Some random trivia about these scenes: Yes they tried to make them look like video game characters, going as far as dipping the costumes in glue, so the wrinkles look bigger and "fake". Dean McKenzie (Sgt. Cross), looked pissed after the "EVERYONE" because he probably was..this was like the 20th take and the director pushed him further and further to get the perfekt one till we got this legendary cut. Dean still doesnt like the take to this day. Simone Baily (Cross' sidekick) wanted to fully embrace the sexy cop stereotype to an almost pornographic level from the start, even going to the auditions in a slutty cop halloween costume (i think, i might've misremembered it). The dude playing our character (only seen from the back) is called Paul Walker. Not THE Paul Walker, just A Paul Walker. Mia is played by Josie Maran, a fashion model which, yes, also posed in nude a couple of times (for all you horny fucks, shame on you) The art director of the game (habib zargapour) is an accomplished hollywood director now and is currently making a film with razor (derek hamilton) as the protagonist (i think) and dean has a role in it as well (i think) it's called "squadron" and its about planes in ww2, look it up! The writer took part as a passenger in an illegal street race in NYC while looking for inspiration and a story. They all had a fucking blast acting in these scenes and all want to reunite eventually. If you are at all interested, check out Simone Baily's yt-channel, where she does podcast-style interviews with basically all of the cast and goes in reeeeeal depth about the process and the fun they had while shooting MW, there is tons of stuff to find out and the way they still go on about it 1.5 decades later shows how much care and passion went into it even though the endresult is as cheesy as a cave in switzerland.
I just looked up Habib (The Art Director) on Wikipedia to see what other games and movies he's worked on you were NOT kidding. For movies he's worked on Blade Runner 2049, The Bourne Identity, f-ing Star Wars Episode 1 in VFX/Post production work! With games he's also worked on Sunset Overdrive and Ryse: Son Of Rome as Art director.
That's gotta be awkward to be named Paul Walker and be associated with something racing related. I always thought that model looked like Andrew Garfield from behind. And as for the actors, I wonder who the other Blacklist racers are. I mean we know who Razor, Ronnie, Bull and Izzy are, but the identities of everybody else are still a mystery
The main thing about NFSMW05 cutscenes isn't that they are bad or good, it's the amount of personality from each character you see, the cast, even if some times it doesn't sound perfect, it sounds "real" to the world of the game and they keep that consistency through out the entire game, there's clearly a lot of passion from the actors and the devs in the cutscenes and it just shows every time. Also, yes a lot of the actors put improvised actions into the recordings.
This game is so over the top it's amazing, that's why it's unforgettable, i mean, even my dad who just saw me play sometimes remembers Ronnie and when we come across each other in traffic he does that hand thing
15:23 I love the detail of it showing Mia's face in the rear-view mirror so we still see her reaction to what Razor is saying even in she's not in frame. These cutscenes are hilarious and fun to watch but that little detail is pretty cool to me. I actually never noticed that when I played the game and originally saw this cutscene. The cast looked like they had a ton of fun shooting this
It was definetly cheesy on purpose. Not just the acting, the graphics, the editing... it makes the story legendary. If they were taking themselves too seriously it would have aged terribly, but they were doing it all on purpose, so its just fun and timeless.
It still did age extremely poorly. The only difference is that we're laughing with the actors. If they were indeed taking themselves seriously we would instead be laughing AT the actors.
Sorry but it didn't aged well at all minus Ronnie ironically. He fits 100% his character being a guy with rich parents trying to play "guetto". Besides that let's not play revisionism here.
Really like how clean your editing is. It's not over the top, but it keeps the videos interesting and engaging. Congrats on all the well deserved growth for your channel too!
Never noticed this absolute stroke of genius behind Sergeant Cross stopping you on a CROSSroad... Also the 'everyone' scene gotta be a reference to a final scene in 'Leon the Professional' when Stansfield orders to bring every cop to take down the protagonist.
@@ZuKuPLayer I’m not sure if he actually intended it to be a reference, I heard in an interview with Dean McKenzie (Cross’ actor) that he wanted it to be done in another way. But the continuing requests from the director and repeating the scene many times made Dean annoyed and furious. So when this shot was taken, the “EVERYONE!!” Line was given with pure anger.
5:00 its even more ironic because the scene is about how the player's vehicle isnt street legal yet the cop car is the chevrolet corvette c6.r, a non-street legal race car
I find it funny that Carbon picks up literally right after the end of Most Wanted, and your character loses his car again within the first five minutes.
Finally somebody agrees that Ronnie is the best video game character of all time. I thought I was the only one who absolutely adored everything about him, the way he acts, every single facial expression he makes... Oh man, every single scene he's in is oozing with personality. To say the actor had a ton of fun in this role would be an understatement, and that alone, is a sign of a great character (Because if you don't enjoy the role you are as, I don't think it will be as sincerely good or at least as comedy gold as it is here).
17:11 That Leon the Professional reference jusst killed me 😂😂 Love NFS Most Wanted, the cutscenes are cheesy like Red Alert, but they're the best! Sad that they don't make games like that anymore
Same for NFS Carbon. I think they had a LOT of fun making those. Yeah, they are corny but they are like 1000% better than NFS2015 or even in-game cutscenes from Payback or Heat. Why? Because like I said earlier, You can see that they had fun with it. I would love to see that type of style in modern NFS for sure.
@@reliqua what no they dont , ghost was fired and made few nfs games , the only made rivals , 2015 , payback and heat , rest was blackbox and criterion
@@AsatorIV Yh after heat they got rid of ghost and brought back criterion , heat was good but very short and lacked alot of content , it still made sales but ppl were disappointed after it only getting 1 update , 60 dollars for a game u can beat in 1 day doesnt really seem worth it to alot of ppl
@@xehayukimura7409 Blame EA. I liked 2015 enough to continue playing past the story (despite the online being not too great), skipped Payback, then bought Heat when I saw it was probably the most holistic NFS to date (tuner culture, cat-and-mouse cop chases emboldened by the day/night racing mechanic, and a story that didn’t take itself so seriously), but having one underwhelming content update, then one last one for crossplay functionality before EA shuttered Ghost Games was insulting as fuck and really depressing. I think Ghost was finally hitting their stride and had the right blueprint with Heat.
14:47 His real name's Clarence And Clarence lives at home with both parents And Clarence' parents have a real good marriage This guy don't wanna battle, he's shook 'Cause ain't no such things as halfway crooks
Hey Jack, just stumbled upon your video, and I really like your humor and style. NFS MW (2005) looked so cool when I was in 5th grade. Obviously, the cutscenes have aged, but in a good way. Early 2000s NFS titles had such a distinctive charm in them.)
13:48 I dunno if it’s your editing, but I find it hilarious how instead of aggressively fighting the window close, Razor just walks off like “understandable, have a nice day.” 😂😂
I was in tears laughing, looking back now I can't believe how bad (good) these were. Awesome video Jack, I hope you do one on the Metal Gear Solid Series.
Ah a fellow man of taste I see. Most Wanted is still one of my top 2 racing games (the other being Burnout Revenge). While the cutscenes are super goofy, there is something still so entertaining about them and it's something the NFS franchise has never really been able to recapture. Most Wanted had probably the best cop chase system in the franchise for me, the way you track your rap sheet and earn rep was so satisfying.
To be clear on why cross is immediately your enemy at the beginning of the game, Your car is not a normal car or rather a street car. Its a race car that cant be used like a street car Which is why he points out gauges, shifters, wheels. also If you zoom in on the windshield, you can see what its insides really look like. In most wanted 5-1-0 the psp game there is a version of the BMW in that game that shows what it was ment to look like.
My favorite NFS of all times. Haven't played it over 15 years, and I can still pretty remember Jesse's entire dialogue from the Disclaimer/intro. If this game ever gets a full on, dedicated, AAA remake treatment, I can die a happy boi. edit: 5:40 to 'answer' your question, I think remember It was Raycevick's MW video, the actor who played Ronnie did an interview back in day and spoke about trying to 'emulate' the mannerism of the protagonist of one of The Offsprings' music videos, I think it was. Edit 2: 11:55 Remember, she dropped you off at the car dealership. You had to drive yourself to the Safe House.
This was my absolute favorite Need for Speed game too. I think it was extremely over acted because like over acting and over simplifying the message is because it’s easier for a younger audience to understand what’s going on story wise. And who the hell didn’t have a crush on Mia in this game.
To me it was the best NFS of all time. Never again did they hit the same heights in design and comedy. Literally genius. I played this every day of 2005-6.
I just replayed nfsmw, and had a blast. I miss the cheesy cutscenes, the aggressive soundtracks and the amazing multi-player. This was the golden age of video games
Those cutscenes were giving me 90s FMV vibes. I hope this channel grows more because you make great content. I smiled through the entire thing. Heartwarming, dawg.
Mate 10/10. It's not often a video makes me burst out laughing instead of the usual "single exhale through the nose", and it was happening all throughout. Jack "Plasma" Sather now #1 on TH-cam Blacklist.
"So bad that it's good" is an art-form. It's like walking a tightrope where you have to carefully maintain balance or risk failing. You go too far into cheese and it doesn't work anymore because then it's just a parody / comedy, but if you don't go far enough and play it safe then it also doesn't work. I think the whole concept still has unexplored potential in storytelling and that it will take genuine talent to polish this particular diamond and maybe turn it into a genre in and of itself.
The gauges,shifter and the wheel meant that they were not like normal car requirements.the gauges were Race dash gauges which are for the race cars,shifter is a stick and the wheel is attached and diattached with some wires on it
I remember watching my older brother play this all the time as a kid thinking how awesome the cutscenes were especially when you got busted. Brings back good memories
This game brings back soo many memories! My love for cars started with this. Use to play with my friends on LAN. The music also was also good. Damn feel like playing this game again. Truly iconic!
This channel is too damn smart and entertaining to not be getting more views, spread the word this guys stuff is high quality..nice work dude hope to see more stuff, would love to see a GTA online vid
As a kid playing that game, the cutscenes looked so much better than it actually was lol. But as adult, it's somehow just as good but in a different way, can't explain why. 😆
Very entertaining video but I wanted to mention two errors that stood out to me. First one is possibly because of the video you were watching. It probably didn’t include gameplay at that part. Mia doesn’t drive you to the safehouse. She leaves you at Ed’s garage/car park. You choose your starter car and Mia sends you the location of the safehouse. That’s why she says “So, you found it.” when you arrive. Second one is, you don’t start the last level with 4 stars :) Most Wanted has heat level instead of stars, it is shown at the left of your map. You start the last escape level with heat level 6 (one higher than the most you could get throughout the career).
When I was a kid and played it, I took it seriously as hell. I had a crush on every girl in the game, every race was a big deal to me I think we just got old
Once again Jack come back and not just to give us this video as a snack. If you don’t like, comment, and subscribe you must be on crack because not watching his vids is wack!

The cross partner is called simone bailly and she actually has a youtube channel where she made some interview series with those who where part of nfs most wanted and some other nfs, actually the last video she made was talking with the wolf actor from need for speed carbon, when she made this one 10 months ago, she never uploaded another video after that one
Dude you're like the chillest youtuber. You actually did a whole video commentary to fill out the time for a bigger video just so that we could have more content from you. Keep doing the good work bro!
ROnnie was supposed to be like a rich boy who fronted guetto, it was in his description and everything, it fits his character that he always seems to be trying really hard to look street
I just found your channel, I had a great laugh! You killed me at 16:08, I was crying from laughter for a good 5-6 minutes. Definitely subbed, love your style, keep up the good work man! ;)
11:55 actually she drove us to the place where we selected our first car then she gave us the GPS information to the safehouse and we drove there. So that's what she was saying by you found it. Hilarious video tho..keep it up mate.
This game man. Everything about it just makes me wanna go back in time when I was just a kid who returned from school and can't wait to get on top of the blacklist. Even in school me and my friends would make the list of the blacklist in game and talk about it. Me and my uncle would literally act as driver and co driver during playing the game too. And then having Mia as the first crush. God, those times were so good. I can't appreciate this game enough. I think about it almost everyday.
😅 funny AF dude - totally forgot how bad cut scenes used to be. Loved that era of cheap actors in real cutscenes, please do a take on red alert 2 next! 🙏
"whats a matter dawg you embarrassed? This guy's a gangsta? His real names Clarence, and Clarence lives at home with both parents, and Clarence parents have a real good marriage."
Man i forgot the last time a video made me laugh with such joy on TH-cam. Really great video man. Love the way you edit and the whole video is such a nostalgia trip, makes me want to play the game again. Such quality content, great job!
I'm surprised They were able to film those cutscenes without burst-out laughing.
Oh I'm sure there was many takes... xD

The gauges,shifter and the wheel meant that they were not like normal car requirements.the gauges were Race dash gauges which are for the race cars,shifter is a stick and the wheel is attached and diattached with some wires on it
At 3:20 I'm pretty sure Cross meant that the gauge, shifter, and wheel LOOK nice.
That "EVERYONE!" line was a reference to iconic line by Gary Oldman in Leon The Professional, what makes this scene legendary
You can see the exact moment his heart broke at 9:28
Great editing!
I remember watching my older brother play this all the time as a kid thinking how awesome the cutscenes were especially when you got busted. Brings back good memories
Such a legendary game. The music is what brings back all the memories for me, great vid
This is still one of the best games ever made I go back and play it at least once a year
This game brings back soo many memories! My love for cars started with this. Use to play with my friends on LAN. The music also was also good. Damn feel like playing this game again. Truly iconic!
This channel is too damn smart and entertaining to not be getting more views, spread the word this guys stuff is high quality..nice work dude hope to see more stuff, would love to see a GTA online vid
😭 thank youu
17:06 top notch moment 😂
I love how they arrest the only guy without a car 😂
@13:10 - The phone flips when the camera zooms out of the phone display.. lmao 😂
Bro you are legit an amazing TH-camr you deserve more than a lot of the bigger TH-camrs I hope you reach your goals
Thanks Homie
I think dude’s gonna blow up like NakeyJakey
"this guys a gangster? His real name is Clarence."
Yeah dude😳... him or his editor FUCKED up missing slipping this icon line!
I howled multiple times. Especially 6:20 at Mia “whaaaaaaa??”
I’ve always wondered what that favor was that Mia owed Ed..
I just started Risk of Rain 2 yesterday because of your video and love it already! Can't wait to watch this video. Keep up the amazing work Jack!
love RoR2!! great to hear, and thank you!
As a kid playing that game, the cutscenes looked so much better than it actually was lol. But as adult, it's somehow just as good but in a different way, can't explain why. 😆
14:10 Legendary edit
I always thought that double door closing was so weird 🤣🤣
"This guy's a gangsta?! His real name's Clarence!" - Eminem
Very entertaining video but I wanted to mention two errors that stood out to me.
First one is possibly because of the video you were watching. It probably didn’t include gameplay at that part. Mia doesn’t drive you to the safehouse. She leaves you at Ed’s garage/car park. You choose your starter car and Mia sends you the location of the safehouse. That’s why she says “So, you found it.” when you arrive.
Second one is, you don’t start the last level with 4 stars :) Most Wanted has heat level instead of stars, it is shown at the left of your map. You start the last escape level with heat level 6 (one higher than the most you could get throughout the career).
We need a Need for Speed Underground 2. The soundtrack alone is a nostalgia trip
EVERYONE!!! is Gary Oldman reference from movie Leon
Dude when she calls Ed look how long she goes without looking at the road! 😆
😂😂
When I was a kid and played it, I took it seriously as hell. I had a crush on every girl in the game, every race was a big deal to me
I think we just got old
Editing is on point🙂
Your friendship with Ronnie is amazing😂😂despite his involvement in sabotaging your car
The acting was oscar worthy when I was 11 😂😂😂
Once again Jack come back and not just to give us this video as a snack. If you don’t like, comment, and subscribe you must be on crack because not watching his vids is wack!
BARS!
You're no hack, because those rhymes of yours are on the attack!
@@KwadDamyj I consider myself a pro because I don’t have to rap about having a hoe. My beats drop harder than thunder and leave all the haters to wonder. My rhymes don’t ever miss but if you ask you might just get a kiss
The cross partner is called simone bailly and she actually has a youtube channel where she made some interview series with those who where part of nfs most wanted and some other nfs, actually the last video she made was talking with the wolf actor from need for speed carbon, when she made this one 10 months ago, she never uploaded another video after that one
Maaaan this bring back memories when I was like 7 years old playing most wanted on my PS2
Man I miss old games. They were so fun in gameplay and cutscenes. I like playing movie like games but sometimes games just need to be fun
Dude you're like the chillest youtuber. You actually did a whole video commentary to fill out the time for a bigger video just so that we could have more content from you. Keep doing the good work bro!
ROnnie was supposed to be like a rich boy who fronted guetto, it was in his description and everything, it fits his character that he always seems to be trying really hard to look street
I just found your channel, I had a great laugh!
You killed me at 16:08, I was crying from laughter for a good 5-6 minutes.
Definitely subbed, love your style, keep up the good work man! ;)
One thing that bugged me as a teen playing the game was how Bull, being a minion of Razor, can get a half-a-million-$ Mercedes McLaren.
11:55 actually she drove us to the place where we selected our first car then she gave us the GPS information to the safehouse and we drove there. So that's what she was saying by you found it.
Hilarious video tho..keep it up mate.
This game man. Everything about it just makes me wanna go back in time when I was just a kid who returned from school and can't wait to get on top of the blacklist. Even in school me and my friends would make the list of the blacklist in game and talk about it. Me and my uncle would literally act as driver and co driver during playing the game too. And then having Mia as the first crush. God, those times were so good. I can't appreciate this game enough. I think about it almost everyday.
1:22 he's laughing because they messed with his car prior to the race with razor lol
“His real name’s probably RICK” LMAO😂😂😂
😅 funny AF dude - totally forgot how bad cut scenes used to be. Loved that era of cheap actors in real cutscenes, please do a take on red alert 2 next! 🙏
"whats a matter dawg you embarrassed? This guy's a gangsta? His real names Clarence, and Clarence lives at home with both parents, and Clarence parents have a real good marriage."
If Bradley Cooper and a Golden Retriever had a baby
2:24 nice racer name lmao
Mia is SO MID 2000’s 10/10 lol
I wonder how she’s doing today. Good video as usual!
"hey, you little punk" - this scene with Ronnie is like de video: Need for speed most wanted in a nutshell
The "My leg" quote from SpongeBob at 0:53 is just brilliant
Hahaha yesss so glad someone caught it
“Razor set you up”
You think 🤣🤣🤣
You out here earning that rep, with videos like this, keep it up and remember 12:06
This part completely took me off guard, that was the part when I laughed my ass off xD
my heart left me when cross started to key that car man
That 14:03 "giggidy" insert had me🤣
This channel is the one!
Mia's a Schrödinger's girlfriend - she's your girlfriend until you ask her if she's your girlfriend
Man i forgot the last time a video made me laugh with such joy on TH-cam. Really great video man. Love the way you edit and the whole video is such a nostalgia trip, makes me want to play the game again.
Such quality content, great job!
Thank you!!
