I've loved seeing Gui moving from the middle of the couch to the side! The middle is for guests, the side is for permanent hosts!

[@Ra-Phael]

The side .... is for family - Dom Toretto

[@krystiankrysti1396]

dood, its cause theres usually 3 people, your theory is probably created on the toilet, hes also stuntman so its obvious hes gonna be there

[@KaladinVegapunk]

Haha i mean when this guy's on, hes the only one thats going to be talking haha, niko and gui are just there to fill out the couch, but yet its always good stuff haha. this guys always got great stories. I hope gui does come on every stuntman episode though, he's definitely earned it

I appreciate J.J.'s candor regarding the quality of late 90s TV. He's a great guest.

[@euansmith3699]

Yeah, I've never really thought about how much work must have gone into all those Jeep Flips from the A-Team.

J.J. is a great storyteller, funny, and knowledgeable. It's a real joy to have him back on the show, and I hope you guys can get him again some time. Thanks, J.J.!

[@tylerc161]

He's my favorite on these reacts for sure

[@stephenmoney4722]

it was especially nice to see episode 39. He was kind of shy in the beginning and really came outta his shell. It was great

[@ItsFreakinHarding.]

"Chubb Zero" had me in tears! And always a pleasure to see Gui on the couch, you guys might as well just make him part of the Crew he hosts so much now!

[@cjmonocle2797]

He is part of the crew, he also is busier with his other job than most of the regular crew, so we don't get to see him as much.

[@DubbleTee]

Yes! That was so damn funny. I could watch these three guys on the couch talking about stunts ALL DAY.

[@j.columbus9240]

We can tell JJ is having a great time on that couch, he's very passionate about his work. Appreciated.

[@gregdavidl647]

He seems like a very cool guy

[@Mrryn]

He kinda reminds me of the older John Kreese from Cobra Kai if he was super chill and well-adjusted socially.

[@billbill6094]

I love how the three gun training he took Keanu to not only changed up his stance to make him look more fluid, but that the extra fluidity helped ease the transition into hand to hand combat. The gun-jitsu could be upped because it looked more natural for him to have opportunities to throw a guy or need to make distance to get to his weapon. And John Wick always purveying for threats while _Keanu Reeves_ knew where the threats would be gives the effect of this inhumanly good assassin, not omnipotent but placing shots on threats more effectively than anybody could.

[@j0hn00]

It always amazes me when I re-realize that Keanu does _all_ of his own stunts besides the car wrecks. The dude is almost 60 and still throwing down this hard?? And the way he loves to go through all the training. He's always grinning ear to ear in the behind the scenes. He's so cool lmao

[@lemmingrad]

Lately, I had people using Keanu as argument for training gun safety into actors. Now watching this video, and how this specific prop gun works, now I know it’s less teaching Keanu about guns, but getting him practicing the motions so he looks natural using them quickly.

[@cenciende9401]

It can even be explained in-universe as being out of practice since he was retired, the first movie was warming back up.

[@simplylethul]

John wick would have been dead in the first film, the fact that there's 4 movies is hilarious.

[@billbill6094]

@@simplylethul The amount of people who care for your opinion of what's realistic or hilarious is less than the number of John Wick movies. It's an action movie series, you got action, if it offends you don't watch.

[@rockaholictom]

Gui and J.J both yelling ARMOR OF GOOOOOD!! Was so hype 😂😂

[@lowercasesteve]

This is a trio who’s energy together works really well. I dig everyone. I mean no disrespect to anyone. Gui and Niko are great together and JJ’s just got a real ass all hell vibe that’s entertaining as all hell. I really dig the episodes with the old heads who’ve got a way with words.

[@richardburgos3089]

As a stuntman myself, I respect all who put their lives on the line for cinema. 🥋🥋🥋

[@s70driver2005]

Awesome. What roles have you doubled for?

[@Treebsquire]

Would be great for Gui to get a role in Night Shift 2. Having him as a vampire and fighting Adkins would be truly epic.

[@SarcasticPlotRecaps]

I dont think that will realistically happen anytime soon given Jamie Fox's current condittion...no matter what JJ says.

[@tylernichols9650]

Love seeing Jackie Chan stuff! Can we get a whole episode of just Jackie Chan movies!? It would be even better with Jackie on the show!

[@Droptima15]

Getting Jackie on the show would be like the holy grail episode

[@ThatShyGuyMatt]

From what I understand, Jackie left back for China long ago and hasn't really been back to do much as he hates how we film things here. That said, it still would be great to see him on here.

[@TimTE01]

@@ThatShyGuyMattIt’s slightly more complicated than that, what with geography, politics and their control of his assets.

[@AngryLink]

@@TimTE01 I wonder if it would be easier/feasible for Corridor to send a couple guys over to China instead and do a few episodes over there with renowned Chinese artists.

[@koreancowboy42]

​@@ThatShyGuyMatt can't blame him for hating how we film things here in the west. But he sure as hell made Rush hour enjoyable xD

[@andrebrynkus2055]

Great episode. I especially like that you let JJ get serious and break down the realities of stunt coordination. It may seem like fun and games but it's a serious job.

[@mung01re]

Jackie’s work ethic, even today as old as he is, is unreal.

[@whynotanyting]

I love how knowledgeable and straight forward J.J. is. Don't know if that's from army training, but I wish more people had that directness.

[@thorthor2844]

Have you ever tried getting Zoe Belle to make an appearance on your couch? Or any of the stuntwomen who worked on Buffy? That would be tremendous. This video, an amazing watch, thank you.

[@DrAmazing]

I loved those Mortal Kombat movies so much. First one is just a legit good martial arts movie. The second one is just amazing for how fast they manage to cycle 20 characters in and out of the movie while trying to keep a somewhat coherent plot.

[@aphelion4616]

I love MK2 (movie) for the fact it's camp. The issue the movie had was they tried to much the plots for the second and third game in to the movie where they should've kept to the trilogy as is. The fights and stunts were amazeballs though and that Johnny and Scorpion fight still remains a top 3 favorite fight of all time for me for multiple reasons!!

[@RoBinUniverse]

I want to take this opportunity to greet niko,sam and all of the fathers in corridor a Happy Father's Day

[@SilentBob731]

Another Saturday, another awesome vid. The Stuntmen React series is definitely my favourite of the bunch. The fact that there still isn't a major awards show category for these guys and gals is a travesty.

[@Jimunu]

The executives get worried if too many workers get spotlight.

[@Wontohn]

@@Jimunu That's just not true at all

[@Jimunu]

@@Wontohn okay, they're cheap and don't want to pay for it then.

[@morganseppy5180]

Those shows are put on by the guilds. The stunmen need to make their own shows. In a way, that's what corrider crew is trying to do with this series.

[@kingleech16]

The only thing I’d worry about is if it got stunt guys to start taking bad risks just so they can get the award.

[@cineast67]

The talk about the plugged barrels is fascinating. There have only been a few fatal injuries in cinema, and there are mostly firearm related. On a similar note, you should get some pyro guys on the show and see what they talk about. I'm sure there are some crazy stories.

[@Scarethelocals]

One of my best friends is a pyro/explosives expert and stunt coordinator. He's done Marvel, F&F, Walking Dead, Zombieland, and several other productions that are shot here in Atlanta. His name is Skip and he has the absolute best stories and scars lol.

[@Bob-jn8jt]

This dude is super humble. Love him bring him back every week!

[@ehcmier]

Loved how he approached things with Keanu! Really great.

[@MightyShakaZulu]

JJ is so fun to listen to! This is another great power trio for the couch. Please have him on more often guys!

[@meg2186]

I love him - funny, self-deprecating, confident, charming, knowledgeable as hell, and he's clearly having fun with you guys. Great episode as always.

[@FunkyBukkyo]

Skill speaks for itself. JJ has proven himself over the years. He deserves his praise

[@Relyx]

Probably went unnoticed by most, but I really appreciate you guys using a clip from InCamera when talking about the squibs. They really do feel like the other side of the VFX coin to Corridor, focusing on practical over digital. They deserve way more love on KZbin, and I hope one day we even see a collab!

[@mrkurto]

JJ and Gui are my favourite combo for stuntmen react. Hands down

[@nekokna]

Finding more about the real world of stunters makes me so happy for some reason,dunno why,same with the people that makes special effects

[@mrt5069]

JJ has charisma for days! Hope to see him more. Such a nice dude!)))

[@Zikar]

The first Mortal Kombat had some great fight scenes, and Johnny Cage vs Scorpion is one of the best.

[@chris_cookies]

I'd love to see a stuntwomen react to Gunpowder Milkshake. It has an awesome car scene that has some unique flares to it. the Bowling alley and hospital fight scenes are also just as creative in terms of both concept and choreography

[@vader567]

Man JJ is so natural in front of a camera. A born entertainer. Usually people behind the scenes aren’t as much as entertaining as him. Its as if he has been an youtuber since forever.

[@DadNerdOaf]

Niko and Gui just sitting back letting JJ tell his stories. Fantastic episode. JJ just seems like a great dude.

[@gutz1981]

Still no mention of that great stunt from "Looker" where the stunt woman practically naked dropping from height onto the roof of a car, seeing it all crumple on impact and then rolling off from the roof onto the road.

[@demzre]

You guys need to bring on the stunt coordinator and director for Extraction 2. That oner was incredible!

[@atmadja19]

If I were interested in becoming a stunt coordinator, I would really appreciate JJ’s perspective on the realities and the responsibility of the work. Really great stuff.

[@JeetKuneOWNED]

JJ is a treasure. This was legitimately one of the best entries of this series.

[@MrMice...]

Best stunt react yet. Thorough. The history and technical info was well balanced 👌

[@_muaimin_]

Hey, you guys should do a react to "Mollywood/Bollywood" Movies like "2018", "Minnal Murali", "Thallumaala" etc.

[@JokerInk-CustomBuilds]

Man... the brilliance to put Keanu through theese drills and Keanus abillity to just take it in and look effortless... What a freaking treat for us! Thank you!!!

[@hazonku]

I grew up watching a LOT of Hong Kong cinema and JJ's work and even as a kid I would always catch the little homages to Jackie, John Woo, Sammo, and others. I could listen to JJ talking about stuff he's worked on or just stuff he admires all day long & never get bored.

[@deathcold_longplaysua4846]

YES! Love J.J. Love him as Sub-Zero from MK Conquest. He did an amazing job. You guys should bring him more to your show.

[@_grigoryta]

I don't think John Wick 1 featured a lot of isosceles. It was mostly Center Axis Relock. That's why it was so memorable. There sure were moments where he shot with isosceles stance but it was due to framing of the shot

[@BeefForLess]

I appreciate how brutally honest J.J. was about the reality of being a stunt coordinator. I didn't expect it, but it was very informative, direct and serious.

[@spdcrzy]

Chad is SUCH a beast. Legit fighter, legit stuntman, legit director, and absolute badass.

[@morganseppy5180]

And still humble. What a great person

[@cenciende9401]

Wtf why would you call him a loser (chad)? You aren't fit to lick that legend's feet

[@mikibish]

You've got to have a look at the good and bad effects of Mortal Kombat, Goro in particular is really impressive.

[@360.Tapestry]

[@manulj1455]

J.J. has incredible stroytelling ability, would love to see him again

[@DivinePonies]

Could watch like 2 hour of every single episode. Just amazing to listen to these guys talk about all the details of the job and anecdotes and stories around all the stunts/scenes.

[@huangjun_art]

I would love to see stunt guys react to the out-of-uniform fight scenes from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. They had some of the best fights ever on TV. Unfortunately JDF is no longer with us, he would've been an awesome guest on the show.

[@vicmartinez4502]

should get the Bat in the Sun directors to get on the couch

Once again he kills it. This guy always brings it, always makes it fun and even educational.

[@JYD2020]

Every guest just always brings the vibe up and is just so passionate to talk about their work and others works

[@Kryxys]

I've never had a "broken" rib, but I have fractured one before. I can say from experience that was one of the most painful experiences of my life. I had something else he didn't mention, extreme nausea. So I couldn't imagine keeping it together after a fully broken rib. I guess that's why I'm not a stunt man. :D

[@heyisleo]

You've had some really cool guests but hands down this isthe coolest guy since I've been watching. Loved that dude!! Hope he comes back again and congrats to all of you and Gee for having him.

[@demonspeeding9136]

The best guest for stunts imo. Love when JJ is on the couch. I can't get enough of the visual/stuntment reacts.

[@lukethelazymachine3687]

This guy is so intense and just talks through the whole show, and I love it. The show could just be him from now on and I'd watch

[@jake8473]

For the next Stuntmen React, you guys should take a look at The Sweeper (1991). Some absolute madness in that one.

[@crescentlive1]

It would be a dream to have Jackie Chan as a guest. Can you guys make that happen? Pretty please?

[@innocuousalias6632]

I don't think he visits the west much anymore. Back when he was making and promoting movies out here I bet it would have been easy to hook it up.

No one will understand a word of what he says anyway

[@Zlist1994]

@@qcenaman lol chris tucker said it best in the rush hour movies XD but nah i would still listen to him speak about his career, even if he might not have spoken English in a while and it might be hard to understand him. He can just speak chinese and have a translator sit with them or just have subtitles added. They've already had on one of his old stunt crew members so maybe he can come back and do it with him. Either way I'm very interested to know what he has to say, so I hope one day they get him on.

[@jeroenmaes6659]

SUGGESTION: for the next stuntmen react you guys should really take a look (if you haven't already) at Forbidden Kingdom, ft. Jackie Chan and Jet Li. The movie is an absolute testament to martial arts, stunts and wirework combined

[@Czarborough]

This was incredible. I loved this guest! You can tell this man spent time in the military for sure, even with a great sense of humor.

[@amer4sa]

[@LastCavemanAlive]

Not first, Niko if you read this please do horror videos, like actual scary movies.

[@brennonbrunet6330]

Props to J. J. For being such a chill couch member.

[@UndertakerNeverDies]

Since he briefly mentioned it fighting against the guy who would work Power Rangers I would love to see you guys react to that series. It’s just fascinating to me for there to be more of a magnifying glass on the stunts they did at least when they shot original footage and not reusing Super Sentai footage.

[@frost-4998]

Great video - so sad to hear him make the point that stunt coordinators get hired basically as scapegoats. Already an under appreciated job.

[@rosecity_chris]

Jackies old movies deserve so much more credit than they get. Used to love watching movies like Drunken Master back in the day.

[@firejaw6459]

J.J.’s far too humble, man, this was one of the best episodes ever, I could listen to this dude talk shop all day.

[@_Caddac]

Bulletproof Monk has some really interesting stunt scenes, even if it's edited poorly.

[@bendingsands87]

Another great one! I'd love to see you guys delve into the world of movie guns and their mechanics and the different methods of getting effective gun scenes. I guess it would be more of a special effect episode, but I'd bet the stunt work could come in to you guys maybe recreating some iconic gun scenes. Also, I think if you guys were ever looking for something new to do, a series on reviewing popular film scenes with writers (Film Writers React??) could be super interesting. Given the ongoing issues with writers in Hollywood today, it'd be really interesting to get their view.

[@TimedRevolver]

The best thing about improving on the choreo and stunts in the John Wick films is how it actually fits in with the story. In the first movie, he's out of practice from retirement, so Keanu's more robotic moves make sense for a guy who canonically lost a step or two. Then, as the movies continue, you see him shaking the rust off and getting back to that fabled assassin he once was.

[@chirpbirds924]

It's nice to see and hear from him. I watched all of those Mk films several times and even the tv series a couple of times. I looked him up once briefly, I never knew he was soo busy with things.

[@josephmasse2480]

You guys should react to the episode where Steve Urkle becomes Bruce Lee. Not the coolest stunt, but a good episode to show stunt fighting done by a non-typical actor.

[@believeinmatter]

Has JJ been on the show before? He was hilarious, and definitely needs to come back on for more episodes 🤙

[@reaperofburgers]

He was on the last one, which I think was his first time on the show.

[@jbcool]

when they have a guest they usually film 2 episodes in one sitting, this was the second episode.

[@shadinz]

This video went by so fast... I especially love those Stuntmen react. So entertaining, much respect to those guys in the industry.

[@dallinorr6929]

"Jackie Chan probably doesn't get the credit he deserves." Hilarious... and probably true. Just shows how much of a legend he is.

[@4Everlast]

Speaking of Jackie being underappreciated, the MF can act, he's far from a one trick pony.

[@DrProfessorMD]

J.J. is back!

[@sushikebabguy4579]

JJ is an absolute treat! Thank you for having him on and letting us listen to his amazing stories.

[@TrevorHaldane]

I'd love to see you guys take a look at some of the insanely massive battle scenes in 1960's soviet movies. The battle of Borodino in War and Peace (1967) or the cavalry charges in Waterloo (1970) are stunts at a mind-bending scale. Thousands of extras, horses, canons and smoke. I can't even imagine how they coordinated it all.

[@jimmygee9189]

If you haven't already, would love to see you guys react to the tank scene in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Specifically the bit where Indy jumps from his horse onto the tank. (if you've already reacted to it then I guess I'll go find that clip haha)

[@Fen_Fox]

I’m like, 75% sure they covered that scene already, cannot for the life of me remember which episode it was in though 😂
