He had to, he was so far in debt he had no choice but to make shitty cheesy movies on the daily to pay off all his debts. Man bought everything he laid his eyes on.
@Hotsam Noirchards Bro you got no taste in movie. This movie what I say is one of the top Documented movie about Arms dealers. Not those series type drug lord bullshit. These type of movie shows how nasty the US govt operates to supply its guns.
@Clementine Barnabet if he was a shit actor there was no way this movie would have come out as a masterpiece....imagine a b movie action film actor playing instead of him......no matter the great story, the movie would have come out as a shitty one.
This is an amazing movie, it's one of my all-time-favorites. One of the few good movies where Nicholas Cage actually gets to show his tremendous acting skills.
@nosuchthing8 cool story bro didn't not specify race here (because I don't care about that) and that's not the problem. Just think that deal was weighted heavily russias favor.
I was doing some volunteer work at William Penn University in Iowa. Quakers school. Some of my Quaker friends had matching event shirts. Apparently when designing the shirt, a student used a random figure in a tricorn hat. To bad it was a minuteman complete with musket. I enjoyed pointing that gun out in mock amazement. They put up with me and we got a lot of work done. I never saw any of those nice new t-shirts again though. :)

Used it more because it is a silly idea that kids have until they read history and start to understand how the world at large really works later down in life once they keep up with politics, conflicts and current agendas. Kind of like seeing life from a tinted glass then stepping around it later and being hit in the face by the harsh truth. History is full of such cases from the time we went from cavemen to medieval men and discovered weaponry and medieval warfare. I just think you ideal is unreachable, absurd and too far fetched to be reliably applied in society, especially modern ones. A dream with no solid foundation that has nothing to back it up.
@Dusty Rhodes Real yes but also dated. The overall levels of conflict in Africa and for that matter the rest of the world have fallen dramatically over the last 30 years.
@Home Kitchen I hope you are right. It would be so much easier to not try. And if nothing comes out of gathering data and using math on it then the world is so unpredictable its not worth it. I desperately want to stop trying but I just can't manage it yet. Maybe one day I can join you.
@Home Kitchen So then do you have a specific reason you think the stats showing that the number of deaths per person due to violence in Africa falling is false?
@@peterisawesomeplease Not untrue, but that comment is going to date itself in the next 5-10 years. Egypt, Turkey, India, China, Uzbekistan, Russia... Not to mention the half dozen organized terrorist incursions that are starting to rear up again. I hate to be the bearer of bad news... But expect a cold war within 10 years major water-wars within 15 years, and a large-scale one within the next 30. Tensions are building, tensions which haven't been seen since World War 1. Major and minor powers across Asia and the Middle East are looking for an excuse for war.
Nobody in the room bought it, but they appreciated his effect to remain professional. Ultimately it didn't matter that he was shocked and horrified, it mattered that he was still prepared to do business with people who shock and horrify him.
It's truly amazing how long you can live with about a dozen bullets through the center of your chest, if you're a main character. The extras die instantly with one shot that goes somewhere near a shoelace.
If the bullets miss your heart and major arteries, you can live for quite a while after being shot. It's not common, but there's been some shootings where the perp is hit a dozen times and keeps going for a few more minutes.
yeah they don't want to bore you with slow deaths of an endless amount of non main characters, but in reality their deaths are slow too. speaking of it, I'm disappointed that in the scene with the mother and child hacked to death with machetes, when they showed them lying dead on the ground, they didn't show any blood, cuts or severed body parts.
That last scene is so brutally honest about how the world actually works that im surprised it even got made. You'd think some of the hollywood/Washington elite would rather keep details like that a little less talked about.
At its heart it is honest but its so oversimplified its almost a lie. Yes the US government is the largest seller of weapons and yes we often sell those weapons to people we know will do evil with them. That part is true. But the democratic process does at least to a degree control the damage. A world without restrictions on arms on sales would be even worse. The character is wrong that evil simply prevails. The amount of human suffering per person has fallen dramatically over time and will continue to fall. The people trying weather its the kid giving his life to stop on masacer, or the cop catching the arms dealer, or the voter who considers the value of their vote carefully are slowly buy powerfully making a difference. Its easy to see to corona virus or Trump and think no progress is being made but those are blimps. There has never been more freedom, lack of poverty, and peace per person in history than there is today.
@Daniel the Maniel I can see that you have a very Western centrist view of the world. In most of the world incomes per amount of work have risen dramatically over the last 30 years. The US is an exception where median income have stayed stagnant. This is a stunning problem but its not gotten worse. Median incomes in the US have not fallen. We have also made tons of progress on human rights. There has never been more opportunities for non-whites, LGTB people and women. There are still many problems. But we are making progress.
Eh, that line lost its punch after Orlov pointed out that Valentine’s victories were all Pyrrhic and that nothing he does in the world will ever make a difference. After such a ball kick to the ol idealism, if all Valentine could come up with was “waahh go to hell”, I would not be impressed.

After 7 years of struggle, Andre Baptiste was finally able to instill discipline among his countrymen and women. The rest as they say is history. In retrospect though all this violence was unnecessary. All he had to do was to ban MTv.
😂😂 I’ve always loved this scene! Guns guns everything goes! Man Nickolas did an amazing job in this movie... Really no one that could replace his role in this.
This movie is so good, one of my favorites. Such a shame that it wasn't much of a success when it came out lo those many years ago. I hope that thanks to clip postings like this, a new audience generation will find their way to enjoy it. The opening sequence alone is worth the cost of buying/renting/streaming it. Also, the part where he gives away the cargo to the locals should have run longer to include the part where the plane gets stripped until there is nothing left of it.
the movie is super heavy in ideas that many people find dist tastfull. as such i dont think it will ever be a main stream movie. but just like requim for a dream, it will last the test of time as a "you got to watch this" movie. many will only watch it once. but it will stay with them. hope your day is the best today and tomorrow, and your gole work out.
It's about an actual character - Viktor Bout - former USSR army officer. Interesting fact: in 2008 was captured in Bangkok and in 2009 extracted to USA. In 2022 was exchanged for Brittney Griner and Paul Whelan that were kept in russian prison convicted of spy activities in Russia. He is one of this kind of people who you would not want to stay in the way, never ever in any circumstances.
This movie, director, crew and Cage are beyond awesomeness. It doesn't age and still relevant today. You know its a good movie when it makes the audience likes the "bad guy" better than the incorruptible agent.
8:03 I know this is supposed to be a serious, dramatic scene... but that guy holding the gun sideways with that facial expression cracks me up every time.
One of his best roles. And one of the best movies of my childhood...I'm actually sad most kids these days won't watch a movie like this, simply because it's "old".
@@mortem-tyrannis not 90 but 80% which is still high as hell. It was a test to see how effective tsa was and as I said, about 70 to 80% of weapons, explosives, and other things dangerous made it through airport security.
When Valentine started to lean over at the end, the clip cut him off before he said "I would tell you to go to hell, but I think you're already there."
9:27 the warlord in this moment had great amounts of honor and respect. the look he gives yuri is the warrior’s respect. in a way, the warlord was saying through his look: you’re a soldier now.
Baptiste had an odd sense of morality. Before wiping out an entire village of unarmed civilians, he calmly completed the arms deal with the brother of the man who killed his own son. He didn't even seem angry about it, nor was he inclined to just whack Yuri and take everything. I guess the eye for an eye deaths made everything square to him.
No he is delusional alright. The fact of the matter is, the "necessary evil" is always replaceable. And the bigger evil can pretend justice has been served.
And yet, what’s better than replaceable, but reliable? That’s why he got out of 98% of the shit he got in. He never seemed to have perfect, what he did have was steady, consistent, reliable and functional product that, at the end of the day _might_ do some good, will do some evil, and frankly does what it’s told.
He has a lot of connections and he is really good at what he does, he can't just be easily replaced. That's why they literally let him walk away after he got caught. He's not delusional. He KNOWS he's a war asset for the very president that the agent is working for. Thus the quote "i'm a necessary evil"
Only problem is, you need a bigger evil to begin with, and even if you find him, you have no garantee he'll do a better job than the first "necessary evil" you want to dispose of
Maybe, but he's known. He's reliable, he's traceable, and he doesn't outright hate the US. Get rid of him, and maybe someone who HATES the US takes his place and they go out of their way to hurt US allies or US installations. The US tolerates him because he sells equally. If he was strictly anti-US then they'd care. Then they'd let him rot in jail.
Man Nicolas Cage was on fire right here..... Nick Cage has these years where he pumps out bunch of really great movies, and a few years of disappointments.... Remember when he made The Rock and Con Air.... He also made Lord of War and The Weatherman in the same year, and I think he did a great job in both,....
Both this film, and Kickass (and Raising Arizona if we're gonna go back a bit) are just perfect for Nicholas Cage... They make the best of, and elevate his ridiculously over the top acting style to a degree that is just brilliant! Edit: "Bullets, Guns, Grenades... Hooray!" -Demonic Santa Claus from Hell
Raising Arizona is my very favorite movie of all time!!!! The Coen Brothers best film in my opinion because it was so underrated. It deserved so much more praise than it got.
Though movies are fictional but such movies as Lord Of War isn't totally fictional, Such movies influence vast majority of world and such movies always maneuver history events. Nothing closer to reality.
The last decent movie Nicolas Cage has made. Now he is making turds like his latest movie Jiu Jitsu about an alien that shoots ninja stars.....can't wait to watch it.
and lets not forget the five nights at freddy movie he's doing. Although i think that will be a chance for him to act with some emotion. There is a strange parallel between being locked in willys wonderland, and him being locked in debt.
For those interested. This movie is based off an actual real life Russian man. His name is Viktor Anatolyevich Bout. He is nicknamed " Merchant of Death " & "Sanctions Buster", for his reported wide-reaching operations, extensive clientele, and willingness to bypass embargoes. The white house wishes to free him to Russian authorities in exchange for Brittney Griner.
You can't stop massacres. You try to prevent them before it comes to that. Improve education, create a farming industry, more jobs, kill any wouldbe warlords, build hospitals, eliminate any rebels, build infrastructure, make an example out of terrorists, improve safety and encourage a family structure. Start with the simple things.
It's funny because I've been looking at The Dark Knight Rises clips -- particularly, Bane -- and Bane uses the same "I'm necessary evil" line as Nick Cage at the end of this. Just found that interesting.

Given how many unarmed civilians got wholesale murdered in Sierra Leone, he probably did them a favor.
He gave them a chance to protect themselves.
😂😂 I’ve always loved this scene! Guns guns everything goes! Man Nickolas did an amazing job in this movie... Really no one that could replace his role in this.

Thats not how you spell Nicholas
@bum bam Ah, you fixed it
@bum bam right on bro 💯
Nick Coltrane Thanks for the correction. There are one of you in every social group. You make the world of spelling a better place...
'They are firing bullets at our bullets' - best line ever

I would tell you to go to hell..But it looks like you're already there..
I see everyone on the road graduated from the Prometheus school of running away from things
What
"Some guy in a red shirt would be excellent at CinemaSins" *ding*
At least they had the excuse of being on the road.
I don't think they've graduated from any schools
*ding*
Can't wait for the sequel.
We need a scene where he watches the wnba and laughs
🤣
Gets slapped by will smith
This movie was a box office disappointment so, I don't think you'll be getting one.
Came out the first week of December. The plot was the corrupt US govt exchanged him for a useless piece of poop.
This movie is so good, one of my favorites. Such a shame that it wasn't much of a success when it came out lo those many years ago. I hope that thanks to clip postings like this, a new audience generation will find their way to enjoy it. The opening sequence alone is worth the cost of buying/renting/streaming it.
Also, the part where he gives away the cargo to the locals should have run longer to include the part where the plane gets stripped until there is nothing left of it.
No real romance
the movie is super heavy in ideas that many people find dist tastfull. as such i dont think it will ever be a main stream movie. but just like requim for a dream, it will last the test of time as a "you got to watch this" movie. many will only watch it once. but it will stay with them.
hope your day is the best today and tomorrow, and your gole work out.
It's about an actual character - Viktor Bout - former USSR army officer. Interesting fact: in 2008 was captured in Bangkok and in 2009 extracted to USA. In 2022 was exchanged for Brittney Griner and Paul Whelan that were kept in russian prison convicted of spy activities in Russia.
He is one of this kind of people who you would not want to stay in the way, never ever in any circumstances.
He was right about getting released. It just took 10 years is all.
15 actually, but you're right. The Russians never forgot about their man.
"Bullets, guns, grenades, hooray!" Fuckin helluva marketing slogan
best dialogue, "your president is the biggest merchant who ships more arms in a day than i do in an year".......
This was one of my favourite movies of all time. Made nicholas cage a legend in my mind.
"WHY DID YOU DO THAT? How am i supposed to sell that now? Its a used gun..." nice save...
That's what really saved him
This movie, director, crew and Cage are beyond awesomeness. It doesn't age and still relevant today. You know its a good movie when it makes the audience likes the "bad guy" better than the incorruptible agent.
"hes gonna get whats comming to him" yeah a nice plane ride to Russia in exchange for a "basketball player"
Some fucking drugged out silverback female for legendary gun dealer. Its such insult that i would rather stayed in a pen instead
This movie aged well
They're firing boolets at our boolets.
xD
@@argiberico Putin created his own dictionary
8:50 R.I.P Dr. Michael Morbius, Gone but not forgotten.
the final morb..... 😔✊🏻
Hey now we can make part 2 of this movie now that Viktor is released
Yep!
8:03 I know this is supposed to be a serious, dramatic scene... but that guy holding the gun sideways with that facial expression cracks me up every time.
One of his best roles. And one of the best movies of my childhood...I'm actually sad most kids these days won't watch a movie like this, simply because it's "old".
True, they would rather watch Ironman 😔
@@paramount7616 Iron man came out 3 years after this movie... I love them both.
The Rock was good too
Most kids won't watch it because it's not "woke"
Most of you are delusional
... "I would tell you, to go to Hell, but i think you are already there."
Reeee
Watching this after all these years, I realize how astonishing this is.
It's insane that people thought you could get glocks through metal detectors when all the barrel and trigger components, slide rails are metal.
Some people are idiots.
Sadly enough metal detectors fail to detect weapons 90% of the time in a test.
@@hunteradams6783 damn! Really? That's a awful high failure rate to trust them in airports, banks, ect.
@@mortem-tyrannis not 90 but 80% which is still high as hell. It was a test to see how effective tsa was and as I said, about 70 to 80% of weapons, explosives, and other things dangerous made it through airport security.
@@tunasandwich8049 that's some crazy shit
When Valentine started to lean over at the end, the clip cut him off before he said "I would tell you to go to hell, but I think you're already there."
2:33 they're firing bullets at our bullets
Gets me everytime
9:27 the warlord in this moment had great amounts of honor and respect. the look he gives yuri is the warrior’s respect. in a way, the warlord was saying through his look: you’re a soldier now.
Baptiste had an odd sense of morality. Before wiping out an entire village of unarmed civilians, he calmly completed the arms deal with the brother of the man who killed his own son. He didn't even seem angry about it, nor was he inclined to just whack Yuri and take everything. I guess the eye for an eye deaths made everything square to him.
One of the most memorable movies I've seen. Nic Cage at his best...
“Who will know?” “We will.” Fantastic writing
_They're firing bullets at our bullets!_
Fucking love this movie
My oh my this movie aged well especially after recent events.
Nicolas Cage:
- Nearly kills people when the pilot landed the plane
- Gives away weapons to African kids
What a wholesome guy
Bro’s gonna cause a coup
i love nicholas cage, and would like to see him in epic movies again... One of my fav actor.
'personally i blame MTV' possibly the most insightful line in the entire movie
"There are 550 million firearms in the world today. That's 1 gun for 12 people on the planet. The question is: how do we arm the other 11?"
“They’re firing bullitz at our bullitz” 💀🤣
When a RUSSIAN asks "Are you fucking mad?", it's time to re-evaluate your life
"He's gonna get what's comin' to him" "I'm not so certain". Truly prophetic lines.
Such a CRIMINALLY underrated movie
Nicholas Cage is one of the best actors there are !
That movie was a master piece
No he is delusional alright. The fact of the matter is, the "necessary evil" is always replaceable. And the bigger evil can pretend justice has been served.
And yet, what’s better than replaceable, but reliable? That’s why he got out of 98% of the shit he got in. He never seemed to have perfect, what he did have was steady, consistent, reliable and functional product that, at the end of the day _might_ do some good, will do some evil, and frankly does what it’s told.
you cant replace decades of business contacts and trust built with paranoid dictators just like that ...
He has a lot of connections and he is really good at what he does, he can't just be easily replaced. That's why they literally let him walk away after he got caught. He's not delusional. He KNOWS he's a war asset for the very president that the agent is working for. Thus the quote "i'm a necessary evil"
Only problem is, you need a bigger evil to begin with, and even if you find him, you have no garantee he'll do a better job than the first "necessary evil" you want to dispose of
Maybe, but he's known. He's reliable, he's traceable, and he doesn't outright hate the US. Get rid of him, and maybe someone who HATES the US takes his place and they go out of their way to hurt US allies or US installations. The US tolerates him because he sells equally. If he was strictly anti-US then they'd care. Then they'd let him rot in jail.
its one of those movies where the sound effects and music are cranked to 120 dB but the voice is clutched to 13 dB
This is definitely my pick for Mr. Cage's finest performance ever, this role of his is my favourite and i haven't even scene the movie yet.
He’s not evil he’s just reality.
An reality is evil.
I love how the pilot and copilot are flying the plane at the same time
Depending on the size of the plane, as well as the age it might take both to control that beast.
"I'd tell you to go to hell, but I think you're already there."
Thanks for cutting the best line in the movie
0:47 i think nicolai pretty quickly managed to disguise his disgust towards the sadistic baptiste with professional salesmanship
Yeah! That's quick thinking right there
Man Nicolas Cage was on fire right here..... Nick Cage has these years where he pumps out bunch of really great movies, and a few years of disappointments.... Remember when he made The Rock and Con Air....
He also made Lord of War and The Weatherman in the same year, and I think he did a great job in both,....
This movie has one of the best uses of voiceovers.
I love this movie, it's so wholesome how he's giving back to those in need ❤
Looks like Chicago.
1:00 "Are you going to throw hot brass into my eyes or what?"
This movie should have gotten all of the Oscar's in every aspect.
one of the greatest movies in histoty ever
and underrated
nowadays its would get an Oscar 100%
Both this film, and Kickass (and Raising Arizona if we're gonna go back a bit) are just perfect for Nicholas Cage... They make the best of, and elevate his ridiculously over the top acting style to a degree that is just brilliant!
Edit: "Bullets, Guns, Grenades... Hooray!"
-Demonic Santa Claus from Hell
Raising Arizona is my very favorite movie of all time!!!! The Coen Brothers best film in my opinion because it was so underrated. It deserved so much more praise than it got.
Though movies are fictional but such movies as Lord Of War isn't totally fictional, Such movies influence vast majority of world and such movies always maneuver history events. Nothing closer to reality.
The last decent movie Nicolas Cage has made. Now he is making turds like his latest movie Jiu Jitsu about an alien that shoots ninja stars.....can't wait to watch it.
Watch Mandy
Meh. He was pretty decent in Mandy and Color out of space.
They fucking wasted him on Jiu Jitsu.
and lets not forget the five nights at freddy movie he's doing. Although i think that will be a chance for him to act with some emotion. There is a strange parallel between being locked in willys wonderland, and him being locked in debt.
His remake of "Bad Lieutenant" and the movie "JOE" are also really good.
I see Nicolas Cage screaming in a thumbnail, I click.
Yuri’s brother is a superhuman , needed so many AK rounds to put him down
For those interested. This movie is based off an actual real life Russian man. His name is Viktor Anatolyevich Bout. He is nicknamed " Merchant of Death " & "Sanctions Buster", for his reported wide-reaching operations, extensive clientele, and willingness to bypass embargoes. The white house wishes to free him to Russian authorities in exchange for Brittney Griner.
No its not. You are simply lying
@@atillaerdem9876 you are simple unable to access google
Gotta love when nic cage actually tries in a movie he does.
Man, Chief Boden was a scary guy back in his younger days. I get why Firehouse 51 respects him so much.
"The moral of the story? Never go to war....especially with yourself."
One of the GOAT movies from Cage.
You can't stop massacres. You try to prevent them before it comes to that.
Improve education, create a farming industry, more jobs, kill any wouldbe warlords, build hospitals, eliminate any rebels, build infrastructure, make an example out of terrorists, improve safety and encourage a family structure.
Start with the simple things.
The look on his face when the general knocks always gets me 🤣 sorry bro the world is more evil than you think
It's funny because I've been looking at The Dark Knight Rises clips -- particularly, Bane -- and Bane uses the same "I'm necessary evil" line as Nick Cage at the end of this. Just found that interesting.
07:30 Believe me, that's the MOST HEROIC SCENE I've ever seen.
Heroes sacrifice for a purpose; Vitaly's death served no purpose. IOW, your concept of heroism is deeply flawed.
"you called me an evil. but unfortunately for you, I am necessary"
"Let me tell you what's going to happen, this way you prepare yourself" 🤣
I miss the old days. Great movies back then. Lord of War, Blow, Boondock Saints and some more.
Will have to give those films a watch
Are they similar to Lord of war ?
@@Ravager4561 One is about a Warlord, one is about a Drug Lord and the last one is about 2 Servants from the Lord himself.
