*"Oh, he is John Wicking them!"*
XD Never change, Dasha.
I don't speak Russian but I love when you evaluate Russian in the movies you watch. And I can relate to your feelings, my mother tongue is Spanish and in US movies you can see tons of speaking and writing mistakes 😂😂 Love you girl, great video!
I agree with this entirely, even though I only speak English. She does an excellent job of pointing out the errors American movies often make (Red October was another example) when using Russian (or as you said, Spanish and I imagine others as well) dialogue, spelling, etc. and it really makes no sense given what they spend to make movies like this and how easily it can be checked. My theory is they are just playing the odds of most Americans not knowing the difference, which, while likely true is still not an excuse. Playing to the stupid may make you rich, but it's not a virtue. Great channel.
same for german, always interesting to have a native's point of view!
Same here but for me It's the swedish lines in english movies, usually awful 😂
@@pete3610 Yes, it's disappointing that given the amounts they spend they don't give more importance to this. I agree, they are playing their odds, but they forget that many people outside and inside US are multilingual. One exception I remember is "Frozen", they asked for Dr. Jackson Crawford's help about the runic inscriptions on a book there. My best regards from Chile!
@@cesarvidelacit's because it's not important. It's a movie, you can suspend your disbelief enough to make up for the non perfect dialect
Thank you so much Dasha for reacting The Equalizer starring Denzel Washington. Next time The Equalizer 2
The Equalizer 2 is one of those sequels that improves on its predecessor. His character bypassing available firearms to use improvised weapons in this seemed very forced and gimmicky.
You might like Man on Fire it’s also with Denzel but tissues are a must with that movie
By far my favorite Denzel movie.
Is it true that Denzel & Dakota Fanning are teaming up again for Equalizer 3?
I used to watch the 1980s TV show The Equalizer, which this movie is based on. I never did watch the new Equalizer TV show though. This movie is another great one by Denzel Washington👍
I love that the movie shows Robert going out of his way to help other people in so many different ways: emotional support, inspiration, personal training, cleaning and construction, etc., and I really appreciate how much Fuqua cares about the minor characters like Ralphie and Jenny. The people Robert helps don't feel like props to give him the appearance of altruism; they feel like real people, people you would recognise if you met them on the street.
Well, now I want Dasha to watch "Nobody" (2021) to see a real Russian actor playing a Russian bad guy in an American movie as well as some great action and humor.
not to mention my by far favorite fight scene....
The bs scene imo was the claymore scene.....
Nobody (2021)
Somebody (2024)
Everybody (2027)
@@luxurybuzz3681 That too good!
Another good Denzel Washington movie that is worth watching is The Book Of Eli. I love the scene when Robert and Teddy meet for the first time. Nice reaction as always.
Yep! TBOEli is must-see! Man On Fire and Equalizer and book of Eli are on my personal Mt Rushmore of Denzel movies.
Woord but „the mighty quinn“
Missing? 😂🤣😂🤣👍👍👍
Yes to The Book of Eli. 👍 Denzel is great! Great characters by Gary Oldman and Mila Kunis too!
"He's working for Justice," Dasha. hahaha! that was a good one
Imagine John wick, nobody, taken, peppermint, reacher, rambo and the equalizer had a crossover 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Add the guy from NOBODY
And Brian from Taken.
And Jennifer Garner in Peppermint.
Don't forget REACHER.
As John Wick says.... Yeah
This is the first time I have heard John Wick used as a verb. Loved it!
In the 80's TV series Edward Woodward played Robert McCall and he was a retired British agent
If you have a job and no one else will help... Edward Woodward would😁
I thought he was ex-CIA, hence living in NY.
I used to love the original show ( yes, I'm that old. He used the classifieds and a wired telephone with an answering machine Yes, THAT old.
Edward Woodward had the best guest role in The Lone Gunmen episode.
This movie doesn't get enough attention imo, not with movies like John Wick and the more flashy type ones. Thank you for doing this one, it's one of my favorites.
Speaking of Denzel Washington being older, Dasha should watch "Unstoppable" (2010) based on the real-life CSX 8888 incident in which Denzel plays a veteran railroad engineer being forced into retirement who risks his life to stop a runaway freight train full of toxic chemicals from crashing.
Buck 90 does indeed mean 190 pounds. Well done
I had to see your reaction to this, not just cause it's a great Denzel movie (they all are) but because, obviously, I knew you would catch and evaluate the Russian dialogue.
If you're liking being on the Denzel train, I'd recommend both Remember the Titans and Glory. Denzel won an academy award for Glory for best supporting actor.
Another great movie about Russian gangsters is Eastern Promises (2007) with Viggo Mortensen.
I just wanna hear Dasha speaking full Russian one day, for like a solid 5 minutes; by now I'm so used to how she sounds in English, I'd be mind-blown to hear her just perfectly " serenade" in beautiful Mother Russia toungue!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
"He's John Wickin them" Lmao, Dasha, you have the best quotes
" he works for JUSTICE !!"
Dasha: Regarding your reaction to The Equalizer: Sometimes companies misspell words on purpose so people will know who it is when people see those misspelled words or so they will fit on a sign better. The bad guy didn't "break the glass for unluckiness." He was shooting the mirrors so that Denzel's character, Robert, couldn't see him in the mirrors.
One of my favourite action movies. Love your reactions
FYI, this film was released 1 month before John Wick in late 2014.
Hey Dasha, I wanted to give you some background info on the Equalizer movie. Its based on the 1980s series - The Equalizer. A British actor named Edward Woodward played Robery McCall. He was an Ex-intelligent agent, wears suits & He drives a Now-classic 80's Jaguar. The TV series also had a cool theme song as well. A music channel by the name of Enzomusic - He does very Cool remixes of 80's movies & TV series. The Equalizer, Robocop movie, Airwolf, and The Delta Force are really cool Remixes & some of my favs. 80's sinth and keyboard are some of my All-time favs & I also grew up in the 80;s. Cheers.....
Dasha, it's a very special thing to have you watching and translating some of the Russian that is spoken. Thank you for your insights! They make your reactions even better.
"...and this wraps up my 'who is older and who is younger in which movie' observation."
thank you for putting a smile on my face!!! :)))
0:25 i like the popups
Agreed 😊
When Robert has the guy locked in his car with exhaust fumes coming in, the cars engine is on so he could just put the window down himself.
“He’s John Wicking them.” Lol
David Harbour, the man who plays the dirty cop, also plays Jim Hopper in Stranger Things. I believe he’s very underrated as an actor
He also played Alexei, the Red Guardian, in Black Widow. And Santa Claus in Violent Night.
Yes they should get the Russian spelling right , THANKS for educating us Dasha , i always enjoy tour reactions.
hello young lady dasha, i do enjoy watching your movie reactions. one of your remarks surprised me tonight. during one of the action scenes you said "he's john wicking him". haha i thought that was priceless and cute. i will remember that comment forever :) have a great night dasha.
Turf means grass and the surface layer of earth held together by its roots. It is used as slang to mean territory. Turf war is gangs fighting over territory.
"Turf" is also used for the natural or artificial grass surface of an American football field. I think that's why the word gained its secondary meaning: because much of that sport is about capturing territory from the other team (i.e. "driving the ball down the field").
10:54 he apologized to himself because he promises wife he that he would never go back to that life again
"He's John Wicking them"... I spat my coffee all over the screen :)
I can't believe "John Wick-ing" became a verb. 😆😂
Robert McCall as The Equalizer is one of my three favorite action character, along side with Bryan Mills from Taken and John Wick. Those three together in one movie would be awesome.
Great reaction as usuall Dasha. 👍
"He's John Wicking them" 😂
Great reacted Dasha, as expected, now I just hope you liked the movie enough to react to the sequel in future.
The sequel is almost as good! :)
Discipline when trained properly. He is a very motivational man many speeches on college campus. The misspelling is most likely by design to avoid legal consequence.
Thank you Dasha for the Russian translations it’s actually makes the movie better knowing what they say. Plus it sounds good when you say it haha. 👍👌
Thank you Dasha! I have been waiting for you to react to this movie. Like others who have commented, I love to hear your comments about Russian dialog, but I enjoy the entire reaction. You are a sweetheart!
Great Reaction 🎉
Makes you wonder what the person in your favorite cafe knows ...
lol ... The next time you are shopping in a hardware store ... items may look different.
Again ... Thanks for reacting to this movie 😊
Let's face it, here in America we don't even use English properly. Always love your reactions Dasha.
“He’s John Wicking them!” 😀
I feel similar frustration when they use incorrect spelling or grammar in movies when using Spanish, even though there are more Spanish Speaking people in the US than Russian speaking people, it seems like they don't want to put any effort in finding someone who makes a correct check.
Thanks for your review, for providing more feedback on what they say in Russian and as always, for a wonderful reaction.
31:53 that wasn’t a harpoon, that was a pruning saw on a pole for pruning high branches
I like watching you watch a movie with Russian. Your critiques are great. If you liked this and John Wick, I recommend the movie “The Accountant”.
One of those “Russian Pimps” played Johnny Crowder in Justified.
10:25 "He's John wicking them"😂👍
30:41 The music playing is a song from Gladys Knight and the Pips. It’s called “Midnight Train to Georgia” . McCall is playing it to let his coworkers know he is arriving and to make the bad guys a little distracted.
@Dasha, if you like that music check out 'Standing in the Shadow of Motown', documentary about that era of music.
I finally learn what "Dedushka" means lol Equalizer 2 is very good as well. Can't wait for Equalizer 3 this year!
My Favourite Scene will always be that Final Speech at The Restaurant. ESPECIALLY His Words.
"Your heart is Bleeding fast because you're losing too much Blood. That Girl You beat half to Death? Her life is gonna go on.. yours is goin' to End, right here; on This Funky Floor. Over $9800. You should've taken The Money." 😒
I also love your input on The "Mistakes" that they make.. and sadly, it's kind of a common theme/trope in Hollywood Movies. 😅🤷 I would take to hazard a guess that someone, ALMOST put a Dude in a Track-Suit in The Movie.. before someone stepped in and cut the scene out. 🤦
Which is strange to me.. because if they have The Money to Make such a Big Movie. Why not just hire a Russian to look at some of The Stuff? To see if it's Realistically Passable? Anyways, Great Video Dasha. ☺️
my favourite part is when he equalizes everybody
Equalizer 2 is great as well! #3 is supposed to come out later this year.
I was in a hotel lounge in Montreal like ……20 years ago …….sitting next to a Russian couple and listening to them talk …….thinking ….damn that’s a cool language……I should learn it someday …………of course I did not lol……..and now when I hear Dasha talk it’s like ….DAMN !!! I should not have been lazy lol . Because it really is a beautiful language.
31:29 The bald guy with the bushy beard and mustache seems to play a henchman in a lot of movies. His character is usually dispatched by the hero of the flick.
He played a goon in The Accountant, John Wick and this film.
@@bigdream_dreambig Yes thanks. I will edit it
Marton Csokas = The Lord of the rings elf king Celeborn + many more caracters.
This is a great movie. Great reaction as always.
As others have said please watch Man on Fire. I'd recommend having tissues ready for every movie you watch. You never know when you're going to need them.
What a good movie. Denzel is great. I like your lashes Dasha.
Helllouu Dasha🖖😎
Hey that was funny or not?? I can’t wait to see part2 👍😂✌️
Greets and cheers 🇭🇷
MIK
PS.:Spasibo za tvoy vremya …right?😉
Very nice reaction. I think You should watch another Denzel movie - Deja vu. There is typical Denzel, very good acting, sci-fi elements and an interesting story.
Turf is piece of land, so when they have a turf war it’s rivals fighting over a certain location kinda
He "John Wick'd" him!!! 🤣
It's really cool getting your Russian background to help with the movie. I loved it.
I love this movie; thank you for another delightful reaction. And the russian language insights.
For an english language insight, "turf" battles refers to "territory", a common concern for gangs.
A shame they couldn't get the spelling right.
Have a great day, Dasha.
‘He’s John Wicking them!’
One of my favorite movies... reviewed by my favorite online reviewer/reaction person. Dasha, don't ever change. You're like sunshine. Such a lovely personality and doesn't hurt to be so easy on the eyes too :)
Can I recommend a movie I think you would really like? Apocalypto -directed by Mel Gibson.
Life is about making right and wrong choices. Make the wrong choice, it might cost you your life. Pretty simple concept. Great reaction Dasha.
I love how you set the record straight with the Russian, It becomes a learning experience : ).
Thanks for your reaction, great as always. Keep up the great work, you’re the best. I know American movies don’t always paint Russian gangs and characters in the brightest light. But I always appreciate and enjoy your insight on these characters. Thank you.
Chloe Moretz plays a vampire in Let Me In. A great movie.
Hey I wanted to recommend that movie too. It's one of my favourite vampire movies.
“Man on Fire” - Denzel’s best work! Please add it to your list.
More strategic than John Wick.
I ❤ it that you are letting us know what they are saying and what they got wrong or what they are trying to say 👏👏👏👏👏😁😁😁
Thanks for posting Ryan. Me too. 👍 I am learning Russian. Спасибо. Я учу русский язык.
I don’t speak Russian but hearing you speak it makes me want to it seems like a good language to learn and it sounds beautiful to my ears my mother tongue is English and I’m American and from watching your videos Russia looks like it has very beautiful women your reactions are very entertaining ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The small hammer that resembles the much larger, sledge hammer, is called a "maul".
He's John Wicking them ... 😂 Nice
I love your reaction to this film.
14:46 comment, the protector helps maintain a balance when people exert power to make things unequal,, A protector is an equalizer.-Ernie Moore Jr.
Denzel has made many good movies but I believe his best is MAN ON FIRE.
“He’s about to paint his masterpiece.”
Just for interest .. I think it was Jason Bourne (Bourne Identity) that was the forerunner to these movies. He certainly was the first one to use a 'pen' so creatively.
Glad you finally saw this movie. Its a great movie plus I like seeing you pick apart the inaccuracies of Russian. Robert is very OCD as you saw the details in the movie. The movie is based on a television show from the 80s, The Equalizer. You should watch the second one also. Since you have seen this and the John Wick movies, you should watch Collateral, it stars Tom Cruise and he's in a different type of role from what he usually plays. Love that movie
The Equalizer movies are based off of a US TV series from the 1980s where a former / retired British SAS operative living in the US helps people who have nowhere else to turn.
Thank you for another cool rection video 😎. On the topic of languages - your American English is so ggod, I think you could teach grammar to American students!🤩
Can you consider some classic British films that cover war and historical events???
Scott of the Antartic.
The Dam Busters
Lawrence of Arabia
The Battle of Britain.
633 squadron ( fiction)
Genevieve ( comedy)
The Italian Job ( 1968)
Educating Rita
Trainspotting
A Hard Days Night ( 1964)
Also epics like,
Dr Zhivago.
Gone with the wind
El Cid
Appreciate the translations👌
11:35 comment guess, you are right..turf is ground with grass. Gangs are possessive of the land they claim as theirs. Violate their area of land or try to take it is a war over land--a turf war.-Ernie Moore Jr.
I didn't remember that Bill Pullman was in this. He's been in a lot, including Independence Day as the U.S. President.
Great Reaction, always love your take on movies especially when there is Russian speaking or writing so I know what is normally left unsaid & can see where they got it wrong. As commented "The Book of Eli" is a must see Denzel movie as it portrays the saying "Never judge a book by it's cover" so well.
as always thanks for the reaction Dasha, from Colorado
I especially like watching your reaction to movies that have to do with russia good or bad. I like how you explain to us that something is correct and that you translate what is being said in russian. I also like how you become frustrated when they dont spell russian correctly and I dont blame you I would be the same. Keep doing what you are doing and we love you. Steve
The second Equalizer is just as good.
John Wick was know for using a pencil. Robert Mccall used everything in the room as a weapon and wiped out a group in 30 seconds.
Great review Dasha.
As we say here in Texas; Y'all be safe.
I always love getting your insight on how Russians are portrayed in movie
Yes, "a buck ninety" means 190 pounds, which is 86 kilograms.
