. Why did they kill Bo, and try to kill Boyd, but not even attempt to wound Raylan? Raylan was arguably the easier target to hit, and the person they were after. He was completely exposed, while Bo and Boyd had some level of cover being in front of him.

[@thefisherking78]

Plot armor 😅

[@brandenbearden1964]

Could be gio wanted Raylan alive to torture him. And they figured get the others out of the way then deal with Raylan

They were supposed to bring Rylan in alive. Beau had messed up himself to get him on their list.

I used to subscribe to Writers Digest. One of the articles was asking writers what they read for pleasure. About 8 out of 10 of them said Elmore Leonard. That's what turned me on to him. They were right. It was a sad day to me when he died.

I miss this show so much. It was so damn good. I wouldn't want it to come back though. Lightning doesn't strike twice, it ended just fine. I only wish I could watch it again having no memory of it.

I love RDJ as iron man of course, but I'd love to see the universe where Timothy was cast. For people that don't know, Olyphant was incredibly close to being cast as Iron Man before they took a risk with RDJ. I dont know if he could have sold the sarcastic charismatic side as well, but I think he could have portrayed the darker side of Tony Stark the 'Merchant of Death'(something I dont think RDJ ever really did).
