Not allegedly, they showed us that bank-escape scene from Heat during my mission training in the Danish Army. As an example of fire and movement, covering and suppressive fire. And we were told that If we couldn't reload as fast as Val Kilmer, we were a failure as soldiers, since no actor should be able to out-reload a professional soldier. :) true story.
eyezon1975 we also watched segments of the bank escape scene as well during S.W.A.T. and Gang Task Force training.

But naturally the suppressive fire and covering wasn’t lost on us as part of the dialog.

John Wick is over-the top on purpose. It's supposed to be super-exaggerated, like a real life anime. And in that regard, the film did exactly what it was trying to do

James needs to go back and watch the action scenes. THE BULLET COUNT IS ON POINT. Watch him go through a 226- and fire 15+ 1 in the chamber - or a glock 17 with a 21 round mag like in the first movie in the museum. That scene involves a glock 17 with a 21 round mag....22 shots and he switches to another gun...... Count the damn bullets James.... Disappointed
One Mouse Gaming Hate to disagree with you but he was talking about the catacombs. More specifically the m4 shotgun scene. At the start I counted a total of 11 shots before reloading. But him saying 30? He might as well have said he didn’t even reload.
My favorite scene in T2 is the minigun scene hands down, but I also love the part where he's ordered not to kill anyone, and he shoots the security guard in the legs. The kid says something like, "Hey, no killing!" and Arnold just stoicly says, "He'll live." XD

The bling on the chain around the Sommelier's neck in the John Wick: Chapter 2 is called a "tastevin" and is used for tasting wine. Because he's, you know, a sommelier.
The Flava Flav necklace is called a tastevin and is a mark of office for sommeliers. The small dish is traditionally made of silver and was once used to help sommeliers examine wine in dark conditions. The silver would reflect light and help with examinations of wine. Since the advent of modern light, the dish has mostly been relegated to the role of unique bling.
One thing that made Heat so good is the audio. Most movies have actors using guns firing weak ass blanks, and then do work later on for the gunshots. In Heat they used proper, loud blanks and recorded the audio on scene, so that the high rises and other things around the place added to the noise and sound of the fight, adding to the realism.
Saw a behind the scenes that mentioned the original plan was to substitute the standard gunfire audio and they only used the blanks as a placeholder, but the director hated the way it sounded with the replacement audio inserted and insisted they go back and use the original audio shot with the blanks on the scene. Very good call, imo, but it's funny how it was almost an accident that it ended up that way.
The story and dialogue of John Wick is supposed to be cheesy. They are a throwback to the movies of the 80s with a easy to understand story with a main focus on great action
Im a big fan of the John Wick movies. I think they get a lot of respect because Keanu did so much training himself. Watching him run that 3 gun course was great!
No Sicario? Sure the gunplay was minimal in comparison to other movies on this list, but whenever one goes off it looks and sounds lethal. They seem highly realistic too.
The films are stupidly written. It doesn't necessarily mean that he didn't enjoy them. And even if he didn't like them, he appreciated the gun etiquette.
I was just happy to see P30 used. And then because of that movie comps were made for it. I didn't need a comp for my P30, but it cool to have one. And the comps fits my HK 45
To gamers, the NTW-20 will always be known as the "Halo sniper rifle." Only real differences being the NTW-20 is 20x80mm, and the sniper rifle in Halo is I think a fictitious round (could be wrong), the 14.5x114mm cartridge. Apparently they are high velocity, armor piercing, and can take the hat off an Elite at 2,000 yards... and they ain't cheap. ;)
Does anyone else sort of find it dumb how in some of these action movies the hero will have an armory with rows of assault refiles, RPGs, and other heavy firepower, yet they simply grab a pistol before attacking the main bad guy's fortress.
weapons are mission specific...you may not want a LMG or RPG or even a rifle if youre going after 3 guys...a suppressed handgun and several magazines is far more concealable and a good shot can do a lot with one
One of the best gun movies that is always overlooked is Way of the Gun released in 2000 with Benicio del Toro and Ryan Phillippe. Near perfect ballance of entertainment and realism. Also, Sarah Silverman gets her face punched in in the first 5 minutes, which is funny to watch.
ElLoboLoco894: "Also, Sarah Silverman gets her face punched in in the first 5 minutes, which is funny to watch.". -- How is this not in the "Top 5 Favorite Movies For The True Patriotic American"? This country has been going to hell for the last 20 years... AT LEAST!
I have to confess that I really love the movie Desperado starring Antonio Banderas, Steve Buscemi, and Tommy Chong. The guns and gunfights are so ridiculously over the top and unreal which is actually why I like it. Also the henchmen in that film have marksmanship that would boost an imperial stormtrooper's self esteem.
What? You're too smart for John Wick? Hey, you have to keep TWO things in your head at the same time... 1) They stole his car. 2) They killed his dog. Fine, be that way, but those movies were HUGE fun. Admit it.
thedog556 I’ve spotted that comment and as a fellow Brit that guy is in fact a very funny comedy actor who was in the movie Shaun of the dead. I always show that to my American fiends and that Gun Smith guy is that room mate who yells “front door is open AGAIN”.
@@BushmasterRaZ wait, are you trying to tell me that James Reeves is a Muslim? Serious question here, as my whole view about him/the channel could be wrong and possibly changed...
District 9 still stands up. I'm going to have to watch Heat again. Accurate physics are important to me. I stopped watching The Walking Dead when a bad guy in the back of a truck fires a long burst of .50 BMG into the jeep that's right behind, and it just makes sparkles on the grill. THAT is when the show finally jumped the shark for me.
Sean 2099 It somewhat suffers from the same problem as the movie I would've given a honorable mention "Act of Valor" The gun diversity is rather low. Most protagonists are using either an M16 or M4 with a few sniper rifles, MGs and AKs on the baddies thrown in. Or maybe he's just saving them for a more military focused list. I mean "Saving Private Ryan" also only got a honorable mention and this with all the iconic WW2 weaponry
ThePronato look at the IMFDB page, there is a bit more diversity then you think. Most of the Delta force operators are carrying custom colt 733s or 727s (pre M4) carbines. Also on the American side are M16A2s, M92fs(s), M1911s, MP5s, M60s, FN Minimis, an M14, and an 870. The Militants are mostly carrying Type 56 Aks and G3s as well as Chinese and Russian made RPGs. An M72 RPK copy , an Ak74u, and a TT33 are also wielded by the militia. It's not the most diverse movie when it comes to guns but it isn't too shabby.
What gives black hawk down a boost in the gun department is that for once, someones hearing is actually injured. Usually in movies they blast off a 12 gauge in a tiny corridor with concrete walls and do not seem to notice it one bit.
6:40 that’s a sommelier’s tasting cup. When you’re at a fine dining restaurant, the sommelier will sample the wine after preparing (decanting, etc.), to ensure quality (before the wine is served to the guest). The guy is a sommelier for firearms.
Kinda surprised Collateral (2004) didn't make the list. Say what you will about Tom Cruise and the H&K USP, but he played the gritty contract assassin role well and handled that USP like a master. That nightclub scene where he takes out discount-Kim Jong-un with a failure drill is spectacular. I think I read somewhere that they had Cruise professionally trained on combat shooting before production began.
"All the best things about John Wick that made it different from other action movies were actually the worst things about John Wick." I understand that personal preference is always subjective, but it seems to me that you wanted to hate those movies out the gate.
While they were both in Godfather 2, they didn't share any scenes together. Heat was the first movie where they acted together on camera. Perhaps that's what James meant.
13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi Not only a get remembrance to heroic soldiers, but a badass scene where he first arrives in Benghazi and is stopped by a blockade and sideways draw their pistols. Sick
I loved the picks and critical reasons he choose them. I also loved the amount of hate he pours onto the John Wick movies. The first one was great as a stand alone, but the second one not only was a downward trend, but also drew attention to the elements of the first one that made it bad. First the good. John Wick uses Center Axis Relock effectively. It's meant for really tight combat, but Keanu's arms are long enough that it's not a hazard to his own face. Shots are zoomed out to show the full action with few cuts. This also demonstrates no bullshit scenes where editing would be used to hide an actors inability to perform in action sequences. It's not just the attention to detail they have to firearms, but a kind of enthusiasm to take firearms seriously that comes across throughout the film that I feel makes it a good "gun film." In the first John Wick, the presentation of Continental is subtle with most of its elements implied instead of told. Wick's past is also presented as such so the mystery elevates your admiration or curiosity of both. And the story is simple, relatable (emotionally), and likeable. BTW, the silver piece of bling around the "Sommelier's" neck is called a taste-vin. You use it as a wine MAKER, not sommelier, to taste the readiness of wines for bottling in cellars. It's blingy (shiny) because wine cellars have to be dark so light doesn't effect wine. The reflection helps to make the best use of what light you have. Now the bad. CG bullet effects. The thing that took me out of the movie the most was that bullets had no impact. There was no practical to compliment the CG. Wick would get hit, his jacket wouldn't even flutter. I know you can't be firing blanks at a lot of the tight ranges in these movies for safety, but it makes it really hard to take seriously once he get's his bullet proof suit. The subtlety is taken away from the society of assassins by explaining too much. Cringy is exactly the right word for this part of the writing, it becomes very juvenile. It's a teenager's comic book fantasy / fanfiction level of writing by the time you get to the third movie. And why didn't anyone catch the baba yaga thing? I thought that was a well known piece of lore even in the US. There's just no reason for many of the things to happen. Why did he take the TIME to assemble an antique gun to fire ONCE instead of doing ANYTHING ELSE? Why did Laurence Fishbourne's character even have to exist? At least in the first one there was pacing that lightly explored the Wick character, but the later ones all the plot is an excuse for Wick to wind up in a different spectacle of a fight. I wound up with a lot of action fatigue by the end of the movies, and SPECTACLE is exactly what these movies are now. That kind of nonsense is worthy of TH-cam, but not a full on movie.
Yes, “Way of the Gun” is definitely a gun guy flick: S&W j-frame revolvers vs. 9mm HK USPs vs. 1911s. I thought the tactics and weapon transitions were on point! 👍🏼
"The Town" is one of my favorite action/gun movie and another really good one is "Den of Thieves", which has one of the best and most realistic shootouts near the end of the movie. really enjoyed those 2 and still watch them both all the time...
You forgot to cover the De Niro disarm scene. He steps back, with his hands up, until he feels the muzzle press against his back, then leans back to take the gun out of battery, spins, redirects the muzzle, then takes the gun.
2:06 Fast forward 2 years where he's super hype to be showing the guns from John Wick 2 and 3 with Taran from Taran Tactical who trains Keanu for the John Wick movies ;)
I really didn't wanna like this video because you made fun of our lord and savior, John Wick. But your Matrix, Rastafarian EDM Cowboys comment got me rolling.
Only the last scene was slightly action-y and as equally cucky as the rest of the movie. The whole club scene was when I stopped watching the first time I saw it
What was the best about the expendable trilogy is the comedy and the constant appearance of some of the biggest action stars of the last 40 years. Shit only Clint Eastwood is missing
Heat is the best because Michael Mann has this uncanny ability to infuse tension, emotion, and sex into everything he does. It al builds to a crescendo. My favorite thing he’s ever done is a scene in Manhunter where William Peterson is alone, walking through a park at night trying to catch the villain... the music swells, the tension builds... you can feel the sweat in the summer heat... then at the last second he draws down and all you see is his revolver in your face and Peterson’s out of focus in the brief distance because if this were for real that’s exactly how you’d see it.
"That annoying Italian guy with that weird flava flave necklace" I'm sure what he meant was "That British sommelier with his sterling silver Tastevin" Peter Serafinowicz is a very popular British actor and voice actor, and his role as sommelier/armourer was a fantastic allegory imho!
When you spend your military career with SFOD-D, you're allowed to get fat when you retire. Having said that, you should see Larry Vickers now. Lean and mean.
Best T800 gunning is the flip-cock shotgun shooting. Don’t think 10 gauge though it came in 10ga.; looked like 12 gauge Browning designed Winchester 1887 lever shotgun, 5 in the tube, with a bootleg conversion on the stock and the trigger guard clipped. Shoot this shotgun and you will find you have to drive that lever hard, not like a pump, to eject the shell. Even shotgun guys will hang up a round by manipulating the lever like an 1873, a Yellow Boy, et al, because it’s clunky.
In 'To Live and Die in LA' there's a shootout in the locker room, in the last 10 minutes of the movie. It was brutal, lethal and lasted about 3 seconds, which is my understanding of how a realistic gun battle unfolds. I like it because it's the antithesis of a theatrical gun battle.
Judgement Day was always one of my favorite movies. I grew up watching Arnold and Bruce Lee movies and probably watched T2 everyday for quite a while. My favorite scene is Arnold chasing the semi on the Harley.
The one-liners like that in John Wick were all a part of the charm, I personally think the lines were deliberately OTT, and when looked at in that light it works
Man, not gonna lie most times I start a 20-25 minute TH-cam video with a sense of dread, but I kinda can’t get enough of how you do it. You literally grew up in the same age as us and grew up watching these films. Say what you want, but I’ve gotten so many guns just from seeing them in iconic movie scenes! Great work man!!
I get that its a dated design, low capacity, mythical .45 stopping power and heavy gun. Why so much hate really? I can think of a lot worse designs like anything in double action / single action or double action only. (I'm sure Sig and Beretta fan boys just had a seizure!) I really like the great trigger and ergonomics of a 1911. I think its reputation for unreliability stems from the worn out military guns and the cheap imports. Whenever I introduce a new shooter to firearms I hand them my 1911 with .22 conversion kit and they just love it.
The 1911 is pretty damn good for being designed over 100 years ago. And I have also never had mine jam with FMJ or SP rounds, although it has a few times with Hollow points.
I agree with HEAT. I have the video and watch it every so often. When I first watched it, it scared me. The representation of what real urban warfare would be like came so far up front and in your face with that movie. Simply a classic! Just can't understand why it only went so far with accolades. I watch the original Matrix every now and then but in my mind I know it's fantasy. Heat wasn't. Heat was like a news crew from the old days being on both sides. It was pure war. Good v. Bad Psychopaths!
One thing people miss with HEAT! Is.. That they fired full powered blanks and recorded audio on location. Usually they fire little mousefarts from the gun and put in the sound in post-production. In Heat the guns are loud, and the sound echo inbetween building and create a much more terrifying effect than normal movies.
for 2018 there is a great flick on Netflix with that Jeremy guy from the Avengers and the other Bourne movie called : Wind River....it's made in a beautiful location and the gun-play is beyond fact vs fiction with regard at how ineffective a handgun really is vs a Rifle or Shotgun. The action scenes were spot on. It is definitely worth seeing on Netflix.
@@siegfriedgottz698 That was a .45-70, if you're talking about the guys that get nailed by Jeremy while in the trailer. You can get a 500 grain bullet going 1,700 fps out of one of those.
@@johnbell278 yeah right at the end when they had that stand off. didnt realize a gun with such a short barrel could do that. guess bullet dimensions matter
@@siegfriedgottz698 "guess bullet dimensions matter". Yes Sir! A smaller, hollow-point bullet may, or may not expand; but a .45 caliber bullet will not shrink!
Gun guy from South Africa thanking the guys from TFB TV for adding District 9 to the list. Amazing movie and a chance to see some of our guns in action. Thank you James and regards from all the gun guys, owners and enthusiast's from South Africa.
Heat. The sound of the automatic weapons echoing off the buildings in DTLA is so real and brings back them ‘92 LA vibes straight outta K-Town. Aaaaand it’s number 1!
Yeah John wick reloading wasn’t glossed over at all. Stunt coordinators matched blanks with a script that counted shots. Watch it again with a counter-clicker in your hand.
One thing that is very under appreciated in Heat, is the sound effects. The gun shots in that movie are the most realistic I have ever seen. The only movie I can think of that is any where close to it is The Open Range with Kevin Costner, that shotgun going off in the saloon is awesome!
all the gunshots you hear in the shootout in heat, were recording live during production cause it sounded a lot better than post production audio gunshots. So they just use live recordings on set.
@@tudum21 I recently watched the Bourne series, again and realized some of the gun sounds are appallingly bad. That is atleast one aspect of films being much better today, most films have acceptable sounds. Suppressors being silent, repetetive slide cocking and hammer cocking on striker fired guns is still prevalent though...
The Matrix had a scene that is very rare in movies, and that's the scene where Morpheus is running to the helicopter, and one of the agents in the hall effectively wall-hacks (gamers know this one all too well) and proceeds to shoot Morpheus in the leg through the wall. The reason this is so unusual in a Hollywood movie, is Hollywood usually treats everything as viable cover (flipped over card tables, couches, plain old drywall, etc.), when actually most things are concealment, not cover. Shooting through the wall to attempt to cripple Morpheus was a damn good nod to the reality of a gunfight, that walls usually won't save you, unless they're an Earthen or thick metal material.
The whole time I was watching this video I was thinking "HEAT better be on this list and it better be #1". The Godfather II was the first time Pacino and De Niro were in a film together, but HEAT was the first time they acted in the same scene.
Yep. I said, pretty much verbatim: (1) It's probably just me (2) JW has excellent gun fight scenes and (3) Keanu looks good doing it. It's just a cheesedick set of films. So I agree with you, I think? - James
I would have voted for John Wick 1000 times if I could and it definitely would have been my #1, but yea the plot isn't that great and the dialogue (which there isn't much!) is pretty hard to watch. The guns and Keanu make up for it though. Another awesome video! Thanks!
I laughed repeatedly throughout the film at Keanu Reeves' breathy monosyllabic delivery. John Wick is both a ballet of violence and an unintentional comedy. It's so bad it's good.
I believe it was an h&k 53 which technically is a 5.56 firing mp5. Or is the mp5 a 9mm firing h&k 53. Jk it was a h&k 53. The heckler and koch delayed roller system is the system used in these firearms that being the reason they look similar.

In Heat they used proper, loud blanks and recorded the audio on scene, so that the high rises and other things around the place added to the noise and sound of the fight, adding to the realism.
Yeah, same for the John Carpenter movie Ghosts of Mars, they used the same full-power blanks. Loud AF.
Seriously that's badass I didn't know that!
Saw a behind the scenes that mentioned the original plan was to substitute the standard gunfire audio and they only used the blanks as a placeholder, but the director hated the way it sounded with the replacement audio inserted and insisted they go back and use the original audio shot with the blanks on the scene. Very good call, imo, but it's funny how it was almost an accident that it ended up that way.
Honorable mention to the 1990 masterpiece, Tremors. Burt Gummer’s gun room was awesome.
My Little Pony is the best gun movie, hands down!
Interesting...

The story and dialogue of John Wick is supposed to be cheesy. They are a throwback to the movies of the 80s with a easy to understand story with a main focus on great action

Right you are.
Its way shittier than any of those movies.
I guess I don't get it, I'd rather just watch the over the top 80s movies.
cope harder
Im a big fan of the John Wick movies. I think they get a lot of respect because Keanu did so much training himself. Watching him run that 3 gun course was great!
No Sicario? Sure the gunplay was minimal in comparison to other movies on this list, but whenever one goes off it looks and sounds lethal. They seem highly realistic too.
Lee Choon Fai the scene at the border was really good.
The gun scenes were 10 minutes at most, COMBINED. The movie was b grade. Go back to /k/
He put district 9 on the list but no Sicario..this list is shit
Gun guy'a perspective: john wick is a poor film
Also gun guy's perspective: I'm gonna practice gun shooting like john wick
The films are stupidly written. It doesn't necessarily mean that he didn't enjoy them. And even if he didn't like them, he appreciated the gun etiquette.
I want to like this comment but It’s at 223 and I can’t ruin that
I was just happy to see P30 used. And then because of that movie comps were made for it. I didn't need a comp for my P30, but it cool to have one. And the comps fits my HK 45

To gamers, the NTW-20 will always be known as the "Halo sniper rifle." Only real differences being the NTW-20 is 20x80mm, and the sniper rifle in Halo is I think a fictitious round (could be wrong), the 14.5x114mm cartridge. Apparently they are high velocity, armor piercing, and can take the hat off an Elite at 2,000 yards... and they ain't cheap. ;)
It's also the case for the IRL gun, it has a 20mm and a 14,5mm barrels.
Is this a list of movies or a rage rant against John Wick?

Calm down pal. You're getting mad over pretty much nothing.

@@testname3114 In that regard Commando is top notch with its 80s dick cheese dialogue
Does anyone else sort of find it dumb how in some of these action movies the hero will have an armory with rows of assault refiles, RPGs, and other heavy firepower, yet they simply grab a pistol before attacking the main bad guy's fortress.
mcclanehallenbeck yea they do it for the "dramaticness"lol....but it ruins any realness the story may have had
Jacob Clark not every body rpg
weapons are mission specific...you may not want a LMG or RPG or even a rifle if youre going after 3 guys...a suppressed handgun and several magazines is far more concealable and a good shot can do a lot with one
Ounces are pounds in combat, I would rather a pistol or a carbine to sneak about rather than a machine gun
mcclanehallenbeck Don’t talk shit about Deadpool.
Heat still holds up today. One of my all time faves. I like how they kept the gun reports loud with the echo which added realism.
I watched it about 3 weeks ago. Absolutely holds up
One of the best gun movies that is always overlooked is Way of the Gun released in 2000 with Benicio del Toro and Ryan Phillippe. Near perfect ballance of entertainment and realism. Also, Sarah Silverman gets her face punched in in the first 5 minutes, which is funny to watch.

I have to confess that I really love the movie Desperado starring Antonio Banderas, Steve Buscemi, and Tommy Chong. The guns and gunfights are so ridiculously over the top and unreal which is actually why I like it. Also the henchmen in that film have marksmanship that would boost an imperial stormtrooper's self esteem.
What? You're too smart for John Wick? Hey, you have to keep TWO things in your head at the same time...
1) They stole his car.
2) They killed his dog.
Fine, be that way, but those movies were HUGE fun. Admit it.
haha you are correct. I admit.
You can steal my car. but if you mess with my dog, there's a special place in hell for you
No they weren't. Boring ass movies.
We've never been licked!
Yes, very true! Boring-ass nonsense - that's what those movies are :D
I'm surprised, that Leon The Professional didn't make the list, it was like a gun art film. I'd rank it over District 9.
Leon is a such a good instructor that he made a child girl hit a moving target at 400m in the freaking first attempt.
Speaking of assassin movies... The Jackal deserves an honorable mention.
Nah, man, district 9 is solid.
The Professional and The Jackal are both awesome
Same director did Ronin, which could have been on the list.

Accurate physics are important to me.
I stopped watching The Walking Dead when a bad guy in the back of a truck fires a long burst of .50 BMG into the jeep that's right behind, and it just makes sparkles on the grill. THAT is when the show finally jumped the shark for me.

I thought Blackhawk Down was a good "gun guy" movie
Sean 2099 It somewhat suffers from the same problem as the movie I would've given a honorable mention "Act of Valor"
The gun diversity is rather low. Most protagonists are using either an M16 or M4 with a few sniper rifles, MGs and AKs on the baddies thrown in.
Or maybe he's just saving them for a more military focused list.
I mean "Saving Private Ryan" also only got a honorable mention and this with all the iconic WW2 weaponry
ThePronato look at the IMFDB page, there is a bit more diversity then you think. Most of the Delta force operators are carrying custom colt 733s or 727s (pre M4) carbines. Also on the American side are M16A2s, M92fs(s), M1911s, MP5s, M60s, FN Minimis, an M14, and an 870. The Militants are mostly carrying Type 56 Aks and G3s as well as Chinese and Russian made RPGs. An M72 RPK copy , an Ak74u, and a TT33 are also wielded by the militia. It's not the most diverse movie when it comes to guns but it isn't too shabby.
@@BushmasterRaZ
Well someone didn't take their happy pills.
What gives black hawk down a boost in the gun department is that for once, someones hearing is actually injured. Usually in movies they blast off a 12 gauge in a tiny corridor with concrete walls and do not seem to notice it one bit.
I liked Lock Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels when that one guy is smart to have Ear Muffs when he pulls out the Bren
6:40 that’s a sommelier’s tasting cup. When you’re at a fine dining restaurant, the sommelier will sample the wine after preparing (decanting, etc.), to ensure quality (before the wine is served to the guest).
The guy is a sommelier for firearms.
Kinda surprised Collateral (2004) didn't make the list. Say what you will about Tom Cruise and the H&K USP, but he played the gritty contract assassin role well and handled that USP like a master. That nightclub scene where he takes out discount-Kim Jong-un with a failure drill is spectacular. I think I read somewhere that they had Cruise professionally trained on combat shooting before production began.
Yup
"All the best things about John Wick that made it different from other action movies were actually the worst things about John Wick."

While they were both in Godfather 2, they didn't share any scenes together. Heat was the first movie where they acted together on camera. Perhaps that's what James meant.

The most FALs I have ever seen in a movie
The "spend almost half the video bitching about John Wick" list
I loved the picks and critical reasons he choose them. I also loved the amount of hate he pours onto the John Wick movies. The first one was great as a stand alone, but the second one not only was a downward trend, but also drew attention to the elements of the first one that made it bad.
First the good. John Wick uses Center Axis Relock effectively. It's meant for really tight combat, but Keanu's arms are long enough that it's not a hazard to his own face. Shots are zoomed out to show the full action with few cuts. This also demonstrates no bullshit scenes where editing would be used to hide an actors inability to perform in action sequences. It's not just the attention to detail they have to firearms, but a kind of enthusiasm to take firearms seriously that comes across throughout the film that I feel makes it a good "gun film." In the first John Wick, the presentation of Continental is subtle with most of its elements implied instead of told. Wick's past is also presented as such so the mystery elevates your admiration or curiosity of both. And the story is simple, relatable (emotionally), and likeable.
BTW, the silver piece of bling around the "Sommelier's" neck is called a taste-vin. You use it as a wine MAKER, not sommelier, to taste the readiness of wines for bottling in cellars. It's blingy (shiny) because wine cellars have to be dark so light doesn't effect wine. The reflection helps to make the best use of what light you have.
Now the bad. CG bullet effects. The thing that took me out of the movie the most was that bullets had no impact. There was no practical to compliment the CG. Wick would get hit, his jacket wouldn't even flutter. I know you can't be firing blanks at a lot of the tight ranges in these movies for safety, but it makes it really hard to take seriously once he get's his bullet proof suit.
The subtlety is taken away from the society of assassins by explaining too much. Cringy is exactly the right word for this part of the writing, it becomes very juvenile. It's a teenager's comic book fantasy / fanfiction level of writing by the time you get to the third movie. And why didn't anyone catch the baba yaga thing? I thought that was a well known piece of lore even in the US.
There's just no reason for many of the things to happen. Why did he take the TIME to assemble an antique gun to fire ONCE instead of doing ANYTHING ELSE? Why did Laurence Fishbourne's character even have to exist? At least in the first one there was pacing that lightly explored the Wick character, but the later ones all the plot is an excuse for Wick to wind up in a different spectacle of a fight. I wound up with a lot of action fatigue by the end of the movies, and SPECTACLE is exactly what these movies are now. That kind of nonsense is worthy of TH-cam, but not a full on movie.
Wait... so My Little Pony wasn't actually on the list?
airjoe49 haha, IKR?

Used to watch that show lol.
My two favorite things XD
I know, I was disappointed too
Why no pony 😐. Guns and ponies rock!
While not as action focused, No Country For Old Men and Hell Or High Water had some great gun scenes.

Great Pieces of tension in the action scenes.
I wish No Country had the scene where Chigur is having a fire fight with Cartel members in the street after the Hotel scene

Honorable mention should have included "The Way of The Gun" with Benicio Del Toro & James Caan.
Leslie Star Such a fantastic movie!
Wow, that had to have been an oversight.
Yes, “Way of the Gun” is definitely a gun guy flick: S&W j-frame revolvers vs. 9mm HK USPs vs. 1911s. I thought the tactics and weapon transitions were on point! 👍🏼
Little known Canadian flick called GUNLESS - tongue in cheek fun!
Honorable mention Mel Gibson payback
Die Hard is still the greatest action movie and Christmas story ever told.
Excard0n its not Christmas til I watch Die Hard.

I always thought predator was a great gun movie. As well as Sin City. Loads of cool guns in that movie
"The Town" is one of my favorite action/gun movie and another really good one is "Den of Thieves", which has one of the best and most realistic shootouts near the end of the movie. really enjoyed those 2 and still watch them both all the time...
Freakin' James, I about died when Lawrence Fishbourne showed up at the armory scene 😂😂😂
You forgot to cover the De Niro disarm scene. He steps back, with his hands up, until he feels the muzzle press against his back, then leans back to take the gun out of battery, spins, redirects the muzzle, then takes the gun.
2:06 Fast forward 2 years where he's super hype to be showing the guns from John Wick 2 and 3 with Taran from Taran Tactical who trains Keanu for the John Wick movies ;)

Does any of that ring any bells?
Yeah Collateral was definitely badass... That was John Wick good before John Wick was even a thing.
Nope.

Absolutely
Only the last scene was slightly action-y and as equally cucky as the rest of the movie. The whole club scene was when I stopped watching the first time I saw it
What about "The Expendables"?
About 0 plot, but boy do they have guns.
What was the best about the expendable trilogy is the comedy and the constant appearance of some of the biggest action stars of the last 40 years. Shit only Clint Eastwood is missing
Those single action army’s & the AA12 scene was pretty dope
@@panzerlambert1194 Best part of Expendables is they probably won't make anymore. Less stars and better gun play is usually better to watch. imo
I can attest to the military being shown scenes from heat. A day after the crucible my co came In and made us watch heat.
You got to watch movies in basic? We didn’t do any of that.
You had me at District 9 but even better closer with Heat, good list man.
Yeaaah District 9 was pretty cool I also remember that R35 GTR was hot af. (for my car guys bros out here)
I think you might have mistaken District 9 for Elysium, the latter has the tricked out post apocalyptic R35.
Heat is the best because Michael Mann has this uncanny ability to infuse tension, emotion, and sex into everything he does. It al builds to a crescendo. My favorite thing he’s ever done is a scene in Manhunter where William Peterson is alone, walking through a park at night trying to catch the villain... the music swells, the tension builds... you can feel the sweat in the summer heat... then at the last second he draws down and all you see is his revolver in your face and Peterson’s out of focus in the brief distance because if this were for real that’s exactly how you’d see it.
Great video and special thanks to your Dentist for lending you his waiting room.
Dentist was probably out shooting a lion or something..
I stopped watching at 2:51...and yes James it is only you
I would stop right there, but I wanted to at least listen to the arguments. Might understand guns, but about movies I will keep my doubts.
"That annoying Italian guy with that weird flava flave necklace"
I'm sure what he meant was "That British sommelier with his sterling silver Tastevin"
Peter Serafinowicz is a very popular British actor and voice actor, and his role as sommelier/armourer was a fantastic allegory imho!
Keanu's wooden dialogue is always his weakest point, but damn the man can handle action sequences like an expert.
he is an expert.
That wooden dialogue fits this character really well, though - casting Keanu in JW 1-3 had to be an obvious fit.
When you spend your military career with SFOD-D, you're allowed to get fat when you retire. Having said that, you should see Larry Vickers now. Lean and mean.
@Jannie Kirsten Fixed bitch
Best T800 gunning is the flip-cock shotgun shooting. Don’t think 10 gauge though it came in 10ga.; looked like 12 gauge Browning designed Winchester 1887 lever shotgun, 5 in the tube, with a bootleg conversion on the stock and the trigger guard clipped. Shoot this shotgun and you will find you have to drive that lever hard, not like a pump, to eject the shell. Even shotgun guys will hang up a round by manipulating the lever like an 1873, a Yellow Boy, et al, because it’s clunky.
In 'To Live and Die in LA' there's a shootout in the locker room, in the last 10 minutes of the movie. It was brutal, lethal and lasted about 3 seconds, which is my understanding of how a realistic gun battle unfolds. I like it because it's the antithesis of a theatrical gun battle.
You are weird bro. John Wick is the shit! Best action film in decades!
I would agree... Even almost to the extent of putting it up there with American Sniper, Lone Survivor, ans such
You guys are getting a lil outta hand.
@@austinvickymoore3656 lol American Sniper and Lone Survivor are trash
Judgement Day was always one of my favorite movies. I grew up watching Arnold and Bruce Lee movies and probably watched T2 everyday for quite a while. My favorite scene is Arnold chasing the semi on the Harley.
Zombieland.
Best gun scene: when they found my Hummer.
Worst: Wasting ammo in an apocalypse.
The one-liners like that in John Wick were all a part of the charm, I personally think the lines were deliberately OTT, and when looked at in that light it works
Man, not gonna lie most times I start a 20-25 minute TH-cam video with a sense of dread, but I kinda can’t get enough of how you do it. You literally grew up in the same age as us and grew up watching these films. Say what you want, but I’ve gotten so many guns just from seeing them in iconic movie scenes! Great work man!!
Why all the 1911 and .45acp hate? I mean shit did a 1911 bully you when you were a kid or steal your girl when you were in high school?
+J the 1911 guys were in their 50s when I was in HS
I get that its a dated design, low capacity, mythical .45 stopping power and heavy gun. Why so much hate really? I can think of a lot worse designs like anything in double action / single action or double action only. (I'm sure Sig and Beretta fan boys just had a seizure!) I really like the great trigger and ergonomics of a 1911. I think its reputation for unreliability stems from the worn out military guns and the cheap imports. Whenever I introduce a new shooter to firearms I hand them my 1911 with .22 conversion kit and they just love it.
The 1911 is pretty damn good for being designed over 100 years ago. And I have also never had mine jam with FMJ or SP rounds, although it has a few times with Hollow points.
RIA is a very good manufacturer of the 1911. Id rank them up there with Ruger.

Last man standing
An insanely underrated pick "Hold the Dark (2019)" features probably the most realistic gun fight scene in history
Also the movie Heat
Heat... Best shooting scene ever!
I agree with HEAT. I have the video and watch it every so often. When I first watched it, it scared me. The representation of what real urban warfare would be like came so far up front and in your face with that movie. Simply a classic! Just can't understand why it only went so far with accolades. I watch the original Matrix every now and then but in my mind I know it's fantasy. Heat wasn't. Heat was like a news crew from the old days being on both sides. It was pure war. Good v. Bad Psychopaths!
One thing people miss with HEAT! Is.. That they fired full powered blanks and recorded audio on location. Usually they fire little mousefarts from the gun and put in the sound in post-production. In Heat the guns are loud, and the sound echo inbetween building and create a much more terrifying effect than normal movies.
Somebody, PLEASE ! Give this man...a better perspective on the 1911 !
for 2018 there is a great flick on Netflix with that Jeremy guy from the Avengers and the other Bourne movie called : Wind River....it's made in a beautiful location and the gun-play is beyond fact vs fiction with regard at how ineffective a handgun really is vs a Rifle or Shotgun. The action scenes were spot on. It is definitely worth seeing on Netflix.
that end shootout scene was so nuts. Ive never really realized how stornh .308 is until that guy got nailed by it
@@siegfriedgottz698 That was a .45-70, if you're talking about the guys that get nailed by Jeremy while in the trailer. You can get a 500 grain bullet going 1,700 fps out of one of those.

Heat. The sound of the automatic weapons echoing off the buildings in DTLA is so real and brings back them ‘92 LA vibes straight outta K-Town.
Aaaaand it’s number 1!
I gave this video a thumbs up just for the line about the Larry vickers diet and exercise program.
He’s being sarcastic about John Wick guys, he’s trolling Keanu, and everyone buys it so it’s just awesome.
Yeah John wick reloading wasn’t glossed over at all. Stunt coordinators matched blanks with a script that counted shots. Watch it again with a counter-clicker in your hand.
"The Larry Vickers diet and exercise program".. Love it!
One thing that is very under appreciated in Heat, is the sound effects. The gun shots in that movie are the most realistic I have ever seen. The only movie I can think of that is any where close to it is The Open Range with Kevin Costner, that shotgun going off in the saloon is awesome!
all the gunshots you hear in the shootout in heat, were recording live during production cause it sounded a lot better than post production audio gunshots. So they just use live recordings on set.
@@tudum21 I recently watched the Bourne series, again and realized some of the gun sounds are appallingly bad. That is atleast one aspect of films being much better today, most films have acceptable sounds. Suppressors being silent, repetetive slide cocking and hammer cocking on striker fired guns is still prevalent though...
The Matrix had a scene that is very rare in movies, and that's the scene where Morpheus is running to the helicopter, and one of the agents in the hall effectively wall-hacks (gamers know this one all too well) and proceeds to shoot Morpheus in the leg through the wall. The reason this is so unusual in a Hollywood movie, is Hollywood usually treats everything as viable cover (flipped over card tables, couches, plain old drywall, etc.), when actually most things are concealment, not cover. Shooting through the wall to attempt to cripple Morpheus was a damn good nod to the reality of a gunfight, that walls usually won't save you, unless they're an Earthen or thick metal material.
The whole time I was watching this video I was thinking "HEAT better be on this list and it better be #1".
The Godfather II was the first time Pacino and De Niro were in a film together, but HEAT was the first time they acted in the same scene.
What?! It is just you James. John Wick has some of the best gun fighting and Keanu looks good shooting.
Yep. I said, pretty much verbatim: (1) It's probably just me (2) JW has excellent gun fight scenes and (3) Keanu looks good doing it. It's just a cheesedick set of films. So I agree with you, I think? - James
I would have voted for John Wick 1000 times if I could and it definitely would have been my #1, but yea the plot isn't that great and the dialogue (which there isn't much!) is pretty hard to watch. The guns and Keanu make up for it though. Another awesome video! Thanks!
I laughed repeatedly throughout the film at Keanu Reeves' breathy monosyllabic delivery. John Wick is both a ballet of violence and an unintentional comedy. It's so bad it's good.
While far from gun heavy, I would say Taxi Driver did a pretty good job of utilizing the guns they used in the film
you talkin' to me?
For the revolver guys, "The Good the Bad and the Ugly," "3:10 to Yuma" ( remake ) and "Dirty Harry."
The Outlaw Josey Wales
Matrix shoot scene: shooting an mp5 with 5.56 cases falling to the ground.
I believe it was an h&k 53 which technically is a 5.56 firing mp5. Or is the mp5 a 9mm firing h&k 53. Jk it was a h&k 53. The heckler and koch delayed roller system is the system used in these firearms that being the reason they look similar.
18:52 LMAO. That edit was fantastic.
A whole gun movie list and not one Charles Bronson movie... I despair for the younger generation. Death wish series at least deserve to be on here.
HEAT was a full bladder movie in the theater.
My thoughts are:
Wild Geese II ( not sure about the original)
Black Hawk Down
Dogs of War
The Professional
Dogs of War!
