Michael Mann has created some incredible films his ability to integrate music is top-notch but Collateral has its own special place with a handful of other movies that make the gun play violence and action feel realistic and translate as how it could very well be. I think that gunmen with Ryan Philippe and Benicio del Toro Ronin which has one of the most legendary and underrated car Chase scenes in any film. All have violence and violent themes with a level of action but provide a definite sense of realism. An early Christian Bale movie has a partial art based on firearms It is fantasy and kind of silly that movie was It's stilleft the depression of plausibility to subextent so when you watch collateral or gunman and you see the self-awareness is skill that certain individuals have and that it's not just point-and-shoot but a whole body experience you definitely feel like yes this is how it should be and this is how i'd want it to be if that character was me.
20 things you somehow missed in Collateral……proceeds to list a ton of things that aren’t in the movie so how could they possibly be missed? Surely this should have been 20 things you didn’t know about Collateral?
But all stuff that is on the IMDB page. So someone was just bored and lifted it from there - in fact the article written has no mention that they've plagiarised the IMDB page.
The song in the club scene, Ready Steady Go by Paul Oakenfold, was also used in the Bourne Identity in the car chase. It's been on my playlist for 10 years.
Collateral and Heat are some of the best movies ever made. Both made by Michael Mann. The inspiration for future directors like Christopher Nolan (by his own admission).
2004 was a RIDICULOUS year for film! Collateral, Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind, Shaun of The Dead, Downfall, Kill Bill Vol 2, Nightwatch, Hotel Rwanda, Layer Cake, Undertow, A Very Long Engagement, Spiderman 2, Shrek 2, Ray, Anchorman, Sideways, Before Sunset, Garden State, Mean Girls, Napoleon Dynamite, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, 2046, Kung Fu Hustle, House of Flying Daggers, Nobody Knows, Bad Education, Mysterious Skin, Passion of The Christ, The Terminal, The Aviator, Dead Man's Shoes, Finding Neverland, I Heart Huckabees, Saw, I Robot, Million Dollar Baby, The Woodsman, The Aviator, Dodgeball, Dawn of The Dead, Saw, Closer, The Incredibles, A Home At The End of The World, The Notebook, Howl's Moving Castle, The Assassination of RIchard Nixon, Primer, Vera Drake, Badassssss The Machinist, Mean Creek, Beyond The Sea, Ocean's 12, 13 Going On 30, The Girl Next Door, National Treasure, Team America World Police, Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle, Man On Fire, and The fricking Prisoner of Azkaban. Even the misses were pretty good like Sky Captain And The World of Tomorrow, Van Helsing, Alien Vs Predator, Alexander, Along Came Polly, Meet The Fockers and Alfie. Yet somehow Crash won for Best Picture? FOR SHAME!
Crash had that huge cast. but i agree I would go with collateral for best picture and both these actors could have won awards. And so many other films in your list, 100% !
I've read quite a few articles talking about how the Oscar going to "Crash" is considered one of the biggest mistakes in the entire history of the Academy.
@@ItsSeanTheProducer Yep. And I don't hate the movie. It feels pretty heavy handed in the lessons for dumb people category but I'm just not sure in what world ANYBODY could consider it the best movie of the year.
@@boutrosboutrosboutrosboutros I'd probably go with Eternal Sunshine. Collateral or House of Flying Daggers for best cinematography. Collateral wasn't even nominated. For shame!
I've mentioned Number 3 to people for years... but there's more to it than what's in this video. Yes, Vincent's perfectly dead-center shooting results in him hitting the metal frame of the subway door... but Max's unfamiliarity with handling a firearm is what allows him to fatally wound Vincent. When Max steps out from hiding to shoot at Vincent, he actually closes his eyes before pulling the trigger. And then while he is shooting the pistol, he's not only firing (literally) blindly... he's also waving the pistol around in a circle as he fires. This causes one of his bullets to miss the metal frame of the subway door, and hit Vincent in the torso. So Max's inability to correctly fire a pistol actually causes him to win the gunfight.
So Vincent is banking that the bullet will go thru the door? Somehow at the back of my head Vincent dont't want to kill max he shout "Maxx!, I do this for a living" why?
This has been me and one of my friend’s favorite flick for like 20 years now. In video games we like to tag enemies the same way lol (2 to the heart, 1 to the head)
I assume you meant Sandler would be playing Fox's role? I actually think Sandler could have been awesome in Cruise's role. It's my favorite Cruise performance, so I wouldn't change anything, but it would have been interesting to see Sandler tackle a villain role. He's proved in the last 20 years that he's got serious dramatic chops.
I don't think he could have pulled off the cool, charming personality of Vincent but I completely agree he could play a great villian. A kind of villian I see for him is Denzel in Training Day. Someone seemingly charming and fun who you realize has a dark past
I'm sick of these WhatCulture people taking the findings, ideas, and theories that they find on the internet and presenting them as their own. Side note: Collateral is NOT Michael Mann's opus. Heat is. And that's not a knock on Collateral.
He had an SAS advisor. It isn't necessarily about speed, but also deliberate economy of movement. The targeting of the anatomical T in the Mozambique drill is also pure Hereford gun club, although the nose is a better aiming mark than the forehead, as the round takes out the medulla oblongata thus stopping all brain function. Not as cinematographic though I guess!
Appreciate the detailed breakdown! I have a quick question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
You and I have two completely different definitions of "missed." I think....I think what you wanted to say is, "20 Thing from Collateral that you could not have possibly known unless this video was made." There, I fixed the title.
Please stop perpetuating the idea that Vincent's skill is why he died. The ending scene literally defies physics, Vincent's rounds would've gone straight through those thin sheet metal doors, and Max very, very *very* clearly doesn't put a single round closer than a 5 foot radius all around Vincent. I love this movie, but the ending shootout just doesn't make any sense.
I think cruise has been well-advised to stick to "heroes" as his personal attitude of alpha really shine through as a villain, and that is more off-putting than the villainous actions. everyone says he's so empathetic, but he is a leading Scientologist... p.r. baby, p.r. ... the coyote scene contributed to the sense of moral loss, of wildness, and fear of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, juxtaposed with the Audioslave song... it added a surprising coloratura to the movie.
Collateral was one of those rare gems when you see major movie stars playing roles they normally wouldnt appear as. Tom Cruise as a villain was great

Almost made it halfway thru, seriously..

"Somehow" these things *not* actually in the movie were missed. Amazing!

I know that Heat inspired TDK but which Nolan movie was inspired by Collateral? I’m genuinely curious now

Agreed. I definitely got my money's worth out of Netflix in '04 and '05.
I say Collateral is Cruise's third time playing a villain. He was definitely the villain in one of his earliest roles in TAPS.
I've mentioned Number 3 to people for years... but there's more to it than what's in this video.
Yes, Vincent's perfectly dead-center shooting results in him hitting the metal frame of the subway door... but Max's unfamiliarity with handling a firearm is what allows him to fatally wound Vincent.

Yo homie is that my briefcase?
He knew the correct way to deal with homies.
I've never actually noticed the final shoot out. There's bullet holes in the train door - 2 to the chest and 1 to the head. The door stopped it
So Vincent is banking that the bullet will go thru the door? Somehow at the back of my head Vincent dont't want to kill max he shout "Maxx!, I do this for a living" why?

John Wick, playing Hitman on Rookie.
Vincent, playing Hitman on Professional.

Tom Cruise also played a villain in, "Taps".
If something wasn't in the released film (like behind the scenes changes) then it how can it be missed !!
If Vincent didn’t select the same taxi driver his target just used!!!
It's funny because in the movie he almost didn't 🤣

I believe Tom Cruise trained with the SAS for the quick draw shooting from the hip scene.
He had an SAS advisor. It isn't necessarily about speed, but also deliberate economy of movement.

Love this movie

I was in San Diego one night coming back from a club and saw a coyote running down the middle of the street exactly like that
You didn't mention the urban street appearance of the coyote/wolf, which I recall was very much unscripted...?
he mentions it, definitely a coyote, I see them a lot in SoCal
Ah, guess i missed it. cheers, thanks
@@boutrosboutrosboutrosboutros
Coyotes in Los Angeles seem sad and desperate.
They are reminders of the harm that LA’s urbanization caused to the land around it
I love this movie!

That Jason Statham cameo at the beginning is so random. Was it supposed to be a Transporter homage?
The writer says it was
Too bad we can't see a movie where Vincent's target is John Wick
3:32 So you want us to do your job for you?
Tom Cruise would have been perfect for a live action Wesker.
I also think that Tom Cruise would be a wonderful choice for doctor doom.
I think cruise has been well-advised to stick to "heroes" as his personal attitude of alpha really shine through as a villain, and that is more off-putting than the villainous actions. everyone says he's so empathetic, but he is a leading Scientologist... p.r. baby, p.r. ... the coyote scene contributed to the sense of moral loss, of wildness, and fear of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, juxtaposed with the Audioslave song... it added a surprising coloratura to the movie.
There's no real "somehow". I've never seen it. Wouldn't mind, though.
Random. Is there a sequel coming out? haha
Next stop...
FERRARI
I "somehow missed" that the actors prepared for their roles? Lol, what is this drivel?
Collateral would’ve been better without music
Over the top, affected accent is annoying af.
