I love how over the course of the three seasons the mutual respect between Al and Wu slowly grew into mutual affection. It was so cute in the movie when Wu realized that Al was becoming sick with age and gave him the special tea to try to make him feel better.
Agreed, although I would extend that. What made the show great was how all the characters' relationship matured over the show's run. Look at Swearengen and Bullock. "What's your posture, Bullock?" "As you see."
@@jonathanturbide2232 lol I can imagine Al and Wu starring in their own buddy cop movie with them trying to solve crimes by miming and drawing pictures.
This is one of the best dramatic dialogues ever. Two actors, playing two characters who do not know each other's language. A master demonstration of acting.
It only now occurred to me that one of the things that must impress Al about Wu is that Wu is clearly not afraid of Al, which would put him in rare company and shows Al that Wu has internal resources and is not to be underestimated. Goddamn, what a good show.
Al helped Wu whenever the Tong showed up via Hearst. Al and Wu understood that they're both businessmen with mutual interests and that whatever hurts one hurts the other and vice versa.
"You take them two dope fiends over to the bath while I converse with Tolliver over which one gets murdered, huh?" the casual tone with which McShane delivers that line is so good

I'm trying to understand the last line Al says inside the icehouse to Dan-something like 'Even money this'll end up a bloodbath.' What does he mean or am I hearing him wrong?
@@tomservo5347 If that was his line I believe it basically means "It's as likely as not this will end up in a bloodbath", as in there's still no guarantee there still won't be a race riot/gang war (between Wu and Tolliver) despite not handing both of the dope fiends to Wu.
I miss Deadwood, the way they walked, the way they talked, the way they rocked, the whole thing was as brilliant as the start of the spegetti western craze.
It’s why Al was so pissed at Jimmy. He fucked with his business partner and in turn, fucked with Al. Al knew that there is no room for prejudice if you want real commerce. It’s all about money and trust.
The way Wu says "Swegen" full of admiration gets me every time. Al actually bows to Wu in respect because Wu gets exactly what Al was saying about killing only 1 of the "cocksuckas!".
I REALLY wanted to see how the relationship between Swearengen and Wu was going to develop. Wu was JUST becoming a big man. I wanted to see him walk through the fuckin front door again and not one person say a thing.
Keone Young (Wu) was the poker playing Chinese Elvis in "Honeymoon in Vegas." James Hong, Clyde Kusatsu & Keone are long overdue for stars on The Hollywood Walk of Fame. All have been actors for decades in stage, TV & film.
I would have really liked to have seen Wu call in some serious muscle from San Francisco in dealing with the Pinkerton's. Al realized Wu had lots of weight behind him and working with him was clever. Who's going to tell when no one understands?
Wu doesn't have "serious" weight... as demonstrated when Hearst brings in the actual heavy hitters from San Francisco with the Tongs. Hearst ends up letting the Chinese "problem" solve itself & by extension Hearst is the one whose presence/acceptance is what holds the Tong retribution at bay.
Didn't Al send 'help' over to Wu in dealing with the Tongs? That night Wu ends up underneath Al's balcony where he cuts his traditional Chinese long hair and tells Al "Wu, American" to which Al says "and she will hold you to her bosom", Al's way of accepting Wu into the fold. They were unstoppable when they could understand each other. @@nationalsocialism3504
@@torchaf You see Dan take a liking to anyone who shows loyalty to Al. When Adams and Dan were feuding and Adams came to warn about Jarry and made it clear that he had Al above on his mind, Dan set the feud aside. At that point he knew Adams was in Al's corner and was taking risk himself in so doing.
They have different approaches to dealing with business trouble but one thing they agree on is the definition of the characters who cause business trouble. :-)
The show was phenomenal, but man it would have been even better with more Wu, the exchanges were always funny, and also showed how wily Al was. That and al talking to the head in a box.
One thing I was always curious about.... How does this Wu have it so cold in there in his meat locker? Obviously I don't think that refrigeration existed back then. Does he have ice shipped in every day, or week?
Ten of Spades That's cool... It just grabbed my attention because I've always liked the cold, especially small cold areas. Like walk in freezers, for some weird reason.. When I was a kid we had a window air conditioner, and I would crank that thing up to max and cuddle up in the loveseat that was right underneath it and hide in a blanket.. I don't know. I'm freaking weird, lol.
It took a lot of work, but people could cool buildings thousands of years ago. In Persia or somewhere, they had cone shaped clay huts with a spiral ramp running all down the sides. You pay workers to carry water to the top and pour it on the clay, where it trickles down and evaporates, removing heat from the walls.
Milch and the writers actually did extensive research on the speech of the time when writing the script. They found that rather than cursing, people back then would "blaspheme" as a form of profanity but it sounded too silly in the dialog so they just replaced it with modem cursing.
As much as I loved this show, I've often wondered that they didn't write 30 minute episodes, then inserted an f-bomb every other word to stretch it to an hour....
this is so two crime boss negotiating a peace. Al is the only one who seems to realize that Wu is a boss Al shows him respect and makes sure Wu's people see him giving respect. Wu is Al's connection to the Chinese in the camp and Al is Wu's connection to the whites in the camp. that's their alliance two leaders who need the other to have access to the other part of camp.
Can you imagine every time that Asian guy goes out for dinner, inevitably somebody yells, “Cocksucker!” At first he and his wife would smile, appreciating the humor and recognition, but after a while, maybe when he’s out with his parents and family - not too sure his wife would consider it an endearment. But it would be kinda funny. Have to admit, if I ever met him on the golf course, I’d have to say it…
There's a difference in being homophobic in its language and homophobic in its intent. I don't think we should whitewash homophobic language from historical dramas to appeal to modern sensibilities. And there are at least three gay characters, Jane, Jodie, and Bellegard -- and it is strongly implied Eddie is interested in young men.
Yeah, I'm sure many degenerates would like to see explicit man on man action in every show they watch. Maybe the thought of other people seeing it even turns them on too.

Al should have drank it ! It was an old Chinese Liver Cure ! Although by then a Blacksmith probably could have pounded horseshoes on that liver !

The scenes between Swearengen and Wu are some of the best👌
Wu is my favorite character
Al and Wu should have been given their own sitcom.

Deadwood is one of those series that you can pull out every 5 years or so and then watch it all over again.
I watch all 3 seasons once a year or so.

Literally the best part of every episode and the movie.
Dan trying to help with Al building up Wu’s reputation by saying “Nice meat!”
And WU looking at him like "WTF, Al does it better than you"
I’m honestly amazed at how well they understand each other despite the language barrier.

As Wu's actor told me, "Oh, he understands English well enough, he'll just never fully speak it!"
@@JnEricsonxI always guessed Wu at least understood more than he let on 🙊 sometimes being underestimated is valuable.
I still stand by previous comments, that this was the most innovative, well written and compulsive TV ever. I challenge anybody to prove otherwise.
The hand gestures from Swearengen are phenomenal.
The gravelly nature of Al’s voice is……intoxicating and mesmerizes me each time I hear it.💕
I haven't seen enough of this show but goddamn these chats between Wu and Swearengen are beyond hilarious. This show is brilliant.
Wu's actor happily signed for me yesterday on a photo a uncensored "San Franscisco cocksucker!"
You must have seen the "Cocksucker Episode" !
I miss Deadwood, the way they walked, the way they talked, the way they rocked, the whole thing was as brilliant as the start of the spegetti western craze.
Swearengen and Wu have a profitable relationship, take care of each other, and make for some of the best scenes in the entire series. Great stuff
It’s why Al was so pissed at Jimmy. He fucked with his business partner and in turn, fucked with Al.
Al knew that there is no room for prejudice if you want real commerce. It’s all about money and trust.
Dan and Woo got along nicely at the end!
mister brown got on famously with Wu
It was such a good series.
Wu was perhaps the most loyal of Al's allies.
Nobody was more loyal to all than Dan
The way Wu says "Swegen" full of admiration gets me every time. Al actually bows to Wu in respect because Wu gets exactly what Al was saying about killing only 1 of the "cocksuckas!".
Woo is best character in deadwood hands down 😊1:16-1:18 😂😂😂
This had to be some of the best writting I seen on TV. The best. Thanks

If the show were an alternate universe, I hope Deadwood became as big as St Louis. And the Wu's family were prominent business people

Pretty much. Ice deliveries to the doorstep were quite common back then.
They probably insulate it with hides and wood or something.

We were six feet under and Sopranos people if I remember correctly. i didn't discover Deadwood till about 2010
We were a Deadwood and Sopranos group of friends. Was a lot of swearing after the shows.
Another outstanding series from HBO back then was "Rome" !
How did they keep that room cold back in those days?
Cut blocks of ice from frozen lakes and store the blocks under the ground. Ice makers were around as early as 1854 too
My Grandmother and My Dad at times still referred the freezer as "The Ice Box".

That’s some real cultural sensitivity right there.
