Verbal Kint didn't make up Keyser Soze, Keyser Soze was masquerading as Verbal Kint.
Right
And Keyser Soze was just using names found around the interrogation room to make up the story he was telling the detectives. Who knows what the actual story was.
Exactly
Why didn't he have a Hungarian accent?
@@brucef310 Maybe he really did. Hans in _Die Hard_ could affect an American accent but normally he had a German one.
Hey Asia and BJ, Keyser Soze DID exist. He was Verbal. The clue to his identity can be found in his name. Keyser is the German word for King and Soze is Turkish for "one who talks too much"-Verbal. So, Verbal Kint. He was Soze all along. The entire story was made up plucked from items on the bulletin board. This is a literary device known as the unreliable narrator. FIght Club used the same narrative technique. Anyway, glad you guys enjoyed the movie.
Kaiser means emperor, Koenig means king.
well said! Also "Memento" and "The Sixth Sense"
Verbal was Kaiser. Verbal wasn't really behind the ropes watching Keaton get murdered. He was shooting Keaton. He bluffed everything.
And no doubt delighting in his own brazenness and intelligence as he bs'ed Agent Kujan by playing the sniveling idiot-coward
FUN FACT: Redfoot flicking the cigarette in McManus' face was actually a blooper. It was supposed to hit him in the chest but they kept the blooper in the film.
No one got away with $91 million, because, as Keaton and Kujan said, there was no money or drugs on the ship. Söze used Keaton, Hockney and McManus to clear out the other thugs on the ship and the dock so he could get to and kill the witness, Marquez. And Söze was real. Verbal Kint was just a front so that Söze could both interact with people he needed to while at the same time maintaining the illusion of Söze as a spook story. He just made up the backstory and the names from the bulletin board so that there would be no leads for Kujan to follow once he left.
Thanks for explaining it properly to them.
There was money in the van.
I think the cops got it.
There was cash at the dockside though. The Hungarians were buying the witness from the Argentinians to use against Soze.
Although Kevin Spacey won his first academy award for his role in this film, I give props to the writing, in which Christopher McQuarrie also received an academy award for best original screen play.
One of my husband’s favorite movies. The last scene, when Kevin Spacey walks straight and tall and like the Kaiser Boss he is, is one of the best movie scenes ever. ❤
Verbal Kint is Keyser Soze. Keyser is real, Verbal is not. The other guys in the group were just insignificant low-lifes. They were nothing but stooges to help Soze get on that boat to kill the informant. Soze personally went on the boat to kill everyone not Kobayashi. Soze had to see everything to its final end. He would want the informant on the boat to see him face to face when he killed him. Kobayashi was Soze’s lawyer; his right-hand man.
I think that Keaton’s involvement was nothing more than to lend a sense of authenticity to the operation. Keaton was just in the dark as the rest of the gang. Since he was an ex-cop his involvement drew the attention of the real cops. Verbal wanted them to believe that Keaton was Soze. It was all a game to Soze.
Kevin Spacey won an Academy Award for his performance.
Clicked so fast!!!! This is one of my favorite movies of all time. Getting to see people react to the plot twist is always the highlight of my day. Great reaction! 💪🏽❤️🔥🔥
I’m about to watch this and I agree with you completely!!!!! Now lemme watch.
It's a small taste of what it felt like to watch this movie for the time.
Same
This takes me back. That was a summer of really great films.
YES!!
The twist ending has been parodied or spoofed in over 100 movies and TV series.
The ending of Scary Movie is probably the most notable example.
Which is why it's a good thing they watched this before someone ruined it with the parody suggesting one of those movies first (like Spaceballs before finishing Star Wars Original trilogy)
There’s even a nod to this movie in Eddie Murphy’s remake of Doctor Doolittle!
Now that you have seen this the next film to watch is L.A. Confidential which came out two years later with Kevin Spacey in another great role with another fantastic plot twist no one ever sees coming.
Great film.
Yes , he was good in SEVEN too ,Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman star , but Spacey makes the most of his limited screen time.
ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!! Can't recommend LA Confidential enough. Great movie with a plot twist.
It's irrational, but I've watched enough movies with you guys to think of you as friends. A beautiful wife with a handsome husband, happy and thriving, warms an old man's heart. Y'all stay in love, enjoy life every day you can. It's good to know people like you exist.
If you watch this again, the scene of Verbal waiting in the interview room reads differently, even though you know it's the same footage. First time you see it, he just looks bored, second time it's like he is scanning the board to pick up the details he is going to spin
EDIT: Two scenes in this were made by the editor. The line up scene when the cast were cracking up was a nightmare for the director, but John Ottman pulled the rushes together and made it look like they were just showing contempt for the cops. The other scene is the reveal at the end, it was his editing that really made the scene fly
Keyser Söze is now a verb, notably used on Buffy the Vampire Slayer: “Does anyone else feel like they’ve been Keyser Söze’d?” Michael Adams defined to Keyser Söze as to “definitively manipulate, outmaneuver.”
I use Keyser Soze like that. I 💕 Buffy 🤗
The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was to convince the world he didn't exist
Close. The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was to convince the world he was God.
@@davelister2961 Lame 🙄
@@davelister2961but, that’s not the movie quote.
not that i believe , but makes you wonder what's Gods trick was.
And like that, puff, he's gone.
The line-up scene when they read the statement is one of the greatest improvised scenes in film. The actors we all trying to make each other laugh. It made the director furious. Such an iconic scene.
Also, 1995 is a phenomenal year for crime films: The Usual Suspects, Se7en, Heat, Casino, La Haine, etc.
When they were filming the lineup scene Benecio Del Toro was farting the whole time, they ended up breaking without getting the scene and the director cut the scene together in edit using the footage they had.
I think is was cuz Benicio Del Toro ripped a nasty fart during the lineup scene
Primal fear
Love watching the expressions on peoples faces when they see that moment of Kevin Spacey walking straight and Chaz dropping the cup after he realizes “Verbal” is actually Keyser Soze👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥one of the greatest movies 🎉🎉 great reaction….. another great movie is “ IDENTITY “ 2003 with Ray Liotta & John Cusack 👍👍👍
YES YES YES!!! Identity is also like this movie. Great one as well.
The clues are out there to be noticed, but nobody did notice them at the first watch and you are just amazed of all the details and clues you missed in a second watch, this is my all time favorite crime/thriller movie and an example why the 90s movies were original and amazing , Btw guys I have been suggesting this movie fir months to you , you really should react to " Blood Diamond " It's a masterpiece
Gabriel Bryne is a great actor. My favorite movie with him is "Point of No Return ". You would like the action in it.
"A Simple Twist of Fate" is a close second and it also has Steve Martin in a serious role.
Verbal WAS Kizer, he used THEM to get on the ship to kill the one guy that knew his face. He used Keaton because the cops were already on him (scapegoat style) 😎
Maybe he used them, the only thing we know is real is the line up, they end up at the dock, everyone but Kent dies. The rest is speculation heavily filtered through Kents bullshit. Only Kent knows the real events.
You know when a movie is a WTF thing when even Gabriel Byrne (Keaton) got into a fight after a screening because he thought that HE was Keyser Soze!!!
I read it was after the Hollywood premiere, so the first time any of them had seen the whole movie. The whole time they told him he was Keyser.
Also now you can see that it's this film's ending they paodied at end of Scary Movie
saw this on vhs in like 96. blew me away. still one of my faves.
31:31 Family Guy made fun of this famous movie ending, when Peter Griffin sees the movie and realizes Kevin Spacey´s leg walking normal , Peter bursts out:
"Uhhhhhhhh... He was gay the whole time!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's gold. Once of these days I have to watch Family Guy...too many shows.
There's a whole list of stories about the line-up scene. They were told to deliver the line however they wanted but Benecio del Toro was supposed to have farted for 12 or so takes in a row, that made the all giggle.
One of the few movies you watch more than once. There are so many hints plain in your face right from the start but the masterful storytelling and pacing deflects it till the end.
I saw this around the time Sixth Sense, Fight Club, and Boondock Saints came out...and this one ranks up there with best twist ending ever.
Damn what a good year for movies, Asia and Bj should definitely check out Fight Club next!
@@honovy4393 Wow! They haven't done Fight Club yet. Definitely a must see...but you forgot the first rule of Fight Club. You do not talk about Fight Club!
Watch this movie multiple times. I watch it about twice a year and I still catch new stuff. This is the best example of an unreliable narrator that has probably been put to film. Great movie. I promise, when you watch it again, you'll catch new stuff.
This is a complicated movie! It took me a couple of times watching to completely understand it. I remember recommending it to my grown son and I told him to make sure he doesn’t scroll on his phone while watching. You must pay attention. I love it!
I saw it in the theater when it came out. You can't imagine a theater full of people seeing the ending plot twist at the same time. People were either just stunned silent or "what the hell did I just see?". I'm so glad to see you two react to this one! The best ending twist!
The twist is pretty epic but not entirely out of the blue.
Verbal's subtle reactions to Agent Kujan's obsession with Keaton and his blind belief that he was the one pulling the strings deserves a chef's kiss upon rewatch. Kevin Spacey is one of the best actors alive.
I love watching people react to this, everyone has the same look on their face. This is truly one of the greatest stories ever written, no spoilers, no easy clues, just pure genius. Anyway, loved the review, love you guys, take care and stay safe ❤️
Got so excited when I saw this was the latest film you guys watched. Watching people's reaction to the ending never gets old.
Chaz Palmentario plays Det. Asking questions.👍🏼👍🏼
"and poof, he was gone!!" great story hell yeah
I remember back in the mid-90’s I had to work on the road on week…watched Seven and then The Usual Suspects on back2back nights in the hotel room. Quite memorable.
Asia is such a cutie, love her sense of humor too
The story isn't made up; it's Keyser's taking what really happened and embroidering around it in a desperate attempt to get the hell out of the police station before he's found out. That's why he yells F**K when Cuyon asks who Keyser Soze is. He had the whole thing worked out and then somebody had to mess up his story, so now he has to come up with a whole bunch of other bullschiesse. Every time Cuyon comes back in with more info, Keyser has to re-write the rest of the story.
Spacey's performance is so layered and masterful here. There's that moment when Cuyon is bragging that he's smarter than Verbal and he's going to find out what he wants to know - if you look closely, you can see Keyser's eyes twinkling and his lips twitching as he tries hard not to bust out laughing.
I have a different take, if I were trying to sale some one a lie, and they dropped what they thought was surpise information, I would also lean into that. It is hard to lie convicgly to some one, it is much easier if you can get them to convince themselves . It is what theater depends on , you wanting to go along with the story, I think it can be seen as Kent reacting the way the Cop wants him to react and he does it so the cops more convinced.
@@spornge That's the same thing I said, dude. Keyser was taking the new info and using it to keep his story going. That's why, near the end, you see him rubbing his head and thinking really hard, and when Cuyon presses him, he starts going "wait, wait". Because the story's gotten so messed up, he has to try hard to make it work. He's trying not to fuck up and say something too obviously weird that would tip Cuyon off. Luckily, it's at that point that Cuyon drops his little bomb about Keyser being Keaton. That lets Keyser off the hook and he jumps at the chance to agree with him and get out of there. Cuyon's very arrogance ends up letting the villain escape.
This is one of the greatest movies ever made, and with one of the greatest movie plot twists EVER! You never see it coming, at least I didn't.
BJ: She's not gonna understand. Y'all never do.
Asia: Talk to the hand. 😂
Love y'alls banter! This is one of the most perfect movies ever made; love it! Thanks for the fun reaction to it!! Always a good time watching with you both. :)
Such a well done movie, great cast, and unforgettable story.
I remember watching this first time on VHS growing up at my Mums.
As soon as it finished, rewound, pressed play and it's had me ever since.
The movie Memento should be on the must-watch list. You both will love it! 🔥🔥
TWIST AFTER TWIST...MY FAVE MOVIES.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Benecio Del TORO'S first major film...He used a weird voice and got the part!!! He plays Finster.❤
I noticed Benicio in License to Kill. For his small role he seems so bad ass 😂. And sexy in a bad boy kind of way. Jm2C
Benecio Del Toro put on the heavily affected accent because he realised nothing that FInster had to say actually mattered, so instead he decided to make the character memorable
Ok, now we are talking... I haven't seen the reaction, but this movie is one of the best of all time.
How have you not seen this yet?! Classic! One you can watch again and again!
Minimum twice so you can pick up all the things you missed.
@@jamiemacdonald436 Yes! Absolutely twice. The second time to see it through the eyes of knowing who Keyser Soze is and trying to see if you can pick up on any clues that may have pointed to Verbal Kent being Keyser Soze.
Ok so I saw this a month before it was released in a special screening and couldn't talk about it with anyone all that time. It immediately went in my top ten and was the movie I'd seen most times (7) in the theater until ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD (8). It's super fun to watch people react to this. Believe it or not Stephen Baldwin was the most famous of them when it came out. This is how Benicio Del Toro became my 2nd favorite actor. And it's the first time I saw Giancarlo Esposito. This predates Breaking Bad by 15 or so years that's why he's way better looking. Now you have to rewatch it to see everything you missed. 😊
Do The Right Thing (1989) is where I first saw Giancarlo Esposito then Fresh (1994).
@@joeyrogers7017 I probably should have said "first took notice of him". I'm sure I had seen DTRT before this but probably didn't realize the handsome detective was that weird guy from Spike Lee's film.
@@antoinettelopes As the one kid says" String Cheese Hair mutha______er"😄
I rented this movie instead of watching it in the movies; after my mind was blown, I handed the movie to my brother in law and said “watch this”. He asked me what it was about, then I said “watch this”. That all I could say. He watched it and it became his favorite movie!
Top 5 movie of all time btw, best reveal I've seen in any mystery ever
FUN FACT: KEVIN SPACEY ASKED TO BE IN THE MOVIE BEFORE HE EVEN KNEW WHAT IT WOULD BE.
he thought it was a movie with 13 yr old boys in it
@@jjmakerI heard p diddy auditioned but just lost out
@@jjmakerWorking Title: “Boy Buffet”
@@jjmaker Spacey Singer One more it would have been a GD nambla convention.
The survivor in the hospital was speaking Hungarian. Basically said:
“He killed everyone”
“Do you understand?”
“Listen to me”
“I saw everything”
Chazz Palminteri was hilarious in _Oscar_ with Tim Curry, Marisa Tomei & Sylvester Stallone.
Dan Hedaya (the cop) was hilarious starring Tom Hanks & Meg Ryan in _Joe Versus the Volcano_ and in _The Addams Family_ as the lawyer.
Soze roughly translated from Turkish means VERBAL. 😊
SHIP SCENES DONE IN LONG BEACH, CA...MY TOWN!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Asia your timing is impeccable 4:01 "Here it comes. Almost there." Asia "Aa-choo" [And Cut]
If you remember at the end of Scary Movie, Doofy is walking like Kevin Spacy's character at the end of this movie. This was spoofed in Scary Movie too.
Apparently Gabriel Byrne thought that he was going to be Kaiser as well. The director, Brian Singer, told each of the main actors that they were Kaiser Söze, and filmed the scenes to make it seem so. But Kevin Spacey was the only other one to know the truth. When the film premiered, Gabriel Byrne walked out and had a discussion with Singer in the parking lot for the better part of an hour about it.
"Unusual Suspects"! I'm dying here!! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂💀 One of the best suspense films ever made! Awesome reaction!!! ❤❤
You're back?! It's like you never left!
Se7en, which you already did, and The Usual Suspects, both critically acclaimed movies with Kevin Spacey in them, came out within a month of eachother.
29:00 - genuine respect to anyone who can correctly tell me, in conventional North American English, exactly what BJ said.
Did y'all notice how Verbal (Soze) held a cigarette underhanded? It's how Europeans do it.
And what about Benicio del Toro, you guys? He was fantastic in this movie, too. This is one of his first early movie roles after he left modeling (he was an underwear model for Calvin Klein back in the day). I think you guys have seen him in Sicario. He won the 1996 Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Actor. Kevin Spacey won the 1996 Acadamy Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role. He is such a great actor and it's very unfortunate that he is a sexual predator. Enough said on that subject. The movie itself won the 1996 Oscar for original screenplay. This is one of my favorite movies. Now you have to watch L.A. Confidential, another crime drama movie from the same time in the '90s with Russell Crowe, Guy Pierce, Kim Basinger and Kevin Spacey. You're going to really enjoy that one, too!
The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he doesn't exist.
Best! Twist! Ending! Ever! 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Primal Fear ranks pretty highly.
Up there with Primal Fear and Sixth Sense.
Finally!!! 😊 Just yesterday was thinking “When are they going to react to The Usual Suspects?” 😁
Yessss! So glad you guys watched this! It's a delight to watch you experience these movies.
Lol..love y'alls reaction to old movies..keep it up 😂😂
The phrase "The Usual Suspects" comes from the timeless movie "Casablanca" from 1942.
Such a great film! And a stacked cast! It's important to understand that everything Verbal Kint said at the police station was made up or heavily colored.
Verbal/Soze did kill Keaton at the beginning/end. If you listen during that first seen he whispers, "are you ready?" and you can hear it's Verbal/Soze's voice.
I’m so happy you all watched this!!!!!
Wow! Can't believe you're reacting to this one!
I've seen in countless times, and it never gets old.
Even knowing the twist ending doesn't matter, because the performances are all so good!
Can't wait to watch along with you!
I clicked right away when I saw you guys post this reaction. This was a smart, great criminal caper, and I see you've already read the comments, Verbal was Kaiser, so awesome! So going back to the end of the comedy "Scary Movie", they did a spoof on the end of Usual Suspects.
P.S. I recommend "Blown Away" with Jeff Bridges & Tommy Lee Jones, its action packed and great suspence also (not exactly a criminal caper but I think just as tense and exciting)
McManus's (Stephen Baldwin) speaking the line given to read in the Police lineup is IMO the greatest single dramatic interpretation of a script ever spoken on film. The director had to tell Spacey to tone down his natural creepiness or it would ruin the surprise ending. The title, The Usual Suspects is a shout out to a line used twice by Captain Renault in Casablanca.
Great movie. "Mr Kobayashi" played by the late, great Pete Postelwaite. Check out his tour de force alongside Daniel Day Lewis and Emma Thompson in the 1993 film In The Name Of The Father.. Entertaining as always guys!!
On my GOAT list.
I love this movie!
Enjoy y'all!
Kevin Pollak played Philip Green, the casino magnate who fronted for the mob in Casino, which was released the same year this movie was.
I cannot believe you're watching one of my TOP 5 fav movies of ALL TIME 😲
Just a side bar I love you two so much. Whenever I’m down I put on an Asia and Bj movie and imma laugh. Yall react to these movie just like I did the first time and it makes me feel ok.
Also shoutout to your grumpy old men review that shits hilarious.
There have been some theories online that the man in the car that picked up Verbal was Soze, the one they called Kobayashi in the narrative, and Verbal was an assassin working for him. Up to you to decide.
I love it when you guys watch movies that have a big twist when you have absolutely no knowledge of the movie you're watching or the fact that even a twist exists. That makes a twist so much better when you don't know something's coming and this is pretty cool
Hockney robbed the truck in queens. Kobayashi revealed that. and he went to sleep in the holding tank. There was Money in the van but Soze wasnt worried about that as much as he wanted the guy who could identify him dead
The 1990's had some great movies. GOODFELLAS, PULP FICTION, JURASSIC PARK, SCHINDLER'S LIST, SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, GOOD WILL HUNTING, FIGHT CLUB, THE MATRIX, FARGO... I could go on and on. But I already have.
I can’t believe y’all haven’t done this one yet. This is my all time favorite
About time you guys get a good movie sent your way!!!!
This was my favorite movie for a long long time! Thanks for the review. The ending is so solid and will always play.
In my top 3 ever !! Great reaction guys 👌
I’ll never forget how my mind was blown at the end of this movie, many years ago 🤯
Oh no! Y'all didn’t get the ending. That's like one of the best plot twists in any movie ever, and y'all didn't really get it 😔 Well at least you all enjoyed it. This is one of my all-time favorite movies ❤😊 Thanks for reviewing it.
Fun movie, isn't it? That reveal at the end is so cool!
So glad you took my suggestion
Say, you notice at the beginning, when all the guys are staring at Gabriel Byrne, and Kevin Spacey is standing by the subway entrance? Note how he holds his cigarette.
If you watch it twice, it all makes sense the second time. Perfect!
Do you think this title refers back to the film Casablanca, where Prefect Reynaud "rounds up the usual suspects" several times thruout the movie?
Yes it does.
My mom's maiden name was KOVAC (FROM KOVACHE) Hungarian.❤❤❤❤
I fricken love this movie 😃
one of my all time favorite movies.
Its in my top 20 for sure!!!!
If you've seen "Trading Places", you've seen Giancarlo Esposito. It's very quick, if you blink you miss him.
I first saw him in Maximum Overdrive.
