Judging by the end, Jake was only so condescending in his first scene because he despises liars and frauds, because he has a sense of honor. And for that, I love him.
Fun fact! Those scales exist on real snakes, and are also the reason why they technically smell things with their tongues in order to find prey. The tongue rubs against the ground and picks up scent molecules in the air, it rubs the forked tip against those spots in order to get a better reading on where the scent came from in the first place, and wether the origin point is worth eating or not.
That's because Rango didn't know he had it in him, either. Up until then he was just playing a role. He was being any body because he was, a he described it, a nobody. It wasn't until he "walk in the desert" that he came back as Rango. The character and the man(or lizard in this context) And when Jake realized that, and saw that he managed to come out on top with one bullet, he has to tip his hat. One legend to another. Rango was a nobody and became a legend by the end of his story. In truth, maybe Rango didn't become a stone cold killer. Maybe he wasn't going to shoot Jake. But, he was not the same guy he threw out of town, and struck Jake deep.
"it only takes 1 bullet" "you ain't got the nerve" *"try me"* Snake Jake are those villains who thinks they've won, until the "coward" gives them the death stare.

One thing I liked about Jake is he’s genuinely angry that Rango lied to the people. He’s a cruel man, but a cruel man with principles Edit: Okay, to all the smooth brained Neanderthals in the replies saying JaKe iSn’T a MaN, hE’S a SnAKe. I KNOW HES A SNAKE. The characters in this flick are so three dimensional and fleshed out they feel very human. *STOP BEING SO GODDAM LITERAL*
Honestly professionals and actual legends don't take anyone seriously if they ain't got the nerve to prove it. Reputations mean alot of things plus honor and respect in those wild west days.
To be honest I think he was just playing to Rango's insecurities. If anything was going to get to him at the time it'd be the fear that he truly was nobody.
Dude Rango is Underated and these scenes show almost everything great about this movie. The Music, Character Design, Action, Style, Animation, Voice acting, Cinematography Just a Pure Masterpiece.
Really underrated and everything you said is true. I can't stop watching Rango... Best scenes in an animated movie. Plus... Rango and Jake is same characters for Jack Sparrow and Davy Jones... And i love that movies too.
I love how this dude is not even a villain, just someone's who's doing his job while being blunt to everyone, including Rango. Even respecting him at the end. God I love this character Edit: After watching Puss in Boots 2 and the literal character of Death, I can safely say that the trope of antagonists that are neutral to the protagonist, yet still comes off as threatening is probably my favorite trope. No ulterior motive, no world domination, just "Buddy, you fûcked up, and now it's time to own it up or dîe"
This. That's exactly the kind of villains I've loved the most. You never know who's side they're really on, all you better hope is that you CAN'T screw it up or face nightmares by these neutral agents of the unknown, that even "evil individuals" would get tense from.
I thinks is because is in some way more real. Like Oh the super evil villanous devil want to conqueor the world and im the only one who can stop him. My man that the equivelant of being on 1940. And wabted to kill hitler. Even better. What the hell did u did fof hitler wanted u . Yes u dead. From all the people. But a random person that his justndoing hes job. As idk a german soldier or spy. Is more terryfing. Hes doing his work. And tje worst part. Hes good at it
5:19 Wow, that simple expression shows you, Jake knew he'd been outsmarted, Rango had beat him, and hes going to die. Despite the whole, "Reaper from hell" persona, even a badass like Jake can be left filled with absolute terror
I don't know if it was really the fear of death, or just that he knew he had been beaten. He had no cards left. Out of bullets and at gunpoint of the man he openly humiliated in public. He didn't really seem scared so much that he was kinda shocked. This little lizard he threw out as a coward, just came back and completely outplayed him. He didn't beg or even try to defend himself. He didn't attack him when he turned his back and walked willingly to be captured by the mayor just to keep Beans alive. He just seemed humbled by the experience. You can see it on his face. But Jake also seems to have a sense of dignity. When the Mayor betrays him, he faces the man down as he pulls the trigger. Pissed off as all hell itself, but man enough to face down the barrel of the gun and not flinch. He keeps true to his persona, even when beaten. Which is rather refreshing. Considering most villians try to either talk their way out of it. Or are changed by the defeat and are ready to die for their crimes.
I think he’s the best. Throughout the movie the very few times he’s mentioned he strikes fear into the hearts of everyone around, and for damn good reason. Look at what he does to Rango in *two or three minutes of screentime*

Dude’s just a badass mercenary as far as I’m aware, nothing supernatural is involved. Though, it’s been a while since I’ve actually seen the movie so feel free to correct me on anything I got wrong.
0:17 whats funny is that rattlesnake venom (like any venom) is only dangerous if it enters your bloodstream. Assuming Rango doesn't have a cut in his mouth or something he probably could've drank that entire shot glass and been completely fine.
Ironically drinking his venom probably wouldn't have hurt Rango at all unless he had some stomach ulcers. But the intimidation factor probably would stop most folks from even trying
@@artsiefan3385 I've got you, random stranger. Most venoms generally aren't toxic unless exposed to the bloodstream and tissues where they do all their damage. Dissolving them namely. So if you had an ulcer, you'd be in for some trouble.
@@a.w.r3311 As a follow up, there are some venoms that are acidic enough to burn holes through contact but most are only dangerous if they reach the bloodstream. Some cultures even deliberately ingest venom since they tend to be full of protein.
@@a.w.r3311 So someone with ulcerative colitis wouldn't be able to drink venom? Or would the process of it previously being in the stomach change that somehow?
@@EvaEsteraif we are to assume the roadrunners or boar are of normal size (probably not but...) then jake would actually be fucking giant for a rattler
I really do love how Jake dumped all of Rango’s bullets except one, and that single bullet did really end up being all Rango needed from then on. It’s even better that Jake realizes it and that’s what makes him consider Rango a legend rather than him finding the nerve to kill or bringing water back to the town. This movie was too good to just be a Nickelodeon movie.
I like how despite Rattlesnake Jake being an infamous gunslinger and the most feared man in the Mojave desert, he's still afraid of something, that something being the Hawk.
It's because hawk very often hunting rattlesnakes. That's why he was scared of him. It was his instinct for surviving. Plus he can have some bad history with him (his missing part of the tail)
Damn, the amount of detail is insane, when jake gets checked by gunpoint, he is filled with terror and kept his eyes trained on that revolver until it was uncocked and holstered. This Movie Rocks
something i love about Jake is the fact his anger is kinda justified, Rango had been basically sullying his name and reputation claiming their brothers to a gunslinger like Jake that's the ultimate insult, using his name and reputation to basically boost his own reputation is dishonorable, its why i love how they part ways, Rango honored his promise in ending this all with one bullet saving both the town from jake, and Jake from the Mayor Rango never had to do that, he could have shot jake but instead he chose the girl, which is honorable and as cold and cruel as Jake is, he respects honor
@@ShigekiHizashi In the German version they actually swore for real. They said things like "Halt die Fresse" which would normally never be said in a movie for kids.
I absolutely love the idea they implemented when Jake rattles his tail as he should as a rattlesnake, the sounds are gun rattling. It mixes the rattlesnake and sharpshooter motifs so well.
Honestly one of the coolest villain aesthetics & personalities I've ever seen and to this day this is still one of my favorite movies & villain. I especially love the short but powerful character arc Rattlesnake Jake has on his perspective of Rango
I like that Jake plays the role as an honorable OG outlaw, who was simply enraged that someone was bringing shame to the act, he makes play and stage references and even makes oneliners on que, i like this guy, clearly an A++ in drama and nothing else
Jake and death are two great villains that aren't true villains, they hate that the main character is just so smug and once the main characters develop to be more humble they let them live there life
"Or by all the fires in the black pit, I'll squeeze them pretty brown eyes outta yer skull!" Probably one of his more underrated lines. Jake was a legendary kind of evil.
Before we had Death from Puss in Boots we had him. They both - originally hate the main character because they think the MCs are frauds and undeserving of what they have - come to respect the MC after they show their bravery at the climax - personifications of death/devil - low amount of scenes but everyone remembers them - incredibly badass peak animation villians
@@ghostoftheoldworld5104 What I Meant Was That I Think That Jake Did It Better, Death Is Fantastic Don’t Get Me Wrong But Jake Also showed a lot more personality and with him only being a metaphor he also showed the other side of the coin when Rango was able to overcome him, something Death wasn’t able to do
@@highhat3561 oh i see haha, i agree i like Jake more, too. i just meant that since Jake came first and introduced this type of character Death did better in his movie than he otherwise would have
Anyone else notice that Jake didn’t smile or smirk when Rango was interrupted? Usually these devilish villain types are smug about their backup protecting them, but Jake is a man of honor and respect. Rango earned his respect with that stare down.
A fantastic detail Ive noticed is that at 5:11 Jake stutters in absolute shock. For once, the gun has been pulled on *him.* By none other than the wimp he previously scared out of town. This wasn’t enough to scare him, of course, though the “try me” definitely was.
Rattlesnake Jake reminds me a lot of Death from Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. A truly menacing villain in a mostly lighthearted setting that is as cruel as he is formidable but is shown to have his own set of principles and twisted sense of honor.
Same here. But I can't say Death matches him at his personality. Death was cruel, but he only did it because Puss angered him. In general I think Death is a nice guy who feels pitty for those who he takes with him. I don't think Jake can match that. But yeah, Jake does remind me a lot of Death.
He was my favorite part of the movie love him and his desig. He’s so intimidating and just fun to look at The way he moves and the way his gun tail moves is amazing
I love that Jake did not just stand on the trap, he saw it and tried to escape instead of just "oh well, time to wait for it instead of try to get away."
2:09 This is my favorite scene of Jake. The soft but commanding tone that crescendos as you slithers around Rango culminating with throwing him towards the crowd; who, in turn, part. Leaving Rango one path towards the sunset, or WEST.
Man I loved this guys character so much especially the voice actor perfect choice for him such a cool cocky guy. “Or what little man you’re gonna kill me?” Best quote 😭
"Go to hell"
"Where do you think I come from?"
Gives me chills every time
"Well in that case, go back to hell"
"Next fall when I visit my parents"
That is a deliciously metal response to "go to hell."
It's especially cool when you realise Rango went through hell when jack send him into the desert and that's why they're similar
Whars the timepost
@@-flint-2300 Ah easy from the start of the Whole movie to the end
Jake was carrying around a glass just so he could do a “Thirsty?” joke with his venom.
Now thats what you call ‘dedication to one’s craft’ my dear boy
Man had been waiting his whole life to use that joke
And then he proceeded to destroy it lmao “shit now I gotta find another shot glass”
I think he only did it sense Rango told the towns people that he would put Jakes venom in his coffee for a bit of a tang
I kinda wonder how he was able to hold it without accidentally dropping it or breaking it
That tail-gun makes no fucking sense and I love it
In a western movie with animals with guns, they had to pull some interesting ideas out of the box

Dude’s just a badass mercenary as far as I’m aware, nothing supernatural is involved. Though, it’s been a while since I’ve actually seen the movie so feel free to correct me on anything I got wrong.
Agree. The only other character I could think of while watching Jake was Death because of how similar they are.
Neither are the best
0:17 whats funny is that rattlesnake venom (like any venom) is only dangerous if it enters your bloodstream. Assuming Rango doesn't have a cut in his mouth or something he probably could've drank that entire shot glass and been completely fine.
It would have probably tasted like extremely salty vodka
Still a pretty cool way to flex his dosage amount
@@grandgojira5485 oh yeah thats a really high amount for one dose
@@Inkspeckle even the biggest venomous snakes have nowhere near enough venom to fill a shot glass (even if it is a downscaled one)
@@grandgojira5485 yeah thats what I meant. most give a few drops per envenomation. a shotglass full is an insane amount
Ironically drinking his venom probably wouldn't have hurt Rango at all unless he had some stomach ulcers.
But the intimidation factor probably would stop most folks from even trying
Explain hiw
@@artsiefan3385 I've got you, random stranger. Most venoms generally aren't toxic unless exposed to the bloodstream and tissues where they do all their damage. Dissolving them namely. So if you had an ulcer, you'd be in for some trouble.
@@a.w.r3311 As a follow up, there are some venoms that are acidic enough to burn holes through contact but most are only dangerous if they reach the bloodstream. Some cultures even deliberately ingest venom since they tend to be full of protein.
@@a.w.r3311 thank youu!!
@@a.w.r3311 So someone with ulcerative colitis wouldn't be able to drink venom? Or would the process of it previously being in the stomach change that somehow?
At 5:54 the absolute detail on that one bullet is easily my favorite part of the whole movie.
Awwww....yeah.. 😌 Well done for the ovservants.
The fact that he looks like he’s some actual giant snake but is the size of a normal rattler and yet still looks so f*cking badass 🥶
So his size is normal? I genuinely thoughts he was huge😮
@@EvaEsteraif we are to assume the roadrunners or boar are of normal size (probably not but...) then jake would actually be fucking giant for a rattler
Yea imagine walking through a trail and coming across a rattlesnake which is deadly enough but then you notice the tail is a fucking mini gun
I really do love how Jake dumped all of Rango’s bullets except one, and that single bullet did really end up being all Rango needed from then on. It’s even better that Jake realizes it and that’s what makes him consider Rango a legend rather than him finding the nerve to kill or bringing water back to the town.
This movie was too good to just be a Nickelodeon movie.
Rattling Gun is one hell of a design. My inner-kid is screaming
I like how despite Rattlesnake Jake being an infamous gunslinger and the most feared man in the Mojave desert, he's still afraid of something, that something being the Hawk.
It's because hawk very often hunting rattlesnakes. That's why he was scared of him. It was his instinct for surviving. Plus he can have some bad history with him (his missing part of the tail)
Makes you wonder how many close calls jake had with hawks to be deathly terrified.
@@NoWayJose24 That's probably why his rattle is a gun.
Anyone would be scared of a giant flying creature a dozen times their size.
Damn, the amount of detail is insane, when jake gets checked by gunpoint, he is filled with terror and kept his eyes trained on that revolver until it was uncocked and holstered. This Movie Rocks
something i love about Jake is the fact his anger is kinda justified, Rango had been basically sullying his name and reputation claiming their brothers
to a gunslinger like Jake that's the ultimate insult, using his name and reputation to basically boost his own reputation is dishonorable, its why i love how they part ways, Rango honored his promise in ending this all with one bullet saving both the town from jake, and Jake from the Mayor
Rango never had to do that, he could have shot jake but instead he chose the girl, which is honorable and as cold and cruel as Jake is, he respects honor
04:04 I think this chuckle is pretty underrated. Just a small one, but it just sounds so right for Jake. Bill, you amazing bastard, you.
I had no idea they swore in this movie. It just makes it that more western.
Context. Saying what the hell would be swearing, in this case they're using location
@@ShigekiHizashi but Jake the Snake also said "sign the damn paper, woman!" Which Is rad.
@@ShigekiHizashi In the German version they actually swore for real. They said things like "Halt die Fresse" which would normally never be said in a movie for kids.
@@mafumaru5899 that’s because Rango isn’t for kids
@@Mgl1206 well, but it is rated 6 and up in Germany xP
I absolutely love the idea they implemented when Jake rattles his tail as he should as a rattlesnake, the sounds are gun rattling.
It mixes the rattlesnake and sharpshooter motifs so well.
Simply the best bad guy cowboy character ever created
Close 2nd to Angel Eyes
@@DepravedCoTApologist Yep.
3:17 best line in the whole movie.
3:15 was where the line starts. It sure was pretty cool to hear that.

Those eyes are so well made
Honestly one of the coolest villain aesthetics & personalities I've ever seen and to this day this is still one of my favorite movies & villain. I especially love the short but powerful character arc Rattlesnake Jake has on his perspective of Rango
I like that Jake plays the role as an honorable OG outlaw, who was simply enraged that someone was bringing shame to the act, he makes play and stage references and even makes oneliners on que, i like this guy, clearly an A++ in drama and nothing else
“I tip my hat to you…one legend to another.”
Definitely my favorite animated villan of all time
I consider him to be true neutral more than a villain
@@realmalphaofficial5966 true
I love the little marking they put above his lip to resemble a mustache
6:07
A time stamp for a pretty good quote.
Jake and death are two great villains that aren't true villains, they hate that the main character is just so smug and once the main characters develop to be more humble they let them live there life
That was my first thought when i saw the death in puss in boots
I'm having a feeling that the writer uses Rattlesnake Jake as one of the reference for Death. Straight up sadist, but with honor
That would make him and Death the only TRUE antagonists in a cartoon.
That stupid wolf is so overrated I cannot wait for people to shut up about him
Never thought I'd simp for a literal snake but here we are,,,,,,,, i swear I'm jus here for the VAing,,,,,,,,.,
Snakes have two dicks so you get double the fun
@@alexdesjardins4740 really 👀
@@alexdesjardins4740 wait *what*
Yep. They have the double barrel
@@alexdesjardins4740 Oh boi, jake is the whole package
His eyes look like hell's flames, and even the skies are a fiery orange in his first entrance. Man, few can top that.
He has the same eyes like Smaug the dragon.Like eye of Sauron.
@@kaletovhangar YESS THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT
"Or by all the fires in the black pit, I'll squeeze them pretty brown eyes outta yer skull!"
Probably one of his more underrated lines. Jake was a legendary kind of evil.
Before we had Death from Puss in Boots we had him. They both
- originally hate the main character because they think the MCs are frauds and undeserving of what they have
- come to respect the MC after they show their bravery at the climax
- personifications of death/devil
- low amount of scenes but everyone remembers them
- incredibly badass
peak animation villians
Jake crawled so Death could run
Death Walked So Jake Could Run
@@highhat3561 jake came first lol
@@ghostoftheoldworld5104 What I Meant Was That I Think That Jake Did It Better, Death Is Fantastic Don’t Get Me Wrong But Jake Also showed a lot more personality and with him only being a metaphor he also showed the other side of the coin when Rango was able to overcome him, something Death wasn’t able to do
@@highhat3561 oh i see haha, i agree i like Jake more, too. i just meant that since Jake came first and introduced this type of character Death did better in his movie than he otherwise would have
This dude scared the crap out of me as a kid! Watched the movie again now that I’m older and DAMN this dude is awesome, what a great movie!! 😁👌
What an absolutely spectacular antagonist.
5:00 Gives me joy every time. I really want a meme about this scene exclusively, but its so chaotic and I love it!
When you bring your grandpa with ptsd to an air show
Jake gives off that feeling of death and I love that about him
"Go to hell"
"Where do you think I come from?"
Such a badass line omg
Anyone else notice that Jake didn’t smile or smirk when Rango was interrupted? Usually these devilish villain types are smug about their backup protecting them, but Jake is a man of honor and respect. Rango earned his respect with that stare down.
4:11
Oh my God! When Jake rattled his tail gun at the Sun, it was so *intimidating* and *satisfying* as hell!😗
5:57 Jake: One bullet.
6:00 Jake: I tip my hat to you, 6:02 one legend to another.
“What was that you said?Pretty soon no one will believe you even existed “
@@WolfEliteYautja2001”WOAH!!! OK! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA”
@@GiygasNightmareHe actually said: WOAH! NO, JAKE, NO! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!
Good riddance for that turtle
Seriously, the design team deserve a pay raise for all the different character designs. The textures are incredible
Villains like these always make me grin
A fantastic detail Ive noticed is that at 5:11 Jake stutters in absolute shock. For once, the gun has been pulled on *him.* By none other than the wimp he previously scared out of town. This wasn’t enough to scare him, of course, though the “try me” definitely was.
Rattlesnake Jake reminds me a lot of Death from Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. A truly menacing villain in a mostly lighthearted setting that is as cruel as he is formidable but is shown to have his own set of principles and twisted sense of honor.
Same here.
But I can't say Death matches him at his personality. Death was cruel, but he only did it because Puss angered him. In general I think Death is a nice guy who feels pitty for those who he takes with him. I don't think Jake can match that.
But yeah, Jake does remind me a lot of Death.
He was my favorite part of the movie love him and his desig. He’s so intimidating and just fun to look at
The way he moves and the way his gun tail moves is amazing
This is possibly one the most badass animated characters
The BEST character in the film! And Bill Nighy voices him magnificently!!
6:07
When you once accidentally bumped into Stalin
"Pretty soon no one will believe you even existed." The way he REPEATS THAT WITH SUCH VENOM DRIPPING FROM EVERY WORD. THIS MOVIE IS SO GOOD.
Making Rattlesnake Jake's rattlers into multiple gun cylinders is actually very clever, whoever came up with that idea is a genius.
I love that Jake did not just stand on the trap, he saw it and tried to escape instead of just "oh well, time to wait for it instead of try to get away."
"Go to hell."
"Where do you think i come from?"
This line goes harder than a Genshin player at a children's birthday party.
💀💀💀
Snake : "Looking to my eyes"
Ghost Rider : "Excuse me ?"
"If I ever see you again I will take your soul straight down to hell!" Is an awesome line
Jake is literally such peak character design. No matter how old this movie gets, I’ll always be in awe at the creativity
2:09 This is my favorite scene of Jake. The soft but commanding tone that crescendos as you slithers around Rango culminating with throwing him towards the crowd; who, in turn, part. Leaving Rango one path towards the sunset, or WEST.
Normally, I am terrified of snakes, but this one is insanely hot
What the fuck
Oh my GOD mood
i... i was about to call you a furry but snakes aren't even mammals so i dont know what to say at this point...
but i agree 😳
@@moonstone6133 scaly
This is one of the coolest characters in animation history
Rattlesnake Jake is probably the best villain in animation history
3:18-3:27 and that when jake became my favorite character in the movie. chills bro chills
I like that Jake turned out to be a good guy
He was never a bad guy just an antagonist
This movie has no right being this good. Rattlesnake Jake is one of the best antagonist of all time
Dude was a force of nature intimidating and deadly 😈 🐍
Fucked up when you realize Jake is a necessary evil that helps Rango grow a pair 😭 Love him
The sound designers were insane in this film, especially when it came to Jake. I mean the tail "rattling" and 1:20 is so satisfying to hear
"I'M GONNA BLOW SO MANY HOLES IN YOU, YOUR GUTS WILL BE LEAKING LEAD!"
-Rattlesnake Jake
Man I loved this guys character so much especially the voice actor perfect choice for him such a cool cocky guy.
“Or what little man you’re gonna kill me?” Best quote 😭
Rattlesnake Jake was the one of the coldest and most fear inducing characters ever
I love everything about Jake. The design, the attitude, the code. Everything about him is dipped in badass and deep fried in cool.
Lady: Go to hell!
Snake: where do you think I come from?
That’s was hard
