Idea for react, lucifer tv series fight scène between him amadiel, micheal.there is a verenigen glass breaking scène in the fight. Or star trek deep space 9 , episode trails and tribbilations. Where they in the episode mash TOS 1964 scènes with 2000s cast
Why dont you guys react to star Trek CGI from the old shows to the new one on how the technology changes so the vfx evolved from show to show and movie to movie
Was it really even an error though? It just seems like it'd be hard to track a car moving like that as you're passing by fast while zoomed in. This is more a case of doing it live and hoping for the best. You can't really plan the perfect shot with so many variables.
Fun fact about the Bond set. After they were done with the submarine hanger, the set went to Riddley Scott for the filming of Legend (1986). The set was furnished with a foam forest with some real trees for filler, birds, and lots of bird feather shavings for snow. Over the course of filming fumes from gas-controlled bonfires gathered in the rafters. Then one day this powder keg of a set caught fire and it ALL burned to the ground. Ridley Scott shelved his work and went golfing after seeing the set completely engulfed.
The CGI Daniel Craig hands were in the Shanghai Fight earlier. Not in the Macao fight. You see it in Skyfall. He’s wearing the gloves when he’s fighting the guy who falls out the window. They shot it with the gloves on, but had to CGI hands later. It’s the fight with Patrice
I just checked it, turns out they just left it in. All of a sudden James Bond has gloves on and they just kept it in, they do look good on him if I do say so myself
@@EliasSchnetzer it's a continuity problem, he just had gloves on all of a sudden but was barehand before. But I checked the clip and they just left the error in
@@EliasSchnetzer no, he didn't. he had it when he saw the guy, but he (maybe) holstered it and put the gloves back to fight this guy. M told him to interrogate him and THEN kill him
The Timothy Dalton films are so good and surprisingly dark and gritty for the time. Seriously, he deserved to be Bond for longer, but Goldeneye went into development hell for years.
Agreed. His two movies were among the best in the series, and Dalton was (IMO) the Bond actor who best nailed the balance between humor and intensity that makes an ideal Bond (or really an ideal action film hero in general).
Ahh, that’s brilliant 🤣🤣 almost like the effects guys were willing to take some shit for a dumb effect just to make a python reference. In that case I have to respect it. Thanks for the fun fact man I’m a huge Cleese fan had no idea
@@tatetwar7792 Given how crap it looks it was clearly done as a last-minute idea, likely suggested by the producer, director or actor rather than the VFX artists
@SanityTV_Last_Sane_Man_Alive but it was "right in front of the camera" - the camera is on the side facing away from you to capture the background, the display is what faces towards you.
Moonraker had janky 1970's special effects.... but it's the only movie I know which had the space shuttle taking off inverted like the real shuttle did, every other movie gets it wrong, or just uses stock footage. The best sequence in that movie is right at the start where there's a fight for a parachute while falling from a plane. Really, you should do a Stuntmen react to some of the classic bond stunts - like the base jumping in Spy Who Loved Me & View To A Kill. The fights on top of a Train and a Plane(!!!!) in Octopussy. Using live aligators as stepping stones in Live & Let Die. And of course the corkscrew car jump in Man With The Golden Gun
Timothy Dalton is the most underrated Bond and his two movies are excellent and he deserved more. I slept on him for too long because of what I heard about it, but having a Shakespearean actor in the role adds gravitas and levity unlike any other Bond performance. You believe it when he's angry, and every other emotion. Everyone should check them out, it's almost Craig before Craig, in some ways I prefer actually.
The most jarring thing about the Spy Who Loved Me shot is the absolutely perfectly straight horizon line of the ocean. Other than that it looks great! Especially for its time
17:33 that granate throw is actually pretty realistic, they teach soldiers to throw/roll them like a bowling ball basically in indoor use, as it reduces the chance of accidently letting go of the trigger
Also, it appears to be tossed away from where he's looking because the camera is near the target, looking up. The arc of the grenade as it falls means it moves away from the guy's (and the camera's) line of sight, but would presumably end up pretty close at the end.
@@mrcroob8563 if you actually watch the clip, he is looking where he is throwing. It just seems like he isn't because his head is cocked to the left. You can actually see he has his eyes trained on where he is lobbing the grenade.
@@mrcroob8563 thats not the main point. The actor just looked towards the camera (sort of mistake) and had to let go away from the camera for obvious reasons - imagine you hit the lens with that or any of the operators in the face. 😅 All he had to do to make the shot perfect was look where he dropped the grenade at.
Living daylights is such an overlooked gem. I found both Timothy Dalton movies very very enjoyable and I don't understand why they are so overlooked and unknown. They also both have absolute banger songs!
Fun fact: the submarine hanger set was designed by Ken Adam who had been the Bond production designer since Connery. He was having trouble lighting the set due to the size & ended up contacting an old colleague for help - Stanley Kubrick. He agreed to come in under absolute secrecy on a Sunday to light the set with Adam & it was Kubrick who suggested building the lighting into the set.
@@atomicmrpelly 'Two old blokes'....one was one of the greatest production designers of all time & the other probably the greatest filmmaker of all time. Plus, the story came from Ken Adam.
Fun fact guys: for the supertanker set Ken Adams had some guy he knew come in and help plan out the lighting. That guys name was Kubrick, Stanley Kubrick. He says it somewhere in one of the dvd extras.
Kubrick's inspiration was, instead of trying to illuminate the surfaces directly, to use highlight reflections from the metal elements to define the space.
Just noticed that the henchman with the black hair behind Bond at 19:52 is Liang Yang, who plays the guy Tom Cruise and Henry Cavil fight in the bathroom in Mission Impossible Fallout! Great performer, he needs to have a proper fight with Bond in a future movie!
The thing is you can probably get one of the the stunt drivers on as well as that was Top Gear's "The Stig" - Ben Collins has a RUclips channel now and does a lot of collaborations.
Love it, great episode! While the fights in The Spy Who Loved Me look and sound goofy now, that helicopter car chase ending with the Lotus turning into a sub still holds up for me. Some really cool shots in it, especially with the helicopter popping in and out the scenery.
same here, its stunts are some of the best ever, i love timothy dalton. I know people complain about the plot being confusing and ‘stupid’ all the time but seriously, its such a fun globe-trotting adventure with phenomenal action sequences, yeah Whitaker is a shitty villain and the mansion fight dull, but everything else is fucking awesome. The Gibraltar opening sequence, the defection scene in Bratislava, the Aston Martin car chase, the entire military base action scene in Afghanistan that is like 30 minutes of pure excitement. Love this film, always entertaining
100%. Got so many great scenes, and Dalton acts the shit out of them. I haven't seen in years... but I have a feeling the army soldier toy showdown will have aged badly!
Yep, though I kind of wish they'd picked a better scene to represent the older films, because the one they chose wasn't really meant to be super intense. Something like the train fight in From Russia with Love would have been way better.
The gloves are from the Patrice skyscraper fight in Skyfall not the Komodo pit and only for a couple of shots. Bond’s not wearing them when he’s holding his gun at the beginning of the scene but they’ve suddenly appeared when he catches Patrice’s hand.
that airplane shot with the cargo net was insane. with Alien Romulus coming up soon you guys should do a ' reacting to all the alien movies' and see the difference in creating those movies over again a really long time scale
You guys should do a whole episode about the 2007 Beowulf movie. That movie is fascinating because they were clearly going for a sort of oil painting look for the characters, but they hadn't figured out how to mocap without dead eyes yet. It's a pretty good movie, honestly, but it's hampered by vfx that have aged pretty poorly. And that goofy naked fight scene.
if the wole movie is done like that you teally don't need a whole episode, 5 minutes would do, instead an episode of cg movies would be cool, like that Final Fantasy movie. they had to do things the hard way when they made it back then....honestly i THINK they did talk about it already though
@@jimmyju76 You may be right. There was just a lot of technical innovation that went into making Beowulf, it would be cool to see them talk about it in depth.
@@errolteichert3052 the innovation is great but i dont see no one saying anything good from those films, and i fear it would be just a few minutes of jokes over how bad they are
They should've comparing the intense train fight scene from "From Russia With Love" over the intentionally relaxed fight from Spy Who Loved Me to represent "the classic series". Even thought the FRWL fight is from the 60s, it still holds up as one of the best of all time.
RONIN (1998) has got to have the best car chase sequences I've ever seen, long but intense shots, you never miss one beat of the action, it's fantastic
🚗 🚓🚓🚓🚓🚓🚓🚓🚓 So true. The low bumper shots are viceral, especially on a big screen, Also, real engines.. I always wonder if they'll dub over engine sounds in an electric car chase, because they're silent.. no fun at all for a heart pumping chase scene.
In Tomorrow never dies, there is an awesome car chase with Bond driving on the backseat, thats a nicely build moment with some interesting particle effects
A 2nd Harry Potter Episode ! • Dumbledore vs Voldemort fight in HP5 • differing approaches to vfx as the directors changed • continuity between HP & the new fantastic beast films (the physics of the magic!)
when John Cleese walks behind the invisible car and his legs glitch out - i feel like that may be a subtle reference to the Ministry of Silly Walks - one of Cleese’s most famous sketches from Monty Python where he does a signature goofy walk ver reminiscent of that glitchy effect.
The thing is this whole scene here and in the other film with him was it was supposed to be a moment of silliness and comedy. It sounds as a lame excuse for bad effects, writing and everything else but it was kinda the same with the other Q. Silly walk, flesh wound, making a mess with the old equipment, all of that.
@@PedroSilvahf well you don’t hire John Cleese for a role unless comedy is the goal. he’s probably the most influential and talented performer in the film. (not that i’ve seen it… or any James Bond movie for that matter mostly because of how boring and formulaic and misogynistic they all seem) BUT i see your point and im definitely not defending the goofy effect if it detracts from maintaining the boring formulaic misogynistic tone of the film. that would be inexcusable. just guessing at the reference.
@@nstig8orUmmm, you bash on James Bond for not being PC enough in today's culture, yet ignore all of John Cleese's antiquated bigoted ways? Okay, you do you Mrs. Bias.
@@CrAzYpotpie i never said it wasn’t PC. i said it seemed boring formulaic and misogynistic. i also said i’ve never seen a james bond movie so obviously i couldn’t speak to whether or not it’s politically incorrect - but i also don’t care - since i don’t plan on ever watching it, (mostly because of the aforementioned boring and formulaic bit) I also never said i was a john cleese fan. i just said he was a talented/influential performer. which is true regardless of his personality.
Get Bill Pope on the couch to discuss the miniatures, SFX and puppetry of Team America! You could then talk about The Matrix, Spiderman, Antman and the Wasp, Jungle Book and other movies he's worked on....
I remember the extras on the DVD of Team America where Pope basically said "Finally, a movie where I can see and film in camera what will be on the screen!"
Love you guys, appreciate the hole of corridor crew lot being around , each one of you do such inspiring work and thank you for the quality entertainment over the years ❤
I feel like if the Skyfall glove thing was real, it would have happened during the skyscraper fight - he's trying to stay low-key so would make more sense to wear the gloves then. Plus, after the fight, he suddnely has black gloves back on - immediately!
Yeah, I'm almost positive the story of the gloves is when he's walking through all the glass doors and walls as the sniper is getting the rifle out in the skyscraper. If you watch that scene his hands do look weird and cgi-ish.
it's 100% that fight, he has no gloves and his hands look weird while he has his gun out then at the end of the fight he has gloves on when the guy is out of the window
The switching from Casino Royale and The Spy Who Loved Me was hilarious. It also shows you not only how much "Bond" franchise has changed, also action sequences in film since the 70's.
@SanityTV_Last_Sane_Man_Alive One has guys who have never trained a day in their life portray highly trained operatives and the other is months of training, expertly choreographed to yes, look cool but also look at least convincingly competent. The seventies stuff looks like kids in a schoolyard because they didn’t care about it as much back then. Moore’s Bond was action comedy, nit meant to be realistic at all. And both of them are targeted at teenage boys.
11:07 No, there weren’t safety lines, all they had was a parachute hidden beneath their clothes, they did stunts like this in previous bond films and it was awesome. Great vid btw
I think funniest one is in "For your eyes only", where in cliff fight scene they completely forgot to change the background in one clip. So for a brief moment movie viewer sees a studio scaffolding as a background
Waterworld! The seaplane hooked to the sailboat is insane and there are a couple shots that seem impossible if they did it for real and even crazier if comped.
8:54 One of the best, Bond openings, I think. Nearly the whole sequence was filmed in Gibraltar, using a lot of military areas closed to the public. Civilians can only travel so far up 'The Rock' because of that. The Land Rover going over the cliff was filmed at Beachy Head, Sussex, UK. Beachy Head is the highest chalk sea cliff in Britain (530 feet).
21:34 In the komodo dragon scene, when the camera is low to the ground and filming Bond from behind when he's getting ready to fight the big guy, his hands are weirdly shiny. They look very matte in the other scenes
@@Isnogood12 It's both. The skyscraper scene is why the gloves were in play for Bond's wardrobe in the movie, and then they had him wearing them during this scene AS WELL. This is the one that involved more extensive work for the removal of them, though. You can indeed still see them at 21:35
Okay hear me out.- Doug Jones. The best "creature performer" (suit actor?) of all time. Star Trek, Hellboy, Pan's Labyrinth, The Shape Of Water, Hocus Pokus, etc. It would be a great opportunity to talk about a rare form of effects. Not just a monster in a suit, a central emotive character that we care about in an absolutely miserable torture suit. Doug Jones would definitely come on the show if you tried! It would make my year and it has all the trappings of a top-tier episode.
I totally agree that Bond films are essentially time capsules of the state of cinema at the time. The same can be said of their scores and title songs. Really goes to show how much pop music has evolved in 60+ years. Great episode Corridor!
yeah i agree it felt raw and unrestrained like nothing was planned or that it was being viewed live by someone not expecting it. perfect panning just feels like "oh, yep, it's a movie shot"
I got one recommendation, though it's a music video so idk...in the song "Life is good" by SiR, you see an explosion at 2:25, where you see some WEIRD warping around the rapper/character, until he jumps towards safety, then it seems to transition to a stunt double (you see the clothing being lit up by the actual explosion)
It'd be really awesome if you could take a look at the WoW "The War Within" Cinematic, it's looks so amazing. The "CHARGE " Blender short would be awesome as well. As well as *Aslan from the Chronicles of Narnia!* where you could do a comparison to the "live action" Lion King. Also at the end of second Chronicles of Narnia movie there's a big water creature, so it might be cool to see what you think about that. The *last agni kai fight from ATLA* would be perfect for for the Animators React. It's so stunning! And for stuntmen react It would be cool to see you react to the duel from "Potop", it's really good sword fight
6:55 - honestly, I feel the Casino Royale scene is too over-the-top to be cool/tense - it's just obviously stunt actors in a stunt scene doing a "big action" sequence. The old version is clunky/cheesy, but I think it does a much better job of conveying an actual man who can get hurt and who should fear danger. New James Bond is just a superhero with unstated superpowers, like a mini-Captain America. I think new-Bond is quite Americanised in the way it communicates to audiences.
@@GuineaPigEveryday Yeah things definitely started getting out of hand with Brosnan (the surfing bit etc.) but not Moore; that's literally the clip we're comparing it to. But still it's become even moreso recently, like the clip at 19:28 - that is straight up the demeanour of a superhero that doesn't fear mortal wounds
14:36 I think if they lessened the contrast to simulate fog you see on objects in the distance, this probably would've actually stood up decently well.
I have a combo of VFX and stunt work for you! The Road House remake starring Jake Gyllenhaal. They apparently tried something new with digidoubles in fight scenes to make them feel more realistic...
The one bond scene that i will always remember is the car jumping a river on a corkscrew ramp, and then just to go back the otherway on the same ramp corkscrew jump... Maybe they (CoridorCrew) could cover it in one of their jank episodes.
You guys should do a breakdown of "The Prince of Egypt" 1998 animation movie. It had really interesting detail. Always thought it was a little ahead of its time. One of my favorite movies.
the Bourne trilogy is one of the best action trilogies ever. Paul Greengrass' choices for camera work is refreshing when taking into context the state of action movies of the time. and Quantum of Solace's opening scene is awesome. It's hyper. It's chaotic. That's exactly how the characters feel throughout the sequence. And the fact that it picks up exactly at the end of of Casino Royale is even more fantastic. sam is just......... wrong on this one. Wren gets it.
Yesss finally I actually commented years ago for them to react to the living daylights plane stunt. They also did it 30+ years before uncharteds church version.
It's not technically CGI but Men In Black (1997) is almost 30 years old. And despite it only used make up and visual effects, it stands out great to this day honestly. Oh and it is hilarious, I think it would be a great episode to watch. Eric Brevig worked as a VFx supervisor if I remember correctly, and he did a fantastic job
Hey corridor crew, I just wanted to say that Daniel Craig's glove hands was a thing but not in the sequence that yall reviewed l. If you look at the scene in Skyfall, where bond sneaks up on the sniper, his hands were cgi. The proof is that at the beginning of the sequence, he takes off his gloves but the scene was shot with his gloves on so they use cgi to replaced his hands. You can see this when he's sneaking up on the sniper in the shadows. Then at the end of the sequence the gloves are magically back on as he drops the guy. The story is real just not in the scene you guys debunked.
Fun stuntman fact about Casino Royal, The man who Bond is fighting on the crane and running around everywhere is Sebastien Foucan. one of the early founders of Parkour, more specifically "Freerunning" which is supposed to be a more direct translation of Parkour from French to English. Man is a parkour legend, and a very chill dude
Fun thing about the Skyfall gloves: This happens twice. It also happens in the Shanghai sequence, because at the end of the fight sequence Bond is wearing gloves when he wasn't previously, and they disappear again. Originally, it seems he was supposed to because the first promo stills for the film also showed him wearing gloves there.
I don't typically leave youtube comments, but if you guys could make one of these themed/deep dive episodes on the Jurassic Park movies it would make my heart sing
You’re next themed video should breakdown VFX in Liam Nesson movies, everything from Taken, The Commuter, and The Grey, to more unique works like The Ballad of Buster Scruggs and Schindler’s List.

That first car chase error wasnt even VFX, thats why Wren was confused
lol yea, wren was all "I'm caught in the moment, that looked and felt great." Sam and Niko are, "THE CARS OUT OF FRAME! CUT!!! RESET!"
Was it really even an error though? It just seems like it'd be hard to track a car moving like that as you're passing by fast while zoomed in. This is more a case of doing it live and hoping for the best. You can't really plan the perfect shot with so many variables.
Shot looks fine to me,bonus point for not exploding in a huge fireball
I think they did that on purpose to make it feel less planned and polished. It’s kind of the goal of shaky cam action scenes
@@RealEllenDeGeneres yeah it didn't seem like an error at all.
So glad to see The Living Daylights getting some love! Both of Dalton’s Bond films are super underrated and are well worth a watch.
Dude I freaking love Living Daylights, one of the most underrated Bond films with the most underrated Bond actor.

@@joaovictorkelima2551 go on?
You wouldn't believe it but...entirely digital...
Very Roger Moore inspired.
Whoever edited the Casino Royale/Spy Who Loved Me sequence deserves a raise 😂
You left out the legitimately badass moment from that SWLM rooftop fight, where the henchman is holding onto Bond's necktie.
Where's Fekkesh?
@@thomasbrowne2007pyramids!
that airplane shot with the cargo net was insane. with Alien Romulus coming up soon you guys should do a ' reacting to all the alien movies' and see the difference in creating those movies over again a really long time scale
You guys should do a whole episode about the 2007 Beowulf movie. That movie is fascinating because they were clearly going for a sort of oil painting look for the characters, but they hadn't figured out how to mocap without dead eyes yet. It's a pretty good movie, honestly, but it's hampered by vfx that have aged pretty poorly. And that goofy naked fight scene.
if the wole movie is done like that you teally don't need a whole episode, 5 minutes would do, instead an episode of cg movies would be cool, like that Final Fantasy movie. they had to do things the hard way when they made it back then....honestly i THINK they did talk about it already though
@@jimmyju76 You may be right. There was just a lot of technical innovation that went into making Beowulf, it would be cool to see them talk about it in depth.
i think Beowulf is a great flick
That was the one with the ridiculous 3D spear, right?
@@errolteichert3052 the innovation is great but i dont see no one saying anything good from those films, and i fear it would be just a few minutes of jokes over how bad they are
dude, whoever did the edit on old vs new fight scenes...Hatsoff to you! i loves every second of it and the reaction.
They should've comparing the intense train fight scene from "From Russia With Love" over the intentionally relaxed fight from Spy Who Loved Me to represent "the classic series".
Even thought the FRWL fight is from the 60s, it still holds up as one of the best of all time.
And the one in Spectre for good measure
Also the one from Live and Let Die too. (There are quite a lot of train fights in bond movies)
@@PickleLipsMiguel thats the one I was thinking of! Thats a good one for sure.
Also SWLM's fight in the train w/Jaws 👍
From Russia with Love is my favorite Bond movie. The train fight scene is really intense and confined into a small space.
Living Daylights is the most underrated Bond movie and probably my favourite.
Confession: I normally fast forward over the sponsored segments, except when Jordan is hosting them! This lady is simply captivating!
RONIN (1998) has got to have the best car chase sequences I've ever seen, long but intense shots, you never miss one beat of the action, it's fantastic
🚗 🚓🚓🚓🚓🚓🚓🚓🚓
So true. The low bumper shots are viceral, especially on a big screen,
Also, real engines.. I always wonder if they'll dub over engine sounds in an electric car chase, because they're silent.. no fun at all for a heart pumping chase scene.
Ugh, all these old movies hiding their crappy visual effects with fun writing, originality and compelling characters, gross.
😂
I know right it's disgusting
How about we force entire movie on cg artists and make it a cg asset compilation of 2 hours, sounds cool
What originality? They're all adapted.
@@Plexippuspetersi92 only like half of them are. And it's very loose anyway.
In Tomorrow never dies, there is an awesome car chase with Bond driving on the backseat, thats a nicely build moment with some interesting particle effects
A 2nd Harry Potter Episode !
• Dumbledore vs Voldemort fight in HP5
• differing approaches to vfx as the directors changed
• continuity between HP & the new fantastic beast films (the physics of the magic!)
Sam with those glasses looks like that one dogdeball god from regular show
Here's a fun theme: Cereal commercials with kids interacting with the animated mascots 😊
when John Cleese walks behind the invisible car and his legs glitch out - i feel like that may be a subtle reference to the Ministry of Silly Walks - one of Cleese’s most famous sketches from Monty Python where he does a signature goofy walk ver reminiscent of that glitchy effect.
wow, never thought about that. good catch 👍👍
The thing is this whole scene here and in the other film with him was it was supposed to be a moment of silliness and comedy. It sounds as a lame excuse for bad effects, writing and everything else but it was kinda the same with the other Q. Silly walk, flesh wound, making a mess with the old equipment, all of that.
@@PedroSilvahf well you don’t hire John Cleese for a role unless comedy is the goal. he’s probably the most influential and talented performer in the film. (not that i’ve seen it… or any James Bond movie for that matter mostly because of how boring and formulaic and misogynistic they all seem) BUT i see your point and im definitely not defending the goofy effect if it detracts from maintaining the boring formulaic misogynistic tone of the film. that would be inexcusable. just guessing at the reference.
@@nstig8orUmmm, you bash on James Bond for not being PC enough in today's culture, yet ignore all of John Cleese's antiquated bigoted ways? Okay, you do you Mrs. Bias.
@@CrAzYpotpie i never said it wasn’t PC. i said it seemed boring formulaic and misogynistic. i also said i’ve never seen a james bond movie so obviously i couldn’t speak to whether or not it’s politically incorrect - but i also don’t care - since i don’t plan on ever watching it, (mostly because of the aforementioned boring and formulaic bit) I also never said i was a john cleese fan. i just said he was a talented/influential performer. which is true regardless of his personality.
The Bond invisible car scene with John Cleese looks to me like an easter egg reference to his Monty Python sketch "The Ministry of Silly Walks"
Get Bill Pope on the couch to discuss the miniatures, SFX and puppetry of Team America!
You could then talk about The Matrix, Spiderman, Antman and the Wasp, Jungle Book and other movies he's worked on....
I remember the extras on the DVD of Team America where Pope basically said "Finally, a movie where I can see and film in camera what will be on the screen!"
So thats where that uncharted 3 sequence came from! 11:00
My dawgs out here saying ‘Soulless’ instead of ‘Solace’
My immediate reaction too!
And you're talking in prefab internet cookie cutter sentences. So what?
Love you guys, appreciate the hole of corridor crew lot being around , each one of you do such inspiring work and thank you for the quality entertainment over the years ❤
I feel like if the Skyfall glove thing was real, it would have happened during the skyscraper fight - he's trying to stay low-key so would make more sense to wear the gloves then. Plus, after the fight, he suddnely has black gloves back on - immediately!
You are correct. And in addition to that you wouldn’t wear gloves indoors with a tuxedo
Yeah, I'm almost positive the story of the gloves is when he's walking through all the glass doors and walls as the sniper is getting the rifle out in the skyscraper. If you watch that scene his hands do look weird and cgi-ish.
it's 100% that fight, he has no gloves and his hands look weird while he has his gun out then at the end of the fight he has gloves on when the guy is out of the window
You can see the gloves at 21:35
@@AWSVids No you can't. That's just shadow on his hands.
12:55 HELL YES!! You can also use infrared these days etc.
The switching from Casino Royale and The Spy Who Loved Me was hilarious. It also shows you not only how much "Bond" franchise has changed, also action sequences in film since the 70's.
I preferred the fight in spy who loved me as it was tense and the lack of music cue made it instantly tense
@SanityTV_Last_Sane_Man_Alive One has guys who have never trained a day in their life portray highly trained operatives and the other is months of training, expertly choreographed to yes, look cool but also look at least convincingly competent. The seventies stuff looks like kids in a schoolyard because they didn’t care about it as much back then. Moore’s Bond was action comedy, nit meant to be realistic at all. And both of them are targeted at teenage boys.
11:07 No, there weren’t safety lines, all they had was a parachute hidden beneath their clothes, they did stunts like this in previous bond films and it was awesome. Great vid btw
In this video: Sam can't say solace
I think funniest one is in "For your eyes only", where in cliff fight scene they completely forgot to change the background in one clip. So for a brief moment movie viewer sees a studio scaffolding as a background
Waterworld! The seaplane hooked to the sailboat is insane and there are a couple shots that seem impossible if they did it for real and even crazier if comped.
8:54 One of the best, Bond openings, I think. Nearly the whole sequence was filmed in Gibraltar, using a lot of military areas closed to the public. Civilians can only travel so far up 'The Rock' because of that.
The Land Rover going over the cliff was filmed at Beachy Head, Sussex, UK. Beachy Head is the highest chalk sea cliff in Britain (530 feet).
13:15 The Ministry of Silly Walks.
21:34 In the komodo dragon scene, when the camera is low to the ground and filming Bond from behind when he's getting ready to fight the big guy, his hands are weirdly shiny. They look very matte in the other scenes
Already been said in other comments, but the gloves thing was another scene.
@@Isnogood12 It's both. The skyscraper scene is why the gloves were in play for Bond's wardrobe in the movie, and then they had him wearing them during this scene AS WELL. This is the one that involved more extensive work for the removal of them, though. You can indeed still see them at 21:35
Okay hear me out.- Doug Jones. The best "creature performer" (suit actor?) of all time. Star Trek, Hellboy, Pan's Labyrinth, The Shape Of Water, Hocus Pokus, etc. It would be a great opportunity to talk about a rare form of effects. Not just a monster in a suit, a central emotive character that we care about in an absolutely miserable torture suit. Doug Jones would definitely come on the show if you tried! It would make my year and it has all the trappings of a top-tier episode.
Check out the documentary Men In Suits (2012). Jones is a fantastic interview.
Crimson Peak, Falling Skies as well. Having Guillermo on would be amazing and we all know he's a big nerd.
Honestly your ads with Jordan are so good i usual skip through them to watch uninterrupted and then go back to watch the ad haha
10:42 How could you not bring up this being the inspiration for one of the best scenes in Uncharted 3.
I commented years ago for them to react tld plane stunt. Load of cg in the movie version lol
Loved the James Bond episode! But I was a little disappointed that you didn't cover the corkscrew car jump from The Man with the Golden Gun.
Finally we got James Bond!!! It's a great dedication as a series to how cgi has evolved ober time!
Imma be honest. I think that the camera not following the car quite right adds to the chaos of the moment.
The Zero G scenes from The Black Hole are exceptionally well done.
I totally agree that Bond films are essentially time capsules of the state of cinema at the time. The same can be said of their scores and title songs. Really goes to show how much pop music has evolved in 60+ years. Great episode Corridor!
For the first “error” of the camera unable to keep up with the crash, I actually think it looks better & real versus the constant chops before!
That chase scene was almost unwatchable. Which is a shame because there were some good elements in there.
@@chaos.corner Even worse because there were longer cuts in the trailer! The shot where the car crashes is longer in the trailer than the movie.
yeah i agree it felt raw and unrestrained like nothing was planned or that it was being viewed live by someone not expecting it. perfect panning just feels like "oh, yep, it's a movie shot"
I mean it looks good because it's the only cut in the whole chase that lasts over 0,79 seconds.
Fun fact. Quantum of Solace is only 1h 46m but feels twice as long when watching.
i'm glad these are finally called out. some of these are like 2-3 cuts PER SECOND.
I've read that the morphed legs in Die another Day is a reference to John Cleese's Silly Walk sketch from Monty Python! ☺️
I got one recommendation, though it's a music video so idk...in the song "Life is good" by SiR, you see an explosion at 2:25, where you see some WEIRD warping around the rapper/character, until he jumps towards safety, then it seems to transition to a stunt double (you see the clothing being lit up by the actual explosion)
You need to review "The Last Starfighter". This was ground breaking back in the day. Maybe even redo the graphics.
So glad you guys discussed the Living Daylights. It has some fantastic stunts and action set pieces.
I'd love a themed episode around The Expanse TV show. 0G wirework, CGI creatures, spaceships, the works.
That show could fill a whole season of VFXAR. And I'd watch every second.
I thought about it the second I saw no-gravity scene with hair not "floating" like in the expanse.
@@Sequ_music Greasy hair? :D
The John Cleese as Q walking around the car was a homage to the silly walks from Monty python. It was a deliberate gaff 😂
I bet, the John Cleese scene was a nod to the "Ministry of Silly Walks"
Sam’s sound effect for the super bumpy speedy shots lives in my head rent free whenever I see a scene like that😂
After that Moonraker bit, would you maybe do a special on zero-G and how it's been done well and not so well?
Idk if it falls into a proper category, but the shootout scene from heat. The sound of the guns is so intense haha. One of my favs
Its Bondin Time
Love all the Bond breakdowns! It was really hilarious watching you guys try to decipher the hands in the wrong scene though 🤣
It'd be really awesome if you could take a look at the WoW "The War Within" Cinematic, it's looks so amazing.
The "CHARGE " Blender short would be awesome as well. As well as *Aslan from the Chronicles of Narnia!* where you could do a comparison to the "live action" Lion King. Also at the end of second Chronicles of Narnia movie there's a big water creature, so it might be cool to see what you think about that.
The *last agni kai fight from ATLA* would be perfect for for the Animators React. It's so stunning!
And for stuntmen react It would be cool to see you react to the duel from "Potop", it's really good sword fight
i believe they did react to the war within already - episode 124, but its the extended cut on their website.
this was a really good episode, you're clearly all having a lot of fun :)
6:55 - honestly, I feel the Casino Royale scene is too over-the-top to be cool/tense - it's just obviously stunt actors in a stunt scene doing a "big action" sequence. The old version is clunky/cheesy, but I think it does a much better job of conveying an actual man who can get hurt and who should fear danger. New James Bond is just a superhero with unstated superpowers, like a mini-Captain America. I think new-Bond is quite Americanised in the way it communicates to audiences.
this
If having inhuman superpowers and stamina is Americanised, I think Moore’s bond and especially Brosnan’s already started that
@@GuineaPigEveryday Yeah things definitely started getting out of hand with Brosnan (the surfing bit etc.) but not Moore; that's literally the clip we're comparing it to.
But still it's become even moreso recently, like the clip at 19:28 - that is straight up the demeanour of a superhero that doesn't fear mortal wounds
14:36 I think if they lessened the contrast to simulate fog you see on objects in the distance, this probably would've actually stood up decently well.
I have a combo of VFX and stunt work for you! The Road House remake starring Jake Gyllenhaal. They apparently tried something new with digidoubles in fight scenes to make them feel more realistic...
The Post Malone fight, lol, looked so weird haha
The one bond scene that i will always remember is the car jumping a river on a corkscrew ramp, and then just to go back the otherway on the same ramp corkscrew jump...
Maybe they (CoridorCrew) could cover it in one of their jank episodes.
I'd say the Brosnan/Bean fight in Goldeneye is very modern and ahead of its time.
i don't know if it was "ahead of it's time" --- the 90s were chock full of amazing action moments. i do love the love for Goldeneye, however.
Totally.
Still the best fight in any Bond film.
You guys should do a breakdown of "The Prince of Egypt" 1998 animation movie. It had really interesting detail. Always thought it was a little ahead of its time. One of my favorite movies.
My heart yearns for stunt man reacts 💔
I'm sure Gui is working hard on it at Corridor!
the Bourne trilogy is one of the best action trilogies ever. Paul Greengrass' choices for camera work is refreshing when taking into context the state of action movies of the time. and Quantum of Solace's opening scene is awesome. It's hyper. It's chaotic. That's exactly how the characters feel throughout the sequence. And the fact that it picks up exactly at the end of of Casino Royale is even more fantastic. sam is just......... wrong on this one. Wren gets it.
bond james, bonds the james, bames jond's having a stronk, call a bondulance
Yesss finally I actually commented years ago for them to react to the living daylights plane stunt. They also did it 30+ years before uncharteds church version.
I wonder if the invisible car leg thing was an inside joke referencing John Cleese’s walk in the Ministry of Silly Walks skit from Python.
It wasn't an inside joke as much as it was hiring Cleese to milk his Python fame.
It's not technically CGI but Men In Black (1997) is almost 30 years old. And despite it only used make up and visual effects, it stands out great to this day honestly. Oh and it is hilarious, I think it would be a great episode to watch. Eric Brevig worked as a VFx supervisor if I remember correctly, and he did a fantastic job
Can you guys take a look at the 2008 Journey to the Center of the Earth movie and its sequel during the next VFX artists react?
Yess!!! Best film franchise of all-time!
Hey corridor crew, I just wanted to say that Daniel Craig's glove hands was a thing but not in the sequence that yall reviewed l. If you look at the scene in Skyfall, where bond sneaks up on the sniper, his hands were cgi. The proof is that at the beginning of the sequence, he takes off his gloves but the scene was shot with his gloves on so they use cgi to replaced his hands. You can see this when he's sneaking up on the sniper in the shadows. Then at the end of the sequence the gloves are magically back on as he drops the guy. The story is real just not in the scene you guys debunked.
Fun stuntman fact about Casino Royal, The man who Bond is fighting on the crane and running around everywhere is Sebastien Foucan. one of the early founders of Parkour, more specifically "Freerunning" which is supposed to be a more direct translation of Parkour from French to English. Man is a parkour legend, and a very chill dude
Fun thing about the Skyfall gloves:
This happens twice.
It also happens in the Shanghai sequence, because at the end of the fight sequence Bond is wearing gloves when he wasn't previously, and they disappear again.
Originally, it seems he was supposed to because the first promo stills for the film also showed him wearing gloves there.
It wasn’t twice. They just got the scene wrong.
I don't typically leave youtube comments, but if you guys could make one of these themed/deep dive episodes on the Jurassic Park movies it would make my heart sing
16:16 listening niko whistle every word got my ears bleed
They needed to hit the de-esser
15:00 the real visual giveaway with the secret base is that the legs don’t extend lower than the horizon line which ruins the perspective.
The missed tracking shot is far less jarring Sam's constantly weird mispronunciation of Solace. It's Sol-ace, not So-lace.
You’re next themed video should breakdown VFX in Liam Nesson movies, everything from Taken, The Commuter, and The Grey, to more unique works like The Ballad of Buster Scruggs and Schindler’s List.
Can Sam please pronounce Solace properly 🙏
