- Once gunsmith Ian Lamont (Jack Black) finishes his custom mount design for the Jackal (Bruce Willis), it's time to test it out. After determining everything works properly, the Jackal brings out the Gatling gun, forcing Lamont to run for his life. Check out this high-action scene from this classic thriller!
Bruce Willis, Richard Gere and Sidney Poitier star in this international suspense thriller directed by Michael Caton-Jones. A ruthless assassin (Willis) has been hired to eliminate someone at the very top of the U.S. government. Constantly changing his identity and location, he is known only as the Jackal. Everything about this hit man, including his sinister timetable, is a secret. Aware of the Jackal's presence but uncertain of his purpose, the FBI's Deputy Director (Poitier) faces the biggest challenge of his career. In order to track down this coldblooded killer, he and a by-the-book Russian intelligence officer (Diane Venora) enlist the aid of an imprisoned Irish terrorist (Gere). These unlikely allies enter a global race against the clock to stop the mysterious mercenary before he can complete his deadly assignment.

I love the fact that despite the myriad of disguises that ‘The Jackal’ utilises he still always looks like Bruce Willis. It’s almost as hilarious as Richard Gere’s Irish accent.
Even more hilarious was the FBI HRT letting an escaped terrorist handle their gear. They let Gere's character tote off a multi-thousand dollar sniper rifle, with the President's wife down range.
Only Hollywood.
Nice HK sniper rifle, by the way.
I am surprised bruce was not in this movie to stop Bruce. I am pro-vajazzle as many people know. I don't know if Bruce knows that.
The point isn't to stop looking like yourself, that's impractical. The point is to change how you may be described by others.
Just to play devils advocate. Tis a silly movie.
@@eonsislept207 - He would be described by others as “he looks a lot like Bruce Willis”, but I do take your point.😸
Hmmm...did you expect that the disguises were going to somehow have a plastic surgery effect where it was going to re-arrange the contours of his face and body? or, did you expect that he had light bending technology to where it was going to hide him like "The Predator" and make him blend into his surroundings like camoflauge? Your comment is about as hilarious as Bruce Willis's disguises or Richard Gere's Irish accent.
Love when Bruce smiles after Black tries to extort 100k from him. Like he’s thinking; “Now I’m getting this for free.”
i think his smile means amusement:- "greed ain't so bad but you got too greedy mate, and that's about to get ya killed"
He was dead no matter what lol
I am not sure… Dead people leave bodies to be disposed of and relatives asking questions, in other words un needed attention as the Jackal himself mentioned
@@jsdzx yeah, the guy talks to much. He cant be trusted to keep his mouth shut.
@@456882 , even if he was silent that’s a major loose end. From the moment he took the job he was dead. The jackel probably could have hired a better pro but this was the kind of disposable target he needed.
“I should have brought some beer” He just wanted to chill with his new buddy
And steal 100k
After watching him give a speech for Joe Biden, this scene is...satisfying.

Grow up.
@@EmpireofSpeedNY Spall, baby!
I like where Bruce is sitting next to an cannon with no hearing protection and his ears aren't bleeding
he is standing about 9 feet from the barrel.
He did lose hearing in one ear from die hard so he probably said fuck it
Nine feet? He's an arm's length away from the receiver at 4:09. Those look like 20mm vulcan rounds. He'd be deaf forever after that full auto burst. Our nation's fighter jets use these rounds in their gatling guns. The torque and recoil is enough to slow the plane down slightly with nearly 40,000 pounds of thrust from two afterburning jet engines. LOL. He's deaf and concussed at 4 feet without a helmet and ear pro. Hell, if that was a vulcun, the full auto burst of the weapon mounted loosely on the ground probably has enough recoil and energy to knock him off his chair and rattle the ground enough to shatter the windows of the van behind them.
Man, is a 90's action movie. Easy.
@@canebrakeruffian1122 Sir, this is a Taco Bell.
When Ian (played by Jack Black) suspected that the Jackal (played by Bruce Willis) wanted the heavy gun mount for criminal activity like shooting into an armored car or a bank vault, then he should've realized that the guy could be violent and dangerous. A bad idea to blackmail him for more money. Also a bad idea not to start carrying a gun.
Lamont was a Canadian. Ain't a lot of Canadians who tote firearms.
I think he was already doomed by that point. Jackal was gonna whack him off irregardless
@@jamallabarge2665 given his business...i would say he would be the exception lol
Yeah, very stupid to try to extort a guy who robs armored cars, and on top of that not even make the tool correctly.
also a bad idea to run into the target area. Could have run behind Jackals own car - he never would have shot it.
i read somewhere jack didnt actually have any set lines during the test firing scenes. he was given a broad outline told to just improvise and annoy bruce
In this case, I am surprised Bruce didn't shoot him for real. I would have😅
I bet they didn't even give him an outline.
Direction for scene: Annoy Mr. Willis........
Uhhhh guys this can't be right. Right? RIGHT?
well, mission accomplished!
It was this movie and ENEMY OF THE STATE. After that he got into comedy and blew up!
Arm gets blown off... "now stand over by the car!" ... 🤣
And he goes ahead and does it.
@@iCANT_BELIEVE_YOU_SAID_THATlol yeah
😂
Bro didn't wana die a bad sport
...and don't be afraid!
Boy, Did this age like fine wine.😆
The minute the Jackal got that look on his face about the extra money requested by Jack Black’s character, you knew he decided to not let him live.
exactly , at 1.20
He was gonna take him out anyways. He asked him for the blueprints and mold to seal off the loose end. The guy who made it doesn’t know what he looks like so he didn’t matter. If anything he made it easier! 😂
I mean, he gave him the extra money. He just paid Jack Black’s character in bullets, delivered at high velocity
aaaaaaand that's how u write a bad guy.
Not the way Disney made the empire in their version of star wars. "Oh let's wait for the rebels to delete some of our men first and than we can attack cause we're eeeeeevil."
The moment I saw that look on Bruce Willis's face, I said "Dude. You're dead and you don't even know it."
For some reason I'm enjoying this scene a lot more these days...
Of course you are. Because you absolutely love whatever excuse to wish death on other Americans. But yeah, how about that cancel culture, huh?
Same never liked Jack Black
@@francoisregis2155always thought he was an annoying little shit
🎯
Rule no. 1: Never obey the man who just shot your arm off.
Rule no 0: Always do your job PRESICELY
the guy was doomed anyway.)
Words to live by
It’s only a flesh wound.
Glad this guy didn’t miss.
Me too (in the movie of course)
TDS is a helluva diagnosis
Lmfao I see what you did there
Hahahaha! Got em!
This unlocked a vague memory from my childhood.
I get that too.
Same.
the part where he goes to the gay bar?
your dads calibrated their cutting edge motorized turret mounted high caliber long-range digitaly sighted remote controlled military grade weaponry on you too aye? tell me about it join the club
me too
His DIY remote-operated auto cannon is arguably quite sophisticated by today’s standards.
calibration for long shot need lots of input probably.
Not really, but not bad for "home made" back in 1997, look up C.R.O.W.S or ruclips.net/video/r5d7-SdpaB8/видео.html
The weapon and frame yes, but the electronics are quite feasible if you know where to look.
So this is old tech because nowdays you just need an Arduino microcontroller with wifi capability to control the servos and trigger of the weapon. On the Play Store there are some apps to create a user interface and connect to the Arduino. Then control the weapon system from your smartphone lol
I think you mean crude. 😂
But the sighting is off by at least 3 milimeters.
Move over to the car before you pass out. Coldest line ever.
In your world maybe. Not even close.
Jack Black- Aarghhh, aaarghhh!.. (moaning in pain physically and mentally) aarrrggghh!
Saw this movie when I was a kid and this scene stuck with me, it was the only thing I remember haha. Brutal AF.
Same
Yeah because it's fucked up and traumatic. very entertaining though
Yea that's why I'm here
"I thought I killed him for raising the price, but then I realized I can't stand chatterboxes."
As a kid this was the first movie I wanted the bad guy to win. The Soundtrack was great.
That was the same tension brought out in the classic book: we all know Charles De Gaulle lived on, but the meticulous preparations and journey of the mysterious assassin makes you root for him! Even when the great French detective found out he was coming, it was still so nail-biting how close he came!
Yes. If you ever get to read the book or see the original film. Please do. They are both excellent. Like you say, it's an odd book because the Jackel is just so cool and clever you almost want him to win. 😆
What the original novel got me thinking about was the withdrawal of France from Algeria.
The use of torture by both sides.... was bad.
@@jamallabarge2665 Yes that’s a great point. Something that is not used in the remake. The original book and film used the real political problems at the time for the back story. Terrorism was rife as well (car bombs, political unrest, etc) which made the French president a very valid target at the time the book was written. I’m not sure how much is featured in the original film (been a while since I’ve seen it) but certainly in the book there is quite a lot of build up as to why they wanted to assassinate him. The other thing mentioned in the book is the Jackal’s fee, as it’s huge amount they have to rob banks to pay him. 😂
@@andrewharper4296 "The original book and film used the real political problems at the time for the back story. Terrorism was rife as well (car bombs, political unrest, etc) which made the French president a very valid target at the time the book was written. "
A good movie that gives a background for the original Jackal is the "Battle of Algiers". It can be seen for free here on RUclips. French with English subtitles.
Filmed in Algeria by an Italian director with Italians and Algerians. Banned in France for a time.
The French military "lost" to the Germans in the 1940s. French military were taken to Germany to labor. French civilians were harassed by the Gestapo. The military felt that they had let the nation down.
The French military "lost" Vietnam in the 1940s to 1950s. Some French soldiers who returned home to France were considered "losers" and "failures".
The French Army were not going to lose a third time to Algerian revolutionaries. The French Foreign Legion was created to fight in Algeria in the 1800s. Algeria was their home. Without a home, what is your life?
When DeGaulle started to negotiate the end of French colonization, the OAS emerged. Part deserters, part rebel Army members, part European colonists of Algeria.
The OAS never hired any killers. They did the "work" on their own. In one famous attempt a rifle bullet missed DeGaulle's head by a few inches. The leader of the strike was executed.
The OAS spoiled any hope of Europeans to remain in Algeria to work alongside of the Arabs. The Algerian state wanted most Europeans gone.
The Harkis, or Algerian Arabs loyal to France, were massacred.
DeGaulle wanted to end the whole miserable enterprise. He understood that nobody wanted colonies in Africa.
After the Evian Conference, which negotiated the end to French domination of Algeria, he said, "France now lives without drama".
Well, no, not quite. France had problems with the Army into the 1960s. There was an amnesty for OAS in 1968.
The original "Jackal" had a lot of history in it, and was a fun read.
The one with Bruce Willis was both cool and silly.
The most entertaining Jack Black movie ever. If only all of Jack Black's roles were like this where he is ruthlessly killed...
Hey Jack, he didn’t miss. You got your wish!
KG said that kid.
Never blackmail an assassin!!
Never jack blackmail*
He would have killed him anyway.. 💀
@@christopherfritz3840 black’s character may have a been a tech whiz, but he got greedy and stupidly tried to blackmail The Jackal and that’s what got him killed
@@tesflex never assassin an Blackmill never*
I just would have asked for an extra 10k to cover my costs and happily gave him back his stuff regardless
The thing that bugs me about this scene is that Jack Black's character built the mount only. He didn't know what sort or gun was going to be attached. The camera is attached directly to the gun which he didn't know about either as he was impressed by the big zoom lens. Yet, it's his fault the sight is out by 3mm????
He didn't kill him for that, it was because he tried to blackmail and could be a liability for Willis
Yeah it was because he was talking too much and the fact he tried to get an extra 100k out of him
Extortion. I would've killed him too. That and the fact he wouldn't shut up, besides who knows who else he might have told.
@@TBStudios91 then why did he argue with the jackal about it not being off? it's just bad writing.
He killed him for other reasons bro. He literally took him out there to kill him lol. He got more money out of him. Once he started that crap about more money for the plans. And started bringing up shooting something big, attention etc, that was the end of him. He was cleary a loud mouth
This scene is more enjoyable now that i know jack Blacks character
He definitely didn't miss this time
1:14 The exact moment where he decides he's not just going to kill him, but make him suffer first.
Someone giving you that should be interpreted as "uh oh" better drop the price lol
My favorite Jack Black scene...
My favorite parts are
"Lamont! Close your mouth."
"Told you it was off."
Jack Black has been in so many movies including comedies and serious dramas yet he always plays the same exact character. Basically you feel like he’s playing himself and his real personality.
A lot of actors, especially comedic ones, do that, e.g. Owen Wilson.
Jack Black is a devil worshipping creeper - funny one though
I mean, he kind of was, until Bruce Willis pointed a gun at him.
@@kommisar. wow
@@alejandrofigueroa7262 What's there to "wow" about?
This is one of those scenes you see as a kid and years later vaguely remember but can't remember it fully, then one day scrolling through RUclips you stumble upon it and go " holy shit this is the scene I remember, I didn't know it was jack black getting his arm blown off"
Seriously couldn’t have said it better myself. Holy shit.
Exactly. For me, it is the basketball scene in the Cable Guy, when rewatching the movie.
Years ago I was like, "It is Jack Black that Jim Carrey uses as a stepping stone?!?!"
bruh are you me?
i remember watching this specific scene in my grandfather's hospital room when i was 8 and it terrified me to the point that i never forgot about it
no idea what movie it was until today. i actually can't believe it
Exactly
I remember “The Soldier” when the cop gets his guts blown out. You can’t find a non-edited version of that anywhere.
5:26 that change of expression is gold, good acting
it was weak for an actor.
@@zepter00are you an actor?
@@ranvabclc nah... but i slept with dozens of hot Polish chicks and that requires a lot of acting and cheating
@@ranvabclc, what difference would it make if he was? You think acting can only be critiqued by actors, idiot?
I like the detail of Jack Black's bottom lip quivering slightly with fear. Nice attention to detail.
There was literally an impossibly thick forest no more than 10 ft. behind Bruce that Jack could have ran into. But nope, just gonna aimlessly jaunt out into the most wide open space imaginable.
He still would've caught him and killed him eventually lol.
"So the movie can happen" -Ryan George
Well he was testing the automatic tracking of a running target, I doubt the dealer thought he was in any real danger until his arm was blown off.
@@breadtoasted2269 Jack was running away in complete fear and panic long before he reached the car. Not sure what clip you were watching if you didn’t notice that.
@Bread Toasted: When Bruce tests his first shot, he misses "by 3 mm". Under the same conditions, the error is increased/decreased the farther/closer the next target is. Uncompensated error can cause a complete miss of Jack, or hit him. Not good. The system wasn't automatically tracking the target. Bruce used a laptop to do remote control of the gun. The scope view is displayed on screen, and he follows his target by using the joystick. The knob on top is used to adjust the focus.
Best thing about this scene is that Jack Black actually obeys every command given by Bruce Willis. I mean, he could have escaped but he preferred to be a nice guy helping the assasin to calibrate his weapon with his own arm. Talk about giving the best service to your customer.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking the same thing. Jack Black ran for his f'ing life, soaking wet and covered in mud that is great customer service right there. Probably isn't worth having an inquisitive loudmouth as your supplier though, hence how it ends lol
Yeah I mean if he was gonna die anyway he could have tried to just try and jump the Jackal from behind .
He thought he has a chance if he will be a good boy. If he runs the opposite direction from the beginning or does something wrong he could get shot instantly by pistol or the machinegun.
I would have slit his troath if I stood behind the jackall.
Even if he had hit only the cigarette pack Jack still would have lost a couple of fingers if he where lucky.
This is about to get a shitload more views. T24
apparently he just hit Jack's right ear
This is what Jack Black did to Kyle Gass’s career.
Kyle Gass did it to himself.
Seeing Jack Black get done in like this makes my heart warm.
I suspect the likes on this will increase dramatically…
I wouldn't say that. It's no different than what Tenacious D insinuated about the recent attempt on Donald Trump's life.
That’s pretty evil. Why are you like this?
@@coltdawg7299why not?

I just love that far away shot from above !
How many fast forwarded to the end just to see Jack Black get smoked?

His best movie.
I usually fast forward to "Run."
I did and I immediately contributed to the Biden campaign right afterwards!
"Told you it was off." "Move over by the car." For some reason this scene is a lot funnier now.
Hey Jack Black… “RUN, NOW”.
Best Jack Black scene ever
RROOOCCCCKKKKK!!!!!!!
I laughed when his arm got shot off 🤣
yeah the dudes anoying and gay af it was satisfying to watch him die
When one finds Jack Black annoying as hell in his films, review this.
Death scene in Mars Attacks is better and funnier, so no.
I like how he managed to scream "ROCK!" a couple of times. Fitting.
"Do you know what I m saying? Rooooooooooaaaack!" Always cracked me up with that🤣🤣🤣
That comment rocks, gray. And you rock. Rooooooooooaack!!!!
That was an expensive test. Those bullets are crazy expensive.
The car isn't free either. But he's paid a lot for the hit, so bears all costs.
He just got 35mil from the mobster
Not more than 100k probably
The gun cost $200,000. which he paid for with the money that he received upfront from the guy that hired him

Hands down Jack Black's best role. It's so satisfying watching him get cut in half. Also the funniest thing he's ever done.
@rick deckard I have issues with Jack Black being unfunny.
Let's be honest. We have all fantasized about shooting up Jack Black
Found the eugenecists lol
I used to have this soundtrack by Carter Burwell. He is a fantastic musician. The movie is great too, but this scene was always one of the most memorable.
I like the drum&bass song by goldie e ltj bukem on this movie
This is literally the only part of this movie I've ever seen. I saw it on TV as a kid and it always stuck with me. I never saw Bruce Willis as the bad guy or Jack Black dying.
……it’s actually the alternate ending to School of Rock

He didn't say the joke, it was the other guy.
And that my friends is why you should never attempt to extort money from a bad guy like Jackal you set yourself up as a loose end to be dealt with.
The Jackal with Edward Fox has a gun buying scene.....that gunsmith survived because he kept it professional and stuck to the agreed upon price
When Bruce Willis realized that Jack Black was the star of Neverending Story III -- he knew he couldn't allow him to live.

Great and highly underrated movie of its time! My dad had this on dvd years ago and I’d watch it for shits and giggles but it’s a classic! Not to mention some great lines! “What do you mean?” “I mean RUN… Now.” 😁
This is the best part Jack Black ever did and possibly my most favorite scene he has ever been in.

I felt like clapping when he finally got iced.
Bruce Willis and Jack Black should make another duo movie out of this gattling gun 😂
Not a gattling gun. Just a modernish machine gun made to look like a long range precision weapon. Gattling guns are those old multi-barrel guns you see in movies, where the guy has to crank a handle to fire it
Too bad Bruce is retired
@@jdorffer He needs it though. HIs brain is slipping away on him sadly Sucks
@@jdorffer He sold the rights to his image to a deepfake movie producing company. We'll be seeing Bruce Willis movies long after he's dead. Likely not very good ones though.
@@jdorffer He was pumping out a lot of crap just for an easy paycheck towards the end of his career. I don't think the dude made a good movie in the last 10 years before he retired.
Great scene! The fact that he listened to him after his arm blew off just seals it. If it were real step forward about 2 feet out of gun range. Than kick sand in his eyes or whatever you have to do to distract & try to escape. If someone had a Canon pointed at me, I wouldn't be running in a straight line & would keep going instead of stopping & holding a pack of cigarettes.
Dude, Bruce is a world class assassin. He would have shot Jack Black in a leg and dragged him out for some testing. The clown was dead as soon as he asked for 100k
I wonder how long it took before Jack realized: “Oh no, that stupid Jackal clip” 😭 😭 😭
If I was Black Jack, I would’ve just stayed quite. If you know someone is planning to commit a serious crime, you never tell that person that you know it. 😂
IF you are smart enough
He already made significantly more profit by using carbon fiber on the base instead of titanium.
You would've stayed quite what?
He probably shouldn't have tried to blackmail him in the first place...he was a dead man the second he did that.
@@MyThoughtzAndOpinionzIt's Jack Black, not Black Jack.
Apparently Jack learned nothing from this.
Cue the ACDC spinning around cover haha
the match cut from Jack Blacks stupid smirk to the pumpkin target with the face is hilarious foreshadowing
I watched this movie with my dad when I was 15 years old. At first, I thought Bruce Willis was a good guy. Then, this scene confused the heck out of me lol
Mindfuck
One of the best parts of the movie to end an annoyance.
Jack Schitt at his finest 🤣
The optics is directly on the gun, not the jig Lamont created, so blaming Lamont for lack of precision seems like bullshit, and even if it were to trick Lamont into becoming the target then he'd clearly understand that his jig does not have anything to do with the sight being off.
Anytime I see this movie mentioned I always think of that song Red Tape. Banger.
If only every movie with Jack Black were like this...
"Oh man, the scene in _School of Rock_ where the kids blasted Jack's arm off with musical instruments was creative and top notch." - Some RUclips comment in a different timeline.

Best scene Jack Black has ever played in. Absolutely lovely.
Except for _School of Rock_ I never liked anything Jack Black did, until watching him in the Jackal. It took me a bit to realize Jack Black playing the part.
Could have been better. Could have shown his head blowing off.
So what did you watch before this Mars Attacks? Lol
@@danielrierson6683 I love Mars Attacks

He tried to blackmail the wrong guy. I'd bet the Jackal was going to kill him anyway to cover his tracks but was probably planning to make it quick with two shots to the back of the head. Once Lamont started asking for more money, Jackal was thinking, "Oh, so that's how it's gonna be? I'm gonna enjoy this."
In the book and the movies, the Jackal had a sense of honor, in that he always honored a deal, unless the other person failed to live up to their end or tried to pull something. In this case, Lamont would have been okay until he tried to blackmail the Jackal.
He looks like my Uncle, if my Uncle looked like Bruce Willis. 10/10, perfect disguise.
I saw Jack Black in Atlanta’s Piedmont Park yesterday and brought up his role in this movie. He seemed surprised that I knew about it haha
One of my favorites movies jack black, Willis make this great
Best Jack Black movie ever.
You can't say Jack Black never lent Bruce Willis a hand.
Buh dum tis
Well, he was an arms dealer.
One of my favorites movies/scenes growing up.
My favorite Jack Black movie scene, EVER!
He’s Dies Very Beautifully
I like the way Jack Black puts his arm up to shield his head thinking it would stop a 30mm round.
people do that even when a bomb is about to hit.
It’s pure instinct.
You'd think the Jackal would know that you'd need to sight something like that in. Of course it's going to be off for the first shot.
I think he knew that, and it really didn't matter that much to him. If Jack Black's character just gave him everything as agreed, Willis' would have just taken everything and left. Throughout the movie, it seemed like he had established resources for doing business, paid as agreed, and probably would have made Black's character one of them. This was just all payback for trying to blackmail him and he wanted to make it painful in every way.
Everyone knows that you need to Zero the scope if you mount it on a gun (The Jackal knows this and he got a live target to try it). Look at how off the centering of the sight
@@adamrobinette6832 not really. The Jackal did criminal business with people who weren't about to blab about their own offences (e.g. the passport forger). Lamont was clearly a loose cannon and therefore a liability. If he'd kept it professional the Jackal would have simply moved on. As it is, the dead body alerted local police and they notified the FBI immediately. If anything the Jackal should have just killed Lamont with a silenced handgun and then hidden the body in the forest to avoid detection.
You'd think the commenter would catch the implication that Black's character was somehow responsible for that.
I'm not saying it made sense, just that it was accounted for in the clip.
