The Spy With No Hands: Living Legend Jay J. Armes
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 апр 2016
- A living legend of El Paso, Texas, Jay J. Armes is something out of a comic book or Bond movie. When it comes to sleuthing, he's the real deal. In his five decades of work as a private investigator, he's solved hundreds of cases around the world and worked for famous clients like Marlon Brando, Elvis and Elizabeth Taylor. He achieved all of this after overcoming a childhood accident that left him without hands.

*ba-dum tssh*
😑
Ayo
Ive decided that i want to die
Eyyyy
Why isn't there a TV series or a movie based on this guy?
batman
but he has hands.
James bond
The InBESTigators
He did have his own action figure in the 70's.
The ultimate spy pirate
Spyrate?
A "Spyrate" if you will...
A fascinating individual. I grew up with his action figure and accessories (meaning his van). Still have them both with their original boxes. Love the topic and think he is a national treasure.
"...And that's why you always leave a note."
He looks like a James Bond villain.
He was a villain in an Hawaii 5-0 episode. 😅
We live close to JJ Armes and had many wonderful encounters with him when we were young children. I remember he let us jump in the giant fish pond and he also made fresh duck for us. Very respectable and approachable man. There is nothing you can say to me about this man he is the best and will be always The world's greatest investigator!!
El Paso right?
I love watching all these videos. This channel deserves more credit and subs!!😄😄
His name is the most ironic thing about him, great guy tho.
Several months ago, maybe a year, I listened to an in-depth podcast about this man and most of his claims could not be proven even after months of investigation into his life and work. He became angry with the journalist when she started asking 'hard' questions and had her escorted off his property. I have been wracking my brain trying to remember the podcast so I could link it.
Good article www.texasmonthly.com/articles/is-jay-j-armes-for-real/
Donna Walker HEY FELLOW SNAPPER!! Here from Snap too!
I read his book, the story about Christian Brando is complete bullshit. This guy never learned to fly a helicopter, and he's nowhere near as successful as he claims.
THE ONE THE ONLY JJ ARMES!
@@cafecentrat123 - ya in your and his dreams. He's a lying failure, criminal and thief. Not that it couldn't be proved but if you have money you could set anyone up with a big bust. You're afraid to tell on this thief. That's how he got away with his lies and crimes.
Wooooow. El Paso represent!!! WOOT WOOT.
WOOT WOOT!!!
No matter when you walk into my office we won't give up. Real detective words
With this man I would spending my time in a stopped lift (elevator) any time for just hearing his words of his different life story and his dreams of our world.
It's a pleasure to hearing his voice.... so hardly to enjoy.
Many greetings
Marcel from Switzerland 🇨🇭
this is badass, i mean look at him!! double hook arm? DAAYYUM
J. J. ARMS, he could not have had a better name for an action HERO with no Hands just ARMS! He didn't even make it up, that is his GOD given name! WOW What a GREAT MAN He is!
Well said
At least he still has his Armes.
What the fuck
I had his action figure as a kid and it's one of my favorites!
For a guy with no arms, those hooks sure were handy...
I recall seeing the man on, I think it was the Mike Douglas show in the mid seventies and have a clipping from The Star tabloid newspaper from around that time. One of a kind legend.
He's the real most interesting man in the world.
Crazy cool.
at 2:22, you can see that Mr. Jay has got an armoury that would make Ian from Forgotten Weapons blush.
Petting a tiger with no hands
Nothing out of the ordinary
This man even had his own action figure toys...!
He's amazing no matter what happened to his hands he kept doing his job god bless him ❤❤❤😅
Norman Reedus' appearance on the Tonight Show brought me here. Apparently he has (or had) a Jay J. Armes action figure.
He played the Hookman in an episode of Hawaii Five O, the original series
I passed this guys house today by accident.. now I’m here watching this .. so crazy
He's Badass
You're stuck in the 70's. Nice!
only here in texas
This man is the most awesome man alive.
🤣🤮 you must be gay. He goes both ways.
JJ ARMS has no hands. Lol
high five to you!
I know where this guy house is. I pass by it everyday on my way to school.
Funny, I just saw a post on Facebook about an action figure from the 70's or 80's called J.J. Armes. He had hooks for hands too.
Grade A material here!
He has a command center for real!
Passed by his house the other day and they tore his house down to make a damn store. They were gonna make his house a museum but now its all gone..
The irony or his last name
Hmmmmm? I will call him Mini-Me! Guess he's gotta go with a bidet,very tricky endeavor,hardest case ever,wiping that is!
I'm curious as to how he initially became wealthy. Was it through Hollywood acting? Did he inherit his wealth? He had to have some source of wealth to initially invest in his private investigator business. When I was living in El Paso back in the 90s, A friend of mine told me that he initially became wealthy from a lawsuit related to the accident in which he lost his hands. But I can't find any source on the internet that confirms that.
He was featured on a Hawaii 5-0 episode called "Hookman".
MY DOG IS CALLED SIMBA
Just wanna put that out there
Who else is here because of Daryl Dixon interview (Norman Reedus) from the walking dead
me lol
His last name is ironic.
幼い子供の頃に新聞の写真を見た。大人になってから日本のテレビに本人が取材された。現実にヒーローがいた。
So he's got armes but no hands
this is hilariously ironic 😂
And to think.
I live in El Paso. And I have been past his house.
*He has so cool pets-*
I know him he live in El Paso
I pass by his house and you can see all the animal cages
@@abrahamguerrero5667 - all empty now. Home looks trashy. Nothing to see like back in the day when he was running drugs with the Zapos.
"The slap of death" - him.
Armes? Seriously?
Two "J"s (which happen to be hook shaped letters)_Armes, (pronounced arms.)
Yeah, Julian Armas is a P.I. , and he did save Brando’s son. But! My this guy is a master of exaggeration! So many many of his stories are fabricated, and his HQ is just mostly for sure. He’s basically a walking Hollywood movie.
He doesn’t even stay completely consistent on how his hands blew off, and that’s something that actually happened!
Can you explain that last part about the inconsistencies? Ive watched/read a lot about Mr. Armes, and ive only ever seen one story: the childhood railroad torpedo story. If there is another one, i geniuinely would like to know.
armes with no arm! hemm. . .
Takes after his fathers side of the family, he's all arms
Jay J. No Armes
I have the figure & the autobiography
Somebody send this to Danny from NSP and Game Grumps!
*hand* him a beer
Mr Armes
That Spy's not one of us! He aint got no hands!
1:41 how the heck an MG34 ended in Mexico?!
Never heard of him .
They should make him the new most interesting man in the world
How does he shower?
Andrew Ricardo he change those hooks with inflated gloves.
Carefully.
My Grandpa is friends with him
Who's watchedthe Hamish and andy
Man you guys are cold. Imagine if you had his disability.
poor animals
1:28 aight come out you Jojo fans he said the name cmon come out wherever you people are
Question how does he wiped himself
His name had to be armes.....

False advertising

Meet the spy TF2
He can't solve Tupac death
Tupac was sat on by 10 Swalruses.
Keven Zephir whut
“Jay”mesbond
anyone watching this cos of game grumps?
Do u need a hand with that
Et Mercii squeeziee mdrrr
guys like a real super hero hook man or the hooker-oh *~* ehh his name suit him best
This can't be real life
His fiction is not at all convincing. One Mexican case of rescuing a missing person when the authorities themselves were likely the culprits does not recommend his delusion of being the world's best PI.
Spyrate
Haha his name is jay j*armes*
he has no hands and his last name is arms
im not making fun im just saying
Et Mercii squeeziee mdrrr
