What's with the trailer music volume set to three times louder than the clip? Not good when you're wearing headphones and have to set the volume to max to hear the dialogue!
Q: Why has Edward Woodward got 4 ds in his name? A: Because if he hadn't, he'd be called Ewar Woowar! 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you, thank you, I'm here all week. Don't forget to tip your waitress.
He'd do the same to Spacey that he did to Darth Vader... One punch to the stomach.. with a chop to the neck just to be sure, (but it was the stomach punch which did the death bl;ow.. and it terrified The Greek)
Dear @@Erekose2023 It was a 3 strike combination during a moment of Red Mist Rage. The 1st punch was a right handed, straight power shot to the solar plexus which would have hurt like hell and shocked the heart. The 2nd punch was also a right handed straight power punch to the Adams Apple of the throat which would have interrupted breathing. As the character played by big David Prowse bent over in pain Callan used his right hand on David's shoulder to bend him forward until he was lying face down on the kitchen table in front of Callan. That's when Callan delivered a single right handed chop to the back of Prowse's neck. It was one hell of a scene and they'd not be allowed to show something like that on TV these days as it was just too damned realistic.
The character of “McCall” is technically the spiritual successor of the character “Callan” from the 70’s - or even the same character who changed his name 😃👍

The Equalizer was a distinctly different series thanks to Edward Woodward and really sophisticated writing. Much better than the recent movies though Denzil is really good. But the writing makes his character appear out of character.
I enjoyed both. Because you see, the movie version worked because it was more action oriented for a movie, while the series version worked because it was more about detective nuances for a series.
What REEEEEELY annoys me, is how the character of Robert McCall was 'hijacked' to make commercially successful movies starring Denzil Washington! I have no issues with Denzil Washington - but 'Robert McCall' was - and should always be - the late Edward Woodward's character!...
I don't mind another actor playing the character, after all, lots of different people have portrayed James Bond over the years. The problem is that the guy in the movies (played by Denzel Washington) is not Robert McCall. He is somebody else entirely. Robert McCall was a British government agent, not a United States Marine.
I love and adore Denzel Washington. BUT I definitely hate it, when degenerated language is used. Especially those totally unnecessary f- words. There is this slaughterhouse scene and never in my life I heard so many f- words. What kind of writers do that and what kind of movie producers/directors allow that? It's a shame that viewers nowadays seem to like f- words very much. I definitely go with John Travolta and his campaign against f- words. Don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against swearing but everything against f- words. Especially if additionally used for describing even positive things. By the way: What the heck happened to the good old 💩? Why are nowadays only f- words used?
Edward Woodward lived in Cornwall and would regularly do his Saturday shop in Tavistocks Pannier Market. Unfortunatley he died before he had a chance to buy any decorative 2mm thick steel artworks hand crafted from the bloke at "Rusty Relics".
just started rewatching equaliser from the very first pilot...there's a fight scene between woodward and one of the bad guys but the fight edits are a bit slow so you clearly see woodwards stunt double and his dodgy wig,entertaining in its own way!
Woodward never learned to drive and used to hitch-hike to and from theatres in London - as he says on the brilliant all-cast audio commentary on the 'Hot Fuzz' DVD. An extremely modest down-to-earth guy - one of countless under-rated British actors who many of us would far rather watch than over-rated actors like De Niro and Pacino(Italian-sounding names ending in 'o' can really boost your pizazz it seems..)

Spacey is a great 👍 actor 🎬 (personal behaviour excluded). Woodward took the scene over the moment he appeared and kept it 👏 👌 💯 👍. Bravo, sir. Denzil's "Equaliser" is a different character. Woodward played men who intimated (scared the ####! out of) you. He rarely used violence. ❤️
Would that detective be so cocky if he knew the man who he was talking to, took out Darth Vader with a single punch ? oops sorry... mixing characters/stories etc :)
Thing is, McCall wasn’t as physical as Callan. He could take someone out easily, but most of the physically demanding work was done by Mickey. McCall could intimidate people just with the sheer tone in his voice
Your missing the whole point of the show 🙈 the point is he doesn't look dangerous as people think he's some old guy ...but he is a killer and very very dangerous it's proven in many episodes he is highly trained both in firearms and hand to hand just because you are older doesn't mean your any less deadly besides he was only mid 50's. One episode he kills about 4 terrorists first he rams the metal spike from toilet roll holder into a guys neck then he strangle the next! If he was as young as in his callam days the premise wouldn't be same plus he would probably still be working for the company.

So No Way Home? What episode?
Eddie three trees was in the wicker man, callan, the equalizer AND hot fuzz. What an actor.
Nice bloke too - he lived in a village I regularly visit and was happy to chat
Used to love watching this in the 80s my dad told me about Callan in the 60s Rest in Peace Edward Woodward
I'm hoping that one day all episodes of The Equalizer will end up on Netflix or Amazon Prime.
The first episode is free to watch here.
@@dónalÓNiadh Thanks, I've seen it hundreds of times.
LOL that look Woorward gives Spacey, "Yeah right buddy, you go for it, see how it ends".

That's Quite Interesting.
Edward took an awful chance turning his back on Kevin Spacey... God knows what could have happened 🤣🤣🤣

Great series.
I just realized that the guy who introduces him to Kevin Spacey is the cop from the big Lebowski
Yep, Leon Russom, the general from Prison Break.
Kevin Spacey, that adds a hole other level of darkness to the plot
Wow - Kevin Spacey
OH GOD THAT MUSIC!!! (LOVE IT!)
Detective Sgt Cole would eventually developed himself into a top hostage negotiator.

That saloon gunslinger music section from Copeland at the end is fun.
Edward Woodward FTW.
My god look at spacey
So that's who it was, I knew he looked familiar
rocking a flattop
It's the same actor who plays the bad guy in the Denzil Washington remake! Amazing!
@@Felix-Sited That was Marton Csokas, not Spacey
1986 it was a good series

Superb.
It's Keyser Soze!
He was Mel Profit before in Wise Guys
can't believe they cast queen latifa in the reboot,what an insult
should have had Robert McCall's son carry on the role
William Zabka ?
Seamus Power got the equaliser against Kilkenny in 1959

28 years. He was born in 1959 the episode was 1987.
@@credibility63 ’Twas a humorous comment based on his youthful appearance.
@@BenjWarrant So he looked older than his age.
So did the 16 year old actor at the adult party where Spacey hit on to him.
Must have been one of Kevin Spacey's first acting jobs......

Seargeant is the same actor who plays the cop who throws cup at the dude in The Big Lebowski i think.

No comments on Kevin Spacey in the role of the bad cop?
If you're following the court case,Kevin definitely has fast hands.
RIP Mr Woodward! x
Being as he is English Robert McCall probably was par of an elite unit and had more than two kills but thats classified right? !
I wonder what he would of thought of Spacey's unsavourly taste for young men.
A 16 year old actor drinking at a Hollywood party could look 25. The Me Too movement just wanted a major scalp.
This was Kevin Spacey before he became really famous and then threw it all away because of his unsavoury sexual behaviour.

I love these algorithms Kevin Spacey in London court today for sex offences dated 28th of June 2023. 😳😱😨

Cant recognize that was Kevin Spacey
Spacey's could of blown him out the water .
Literally
2:55 - 3:03 ! !
Edward Woodward sounds like the noise when you fart in the bath
Spacey certainly has quicker hands..
Woodward would have been better playing this role when he was in his callan days , he would be more believable physically
Thing is, McCall wasn’t as physical as Callan. He could take someone out easily, but most of the physically demanding work was done by Mickey. McCall could intimidate people just with the sheer tone in his voice
Yes I agree like Anthony Hopkins in Hannibal
Callan - Now that's a show I've not heard mention of in a while!
He was a brilliant character and those opening titles to the show - Class!
Your missing the whole point of the show 🙈 the point is he doesn't look dangerous as people think he's some old guy ...but he is a killer and very very dangerous it's proven in many episodes he is highly trained both in firearms and hand to hand just because you are older doesn't mean your any less deadly besides he was only mid 50's.
