My old roommate sadly refused to watch Kingsmam because he saw the sequel first and said because it was so bad he would not watch the original no matter what I said.
I love how it brilliantly tricked the audience. At first, I thought he just wanted to run away, but I didn't expect him to just need extra space to make a jump.
I love that immediately after what you think is the most ridiculous thing, the widow jump across a city street, they follow it up with "multi stage bullet" like it's a goddamn rocket lmao this movie is great.
That's the same kind of bullet they called "clean" and "untraceable" in the beginning. I suppose it has no markings from shooting because it sheds the shell that has those markings, resulting in an undamaged bullet.
Contextually (for the story) Mr. X would have had to have had a moniker already for them to have the conversation on the phone (without it being weird or confusing to have one person out of nowhere start to call someone else a nickname for shits and giggles, not to mention calling the guy a name that would hint at the assassination plan isn't something the greatest killer in the world would stupidly do), along with the fact everyone in the org called the dead guy Mr. X as well, means the dude was always called that. As a visual gag for the audience, obviously the guy called Mr. X, dying on a (X marks the spot) was the joke to begin with.

(plus the mr.x moniker is kinda contextless if you only saw the movie)
@@Spoopball if one only saw the movie all that "Mr. X the greates assassin" goes under the radar and can feel like a mockery for falling into the trap,like a back and forth "yo mama" battle,with Mr. X starting it by the sheeps and wolves "to kill the greatest assassin,you dont send a bunch of rookies" quote with Cross retaliating by "still not stupid as much as a guy who falls for the decoy trap,cya" besides,Mr. X realized he is done onyl when Cross mentioned the decoys as only than X looked down and spotted his end

@@Duffman69able He had to lure the guy to the place marked with the X, on top of the roof the shot at the woman came from! It is like in billiards! You can go straight ahead, but it is much more fun to do it in the most complicated way!

@@Mohitmahipal its a fun movie, this scene is a bit goofy yeah but the over the top action is the focus of the movie, its pretty fun the whole way through
That’s brilliant! People in the Matrix who know they are in the Matrix and like Cypher hate living in the crappy real world eating protein goo, so they go back in with god mode and game life.

So in return of getting to live back in the matrix, they work for the machines taking out unwanted variables.
I remember watching this in 2000s, I was blown away. There was no action movies like that since the final Matrix, everything was grounded and boring. In some degree Wanted was ahead of its time and predicted 2010s over the top action style of John Wick and The Raid
Daywatch and to a degree Nightwatch from the same director have the cinematography seeds that wanted have and are far from perfect script wise but still amazing movies. Specially Daywatch.
The scene where he jumped through the window deserved an award category of its own to be made, just so that it could get something. I've watched that scene easily a hundred times
This movie was like the last gasp of comic movies being bastardized for the 2000s. Meaning “oh the audience won’t get supervillains running the world, make them assassins getting hidden messages from god in cloth…”

If only snipers could see and shoot that far with that kind of accuracy, nvm about the wind direction and the travel time 😆 but I too loved this movie :)
This scene is kinda wrong , the amount of distance the bullet traveled before hitting him, he should have fired first and then said the line , they were just decoys.
that actually is pointed our by many movie mistake seekers channels as a continuity error mistake (the bullet being nearly inside the head when the line ended vs. cross who haven´t even fired right after he said the line)
I know this scene was a reference to the comic but I still find it weird this is the only time such an inhuman ability is shown. The rest of the movie people do crazy shots and stunts but compared to this they actually feel somewhat plausible.
Curving bullets ruined the entire movie. I can accept long jumps before I can accept curving bullets. You would need the strength of superman to come close to doing that.
@@spartanx169x Not even superman strength could curve a bullet using the method depicted in the movie, it defies laws of physics. It would take supernatural power for the bullets to be curved that way.
Shot him downtown all the way from Bridgeport lol. So basically he was right by Sox park and shot the guy who was all the way downtown. That’s 30 blocks haha.
0:14 seen the movie x times but this is the first time i hear that "charging" sound and suddenly even seing the pointer dot,was always thinking "Mr. X" turned himself into that focused mode after he saw the workers on the other building and simply shouted when he heard the gun firing,but it was simply too late for the lady
It's 50/50 true when someone take adrenaline in their blood system, some might run faster or can lift something heavy like refridegerator for short period however in real life after the adrenaline wear off the body will take a lot of damage which cause bone cracked or muscle tearing and have to recover many months so i just be here to enjoy the movie 😊
I still love this movie one of my favorite ones but the fact that he didn't get glass in his mouth and he made that leap yet okay and there's no upward vertical he's going straight no no no.
This movie is 100% insane, but it is a guilty pleasure. It is so over the top.
As it should be. :)
Yup. The soundtracks make it 1000x better
Hello longevity Jim
I love that his secondary pistol is a muzzle loader
Specifically used for easier curving, as in this movie's logic it'd be easier to curve a musket ball than a bullet.
Still quicker than reloading.
Modified to be magazine fed, look closer
@@angusdelaney905 is that even possible irl?
@@l0sts0ul89 no idea
I ain't gonna lie, I thought this movie was ridiculously bad when it first came out but now I think its ridiculously fun.
Nostalgia will do that
1:04
yeah this is the scene i watched and then immediately turned it off
Same. I thought it was stupid. Now I realize it is action candy. Just enjoy the ride.
There’s a thin line between the two
This movie posits that having high blood pressure gives you super powers
I think it had more to do with panic attacks but yeah valid
@@psychohelmetfounder High blood pressure? Panic attacks?
I SHALL BE IMMMORTAL!!
Not super power, but high performance above the average olympic athlete.
They think they can manipulate the Adrenaline rush.
lol
I love how that 2 1/2 foot elevator gave him a extra boost to jump a whole football field
Barely
An extra boost to reach the other building but not enough to maintain the level.
Look at when he started dropping from his jump. He needed every inch the elevator gave him.
Just when I thought he was gonna run for his life, he seemed panic by pressing the elevator button repetitively but it's just to give him extra space to jump 😂😂 such an alpha move
Imagine how much further he might have gone if he's been smart enough to shoot out the glass before he hit it.
The coolest character killed immediately in an action movie ever!
same thing with Lancelot in Kingsman

Absolutely. Absurd. Unrealistic. Ridiculous. And absolutely awesome. I love it.
The comic is better
@@nightmareblackdoctor3478 eh, they are too different

this movie was all over the place and kind of dragged to the point good movie still though
I love how it brilliantly tricked the audience. At first, I thought he just wanted to run away, but I didn't expect him to just need extra space to make a jump.
All a bit far fetched really. There's no way he could run in those shoes...
maybe they simply look like dress shoes, but respond like athletic shoes?
I mean you can but not very good
Bodyguards for politicians/royalty/etc. has to run in similar looking shoes all the time.
I wear similar shoes to work, they fall off if you try to run and have no traction...lol.
Look what John Wick can do in those shoes.
I love that immediately after what you think is the most ridiculous thing, the widow jump across a city street, they follow it up with "multi stage bullet" like it's a goddamn rocket lmao this movie is great.

@crushert except it didn't shed the exterior. There would be markings on it
Its so dumb. I absolutely love it.
@crushert the bullet going through the guys head is incredibly distinctive though. Literally has custom engravings.
What funny is that Wesley's father and the killer were called X and Cross.
The same thing, but different angles
maybe,just maaaaybe,he titled him "mr. X" as a mockery that he felt for his trap

the action scenes in this movie is OVER THE TOP
