Denzel's Performance In *Training Day* Had Me Speechless | First Time Watching

[@BigDeeCTE901]

One of my favorites 🔥🔥🔥. Channel Is So Underrated 💪🏿💯.

[@rafm3068]

"....You literally put a gun to his head!!" -Denzel "Aint like I put a gun to your head!" LMAO!!!!

[@kcxsmooth]

Denzel is arguably the greatest actor of all time.

[@Xgendude14]

Denzel is great, but he aint got nothin on James Earl Jones.

[@Youngairmoney]

He is one of them but how humble he is he ain’t gone say just like Jordan not calling his self the GOAT

[@kcxsmooth]

@@Youngairmoney but he know

[@markc.7984]

I'd say he's definitely the best of modern times. All time goes to Jimmy Stewart.

[@tonysoto8949]

Denzel is great but the Oscar he got for this movie was not deserved, he should have gotten it for his portrayal of Malcolm X. Ethane Hawke deserved it more for supporting actor which he did not get. As good as Denzel is he has a few actors ahead of him for GOAT, Daniel Day Lewis who plays Billy the Butcher in Gangs of New York, Wacking Fenicks who plays Comados in Gladiator and Joker, and the GOAT Marlon Brando who played Vitto Corleone in The Godfather. There’s also Al Pacino, Robert DeNiro, Morgan Freeman, and Kevin Costner who are all in the same class as Denzel.

[@hughfuller8416]

Denzel played a great role in this movie.

[@TheRedPeril]

To be fair I think that’s vastly underselling his performance. Like the Joker in TDK, the script is excellent but the leads help it reach new levels.

[@PedranZ]

denzel washington and ethan hawke is both so good in this movie... denzels role is based on a true cop named rafael perez. he was a corrupt LA police officer that did all kind of crazy shit. some people accuses him for being behind biggie smalls murder and accuses him for being a member of bloods:P. but this is one of my favorite movies for sure...denzel is also one of my favorite actors

[@MJWITHOUTSPIDERMAN]

Holy, you learn something new everyday.

[@blast4me754]

This movie came out right after the 9-11 Attacks and most people didn't hear about this movie until a couple of years later after its debut at the theaters. I remember watching this for the first time around 2005 and my bro said it didn't get a big movie theatre debut because of the Attacks.

[@rednaskela4830]

This is one of my favorite movies. Denzel and Ethan were amazing!

[@safespaceforstupidtakes933]

lmao one of my all time favorite lines .. " put me in the front seat with him bet i whoop his ass" lmao so neither can use their legs 😂😂

[@benlarmouth]

The Mount Rushmore of greatest actors of all time are Marlon Brando, Sidney Poitier, Denzel Washington and Daniel Day Lewis nothing tops those guys. Great reaction and excellent movie.

[@Jaybeast5x]

Thanks for the translation when Denzel was talking to his son. Watching this movie 20 yrs never knew lol

[@craiganderson5813]

As much as I love this film the fact it took so long for Denzel to win "Best Actor," and he hasn't won since this film is a travesty.

[@breslinhoward6992]

He should’ve won for Malcolm x

[@barry3426]

Denzel is a classic in Training Day but let's look at how this was the year 2001 & Snoop was in both Training Day and Baby Boy. Two classics in one year.

[@davidgreen665]

The jungles is really a "blood" neighborhood. One way in and one way out. Those were real gang members.

[@anthonygillies3185]

Time to squeeze in an old school classic comedy " House Party"

[@therealc.t.7085]

Fun fact: Alonzo was suppose to get away in the end but Denzel forced them to rewrite the ending.

[@YK-rs8pm]

Lmfao bro saved the movie from a terrible ending

[@therealc.t.7085]

@@YK-rs8pm lmao technically you’re right but I was low key rooting for him. I would have paid to see a sequel but it probably would have been mid.

[@hmodaldosari2251]

12:07 girll those are gang tags 😭🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@nightwingman666]

Seeing this move then Man of Fire I am shocked how much range Denzel has an actor. Also a small detail Alonzo says on the phone ‘Make sure the bathtub is clean’ means he fully planned to have Jake killed despite all his talk of ‘You have what it takes Jake to be leader and change things.’ the only thing he didn’t count on was Jake’s good deed of saving Smiley’s cousin being the one hitch in his ‘plan’.

[@Secondcityreyn]

"Ooooh my god, She fine! I feel a little gay" You're so funny and so real for that, Ma'am 😂🤣

[@Nelson_Swamp]

14:46 Thank you for the translation. I have loved this movie for 20+ years and never knew what they were saying in that scene. I just tried to comprehend in context.

[@jasonll1980]

This was Terry Cruz's first movie. He said he was there for security and the director saw him and asked him if he wanted to be in the movie.

[@boldbearings]

2:07 Jake's super model wife. Charlotte Ayanna was Miss Teen USA in 1993 😂😂❤❤

[@Bipolarintrovert]

ONE OF MY FAVORITE DENZEL WASHINGTON MOVIES 🎥, HE DID THE DAMN THING

[@dive2drive314]

I was in high school when this first came out and it blew my mind. Denzel's best performance in my opinion..

[@B-Mag]

Denzel was so good in this movie that sometimes we forget that Ethan Hawke was also phenominal

[@bigpancho22]

Paid in full , new jack city , and shottas I cant wait for your reactions to them

[@koberamirez1784]

@14:13 that’s the REM cycle. Eyeballs move in your sleep depending on what phase in the REM you’re in.

[@dzizzle8545]

At 13:00 - He stole the money because it was roughly half a weeks pay compared to his paycheck. You see, grasshopper, a dirty cop does this several times a week. It's easy for them if they feel like the person deserves it. This movie is a lesson on duality in the "human condition". Great video!!

[@Joeshoki]

"King Kong ain’t got shit on me!"

[@obiiheanacho4914]

So glad I came across your channel. Your charm, funniness, and sharp wit is so refreshing. Keep doin ya thing 👍🏾👏🏾. Original Gangsters, Higher Learning, The Wash, 8 Mile are some movies you should review just to name

[@maxatempa2112]

"The wash " with snoop

[@DerEinzige21]

What most people don't know is that there is another version of the end scene that was deleted from the original version. That Benz you see at the end where Jake pulls up to his house actually has the members of the high table that Alonzo spoke with earlier to get the warrant. They confront Jake to collect the money that Alonzo was going to pay the Russians, but Jake already had turned it into evidence, telling them that's what a cop is supposed to do, right? So Jake ends his training day with a clear conscience however he loses favor with the higher ups being a "boyscout" cop.

[@jeremiahsmith7389]

You know that was based off a real police officer

[@dondeniro2118]

this role got Denzel an Oscar for Best Actor & it was well deserved 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 2:08 I just looked her up, Charlotte Ayanna was Miss Vermont Teen USA 1993 & Miss Teen USA 1993 so maybe that explains it 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@gorgejung307]

This is a mediocre movie by a mediocre director with a good but overacted performance by Denzel. Dude deserved an Oscar long before this performance. Its a joke. Like Joaquin Phoenix winning for the joker. Garbage movie mediocre performance.

[@boldbearings]

Good trivia😂👍

[@enlightenmenttv2287]

"...and he just has more experience than you, and he's just whoopin' yo ass..." 😂😂😂😂

[@mrbambino3893]

The reason it's referred to as the "Jungles" is because of the Palm 🌴 trees inside those complexes and also due to the many dead ends within that community. I'm from South Central L.A and that place is and was notorious for all kinds of criminality. Peace

[@mekhimercury9936]

NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN. Some of the best acting I’ve seen

[@WakingDreamer01]

2:07 The actress who plays Jake's wife was actually Miss Teen USA IRL, before she started her acting career.

[@lamontwilliams4172]

Denzel the greatest of all time

"KING KONG AIN'T GOT 💩 ON ME!"

[@MississippiKaijuMusic]

Baby you be asking questions before the answer reveals itself.😂

[@robertwoods3871]

11:19 you're correct. Not only is it dangerous, its also a felony (destruction of evidence) 😂

[@TheKingOfRuckus]

I was supposed to be doing something and I stopped to watch this reaction. You made me laugh when you said "What? The butthole?", lol. Very glad you enjoyed this film! Training Day is a really good movie. Denzel earned his Oscar for sure. Halle Berry got one the same year for Monster's Ball. That movie was decent, but Training Day is really something else. Denzel and Ethan also star together in The Magnificent Seven, which is a remake of a classic western with the same name. Very good movie. Jake's wife was played by Charlotte Ayanna. She won Miss Teen USA in 1993, so you were technically right about her looking like a model. Alonzo's wife was played by Eva Mendes, which is really all i need to say😂🤷🏿‍♂️.

[@allisontucker9874]

This is Denzel’s greatest role in my opinion!! Such a fantastic film

[@saucytony4609]

2nd best malcom x better

[@bastage548]

"What do you mean by that"😂😂

[@nolinpowe]

13:52 if you notice in the background when the gang members keep their mouth shut it isn't until Alonzo leaves that they say what they say about him, but whats interesting is that you can tell their scared from a filmmaker perspective because when they voice their concern you can hear sirens in the background symbolizing Alonzo has power over them, it isn't until Jake takes alonzo's badge that the gang members dont see him as a cop anymore symbolizing the fact theyre no longer threatened by him and they stand up for Jake seeing him as a real person

[@lintonharvey560]

That theory of why it took so long for weed to be legal actually hit harder than it should’ve.

[@The2masina]

Did You Know This? Denzel Washington In Training Day Was Playing The Cop Who Was Allegedly Involved In 2pac & Biggies Death!

[@gamexsimmonds3581]

You should watch the movie Unstoppable with Denzel Washington, he played a veteran train conductor, it has good cast and is very action packed and real feeling

[@partypoison80]

The thing that got me about Alonzo was he knew he owned the Russian money he clearly had a plan to get it why didn’t he just postpone the training till the next day so he get that money

[@dzizzle8545]

Lotsa Easter eggs in this movie! It had everything but Hunter shoppin for crack lol. Especially the neighborhood. "They build prisons cos of me!" Keeping crime at a "simmer" keeps public funds flowin

[@nkosnuttimccanyar1429]

What you gon smoke that, Nope you are 🤣🤣

[@bj1761]

Fun Fact: Eminem was intended to play the role of Jake Hoyt, but they decided to go in another direction. I believe this was for the best, as I can’t see Denzel having the drive to produce a performance like this without Ethan Hawke, who also garnered a supporting acting nomination for this. To me Denzel and Ethan truly brought out the best in one another. If Eminem would have played Jake, the director and Denzel would have been too busy trying doctor a performance out of him.

[@drizzya.c8262]

Eminem didnt take it because he was doing 8 mile

[@nolinpowe]

Ethan Hawke should've won for best supporting actor a lot of people down know this was a different role for him to at the time this movie came out

24:30 One of the most brutal asswhoopins in movie history 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Yomommasfavorite]

They call that neighborhood the Jungles because that’s where the Black P Stones hood is at. They actually were able to film in the neighborhood and use the people that live there as extras for those scenes.

[@301baby4l]

Fun fact .....The Jungle is a real Blood neighborhood , that is actual footage plus the director had to get permission to film there

[@WakingDreamer01]

I like how many reactors at the beginning of the film are all up in Jake's (Ethan Hawke's character) grill; like he's some noob and weak dude. But by the end of the film he proves IS the better man - compared to ALL the other "wolves" or "hero cops" and department officials.
