One of the fun things is the incorporation of each director's styles in their segments: Tarantino's fondness for the Trunk Shot, Michael Bay's low-angle telephoto ("shit just got real"), etc. The guy they got for Kubrick is a VERY good match for Kubrick at his most famous in the 70s. Compare the photo on his wikipedia page.
Ominous cuts for Kubrick, swelling music for Spielberg (yeah they all got music, but Spielberg gets orchestral), profile shots and the violin shriek for Hitchcock... References everywhere
One of the most underrated line from Hitchcock. "Fish puppet and Muppets to stir the fear up, I squeeze screams out of chocolate syrup". I love this line not because it highlight the obvious chocolate syrup to simulate blood in the famous Psycho shower scene. No, its that Hitchcock is saying, Steven needs expensive puppets/animatronics (particularly in Jaws) to scare his audience when Hitchcock can do it with a cheap bottle of syrup.
The Kubrick line about "do another take and get it right 127 times" is a reference to the infamous scene from the shining when Jack Nicholson walks a crying Shelly Duvall backwards up the stairs, saying "Wendy, darling, I'm not gonna kill you..." Krubrick for some reason wanted a "more realistic" performance from Shelly Duvall so he get re-doing the scene over and over 127 times. By that point, Duvall was literally exhausted and Nicholson, taking pity on her, refused to do it again no matter what Kubrick wanted.
Yeah, Kubrik was purposely breaking Duvall pyschologically to evoke a more extreme performance. Bad, bad action. Good, good scenes. I do hope he paid for the therapy.
If I remember correctly, Kubrick's "The Shining" almost had Stephen King decide to never have another of his books done as a movie. Considering that Kubrick also forbade people from talking to Shelly Duvall while they were filming, he was a sadistic 🤬 that didn't care about what he was doing to the actors
For me, Tarantino took this one, the way he broke down Hitchcock and Spielberg while even taking a shot at Michael Bay, who wasn't even in the battle yet, was perfect rap battle form. Of course it makes sense that the self proclaimed "king of dialogue" wins a rap battle.
Probably my favourite ERB, and I think it’s because it made me appreciate more of the edits they do for the background. For example, my favourite is In Hitchcock’s bit at 6:02 I don’t know why, but watching two more Alfreds waddle in, suddenly turn their heads to the camera and yell _“Come on!”_ before proceeding to waddle again and disappear behind the main Alfred... I don’t know why, but I find that more hilarious than I probably should compared to every other background edit in this.
Usually when a character is hated, they tend to lose badly, but the fact that Michael Bay comes, manage to make "money" rhyme with itself half a dozen time, and go out leaving me feeling like he won was impressive.
At first I also thought the mooning in Spielberg's part was a little out of left field, but it's got to be a nudge to the Amblin company logo that features the full moon with the kid and E.T. on the bike flying across.
It might interest you to know that this is NOT the only death battle that does this gimmick of adding more relevant people throughout the song~ Look up Stalin vs Rasputin ;)
The personal life mostly comes in the comedy rap battle "Richard Pryor vs George Carlin", something in the vein of this battle too. If haven't reacted already, check that out. My favorite part was the gesture of Spielberg acknowledging that "War of the World" was more of a Michael Bay stuff (and it was).
It's been awhile since I have seen you do an ERB. I had almost given up on seeing you do another one. Please do the rest of them. I'll check your playlist to see if there are any I have missed. My suggestion for your next one is Robocop vs Terminator, but I will watch any ERB you choose to react to.
Spielberg "inherited" all the pre production material Kubrick had assembled in preparation for A.I., and the movie came out around two years after Kubrick's death. Not sure Stanley would have liked the result. The best thing about that movie, I my opinion, was the subtle reference to Brian Aldiss and the way he wrote stories by dragging out the story to it's absolute conclusion. The source material (by Brian Aldiss) if but a short story, but he usually had to make every novel into an epic tale telling everything to the end, sometimes spanning centuries and millennia just to tie everything off. You never had to wonder "But what happened then?" after finishing an Aldiss book. :D
Adolf Hilter vs Darth Vader ERB part 1-3 rap battle videos is worth checking out. All 3 ERBs videos have some killer, savage lines! Other awesome ERBs vids to react to are: Jeff Bezos vs Mansa Musa. Ragnar Lodbrok vs Richard The Lionheart. Donald Trump vs Joe Biden. Hillary Clinton vs Donald Trump. Ash Ketchum vs Charles Darwin. Jacques Cousteau vs Steve Irwin. Gordan Ramsey vs Julia Childs. Robocop vs Terminator. Wonder Woman vs Stevie Wonder.
The 127 times is a take towards The Shining. Where he tortured Shelly Duvall, to take 127 rehearsals, and its the only movie that got a world record for most takes. Stanley Kubrick actually tormented Shelly Duvall. He berated her a lot. To think that his last movie, was Eyes Wide Shut with Tom Crusie and Nicole Kidman. Which was an orgy infested story.
@@mattnorton5787 Nah it's Shelly and from what Shelly's daughter has written about the whole rumor around Kubrick and her mother she mentioned (And even in the videos they have of behind the scenes) all of those were just Rumors that ended up not being true.
Kubrick's "127 times" is in referencs to that *exact* amount of takes he forced the main actors of The Shinning do for just *one scene* . So much so that they were all, basically, traumatised by that movie's whole production
If I was an actor in Hollywood, I think Kubrick would've been one of the worst if not THE worst director to work under. Dude would rather work his actors to death than compromise even the slightest detail of his vision.
Tbh, the Kendrick vs Drake rap battle went so hard this month that I was wondering if you guys would react to it ahahah. I don't usually care for rap battles, but this one was an historic moment.
The first guy never wins these cypher-style battles. Which is kind of odd for me in this one, because I think Michael Bay won, but his whole thing was "It's about the money, y'all." If that is true... then, as a director, Spielberg is the won winning overall even if he didn't have the best lines.
I love how you caught all the Michael Bay digs in the first four, because some of them were pretty sneaky. I would argue that Kevin Smith is the king of dialogue, but he wasn't in this.
Michael Bay's films make money because they're a theme park roller coaster ride... they're FUN. They're Kings Island on a screen. We love to go to movies to ESCAPE... we read BOOKS to get high-brow stuff. Sometimes films.. but they're not serving steak in movie theatres, they're selling popcorn. If you want art go see a play... if you wanna get wowed go see a Michael Bay film.
Babe Ruth vs Lance Armstrong is the most brutal/best episode of all, do it at some point (no rush, save/savor the best). Suggestions: go back to the start & do the vader vs hitler episodes 1-3; gandalf vs dumbeldore, dr seus vs shakespear, steve jobs vs bill gates, adam vs eve, mozart vs skillex, rasputin vs stalin, isak newton vs bill nye, artists vs tmnt, east vs west, jim henson vs stan lee, Tolkien vs martin, trump vs clinton, shessh, ok, that didn't narrow it down much, did it?
I actually believe that Kubrick trying to use AI as a dig against Spielberg was a pretty big misstep. Because most of the stuff, (especially the ending) Was all Kubrick’s idea he was the one who wrote the script.
Michael Bay won that hands down. He just took himself least seriously. He didn't try to say anything about being a better director. He simply was real about it. I'm making muddafukkin money 🤑
As bad as people say Michael Bay is, at least he’s not Uwe Böll. Not only is he infamous for exceedingly terrible live action adaptations of video games (Alone In The Dark and Bloodrayne are two examples), but he’s also an extremely shitty person.
When it comes to the five shown, I still think that , despite Bay's helicopter showmanship and multiple explosions, Hitchcock took it because he just bitchslapped Steven and showed him what a director with a small budget and a TV crew could do ( PSYCHO ). As for my favorite of the five, it's a toss up between Hitchcock and Kubrick, just because they both did astoundingly intricate and unsettling films that are NOT just popcorn dopamine hits. CLOCKWORK ORANGE was so unsettling that Britain banned it for decades. I still think this rap battle needs a part two, with Peter Jackson, Guillermo del Toro, John Carpenter, and Paul Verhoeven, then James Whale rising from the grave to slap them all down.
I don’t know… Some would argue that for battle rap that you have to put your opponents down, not just big yourself up… In that sense his verse did nothing… kinda like his movies, lots of action, big spectacle, little substance lol. Still fun though anyway.
Reason why michael bay won was the fact HE GEAVE NO FUCKS about whos the best and is enjoying his life, making money and reminding them they cant do what he can (explosives) Tarinto had the best flow espeically when Kubicks wheels pauses his flow
Michael Bay won in my mind, too. Which just like you two, I'm not proud of. The lines (and his ridiculous entrance) were just too funny My favorite of these five as a director is Spielberg. It was cool to learn Bethany also loves Jurassic Park! The original is my favorite movie of all time
For me, Michael Bay did win this one. He has the post position and he took advantage of it. Best entrance, Kubrick, the first time I saw that big wheel I was like, "Holy Shit!" So many reactors don't catch it until maybe the second pass, but I instantaneously realized what was to come. As far as favorite director goes, I love steven and quintin but I have to give it to Hitchcock. His body of work is legendary. Steven's got Hollywood by the balls and Quintin will forever be remembered for how edgy his films are, but Hitchcock, I remember the first time my grandmother played me Rear Window, I was already a fan of Jimmy Stewart, but the suspense in that film alone beats the whole Jurassic Park franchise for me. Not to mention out of everyone on the list he was the only one that had to make the transition from Silent Films to Talkies, then to Color. :P Talk about a career. The man has my utmost respect.
Clockwork orange ran continuously in (a) Stockholm cinema theatre for 30 years. Every day. That says something about Kubrik. But his rap was to short here…
First time checking your ERB reviews. Yea, Michael Bay did take this battle. But, I was disappointed. Two directors who could have been in this wasn't....... Clint Eastwood and Ron Howard!!! 🤣 Anyways, I'll checkout the other ERB reviews and catch you guys later!! 🫡 PS: My favorite ERB was Cleopatra vs Marylin Monroe!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Steven Spielberg idolized Alfred Hitchcock; devolving into childish & the personal/intense REALLY suits that one...these guys do AMAZING research "In 1965 Steven Spielberg ended up on the set of 'Torn Curtain', Alfred Hitchcock's last project with Paul Newman and Julie Andrews in the lead role. “ The space was full of hundreds of extras, but the technical staff saw the intruder almost immediately and asked him to leave ”, Vanity Fair explains.
However, the young filmmaker did not give up. Ten years later he tried again, using the same method. After the success of 'Jaws' he thought he had a better chance, but Spielberg was again sent away by the master himself. Hitchcock was clear irritated by the young man who hung around on his set unwantedly and demanded that his crew immediately put him outside, reports The Independent. An embarrassed Hitchcock After that second failure, Spielberg decided to change his tactics. He asked actor Bruce Dern, who had already played twice for Hitchcock, for one meeting with his idol. Dern described the anecdote in his memoirs: “ I said [to Hitchcock], "You are his idol. He just wants five minutes sit with you and talk to you. ’ ”
But the director of 'Psycho' immediately refused. He said to Dern: “ Isn't that the boy who has the movie about that fish made? I could never sit and talk to him. When I look at him I feel like one prostitute.”"
Chief Engineer John "Ray" Arnold. Gets eaten by a velociraptor. I think fewer people remember what Jules Winnfield is called. Mainly because Vincent Vega is alliterated and thus easier to remember. Sure. Some will remember his first name, but the whole thing? Also... Nick Fury. Or Elijah "Mr Glass" Price. Definitely not Jules. Just saying.
Being the biggest Stanley Kubrick fan I know of, I forgive you. :D Kubrick was very reclusive and not good with personal publicity, so it's not strange for you to not even know what he looked like. There was even a successful (for a while) conman that claimed to be Kubrick even though he looked nothing like him, grifting along in life taking advantage of people who wanted to bask in the glory of Stanley Kubrick. It's worth a watch, I think, even if you're not a huge Kubrick fan. John Malkovich plays the main role in Colour Me Kubrick: A True... ish Story (2005).
The problem with Michael Bay's whole argument about making money is that he is the 5th highest earning director, but Steven Spielberg is #1 and it is not even close, so by his own argument Spielberg is better than him.
Not familiar with Kubrick films?! A Clockwork Orange The Shining 2001 Space Odyssey Full Metal Jacket Spartacus Dr. Strangelove As well as some of the lesser rated movies like Spartacus A.I. Lolita Eyes Wide Shut and more.... Genious is a powerful word and there really is no reason to use it unless you're talking 'bout the Kubrick.
In terms of bars, its a toss up between Hitchcock and Tarantino. A close 2nd is Michael Bay. In terms of director and producing, Steilberg...too much of a influence of my childhood. A close 2nd Tarantino.
@@SymbioticSpider9729 what? I literally swear I checked the whole Playlist of these before I said that😭 (edit i just checked again so you're definitely wrong) (second edit i just searched it up and for some reason its just not in the playlist)
So, I'm not really a fan of most of the stuff ERB has, but I love Princess Rap Battles by Whitney Avalon. You've watched one, I know (Cinderella vs Belle, with Sarah Michelle Gellar), but she has a lot of other really good ones too (and a few less good ones, I admit, but still worth checking out)!
If we're talking about directing skills alone, then I'll let my unapologetically elitist self state the obvious : Kubrick destroys them all, the guy was absolute autistic psycho who prioritized filmmaking over real life, to the point of giving his actors mental breakdowns and/or existential crisises. Hitchcock was alright I guess, but I'm afraid Orson Welles' critic of his work still stands to this day. Spielberg, I was never a fan, a lucky opportunist in my eyes. A lucky opportunist with a lot of money. Tarantino had some great moments, but most of it was copypasted from Japanese cinema while Japanese directors actually did it better (All Hail the great Takashi Miike, who shot some of the best movies of his career with a low budget and a cheap hand camera bought at a supermarket, true talent doesn't always need millions of dollars to flourish). And Michael Bay is so over-the-top and ridiculous that it's impossible to have a serious non-ironic opinion on his films. I know some critics who still worship the first Bad Boys film like it was some misunderstood visual ode to Chaos. I still can't tell if they're trolling or not.
One of the fun things is the incorporation of each director's styles in their segments: Tarantino's fondness for the Trunk Shot, Michael Bay's low-angle telephoto ("shit just got real"), etc. The guy they got for Kubrick is a VERY good match for Kubrick at his most famous in the 70s.

Mine too.
"Haunt you like the last Indiana" with the Dial of Destiny hits even harder
Right?!?!
Had that movie actually been worth a damn that rap line would have aged horribly.
Yet, it seems even more apt.
Ive always loved these ones that drop in extra battlers... but this one is my all-time favorite for sure.
YES!!!! Thank you so much for this!!! I'm thrilled to finally see my favourite couple react to my favourite ERB
Our pleasure 😀🤗
At first I also thought the mooning in Spielberg's part was a little out of left field, but it's got to be a nudge to the Amblin company logo that features the full moon with the kid and E.T. on the bike flying across.
Makes sense. But glad we weren't only ones initially thinking it was out of left field 🤗
It also sets up the "Close Encounters of the Third/Turd Kind" joke.

Look up Stalin vs Rasputin ;)
Ah yes, Stalin vs Rasputin is my favorite death battle
My favorite death battle is ivan the terrible vs alexander the great.
Cool beans. We liked it in the Burger King vs Mcdonalds one too when Wendy showed up and crushed them 😂
It's season finales usually
Alexander the Great Vs Ivan the Terrible is the same.

Tarantino's last line is a reference (again) to Pulp Fiction... Sam Jackson's wallet had B.A.M.F. embossed on it.
The best thing about Michael Bay is he doesn’t throw any insults he just raps about how great he is
Money talks.
Definitely the best thing the Epic Rap guys ever made. Absolutely perfect in tone, homage and rhyming.
Spielbergs "full moon" line is a reference to one of his most iconic shots, from ET. That's why he moons Hitchcock.
I was thinking the Amblin logo.

Ash vs Darwin is one of their most brutal ones
Agreed 💯 - Hope you guys at Definitely Not Definitive react to this battle real soon.

Tarantino won. "I'm the king of dialogue." Yes he is. And that beats suspense, emotion, skill and even explosions.

This one is definitely in my Top 10s. It‘s just so good and self-aware.

True Romance is also my favorite movie. Never met anyone that has said that before. Neat!

Dern described the anecdote in his memoirs: “ I said [to Hitchcock], "You are his idol. He just wants five minutes sit with you and talk to you. ’ ”
But the director of 'Psycho' immediately refused. He said to Dern: “ Isn't that the boy who has the movie about that fish made? I could never sit and talk to him. When I look at him I feel like one prostitute.”"
I think i read in another reaction that michael bay said that he didn't remember filming or being in this episode.
Chief Engineer John "Ray" Arnold. Gets eaten by a velociraptor.
I think fewer people remember what Jules Winnfield is called. Mainly because Vincent Vega is alliterated and thus easier to remember. Sure. Some will remember his first name, but the whole thing?
Also... Nick Fury. Or Elijah "Mr Glass" Price.
Definitely not Jules.
Just saying.
reupload ?
Being the biggest Stanley Kubrick fan I know of, I forgive you. :D
Kubrick was very reclusive and not good with personal publicity, so it's not strange for you to not even know what he looked like. There was even a successful (for a while) conman that claimed to be Kubrick even though he looked nothing like him, grifting along in life taking advantage of people who wanted to bask in the glory of Stanley Kubrick.
It's worth a watch, I think, even if you're not a huge Kubrick fan. John Malkovich plays the main role in Colour Me Kubrick: A True... ish Story (2005).
Heeheeheehaw
The problem with Michael Bay's whole argument about making money is that he is the 5th highest earning director, but Steven Spielberg is #1 and it is not even close, so by his own argument Spielberg is better than him.
oh, they are all evil, but the critics calling Bay evil was about the type of movies
John Williams wins. XD
Not familiar with Kubrick films?!
A Clockwork Orange
The Shining
2001 Space Odyssey
Full Metal Jacket
Spartacus
Dr. Strangelove
As well as some of the lesser rated movies like
Spartacus
A.I.
Lolita
Eyes Wide Shut
and more....
Genious is a powerful word and there really is no reason to use it unless you're talking 'bout the Kubrick.
Fun fact tim burton was gonna be in this battle but got scrapped.
In terms of bars, its a toss up between Hitchcock and Tarantino. A close 2nd is Michael Bay.
In terms of director and producing, Steilberg...too much of a influence of my childhood. A close 2nd Tarantino.
React to Cleopatra vs Marilyn Monroe
They did already
@@SymbioticSpider9729 what? I literally swear I checked the whole Playlist of these before I said that😭 (edit i just checked again so you're definitely wrong) (second edit i just searched it up and for some reason its just not in the playlist)
@melodylynn6266 It's on their other channel, they've done it
So, I'm not really a fan of most of the stuff ERB has, but I love Princess Rap Battles by Whitney Avalon. You've watched one, I know (Cinderella vs Belle, with Sarah Michelle Gellar), but she has a lot of other really good ones too (and a few less good ones, I admit, but still worth checking out)!
If we're talking about directing skills alone, then I'll let my unapologetically elitist self state the obvious : Kubrick destroys them all, the guy was absolute autistic psycho who prioritized filmmaking over real life, to the point of giving his actors mental breakdowns and/or existential crisises. Hitchcock was alright I guess, but I'm afraid Orson Welles' critic of his work still stands to this day. Spielberg, I was never a fan, a lucky opportunist in my eyes. A lucky opportunist with a lot of money. Tarantino had some great moments, but most of it was copypasted from Japanese cinema while Japanese directors actually did it better (All Hail the great Takashi Miike, who shot some of the best movies of his career with a low budget and a cheap hand camera bought at a supermarket, true talent doesn't always need millions of dollars to flourish). And Michael Bay is so over-the-top and ridiculous that it's impossible to have a serious non-ironic opinion on his films. I know some critics who still worship the first Bad Boys film like it was some misunderstood visual ode to Chaos. I still can't tell if they're trolling or not.
