That's because Vincent said that he was going to kill Robert like a dog so Robert ended up showing him who was actually the dog and who was the master. It was very poetic, powerful and profound ending scene.
Throughout the movie there's a common theme: he leaves a trail of brutal kills for the antagonist to discover before he eventually kills them. Poetic in a way, instilling fear in those who uses it to oppress
I love that the most painful deaths were to the big bad guys whilst the goons had the most painless ones. It annoys me when protagonists kill thugs whilst sparing the main bad guy.
Watching this part again, I cant help but think that while the mafia boss was stumbling around and ODing. He probably thought that he is imagining McCall who just casually following him until he dropped dead.
People giving Denzel props but, imagine acting the guy dying? That fear is so fkin real!! I have to say from experience, it is NOT easy to enact dying by blade, drugs and impalement. Like... how often do you die? lololol
If the director and the team building this story is reading this, thank you for giving me a new feeling in life. It was the best movie i saw in my entire life and I've watched a lot of movies since i was a kid. I never thought ill never experience goosebumps again watching movies. I salute u guys.
I enjoyed the symbolism here at the end. He says we all have to face death eventually. Instead of facing him after cutting his bonds he ran as McCall followed him like Death, waiting patiently till the end. "A coward dies a thousand times before his death, but the valiant taste of death but once. It seems to me most strange that men should fear, seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come." ― William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar Proving that even in death Vincent was a coward.
That is a great analogy. You see this act as symbolism, and even point to ol` Willie for the summary. I think you touch on it very well. I (unfortunately) do not have my Shakespeare down, and that is a great quote. I have no love for J.Caesar at all however. And of course, he never said those words. Great insight by you however!! Cheers!
@ELVIS-2022 You died man. How the fuck are you using a `puter in 2023 ? No cell phones or puter in 1977 king. That fuckin white suit has melted your brain along with all the drugs you did and all of the impacted feces in your guts. You had as much packed fudge as John Fu$%@#! Wayne, what, 14 lbs.?

The quote about the valiant facing and accepting death is very true regarding the sacrifice Stoick the Vast made to save his son Hiccup in How To Train Your Dragon 2. He didn’t care if he died or not as long as his son would live.
I'd like to know what Mccall gave to the Mafia boss, 4:49 because on the floor next to him we can see white stamps on the floor. How did Mccall manage to give it to the boss without him being able to see and feel when he gave it to him
@@BENNY-CROSS.VANDALS-CHICAGO same way some dogs are given medicine. You can massage them down the throat. They also would eventually dissolve enough to get a lot of a huge cocktail like that in the bloodstream sublingually
Denzel's character here is so well done in these movies. He's stoic and thoughtful and loves life and beautiful people, but also has a dark side where he plays with his food. Really shows the duality of human nature and how someone who might be your worst nightmare is a damn teddy bear for someone else, very true to life. I have a manager who's hated my guts for seemingly no reason since I started at my job a year ago, yet Ive seen her turn around and goof off on her phone with her favorite workers on the clock

I was looking to see this comment. That crying sound when he was killing was just badass and the end just gave me that whole “Godfather” vibe while still having its uniqueness. A true masterpiece.
After seeing all his men dead I’m actually surprised that Vincent didn’t play the only move he had left and put the barrel of his gun into his own mouth before Denzel got to him first. Then again, if he had any brains at all Vincent should have left with his gang whilst he still had a chance, instead of dying in the most undignified, terrified, and painful death imaginable.
In this evil world it would be good to have some Denzel for real, no more war, no criminal, no more child molester, no more dictator, my wish for Christmas 2023 .
Just saw the movie yesterday. I think of these stealthy brutal kills of Batman if he broke his no killing rule this is how he would do it. Denzel is basically like death itself and their was nothing they could’ve done
@FleetingForeground It wasn't the computer screens. Gruber ordered his men to "shoot the glass" meaning the windows. Watching McLean pull the glass out of his feet was brutal.
Denzil is in the top 5 actors working today. He is believable and effective in what he does, the looks he gives, and the justice he brings to the bad guys. In every movie he has ever been in he commands center stage. No other actor could ever play the part of Robert McCall.
I wish to take an informal survey, what’s worse Robert’s death stare when the younger brother dies or being serenaded with “You got the blood?” As some of the last sounds you will hear in this lifetime?
Denzel is just over the edge of insanity as this character. it is a remarkable performance. with apologies to Clint, my vote for best Angel of Vengeance in cinema goes to Denzel. as for the film making in general, it is at the height of artistry.

Literally XD
Denzel paid for that apple with community service
Earlier they gave him the fish for free so I’m sure the apple was no problem lol

Robert McCall walks a fine line between good and evil. He is a hero to some people and a nightmare to the wicked.

Guess we finally got a glimpse of the kind of things McCall wasn’t so proud of from his past.
True... Should have paid for that apple...
@@stefanmarinov2864 My wife barely spoke a word the entire movie but commented on why was food out on the street for the critters and bugs to get at?
It’s conceivable that Bourne and McCall underwent the same training protocol
@@michelmendoza1769 Yes, I think its called acting school
I’ve said it many times. This movie shows just how much of a psychopath he really is. He’s like the new Michael Myers.
Out of all Denzel's kills in these 3 movies, this one was by far the coldest.
It is always so luscious when the bad guy gets fear thrown into their face. They are all so ready to use it and I see few ready to payback costs.
Watching this part again, I cant help but think that while the mafia boss was stumbling around and ODing. He probably thought that he is imagining McCall who just casually following him until he dropped dead.
Possibly. ODing usually doesn’t come with hallucinations this vivid or would he be that delirious.
Robert Mccall, the stealth version of John Wick
Meh, stealth is a waste of time if you leave no witnesses anyway
John wick doesn't need to be steathy if the whole society are assassins
@@thanhnguyentien5825I think the equalizer and John wick would have a long fight not sure who would win
Like a stealthy, ultraquiet wraith that moves like smoke through a room.
McCall following him while singing the old hymn “I know it was the blood” was so chilling….
Imagine watching someone slowly die in front of you, yet still being calm enough to softly sing a song with no apparent sense of nervousness.
Yeah we call that a sadistic psychopath. But I guess it also works as the hero character these days in action movies.
And a gospel hymn at that 🥶
Then eat an apple…
It's called cold bloody killer
I'd rather not

Denzel is the true bad guy here. He didn't pay for that fruit at the end. Thou shall not steal. I'm okay with it though. 😆
Not sure he didn't pay. That corpse he left out front probably had some jewelry worth something...
He probably knows the owner of the fruit shop, he'll pay later.
He went back the next day and paid. Blame the edit that you missed that part.
@LittleBlacksheep1995 what did he kill him with?
It's been an old habit of Denzel. In Philadelphia. He left without paying for the groceries after confronting the gay dude 😂
If my memory is correct the boss claimed he would be back. Robert merely expedited the process
“Do unto others BEFORE they do unto you”
Denzel makes movies that scare the crap out of bad guys. I like that. He kills those that lack a conscience.

Bro giving this man a gun, seeing what he can do without one is insane
It’s very chilling that the nasty vicious people encounter someone on their level and look so pathetic
Yes specially for a so call mafia boss is very pathetic
When it came to terrorizing people, the Mob boss was a complete rookie compared to Robert McCall.
And let this be a lesson to all there's always someone badder than the bad guy out there
So who would we have to send to go get Denzel then?!! Bourne? 50 cent? John Wick?
Always think of all the men in special forces or ex cia spooks. You may be bad in your own head but theres far worse men out there than you or me.

just for the record, this world is not evil or good. I say it's a neutral world we live in. Thus, the world can be good and evil at the same time.
this was the best Equalizer of them all.
And first one too. The second was ok.
Just saw the movie yesterday. I think of these stealthy brutal kills of Batman if he broke his no killing rule this is how he would do it. Denzel is basically like death itself and their was nothing they could’ve done
5.27... Marlon Brando in the end of Apocalypse Now. "Horror, horror..." and the music after is a kind of hommage to Morricone... beautiful.
Good spot, also saw shades of the Godfather's parade/baptism murders at the end. Very nice.
This scene is like a Caravaggio painting. The Equalizer series is getting better and better.
Like how each movie Denzel allows the bad guy to die more slowly and painfully.
Yes to this
The main villain 's acting was also good. It's not easy to act dying role with long passage~~ Physically hard~~
BEST villain of the 3
Acting wise
"The Reaper (Death) loves apple".
Hmm so familiar. I read it somewhere. 🤔 Anyways I love the scene.
That’s why Ryuk in Death Note always eats apples🍎
The weird thing was that it wasn't all the violence that got me! It was the bad guy pulling glass out of the soles of his feet! OUCH! 😫😫
Same
Reminds me of Die Hard when the bad guy realised he wasn’t wearing shoes and breaks all the computer screens.
The constant spitting up grossed me out.
Bruce Willis did it first.
@FleetingForeground
It wasn't the computer screens. Gruber ordered his men to "shoot the glass" meaning the windows. Watching McLean pull the glass out of his feet was brutal.
The moral “Always keep your flip flops near the bed”
The way he stalks him simply just to watch his death😈😈😈
The Images in this scene are amazing! Incredibly beautiful in a fatalistic way - Film Noir in color, and I never thought that was possible!
When the boss screamed "Who are you!?" Denzel's character should have said: "I am death." And authorities finally got him for stealing an apple.
They always ask "Who are you?" The answer? The angel of death.
A certified Grim Reaper classic

not true. other actors could cover the part. Denzel excells at the role.
