Raylan vs The 21 Foot Rule - Scene | Justified | FX
/ fxnetwork - บันเทิง
I don't think anyone saw that coming 👀
I bet the writers saw it comin'. 😀
As soon as he said the 21 foot rule.
Do you mean the downfall of a new series?
😂😂 i never did
The anticlimax is even funnier (so to speak) when you consider that he's spent the entire season mouthing off about the 21-foot rule to try to come off like a badass. Instead, he just came off like the moron he was.
I still love the line: "You sure you've thought this thru Danny?"
He really didn't. 21 feet only matters if you don't announce the plan prior.
@@cecilkeith195121 foot rule doesn’t exist. That’s why Raylan hasn’t heard of it.
@@benjbutton Yes it does and it's well documented and covered. That doesn't mean it's proven but saying it doesn't exist is like saying The Moon doesn't exist.
@@SamaelVR well no its a rule established from a drill that was used a lot but its hardly a "rule" by modern understanding. It only has any merit if you're unable to assess a threat in time. Knowing its coming especially for someone like Raylan its practically a joke though.
@@NateO123 Knowing it's coming is exactly how all the documentation usually tests it. Obviously your ways of hiding when the attack comes in a test environment is limited. I wasn't disputing whether it was a "rule", that's up in the air. But pretending it's never been discussed or doesn't exist is absurd.
This is the reason why we tell kids not to run with scissors.
Or, more importantly, sharp knives.
because raylan will shoot you dead if you don't kill yourself. the kentucky boogeyman of scissors.
One of the best shows ever made, every single episode has a moment like this, and they are all great.
except for the last season...uneven
One of the best shows and this one of the best scenes...the dialog, the 21ft premise and ending up being killed by his own knife. It's often said that truth is stranger than fiction...this show's fiction often rivaled truth or at least an enhanced reality.
@@4EyedAnimation it slowed down just a little but considering how good it was throughout its still a great ending.
Nope. The current season sucks.
Yeah it was. Justified always had a twist on the outcome u thought was gonna happen & what actually occurred. Raylan must’ve been Irish because he was always lucky
Definitely did not saw that coming. That 21 feet rule didn't take into account tripping hazards.
Love the air this show puts into a scene, letting it bleed organically.
Also love how Raylan doesn’t pull his trigger too soon.
Elmore Leonard was one of the greatest writers ever. His dialogue and action was all so real. Like how real people talk and walk.
Fun fact: they had a hard time shooting this scene cuz Timothy Olyphant couldn't stop cracking up at the situation
I mean, I cackle every time I watch it so I can't really blame the man.
The paperwork on this scenario might be the worst he ever had to deal with.
Not really the “CSI” team would be able to tell by the angel of the entry point that he fell on the blade and he’d have a mark from what ever he tripped on 200 plus sized guy so he’d just have to do the same paper work as if he pulled his gun
if he never touches the body or knife the physical evidence would clear him.
that's exactly what I was thinking, this is gonna suck to write up
Guy charged me with a knife, fell into a hole, stabbed himself in the skull. Seems pretty straightforward and easy to me.
Now shooting a woman through her dead boyfriend while laying almost drugged out in a bathtub....
I could just see his boss asking: "so it finally happened, Raylan... You figured out a way to kill someone without even having to shoot them"
That closing line has always been way up there in my favourite Justified quips. Cracks me up every time.
One of my favourite deaths on this show. Just so stupid and random, it just takes all the wind out of the expected confrontation between a gunslinger cop and a sadistic knife nut with his zany theory. And of course it's so low-probability that everyone suspects Raylan just somehow killed the guy with his own knife.
This was probably the best possible ending to one of the worst characters in this show. What a great show.
The Crowe’s were awful, at least Dewey is entertaining
@@JRMAV1
They truly were and Michael Rapaport was the absolute worst. Just terrible as Daryl.
It was best show on tv at the time. Now back again. Always couldn’t wait till the next week…
I have watched through this entire series multiple times. Including watching every episode as it dropped new. I am so glad for City Primeval. Timothy is fantastic in this role.
City Primeval was a huge disappointment, though.
It was just good to have another season. But the villain was just not good enough. Wasn’t that smart. Just a loose cannon that somehow was able to just keep being a loose cannon forever.
Might be the only occasion raylan was slow on the draw. Danny charging at him surprised him lol
Leave it to a Crowe to hoist himself by his own petard. 😂
That disappointed tone that Raylan has when he said, "I woulda said something. I swear to God, I didn't see it either." Almost like he wanted to kill him.
Raylan is the angriest man in the show, after all.
i don't think the 21 foot rule was made for Raylan. Remember his first Crow (Duey?) where the Crow had a shotgun AIMED at Raylan, and Raylan asked: "Do you think You can rack a load Before *i* can draw? It's GOOD to be lightning fast
@@brianbalster3521 The twenty one foot rule is commonly trained for by law enforcement in the Tueller drill. Sgt Tueller was with a agency out west (Vagas I believe) when he analyzed that if someone is within 21 feet they can and have stabbed people because an average person can cover this distance before most people can draw and fire a shot much less a disabling shot. Remember just because you shoot someone doesn't mean the fall down right then and there. Even if you totally destroy the heart the average person can still function before the brain shuts down due to blood loss. This is why LEOs really don't like letting people get closer than roughly 21 feet.
He did he’s not a cop to serve justice he’s a cop to punish what he sees as evil he’s fine locking people like Ava up but if your violent he’d rather put a bullet in you instead
It’s more about Raylan’s southern hospitality and style and his respect for the game that is life rather than a raw desire to kill him. There’s a certain honor that should be respected by both parties when you play the game for blood.
Mythbusters tested the 21 foot rule. It only works against someone if by surprise and only if they don't have a round already chambered. Trying it against a fully-aware and ready lawman with a round chambered is a guaranteed death. That isn't even taking into account Raylan's quickdraw abilities.
I remember it differently. They showed that you will get off one shot, but not really well aimed, and not sure to 100% incapacitate the attacker before he reaches you with his knife.
And with bullet wounds, apart from the ones that hit the brainstem, the attacker will be alive long enough that he still can cause deadly injuries to the defender with his stabbing item.
So chances are, both die.
With less than 21 feet or when the attacked has his back towards the attacker, if i remember correct, they didn't even manage to get the gun out of the holster.
Somewhere else i saw someone trying out dropping to the ground backwards or a sideways roll, as this moved the attacked out of the direct path of the attacker and resulted in enough time gain to aim. (still no guarantee to be unharmed or survive)
They tested the science behind it without the psychological aspect they were useing safety knifes and guns and not trying to hurt eatch other so not taking in the high chance of a hesitation on the shooters side or the boost in physical ability adrenaline gives as for your pointing out round in the camber cops arnt usaly allowed to do that or even touch there weapons till a check list of things happen so yes the rule of 21 is a thing it’s why it’s taught Tom self defense class and in non sports martial arts
It's not a "rule" in any event. It is simply a recognition of hard reaction time math and the limitations of bullets versus human beings. The attacker has no mental lag, they are initiating. it will take them "x" time to cover "y" distance (minus the length of their arm and weapon) to get a potentially lethal blow. There are hard physiological times from recognition of the "go" signal to the body being able to start the draw and get a round off. The minimum neurological time for any human to perceive a stimulus is about .25 seconds, at that point your "draw to first effectively aimed shot" time becomes meaningful. Given the average time from start to impact of a knife by the attacker, you need either a rocket fast draw, or, better, to also have trained not just to draw, but draw and move, or, better, not left a clear lane between you and a suspected aggressor in the first place. There are literally 1980's era training videos on this on youtube featuring Dan Inosanto. Mythbusters is not a qualified source of information on defensive firearms use.
@@carebear8762 i agree, just wanted to add to _Mythbusters is not a qualified source of information on defensive firearms use_ ->Which they never intended it to be. They were just testing out things they heard for their and the viewers interest.
@@nirfz Gotcha. I should have been less pendantic. Have a great day.
I love how every time the foreshadow a certain style of showdown (the guy with the ice pick for example) it always gets subverted.
I don't think they subverted expectations for the Ice pick showdown. Raylan just won.
@@josephbrambil2868 It was the ONLY icepick gun scene on the show with a TABLECLOTH. A shocking amount of people saw it coming.
@@Iansco1 yep, that was literally my point
quarles's quickdraw gadget fails in the finale and he literally gets dis armed lmao
@@juckoosaurus not only that, when he "debuts" it in front of Raylan for the first time Raylan just clowns him for how stupid it is.
“You sure you thought this through Danny?” 😂😂
Look before you leap!
White Boy Bob said, “No he didn’t.” th-cam.com/video/ZZptIb82dtk/w-d-xo.html
Danny went out the way he lived:
Like an idiot.
That scene never gets old.
Neither does Danny.
Love how they always had the most brilliant bad guys lol
Definitely ready for this show to start again.
I remember this moment live… I ram near pissed myself from laughter. I always knew Bravo 3 wasn’t gonna make it lmmfao
one of my top ten, or twenty, fav scenes. Up there with shooting the assassin dressed as a deputy.
Don't forget the ice pick dude.
"Man, I hope I got that right."
Honestly, I think Danny has one of the most hilarious deaths on the show.
Him and Robert Quarrels getting 'disarmed' are definitely up there.
I don't know why this is SO funny every time I see it. lol
I don't know how many times I have watched this scene and it is hilarious EVERY time. lol
Years ago before I retired I watched a fool charge an old partner of mine with a butcher knife.
There wasn't a hole just uneven sidewalk.
He didn't stab himself, but his forehead sure made a nice splat.
Always beware of uneven sidewalks.🤣🤣🤣🤣
‘But I ain’t done mourning yet.’
Knew it was going to get real then
One of my favorite scenes in any show
I love that FX is pumping out these clips ahead of City Primeval, but why are they all so dark? I'm cross referencing this with the episode on Hulu and it's noticeably darker, as have been the other clips uploaded on this channel.
yeah, cause that show was so lighthearted...
I have been thinking exactly the same, no way they were this dark (as in contrast not subject matter) in the actual show.
I don't even know what happened. What did he do? Step on a rake?
I love the honor, "I would have said something. I swear to god I didn't see it either."
Reminds me of the Raylan quote from the first season 🤣
Raylan Givens: “You're gonna bob and weave out of the path of a bullet? .. That I'd like to see.”
That "oh" at 2:41 was solid gold! 😂🤣
One of the first things I learned in kindergarten was “don’t run with scissors”.
Raylan is BAAAAACK ❤❤
Eschew was correctly spelled in the subtitles?!? That is amazing!
This scene makes me cry every time I see it.
It reminds me of the shootout with the icepick man in the second season. Raylan knew what was going to happen and pulled the tablecloth. In this scenario Raylan just had to take a step or two backwards to be more than twenty-one feet away.
The guy's just about to pass into the Great Beyond and he's talking like he's just having a cordial conversation.
One of the funniest scenes ever.
I suppose I shouldn't but I found that really funny.
He’s one of the best actors on seal team !
Well, that escalated quickly......
The only thing I regret watching this show is that I never will be able to watch it the first time :(
Such a great show
Imagine the verbiage in the report about this one. At least Raylan doesn't have to do another use of force report.
That is why you don't run with sharp objects.
No one would have believed it if it wasn’t on camera.
This is still the funniest, most anticlimactic end to an antagonist in Justified to me. Every time I see it, it makes me think of Hot Fuzz and Timothy Dalton's end in that.
Best scene ever!
The 21 foot rule came about after Dan Inosanto showed how he could get off the ground and put his knife to people's throats before they could draw. The problem is, Inosanto was an elite athlete, ran 10 seconds for the hundred yard dash in highschool , and was quick as lightning. Making a rule based on an elite level person's ability is dumb. Will get most people shot
Several colleagues over different jobs have trained with Dan or his immediate students (I haven't), they basically speak in awe of the guy's skill, despite holding high ranks themselves.
@@aaronleverton4221 The guy is a walking encyclopedia of martial arts. I've trained with some of his students. They probably know a hundredth of what he knows./
@@louieb3430 Yes, I know.
The people drawing must have not been much. A quickdraw artist can fire an aimed shot off the draw in a fifth of a second.
@@louieb3430 I bet you believe when karate guys break boards with their hands it's solid oak too.
Epic Danny, epic
MANY LAWMEN HAVE DIED FOR NOT RESPECTING THE 21 FOOT RULE
Painful and horrific, but also hillarious
I don’t know whyyyy people keep trying my boy like this.🤣 Raylan didn’t come to play with y’all!
He literally did nothing in the scene. That is part of the humor.
@@trueblue6201 I’m aware. The point is that he was going to attempt to kill Raylan. Which wouldn’t have worked out for him. Thus my comment.
Plot hole: Raylan was a firearms instructor at FLETC ("Glynco" in the series). He would know what the 21 foot rule is. I went through as a student in 1995 and as a firearms instructor in 2001. The 21 foot rule was discussed often in training.
The wife and I liked this series so much we watched it two times through and the new season In Detroit
Darwin at work.
Imma have to start watching this
He's not cut out to be in law enforcement for where ever goes somebody dies
Yup and the crime rate drops dramatically every time someone dies.
@@RogueDragon05 No it doesn't. Crime gets worse and worse as the series goes.
@@alphanerd7221 Not really, characters like the Crowders, the Bennets, Wyn Duffy and mostly anybody else were already there doing their things. Even Robert Quarles who comes to Harlan during the show only comes cause of the mall property that Garry gave up to the mob guy, which would have happened regardless of Raylan being there or not. Alot of the show is about criminals trying to fill power voids left by the people Raylan kills so it might seem like more crime is happening but the crime was still going on regardless, maybe more stably and not quite as violently but the fact is that he (and sometimes Boyd) leaves all these criminal empires in ruins. Hell even the drug cartels had the local sheriff in their pocket long before Raylan ever got back.
@@RogueDragon05 There were like 4 gang wars with gunfights in the streets over the course of the show. Before that the Crowders had been stably in charge for a generation.
"more stably and not quite as violently "
That means less crime.
"Hell even the drug cartels had the local sheriff in their pocket long before Raylan ever got back."
That never changes. At the end of the show Raylan just installs another drug cartel.
@@alphanerd7221 Ahhh your one of those "The definition of peace is the absence of conflict sort" If you don't hear about it... it didn't happen and bad things never happen as long as officially there is peace. Gotcha. Violent people commit violent crimes and when law enforcement dismantles the violent organization the violent people get more violent so just leave the violent people alone and ignore it. And no it dosen't mean less crime cause shootings aren't the only things that are "crimes" and my point wasen't that Raylan single handedly took down the cartel or ended their influance my point was that the violance they brought was already there without Raylan, the cartel was killing people in exchange for the sheriff's becoming their agent to do as they wanted.
The violence very much would have grown and continued without Raylan around, Ava would been murdered by Bo, Boyd would still be a neo nazi and blowing people up, Wynonna would probably be in prison or dead along with her husband, Loretta woulda been raped and killed or killed by Coover. Doyle would still be covering up for Coover and Dickie's crimes, I could go on. Raylan didn't start the fire it was always burning. But he did clear out plenty of the thugs that brought more violence.
Look I don't agree with but I'm not gonna get into it further over a tv show. Realistically Raylan would be a lousy Marshal but the last thing the show in general is realistic which is what makes it fun.
~ DANNY’S R.I.P. RULE -
“DEN-DIVE & DIE.” ~
He just rewrote the script.
Just watched this episode 😂😂
I own the entire series. I’ve watched it 4 times.
It is way past excellent.
Oh now that was funny "oooh"
Raylan looked a bit worried when he was coming towards him at high speed...😱😳🙏
We never learned if the 21 foot real was myth or reality
He really stepped in it that time
I couldn't help but laugh the first time I saw this.
Same!
That is like the IRL situation that happened in LA when a guy running from the cops domed himself mid jump
You know how grief makes you stupid? Well, here's a prime example...
Cleansing the gene pool one dope at a time.
I remember there being more dialog where he explains the 21-foot rule, was that just taken out of the clip?
I would not have said anything. Danny reaped exactly what he sowed.
Did ANY Crowes survive this show? Between Boyd, Raylon, and stupidity seems like the whole family got wiped out. Wait, the hot redhead sister survived, I think.
I think Kendall’s still alive.
I wonder what the last thing that went through his head was.
The knife.
Ha!
I'm guessing 12" of stainless steel.
Rules of justified
Rule 1: don't pull your gun on Raylan
Rule 2: don't enter another person's house unless your invited
Good show
I altered between loving Fannys character and hating him. He is great on Seal Team though.
Holy cow! It's funny almost a coincidence, Donut Operator has a vid of a perp shooting himself in the head as he tries to exit a vehicle. No muzzle awareness.
Looks like someone else has watched _"Surviving Edged Weapons."_
I like the idea of the 21 foot rule. But it has a potential flaw, what if the other guy has the same idea? Now you both only have 10.5 feet to come up with a new idea.
My backup is a Ka-Bar because the 21 foot rule. It's strange. I open carry a pistol and a combat knife and no one messes with me. Ever. Never been mistreated by any law enforcement officer either.
Appears to me more in line with the 6 foot under rule.
This was such a good show that they don't make anymore.
OHHHHHHH you didnt hear about Justified: city primevil then? its litterally a new justified series where Raylan is in detroit
@@Bomtaker01 Putting Raylan in Detroit is like putting Spiderman in a suburb. I've read the book the new show is based on and the main character is very, very much not Raylan. The vibe and pacing of the novel is totally different.
@@Laneous14 but he is very much like the one in the 1st series? i don't see your point, the guy said they don't make shows like this anymore and i mentioned that Primeval just started airing, its a little different Tone wise but Raylan is still being the lawman that i remember from Justified seasons 1-6
The screen is so dark I can’t see what happened. Someone clue me in?
I found it odd that they gave up on the whole quick draw thing after season 1. With this scene I thought we were finally going to get more but nope! Dude had to go screw it up and fall in a hole.
You should have been at least slightly happy with season 6 then.
Same! I thought we get to see it again with Raylan going against boon but got something unexpected.
a lot could go Wrong with a draw! Just ask Travis' gardener
The fire arms master on set probably told them this is the only way he was winning the fight, Rayleigh isn’t really a quick draw he’s a little above average but the reason he wins is he really dosent have a problem killing you so the other guy even if it’s his job to kill will hesitate even if it’s only for a fraction of a sec that means he wins in this case he’s going up against someone basically just like him he likes to kill he’s not going to hesitate he’s inside a distance where he can sprint and take him to the ground before he can full clear the holster and aim the bad guy has about20 pounds on him meaning he’s going to be stunned when he hits the ground
Well Raylan goes for chest shots everytime. Lots of his opponents went for head shots which is a lot harder to hit. Case in point season 6.
So it would appear that a open grave between the combatants leads to an exception of the 21 foot rule.
I still laugh hard every time he falls into that shallow grave that's dug there 😂😂 It was totally unexpected if you forgot about the dug hole 😂😂😂
How the heck are there so many crows? They all seem to win the Darwin Award when dealing with Raylan Givens?
Looks like I shouldn't have seen this recommendation... since I'm only as far as episode 5x06.
But this is definitely satisfying to watch.
I would have liked J.B. do something similar to Danny.
I was a bit disappointed to see A.J. Buckley play such a character, I like him in CSI:NY and definitely in Seal Team.
*A threat shot in the Heart with no blood flow can continue to act for approximately 15 seconds... That's approximately 150 feet, or half a football field of running- or 100 feet of running & five seconds of shooting or stabbing.*
There's a couple of mistakes you're making. The most obvious is that saying the heart "can continue to act for approximately 15 seconds" absolutely does not mean that at second #14 function is still 100%, which your calculations imply. The next thing is that not everybody is a movie villain; people who sustain a mortal wound sometimes change their plans and sometimes they miss a beat or two. Even ones that don't die sometimes stop what they were doing.
@@ronaldbell7429 You're right. Sometimes thanks to the adrenaline and the meth they keep going for the better part of a minute. And you don't have to be working at 100% to injure or kill somebody with a knife or a firearm. Sometimes the bad guys give up just like they do in the movies, but I wouldn't bet my life or anybody else's on it.
I believe Mr. Crowe, by his actions (as he began his run @ Raylan) had made up his mind how he wanted to go...in that split second, Raylan knew, too, that Mr. Crowe wanted this last confrontation...
I believe neither Raylan nor Mr. Crowe
would have chosen this 'fall' as Mr. Crowe's last stand; from beginning to end, none of the Crowes ever cut themselves a break. Mercy!
how do you possibly explain this situation to someone else?
Only cool guys say "eschew".
It sure looked like Raylan had a problem if the guy didn't fall in the hole.
After the 1st episode of the new Justified, I'm not very thrilled.
"I would a said something, but..."
21 foot rule applies to un-trained individuals that aren't expecting violence. It allows you to cover the distance due to the element of surprise. I don't know how Danny was unawre of Raylans reputation for shooting people. ...
Fun clip... but zero chance of anyone in federal law enforcement being unaware of the Tuellers drill.
I think Danny should have invested in better backyard lighting.
*dewey.
They just took over his house haha
I’m up to season 4. Haven’t seen even one scene with food. Do these people ever eat?
