Agreed. Imagine too that he was just an extra no doubt?! Must have gotten some fame after that?! Tom (Mapother) Cruise was born 5 years before me in the same hospital in Syracuse NY.
@1:32 That's my dad! The guy with the yellow P on his jacket. A whole day of work as an extra for that few seconds of movie time, but well worth it. Such a great scene! He got to watch the stunts being filmed, meet Tom, and shook his hand.
Nah, Da Name is just saying Black man in the bus stop doesn't know who Reacher is and thinks 5.0./Police is after him for other shit technically?! While he could potentially be a criminal?, most Black people are excellent judges of character! And there's no way any pedophile gets behind a car like that, let alone has tons of cops in the city after him. So he took a chance and gave him his hat to blend in etc's. Saying mans is "racist af" is a bit much don't you think!

Something kinda similar happened to a friend of mine when we were in our early 20s. Some assholes started a fight as they were leaving a bar. Nothing too crazy, just drunk college boys starting trouble with the locals. The whole thing spilled out from the sidewalk into the street, with beer bottles smashing and a few bystanders getting dragged into the fracas. My buddy found himself in a bit of a lull in the action, just as a bunch of cop cars approached. He just calmly walked across the street to a bus stop bench and sat down next to a middle-aged black woman. As the cops pulled up, he leaned over and put his head on her shoulder, and she said "Don't worry baby, I saw the whole thing. You just relax there."
Oh black ladies in the past, I was Remodeling a house in the hood in Columbus Ohio and made friends with the neighbor lady, one day she was over while I was working we were talking and a bunch of the Dickheadz from the neighborhood were standing out front threatening me and she went out and went off on a tirade on them threatening to beat all their asses and bringing her family and everything they never bothered me again
Hey, what better way to let a serial killer get away? Well, as far as the dude with the hat knew, Jack could have been anyone. Well, he was anyone to all those people. SMH I just confused myself.
*I loved that the driving wasn’t “perfect” like in fast and furious* [esp. the hyper-unrealistic shit they’re doing today]. I feel like it added a much more realistic and raw feel to the movie.
And they don't add an overly dramatic soundtrack during the chase so it's nothing but raw engine sounds and tire screeching to name a few. Way better in my opinion.
Also when the Car stalled... that was not in the script and tom cruise rolled with the punches... agree this movie is great but this car chase is really realistic which was actually more entertaining than anything else
There's no way a RWD muscle car handles like it does in F&F, they are all torque no traction. That's why dragsters have those weird looking marshmallow tires. You are absolutely right.
no... for me..... his smiling friend, getting one back on the cops... it would be good. he's luckier than the Cruise character... the audience surrogate in this one.
@@jamesbrown5262 he's a well trained and "gone through a lot" dude. He knows to blend in. Those police officers didn't stand a chance. for Me, who watches south indian action movies, this is some high standard stuff right here.
This first jack reacher film was a masterpiece. So well made and written. Whatever your feelings on casting, this movie stands on its own merits, you can take the jack reacher name off and call it something else, it'd still be excellent.
@@rodgerbane3825 I get that. Luckily I didn't read any of the books so didn't have a problem with the casting. It's a shame on one hand they couldn't have been more respectful to the source material, BUT you cannot deny they made a superb film here. I wouldn't change a thing about it.
That shoulder shrug he gives the vet as the bus comes up had me cracking up. "Just one of those days where an entire squad of cops are after you, my dude. You know how it is."
Imagine tho if I found out later ur family was killed by him. Then u wouldn't be laughing at helping a maybe criminal get away. Jus saying its cool but when u dont know u dont know
He was also in the next jack reacher movie. He was the taxi driver where Reacher rode with a female military named Turner. And guess what, turner asked for his hat.
In real life there’d be a Karen in that crowd who would be yelling to the cops and give him away Edit: This is where I’m supposed to say “Wow, thanks for all the likes.” The only problem is that likes on TH-cam have no real world value and anyone who takes status from them needs to re-evaluate how they measure their self-worth 🤦♂️
this sequence begins with a 70's style car chase that seemed predictable and tired and ended with an extremely cool modern twist.. silently acknowledging "I don't know what you did man, but i got you"..
I like this escape scene too. It demonstrates that you don't have to always be quick. Sometimes the best escape is slow and common and unnoticed. Sometimes the perfect getaway car is a city bus. Getting away is getting away.
These movies got me a little curious about the Reacher books by Lee Child, so I started reading them from the first in the series. I can tell you this: Tom Cruise got this character down. Now, Reacher is supposed to be huge, like 6'5", which Tom Cruise isn't. But everything else, the mannerisms, the attitude, the way of speaking, it is very very close to what I found in the first two or three Reacher books. I'm thinking Cruise really did his homework to get this right... Lots of people just think of Tom Cruise as an action hero, but, as an actor myself, I can tell you he has real acting chops.
yes, we never noticed or thought cruise has acting chops. even us non-actors. no clue at all that one of the most famous actors can act. but you, as an actor yourself, saw through the veil
Having read all the Jack Reacher books I resisted these movies because of Tom Cruise but aside from the size you are quite right. He straight nailed the character.
The whole scene is well done. Realistic car chase, Reacher walking out from a car like a boss and getting help by a veteran without a single word . Total badass 😎
I was at a Mc Donalds 40 years ago after a high school football game and the cops were chasing this guy and the parking lot was totally full of people. The crowd opened up so the guy could run into it and then closed up like the Red Sea . It was great. There was an increased police presence after that game.

He tried to get the Navy to let him fly F/A-18s himself for the new top gun movie but they wouldn’t let him. Either way he could probably fly a jet like that, Tom Cruise can drive or fly just about anything.

@@fezzik7619 Yeah, a joke. Pretty simple. Good hell It’s a comic scene in a Hollywood movie. Lighten up, stop making presumptive comments and take your bullshit somewhere else. I’m not going to be a target for whatever your personal issues here are.
Still one of the best scenes in movies today. No dialog just actions and expressions. Though I wonder how many times they did the scene over again because someone started laughing.
I love that fact that no words were spoken, you might say "well that's just because it's a movie". But recently I had a amazing experience with a online game where all the players were waiting to start the game. Couple players start doing "follow the leader/conga line" and soon everyone joined in, then following the leaders we split in 2 groups line up across from each other and first headbutted, but then ended doing a kind of country dance. It was amazing how we all worked together with out communicating. It was better than the game.
Thanks for relaying that story. I like to call what you witnessed/participated in 'spontaneous organization" and it's a potentially powerful agent of change. Somewhat rare but I've seen it on YT couple of times, much to the chagrin of those it was directed at.
Great stuff, Jack shows again that driving isn’t really his thing, and stepping out of the car was a great move. Loved the way the guys all moved round him. Great scene, - I love this character 👍
And that smile when the guy gets his hat back!… my favorite scene too. I haven’t read the books, but as far as I am concerned TC does great in ever film; that being said; I like him more in comedies. Such a presence on the screen!
I can imagine if the guy who gave Jack his hat had said anything, it would have been "You're probably gonna need this" Also I love that after he gives Jack his hat, both him and the other guy on the left of Jack both step in front of Jack without even looking at eachother. They both just have the same thought at the same time. I love that
I love that scene. The smile in the last scene is perfect and the short white guy who moves in to help black reacher before the bus arrives. All perfect.
Reading the comments everybody bitching about how people wont help him in real life. Am I the only one who thinks this scene is just badass how he just casually steps out of the car, strolls over to the group of people, blends in?
One of the best choreographed and most visceral car chases in cinematic history.... But that humorous protecting the vigilante/outlaw schtick at the end takes all that moviegoer excitement and converts it into one of the best LAUGHS in cinematic history. Honestly, this movie may not have been acting or thriller royalty, and it ain't no John Wick, but it took a pretty standard formula and gave it some personal touches - enough to make it hold its own just fine. I liked this film.
I remember this scene as the most memorable scene of the movie when it first came out; with that perfect smile when he puts his hat back on being the cherry on top...
I never noticed the first two times I saw this scene that the guy on Jack's right steps in front of him. Was too focused on the guy giving him a hat instead I guess
one of the best scenes in cinema ever. when simple guys appreciate his appearance, ask "what a hell", got his answer and covered him up. and everething of it made in 2 seconds. that's amaizing.
The driving scenes are excellent, really first-class and well-staged. What really stands out from older films is the actors are right there, in amongst the action and driving the cars. I'm sure Cruise did his own stunt driving - because living his life with a fearless attitude of experiencing life to the fullest is just the way he is - but I'm not sure if the cop chasing him, played by David Oyelowo, would have done his own driving. it IS possible he did it himself, all the while maintaining the calm and reserved disposition of his character, but it's also possible he was face-planted in by the completely believable film effects we have these days (or in 2012 when the film was made). Either way, it makes the film stand apart from, say, the car chase movies of the 70s and 80s, where if you looked closely enough you'd see a stunt driver with a totally different hairstyle turning his face turned away from the camera while smashing his car through something (usually a crossing gate) at high speed. In my opinion Jack Reacher is a 9/10 film and Tom Cruise is a brilliant professional. My favourite scene is when he takes Jai Courtney apart in the final battle. That's quite a beating and he totally deserves it.
I always thought it was odd a group of strangers would help someone being chased by the police, without knowing why the person was being chased. The audience knows he's the good guy, but as far as these people would have known, he could be a mass murderer. It never made sense to me, though it's a cool movie scene, I guess.
This movie has to be one of the most underrated movies of all time. It is gripping from start to finish. The action scenes are well thought out and believable. The cast is absolutely epic. I mean Robert Duvall at the gun range owner? Come on! The narrative is epic, the characters and sub characters are believable, the suspense isn't over the top with outrageously stupid music, the plot is well thought out and to top it all off, it didn't take itself too seriously.
I love how you sneaked yourself in @1:33 to the right of the woman with glasses. If you pause when the police cars are driving past you can see the green screen effect. What's even funnier is how no one else is talking about it 😆
I do appreciate that they making an effort to make the scene close to probabability by setting a lot of people waiting for a bus at that moment, but that city must has really unpleasant history with police which has it's citizens helped him to that extend
I love that man’s grin when Reacher returns the hat. One of the best non-verbal scenes ever
This movie made excellent use of silence, well, a lack of dialogue. The whole intro goes for something like 15 minutes without anyone saying a word.
he got a good story to tell his grandkids...lol
It was well done for sure.

The end of that scene is what makes it genius...the dual grins by both of them...just perfection!!!

Even though Cruise is a bad fit for Reacher, that was great.
It would have to be Cruise for this scene. The TV Jack Reacher is like the biggest dude ever!!😅😅 He could never hide in a crowd.

Also I love that after he gives Jack his hat, both him and the other guy on the left of Jack both step in front of Jack without even looking at eachother. They both just have the same thought at the same time. I love that
I hate all of it. In the real world I’d point his ass out immediately
@@fezzik7619 snitch
@@raijinoflimgrave8708 Damn right.
If you have to speak in films, you get paid extra. So they were saving money by not having them speak.
I love that scene. The smile in the last scene is perfect and the short white guy who moves in to help black reacher before the bus arrives. All perfect.
“Block” Reacher, not “black” Reacher.
They hate cops and the people saw he was no danger to them. RESPECT.
Yeah who knows. In real life he could have been a mass murderer who just escaped prison but whatever. RESPECT
@@uu9276 imagine if it was Jeffrey Dahmer who had done this 😂
@@captainobvious90 lol. 😂Yeah man. I be respecting that shit all day bro.
you're a idiot, the guy was prior military
If it were Trump I would have pointed the cops to him and conducted a citizens arrest.
Reading the comments everybody bitching about how people wont help him in real life. Am I the only one who thinks this scene is just badass how he just casually steps out of the car, strolls over to the group of people, blends in?
I see the cap as being a sign of respect for his badassery.
I love how Reacher could've been a psychotic killer who eats babies, yet they still covered for him
No.
The crowd know a good man from bad!
That and ACAB
Nobody who eats babies drives a Chevelle.
@@shanebrbich5698 The crowd elected Trump.
@@jazzman1904
One might say so!
😉
My favourite to.
The speechlessness of the scene makes it shinier either.
& the smile of the black man at the end takes it to a higher level.
The look on the face of the man who lent Reacher the hat made this whole scene!
One of the best choreographed and most visceral car chases in cinematic history....
But that humorous protecting the vigilante/outlaw schtick at the end takes all that moviegoer excitement and converts it into one of the best LAUGHS in cinematic history.
Honestly, this movie may not have been acting or thriller royalty, and it ain't no John Wick, but it took a pretty standard formula and gave it some personal touches - enough to make it hold its own just fine.
I liked this film.
Laughed so hard when that black man gave Jack his hat, it's the only part of the movie which is pretty funny lol :)
amarsbarr I did to, funny as hell lol.
Funny? Not really, quick judgement call and practical Yes.
Also the bathroom scene
P. S. And the whole old gunman attitude :D
I found every scene with Werner Herzog hilarious too but I'm German as well and that's just our sense of humour.
@@HighSpeedNoDrag have a wash mate
I remember this scene as the most memorable scene of the movie when it first came out; with that perfect smile when he puts his hat back on being the cherry on top...
I would not usually help someone I thought was a criminal, but if a dude pulled off such a smooth move like that, I'd hand him my hat also.
I like how the 2 of the people at the bus stop helped him.
I never noticed the first two times I saw this scene that the guy on Jack's right steps in front of him. Was too focused on the guy giving him a hat instead I guess
one of the best scenes in cinema ever. when simple guys appreciate his appearance, ask "what a hell", got his answer and covered him up. and everething of it made in 2 seconds. that's amaizing.
Lol I don’t know about “one of the best scenes in cinema ever”.
I’d put it in the top 75-100.
The driving scenes are excellent, really first-class and well-staged. What really stands out from older films is the actors are right there, in amongst the action and driving the cars. I'm sure Cruise did his own stunt driving - because living his life with a fearless attitude of experiencing life to the fullest is just the way he is - but I'm not sure if the cop chasing him, played by David Oyelowo, would have done his own driving. it IS possible he did it himself, all the while maintaining the calm and reserved disposition of his character, but it's also possible he was face-planted in by the completely believable film effects we have these days (or in 2012 when the film was made). Either way, it makes the film stand apart from, say, the car chase movies of the 70s and 80s, where if you looked closely enough you'd see a stunt driver with a totally different hairstyle turning his face turned away from the camera while smashing his car through something (usually a crossing gate) at high speed. In my opinion Jack Reacher is a 9/10 film and Tom Cruise is a brilliant professional. My favourite scene is when he takes Jai Courtney apart in the final battle. That's quite a beating and he totally deserves it.
No words needed for, I’ve got you brother.
Those two guys that stood in front of him are the realest
Such a smooth escape lmao
Always loved that . he kinda had help tho.
Brilliant 👌the hat owners little smirk at the end,classic
Years from now folks will still remember the bus scene. Every movie has those few moments.
Hat to him and bunch of em moved to hide him. : ) Whoever wrote this scene is a genius!
I always thought it was odd a group of strangers would help someone being chased by the police, without knowing why the person was being chased. The audience knows he's the good guy, but as far as these people would have known, he could be a mass murderer. It never made sense to me, though it's a cool movie scene, I guess.
I'm going to go way out on a limb, people don't like cops.
They helped him because whatever he might or might not have done, they could sympathize with a guy being hounded by the cops.
That's a beautiful smile! He earned whatever he was paid for and then some 👏👍❤️
1:36 is my fav part. the way the guys just look at him and go 'whad ya do man?' and the shrug 'i dunno'
Team work. Even among strangers. It’s always beautiful
This scene was literally "Hats off to you buddy."
My nephew ordered this DVD on eBay and it arrived a few days ago. We watched it last night. Terrific movie. 👏👏👏
This movie has to be one of the most underrated movies of all time. It is gripping from start to finish. The action scenes are well thought out and believable. The cast is absolutely epic. I mean Robert Duvall at the gun range owner? Come on! The narrative is epic, the characters and sub characters are believable, the suspense isn't over the top with outrageously stupid music, the plot is well thought out and to top it all off, it didn't take itself too seriously.
Which movie is this?
Assassin's Creed: Jack Reacher
I’d buy it 😂
I love how you sneaked yourself in @1:33 to the right of the woman with glasses. If you pause when the police cars are driving past you can see the green screen effect. What's even funnier is how no one else is talking about it 😆
i don’t know how many times i’ve watched this clip over a decade and i never noticed until this comment lmaooo i’m dying
This is somebody who thinks of a plan on short notice, and can use it to his advantage.
The new Jack Reacher could never blend into a crowd 😂
1:37 Guys are looking at him like “wtf?”
He just shrugs 😂
I missed that. Thanks.
Reacher shrugs, like "You know, Mondays"
When an extra rightfully, steals the scene.
This is topclass. Love it
Tom cruise @1:55 "Ma Nigga"
I think this is everyone's favorite scene.
You don't need to used words to create a amazing scene.
I love how they give him a "What did you do" look
I do appreciate that they making an effort to make the scene close to probabability by setting a lot of people waiting for a bus at that moment, but that city must has really unpleasant history with police which has it's citizens helped him to that extend
Badass. Everybody loves a good escape.
1:38 Love how he just shrugs. 'Hey man shit happens'
Like: whaaat? Why did they sent so many police? He: beats be 🤭
A fantastic scene, great supporting actor!
