The way Tuco flipped out over his friend saying something so insignificant, is the perfect portrayal of a methhead behavior. So freaking irrational and you cant talk them down. He was great here
That, and the way Tuco was raised as a Salamanca. A gangster-family, that all grew up with brutality, violence, wealth. He was already a violent and unstable person, the fact he was contantly high on meth, made him even more unpredictable, and dangerous.
That one guy is indirectly responsible for obliterating the entire meth operation in the American southwest, elimating the Cartel's presence north of the border, and all of Heisenberg's victims.
@@Moreoverover he isnt, he was incredibly high and volatile, he cant just not have that as part of his personality. Considering no dozes line came out of nowhere, it really is what kick started everything.
I met Raymond few days ago in comicon, what an actor, he shared the details on how he prapared for this role, it was insane. He was so pumped in the studio, that he refused to make rehearsal, so that this energy will be present in the scene. I did a photo with him, still some part of me was a little afraid of him :D
He loved his role and was getting paid nicely for it. Sadly, his stupid wife couldn't cope with his acting skills and made him quit the role because she was scared of Tuco...So they had to kill him off in the show. He said it in an early interview.
@@ChessJourneyman I bet you hate Skyler too. The real reason why Raymond didn't want to play Tuco is because it was emotionally draining and taxing for him to do so. He didn't like going home at the end of the day not wanting to talk to anybody. He's introverted in real life compared to Tuco's... Tuco.
I love how the big guy stops them from interfering, and knows he’s basically protecting them from being killed at the expense of his buddy. Kriminal loyalty is a conflicting thing Edit; yes, my auto complete failed but 50 comments later I realized I didn't care.
Yeah exactly. It wasn’t like a ‘bro you better not touch my boss’ kind of thing it was more like ‘trust me man and stay back you don’t wanna get involved in this’
fun fact about that quote: Joe Pesci actually heard that conversation himself whilst waiting on a mob boss in a bar. He then quoted that almost word for word in the movie.
He's basically saying "back off, you don't understand, in the past he's told him to stop helping and now he's crossed the line. he must be reprimanded." Business 101, if your employee is insubordinate you must make sure it doesn't happen again. I respect the strict code of ethics Tuco runs his business by. You could learn a lot from him.
This guy was the scariest villian in the whole series. What makes him so terryfing were his unpredictable rage behaviors. Gus was terryfing but at least he was predictable and you had a chance to react against him, unlike Tuco because it was impossible to know what would make him anger. Walt and jesse were so lucky to survive against him.
But Gus was scary without ever shouting for like slamming a table. That's scary 4 me, how a completely normal dude is secretly evil as hell without even showing it
Here they are disgusted that Tuco would kill someone just because he hurt his pride a bit. In season 5, Heisenberg kills Mike for the exact same reason.
@@gorilarazbijac8111 Mike was out. He had taken his share of money and was going his own way. Walt probably wouldn't be able to kill Mike's guys in prison, but then again, he wouldn't need to because Mike would keep paying them. He was probably going to skip town and figure out a way to keep funding his family.
As hispanic, I grew up witnessing this behavour. Violence erupting out of thin air in the middle of a 'pleasant' gathering. Regardless if they're family or friends. You learn to be mad at everything because deep down you are scared of showing weakness and being eaten alive.
The dude playing Tuco really played it out of the park with his potrayal. Tuco is such an erratic, volatile and downright terrifying presence wherever he goes.
This guy was absolutely perfect playing this role. Kinda overshadowed because he wasn't in the show that long, and they're are so many other great actors. But he was incredible as Tuco.
tuco is actually pretty beloved in the fandom. i mean, he appeared in just 4(!) episodes. for such a short amount of screentime, the character had a gigantic impact on the later seasons (hector, the twins, etc etc etc), and is still listed among the best villains in the series to this day. just shows how great the perfomance of raymond cruz was

@@stevegwizzle3560 Exactly. In Brazil, they kill you for your shoes. And some jobs don‘t pay enough to feed the whole family. Selling drugs isn’t bad anyway, so let em do
Walter actually made Tuco insecure. He was an anomaly and when one of Tuco's men disrespected Walt, Tuco felt he had to over compensate. He did so again and again during the remainder of their encounters leading to his death.
I don’t think so, because this murderous irrational rage he flies into isn’t limited to Walt. He does the same thing in Better Call Saul with Saul and the skater cronies, and Nacho recounts he killed a gangster that he actually liked for no coherent reason
2:00 It’s impressive the way Tuco was already on top grabbing him before he even hit the ground. Tuco was absolutely raging and wasn’t going to stop until some real damage was done.
@@MC-ux7ewyup yup! One of the Salamanca twins actually replied to one of my Instagram comments on a very similar set of the same necklace boxing gloves that Tuco wears. I commented, "Doesn't this look just like Tuco's necklace from Breaking Bad?" And he replied with, "🪓☠️😮" I was so giddy when I saw it was the actual verified account 😂
Bodyguard didn't stop Walter as a "yo, don't go near my boss I don't trust you." threat. He stopped him in a... "you don't want to involve yourself.. trust me." caring sort of vibe.
Tuco seemed to strangely dig Walt. He enjoyed being with him. Tuco was crazy and unpredictable, but he seemed to respect his elders. Unlike Gus, who basically wanted Walts formula and then planned to have him killed, viewing him as expendable at the point, Tuco was planning on taking him down to South America and had no plans of diacarding. Tuco though little of Jessie, but keep him alive because of Walt.
@@McDonaldsDude nah i dont believe that. Even if walt did not kill the dealers, once gus knows the formula he would know that walter is a loose end. He always tie up loose ends. He trusted gale more than walt and jesse so even if they were on good terms, gus will still kill them once they are done. Gustavo fring is a monster who deserved his and his partner’s death.
What I loved was not only Raymond Cruz’s performance as Tuco, but that the writers recognize the various personalities you have to deal with in that type of world when climbing the food chain and that the higher you go, the less erratic outbursts, but still more brutal you get. Like Tuco could never get to Gus’s level behaving like that. He was always a street level kingpin at most. But then showing gus cut his guys throat in box cutter and poisoning the entire high level Salimanca crew at the pool party, but owning an entire empire. And then having to go back down to the skinhead crew with that unpredictability feeling. Every caracter felt super organic when looking at their street status.
@@Wasserkaktus Whole reason why mafia families had that rule. it makes you a stupid arrogant chump that endangers everyone. the loud ones always got whacked first.
I like how when the big guy stuck out his hand to stop Walt from intervening you can tell by the look on his face that he wasn’t doing it for his boss’ protection but rather Walt’s safety
There is a callback to this scene in _Better Call Saul_ in season 1 episode 2 "Mijo" where Saul is desperately trying to negotiate a lesser punishment for the 2 skateboarders from Tuco when No-Doze mouths off again and Tuco gets right in his face and growls, "Stop helping." He should have listened.
@@turdshack4228 Well you never know someone could watch BCS first and decide to watch BB afterwards because of it, then it really would be foreshadowing.
Tuco was such a great character. He's absolutely terrifying. Intelligent, perceptive, charismatic, manic, cruel, hyper-violent, physically dominant, and when he gets his tweak on he is granted Barbarian rage. He's basically a demon. Everyone should steer very very clear of this hellspawn in a human suit.
@@H.K.5 plus by the time Tuco returned from prison, his uncle was in a wheelchair, his cousin was dead and he found out his right hand Nacho was a big time rat. Probably pushed the dude over the edge.
I like that in Better Call Saul, you get more insight to this. Tuco's henchling had again, said something and Tuco tells him "Stop helping", showing that this here in Breaking Bad isn't the first occurence and Tuco never really liked him. And it likely was a long line of talking out of turn that caused Tuco to beat him up here. Of course, this is still very much a very violent overreaction, and Tuco is still crazy, but I like to see more insight to this.
In the original script, he was supposed to beat Jesse to death instead of No-Doze. It was important for Walt's character. Aaron Paul's charisma saved Jesse and Aaron's career.
1:58 is honestly so brutal, not because the punch itself, but because he literally runs toward him so he can keep hitting him. He wants to beat him as much as possible in the shortest amount of time and doesn't even let him hit the ground for a full second before continuing.
Not a bad idea honestly. When I used to get in fights, outside the bar etc. I'd immediately run at them like that after catching them on the chin. I don't want anyone getting right back up in case they weren't badly dazed. Just end it there. Plus it was just a reflex for me for some reason from the beginning. Run right at them jump on top
Seeing stuff like this is part of why Walt became the man he was in Season 4-5. Watching someone get beat to death in front of your eyes over practically nothing will change you.
"Okay heisenberg!!! Next week. Hahaha" Tuco summed up in one sentence. Intense, to calm, to hysterical. You really were on the edge of your seat not knowing what he'd do in any given scene. Props to Raymond Cruz

That is messed up
Walter actually made Tuco insecure. He was an anomaly and when one of Tuco's men disrespected Walt, Tuco felt he had to over compensate. He did so again and again during the remainder of their encounters leading to his death.
That actually, perfectly makes a lot of sense.
Walt knows the art of manipulation.
I don’t think so, because this murderous irrational rage he flies into isn’t limited to Walt. He does the same thing in Better Call Saul with Saul and the skater cronies, and Nacho recounts he killed a gangster that he actually liked for no coherent reason
@@faded9581 Saul was an anomaly too
@Just Benji your mom is over analysed
0:52 I absolutely love Tuco's expression after the dude says that
That was the moment no-doze did not stop helping
I love the line before the beating "Heisenberg says relax" :)

Tuco Salamanca was a fantastic character, and Ray Cruz did a masterful job bringing him to life.
Shame he wasnt in it for that long hopefully if more shows in the bb universe come out he appears more

2:00 It’s impressive the way Tuco was already on top grabbing him before he even hit the ground. Tuco was absolutely raging and wasn’t going to stop until some real damage was done.
Tuco is a calm and reasonable person.
Is he a calm and reasonable person?

2:36 that moment tuco walks like a winner of a boxing match lol 😂😂😆😆😆😆
The guy who got beaten didn't have good ground and pound and grappling defence so Tuco won
well it’s kind of his character that he thinks he’s a boxer, in bcs hector said it and he has the boxing gloves pendant.
@@MC-ux7ewyup yup!
One of the Salamanca twins actually replied to one of my Instagram comments on a very similar set of the same necklace boxing gloves that Tuco wears.
I commented, "Doesn't this look just like Tuco's necklace from Breaking Bad?"
And he replied with, "🪓☠️😮"
I was so giddy when I saw it was the actual verified account 😂
Vince Gilligan said Jesse originally doesn't make it out of Season 1.
I imagine this was Jesse's original death scene.
More like he was finished by Krazy-8 the moment he stood in his condo
no he was supposed to die from Tuco's beating when Skinny Pete first introduced Jesse to Tuco
@@mothfard0 Well if Tuco wouldn't finish him
Krazy 8 would definetly will

And ironically ended up outliving Walt
I love how camera keeps zooming into Mr. White's face from 2:11 as tuco beats the guy.

He's so happy

@@__szn__ Not instantly. Slowly and painfully.
This is the moment when Tuco became relaxed.

1:40 I love his laugh 🤣
“Just remember who you’re working for.”
Everything started here.
Bodyguard didn't stop Walter as a "yo, don't go near my boss I don't trust you." threat. He stopped him in a... "you don't want to involve yourself.. trust me." caring sort of vibe.
I read the action the same. “For you own safety, don’t…please.”
The guys were there to protect the suppliers from Tuco, but one of them forgot what he was there for and no one was there to protect him from Tuco.

@@iNathanLite it is. You see that in countless gangster movies. But it's funny enough that it never gets boring.
@@muffinman5741 I disagree about it being a cliche but ok.
Tuco seemed to strangely dig Walt. He enjoyed being with him. Tuco was crazy and unpredictable, but he seemed to respect his elders. Unlike Gus, who basically wanted Walts formula and then planned to have him killed, viewing him as expendable at the point, Tuco was planning on taking him down to South America and had no plans of diacarding. Tuco though little of Jessie, but keep him alive because of Walt.
" who basically wanted Walts formula and then planned to have him killed,"
Not at first. Only when Walt killed those 2 dealers did Gus want him dead.
@@McDonaldsDude nah i dont believe that. Even if walt did not kill the dealers, once gus knows the formula he would know that walter is a loose end. He always tie up loose ends. He trusted gale more than walt and jesse so even if they were on good terms, gus will still kill them once they are done. Gustavo fring is a monster who deserved his and his partner’s death.
It’s funny because when Hector met with Mike after tuco beat him up, he said that tuco needs to learn to respect his elders
@@CornholioPuppetMaster tuco did respect him, he was gentle at first but then got hella aggressive.
I think almost everyone who met W.W we’re intrigued by him. At first

That laugh at 2x speed lol
1:47 "Hisenberg Says Relax '' so nice with the point 😂😂😂
0:58 "It was at this moment he knew, he f'd up".
What I loved was not only Raymond Cruz’s performance as Tuco, but that the writers recognize the various personalities you have to deal with in that type of world when climbing the food chain and that the higher you go, the less erratic outbursts, but still more brutal you get. Like Tuco could never get to Gus’s level behaving like that. He was always a street level kingpin at most. But then showing gus cut his guys throat in box cutter and poisoning the entire high level Salimanca crew at the pool party, but owning an entire empire. And then having to go back down to the skinhead crew with that unpredictability feeling. Every caracter felt super organic when looking at their street status.
The Mexico episodes are my favorites.
@@Wasserkaktus Whole reason why mafia families had that rule. it makes you a stupid arrogant chump that endangers everyone. the loud ones always got whacked first.

Tyco my favorite breaking bad character
I like how when the big guy stuck out his hand to stop Walt from intervening you can tell by the look on his face that he wasn’t doing it for his boss’ protection but rather Walt’s safety
"Are you saying... that I'm stupid?!?"
Man at this point I'd just sprint to Canada, there is no correct answer to that question
Lol
I'd have said something like "Sorry, I am stupid. Won't speak for you again". Could possibly have deescalated the situation

@@kapitanstark1922 he'd still punch once but wouldn't kill, i guess
@@kratosih6067 Tuco: "So you're implying, I'm stupid enough to hire a stupid bodyguard?"
The contrast between Tuco and Gustavo is very interesting. Tuco is loud and Gustavo is silent, yet both are very intimidating.
Both killed their own henchman with the other henchman, Walt and Jesse in horror
Tuco is terrible to his men compared to Fring, yet they both evil
@@AY-qy4jn Victor: "Am I a joke to you?"
@@TopicalEssay i said they both evil. What Gus did to Nacho is truly disgusting. Victor moment is probably common for tuco thou.
Then you have Lalo who is a mixture of both which makes him the most intimidating imo

This timecode is tight, tight, tight yeah!
Tight tight tight yaah👌
Honestly my fav character. The unpredictable nature of tuco gives so many emotions. Love early BB
There is a callback to this scene in _Better Call Saul_ in season 1 episode 2 "Mijo" where Saul is desperately trying to negotiate a lesser punishment for the 2 skateboarders from Tuco when No-Doze mouths off again and Tuco gets right in his face and growls, "Stop helping." He should have listened.

Foreshadowing
@@Vergil1876 foreshadowing a scene that already happened in breaking bad. Not too impressive but I’m glad they made the reference at least.
@@turdshack4228 Well you never know someone could watch BCS first and decide to watch BB afterwards because of it, then it really would be foreshadowing.
@@angryman_ that’s so true. I guess if you watch it that way then it would seem like foreshadowing. That’s an interesting perspective.
2:06 That's when Heisenberg became Walter White again.
actually true
2:27 this is the moment Walter White become Heisenborg
‘Blue yellow pink. Whatever it is just keep bringing me that’
Tuco 😆
“Why don’t we all just relax” 💀 that line was delivered exactly how i feel like it would in a situation like this in real life
Walter's initial shock is what makes this show great! He begins to get used to it at a realistic pace.
Jesse's equally horrified face was hilarious
0:54 The way tuco looked at no doze,i can't stop laughing 🤣🤣
XD
He literally can't believe no doze said that, he was so taken aback lmao
The way his face changed from happy to annoyed instantly 😂
This whole segment was priceless lol
I know yeah he’s like….
Wtf!?????
This whole scene is darkly comedic, I love it
You can describe whole BB with that description
There's nothing remotely comedic about it, you just want to sound like an intellectual by making some Lame opposite comment
@@Carltonwanks this scene is comedic because of how tuco reacts to things what are u even talking about
@@ernestvincent595 only an immature kid would find it Funny " Ha Ha TUCO BEAT HIM UP, Ha HA TUCO SCREAMED"
@@Carltonwanks lmao what
This is the moment that tuco became tucoberg
Tuco was such a great character. He's absolutely terrifying. Intelligent, perceptive, charismatic, manic, cruel, hyper-violent, physically dominant, and when he gets his tweak on he is granted Barbarian rage.
He's basically a demon. Everyone should steer very very clear of this hellspawn in a human suit.
dunno if i'd call him perceptive lol
Intelligent and perceptive are cap bro he didn't even notice Walt trying to poison his burrito and let Jesse grab his gun because he got too close
>intelligent
>perceptive
come on bro
Youre describing Lalo
How can we "steer clear" of a fictional character? Your profile pic confirms u are a classic soyboy
Guard: “ breathes ”
Tuco: Did u say me stupid
Tuco in BCS could actually listen to reason, Tuco in BB is so meth'd out he snaps at anything
and nacho saw it coming too
@@sergiobarros_ yes he definitely did
Tuco probably became crazier due to prison.
@@H.K.5 plus by the time Tuco returned from prison, his uncle was in a wheelchair, his cousin was dead and he found out his right hand Nacho was a big time rat. Probably pushed the dude over the edge.
@@Illuminandi_ Yeah when you think about it, no wonder Tuco was so unhinged in Breaking Bad. He was bad in BCS but not too bad.
I like that in Better Call Saul, you get more insight to this. Tuco's henchling had again, said something and Tuco tells him "Stop helping", showing that this here in Breaking Bad isn't the first occurence and Tuco never really liked him. And it likely was a long line of talking out of turn that caused Tuco to beat him up here. Of course, this is still very much a very violent overreaction, and Tuco is still crazy, but I like to see more insight to this.
Kudos to the directors for letting him die to make the scene real! Love the dedication.
bravo vince!
truly a vince moment
Vravo Bince
At 2:28 he showed he is the real psycho
2:22 unpayable scene
In the original script, he was supposed to beat Jesse to death instead of No-Doze. It was important for Walt's character. Aaron Paul's charisma saved Jesse and Aaron's career.
1:58 is honestly so brutal, not because the punch itself, but because he literally runs toward him so he can keep hitting him. He wants to beat him as much as possible in the shortest amount of time and doesn't even let him hit the ground for a full second before continuing.
Not a bad idea honestly. When I used to get in fights, outside the bar etc. I'd immediately run at them like that after catching them on the chin. I don't want anyone getting right back up in case they weren't badly dazed. Just end it there. Plus it was just a reflex for me for some reason from the beginning. Run right at them jump on top
Yeah that’s kinda what you’re supposed to do lmao
@EL34Glo no one asked about your playground battles

0:10 thanks for translating there Jesse
"Be careful when you hit it because it kicks like a 12 gauge when it comes on"
Seeing stuff like this is part of why Walt became the man he was in Season 4-5. Watching someone get beat to death in front of your eyes over practically nothing will change you.
I love when walt tries to step in and the heavy guy gestures like "nah man, for your own safety, just leave it."
"Okay heisenberg!!! Next week. Hahaha" Tuco summed up in one sentence. Intense, to calm, to hysterical. You really were on the edge of your seat not knowing what he'd do in any given scene. Props to Raymond Cruz
