Rachel McAdams is my favourite actress. However, I feel that she is grossly underrated and underutilized. She needs to be given more lead roles and something that will really show off her full potential. She was the only reason why people stayed to watch Season 2 of True Detective.
Told my family I wanted to see this for my birthday, all I knew about it was the music and it was about boxing. We were all crying the whole time, in the full theater. With everyone else.
@@Sush8815 He has so many amazing performances. Love him in Prisoners but to me Nightcrawler is the performance of his career. Should have been nominated at the Oscars for sure.
I love Jake in this but as always Rachel McAdams knew the assignment and nailed it. She had basically 30 minutes to make the audience really care for her character to truly feel the devastation of her loss to Jake & Oona's characters.
The deal with the tape on the hands & marking of at the beginning of the film: It's a signature by an official to say the hands have been inspected as well as the hand wraps themselves. This is to prevent illegal (disqualifying) methods from being used, such as metal plates, etc. Sometimes the stadium has an official whose job it is to oversee the hands being wrapped. He will apply a stamp to seal the wrap. Other times an official signs it, freehand, with a felt pen. Then the boxers can go out to the ring and glove up in the ring - the referee may check the wrap seal. Or if they come out ready, they have to have a stamp or signature on the wrap before they can glove up in the changing room. There is a whole art to creating illegal wraps, using all sorts of things that shouldn’t be in there. Aluminium cooking foil is one such material, used to build a really hard front fist surface. Official wrap oversight and sealing is an attempt to stop these games. This process is, as you saw yourselves, conducted with the utmost scrutiny and is taken very seriously. hope that helped....😉 great reaction.
I was in MMA from age 17… when I saw this movie. I immediately switched to boxing. Jake Gylenhaal went so hard in this one. I love how he portrayed a punch drunk boxer with signs of CTE. Warrior is another great one! Also to answer your question, the officials sign the wraps and the gloves to say that they meet regulations. They make sure boxers don’t put things in their gloves that give them an advantage. Once signed off, they can’t take off the wraps or their gloves. Boxing is crazy wild behind the scenes. So much messed up stuff goes down. I’m glad they showed that
Don't know how Jake doesn't has at least 2 Oscars, I think him and Christian Bale are the best actors who are consistent and never let you down and jake scripts selection is also so good
I remember watching this one night with a friend thinking it was just another boxing movie.. we both ended up crying through most of it. Gyllenhaal is incredible.
Roy Jones was a Light Heavyweight/Heavyweight boxer with the speed of a lightweight and the power of a heavyweight....truly one of the greatest of all time.
My favorite fact about this movie is that it's inspired by Eminem's life. But instead of being told through music it's told through boxing. It's essentially like a sequel to 8 Mile and that's why Eminem was supposed to star in it.
Hey man, hence the word "inspired". It's not an exact copy of his life. You can look up stories and interviews of the writer who talked about it being inspired by Eminem. The hardship he faces after losing his wife in the movie mirrors the struggles and pitfalls of eminem's life after he lost his best friend Proof. Also it's called Southpaw, because a left handed fighter in boxing is being equated to a white rapper in hip hop. It's all metaphorical, not a true retelling of his life. You can literally look into all of this, it's true.@@codyt821

@@codyt821Eminem lost his best friend, Proof in a club shooting (Also portrayed by Mekhi Phifer in 8 Mile) That loss pushed Em to overdose and this movie was inspired by that, but Em decided he wanted to focus on music and pulled out. But you can say, 50 Cent getting this role, and Em’s label making songs for the movie were all Eminem’s business decisions.
Jake is one of the best actors of our generation, underrated and underappreciated, but this tremendous movie shows the potential he has, Southpaw is a tremendous underrated drama, good reaction friends!
I lost my brother and sister a few months before this movie came out. I saw it with my dad because we just thought it was a boxing movie and we love combat sports and by the end of the movie we had been in tears multiple times. I know not a lot of people have this movie in their top 10 but it will always be there for me because it was something that kick-started both of us healing. Also the wrapping on their hands is mostly to protect the fighters hands and the lines they put on it is to make sure it hasn't been taken off and rewrapped because fighters can tamper with them to make them harder which can cause serious brain damage to the opponent (it crippled a fighter I don't remember the name of off the top of my head that became brain dead because of it) and the signature is to show its been verified by an official I believe could he wrong on that part.
The actor that plays the friend that stuck beside him after he lost his everything in this movie is the same actor in Road House where Jake broke his hyoid bone and crushed his throat.
Jake Gyllenhaal was so intense as Billy Hope and you could just feel his passion. This felt super fresh to watch a boxing movie that was centered around neither Rocky Balboa nor Adonis Creed
A large portion of this movie was filmed in Pittburgh wrere director Antoine Fuqua is from but made it to look like Hell's Kitchen. Willis gym use to be an actual boxng gym called Carrick Community Boxing Academy for a short time but I think use to be an Eckerd (Rite Aid) back in the early 90's. The scene with Hope jogging down the street with an Italian Village Pizzaria in the background is right across the street form where the Willis gym is set at the intersection of Sankey Ave, Brownville Rd, and Maytide Street. There are not any high rise buildings as shown in the background and were CGI into the scene to make it more look like Hells Kitchen. It is the boarder of Brentwood and Carrick Buroughs. I am from this area.
52:23 really took me by surprise because of the real life incident in which a child died trying to protect his mother recently. This movie really hits you like a punch to the face, I'm glad to see you appreciating the filmmaking too.
I love how Billy was ignoring Escobar for the most part (at least in public), but when Escobar talked junk about his wife, that was the last straw. I can ignore some a-hole insulting me, but as a husband, if you come at my wife...you're definitely catching these hands🥊👊🏼
THANK YOU GUYS!!! I’ve suggested this to maybe all of my favorite reactors! I adore this film! Very emotional “sports film” w/exceptional performances! Pretty sure y’all will really enjoy it too! God loves you two, WAY MORE than anyone of us do!🙏🏾💗🥰💪🏾
James Horner was set to score Fuqua's next film too, the Denzel Washington/CHris Pratt/Ethan Hawke -starring remake of The Magnificent Seven, but died while the film was still in development. However, he had already begun work on the score, and had gotten far enough along that he had the main themes and broad strokes completed for key scenes worked out, so his assistant and protege Simon Franglen (who went on to succesd Horner for the score of the second Avatar movie) was able to mould that work into the score for the finished film,. and as a result Horner was rightly credited as co-composer for the film. This was a beautifully fitting tribute for Fuqua to give to his late friend.
The wraps are put on to protect the fighters hands and his/her opponent they mark them to make sure no one tampers with them. Famous incident fairly recently (Margarito vs Cotto) Margarito put plaster under his wraps did ridiculous amount of damage
You two together always makes me feel warm and fuzzy!! This is such a powerful movie and revisiting it with you guys and watching you experience it is truly touching. Great reaction. Adore you both!! ✨️😇
I really liked this movie and loved your reactions. I was right there with you. On another note I read that in some fight movies the POV view of punches coming at the camera is created by placing the camera in the middle of a tire and the actors punch the tire around the camera. There's other techniques I'm sure.
Antoine Fuqua's first option for Billy was Eminem but he declined. but because EM liked the story, he produced the soundtrack for this movie. Fun fact. Em said this movie is the sequel to 8 Mile, for him it was like the relationship between Em and his daughter when he was dealing with his drug problems and his fight to get her back..
I distinctly remember going to the theater with my parents to see this one, and from the get go I thought it’d be just like any other another sports drama, or something that tried to be rocky but wasn’t really getting there. But I was shocked to realize just how much I was getting into the emotional stakes of this film, the acting, the cinematography, and where it went emotionally overall. Definitely one of the films I recommend to others the most now
2:00 I always forget thay The Hustle Standard was in the soundtrack for this movie lol. I highly recommend their music to any Gym people or motivational people. They got some good songs. My favourite is probably "Hungry"
7:02. The weight of a light heavyweight is 175 pounds. A heavyweight is over 200 pounds. Middleweight is 160, Welterweight is 147 and Cruiserweight is 200.
Such a great film! Jake did an amazing job with his role. This one really hits your emotions. Great reaction Guys! Definitely check out "Warrior" next! If you've never been in the ring or the cage, the hand wraps and certification by an official are real. They always mark them and sign off. I still have mine from my fights (MMA).
It won’t get noticed on here as a recommendation….but “Reign Over Me” with Adam Sandler and Don Cheadle is a PHENOMENAL film. Honestly (in my opinion) Adam Sanlders best performance. I can’t watch it without a few tears 😅
One of my favorite fighting movies of all time. I definitely didn't expect this film to be as good as it was. It's such a great movie. I love Jake Gyllenhaal
i have enjoyed Jake's performances in basically ever movie he has done and i enjoy ranking my favourite acting for loads of different actors/actresses but Jake is one of the few i cant rank. He really brings everything to every movie he has done.
Paddy Considine (King Viserys from House Of The Dragon, films like Dead Mans Shoes, Hot Fuzz and many other great/cult movies) is in an amazing Boxing Movie with a whist called The Journeyman, that’s definitely worth putting on your To Watch List
Not sure if you guys knew this but Southpaw was originally supposed to be Eminem's 2nd movie after 8 Mile. Eminem was supposed to be Billy Hope back in 2005 or so and this movie just went into development hell. Glad this finally came out years later and he got to do the music.
Trivia. Before southpaw he filmed nightcrawler and the transition of his weight and physique from that movie to southpaw was pure dedication. BTW you should also watch nightcrawler.
South Paw refers to the stance and not really the dominate hand of the fighter. I for one am right handed and prefer fighting in South Paw because I have more control and power with the jab since you lead with the right and prefer the added power to my less dominate left hand for a cross punch. Also adding a quick over hand right after throwing out a quick jab in South Paw is one of my favorite 1-2s. However, any accomplished boxer will learn how to fight in both South Paw and orthodox and knowing how to switch between the two.
It's one of my favorite Jake Gyllenhaal films along with nightcrawler, prisoners, Spider-Man:FFH as mysterio I was 17 when it came out my mom and I watched it together to watch R rated movies, Rachael McAdams is 🔥 and stunning in this movie I ❤ the relationship with his daughter, forest Whitaker is superb, Antoine Fuqua is a brilliant director and RIP to James Horner the greatest music composer and one of my favorite music scores.
South Paw is such a freaken good movie. One of the best in its genre, and Jake is incredible in it.. Heck, EVERYONE is incredible in it! Also - The director here is the same man, whom is directing the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic 👍 Thanks for your reaction, guys 🤗
One of my favorite movies is Den of Thieves, which 50 cent plays a supporting role in but i would highly recommend reacting to that movie, it’s really good. not a boxing movie btw
Fun Fact Eminem Originally was supposed to play the role but turned it down with the tough hard work he would've had to go through, thankfully he did a few songs for this movie :)
This is such an underrated movie and Jake's performance (as always) is great in it. Best thing that will come out of Roadhouse is more people learning about Southpaw 😂 And I agree with rest of the comments... you gotta watch Warrior. Very similar movies.
i just watched this movie Right Before this reaction A Amazing but sad story that hits u like a punching bag But no tears tho But guys watching These Amazing bro-tears of urs Freaking made Me tear up damnit 😂❤ Great movie and a amazing reaction even if u made me cry boiiis ❤
Jake Gyllenhaal has delivered so many great performances throughout the years it's such a shame he was disregarded by the Academy so many times. His only Oscar nomination is still for Brokeback Mountain. Not getting an Oscar nomination for Nightcrawler which I consider it to be the performance of his career it's still the biggest snub to me ( he was nominated at all the major award shows for that one). So I understand him just doing more fun roles nowadays and not caring anymore, though I miss the days when he was doing more challenging roles. He's still one of my favorite actors of all time. Maybe one day he will get his recognition too. Great reaction!

Nightcrawler
Zodiac is good too@@Sush8815

The fighter with christian bale, rocky of course
Warrior (2nd is Fighter)

One of my favorite movies is Den of Thieves, which 50 cent plays a supporting role in but i would highly recommend reacting to that movie, it’s really good. not a boxing movie btw
The fighter and worrier as well as jungleland are also good fighting films
This movie sent he through so many emotions! Great movie! Great reaction!
Great reaction as always, guys. Favorite rapper/actor? For me that's Tupac in Gridlock'd (1997).
You have to do Warrior with tom hardy, nick nolte, and jennifer morrison.
crazy I just watched this movie at like two in the morning earlier
Such an underrated movie.
Fun Fact Eminem Originally was supposed to play the role but turned it down with the tough hard work he would've had to go through, thankfully he did a few songs for this movie :)
Interesting you brought that up because Gyllenhaal's character gives me Eminem from 8 Mile vibes.
Y'all need to see Lawless!
nightcrawler is another great performance from jake gyllenhaal should definitely give it a watch
That Eminem song used to be my go to work out song. “I am phenomenal”
Damn this movie is not spoken about enough. Brilliant movie. With Warrior also, another banger.
This was really good. Fought watching it for a while but glad I did.
This is my favorite Jake movie!🙌🏾
This is such an underrated movie and Jake's performance (as always) is great in it. Best thing that will come out of Roadhouse is more people learning about Southpaw 😂 And I agree with rest of the comments... you gotta watch Warrior. Very similar movies.
More people need to watch this movie!
You gotta watch undisputed 2 and 3 my favorite martial arts movies
i just watched this movie Right Before this reaction
A Amazing but sad story that hits u like a punching bag
But no tears tho

Hoping you guys review Roadhouse 2024.
This film is great warrior is great too highly recommend it
Andrew and John need to react to Warrior next
Awesome movie great to see it on the channel, got me In Fight mood for road house !!
Oh hell yeah! I absolutely love this movie. The scene between him and his daughter where she says she wishes he died instead kills me every damn time!
If I'm right, Light Heavyweight is 175lbs in boxing and in MMA it's usually 205lbs
Jake Gyllenhaal has delivered so many great performances throughout the years it's such a shame he was disregarded by the Academy so many times. His only Oscar nomination is still for Brokeback Mountain. Not getting an Oscar nomination for Nightcrawler which I consider it to be the performance of his career it's still the biggest snub to me ( he was nominated at all the major award shows for that one). So I understand him just doing more fun roles nowadays and not caring anymore, though I miss the days when he was doing more challenging roles. He's still one of my favorite actors of all time. Maybe one day he will get his recognition too. Great reaction!
