My favorite forced perspective trick is the one they use to make Tom Cruise look taller. The other trick I like is how he acts like a normal human on film
I freely admit that guilty pleasures exist, and that I have to overlook the actors. Se7en and Usual Suspects are in my top ten, but there is this problematic actor...
Yeah that’s good. Now thinking of a bunch. But think my favorite might be “You think I’m fukking stupid Hans?” -John McClane after he emptied the bullets. Brief lol but love that part.
The biggest trick I Am Legend achieved was making the audience believe a veritable army of vampires were the biggest bloodsuckers Will Smith ever encountered when it was actually Jada all along …
I remember watching several actors on a talk show who had stared in a movie but never met. One of the scenes of them together over dinner was shown. What was odd was all said they had scheduling conflicts, and had filmed the dinner scenes months apart. It LOOKED like everyone was there, but a stand in actor was used for all of the other actors on different takes on multiple datesdates. The end result was seamless! I was floored!
5:46 we’ve now reached a point in human history where prop guys can’t make an eye patch stay on, as they are too reliant on cgi now. Thank goodness Jim Henson isn’t around to see this world.
Coolest moment in an action film for me personally. John Wick, The Red Square scene. Wick eliminating everyone was not only great cinematography but that song/score. Is just pure perfection in my opinion.
5:51 Well, props to the production for trying to use a practical and only resorting to a CGI eyepatch b/c of issues with the real one. (As part of the implosive situation with production and losses in the industry currently, I expect we could - if fortunate - see a reduction in costly CGI and an emphasis on the masterful artistry of practical FX. Yes, I know...but I'm hoping I'm correct in the long run.)
Best action bit; Freeway chase in the second Matrix movie. I think it was the second one. Been a while since I've watched the trilogy, but, that one sticks out in my head.
a trap set by the Dark Seekers? Is that what we're supposed to think in I Am Legend? I always thought that the character has set so many traps that he's lost track
No because he was talking to Fred in the store the day before, so it let us know that something was off, and then the head move sold it to us. We were thinking like wills character that Fred moved himself
Interesting. That only gives me more questions however. Like, so the Darkseekers are intelligent enough to set traps? and why would they be motivated to capture him? surely they just want to kill him. The Will Smith character is the one motivated to capture subjects. And he's slowly going crazy from the isolation and forgetting where he set traps. I feel like the name 'Fred' he uses for numerous mannequin friends he set up around the city. Is this a take you get from the book or something? because I just don't see the dark seekers in the film as intelligent enough to set complex traps.@@themusicplug2033
Yes this is called a Loop Lever it was designed originally to allow operating of the action with heavy gloves and was an option all the way back in the 1890’s
@@GwynnStacy.65 Neville thought the darkseekers had become mindless animals. But they couldn't ALL be chill with his survival; some had to fight back. I was the only one who saw Fred turn his head to the left among all my friends in the theater. But once they saw it on DVD we embraced that chilling Neville-saw-Fred's-head-turn, and coined the term:"DAMMIT,FRED! DAMMIT!" for when things go wrong. (Love your screen name, btw)
The movie was a big letdown, to say the least, but in "Alien VS Predator," the spin the Predator does with the spear before stabbing the queen was a pretty cool shot.
If you like the Knives Out camera trick, have a look at the first Matrix movie. Morpheus holds his jacket over the camera to get the reflection of the door knob grab but without the camera in it.
Don't agree that using CGI is a 'cool trick', it's a very expensive and elaborate way of achieving something that better directors do with ingenuity. When I see a list like this I'm expecting cool forced perspectives, cinematography tricks etc, not finding out that "you know that moustache/eye patch/cloak? It was added digitally afterwards"...
Favourite action movie moment: Chance (Played by JCVD) looking straight in the eyes and grabbing a burning wood from Emil (Playde by Lance Henriksen) in Hard Target 1993 Produced by John Woo
Here's a fun fact: The scene in I am Legend where he talks to the 'female' manikin at the video store. She is in front of the adult movies. I'm not ashamed to admit that I know because I recognized some of the covers. You can't see anything in detail but its a thing that if you know you know.
Constantine (Keanu Reeves) There was a scene where Chaz entered a horde of Demons and the filmmakers got their reaction shot but then a few minutes later when John entered the hall of demons, the camera cut to the reaction shot again but It was the same shot just flipped horizontally...no one really noticed it. I didn't realize it until a few years ago.
4:48 I knew it :P There is no way a hollywood milionare gets something glued around his eye. And there is no other way to attach stringless eyepatch on a face irl.
I've got one, but it's not a film trick... It's a story telling trick. In The Usual Suspects, the lawyer Kobayashi hands out dossiers from a briefcase. He hands them out in the order the people die. This makes sense as the movie is from Verbal's perspective and he is making the story up as he goes along... So this is the viewer getting a peak into him formulating what's going to happen as he tells the lie. That's just one of many subtle moments in that movie that trick the audience or foreshadow something.
i love this channel and im subbed and all but a lot of times when you explain something you never show us what you're explaining and its just annoying because it just a lot of looped footage and never any footage of what you are talking about. also some Behind The Scenes stuff would be interesting too.
The same kind of adaptation in a long gun was done for John Wayne in. Couple of his movies, fir sure True Grit. He had an over sized cocking lever so he could twirl his rifle to cock it.
Wait, did people really think the eye patch was real? Maybe it looked better in theaters, but I always thought it looked pretty crap. It doesn't always move with his face just right and it has weird light reflections that don't match the rest of the scene.

What film have you seen where Tom looked tall?
They do subdue his green hue well in most of his flix.

Hes the same height as RDJ and they gave RFJ platform shoes fot avengers movies
there's a funny

cutaway scene that explains

Greatest moment in an action movie: Jack Burton catches the thrown knife and then domes Lo Pan with same (Big Trouble in Little China).
Facts!!!
It's all in the reflexes

You know what Jack Burton always says. Come on, we were all thinking it, I just had to type it in here.

"The Red Circle"
@@davet319 YES thank you. I thought that wasn't right.
@@davet319oh. I thought it was something like the Kremlin park.

Where was the ambulance flip??
You tricked me. LOL
So funny, straight after the Ben Affleck being dubbed clip, TH-cam played the Haribo advert of adults being dubbed by children.
This is a cool list. Right on✊🏽
That I Am Legend scene freaked me out for a long time. So weird and random for the filmmakers to do that.
The lever wasn't specially made for the movie. They had them available even back then. Arnold doing the gun flip reload was taken from John Wayne.
Yes this is called a Loop Lever it was designed originally to allow operating of the action with heavy gloves and was an option all the way back in the 1890’s
7:35 holy crap, I’ve seen this movie a dozen times and never noticed the head turn until now.
The car chase scenes in Ronin are pretty amazing.
Didnt realise were tricking you/visual effects and that's how films work
One of the biggest mysteries of the universe: How did Fred get there? 😮
That's easily answerable..
The monsters moved it to lure Will Smith into their trap.
IK. But I will admit it took me a few watches to have 2+2= Vamps used Fred as bait for their trap 😆

I liked that movie as a kid. >_
I have the flick I digged the movie and yes that spin was sick. Seen the movie in the theater as well but missed the spin...My date, distraction lol.
7:47 I saw the head movement. I just assumed it was a vampire wearing the clothes to trick The Slappy Prince.
His attempt to slap the undead/new human did not go well.
If you like the Knives Out camera trick, have a look at the first Matrix movie. Morpheus holds his jacket over the camera to get the reflection of the door knob grab but without the camera in it.
Love your content guys 😊😊😊😊
Love your spam
Dude show the scene for number 2. I have no idea what you're talking about
Wait, they use prop guns in movies? Somebody should tell Alec Baldwin.
Hahahahaha. He was found not liable, stupid.
😬😬… too soon
Okay the mime bit is cool.

1:27 that's ok...I never watched it again, period.
The shotgun trick is doable in real life, and there are already "large loop" lever action rifles to make it easier.
My favorite action movie moment is John Wick 4 Dragon Breath’s scene.
I’m the opposite…I didn’t think there was a single person who WOULD have thought the Mary Poppins scene was CGI
I thought Ben Affleck sounded weird in Buffy. I noticed it after rewatching Buffy after all of the early Kevin Smith movies
I just re-watch Buffy last night. I said to myself that is Ben Affleck he sounds weird. Now I know why
4:48 I knew it :P There is no way a hollywood milionare gets something glued around his eye. And there is no other way to attach stringless eyepatch on a face irl.
Yes yes!!
Make up the headlines please
The spinning shotgun was an homage to john wayne

Bro didn’t have to say “X” that hard😭
I knew terminator 2 wasn’t real before my teens. Proof that you are drunken to the max. It’s still an epic film anyways.
I never even noticed the mannequin move in I Am Legend.
Best action moment TONY JAA kicks a streetlight
Anyone that knows firearms knows that you aren’t going to swing a real Winchester style lever action rifle to engage the weapon.
The CGI eye patch 100% looked like CGI... and it was extra obvious because Thor wasn't wearing it in the same scenes in the trailer.
The Elf one makes sense since Will Ferrell is also a little taller than average lol
Hela is not Thor's sister. It is Thor's niece. Loki is the father of Hela.

Also Hemsworth had bad depth perception so they opted to CGI the patch. That was the main reason.
The same kind of adaptation in a long gun was done for John Wayne in. Couple of his movies, fir sure True Grit. He had an over sized cocking lever so he could twirl his rifle to cock it.
I… didn’t even know the head moved in I Am Legend.
Calling bullshit on the elf classroom scene. You can see the lines on the floor going across to his desk. No way that's a perspective trick.
Pretty much all the B.S in "Wanted"!..... thought it was really cool!
I knew that head moved I am legend!
2:49
Did you know that Viggo Mortensen actually broke his toe when kicking the orc-helmet in LotR? He did it for a more realistic scream. Noone noticed
Didn't someone throw a real sword or knife at his face that he had to parry too?
He did it for a more realistic scream? Don't think he did it on purpose
Ik a scene that tricked everyone for years the poop in 2 girls 1 cup wasnt actually poop
Coolest action movie thing? Val Kilmer having literally no reaction and starting to shoot as soon as he saw the cops In Heat
The guy reading this list’s unnecessary emphasizing of the last word of every line is obnoxious. “The daaaarkkk siiide”
The terminator one isn’t a “trick” it’s a fairly common modification for lever actions. I have 2. They make them them for that reason
No kidding. So many of these are just: "Yep. That's typically how movies get made, alright."
lol yeah. They also do it so you can get glove in there as well, but my Mares Leg specifically is made for flipping
Wait, did people really think the eye patch was real? Maybe it looked better in theaters, but I always thought it looked pretty crap. It doesn't always move with his face just right and it has weird light reflections that don't match the rest of the scene.
The last 2 movie seems you didn’t even show the trickery😑
Being tricked doesn’t matter when your a narc.
❤ The Creator!!!!!!
Huh i thought the whole mary poppins remake movie wasn’t a real thing, not just the scene.
do you really think the first two tricked some one?
Why the baptist preacher vocal mannerisms?!
“You didn’t realize were tricking you… they used a prop gun” no fucking shit Sherlock
You are not American! Lever is pronounced "leever" for Christ's sake!! 🙄
Leever for who?
This is all incredibly obvious 🤦🏻🙄 how could anyone be "tricked" by any of this 🙄🤦🏻
People on TH-cam need to seriously stop saying 'Latter' it's quite annoying.
t800 spin reload.. cant upstage John wayne.
I'm surprised Will Smith didn't kiss the guy mannequin from I am Legend haha
Get it? Because he's gay now?
