@@MrDarksword123 exactly! That’s why they had to make him look “tame” or some “nice guy” who worked at Home Depot. That helps to balance his character as he struggles remaining this way based on the promise of his late wife.
The guy who gets the hook through his chin is the best kill in the whole franchise in my opinion. I love the way denzel just stares at his eyes as he hangs suspended in the air taking his last breathe.
The Russian Mob boss deserves some respect honestly, he was the only villain who truly recognized and appreciated McCall’s skill and tactics. Throughout the entire movie he’s always aware of McCall’s strategy and mentions how dangerous he really is. From the very start he could already tell that McCall wasn’t going to be an easy problem to fix
Despite the beard dude being sort of a henchman to the main villain he was the most strongest villain to ever face Denzel in the whole franchise as far as I can tell
The guy with the long beard (Tait Fletcher) has been killed by The Equalizer, John Wick, The Accountant and a raptor in Jurassic World. He may not be good at being a bad guy, but his work ethic is outstanding.
Having worked in a big box home improvement store and being familiar with the layout, I can say that the bad guys never stood a chance, because Denzel flat out teleported around that store.
Yes, I love how the highly trained bad guys in these movies always split off by themselves so the good guy can quietly pick them off one by one. So stupid.
@@leestringer Splitting up means covering more ground. Staying huddled together at all times can be a great defense, but also a great weakness. In this case they are on the opponents playground. He knows the field better than all of them and so has the advantage. They are dealing with a foe who has the many places to hide under the cover of darkness. Staying together just makes them slower, and the objective is to kill the hero before the hero can kill them. The longer they take to move about as a group, the more time it gives the hero to plan ahead.
McCall is extremely good, but Ralphie has the biggest set of balls on him. He went back into a store full of trained killers, only one of which was on his side, despite having no real combat skills of his own. My man has the loyalty of Samwise Gamgee in him.
I feel bad for the guy with the epic beard, he's fought Keanu Reeves, Ben Affleck, and now Denzel Washington. Does the actor like getting killed in these movies? 😂
Tait Fletcher - stunt actor and ex MMA Contender - shares those skills with Jay Hieron, who was up against Washington in EQ2, however Fletcher resembles Garrett Golden (Kovac in EQ2 - also an ex Navy SEAL), of course there's no physical activity contact with Kovac and McCall in the movie : definitely looking forward to seeing the next installment in September.
6:25 Saw that right hook a mile a way.That takedown was enough to knock McCall out. That henchman shouln't have let hold go. He squeeze it with his strength, lights out for McCall.
One of the best movie scenes is the one with the sprinklers going and Denzel coming in and recharging that machine single handed - I love everything about how that was filmed. It’s just brilliant He is such an epic actor - and it’s all in the subtly of expressions and ways he can hold you in a scene without even saying a word.
I just love how he traps the bad guys into the killing pit. They aren't hunting him... He's hunting them! As soon as those doors closed, they were f*cked! They just didn't know it 😂
No matter how bad you think you are, there is always some one else better or badder! I know that isn't a word but I used to remind every one on my team of this.
There's absolutely NO DOUBT that these 3 Equalizer movies are some of Denzel's best work. And after seeing all 3, I can't decide which one is my favorite. For the longest time, I thought this first movie was my favorite but the second film has REALLY grown on me. All great movies, though!
i loved the fact that denzel could've EASILY bit the guys nose pinning him down to fres himself, yet he just went for a simple glass stab, really shows how cool he is
That hand to hand fight took over a minute. You could probably run through a Home Depot end to end in less time. A lot of absurd scenes in this movie but Rule of Cool prevails and those scenes actually elevate the movie even more.
yeah you could run from end to end down one of the aisles that go lengthwise through the store in idea conditions, but when you're playing a game of cat and mouse where the loser dies in the end and with potential booby traps at every turn, that probably wouldn't be the smartest idea.
This fight sequence was brutal and intense as both characters are equally strong professionals. Any slight mistake by either one of them would get the other killed. Robert Mc Call overcomes using his wit and by luck.
When the bald guy with the beard was wrestling Denzel, why didn’t he just call out for his teammates or something? Like, he could have gotten help from his boss.
I think he was too in the moment the fight happened very fast and both have very quick reaction times (McCall and bald guy). The bald guy was in fight or flight mode and quickly chose to fight. So calling for help was probably the last thing on his mind. He was angry about that first stab from behind with adrenaline pumping. Had he let his guard down even for a second to call for help Mcall couldve easily gotten the upper hand faster. Probably thought he could take McCall out by overpowering him, but McCall is too quick and cunning. He's the brains against braun and that dude found out the hard way 🤷🏽♂️
To me Denzel is one of the best actor of all time because he plays these roles so well you actual believe that he is like this in real life. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017 to find me.
6:33 They could've heard McCall screaming in pain and could've arrived sooner while that bald henchman has him pinned down. And once they do, they could've stripped McCall and tortured him using the tools he used to kill their team mates. Like blowtorching McCall's groin or something and make him scream and beg for his life for trying to be a bad ass.
6:54 McCall's ground game is very poor. He relies too much on his hands. He could've pulled guard on this position or went for the triangle choke or even attempt an armbar.
Staring into a face that calmly and dispassionately stares back at you while you are hanging by the neck on barbed wire and dying is probably disconcerting.
I love me some Denzel Washington, but for goodness sake when Robert McCall ask just give, when he stand u sit, if he walks then u run . When he speaks just listen . Don't let him have to repeat hisself because the situation will get ugly. 😂😂😂
He should've put on a mask, tights, trunks and a cape. He also should have letter E on his chest. His utility belt should comprise of tools he used to kill goons.
7:03 He should've remained in that position instead of going for the knife. McCall would've eventually lose his grip and gets stabbed or wait until Teddy and the rest of his posse arrive and torture McCall and make him beg for his life and feel sorry for trying to be a bad ass.
Robert's ground game is shit. Relies too much on his hands only. No kicks, knees, or even a headbutt. All his fancy hand to hand techniques were out the window the moment he's grounded.
Look, I like the Sam Fisher Style coolness. But our protagonist is in a survival situation against highly trained and armored soldiers. And he had at least 3 opportunities to take a fully automated and even silenced firearm. Instead he's getting shot and has to navigate a mine-fiield of superior firepower, making kills with tools. Looks cool Denzel is definitely the right guy to pull this off. But still: In my mind: I am constantly just screaming "TAKE THE Freakin GUN!"
It all begins in the first film, before that he was just a CIA or DIA (whatever they called it in the films) operative. It would be cool, but not an 'equalizer' film as he wouldn't have been equalising anything. Just Denzel playing a CIA operative
Shout out to the bearded guy, nobody has challenged McCall to that level ever since
When the good guy is scarier than the bad guy; what a terrific film.
Usually it's the other way around. Definitely not here.

Breath.
Did he get a hook through his chin, or was it a barbed wire noose? It looks like it's barbed wire wrapped around his throat hanging him.
same here.. looking at the eyes wow...

Drill kill comes in second place

I saw his acting career it’s quite impressive. Kinda wanna see Tait Fletcher be a lead in an action film
Fun fact the raptor in Jurassic world said “Fletcher was such a good actor it’s like he was really dying from my bite”

This is by far my favorite Denzel movie. All of the Equalizer movies are great, but this one was awesome
Ralphie is my hero: "You said, leave nobody behind." And he didn't.
USA!
🫡 mvp
I love this part of the movie, where Denzel Washington takes out every bad guy in darkness. One by one.
9:42 - Except microwaves don't work like that. Turning on the power to it would have it flashing to set the clock! LOL.
Ralphie did so good, what a champ.
6:25 Saw that right hook a mile a way.That takedown was enough to knock McCall out. That henchman shouln't have let hold go. He squeeze it with his strength, lights out for McCall.
What I don’t get is that the henchman had a AR gun with him during the whole fight he could’ve just take him down and got up and use that AR
Vengeance...Zack Hemsley
Perfect music !!!
Yes First song called Vengeance album the way zack Hemsey 2011
The whole intensity, build-up, paired with the vengeance track in the back is beyond amazing. Easily the best equalizer is the first.
What I like about movies is that there are heroes who don't die While in reality they are afraid of everything Even from their shadows
The music was perfect for this scene! Amazing ending

Everyone loves it when Denzel takes out the trash.
Announcement: This movie was officially sponsored by Black & Decker.

I just love how he traps the bad guys into the killing pit. They aren't hunting him... He's hunting them! As soon as those doors closed, they were f*cked! They just didn't know it 😂
Now, youse can’t leave
True, and no mention of how the Microwave started automatically after the power came back ... Worse that we didn't see the finish.

No matter how bad you think you are, there is always some one else better or badder! I know that isn't a word but I used to remind every one on my team of this.
The word is worse.
He didn’t just kill these thugs…..he destroyed them! In very unconventional ways.

This one definitely head and shoulders above the rest
His fight with Tait Fletcher was fire, the only one who made him struggle...
Any one else feel like this is a way more intense version of the home alone traps Kevin McAllister set for Marv and Harry?
This was the best one out of the 3
That wasn’t a battle. That was a one sided slaughter fest.
The fight with the bald dude was somewhat evenly matched, he made him struggle.
For real too boring and the bad guys had to be stupid for no reason
better villain and best hero...I love this director for easy plot and execution................
i loved the fact that denzel could've EASILY bit the guys nose pinning him down to fres himself, yet he just went for a simple glass stab, really shows how cool he is
Besides all of the great action scenes my favourite scene has to be the "Brick by Brick" scene..Just brilliant
I love it when Bad Guys have fear.
5:54 was a worthier opponent than the villain in Equalizer 3
The bald guy or the Russian boss?
@@theoldschoolgameschannel9715 bad guy
And Russian boss haha
Glad I wasn't the only one that thought the final fight in the 3rd movie was too easy.
@@HybridDolphin I agree. To be honest, the Russian boss is my favorite villain of all the equalizer movies.
Btw what do you guys think about Denzel Vs Pedro Pascal? I think that fight was pretty epic too.
The first four stab wounds didn’t slow him but the final one did the trick
I didn't know microwaves just start counting down if you turn the power on.
That hand to hand fight took over a minute. You could probably run through a Home Depot end to end in less time. A lot of absurd scenes in this movie but Rule of Cool prevails and those scenes actually elevate the movie even more.
