I got goosebumps right up my arse😂😂😂...living Australia I've heard a fair amount of colourful phrases but this is😂😂😂😂..
There are two sequels after this very good.
Yup I had to pause and stop laughing to continue. this is great.
this line made me scroll to comments just to see this LOL
The hairs on my ass are standing straight up…spider senses! 😂
10:41 bro ACTING UP lmfao down reasonably
Now, Equalizer 2.
Brother the premier hasn't even begun 😭
Then 3!
Yes 👍
Only if they don't mind falling asleep from boredom after the first scene 😴...
No ! "Fallen" (1998)
This is based on an 80’s tv series. In it, John McCall, the Equalizer was a one-man A-Team Samaritan, going around helping people who were in too deep, fell through the cracks or couldn’t approach the police and get help through normal channels.
Funnest of facts, the 80's show was with an older british man, well they actually asked Denzel to be in it, and Denzel said he would have done it if not for the fact he was on a big 80's hospital drama called St. Elsewhere.
I love people like you. Constantly teaching me something. That's wild to think about dude!@@punkem733
Minor correction, it was Robert McCall
@@chrishayes1934 yeah thanks. That’s really weird that I typed John lol
In the 1950s, Alan Ladd (SHANE, the 3 classic noir detective films with Veronica Lake) created a radio-show called BOX 13, in which Ladd was a burned-out crime-reporter that was convinced there were 'better stories out in the city' than the fluff pieces his editor wanted. So, Ladd advertised, "Got a problem? Got a story? Write me at Box 13" and each show would solve that mystery or expose the criminals. Wonderful series. And perhaps all of the detective tales were based on some hired-hero saving the day.
The fact that he stays silent and his face never changes makes him terrifying. They couldn't find a better person for the role. Denzel nailed this role! ❤
I think the villian did a great job one of my fav villains
The Equalizer trilogy is truly fantastic. Whilst the world isn't as deep or rich as something like John Wick, Denzel is as captivating as ever and you really care for him and those around him. Each movie brings its own flavour to the table, definitely worthwhile watching all three.
Thanks for the reaction as always!
The book Robert is reading at 5:59 , a "man who thinks he is a knight in shining armor but lives in a world where there are no nights anymore" is *DON QUIXOTE* , written in 1605 by Miguel de Cervantes. It is considered the first modern novel in history.
The acting is simply better and it’s more deep story , John wick is just basically an arcade movie of action
@@JHolland I agree with you. The Equalizer is a almost real, human story. John Wick is a gothic, comic-book, dark superhero story... just like HANNAH said. So I prefer THE EQUALIZER.
It’s better than John wick

My father died in June of this year. This was his favorite series. He always told me he wanted to see the third one with me that came out a day after his birthday, Sept 30th. I watched it with him by me in spirit and you guys need to check out Equalizer 2 and the newest, 3. 3 might be the best one out of the 3, in my opinion. Great reaction!
That's tough bruh. Sorry for your loss. I'm sure he was there with you enjoying E3.
Watched this video as love the series too then a little look at comments, never reply but need to, Bless you, that’s touching, can’t even imagine that, he definitely did watch it with you in spirit, hoping you all the best matey
My father also died in June 2023. Like a former teacher and current friend of mine said, “it’s a horrible club to be a part of”. I share similar feelings about Dune Part 2, coming out at the end of the month. My father loved Dune, novel and Lynch film, and we’d watched the recent Part 1 together. I’ve never been a person of faith but I’ve felt his presence from time to time and I have no doubt you felt the same way when watching Equalizer 3. Details vary, but the tragedy is the same and these moments serve to, in a way, preserve the beauty of life when everything seems bleak, which now it does. Paying continued respect and honor to their memories is the way to keep going.
❤
"WHEN YOU PRAY FOR RAIN YOU GOTTA DEAL WITH THE MUD TOO" that line was soo good and fyi there are 2 more equalizer movies
Hannah, the respect you felt for the big guy who gave Denzel a hard fight deserved the respect. Actor Tait Fletcher has the distinct honour of being killed by both The Equalizer and Baba Yaga. John Wick pulled his beard and slammed his head on a table, shot him point blank into his ear in the battle at the Red Circle club!
The Equalizer is based on one of the best TV series in the 80s. This movie captured the entire series almost perfectly. The tagline which he placed as a newspaper ad for people in distress: “Odds against you? Call The Equalizer.”
Coming home from work late at night, whenever I felt nervous about the suspicious people on the streets, I reminded myself of the various lessons by Robert McCall in the TV series.”Walk with confidence, don’t act like a victim, stay in the light, avoid dark alleys, pay attention to the people around you”.
Have you seen "The book of Eli"? Denzel Washington learned Filipino martial arts for that movie in 2010, he's really good at that, enough to do this movie series. I agree with you, this movie has a more realistic tone than the Wick series, Wick universe is more a fantastic one, here The Equalizer lives in the actual world with enemies according. Had a great time watching it with you guys, hugs from Chile
Denzel Washington is a huge sign of quality for me. Every film he is in is amazing.
One of my favorite lines from this movie was when Susan said “He didn’t come for help, he came for permission”
I said that in a different reaction to this movie, haha:).
Yep 😁
@@marximus4 yea xD
I think one of the coldest lines of this movie series, only second to "I'm gonna kill each and everyone of you..." iykyk, 😏😏😏
Same!!!
"Hes like rambo but his forest is a home depot" 😂😂😂😂 bro
About sciatica:
My wife was completely incapacitated with it about 8 or 9 years ago. Although morphine helped her sleep, the thing that really made it go away was walking. She went to physical therapy and they had her walk on a treadmill with some stretching too. As she did this, the sciatica progressively went away.
I had my sciatic nerve pinched around September last year. Felt like someone was nonstop dragging a knife up and down my leg and went 3 days without sleep before finally getting morphine lol Even then it was rough. Ever since then i get such huge amounts of anxiety and dread if my leg gets sore in that area thinking itll be as bad as before lol
You gotta stretch y'all! And make sure the vit d and magnesium levels are correct. :)
I don't wanna sound like a commercial but yoga saved my spine. I should be in a ton of pain or on drugs.
@Itsunclegabby Yesssss that's the ONLY thing that helped mine. And I'm in recovery (almost 8 years off opiates) so I was terrified to take morphine or anything for it. If it weren't for yoga and walking, I would definitely be on pain pills. Scary to think about but that pain is the second worse thing I've had happen, second ONLY to a kidney stone
@@JessieDee13lost excessive weight that was in my stomach by walking 5 miles per day... No more sciatica.
@@miniliktheodros9894 SAME! I ended up losing a total of 60lbs!
I watched the original '80s series that this movie was based on. I had liked that show, but Denzel Washington took it to a new level! I really enjoyed his take on the character the best! He's what I imagine Robert McCall to be.
Also, wait till you guys see "The Equalizer 2", especially the opening scene. Denzel Washington is such a unique figure in Hollywood, he's one of a few, everything he touches just pure gold. He's truly amazing.
Facts. Denzel knocked it out of the park. I remember the 80's tv show on cbs on mondays right after the tv show cagney and lacey.
Equalizer is great. Love Denzel. I saw part 3 at the movies and screamed out loud at one point. If you mess with his friends….it’s over.
What makes this, (and the TV series it’s based on), work so well is that it is revenge on the bullies - it’s basically revenge porn for people who have experienced bullies. That’s why it’s so satisfying for the audience, that’s what stands out about it compared to say John Wick. The Equalizer is all about helping ordinary people who can’t fend for themselves in the face of evil. And yes, there are two more movies in the franchise - so far.
New sub here and I gotta say Love your chemistry and great reaction. Can’t wait for 2 and 3.
Welcome mate ❤️👊🏽
"The Jackal" (1997) with Bruce Willis, Richard Gere, & Jack Black
Highly underrated & unappreciated spy/assasin movie in my opinion
(To be fair, the late 90s had a lot of bangers so it flew under the radar)
You should both enjoy the sequel to this one. If you haven't seen it yet, I would recommend Man On Fire. That film is actually based on real life. Denzel does very well playing roles where righteous retribution is needed.
He shot nikolai with a pin gun. It uses typically .22 blanks to drive pins through treated lumber down to a concrete slab. We were on a job once and some metal framers were fastening metal studs onto a wall and they accidentally shot a pin perfectly through a crack in the concrete wall and went straight through the head of a receptionist sitting at her desk in the room right next to where the renovating was being done and was killed instantly. Those tools are no joke. They are classified as firearms and you need to be certified to operate them.
Hello Guys big admirer of your work. So this franchise has two sequels. I also want to give you so facts. So the Equalizer first was a TV series here in the states back in the 80s. The Robert McCall was a former British spy that help ppl in NYC when no one else could. The dis a remake the tv series which currently still going it stars Queen Latifah in the lead role.
Lastly,Denzel Washington is for the same city im from its called Mount Vernon,NY. He one of many celebrities for here. We, citizens of Mount Vernon New York are very proud of him. He's a standard-bearer of the city of Mount Vernon. Definitely one of them. He never forgets where it comes from. He always represents mount vernon to the fullest and we love him for it
Your dynamics, that unforced natural bickering of each other (that "occasionally" comes up) is: comedy gold! That alone is worth watching!
Why doesn't this channel have like over a million subscribers ...you guys have the BEST reaction ever....love it😂
One day!!! And you will be there ❤️👊🏽
@@justtrustash absolutely bro....
"The fact that he has his shirt tucked in for the entire movie is even more disrespectful." That line had me dying.
In the original show, Frank McCall had a newspaper classified ad that read, "Got a Problem? Odds Against You? Call the Equalizer" with his phone number.
The Equalizer 3 is in Theaters NOW .... 2 is great ... 3 is Great .... all 3 are fricken' GREAT !!
in the original series. Robert McCall was ex CIA. and he'd put a message in the newspaper. "Gotta problem? The odds against you? I'll equalize them."
FYI: THE Equalizer, was inspired by the 1980s American Television show, THE EQUALIZER.
Denzel was just made for this role everything about him in the equalizer trilogy is something else he's just too good ..
Preachhhh
@@justtrustash 😂
The Equalizer helps people who are being victimized. So in a situation where someone has more power than someone else, he is the equalizer.
25:30 love it when someone is so excited about something
IM WAITING FOR THIS. You guys should check Sicario 2, The Equalizer 2, The Maze Runner 1,2,3.
Hilarious reaction to one of my favorite movies. I love it so much.
Cheers you legend ❤️
Dasteh tun dard nakon!
Morbid little fact the bridge at 6:00 where they Denzel and the girls are walking opens up for boats to go through, on one day a few years ago a lady was walking across and the bridge operator din`t see her on it and opened the bridge, the lady was crushed to death by the opening mechanism of the bridge (East Boston, MA). I used to live by the gas station at 6:12 (end of the block) many years ago. Up the hill from it is the location where Paul revere saw the British arriving in the Boston Harbor (The British are coming!) during the revolutionary war!
It's really too bad you skipped past one of the best scenes of the film. "He didn't come for my help. He came for permission." I love that line.
23:47. the connection in melodys lol
I will never tire of how mad some of Ash's symbolisms are. Keep going, baby!
He's so in love with symbolism that it doesn't even connect anymor😂
As Always Love Seeing Your Reactions To All These Great Movie's, Guy's
You definitely should watch the sequels but if you want an amazing movie like these too you have to watch Nobody. One of the greatest movies of this style ever.
I cant breath yalls reaction is hands down the goat LMAOOOOO
Love you mate, thank you so much ❤️👊🏽
The best part about this reaction channel is that they actually react than just watch unlike most others
Bro she brings in the people but they stay for the amazing content that is JusttrustAsh and the amazing chemistry you both have. Great reaction! this movie is fantastic the next one is even better cant wait.
Ash, if you really wanna see Denzel being an absolute boss, then you definitely need to check out American Gangster.
I knew the minute Denzel closed the door and locked it the reactions were going to be brilliant 😂😂
Aaah Ash, just what I needed. I love you brother.
My brother, I got you 👊🏽
You use that type of nail gun to shoot nails into concrete to hold 2×4 to hold bottom of the wall when you frame houses
There's a funny scene in Wolf of Wall Street where Belfort's father is trying to watch the original series on television when getting interrupted by a phone car.
It’s based on the TV show from the 1980s about a guy who is a CIA operative
Although in the show, he is much older and doesn’t do a lot of physical stuff
But it’s the same premise, and it was a great show
Death is the great equalizer. All dead men are equal. No one wins.
So if he is THE Equalizer. He is death... metaphorically.
I watch this movie so many times. Lol. Never thought of texbook ki$$ing. Ash is freaking hilarious.
The Equalizer is in a genre of its own 🔥
You must see 2.
Ive invented a drinking game for when I watch y’all’s reactions. It’s called SFS (shots for symbolism’s) every time ash says “symbolisms”, you take a shot 😂 I get pretty toasted
GREAT flick. I have to buy 2 and see 3!!! I love re-watching stuff.
Yay! Finally! You 2 have made my weekend!❤
I wanna say this is my all time favorite movie equalizer you have to watch the 2nd one and 3rd one too also amazing reaction to the equalizer
I don't think there is such a thing as a bad denzel Washington movie.
The girl in the story here is from Kick ass, very good actress if you haven't seen it yet would recommend.
Speaking of Sherlock Hannah, Ash I think you and Hannah should definitely watch Sherlock Holmes 2009 film. It’s an amazing film that is underrated and not reacted to by many. Also, Sherlock is played by Robert Downey Jr. I also can’t wait for you guys to watch Equaliser 2. Love watching your reactions guys.
1:48 Denzel's character is the Equalizer because evil men have taken power over a situation that he needs to use good to fix. It's bringing balance to the aspect of good and evil when evil currently has the upper hand in the situation. It's like when Anakin throws Palapatine off the ledge to his death in Episode 6 of Star Wars where he finally fulfills the prophecy of him bringing balance to the force by ending the evil reign of Palpatine. Well until Disney effed that up.
BROOOO the world at war, bouncing betty reference 😂😂 respect
God damnit you two crack me up, the only reaction channel that I look forward to the intro and your banter.
Her hair is always on point 🙂
"Give your meant a good ol rub" i had to pause it after that. Man 😂😂😂
This is my new FAVORITE reaction from y'all!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
INJECT THIS INTO MY VEINS! Ash and hannah reacting to equalizer finally! Never clicked on a youtube thumbnail faster, thing ive bruised my thumb lol 😂😎
Hope you enjoyed it you legend ❤️
THE DISRESPECT! bro I agree sooo much on that. Throughout the whole movie, I thought “these gangster mfs gettin torn up by one man with a plaid tuck-in who takes a bus everywhere” 😂😂.
Great episode guys!
LEGENDS of RUclips Reactions
So I remember you watching his movie 'Man on fire'. I'll never forget you saying it was his best performance. It wasn't. I'm old enough to remember that his best performance was the true story 'the Hurricaine'. EVERY ONE expected he would won an academy award but he didn't. This was back when..well a different time. He gave another good performance after in 'Training day'. And won the academy award. Everyone felt that the award was in lieu of over looking his masterful work in the Hurriciane. I would love for you guys to finally see that film. I'm from Toronto and the hurricaine was well loved here 😢 RIP. Hope you here my request. Love you guys take it E babyÿyy.
"They all look like magicians and vampires at the same time" 🤣🤣🤣
Great reaction, and Both of y'all's locks are on point.!!!
Cheers mate ❤️
Sciatica can be helped by anti inflammatory medicine (like Aleve) and working on posture.
If you are a side sleeper put a pillow between your knees at night to help your legs be closer to parallel to your body.
Volume for days!!!! 🔥🔥🙌🙌
This movie is great with amazing actors.
The Equalizer used to be a TV series in which people who needed help from someone with "special skills" Each episode was a different situation.
The scene in the diner was a textbook killing.😅😅😅
Crystal head vodka co. makes skull shotglasses like those @ 10:30 I love the ones I have
Amazing reaction plus don't mess this Robert 👏👏👏
This series of films, along with Burn Notice on tv, are great examples of people trained to do bad things doing good works. Great stuff, thanks!
Damn i love ths two probably one of my most fav reaction channel 😂😂
Means so much mate, thank you 😂
I love you guys y'all be having me and my wife crying laughing 🤣😂😂 you both gotta do "Eyes wide shut"
32:20
Robert literally just *bored* that guy to death!
Love you both! the intros are literally my favourite thing on YT!
You guys have to see The Book Of Eli he plays in this one it’s amazing
Hannah, an example of equalize, say you're in a space shuttle with air and outside is space where there is no air. If you want to go out into space (with a spacesuit of course), you have to equalize or make both the pressure outside of your shuttle and inside the shuttle the same pressure. Otherwise all the air inside your space shuttle will rush out into space (interstellar Matt Damon tries to get into the station).
Same goes for underwater applications and other high tech science applications.
People think The Equalizer copied John Wick, when they both came out the same year. Bob and John: Denzel and Keanu were creating movies that demanded sequels.
The film is about being who you are. When Robert talks with Alina about Hemingway's "Old Man and the Sea", he says 'the old man's gotta be the old man. You gotta be who you are in this world". Robert avoided being who he is in this world because of a promise he made to his wife. At the end of the film, we see Robert sitting on the beach looking out at the sea. He realizes this is who HE is ~ the equalizer. That's the symbolism in the film.
Btw this was based on a tv show from when I was a kid (I'm 50 from Indiana in the U.S.) called The Equalizer. Though he was an older Englishman. I think he was ex SAS. It was on network tv so not near as cool as this.
You are right , Where he flickers the light at the End It is A bit Of a show off But It also serves The purpose Of Causing the brain to Get Confused/Dazed Because Of How The Eyes would be trying to Adept To the Sudden Shift From Light to Dark ( This is why in police Reality shows the Suspect alwasy gets a flashlight to the face) So not only Does It Stun an Keep Pushkin in place , It also insures he doesnt noticed the Trap Because hes in a hurry to Make his Eyes "Normal" ( I worked the Private security Sector For a while and One of the Tricks they taught as a defense was If Your Torch runs out in Critical situation , Take your mobile out An set it to Flash with the Multi-shot Mode on , has the same effect)
Ash, "You're getting killed by a guy with his shirt tucked in! This so disrespectful!" 30:38. lol
the fact no one (from what I've seen) hasn't commended Hannah's singing is slacking
2 and 3 are also good!
INJECT IT IN MY VEINS!!! I knew you guys would crush this reaction
Proper proper appreciate you mate ❤️
One of my favorite Denzel movies, but OMG!!! The highlight of this reaction was the sound Hannah @ 11:39
I've been told many times and heard many times that THE EQUALIZER, TAKEN, and JOHN WICK take place in the same UNIVERSE.
Dude every time I see your videos alert I be singing that theme just trust ash is so addictive 😂😂😂 Just Trust asssssehhh
Your reactions are so good 😂. I would watch a movie starring you two
The 3rd movie of this series just came out in September it's awesome all 3 are good but this one and the 3rd one is the best to me
Ash is quick with puns 😂😂😂 love it!!
