One important thing we learned from this movie, if ever you find a case of money, take the money out, check for tracking device and put in another case.
Absolutely. Walk a mile or 2 to distance yourself and then check it
Exactly. He didn't even count it like a normal person would. If he had, this story would have been really short and really boring.
Also , never go back to the crime scene ..
And just leave this country or at least move to another states quickly
Copy that, bro
"Engage an antelope." This dude is tactical af.
lol.
Double taps the antelope then combat glide up to it at the high ready shouting something in Farsi, proceeds to zip tie the dead carcass and radios for immediate extraction. Friend pulls up in the pickup thinking "what the fu..."
Lived in the Sonoran desert for a lot of years. Not going anywhere without a gallon of water.
I've visited AZ and UT a couple of times, I concur. Not even a canteen on him.
I'm with you on that but I'm of the gal plus. Two things I have never cut back on having water and ammo. I've been out of water in more times than I want to remember, in 3 different deserts.
@@MongooseTacticool Especially taking into consideration Llewelyn Moss is a Vietnam veteran and should know about hydration
@Brian W I never had too much water in the desert. If we were camping we took the water buffalo.
Grew up in the Sonoran desert... if you know the area, you know where cattle tanks and different wells are to get good clean water. We never carried it hunting as kids, but made plenty of water stops along the way
Difference between visiting a desert and it being your desert.
In the book, the rifle Llewelyn uses to hunt Pronghorn is a "heavy barreled .270 on a '98 Mauser action with a laminated stock of maple and walnut with a Unertl telescopic sight 10x
Also from the book "The rifle had a Canjar trigger, set to 9 ounces", and "Even with the heavy barrel and the muzzle break, the rifle bucked up off the rest"
I hope Larry sees this and brings it up in the next vis
Sounds like the author knew his rifle
I've never read the book, though I keep meaning to and then forget. In what year do the events in it occur?
@@MrEazyE357 1980 like in the movie
If you haven’t seen it yet Hell or High Water is also a phenomenal neo-western.
I agree, it was fantastic!
Great movie
Love the gas station scene
Excellent movie.
Yep it is a Good Movie . I walked Down to the Cinema and enjoyed it on the Big Screen .
Larry, what’s the most you’ve ever lost on a coin toss?
Excuse me?
Tanner Matheson The most.. You’ve ever lost.. On a coin toss.
I don’t know, I can’t say..
@@adamarens3520 *flips coin*
call it
Adam Arens Call it...
The hunting rifle was a custom job in the book
True!
McCarthy loves those guns
And in .270, if my memory serves me right.
@@BobcatSchneidermann It was. The author said it was a mauser action chambered in .270.
And he was a sniper in Vietnam.
"Engage an antelope" 🤣I don't think Mr. Vickers hunts.
He does. At least he did. But his game was men.
@@mehicanbls1526 Touché!
Flash Flash Flash. Contact. Antelope in the open. SALUTE follows. S: Pack of 50 ungulates. A: Chawing grass and shrub L: In the open U: Antelope T: time is... E: Bearing furs. request engagement.
He hunts but his prey uses guns
Andrew the antelope SALUTE made my day, thanks
The lack of music, heightening ambiance, the simplification and brutality of the combat and wounds, and the backdrop of the quiet west/desert/small towns being occupied by an unrelenting death bringer during a cat and mouse game just hits right and leaves you a bit haunted. I agree, you need to watch it a few times to appreciate the tone and “quiet violence” it has
Wow, we need you to do movie reviews. You're good at summarizing things without losing the substance.
Next up. Larry Vickers reviews Lion King 1994.
Dude, that'd be entertaining!
I need that in my life!
If Simba had been in overwatch with a SAW he could have caught the stampede in a bottleneck and saved Mufasa.
Larry: Now Scar's mistake wasn't killing Simba right there and then. He's vulnerable, no witnesses, one swift bite to the neck and boom. No more Simba.
@Jacob Bauer Mufasa is really the one to blame he should have had a security detail and a team of snipers watching him and his son at all times. Peace grows complacency.
This movie came out very soon after I left active duty after my 2nd tour in Iraq. I very much identified with Llewelyn Moss. I became a fan of Cormac McCarthy after watching this movie, and he is one of my favorite authors to this day. I'm glad you enjoy it too, Larry.
I just finished The Crossing. Maybe not one of McCarthy's most popular but damn it really hit me hard. Beautiful story if you haven't read that one yet check it out.
Him sitting and looking at the watch is one of my favorite cinematic scenes. It tells you time has passed and what type of guy he is
Movie was filmed here in Albuquerque and so was sicario 1-2 man new mexico is churning out some badass movies
I really wish the Sicario films had been made by the Cohen brothers but I am happy with both films. Dennis definitely should have come back for the second film though
Not to mention Breaking Bad
So were parts of Lone Survivor. In one of the heli scenes they are clearly flying along the front of the Sandias, and much of the shoot out was filmed in and around Santa fe ski area!
Better Call Saul too
Earliest I've been to a Larry Vickers video.
If you ever see this Larry, thank you for all of your effort and sharing your knowledge and life.
^this
Honestly, I think this movie was one of Tommy Lee Jones' best performances. The very slow pace and extensive use of silence really puts pressure on actors to use significant attention to detail in their acting
Agreed
@@justinhedrick2906 HEAT is an amazing movie, the acting is on point
Would love to see you cover more military movies like Black Hawk Down and Lone Survivor.
People seriously giving this a "thumbs down"? I think Larry has some exes that follow this channel.
Underfolder on safety is why he is dead. If we need a reason to explain this.
I figured that too.
Look at all the shell casings in front of him, clearly shows he was actively shooting during the gun fight. Larry is right, it was a movie mistake.
@@Dozer6001 if it was an AK the shell casings would be in the next zip code, not lying at his feet. I would guess those shell casings are probably from someone else
I thought the same. He could have been the first dude popped. I don't know how safety disciplined cartel guys were in 1980 but I could give him the benefit of the doubt and say he didn't get the chance to flip it down.
Brass would be everywhere on the deck. Dudes maneuvering and shooting would get brass flung everywhere. When the Sheriff investigates the scene he finds multiple pistol calibers in a single pile. It's possible that the movie didn't think through the props and set up but I also think it's easily explainable with some imagination and observation.
@@Spike-13 You are reaching pretty far to justify a movie mistake buddy. Why? OK, how do you know he wasn't 10 feet camera right before he died and collapsed in front of his spent cartridges, I mean people moving during a gun fight is common so.. Did you ever hear the saying "The simplest explanation is usually the correct explanation". Larry is right, it is most likely a rubber prop gun that was molded in the safe position.
I also noticed he kept his wrist watch in his pocket. I’m guess so he didn’t cast a glare in the desert sun while hunting. Nice little attention to detail.
For the people that don't get this movie or understand it.. watch the ballad of Buster Scruggs..a group of short stories directed by the same people that did this one...it will really leave you scratching your head. Pretty good group of stories though..just as long as you get past the first story. It's kinda meant to be funny I think. Anxiously waiting for part 2 on this one! Thanks for everything you do LAV! ✌️
One of the best movies of all time, takes a few times of watching it to really understand how good it really is.
It's amazing how larry spots all this stuff, as in errors, us amateurs simply ignore or don't recognize.
The AK on safe didn’t bother me as much being that who knows how the shoot out happened and that guy could have been hit first or because the stock was folded, struggled to get the gun into the fights once the shooting started, and in turn was killed
Who shows up to a drug deal with their gun in safe tho?
Someone who doesn't want to shoot himself in the leg
Spot on about the 80s gun market. I think Bill Ruger said: "no honest man needs more than 10 rnds."
bill ruger never said that. the person youre misqouting is actually reagan
He didn't know what 2020 was going to be like
Saying it's easy to get misoriented in the desert is an understatement.
As a teen, a buddy and I cut through a desert gulf between two North Vegas housing developments to get on a nature trial which lead to mutual friend's very hoity suburb.
I did the mountain biker thing and went up a hill to get my bearings, using the terrain and rooftops as a reference. But somehow got distracted, and lead my buddy back down the wrong side of the the hill.
We spent hours trying to find a trail that should have taken minutes to get on.
That's genuinely terrifying
Bruh just look north at the mountain
Almost made me spit out my toast when he said he's a "classic boomer".
Did your toast have avocado on it?
Pro tip when dealing with large amounts of cash like in the movie. Ditch the case at your 1st available convenience and go through every stack to shake down for radio beacons or tracking devices.
Right!!!
@Madmartigan The Greatest Swordsman That Ever Lived Would you? Out in the desert. Any witnesses are dead. No one in sight for miles...you'd take the money
Also, don't forget to check every bill for sequential numbers and if the bills are actually real. Don't mind if you had to destroy a few to test them
What I would have done is take like, the top row and give the rest of it to my friendly neighborhood sheriff. Or just given the entire thing to the local law enforcement. Why? Because at some point, someone is going to come looking for that money and I'm going to want them to be talking to the police and not to me.
@Madmartigan The Greatest Swordsman That Ever Lived Uh HUH
This movie is one of the most faithful book adaptations ever
Man, this is one fella you do not wanna be on the wrong side of. God bless you, sir, I admire you and your extreme attentiveness and ability to break these things down to a non-familiar guy. Awesome video.
I’m a simple man, Larry talks about movies- I click.
Would love to see, Mr. Vickers dissection, of "The Outpost". Of special interest, (his detailing of) the SF "support rescue"...near the end, of the film. I feel like there was much to this end, of the story...that the film, just didn't have any space, left to tell. We always enjoy the ATM series, and Larry always brings it! Thank you, for what you do.
Wow. Even Larry’s reading glasses is tactical.
Great movie, when it on TV I'll watch it from any point in the movie till the end
It really is a great movie.
Love this guy! Whatever oopsies or inaccuracies he finds in films, he feels educational in his dissection rather than critical. His personal preference isn't shoved in your face and you feel genuinely interested in what he has to say. Good stuff, Larry!
Thanks
I had exact same reaction first time I watched it I thought it was bad especially the ending lol. But you watch it more and more and it grows on you.
Damn, I’ve never watched the movie and you stopped in a good part so now I’m gonna have to watch the movie before the end of the day. lol
Almost certainly the SP89 was supposed to stand-in for an MP5k, they just didn't go the extra mile and swap out the forend.
Damn I need part 2 and 3 and 4 ASAFP!!!!! This is one of my top favorite movies; watch it all the time. Only music in the entire movie plays when he flips the quarter in the gas station. Phenomenal film.
He was following a track in and had to follow it back out. His rifle and binos are going to be along the track.
That was a short part 1.... that’s just the opening scene of the movie. This will need 4 or 5 parts if in this format
Problem?
steelersfan was just saying the saving private Ryan was only 2 episodes. He’s got a lot to cover in episode 2 if it’s only going to be 2 parts.
Please cover “Act of Valor”.
Hey could you do a Larry at the movies for band of brothers?
I love reviews from people with qualified knowledge & experience. Goes a long way in trusting their viewpoint. Cant wait for the second part, please dont torture us in waiting too long for part 2. This is on my favorite movie list as well as other movies you reviewed. Thank you for the video Vickers. 🤙
The way you described not getting the movie at first and liking it more and more with each rewatch is exactly how I feel about the film. There are so many small details that you miss on first viewings and then notice on subsequent viewings. It's an easy top 5 for me.
This should be good!
What a great content idea Larry. And the best one so far....one of my favorite movies next to Heat and Collateral.
My favourite TH-cam serie.
I’ve been waiting for this one for a long time!
Holy Cow! Sunday just became Funday!!! Looking forward to this one friends!
Larry should direct films, he has excellent attention to detail.
this is why we strive..no matter what
Thumbs up before I even watch.
Larry Vickers and Anton Chugar.
I felt the same way about this movie and the Hurt Locker the first time I saw them, but both have grown on me to become outstanding movies the more I watched them.
You nailed it, that’s exactly what I thought at first, too. After my first viewing (particularly the ending), I was wondering, “What is everyone ranting about?”
After multiple viewings, I appreciate it for what it is--a Coen Brothers’ masterpiece!
MORE LARRY AT THE MOVIES PLEASE!!!!
We need more of these!!!
I love that Gun from the new Jurassic park, not so new, but newest one, the satin nickel bolt action. Man that rifle is beautiful. Something you take out to just enjoy the Beauty.
one of my favorite movies. Very unique story. Super well done acting from Jabier Bardem. Roger Deakins's cinematography is beautiful and on point. The sound design is also outstanding, and I would say much of the tension was built up mostly with the silence.
This is crazy! Just watched this last night and thought it would be cool if Larry reviewed it.
Nice! The Josh Brolin trilogy is complete.
1911s are very popular in mexico. The ranchers always carried those. Chalino sanchez a famous mexican corridor singer often carried one. But later he was murdered by a cartel
Felt the same initially, has grown more on me every time I see it
7:13 the "Fudds" 😅
Yes, thank you!! I was thinking thats interesting, I wonder why?
@@MrJeepmarine I was very much into firearms at that time I was about 24 in 1980 and did not care for the tactical type firearm. Because they were expensive and ugly to me a Ruger mini 14 was as tactical as it got for me at that time . Still not a big fan but I can stomach some of it for defending the castle and the country.
I gotta watch this movie again.
Love These At The Movies Segments 😀😊😀 Thanks Larry Great Work 😀😊
Absolutely fascinating. Better than actually watching the movie
Larry will be 1 milli by December.
This guy scared me more then any character in any horror film.
More Larry at the Movies!!
Phased plasma rifle in the 40 Watt range.
Shopkeeper: Hey, just what you see, pal.
Wrong year buddy, this is 1984.
...and now I have to take time to watch it again, again.
I stopped watching football games to watch this. That's a big deal for me. Love these breakdowns.
I never thought I'd see this film on here! So cool!
I have handled dozens of sporterized 98 Mausers that had the original military stock cut-down and trimmed to sporting dimensions. After about 1941, the 98 Mausers came from German factories with a laminated stock.
This whole video is just Larry nitpicking the prop choices but I still enjoyed it because I'm also a firearms enthusiast and Larry knows his stuff. It's usually interesting to hear a respected authority speak on a subject of which they are knowledgeable. I'm looking forward to the future of this series and more criticisms of fighting tactics.
I never got this movie. I was sure it was a good one, but it wasn't my style. I'm more into Heat/Collateral type of movies I guess. Glad to see this is making a return though!
Me too for me it's a Classic Case of a movie which was seriously lacking but got high critical acclaim because of the directors and because of the praise people think it has to be good and convince themselves they are enjoying it.
Both awesome movies seen Heat 3 times when it came out...I wish they would have gone into the characters background a little more in a 3 movies.
@@JMLockpicking HEAT. One of the greatest movies ever.
Actors, director, soundtrack, story, cinematography, weapons, nothing about it sucked in my opinion. Beautiful work of art.
It’s a great movie - one of my favorites
The dogs look like Cane Corso’s larger than Pitt Bulls
I thought so too. They are easier to train so I'm almost convinced
@@lerch400block the only breed I've ever had trouble training was a Dutch Shepard because they have trouble focusing.
I'm surprised you picked this movie to talk about.
Me too. It is, however, one of my favorites of all time.
Lots of requests in the comments section on the other at the movies vids for this movie. ✌️
Since the first time I saw this movie, I said to myself, I would have giving him some water, and closed the door. Great series.
Larry got the taste No country for old men and Sicario is perfect movies
That was a great review I always learn so much from you sir! I also love this movie and always thought it had some great parts and some weird goofs but its Hollywood they dont know whats right and wrong sometimes!
That was filmed up around Tetilla Peak/La Bajada/Cerrillos outside Santa Fe. My preferred shooting range is out that way.
Awww, I was hoping Larry would call the shootout site "the colossal goat fuck in the desert" like Stephen Root's character does 😄
Fun fact, I bought am HK91 in 1979, brand new at Foot Hills shooting centre in Lakewood. It was $289.00, spare mags were $34.00 ea. I wanted a match grade M1A but every shop in CO was out. I still have it, and an M1A.
Damn Larry, bringing back some memories! I'm a little younger than you, I was 11 in 1980. I remember the pre-tacticool days. I still have my copy of the 1980 Gun Digest 😉
Great work as always Larry! Best in the business!
The way he carelessly slams down that custom laminated stock onto the tailgate of the drug packed truck
i think i just found me new favorite youtube channel
Love your videos Larry. Keep them coming.
Should Do 'The Highway Men'!! One of my favorites!
I love Larry's usage of the term flavor.
In the book, his hunting rifle was a custom mauser 98k action with a bull barrel, chambered in 270 win. The movie uses a regular remington 700 with a heavy barrel.
In the gas station there is a modern packaged thing of beef jerky as well.
Gas station scene is cool. The belts hanging behind the clerk can be compared to a noose.
@@RickJZ1973
A NOOSE!!!
Don't tell BUBBA!😫
@@KevinSmith-yh6tl???....the analogy of the hanging automotive belts to a noose is very plausible since Anton's character brings impending death. The clerk's life came down to a coin toss.
@@RickJZ1973
Never mind,it was a reference to something else.
Great movie and great review, Larry. I did not get the movie at first either.
Larry designs ad loves 1911s. Fantastic how he embraces his "classic boomer" status with pride
Top 10 movie of ALL time
Larry do the “The Veteran” with Toby Kebbel
That shootout at the end of the movie is an excellent collection of practical shooting.
Love these videos. I would love to see Larry review the “Clearing Lorea’s house” scene in Triple Frontier
Larry i was waiting for this
