Fun fact, Michael bay saw this rap battle and joked that he must have been drunk to not remember doing this. Indicating that they portrayed him pretty accurately.
Sounds like Bay. The man makes bad movies for a bank check, but he's aware of it and has a decent sense of humor about it. Doesn't mean I forgive how pathetic the movies are, but it helps lol.
In Hitchcock's defense, he was very limited by the censorship that was prevalent in Hollywood during his time. Psycho was the first Hollywood movie ever to show a toilet. That's how conservative they were. He couldn't show a lot of "blood" in his movies. But he kept pushing the envelope as to what was allowed to be shown, which is one of the reasons he wasn't liked by the Academy and the rest of Hollywood.
The Kubrick movie title you're trying to think of is: "Dr. Strangelove, or how I learned to quit worrying and love the bomb" Amazing movie and a pretty scary plot for a comedy.
worked at a grocery store for a while, as a cashier. this guy took his wallet out to pay, and i said, "oh hey, the quentin tarantino wallet", and he told me i was the first person to ever notice
@callmecatalyst that was it, he folded it up and pocketed it and i gave him his change. he was in the cigarette-only register, but i don't remember what he bought.
I love that you were like "Ladies and Gentlemen...Michael Bay" in like the least enthusiastic tone ever. It was like an SNL guest host introducing the musical act for the night when they'd never heard of the artist before and literally couldn't care less. 🤣
"Every single frame a painting" line is (also) a shoutout to a RUclips channel "Every Frame a Painting".

Fun fact Samuel L Jackson not only acted in Jurassic Park but he got given a minor role by Steven Spielberg and his casting crew but through Quentin he got given a much bigger leading role in Pulp Fiction and that dressing gown reference scene at 13:43 is also from Pulp Fiction where Samuel L Jackson and John Travolta's characters talk to him about the body in the car.
This is a little fun fact apparently when the movie psycho first came out people were ordered to sign a waiver stating they was not allowed to spoil the twist in psycho
I'm not sure about signing a waiver, but Hitchcock did instruct theaters to not allow late arrivals in I believe after the first 15 minutes. No spoilers, but what he did in those first 15 minutes was unheard of at the time. Also, my mom said she couldn't shower for a week after seeing it! She was about 20 years old at the time.
"Stanley Kubrick filmed the moon landing, but he's such a perfectionist that he demanded that it be shot on location." I still chuckle about that joke, because I could honestly see him doing something like that. Like, the moon landing was fake, except it wasn't, because Kubrick couldn't stand the idea of anything...less than. And to be fair to Hitchcock, he was working within some seriously prudish directorial lines back in the day, that some of his scenes were considered over the top for the times. Even that little bit of blood was shocking for audiences that weren't really used to it. I mean, we're talking about lines so prudish that you couldn't even suggest that a married couple shared a bed. I think it was the Dick Van Dyke show that drew gasps and criticism over a line even suggesting that they were going to push their beds together one night. Things have definitely changed!
The whole thing with Kubrick and the moon landing came from NASA asking his advice on lighting and photography because the Moon was nothing like anything we've filmed on and he was the expert of film at that time..But people hear NASA talked to a director about what angles to use with certain light and they jumped to it was faked
@@ryanhampson673 Before the "Kubrick demanded it be shot on location." joke started circulating the best reply I saw to that conspiracy theory was: "You know Kubrick didn't fake the moon landing because he'd have made Neil redo his line."
Duvall was not acting in the bat scene. She was really that desperate. And that's the reason he did it. He damn near tortured that woman throughout the making of The Shining. She went through years of therapy after what he put her through. But it did produce one heck of a performance.

I have watched a few of your ERB reactions and you are so insightful and brilliant with your commentary and knowledge of the references/bars. I appreciate you catching all of the bars, not everyone on RUclips reacting to these ERB videos catches as many as you do or is as knowledgeable. The fact that you know so much about so many topics that are mentioned in the ERB's off the top of your head is amazing. You must have an IQ of 145+.
Lord forgive me...but Michael Bay was a whole vibe. He just dropped in there swaggin on em, slapping his nuts all over the place and I'm here for it. The dude rhymed "money" with "money" like 20 times. I don't care. I don't respect his art, but I respect that sauce.
Absolutely. See, I’m not an artist so I don’t see the problem entering a business purely for money. Either you make a good product and customers buy it, or you make a shitty product and it stays on the shelves. Artistic value is in the eye of the beholder so whose to say Transformers isn’t artistic. It’s like when classical musicians shit on pop music saying it’s not real music, or when people shit on classical music, whose to say what’s artistic or not except the audience and enough people paid for the shit Michael Bay created so to say it isn’t art is wrong.
Heck yea, as I replied to Chi above, I really don't get the hate for him, if anything I think he deserves some credit for not trying to act like he's an artist.
Kubrik is absolutely a perfectionist. I believe there are only two scenes/lines that were improvised, A Clockwork Orange Malcom McDowell choosing to "Singing in the Rain" while beating the couple. The Shining, "Here's Johnn-yy". Aside from that, I could write essays about his genius, but that's a diatribe not needed.
There's actually 2 more: Malcolm's remarks when he has the picture test in the hospital (No time for the old in-out love) because Malcolm knew he couldn't fire the Nadsat lines fast enough, and R. Lee Emry's insults as gunnery sergeant Hartmann in Full Metal Jacket were adlibbed, as Emry had been a drill instructor during Vietnam.
@@maddlad_l5257 Scratched his cornea's. I think Kubrick tried to push actors to get the best material on film. As Shelly Duvall once said: At times, it seemed the end justified the means.
@@robertbaker2638 I agree with you, it's not okay too put that pressure on anyone, I was just quoting Shelly's thoughts on it, I mean, she'd know best.
I love how appropriately insane Stanley Kubrick looks when delivering the "127 times" line. The man just looks like he's both very sad and very ready to attack someone with a hammer. One of my favorite film directors. He didn't win this battle, not in my opinion anyway, but ERB didn't do him dirty either. Edit: I also love how matter-of-fact you are when it comes to how you react to things. There's no exaggeration or over-hype, you just point out the facts and let them sit, very mellow-style. I like that.
Barry Lyndon is the movie Kubrick filmed by candle light... but its not about a painting. It's about road brigand that tries to con his way into high society by marrying a rich widow.
really like this one. my favorite is hitchcock's verse, he's so odd. same with winston churchill in teddy vs winston, he's got this different english delivery
@callmecatalyst oh I agree with the beat, I don't know the word "eclectic", but it's old-timey sounding but for me, Winston won for being entertaining. Roosevelt beat him in words with the one rebuttal, "ditch me alive, like yours did". It was just too strong
Though they took a shot at Jimmy Stewart's acting, I do recall reading that he purposefully had a blank expression, so that the watcher or audience could project their emotions onto him.
Spielberg said "You rock as many Oscars as that schlep Michael Bay."...Hitchcock never won the Best Director Oscar but he was nominated 5 times, but they gave him a lifetime achievement award. Rebecca is the only film he directed to win Best Picture.
The very first line of the video is also a reference to Hitchcock's very unusual trailer for Psycho, where he walked the viewer through the house and asked them to imagine the horrors that occurred there.
Everyone's critique of Michael Bay is correct but he is also right in that the industry runs on money not artistic vision. Unfortunately. My favorite ERB.
Candlelight shot was in Barry Lyndon. Still, despite his overly intense way he pushed his actors, Kubrick was really awesome. Starting out as a photographer for Look! Magazine, he knew EXACTLY where everything needed to be and when.
The look of distaste when Michael Bay showed up was hilarious. I personally liked Kubric the most in this rap though that may be because I see that same perfectionism in myself when it comes to things I am passionate about.
Schlep, you're thinking of schlepper, a schlep is a difficult or tedious journey. So Spielberg used the word kinda wrong in this battle. Though schlep is ALSO an alternate term for schlepper.
Weird fact . In the area of England that I live (north west coast)shlep means to walk in a long distance,but I can see the connection between that and the original meaning,because to walk really far means it will take you a long time to get there, whiiis the same as moving really slowly.
Wax (the dude who plays tarantino) is a really good “underground” rapper and i think you could some of his songs on the channel. He’s super versatile and has been rapping forever
I don't see it mentioned already, but Tarantino wasn't just referring to the low blood in the Psycho scene, but how his own blood scenes are said to be as if each character has hemophilia.
It seems odd to me that Hitchcock was basically ignored by the press and the academy. I studied cinema for 2 years and he was by far the most studied and cited director. Then again it was in France, maybe it's a US thing.
i was looking for your reaction specifically after searching for reactions to this, and when i saw your name i genuinely went "omg yes its the smart one", because you just seem to know a lot about a lot
Block busters are large bombs dropped from high altitude bombers, while cropdusters are low flying civilian aircraft used to dust crops. It's a "you're not even on my level, I'm so far above you, and I'm deadly" bar.
during Hitchcocks time there was heavy censorship going on in America, didn't it? If I remember correctly from the movie it was suggested that Hitchcock wasn't allowed to do certain things (like show blood in the legendary shower scene) or only after long discussions (having the shower scene at all) and even then it was sometimes seen as "too scandalous" and stuff like that so it would make sense why he didn't receive much love from the critics.
I don't know how many people notice the diss Stephen Spielberg uses in his opening, because while he's saying became a better director, he also means he saw all of the mistakes Alfred's movies had and became a MUCH better director than Hitchcock
i mean, it depends on how big the steaks and souffle are. Bill Gates was in an interview once, the interviewer asked "is it true you can leap a chair?", and he said, "Well it depends on how tall the chair is" It took me 8 days to finish off a $30 dinner (steak and two sides) from Carrabbas in August. It was my birthday gift to me, a ribeye. Would wake up, slice off a piece, and chew it cold. My favorite, no exaggeration, I love cold, fatty, rare steak. For lunch, some of the potatoes. Finished off dinner in two days though, it wasn't a substantial amount of soup. Would like to think Hitchcock finished off 3 normal sized steaks in one sitting. I envy being that gluttonous
People can hate on Bay all they wan't, but his movies make money for a reason. Few people are better and the kind of mindless action movies where you get to just turn your brain off and relax, and the man has legit talent when it comes to seamlessly weaving practical and CG elements to get the desired effect for a scene. Corridor Crew broke down some shot compositions from transformers and it's insane.
I think i am the only one, but i give this to Micheal Bay. I loved this theme of no one could agree to anything in their discussion about art. Everybody called everybody else out on mistakes or things they themselve considered bad art. And they all used Bay as the "Bottom Threshhold of art". But then he came and baisicly said "So what? Thats what i do for living, i make money out of it and it makes many people happy" Despite getting awards from some people in an Acadamy it is an own kind of award to get a multi million dollar Budget for a sequel, because so many people like your work that the company thinks it will pay off. An Beeing the best at explosions is very important.
Damn right off the gate you blew my mind with all your knowledge.. either you studied hard the subject matter beforehand, or you're just super cultured on movies and directors lol in any case.. props
Barry Lyndon is the 'classical' movie Kubrick made. It failed massively, but is esthatically pleasing. 'Dr. Strangelove (Or how I stopped worrying and started loving the bomb)' is the full name.
As someone who has a fear of heights I wouldn't exactly call it vertigo it's more an abject illogical Terror that triggers my fight or flight or freeze response and unfortunately for me and my chances for survival the response is freeze.
Little known fact; the moon landing was a staged Hollywood production! -- It was directed by Kubrick, and he was such a perfectionist that he demanded it be filmed on-location...
For me vertigo doesn't manifest with fear, I just get dizzy high up because my brain isn't used to comprehending a distance to the ground of significant heights
Dr. Strangelove aka. How I stopped worrying and learned to love the bomb... Really love the film though apparently it was based on a rather grim book some war vet wrote about his prophecies how the weakened USA will be destroyed by communism.. Kubrick turned it into a comedy of sorts.
Fun lil fact.. When Alfred starts w/ fish puppets, he's using the diving sign for shark :) awesome vid (: (another fun fact) in Psycho, the actress, Janet Lee, A.H. was obsessed with. Aaalso :) J.L. is the mother of, 1 of the greatest queens, Jamie Lee Curtis :D
The geniuses are quite arrogant...they'd totally think of themselves as such,. It's funny how all first 4 directors trash on Bay, and then Bay just comes in and talks about himself.
Just gonna put it out there, very much makes sense for a genius to put it out there that way, geniuses tend to be extremely arrogant and egotistical, tends to happen when you spend your life being right far more often than not.
Fun fact, Michael bay saw this rap battle and joked that he must have been drunk to not remember doing this. Indicating that they portrayed him pretty accurately.

I keep replying to the video in these moments that Hitchcock was limited by the production code at the time.
Yeah, it makes me think of the Comics Code Authority.
The Kubrick movie title you're trying to think of is: "Dr. Strangelove, or how I learned to quit worrying and love the bomb"
Amazing movie and a pretty scary plot for a comedy.
Calling oneself a "genius" is permissible in a rap battle, it's swaggin'.
During Quentin's part, the "bad mf" part was a reference to Pulp Fiction, because Jules (Sam Jacksons character) had a wallet with the "Bad mf" on it.
Which actually belongs to Quentin Tarantino in real life (the wallet)
worked at a grocery store for a while, as a cashier. this guy took his wallet out to pay, and i said, "oh hey, the quentin tarantino wallet", and he told me i was the first person to ever notice
@callmecatalyst that was it, he folded it up and pocketed it and i gave him his change. he was in the cigarette-only register, but i don't remember what he bought.
Sam Jackson also had them carve "BMF" into the bottom of his Mace Windu lightsaber prop.
You can buy a licensed copy of that wallet.
When micheal bay talks about milk money thats a refrence to his first directing job (which was the got milk commericals from the 90s)
I think he also did Meatloaf's "I Would Do Anything for Love" video, iirc.
Specifically the Aaron Burr "Got Milk" commercial (the first in the Got Milk PSA ads).

Those long winded conversations drew me into his movies. The tipping scene from Reservoir Dogs is hilarious and amazing.

Hitchcock directed his actors to have blank expressions because he wanted the audience to project their own feelings on to the character.

Sam Jackson is highly paid because he works so much. He took everything that came his way for a while, I'm not sure if that's still the case.
MrLboyd, here is an interesting piece of info. The words in capitalization within each sentence are the films that both directors, well, directed.

My favorite, no exaggeration, I love cold, fatty, rare steak. For lunch, some of the potatoes. Finished off dinner in two days though, it wasn't a substantial amount of soup.
Would like to think Hitchcock finished off 3 normal sized steaks in one sitting. I envy being that gluttonous
Thanks once again for breaking down these clips. Can you react to Scru Face Jean's remix of Gnat?
I enjoy listening to your reviews as they have a lot of intellectual content.
Fyi tarantino is played by the rapper Wax, so he clearly had an edge regardless.
People can hate on Bay all they wan't, but his movies make money for a reason. Few people are better and the kind of mindless action movies where you get to just turn your brain off and relax, and the man has legit talent when it comes to seamlessly weaving practical and CG elements to get the desired effect for a scene. Corridor Crew broke down some shot compositions from transformers and it's insane.
This dope
I think i am the only one, but i give this to Micheal Bay. I loved this theme of no one could agree to anything in their discussion about art. Everybody called everybody else out on mistakes or things they themselve considered bad art. And they all used Bay as the "Bottom Threshhold of art". But then he came and baisicly said "So what? Thats what i do for living, i make money out of it and it makes many people happy" Despite getting awards from some people in an Acadamy it is an own kind of award to get a multi million dollar Budget for a sequel, because so many people like your work that the company thinks it will pay off. An Beeing the best at explosions is very important.
Damn right off the gate you blew my mind with all your knowledge.. either you studied hard the subject matter beforehand, or you're just super cultured on movies and directors lol in any case.. props
Nice man
The code for making movies at the time might have curbed the amount of blood he could use he was already pushing the envelope with the shower scene.
Jaws pretty much invented the summer blockbuster
here we go!
I also think Quinton took the win but I absolutely thought that Alfred had the best delivery.
For Sam Jackson... these days, kids know him as Fury of Shield, you mention Pulp Fiction and they go what?
Kubrick caused Shelley Duvall to have mental breakdowns on set with how demanding he was
Why does Quentin Tarantino sound like Kermit the Frog
Barry Lyndon is the 'classical' movie Kubrick made. It failed massively, but is esthatically pleasing. 'Dr. Strangelove (Or how I stopped worrying and started loving the bomb)' is the full name.
It think a comment on the original video says "only Michael Bay is able to rhyme the word money with money seven times"
"Sign checks with my nuts." Should replace, "laughing all the way to the bank."
You're right. It's so weird when someone calls themselves a genius. Thank you for pointing that out 👍
As someone who has a fear of heights I wouldn't exactly call it vertigo it's more an abject illogical Terror that triggers my fight or flight or freeze response and unfortunately for me and my chances for survival the response is freeze.
Michael Bay ran away with this. He's the guy everyone was comparing everyone else to, and he's got socks-made-of-silk money.
Little known fact; the moon landing was a staged Hollywood production! -- It was directed by Kubrick, and he was such a perfectionist that he demanded it be filmed on-location...
For me vertigo doesn't manifest with fear, I just get dizzy high up because my brain isn't used to comprehending a distance to the ground of significant heights
I missed it the first time through as well but Duel was also a Steven Spielberg movie
Pretty much everyone I've seen react to this misses it. I caught it first time but Duel was huge for me.
@@platinumspider7859 it was his first movie as well as the first one he mentioned in the battle
@@metalman1019 I know
Tarantino is played by Wax. Excellent musician. Check out Music and Liquor by Wax.
Kubrick actually drove poor Shelly Duvall bonkers
Dr. Strangelove aka. How I stopped worrying and learned to love the bomb... Really love the film though apparently it was based on a rather grim book some war vet wrote about his prophecies how the weakened USA will be destroyed by communism.. Kubrick turned it into a comedy of sorts.
Fun lil fact.. When Alfred starts w/ fish puppets, he's using the diving sign for shark :) awesome vid (: (another fun fact) in Psycho, the actress, Janet Lee, A.H. was obsessed with. Aaalso :) J.L. is the mother of, 1 of the greatest queens, Jamie Lee Curtis :D
The geniuses are quite arrogant...they'd totally think of themselves as such,.
It's funny how all first 4 directors trash on Bay, and then Bay just comes in and talks about himself.
I realized that he hasn't done Billy Mayes vs Ben Franklin yet.
Duel is also a Speilberg movie
Kubrick has the best entrance in ERB history, but QT took the win.
You missed the reference to Spielberg's movie "Always" and Hitchcock's movie "Murder!" in the opening round.
The film pairings that Spielberg brings up are one of his and one of Hitchcock's.
Did bro just read the genius annotations 😭
DUDE!!
i pointed at the screen when you said doctor strangelove :D
Just gonna put it out there, very much makes sense for a genius to put it out there that way, geniuses tend to be extremely arrogant and egotistical, tends to happen when you spend your life being right far more often than not.
Just wanted to mention, I really dig the blue/purple light on the blurry ... records? Ok ok I'll pay attention to the battle now.
