Anyone else become a bigger fan of Elijah after watching this?
+Alfred Rosenberg I'd carry his babies if I could. In a completely heterosexual way of course.
+Alfred Rosenberg i never liked him, he is in the same league as Wil Wheaton to me. That said I like some of his younger roles, like in Radio Flyer
Ps: i haven't wached this episode yet so my opinion may change
+Orion Pax did it?
+Alfred Rosenberg Yes! Please Screen Junkies, bring him back soon!
Raxa Cory
It did actually, he was a great contestant and seemed like a good guy. I cant say what movie turned me off to the actor originally, I just know it was prior to lotr films
Elijah Wood is probably the most enjoyable guest that's been on this show. He made it seem so much more light-hearted and pleasant
We need more of these nice, fair, well-mannered, light-hearted fights.
Agreed.
this is so true!
+SpawnRevenge92 I think it's because Hal wasn't there
+SpawnRevenge92 agreed too!!
Agree. :)
"Star Wars would kill Sean Bean if they had the chance."
Greatest fkn quote right there.
Zwaxor when does it say that?
brb looking up Sean Bean lightsaber deaths
@@deltanstudios5008--Nick says it at 18:50
@@PaulSmith-sb7sj two years too late for me remembering i asked this question but thanks nonetheless
Two things:
1)I wish they chose questions that weren't associated with Elijah (Kinda awkward)
2)I hope Elijah meant it when he said he'd loved to come back. (He was so refreshing)
+Leah James
I doubt he will. He seemed slightly miffed towards the end.
+Leah James it would have been so funny if he had said: And that's why I sucked in Radio Flyer...
+Talga Vassternich I can't be the only one who thinks that Mundy is just a fat stupid douchebag. he looks like and kind of acts like the kind of guy who mocks on nerds^^
+Leah James It's so comforting to see these other replies here from the likes of kingking and Talga... I pretty much can't stand Nick Mundy, I am continually utterly baffled that apparently so much of the audience seems to have such love for him. This fight here (and mind you I'm not even finished it yet), this is like a perfectly fitting example of why he's so annoying. He actually seems sort of troll-ish, now I think about it. He so often comes up with absolutely preposterous, out of left field picks or arguments for things, but then even his usual style and attitude of his argument making I find so tiring. And then the perfect cherry on top of this, that the dude is sincerely as massive a fan of wrestling as he is. *sigh*... yes, of course he is...
+BadPennyFilms I mean, I agree with you ( I would have used nicer words). But I honestly believe that when Nick is there, it's because everyone else was busy. And their all good friends and don't wanna exclude him. Whenever I see Nick on the show I never expect him to win he's just there for laughs. For me anyway. But don't be too hard on him. He did help create the show.
Elijah and Dan seem like childhood best friends. I love it!
I enjoyed Elijah's presence...his knowledge is great!
Agreed, possibly my favorite guest on the show
he's so eloquent. It's beautiful.
Hеrе is rеallуууу full аnd good quаality Rings => twitter.com/dbf2eee3ace1426b8/status/791862191431364608 Best Lоooоrd ооf thе Rings MMоvieeее Feаt Elijаh Wоod MОVIЕ FIGHTS
I'm very impressed with Elijah. Intelligent, well informed and eloquent. And a nice guy as well.
Frodo is a great Movie Fighter. He can tell his oppinion without screaming or swearing. If all of you could do that, I wouldn't mind kids listening to the podcast. :)
And he didn't need to mention magic shrooms or getting laid in his arguments at all.
+Bindair Dundat I think Nick forgot, in battle royale there's this a punk student who loves smoking... he died.
+Bindair Dundat You can tell he actually loves cinema, He is on par with Dan which is saying a lot!
+Bindair Dundat And throwing a pen at Andy. That didn't happen. I'd prefer the screaming and swearing to physical assault :P
+Bindair Dundat IT'S ABOUT CHRISTMAS!!!
Classic episode. I come back to this one often.
Talking Thrones lol did not expect to see you here
Here in 2021
@@islandurth Me, too
I like that unlike so many fanboys, Elijah is capable of dropping some serious cultural historical facts and yet he's still able to geek out and be a fan. That's so refreshing to see when most fan debates about movies, shows, and comics, consist of biased opinions and arguments lacking in-depth knowledge. You should have had him defend "The Hobbit" movies. That would have been entertaining!
Elijah Wood is so well spoken and knowledgeable. Plus, he makes a ton of solid and valid points throughout his comments. I also agree with him on his choice as to what is the best LOTR movie in the trilogy. Fellowship was just the best!
Man, he is extremely articulate. A lot of actors/actresses are not as well spoken.
He's much more intellectual than other mainstream actors.
Eagle Cohort Indeed.
+Ernie Velveeta He knows his shit, listen the nerdist podcast with him in it, he's great there.
+Ernie Velveeta Can you give an example of an actor/actress who isn't well spoken?
+Eilton Ribeiro That's not even hard, there are a ton. Gwyneth Paltro, Marlin Wayans, Adam Sandler, and Megan Fox are just a few I can list off the top of my head.
I loved Elijah's "IT'S ABOUT CHRISTMAS!" laugh
+Walter Shmitty so funny haha
+Walter Shmitty IYTS A BOUT CHRISTMAS BALAHAHAHAHA
+Walter Shmitty I laughed to that bit over and over again. LOL
+Walter Shmitty YEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!
+Walter Shmitty Yeah I know I had to rewind it Three times! It's so funny.
appear on movie fights? elijah would.
Ha ha I get it!!!!!
ha.
OAKay that was a good one! We should probably LEAF this alone. Let's BRANCH off from this conversation. But I don't know what else to think of... I'm STUMPED........ Sigghhhhh
You sound like a "sap"
lol
Dan was so happy the entire fight.
+Marvin8861 He was like a kid on Christmas sitting next to Elijah.
I would too.....I mean it's FRODO BAGGINS FOR FUCKS SAKE LMAO
What fountain of youth does Elijah Wood drink from?
+BMoneyrulz Probably some magic elvin fountain...
From the same fountain that Robert Downey Jr. drinks from...
The One ring
+BMoneyrulz The same one that Keanu Reeves drinks from
+BMoneyrulz The same one Jared Leto drinks from.
I'm even more of a fan of Elijah Wood after watching this. He's like the antithesis of Max Landis really down to earth with no pretension or ego detected.
I love this analysis. That guy was incredibly to much.
great analisis man. Max, Elijah and Stuckman in a fight would be awesome. Dan judging and Andy Fact checking.
great analisis man. Max, Elijah and Stuckman in a fight would be awesome. Dan judging and Andy Fact checking.
I agree on the being a fan of Elijah part, but I thought Max Landis was actually great. He had some of the best arguments I've seen on Movie Fights, and I didn't feel like he was pretentious, he was just very forward and blunt sometimes.
Elijah is kewl
IF THIS was called MOVIE FRIENDS and not movie fights Elijah would automatically win, he is just so nice!!!
+Fan Rage yeah bruh
It's because he found the fountain if youth dudr
hahahaha
but people complain when Max Landis comes on and brings a fight o.O
+Aadam Ahmed dude he was great just one thing i didn't like that he kept talking like way way to much, like i mean unfair it's movie fights where usually every body gets a chance he had great ideas but that dude can just steal the time, as a fighter you should be more conscious about that! i felt like sometimes andy would say dude please remember there's other fighters here!
Lord of The Rings is (To me) the best fantasy franchise out of all of the choices. The atmosphere, the approach, the lore and the realism. All of it put together blows Star Wars out of the water.
I understand that everyone has their own opinion but you have to admit that Game of Thrones can match up to Lord of the Rings because it is almost like a modern reimagining that feels more real yet you can love both however, Star Wars has always felt so cheesy and the characters are so cliched.
Tyrion Lannister Yes the political approach that GoT has to it is amazing yet I feel that LoTR has a more adventurous side to it, while also withholding the political standard. And plus I factor my choice a lot on lore/history and compared to GoT, Star Wars, Star Trek and Harry Potter the only one that comes close is Star Trek. But yes all in all Game of Thrones is a beautiful told story and a great world in general. Even though I prefer the show more than the books (Which you wont hear much)
Season 6 was basic fan fiction and the normies ate it up.
Why is level of realism an aspect in arguing the best FANTASY franchise? Fantasy is fantasy, doesn't need a bit of realism. Just sayin.
John Morgan It has fantasy themes but it could easily be a serious movie without the orcs and elves. In fact, it's based off the first world war.
Elijah is so funny, and the debates with Dan and how they respect each others opinions was great! Also, when Dan Says that it was like fighting himself it was hilarious!
+RickandMad I was thinking that myself and when he said it i cracked up.
+RickandMad I am Dan, too.
+RickandMad I love how nick is the complete opposite to them and it made some great comic relief among st the more reasonable arguments.
+Joshua Chia agreed, great movie fight
Elijah Wood still looks the same as he looked in Back to the Future Part II. The guy doesn't age at all.
Haha yes!!! I recognised him too
The ring it was the ring :D
his hair just recedes is all
+Tximino M What do you expect from a hobbit?
When was he in Back To The Future?
LOLed when Elijah threw something at Andy! Shows he has the passion for the fights!
+Derek Kunze Or he just doesn't like Andy lol.
SomethingCireMovies deff not after that ruling 😛
57:36
+Derek Kunze i saw ur comment and thought maybe he just tossed one of the toys at him, didnt expect for him to chunk a pen at his head o.o
Elijah Wood: "ITS ABOUT CHRISTMASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " I LOL'd so hard
Wow, first Max Landis and now Elijah Wood... I think we've learned that having movie-fanatic celebrities on Movie Fights leads to amazing episodes!
+TechJacket Agreed. I respect Dan (amazing at intelligently debating for things without fan glasses on), and I respect Alicia, but up until recently every other guest's arguments usually make me cringe. Having writers, actors, and people who really know the business from a perspective other than fandom is far more interesting to hear.
Yea Elijah and max landis worked together on the death and return of superman short movie,maybe that's how they were able to get them one after the other.
+Daniel Strong you missed Chris Stuckman. i like Mundy too but everyone else is annoying
Get Chris Pratt!
+TechJacket Yeah, Max Landis was awful but Wood was great
This is probably my favorite episode. Elijah is so eloquent and knowledgable! Seeing him and Dan interact was adorable, they seem to have a lot in common. I could see them being best friends talking about their favorite movies. Please have him come back!
1:03:56 Elijah's voice omg! Its the best part of this fight
+Tomiwa Aina ITS ABOUT CHRISTMAS!!!
ImmaKakarot1 *high pitched frodo voice*
His laugh though!!!!!!
+Tomiwa Aina sounds like Ricky Gervais
Onodera1980 I can see that xD
That was the best...Most relevant...Most exciting..Most polite...fairest movie fight ever....I didn't know Elijah Wood was SOOOO AWSOME
Imagine this: Crimson Peak comes out next month, so Guillermo del Toro makes an appearance in Movie fights, he's a huge nerd and a walking movie encycopedia, that could be fucking epic.
Elijah Wood was incredible, I love how passionate he is about movies, especially horror. Besides he has a great company that have been producing good films, one of them being the remarkable A Girl Walk Home Alone at Night.
I would love that, plus I think it would be cool to get some older fighters that bring different tastes and movie knowledge.
+The Wilfred but guillermo gas a very strong spanish accent. im a very big fan of him though
+Stolen. Yeah, but it's not like anyone couldn't understand him.
+Stolen.
his accent with nick mundy's... -stupid- sometimes incoherent speaking would be great
+The Wilfred One of the best episodes ever. Nick was on fire and Dan was even keeled and had great arguments as always. I wish every episode of Movies Fights was like this, more laid back, not too competitive and very funny. And yes, bring on Guillermo!
Elijah Wood arguing for Game of Thrones against Lord of the Rings. What the actual...
+Sailori7 .eXe Shut the fuck up. The "HURRRDURRR OPINIONS" card is so old and annoying. Yes people have different opinions but him arguing against it was still funny and ironic
+MrJedabak It would be kind of weird if he was all like "my movie franchise is the best."
+MrJedabak It would be kind of weird if he was all like "my movie franchise is the best."
+MrJedabak The benefit at not picking Lotr (and even the child actor question too) is that he knows best at arguing for or against it..either way id be worried
Just because he was in the movie, doesn't necessarily mean he'll defend it all the time. He got his pay checks over ten years ago.
Until now I didn't really have an opinion about Elijah Wood. To me he was just the guy who played Frodo, and that was it.
Now I want to go watch all his movies. He seems to be a really cool guy.
+H311fi5h Dude, his early movies are really good. I hope you do watch some more of his movies! The Good Son is still one of my favorite movies and in my opinion, many of his other films are really underrated.
Bring Elijah Wood Back

Bring Elijah Wood Back Soon

They did it!!!
"Lord of the Rings wouldn't exist without Star Wars" WTF?
+capenati Lol! It would be better to say that the LOTR films wouldn't be the same without Star Wars, since SW influenced all subsequent Fantasy/Sci-Fi films.
+lufctopgearmad I think he was trying to imply that but definitely failed. Plus Elijah brought up that Lucas meant to direct LOTR anyway, so that was a death-blow.
+capenati Do you know The Lord of the Rings ORIGINAL book trilogy was published in the 1950s, right? Two decades before George Lucas' Star Wars
Yeah the books were made before but it's the movies that were apparently influenced by Star Wars. I don't know if it's true or not I just heard right now.
Achmeron Yes I do, whats your point? I think you understood the opposite of my comment
best movie fights episode so far. good job Screen Junkies, had a lot of fun out of it.
+shahbaz khan P.S Elijah Wood was awesome.
+shahbaz khan can +Screen Junkies do an award for Best Guest Movie Fighter? and give it to Elijah?
+Aurora Esterlia it'd be really good if they do that.
Elijah Wood seems like the most well-balanced, friendly, sincere celebrity imaginable, especially as a former child star.
Damn Nick has balls... I would never dream of referring to Frodo as a "nine-fingered pansy" in the presence of Elijah Wood.
Well Elijah isn't Frodo so...
Imagine how good this would've been without the pleb Mundy in it. You have two very well spoken, bright people making great arguments, a great judge and and even betteer fact-checker and THEN this absolute trainwreck dragging it all down. Nick Mundy is the Jar-Jar Bings of Moviefights.
Nick mundy is the fucking worst. I was so excited for this episode until I saw that fat fucker
Yeah I think that Nick was doing the Fat Kid Comic Relief Shtick on purpose, he's so funny but if he wanted to fight seriously he would have been a tough number
+OpTicROASTBEEF like you wouldnt
+Lullu Edge They should've brought Spencer on.
Lol, #MundyTheJar-JarofMovieFights should be trend topic. Perfect Analogy my friend!
Frodo rocked in LOTR 1, best movie of the triology.
+etetepete agreed. It was hard for me to pick Fellow vs Two Towers (both my favs in the trilogy).. Helms deep is my all time fav battle scene, but aside that the story had some slow and dragged out spots. Nothing ever felt slow in Fellowship to me
A recommandation for the next show : " Best Batman Movie with Michael Keaton, Christian Bale and Ben Affleck - BATMOVIE FIGHTS ! "
Yeah right.
yeah
You forgot the best Batman of them all, George Clooney :)
they are the best
+Batman lol I just saw your comment on the Jimmy Fallon Donald Trump video.
Elijah is probably the calmest, most respectful, and most intelligent fighters in this series. They should have him more often.
This was one of the most fun episodes of Movie Fights to date. Elijah was a great guest star and it was funny seeing the screen junkies be a little star struck.
Nick's argument about high Pip was just superb. "It's Pip. Pip loves drugs. This Dude is gonna get high as shit!" xDDD
Also, I love how it was always kinda like Dan vs. Elijah with serious arguments and then Nick coming in with some hilariously insane stuff.
Yes and also because like Elijah said the ring is like a drug if it is a drug then Pip will be ready to kill for those drugs especially if he's already high
I think he's confusing pipeweed with bath salts.
Elijah Wood > Max Landis, such a pleasure to watch him debate so eloquently
Max Landis is shit
+randomer1432 I agree. I'm surprised so many people disliked Landis. I really liked his input and to see someone so passionate was a true breath of fresh air.
+Hayley S I think the only problem with Max Landis is that they didn't have the courage to stop him and say "look, try to be concise in your arguments, will you?". So out of politeness he spent, I think, 40 minutes talking about a superman fanfic. That was annoying =/
Elijah won his fellow ship fight even though I think that Return of the king is the best in the series Elijah gave the best reasons as to why he thought tfotr was the best.
this video made me want to rewatch the entire LOTR extended trilogy bc goddamn....those movies are a masterpiece
Two arguments that could've helped Andy with his Two Towers argument:
1. You can see how the rings starts to corrupt Frodo slowly, whereas in the first movie, he would only experience the occasional hypnosis from carrying the ring too long and in the third movie, you only see the result of the ring's corruption and influence over Frodo.
2. You can see the personal struggle between good and evil in Smeagle/Golem, as his good side fights to be free from his evil side, whereas in the first movie, it's mainly Golem and in the third movie, Golem had regained his influence over Smeagle(which you see happening in the second film).
+Max Kogan you mean Nick?
Andy is the host
Ahh, I always confuse the two.
+Max Kogan Also, in the Two Towers you can see Frodo realize that there is no going back for him, that the darkness and corruption in him will not go away and his life as he new it was over and the reason he wants to trust Gollum so much is because he thinks that by finding redemption in Gollum there is still hope in himself.
He didn't even mention the Ents attacking Isengard
Elijah really surprised me. He definitely knows his stuff and - maybe this makes him a bad fighter in some people's eyes but- he's very honest and doesn't forsake his true opinions for the sake of winning the fight. A true sport.
don't normally watch these because of their length but this was just so entertaining that i couldn't stop. Elijah must come back on the show it was really refreshing and funny
Thanks for bringing I'm Elijah Wood! He should totally return! Had a blast watching this episode! :)
Alicia should return! Always a blast watching her on the show. Would've loved to see how she answered some of the questions.
Movie Fights Topics:
1. Best movie with an X in the title
2. Best Performance by a non-human in a film
3. What is the worst movie by an Oscar-Winning Director?
4. What is the worst sex scene in a movie?
5. Which non-acting celebrity would make the best actor?
Or nah
+Hidious Vanity For the first question you know that everyone is gonna choose a x-men movie
+Patrizio Ferretti they already did that
Great ideas. I'd have to go with American History X for the first one, although it would be fun to see a fight about it.
+Geo that's what I was thinking
Is it just me, or does that guy next to Dan kinda look like Frodo?
I dont see it.
+A Dyers i'm pretty sure he looks like harry potter
+A Dyers Can't be! The guy who played Frodo would be much older today!
+A Dyers You're talkin' crazy, man. Frodo was played by The Rock and they look nothing alike.
Lol no you're stupid that's ridiculous
I'm surprised nobody mentioned Christian Bale in Empire of the Sun as a great child actor. He was fantastic in that.
I thought of him too. That movie is incredible. (Also is by Spielberg with a John Williams score)
I would have picked Samwise to win the brawl. He's deadly with a sword. Kills orcs. Wounds a giant spider, and fights off Gollum. Plus, he has the most passion when he fights.
+James Ito My thoughts exactly. Sam basically carries Frodo across the world.
ZDefinitely between Sam or Bilbo. I'd say Sam with the slight edge though
+James Ito When I first heard the question my first pick would have been Bilbo, for many of the same reasons Elijah changed his pick.... and I wonder who he was going with before he changed?
Hmmmmm...
+James Ito Don't forget his DEADLY frying pan skills.
Nick got absolutely destroyed by Elijah and Dan.
+yung letti To be fair, they sort of teamed up on him. They were too likeminded not to buddy up.
+narutardednerd They buddied up against him because Nick was basically a fish in a shark tank, his arguments were extremely poor most of the time, and Dan and Elijah know how to debate. You can even tell just by their mannerisms and the way they were talking.
+narutardednerd He really only beat 2 winnable answers. The Two Towers (and there he had to pick 1 of three) and Radio Flyer. The other ones were nearly joke answers. Arguably Die Hard was legit
I honestly sided with nick on a majority of the arguments. Well his arguments suck but his answers were good
Perfectly said Ezra. Mundy Fights, while entertaining, proves why he always loses. He picked his favorite insane answer and it seems like he either expects the same treatment or just doesn't care.
Elijah Wood was so fun to watch! He brought so much charisma and excitement to each fight! Thank you Elijah for coming through!
Fellowship is indeed the best LotR.
Elijah has the same opinion as me :)
+FreakieFan It's still my favorite movie. I just prefer the adventurous vibe the first film gives off to the more epic scale of the last two. Same with the books also, Id love to see the scene with Tom Bombadill and the Barrow Whights on screen though I'd rather they leave the TLOTR alone and don't reboot it.
The actors fit their roles perfectly, the only way I'd be happy seeing a new take on it would be a TV show that covers more of the book than the movies did.
Ripolt Totally agree with you, i prefer The Fellowship over the last 2, by a long shot IMO :P
And who the hell is trying to reboot tLotR?
Those movies cant be rebooted and should be left alone. It cant be surpassed
+Lt. Col. Frank Slade 100% agree. the beauty and mystery of the first film is like perfect. you see a lot but what you don't see is almost more valuable. things like Gandalf running to the white city to read text about the ancient ring, the mysterious Balrog demon in Moria, how gorgeous and (oddly?) relatable and homely the Shire is
I feel like Fellowship is by far the most complete film. the Two Towers ends with a bit of a cliffhanger (i.e. 'the war for Middle Earth now begins'), and The Return of the King debatably has some moments that went wrong from the books (the men of the mountain ghosts ehhh).
probably the biggest thing in The Fellowship of the Ring's favor (IMO) is the insanely well done pacing and build up. by the time you get to Rivendel (or later Moria) the viewer feels like they've actually journeyed around Middle Earth some
the personal experience was less there in the other films. also I would argue the intro to The Fellowship with Cate Blanchett narrating is possibly one of the best intros in film of all time
Derek Woods
I agree with you completely, tLotR is one of my all time favorite films (i do count them as one :p and i love all of them, but i prefer Fellowship )
My fav Elijah Wood performance was in the animated mini series Over the Garden Wall. Anyone who knows what that is, you know why :)
ohhh yes I totally agree
Yes! I loved over the garden wall!
I literally just finished binge watching the entire series. It was indeed amazing! and a very good performance from Elijah Wood.
+Alexander S. (AlphaAxle) Oh hey it's Wirt!
Who didn't love Greg
I found it so ironic when Elijah Wood picked Game of Thrones who stars none then Boromir. Great very humble dude not full of himself for not picking his film. I loved this episode, but you should've brought in Sean Astin , Billy and Dom that would be great
Solomon Grundy, born on a Mundy.
Haha. Good one.
What about Natalie Portman in Leon? I've never seen so much maturity in a child's performance
Jodie Foster in Taxi Driver
This was my favorite episode of movie fights
And I've seen them all
+Jacob Prindle Yup agreed! Favorite episode, and Elijah Wood is my favorite fighter so far! He's so well-spoken, enthusiastic and nice! Hope they'll bring him back
Best Movie Fights that I have seen. Elijah Wood is articulate and charismatic. It was very interesting to see him debate (and give points to the other side) about movies that are iconic, beloved and major part of Elijah Wood's life.
Merry or Pippin would win the battle royale, because they drank the ent draught and grew into XL hobbits.
DutchDread The mithril would definitely confer an advantage, if they were armed. If it was hand to hand combat, different story. Plus, Merry and Pippin both spent more time learning to fight and fighting than Frodo (Merry with Rohan and Pippin with Gondor).
+Yung Brizzy But Gollum/Smeagol can still bite your finger off - he doesn't need to be drunk or have weapons to be dangerous.
Not to mention his ability to scale walls, camouflage, see in the dark and hunt fish with his bear hands.
In the book, Gollum killed massive goblins/dwarves on his own in - what's to stop him from killing a few softy halflings?
I'm pretty sure Tom Bombadil is not a hobbit.
No he's not. Also I don't think he would win, because Tom Bombadil is (as I see it) a lot like Sam, the ring doesn't affect him as much because there's a lot of other things he cherishes more than power. So I think finally it comes down to Frodo and Smeagol, because the ring has mainly affected these two and is a strong motivator, the most important factor in this battle imo. And I do think Gollum would win, unless he makes a mistake. Because angry Frodo under the influence of the ring is just the kind of person who needs just one mistake to take advantage of and finish you (after all, he is way stronger than he thinks he is - in every sense of the term). So I pretty much agree with everything they say^^
Merry after Rohan would win.
Elijah needs to come back! This is by far my favorite Movie Fights. I've watched it over and over again!
Please bring HISHE on the show, they'd be perfect!
Possible Idea: Screen Junkies vs. HISHE vs. CinemaSins vs. SchmoesKnow! Battle galore! Just a crazy idea, of course. :D
+The Bartender From The Shining You suck
And CineFix!!!!!!
+The Bartender From The Shining Why are you here? you're obviously a troll
+Penguin Man (Penguin022) i cant believe they haven't brought HISHE so far..i mean they worked together before
nah man, they are creatively gifted but they wouldn't fare well in a debate format. See some of their vlogs and other content where they make an appearance.
Greatest Movie Fights episode I've ever watched. Elijah Wood was a fantastic addition and he was incredibly articulate and down to earth. Nick was hilarious as usual, Dan had a great fight, and Elijah has to come back for more fights! Great work Screen Junkies crew!
Literally, Elijah screeching "IT'S ABOUT CHRISTMAS!" makes me laugh everytime I replay it XD
46:27 - watching "Sixth Sense" again, you see that he, at first, is fearful of Bruce Willis's character, not because he thinks his mom hired someone to try to help him, but because he knows what he really is. I think it was brilliant the way both possibilities played out, but he warms up to him, enabling him to do likewise for others at the end.
Everyone is not "A fan of Star Wars" Just putting it out there that you can be a proud geek and not be a blind follower. I saw Star Wars when it first came out and thought it was amazing for the time. Empire is a good middle, Return is basically the first movie with teddy bears. Then you have the prequels. So 2 good movies out of 6. Anyone else out there or am I truly alone?
+Wombat JO Empire is much more than good. Everything else I agree with.
+Wombat JO I am a big fan of Star Wars as a phenomenon but I don't think they are the all time greats as they are made out to be, I also don't agree with Indiana Jones. Don't get me wrong I think they are good movies, I own them on Blu-Ray, but for me they are not the end all be all. Maybe I have a problem with nazis as the bad guy, huh?
+Debrim Aybar "problem with nazis as bad guys" lol!!
+Wombat JO I liked Empire and Return when i was a kid...yes i even liked the Ewoks (I was like 5-7)..Ewoks still dont bug me. Prequels had some good elements but there was too much crap to dig through to find
100% correct
lol Elijah Wood is so nice. A complete opposite to Max Landis
OMG, how does Elijah Wood look so young?? That's unpossible! He's only 34, folks, not 52!
lol the point is he looks exactly the same when he was 7
"Unpossible"
OpTicROASTBEEF It's a Simpsons reference.
+Whirlwind Spiral You are so smart, you are so smart. s.m.r.t I mean s.m.a.r.t.
+Whirlwind Spiral You smart, You Loyal, You gwateful
I appreciate that
Just to be perfectly honest, I think Elijah Wood is one of the best actors I've seen to date. Most of his acting, I think, really relies very much on his eyes. He's able to convey extreme emotions with them. I think that's why he eyes are talked about so much. And they are gorgeous.
My two favourites *and Elijah Wood*? YES!
+Steve Stevens Tell you what, I'd love to see Elijah or some other actual film star in Mundy Fights.
God no, never Mundy fights again
Why not invite Elijah Wood everytime and just talk movies? I could watch this all day!
please bring Elijah back. This was one of the best movie fights!
How come I can see Frodo when he's wearing the ring?
+Blaine Morgan i see what you did there
When will The Rock be a guest?
Topic: Best Dwayne ''The Rock'' Johnson movie.
+Kaiser I'd imagine Dwayne Johnson wouldn't be as modest, He'd choose his own movies all day long ;). Also Nick Mundy wouldn't argue with him, just suck up to his ego.
yes plz bring the rock
I wonder how far Nick would go to please the Rock. Even
+GutznMetal We'd have to put Nick on the Fact Checker couch.
+Kaiser That's what l thought too. But l kinda don't want nick to play against him.
ELIJAH STOP HELPING DAN!! XD lol
hhh He deserved the win for helping everyone. Also his comment on Alicia as a competitor ("scary") was mine aswell. Cool dude!
Elijsa seems to be the best guy ever!
Also, you should get MovieBob on the show :)
They should get the Rock on the show against Nick Mundy.
1 - What's the funniest horror movie? Housebound
2 - What's the best fantasy franchise of all-time? The lord of the rings (original trilogy)
3 - What Hobbit would win in a battle royale for the One Ring? Sam he got them pots and pans :P
4 - Best Lord of the Rings movie? This is hard cause I consider it all just one long story but I'll say the third
5 - Best performance by a kid in a movie? Lindsay Lohan in The Parent Trap. She convinced us all for years that she really had a twin.
6 - Watch one movie for all of eternity - MATILDA
+Pokemontas om fucking god i was thinking on the same answer you are the love of my life
+Pokemontas I was wondering why nobody picked Sam, he's bigger than the rest, he carried Frodo up mount Doom, killed 2-3 orcs.and took on that giant spider and WON!!!
+Pokemontas Housebound is great, good call. I'd also put Tucker & Dale vs. Evil on that short list, though.
+Pokemontas oh man. Matilda scared the shit out of me.
for the eternity question I would have chosen Raid 2. The reason being that the first few times you watch it, you just know there are punches and kicks flying. then you noticing how they do it. you notice the side characters too after sometime. then you need rest of the eternity to train and become like them.
It’s been 6 years… and I still come back to just watch Elijah wood lose it when the other guy says “it’s about Christmas” 🤣
Truly a great moment in sports!
best episode of movie fights ever?
+looneyflight to me, Yes! I can't believe I missed it months ago when it came out! XD
That title should go to Worst Terminator Sequel for the Night Falls and Captain Phillips remarks from Kristian Harloff.
Cinemasins vs screen junkies
yep, I came back because it was so memorably comfy
i was jumping and giggling like a little girl
"IT'S ABOUT CHRISTMAS!!"
Omg I'm dead LOL
:'DDD
I cannot believe I haven't seen this episode until today. The laughs kept coming, the panel was terrific, the arguments were consistently on point without becoming overbearing, and Elijah Wood may very well be more entertaining *talking about* movies than in them--a very impressive feat in and of itself.
I would love to see Elijah back on Movie Fights because this is easily one of the best fights the series has produced, and he is quite possibly a contender for Dan's title. Even Dan mentioned he felt as though he was fighting himself.
Classiest fight until date.
Elijah Wood is such a cool guy
Nick definitely won that argument with the two towers imo
53:41 You can see the exact moment when Nick's heart breaks
Owww 😢
I laughed so much when he mentioned he got laid the night he watched The Two Towers, I love you Nick
Lol. He's awesome.
+Brennan Dunn so are you
If you could get Quentin Tarantino on the show that would be mindblowing
+Whirlwind Spiral lol
+Whirlwind Spiral Dat foot fedish is getting really popular these days.
And I have a feeling a lot of his choices will be too old and obscure for anyone on Screen junkies.
+Tate Hildyard Not that at all, they would have to bring their A list fighters, like Dan and Alicia/Amy and not have Andy as judge, bring back Harloff. And I still think Tarantino would dominate
+Whirlwind Spiral I cant stop laughing :D
"Star wars brings everyone together"
......that one didn't age quite so well.
53:20 That moment when Nick Mundy's childhood was shattered before our very eyes.
Elijah is such a nice adorable human being
Elijah's so laid back and humble, what an awesome guest! Hilarious video like always!
Elijah is very intelligent and a surprisingly welcome addition to the cast. Definitely have him on again.
Elijah wood in harry potter best childhood performance hands down
I hope you are joking.
+CS Munchies WAHAHA
You make me want to commit
He wasn't in it. And those movies were weird.
@@georgeshawki4561 they weren't very good... LOTR still the pinnacle of fantasy hands down
Seeing Dan argue for Jurassic World was amazing.
If you could pick any Hobbit ever.. Then Bullroarer would be the ultimate choice. So tall he could ride a normal horse and whacked the head off the Goblin king with a single sweep of his club and invented golf.
+Doreen Green I do believe you made that up. - bilbo
James Norrington
Smart pick. But she proved to be bright hearted at the end of the war of ring.
I'd go with Bilbo. He saw more combat then any hobbit in lotr.
+Inaccurate Stormtrooper Did he though? I mean he was unconscious for I believe most of the battle of the five armies so that doesn't really count and then what else was there?
*****
When they were being chased by goblins and wargs at the edge of the glades.
how did nobody pick Samwise in the hobbit round. he was the true hero of LOTR
