Both you guys crack me up! I swear watching these films with you is like sitting with a couple old friends. We seem similar in age or I may have a few years on you both but it’s the same sense of humor. I also enjoy when you both immediately recognize an older song like “Midnight Train to Georgia” or The Jerry Springer Show from “The Green Mile” So many Reactors miss a lot by not understanding a reference because of being too young. Anyway here’s a small donation for your “What to get rich and famous “ fund. It won’t get you either but at least a cup of coffee. Rumor has it that “Shawshank” is in the works… Can’t wait! Keep them coming, your both great guys!
NOW THIS IS HOW MOVIE REACTIONS SHOULD BE, great sound design and letting the film breath without making yourselves part of it. My God that was great experience gentlemen.
Based on an incredible TV series in the 80s. With the late Edward Woodward as Robert McCall. The opening montage gave you the feel of the show. When the sun sets the big city becomes terrifying when the innocents are stalked and terrorized by evil. But lurking in the shadows was The Equalizer, an avenging Guardian Angel. The Equalizer made you feel safe. Denzel and Edward Woodward made you feel safe. The tag line in the series, “odds against you? Call The Equalizer.” The big guy with the fancy moustache who gave Denzel a hard fight is actor Tait Fletcher. He has the distinct honor of also being killed by Baba Yaga. John Wick pulled him by his beard, slammed his head on a table, jammed his gun into his ear and fired! Go to the next level. Check NOBODY!
Funny how small the world really is. The 80's show they tried to hire denzel for the show as well. He wanted to do it, but turned it down as he was in hospital tv show, st elsewhere. So he did the movies and the only movies he did a sequel to is this.
Great reaction guys! All 3 Equalizers are great, I think the 3rd one is the best! Have yall reacted to Man on Fire with Denzel, man on fire and the 3rd Equalizer has a connection!
Such a great reaction!! 😊Man on Fire is a great movie….a little hard to watch. But great Denzel movie.🍿 Also, THE BOOK OF ELI (Denzel, as well) is a post-apocalyptic movie….AWESOME! One of his best works, IMO. DeJavu, Out of Time, sooo many more! ❤ 😊
Great reaction to a great movie. The original 'Equalizer' was a 1980s TV series, set mainly in New York and starring British actor Edward Woodward. He looked like a senior bank manager, but could switch on the scary extremely well. The premise was that of a former superspy now using his talents to help people in trouble. His approach was the same as here - he'd start by offering the Bad Guys a choice between backing off (sometimes even with some kind of deal) or not. When the Bad Guys inevitably rejected this, he would then set about taking them down HARD, along with any group or organization they were part of. That was a guy who, in his old job, probably took down entire *governments* . Denzel's portrayal is different, but has that same flavor. There is a direct callback to the original TV series in the last scene of this movie. "Odds Against You? Need Help?" was the title of the regular newspaper ad the 1980s Equalizer ran, from where he got most of his "clients".
Check out the Accountant (Ben Affleck) and Shooter (Mark Wahlberg). They have interesting plots as well as great action scenes. Taken (Liam Neeson) is good too if y’all haven’t seen it.
A really interesting and big difference between Bob and John baba-yaga: you really saw Bob chew over the decision to get involved in a violent way since he had gotten out, whereas John had nothing left to lose that he cared about and just blew up instantly like an M80, not even a second thought
When Mr. Washington is tired of action, he would be a great customer advisor for garden equipment and tools. All that can be said about the equalizer films is that they are at the top of a quality pyramid. Greetings from Berlin - Germany You are doing a very good job.
27:42 My favorite line from the movie right there when detective Masters saw what Robert did and was like "Alright! Alright! Alright! Woah! Woah! Woah! You’re so f’in nuts!" lol. Gets me every time 😂. As always…top reaction, fellas!
Hello guys! I absolutely love your reactions: great chemistry between you too, good sense of humor and very well balanced between what you show of the movie and your reactions. It would be great if you could do more of them but I'm happy to wait next month for your new opus.
I've watched this movie over 100 times. I eventually picked up that his take on Moby Dick was foreshadowing for his character. He had tried to leave the world of killing, but you "Gotta be who you are in this world, right? No matter what." Robert is a killer and through the movie arc he had to accept who he is and use it as a tool. "Bob" explains Moby Dick to Teri (Alina): Teri: He ever catch it? Bob: Hm? Teri: The fish. Bob: Oh, yeah. Yes. Yeah, he did. Teri: It's a happy ending. Bob: Well, not exactly. Old man tied the fish to the side of the boat. Had to row back to shore. Fish bled in the water. Sharks came and ate the whole fish till there was nothing left. Teri: That's just kind of a waste, isn't it? Bob: Depends upon how you look at it. The old man met his adversary when he thought that part of his life was over. He saw himself in the fish. Came to...Came to respect it the more it fought. Teri: Why didn't he just let the fish go?
I did suggest The Equalizer! Awesome reaction, I was yelling "Yeeeahhh" lol Don't want the kisses BTW ha... Now, third time suggesting "Battle: Los Angeles" (with Aaron Eckhart); Sci-Fi, little action and a little something else... Also, there's a weird romance/action movie you might like: "Charly Countryman"... YOU'RE GONNA WATCH THEM, or "a bat" might slip from the top floor while you're going for Taco Bell, okay!? 😂😂😂😂😂😂 greetings from a Venezuelan MSP'er living in Ecuador!
The guy with the mustache often plays the evil henchmen in movies, he often has no dialogue. He was in "The Accountant" in the farmhouse scene. (Tait Fletcher)
I've been watching Equalizer reactions for a long time now and you guys have given one of the best reactions to this movie and you guys uploaded a month ago. That says a lot. Love the commentary and attention to detail. Can't wait till you guys finish the trilogy!
My absolute favorite part of your reactions - when McCall "scans" the room that first time: The gun - "Ehhhh, I could be really worried about that." The corkscrews, immediately afterwards - "OH NO. Oh , no!...." :)
You guys deserve 10 times the subs you currently have, always look forward to your videos. I just watched Oppenheimer (very late to the game because it only just got release in my country) and I can't wait for you reaction to it (unless you've already watched it, of course). Either way, keep up the great work and thank you for giving us worthwhile content on TH-cam!
42:21 this man LITERALLY tried to fight Ben Affleck's accountant, McCall's Equalizer, and John Wick lol. Of all of them, Wick took him out the quickest at least with the least amount of effort on his part. Damn weird mustache lol.
Book of Eli for another "spiritual" DW journey, supported by Mila Kunis and Gary Oldman. Great reaction as usual, love your soulful intelligent quips, wit and happy energy. Greetings from farm in South Africa, brandy & blueberry pipe for tonight's watch. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥃🇿🇦
Sean:"I wanna have his kids" 😂😂😂 That was def unexpected but totally understandable. Watching you guys enjoy this movie like you did was awesome. John Wick n Robert McCall are the best characyers out there, oh and add to that Jack Reacher, the one from the movies, played by Tom Cruise, those 3 should be besties n every city needs them. The good thing is that there are 3 Equalizer movies, 4 john wick and 2 Jack Reacher movies oh and can't forget 'Nobody' which is from the same universe as John Wick, also a must.
This movie was largely shot in East Boston and Chelsea Massachusetts, and I grew up in that very neighborhood that McCall lives in. The bridge seen in the opening shot is the Mystic River bridge and connects Points north in Ma. to downtown Boston. Two other movies were shot in that same neighborhood - "Blown Away" and "Mystic River". The first one is best forgettable but the the second is a must see! 👍
In the original 1980's T.V. series this was based on, Robert was a retired MI6/CIA double agent. He posted news paper ads offering his services. He also had a SON on the series played by William Zabka who also played Johnny in the Karate Kid. Very rarely in the series was any violence portrayed, Robert would basically outsmart them and they either did themselves in or ended up arrested. (Much like the A-Team series from the same era)
@mikeyshowpresents Yay! I love John Wick, and deffo would welcome a crossover (many want it!) But Bob is just so damn wholesome and honorable! Such a great character!
McCall used his surroundings and the objects around him to his advantage. The phrase, “I’m not trapped in a room with you, you’re trapped in the room with me,” always applies to people who are underestimated by cocky, arrogant individuals.
I'm just imagining myself tumbling down the stairs at full speed while fifteen men with metal baseball bats stand at attention every few landings. Each one gets a hit as I tumble down the unnecessarily long staircase.
Lol!!! Great reaction! Wick and McCall are two COMPLETELY different characters. I'd like to be able to pick either of them for a bar fight though. Lol!! Wick is an assassin's assassin. McCall is or was a government hitman/spy. His background is: DIA or Defense Intelligence Agency Spy, Hitman/Assassin, and Black Ops Operative (formerly). United States Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant (formerly). Skills: Military training, high intelligence, expert marksman, expert martial artist, high pain tolerance, expertise in weaponry, master tactician, knife mastery, explosive mastery, multilingualism. In other words, a MAJOR problem. Lol!!!
Also he rides the bus probably because he is technically dead!!! Remember at some point anything can be traced back to you! Stay off grid pay in cash, have a burner, never attract attention to yourself at all cost!
Not sure if anyone commented on this already. But the reason why he keeps flipping the lights on and off at the end there was so Pushkin’s eyes couldn’t adjust, thus making it much harder for him to see him leaving, not to mention the trap.
I watched the show in the 80s. Edward Fox was phenomenal. Casting Denzel in that role was a stroke of genius. He raised it to an art. Look up Carbon Copy. Denzels' first major movie, I think.
"There's a character that Denzel Washington plays well..." anyone he's cast in. From Malcolm X to Antwone Fisher, American Gangster, The Great Debaters, Training Day. Very different characters. Awesome performances. I'm enjoying your channel.
Guys, he IS OCD. You will see more in the sequels but he is OCD. When Denzel pleys characters with some mental health issue, they never announce it or even speak on it for some reason. They just expect you to know. Its definitely a decision. In Roman J Israel he is autistic but they never mention it. There are a few others but i can't say because it would be considered a serious spoiler
I don't like crossover, but the one with John Wick and Denzel IS a mighty one. Love on U, from France 🇨🇵 (such in admiration with your russian's accent, incredible😂)
Nit picking, it's not a Home Depot but I would say the next time you are in one you will be looking at tree pruners, barbed wire, drills, sledges, Hilti guns, etc. with a whole new appreciation for the endless uses of all those items😂😂😊
Robert McCall in this version is a former MARSOC (Marine Special Operations) turned ISA (that is like CIA Special Operators) who faked his death to leave that life behind to honor his wife's dying wish. When your body is stressed, it goes into flight or fight mode. high levels of cortisol and adrenaline are released into the blood stream causing you to perceive time as slowing down. This is really your brain processing sensory input faster. With the right training and experience you cannot just react faster but think in a controlled manner. This is what the camera is trying to explain quickly. Honey has antimicrobial healing properties and has been used for thousands of years for healing.
Both sequels are worth to watch it and both of them have their specially charme like this one, so I'm glad you decided there will be a reaction of you guys to Part 2 & 3.🙂 Btw, when you would like to see another movie of this genre when you're ready with this franchise I recommand "Kiss of the Dragon" (2001), definately a great one that anyone should love who also loved "The Equalizer".
Timing yourself in everything is a manner to have a memory of how long it takes to do things so that can be used when calculating variables quickly. It can simply be described as discipline. After first fight scene when he says he is sorry, it is to his dead wife that he promised her in life to leave all this behind.
To see where Roberts character came from check out MAN ON FIRE with Denzel. And the little girl he worked with in that reunites with Denzel in EQUALIZER 3. And another very smart movie is LAW ABIDING CITIZEN with Gerard Butler and Jaimie Foxx
you need to react to the other 2 films of The Equalizer with Denzel Washington. fun fact' he was trained by a navy seal in order to do his own stunts! this trilogy is FIRE. aside from movies if you watch interviews with Denzel he is super calm, intelligent and a bit OCD. He plays exactly who he is.
"What I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you.". - Liam Neeson Chloe Grace Moretz played Alina. Also Hit Girl from the Kickass super hero movies. 😮
The next two Equalizer movies are also a must watch! And The Accountant as well, barely anybody has reacted to The Accountant and its a really good movie. Also Man On Fire
I lived outise of Boston a couple of years and rode the bus and train to work. It was a actually much more relaxing than driving. It wasnt bad at all. But it was rarely that crowded so that helped.
Great reaction lads as always! I can't wait for your Equaliser 2 & 3 & also wanted to ask 8f you have done the taken moives? I'm guna looking now & see if you have hopefully I'll give them a watch aswell 🤔👍👍
I knew this would be great as soon as I saw it... Wasn't disappointed!!! Mentioned it before but I'd love to see you watch First Blood and Shawshank, keep up the awesome stuff!
Cool reaction, just like shaw shank and Forrest Gump.. Yes, I watched them all today haha. You guys were talking about Wick and him being partners. Well, watch the movie NOBODY (2021) and you're going to be in for a treat. Have a great day
the "rich man's Kevin Spacey" is Marton Csokas and hes Hungarian. I first got to know him on the show Xena and then in the movie XXX with Vin Diesel. Hes an amazing character/working actor.
Both you guys crack me up!
I swear watching these films with you is like sitting with a couple old friends.
We seem similar in age or I may have a few years on you both but it’s the same sense of humor.

I’ve been saying this for a while now
Yes!
Thank you for the kind words and also for the $10 dolla holla!! - Mikey
Yes! This channel is so fantastic!! They are so enlightening & entertaining. The compassion they have is so heartwarming!
@@mikeyshowpresentsguys you still haven’t done the equalizer 2 or 3 they been out a while your way behind CAN YOU DO EQUALIZER 2&3

Very generous of you. Many thanks! 🙏
Could not agree more, so Happy I found y'alls channel❤❤❤
He was NEVER about vengeance, he was about justice. Huge moral difference.
Great point
"He didn't come for help. He came for permission."
Great reaction, guys.
Love that line 👍🏼
@@mikeyshowpresents you skipped the part where he teach those cops a lesson
Underrated channel we just need more reactions ❤💪
Coming up!
Agreed it would get bigger pretty quickly with more reactions.
Yes! I found this channel a few days ago & have binged their reactions! I wish there were a ton more bc they are so awesome!
Now,this is great reaction I ever saw,hoping if you do sequel Equalizer 2 and then Equalizer 3 😁👍🏻

It's on the list!
What connection?
Loved your reaction. Now you absolutely have to see Nobody. 🚌
Such a great reaction!! 😊Man on Fire is a great movie….a little hard to watch. But great Denzel movie.🍿 Also, THE BOOK OF ELI (Denzel, as well) is a post-apocalyptic movie….AWESOME! One of his best works, IMO. DeJavu, Out of Time, sooo many more! ❤ 😊
We're adding em to the list!
Man on Fire is my favorite Denzel movie.
I second The Book of Eli, as its one of Denzels best.
Now The Equalizer 2 😁
Absolutely LOVED your reaction to this movie. You guys are hilarious! 😁
Thank you!! 😁
Great reaction to a great movie.

5:47 The look Denzel give him as he drives off says "This is the last face you will ever lay eyes on."
Not sure if you seen "Nobody" with Bob Odenkirk but I am going to leave this here. Enjoy!!
Got it! Thanks 🙏🏼
@@mikeyshowpresents do it! i love that movie!
Nobody is another level 😎
Check out the Accountant (Ben Affleck) and Shooter (Mark Wahlberg). They have interesting plots as well as great action scenes. Taken (Liam Neeson) is good too if y’all haven’t seen it.
Totally agree!!
The Accountant especially... extremely underrated film
100% agree
So good 👏🏾👏🏾
Yes! Please watch The Accountant! I love this movie! 🤩
Often overlooked… Robert doesn’t go armed ever. He uses his hands, surroundings and what he takes off people.
Ooooh yeah nice! Good catch!

All that can be said about the equalizer films is that they are at the top of a quality pyramid.
Greetings from Berlin - Germany You are doing a very good job.
“Nobody” “Law Abiding Citizen” or any of the “Taken” movies!!!!🙏
The equalizer is a former marine and a DIA operator
Great job again guys. Love your content. Can’t wait for your Shawshank Redemption video

I've watched this movie over 100 times. I eventually picked up that his take on Moby Dick was foreshadowing for his character. He had tried to leave the world of killing, but you "Gotta be who you are in this world, right? No matter what." Robert is a killer and through the movie arc he had to accept who he is and use it as a tool.
"Bob" explains Moby Dick to Teri (Alina):
Teri: He ever catch it?
Bob: Hm?
Teri: The fish.
Bob: Oh, yeah. Yes. Yeah, he did.
Teri: It's a happy ending.
Bob: Well, not exactly. Old man tied the fish to the side of the boat. Had to row back to shore. Fish bled in the water. Sharks came and ate the whole fish till there was nothing left.
Teri: That's just kind of a waste, isn't it?
Bob: Depends upon how you look at it. The old man met his adversary when he thought that part of his life was over. He saw himself in the fish. Came to...Came to respect it the more it fought.
Teri: Why didn't he just let the fish go?
While your comment is very appropriate, the book wasn't Moby Dick (and I feel a little pedantic pointing this out) it was The Old Man and The Sea.
I did suggest The Equalizer! Awesome reaction, I was yelling "Yeeeahhh" lol Don't want the kisses BTW ha... Now, third time suggesting "Battle: Los Angeles" (with Aaron Eckhart); Sci-Fi, little action and a little something else... Also, there's a weird romance/action movie you might like: "Charly Countryman"...

John Wick n Robert McCall are the best characyers out there, oh and add to that Jack Reacher, the one from the movies, played by Tom Cruise, those 3 should be besties n every city needs them. The good thing is that there are 3 Equalizer movies, 4 john wick and 2 Jack Reacher movies oh and can't forget 'Nobody' which is from the same universe as John Wick, also a must.
You guys are the only reactors who got the Gladys Knight and the Pips (Midnight Train To Georgia) over the store PA connection!! Good job!

"That place looks like it has great crab cakes." Damn I'm getting old because I know exactly what you mean. 😂
He took out every guy in the store without a single bullet.
McCall used his surroundings and the objects around him to his advantage. The phrase, “I’m not trapped in a room with you, you’re trapped in the room with me,” always applies to people who are underestimated by cocky, arrogant individuals.
The next two movies are really worth diving into...Great reaction ...
Perfect, thx bud!
I'm just imagining myself tumbling down the stairs at full speed while fifteen men with metal baseball bats stand at attention every few landings. Each one gets a hit as I tumble down the unnecessarily long staircase.
Lol!!! Great reaction! Wick and McCall are two COMPLETELY different characters. I'd like to be able to pick either of them for a bar fight though. Lol!! Wick is an assassin's assassin. McCall is or was a government hitman/spy. His background is: DIA or Defense Intelligence Agency Spy, Hitman/Assassin, and Black Ops Operative (formerly). United States Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant (formerly).
Skills: Military training, high intelligence, expert marksman, expert martial artist, high pain tolerance, expertise in weaponry, master tactician, knife mastery, explosive mastery, multilingualism. In other words, a MAJOR problem. Lol!!!
😂 Facts!
Not to mention he has a high level of compassion as well. He has medical field knowledge as well (using the honey), etc.

Guys, he IS OCD. You will see more in the sequels but he is OCD.
When Denzel pleys characters with some mental health issue, they never announce it or even speak on it for some reason. They just expect you to know. Its definitely a decision. In Roman J Israel he is autistic but they never mention it. There are a few others but i can't say because it would be considered a serious spoiler
Great reactions guys !
LMAO “…hit a baseball bat 15 times..” 😂 Thanks for the laughs. Keep them coming ❤
You guys are having tooo much fun!
That is true 😁
So, I'm going back through some of your earlier videos. You guys crack me up! 😂😂😂
The bald guy with the moustache during his fight scene with Denzel was also the same guy in John Wick when was shot in the head by the Babayaga.
Love you both, wish you'd upload more often, you'll are heavily missing in the reaction space 💯💯
This was a great watch, both of you guys are great at this.
I don't like crossover, but the one with John Wick and Denzel IS a mighty one. Love on U, from France 🇨🇵 (such in admiration with your russian's accent, incredible😂)
Nit picking, it's not a Home Depot but I would say the next time you are in one you will be looking at tree pruners, barbed wire, drills, sledges, Hilti guns, etc. with a whole new appreciation for the endless uses of all those items😂😂😊
Oh yeah
Robert McCall in this version is a former MARSOC (Marine Special Operations) turned ISA (that is like CIA Special Operators) who faked his death to leave that life behind to honor his wife's dying wish. When your body is stressed, it goes into flight or fight mode. high levels of cortisol and adrenaline are released into the blood stream causing you to perceive time as slowing down. This is really your brain processing sensory input faster. With the right training and experience you cannot just react faster but think in a controlled manner. This is what the camera is trying to explain quickly. Honey has antimicrobial healing properties and has been used for thousands of years for healing.
👍🏼
Both sequels are worth to watch it and both of them have their specially charme like this one, so I'm glad you decided there will be a reaction of you guys to Part 2 & 3.🙂
Btw, when you would like to see another movie of this genre when you're ready with this franchise I recommand "Kiss of the Dragon" (2001), definately a great one that anyone should love who also loved "The Equalizer".
Timing yourself in everything is a manner to have a memory of how long it takes to do things so that can be used when calculating variables quickly. It can simply be described as discipline. After first fight scene when he says he is sorry, it is to his dead wife that he promised her in life to leave all this behind.
Nice
The follow up movie is a blast too lads, well worth a look!
Awesome Reaction. I recommend you both "War"(2007)
"Shooter"(2007)
"Illegal Tender"(2007)
"Four Brothers"(2005)
Shooter & Four Brothers are two of my top movies! I don’t think I’ve ever seen the other two. I’ll have to check them out! Appreciate the referral!
I love your reactions! Please watch "The Accountant" and "Nobody" next! 🤩👍
Added!
To see where Roberts character came from check out MAN ON FIRE with Denzel. And the little girl he worked with in that reunites with Denzel in EQUALIZER 3. And another very smart movie is LAW ABIDING CITIZEN with Gerard Butler and Jaimie Foxx
Will do!
Groovy cool guys. Ya'll got the Gladys Knight and The Pips reference.
Loved the 17 minutes in sub request 😂😂
"I wanna have his kid." LMAO 🤣
One of my favourite action movies along with John Wick, great reaction as usual guys
So good!
John Wick for Adults
Any man who lays his hand physically, unprovoked on a woman is indeed a coward .
you need to react to the other 2 films of The Equalizer with Denzel Washington. fun fact' he was trained by a navy seal in order to do his own stunts! this trilogy is FIRE. aside from movies if you watch interviews with Denzel he is super calm, intelligent and a bit OCD. He plays exactly who he is.
Nice! Cool info!
"What I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you.". - Liam Neeson
Chloe Grace Moretz played Alina. Also Hit Girl from the Kickass super hero movies. 😮
The next two Equalizer movies are also a must watch! And The Accountant as well, barely anybody has reacted to The Accountant and its a really good movie. Also Man On Fire
I lived outise of Boston a couple of years and rode the bus and train to work. It was a actually much more relaxing than driving. It wasnt bad at all. But it was rarely that crowded so that helped.
Really like your channel. Keep up the good work✊
Thanks, will do!
Great reaction lads as always! I can't wait for your Equaliser 2 & 3 & also wanted to ask 8f you have done the taken moives? I'm guna looking now & see if you have hopefully I'll give them a watch aswell 🤔👍👍
No, not yet 😉
I knew this would be great as soon as I saw it... Wasn't disappointed!!! Mentioned it before but I'd love to see you watch First Blood and Shawshank, keep up the awesome stuff!
Shawshank will be out in a few days 👍🏼👍🏼
@@mikeyshowpresents Awesome, thank you for replying. 👍🏻
Cool reaction, just like shaw shank and Forrest Gump.. Yes, I watched them all today haha. You guys were talking about Wick and him being partners. Well, watch the movie NOBODY (2021) and you're going to be in for a treat. Have a great day
the "rich man's Kevin Spacey" is Marton Csokas and hes Hungarian. I first got to know him on the show Xena and then in the movie XXX with Vin Diesel. Hes an amazing character/working actor.
Watching this makes me wanna go rewatch equalizer 😅
Gotta watch all 3 Equalizers and the remaining 3 of the John Wick series. 💜
Just a fantastic series of movies!!
Yes yes yes!
