Honest Trailers Commentary - Unbreakable

[@fandomentertainment]

Are you excited for Glass? POOL RULES: One: Speak up and join the conversation- we encourage respectful debate. Two: Respect your community- racism, misogyny, homophobia and hate speech aren’t tolerated. Three: “Be nice.” - Dalton from Roadhouse

[@venkatasivaprasadvejendla6563]

Yes I am so much exited for Glass and please do honest trailer on predator 2018

[@Brook11223]

Yes also seeing the actor who plays David's son returning for Glass is great. He was also in Gladiator as the nephew of Proximo.

[@Brook11223]

Jon Bailey really cracks me up with all the honest trailer breakdown. He sounds like a younger Peter Cullen.

[@alejandrosemidey7197]

man... wish u guys would have used the footage of Patton Oswald pitching his sequel for unbreakable on screen junkies into this and show how spot on he was.

[@seth1422]

As nervous as I am excited. Shyamalan doesn’t seem to know why his movies are (or can be) good. Also, the premise of Unbreakable and Split _required_ the universe not be explained in too much detail. Glass won’t have that. It will be explaining the universe without this protective vagueness from the outset, and when Shyamalan does _detailed_ universe-building things tend to get very stupid very fast (cf. Lady in the Water, Happening, Wayward Pines, and so on).

[@wilhelm2451]

High point: The moment around 24:02 where all three clasp their hands together in front of themselves almost in unison.

Bruce Willis is actually half alien from signs that’s why he’s super strong and weak to water bam Shyamalned

[@Thehillsfamily2009]

Oh shit that makes sense lol

[@zoerobinson2122]

So happy you brought back the stares, it’s the best

[@Fawkes2574]

6:10 Its David, and he "mastered the art of standing so perfectly still, he becomes practically invisible."

[@beepopp7306]

I remember watching it and as it was playing out, I was like, "Heyyyy..... he's like a real life super hero....kinda?" I liked it. I hope Glass lives up to the hype and it doesn't collapse on itself.

[@Greaves1047]

Three geeks talking about a high school jock trying to lift weights is just... so much hidden comedic value in that

[@kellercorrield7733]

The video buffered as Bruce Willis stopped stopped talking and I just thought it was the longest pause between words ever

[@blacktigers98]

lmao i got an ad at that moment

[@Xperian13]

Buffered? What is this? 2007?

[@MrMe2459]

its crazy, my girlfriend hadn't seen this or split and we watched them both last night right before the honest trailer came out, and her reaction when with the twist of unbreakable actually kind of blew her mind, her reaction was honestly priceless, having seen both now she's gone from not knowing about any of these movies to really excited for glass

[@kstepko]

I agree with Spencer. His mother would realize her child never got sick and question why. As part of a football team, he would lift weights with them; teenage boys like to see who can lift the most. His spotter would probably keep on adding weight and discover he had no upper limit by accident.

[@Kris_AB]

Not all high schools had weight rooms when I was in high school from 1996 to 2000, so even LESS would have had them during the 60s or 70s when Bruce Willis' character was in high school (and in real life in the '60s & '70s). Also, going to the gym to get big (and/or to lose weight, I suppose) wasn't as widespread an activity amongst a greater number of dudes as it is nowadays (men weren't as into looking like the Hollywood ideal, their favourite athletes, or Greek gods, as they are nowadays because the pressure to look good was even moreso on women back then than it is now).

[@xsanguine8]

Touching people or things, and getting memories and feelings from them is called Psychometry.

[@mendellee]

i remember i saw this when it came out in the theater and *before* i watched Sixth Sense. I didn't know anything about MNS or about Sixth Sense, so when the twist happened, it was mindblowing to me. For a very long time this was my #2 favorite movie of all time (behind Memento). Watching it again recently in a world where twists like this are much more common, sure, the telegraphing is so obvious, but the movie still holds up imo, and beyond the nostalgia factor. Really looking forward to Glass, i have no idea what to expect.

[@BoyanDimitrov]

I caught Unbreakable on TV randomly without knowing what it is at all and fell in love with it. Didn't know it was Shyamalan's at the time but because of the way I experienced it it's definitely my favourite of his films. Or maybe it's just the best!

[@Brandon.S.Brooker]

Orange Man scene was just so awesome

[@scaryjeff]

All that fun prerecorded content over Christmas and now you're straight back with another great HT/HTC! What a hard working and talented team, thanks!

[@vincentjosephpanes8678]

I love it when you bring back the stare music.

[@jag519]

Dan's what no is my favorite impression from anything

[@Horror-Man]

The thing about David never noticing that he's never been hurt or sick makes complete sense in the context of the film's themes. A lot of us are completely unaware of our own potential until someone else points it out to us. It's not meant to make LITERAL sense. Also, Elijah and David have a very symbiotic hero-villain relationship. One could not exist without the other.

[@docleo2001]

6:07 He's so incredibly still, MCU connection confirmed!

[@zbennalley]

Please, let "Quiet Finger Bruce Willis" be the next "Alan Talking Raptor" in your honest trailer videos.

[@vincenthalfprice9930]

Quiet Finger Bruce Willis shoulda become a trope

[@EveryoneWhoUsesThisTV]

Psychometry... I think is the word you were looking for.. The superpower/psi-power where you touch things and learn their history etc

[@thorman2005]

I just rewatched UnBreakable a few months ago with someone who had never seen it.... we both loved it. I really think it holds up, especially in the age of Super Hero Movies. It's so different, with such a different tone. It's realistic and relatable. I really enjoyed the rewatch

[@MorsecodeZ]

Thank you Dan

[@zep909]

Only just got the 'STARE-ING' gag on the rewatch. >< Good HT, this one! I really liked Unbreakable when it came out too. :)

[@jeeyap1863]

I'm the kind of weirdo who hasn't watched Unbreakable or the Honest Trailer for Unbreakable, and yet is still here watching this video.

[@HermanFalckHow]

Spencer is my spirit animal.

[@kevinschultz6091]

Well done, Dan. Well done, indeed.

[@edwinwien4076]

Thank you for this Honest Trailer (plus the Commentaries of course). This got me more excited for Glass (even though I have no idea what the hell that movie's gonna be about). For me, Unbreakable is amongst my favorite superhero movies of all-time. It kind of got a bad rep since it came out right after the Sixth Sense, which quickly generalizes M Night Shyamalan as the "twist ending guy". In spite of all the flaws the movie had that you showed in the trailer (which I had a blast laughing about), this movie remains a fresh sight for sore eyes to see in regards to the sameness of superhero movies these days. It's refreshing that there's a superhero movie that dares defy the idea that genre HAS to always be big, large-scale, a CGI fest, and opted to be more grounded and more realistic.

[@1236547899874563211]

Was binge-rewatching honest traier commentaries. Saw 2 notifications and clicked on the one with the commentary! I'll get to you later honest trailer. Choice between Dan and no Dan is no choice at all.

[@Cobralalalala]

I love how young Joe always sounds like a surfer, despite the fact he's from the south. I guess he watched a lot of Ninja Turtles and Valley Girl. :)

[@zokontech]

Calcifer Boheme he’s from Kentucky, which isn’t super south, but you’re right, and I wouldn’t doubt that those were his influences.

[@Cobralalalala]

I don't know, some parts of Kentucky are ridiculously southern, plus you do here it slip with him sometimes. Just not when he describes himself as a kid.

[@Gunslinger199]

Unbreakable is amazing.

[@SeanNurse]

Thats the second Seinfeld impression I've heard today from a movie related youtube channel. And both made me giggle out loud.

[@pigmiwarriorentertainment274]

I'm guessing the 'OH MY GOD!' guy was in Split? I think you've told that story before but it's a good one I'd have liked to hear again. That was a really good Troll 2 impression from Spencer though.

[@ericmicke4130]

I saw this a few months ago for the first time and I really liked it. I was like "Why has nobody made me watch this until now?!" It's great. And a great break from today's superhero movies. Made me think how good Chronicle was for being an original idea for superhero stuff. I wish there were more original ideas with super people things.

[@cujogoodie1]

I remember watching this when it first came out. I thought I was kind of boring but decent enough. This makes me want to watch it again

[@dredyoung1]

So excited for Glass

[@DanielSolis]

Oh my god, that straight read of "My wife!" is hilarious!

[@jimmybambles]

Unpopular Opinion Alert: I like Unbreakable WAY more then The Sixth Sense

[@zacheryrodgers6983]

I think that is a pretty popular opinion these days dude.

[@b2manatees]

Because it's a superlative film.

[@MichaelCharles2011]

I used to feel the exact opposite. However, Unbreakable has aged so incredibly well in the 19 years since it came out. It is better now than it was when it came out, and it was already great. Whereas the sixth sense is still exactly as wonderful as it was when it came out.

[@Horrormaster13]

@Jamie Bass I share your opinion.

[@BushidoBrownSama]

Yeah Unbreakable over Sixth Sense any day.

[@DanielS2001]

6:09 - That's actually Bruce Willis as David Dunn. In this scene, David is with Joseph and Audrey comes in to let David know the babysitter had just arrived. Considering that this is after the gun scene, Audrey asks David if they should cancel, and Joseph tells them to go, and that he just got a little messed up and that he was better now.

[@parkay]

I hate myself for being an overexplainer (and the “well back when I was a high school football player), but... When David was in high school, they probably didn’t have a developed weight lifting program for athletes. Also, assuming he went to a high school in some Philly suburb, they probably weren’t super competitive and cut students from the team. So if he was a strong natural athlete and didn’t have injury issues his coaches most likely didn’t push him to really work on his strength or conditioning. Plus considering his mopey personality, I wouldn’t peg him as the type of jock who would be going to the weight room to show off to his bros how much weight he could stack on the bar.

[@MegiddoTheImmaculate]

It seems odd to me that nobody would compare their biggest lifts. Granted, I only went to one high school so I don't know what it was like other places but at least here, it was pretty common for the players to push each other. No coaches needed.

[@TheLanceUppercut]

@@MegiddoTheImmaculate They may have, but to the last point, David probably just didn't engage with it considering he's a mopey and disengaged sort of person. Maybe he just didn't give enough of a shit.

[@parkay]

I went to moderately sized suburban high school in the 90s. The more competitive athletes who were more familiar with how to lift were in the gym almost every day and pushed each other when they lifted. Others were more likely to stick with conditioning and other types of exercises. During the season, our formal workouts were only on the practice field after school. As long as we performed in practice and on game night, the coaches didn’t say anything about getting to the gym.

[@TheTitandog70]

Well...he probably lifted just to do the workout. Never did anything beyond what coaches told him to do. So he never did anything to explore max lift

[@moonknight4053]

He seems pretty relatable in the movie, I really liked it. He’s quiet, and his confidence shows; he would be the quarterback in H.S that would have the nerds back!

[@colettejames9754]

When I saw unbreakable. I had no idea it was supposed to be a superhero movie even after seeing it I was still not 100% clear on what I had watched. Just the way the whole time watching split I had NO clue until Bruce Willis was sitting there and then I was totally surprised and excited. So after seeing that ending I'm now super super excited to see glass! Cant wait!

[@BottomBunkArt]

The twist for glass is that it's actually a story being read and the movie is actually about Korra.

[@MagmAlex]

What a great film imo. Probably in my top 25 Superhero Movies of all time

[@projectgraham414]

Since the remake just dropped on Netflix recently, you guys really should do a trailer for the horror show that is Watership Down. Seriously, it would be amazeballs lol.

[@griffincheng]

it is also a film about relationships. love the long cam. better than six sense to me

[@drmattconrad77]

Spencer was cruel for teasing a far more insulting line about modern comic movie fans and not telling us. It’s the Honest Trailer version of “how do you drive an idiot crazy”. Seriously PM me the line please :)

[@vincenthalfprice9930]

Did you ever get an answer? This has always piqued my curiosity

[@drmattconrad77]

@@vincenthalfprice9930 Unfortunately I never found out.

[@mjw1111]

Please, please, please do the Unbreakaverse. Also, I really liked Unbreakable and Lady in the Water. Because I read books. They were very much mainstream fantasy tropes. Also, from Philly so I recognize the locations.

The psychic touch thing is called psychometry I believe. You read the history of objects you touch.

[@Machtyn]

I really, really liked Unbreakable and could see the world building in it and really wanted more because it seemed like the opening of a larger story. Of course, since I don't keep up with industry stuff, I didn't really know I wasn't supposed to know that it was a comic book movie. To me, that bit of information was nicely revealed throughout the movie. Also, I didn't know Split was supposed to be a sequel. Now I'll have to go watch that, since I've never seen it.

[@brianahicks4805]

I’m learning that there are two types of people. Those that think that summer camp is fun and those who will go through any lengths to avoid going to summer camp. Me- I faked debilitating allergies for months to avoid summer camp.

[@Tr1ple-A]

Honestly the best superhero film ever its a masterpiece

[@Jayk129]

The twist will be that James McAvoy is Bruce Willis’ kid from Unbreakable. Just a guess.

[@stevejolly8231]

The twist in glass is that it's just a gender swapped sucker punch, and the reveal is half way through the final epic fight it just smash cuts to an elderly Bruce Willis and skinny James mcevoy having a slap fight in the hospital lunch room with Sam Jackson giggling and clapping as he watches

😂😂😂😂😂

[@brycelloyd3592]

I thought the common assumption of Glass' "twist" was that there will be a second hero figure that balances out McAvoy's villain figure. I've seen the idea of the doctor lady being this potential hero be floated around.

[@annieyoulittlewhore]

As someone who watch this movie recently, last year, I know what was coming and yes it did burn slow. Overall, though I was intrigued and looking forward to Glass.

[@GitShiddy]

This is my favourite Superhero movie & Glass is my Infinity War/Endgame. Also this contains one of my favourite ridiculous line read in film that only works because of Robin Wright which was "No shooting friends, Joseph" (paraphrased?)

[@crankysquirrel9067]

Best scene from this flick. Deleted scene with Willis crying in the shower.

[@Some_Guy_In_Ohio]

The power name you're forgetting is "Retrocognition." Speaking of deleted scenes... There is a very good deleted scene of Willis's character talking to a priest early in the movie. It's a VERY good scene... that would have COMPLETELY given away the twist, and is probably why it was cut. RE: Dark Phoenix. I've got a quarter bet that it goes Netflix\streaming\direct-to-DvD. Oh, and the line about "comic book fans" was probably originally about Star Wars fans :)

Still advocating for a final scene that connects this universe with 6th Sense. We end up meeting this young detective or PI that solves crimes with the help of the dead.

[@AHulbertArtist]

What if the twist for Glass is that there will be no twist. Story is wrapped up, everything concluded. He sets you for an after-credits but then nothing. You get Shyamalaned.

I doubt Willis has a choice about doing promotion for a movie he the star of, they write it in the contract for the movie.

[@limitedexperience492]

Which almost certainly plays into the grumpiness. If he doesn't do it, he doesn't get paid A LOT of money, so it really is Work that he'd rather not be doing but that he has to do or else

[@jamesbunt6846]

​@@limitedexperience492 Agreed with everything except him not being paid a LOT of money. He's known to demand a million dollars a day (seems to be shooting days). Which I suspect explains his last 10 years of movies, there is a lot of no-named paycheque movies to the ones anyone would have heard of (like Looper).

[@martas.8780]

Probably something about fandoms. My bet is on Star Wars fans

[@cheekyboomboom8973]

My guess is it was originally "modern day DC comics fans" but then it was watered down to broadly include all comics fans so as to not make DC fans get mad about the joke, lol. But Star Wars fits too if comics aren't necessary for the analogy.

[@LadyGagadriel]

Agreed! Maybe it was about Episode VIII since lately they are bringing that back few times a a joke...

They filmed the comic book scenes at a real shop within walking distance from my house. I swear, it looks better in the movie than it ever does in real life. It's the only shop it down, but it's a disorganized mess.

Re: Press Junkets. Why the hell don't they just invite all of the media all at the same time to a press panel, something closer to a "Hall H" and get all of the reactions and questions done in a four hour window instead of having to suffer through the same 20 questions repeatedly from every outlet?

[@DSzaks]

Spoiler Warning for Glass - Here is the twist. The entire trilogy in an allegory for M.N.S. life/career (as he sees it). Bruce Willis/Unbreakable is M Night. Glass is the Media. And The Beast is the public/fans. In the end of the movie Glass will succeed in using the beast to utterly destroy Unbreakable. AKA The evil critics/media successfully turn the public/fans against M.Night, the hero and one truly unique and special human on the planet - with their manipulative lies thus unjustly destroying his life/career (post everything he did after 6th sense).

[@TheTitandog70]

I always thought reason he was sad and marriage was falling apart because deep down he resented his wife. He gave up dream, use of his abilities for her. His hate for making that choice creep into his marriage.

[@NiC0L317]

The twist that I’m expecting from glass is that Samuel Jackson and James mcavoy are working together throughout the whole movie only for it to be revealed that Samuel’s character was the one who caused James’s father to die In the train crash in Unbreakable. I feel like that’s too obvious a twist to go with though

[@Kris_AB]

I must've missed that in Split (re-watched it last week after Unbreakable). I thought the only detail we knew for sure was that Kevin Crumb's father left him (probably due to the batshit, abusive mother, though shame he didn't take Kevin with him...maybe the mom had D.I.D. the same as Kevin) on a train. Not that the father died on a train. Did the movie say that ? Sure, flowers are left on the train platform in Split (which could be just as much about saying goodbye to Kevin's father and his old life as it is an offering to and welcoming of The Beast, which lives around the train tracks in Kevin's subconscious, according to what he [or Patricia and/or Dennis] told the therapist in Split).

I disagree that there's no longer any mystique in hollywood. Maybe not with the most A-list current celebrities, but the fact that we still have NO idea where the frack Tommy Wiseau's money came from, nor how old he is or where he's from (other than new Orleans) gives me hope. :P
