Ethan hawke is good but Denzel outshined him here don’t ever try to say what u just wrote. Denzel played his part better than he was supposed to. We already knew what we were getting from Ethan hawke. Denzel was evil to the core in this.
The moment Lonzo realized that Jake wasn't going to work out, at Roger's house, he immediately called Smiley from the car, "Make sure the tub is clean."
" We in the office baby" followed by Dre Day playing and the Monte Carlo coming to life and the hydraulics being engaged is a top 10 most badass movie scenes
Fun fact. Terry Crews got his break in this movie. He was doing whatever he could to get infront of thec camera. He signed up to be an extra and they liked his presence enough to ask him to speak in a part.Then he landed other movies off being so nice and open to do whatever they needed.
He didn’t sign up to be an extra. He was working out at a gym, and the director saw him and just asked him to be in the scene. He agreed to it because Denzel was in it and it was just cool to be in any movie. He never signed up though.
It’s a good theory and she’s got her ears open, but the Beretta 92FS honestly wasn’t an especially unusual gun, and the one Smiley threatens Jake with (the Inox variant) is subtly distinct from Jake’s which is itself a standard issue for the LAPD at the time (and a little older). Alonzo’s guns are Smith & Wessons & aren’t actually nickel plated; the shiny parts are stainless steel.
I’ve seen this movie dozens of times, but never realized the eses having a beretta like Jake’s meant they probably “took care” of another cop before him. Great catch, Asia.
Alonzo was just such a well written charismatic character while also being extremely flawed as a cop/human being.. while EH absolutely crushed it as Jake in this movie, Denzel had wayyy more opportunities to chew on the majority of their scenes together due to the dialogue n diff in the two characters, one being loud/brash w a lot of bravado and the other being the quiet strong n more reserved type(until he’s laying face up in a bathtub w a shotgun in his face 😂 from that point on Jake was the wolf 🐺 such a classic movie.
It's harder to play that role in my honest opinion. Denzel could let loose and give the big performance, which was spectacular, but it doesn't work unless you have the someone toned down to play off. This was just a phenomenal movie all around and everyone gave career defining performances.
@@tinocontreras5105 His name is Raymond Cruz. He was on The Closer and then its spinoff Major Crimes for over 10 years (while he was doing those guest spots on BB and BCS).
@@tinocontreras5105 Raymond Cruz is the name you're looking for. It's funny, after playing Tuco in Breaking Bad, he said he had to cool it playing crazy characters because it took a lot out of him as a person.
Alonzo planned to set Jake up from before they met. He intended to give Jake the laced weed then he paid off Smiley to kill him because if you remember after he killed Roger you can hear him in the car on the phone telling someone to make sure the bathtub is clean…
Also, they confirmed on the DVD commentary that Alonzo used the Hillside gang SPECIFICALLY because of the incident. He thought he was being funny or poetic in his own psycho way.
@woahblackbettybamalam David Mack robbed me of $2,000 but let me go. He's rich and out of prison. Are you in L.A.? If you were, you'de know the stories.
The car Denzel drives is a 79 Monte Carlo. Its so clean and ive always wanted one since i saw this movie. I thought it was a 86/87 but just found out it was 79. Shes a beaut.
Anyone who knows anything about street life in LA knows how much we Latinos love them Monte Carlos. That's straight thug life right there with it decked out.
@@barev2056 correct, my dad bought a ‘79 Regal in the early ‘80s. Grills was different, but both were large. I think the Regal we owned had a 4.9 liter engine.
"It's not so fun when the rabbit's got a gun, is it?!" "You gotta put your own work in around here." Alonzo got what was coming to him. So many great quotes in this movie. Denzel and Ethan's best performances in my opinion. They both star together again in the remake of the great westen "The Magnificent Seven" which is a great movie.
Family… Absolutely NO ONE was better suited to the role of Alonzo than Denzel Washington & he deservedly won the Oscar for it 👏👏👏. The chemistry between Denzel & Ethan Hawke was insane & completely off the charts 🤪🤪🤪
One of the greatest of all time. "King kong ain't got sh*t on me!!" Is iconic bad guy tier. Everyone's performance from actors to sound and visual editing, writing and directing.... impeccable, and one that definitely drives a lot of deep-seated thinking and feelings. 2 other intense LA films that were directed by Training Day's writer David Ayer, are Harsh Times and End of Watch. If you guys want to stay in that pocket, I would highly recommend them for the polls.
Antoine Fuqua deserves much more respect and recognition as a movie director. You should definitely check out "Tears of the Sun" (2003), "Shooter" (2007), "Olympus Has Fallen" (2013) and "Southpaw" (2015). Especially "Southpaw" is one of the most underrated and brilliant movies of the 2010´es.
@@theplacematsthey’re definitely pretending. That’s why I stopped watching their reactions because they’re too old to have not seen some of the movies they reacted to.
Fun fact Asia and BJ, Ethan Hawke is the real father of Robin from Stranger Things. Uma Thurman from Kill Bill 1 and 2 (The Bride)is Robin’s real life mother.
@@courtneyhuntington5262 I was hoping someone would comment this! She looks so much like her mom that people forget about her talented dad. They have such a great relationship. I've seen interviews with them together.
I'm new, an had just seen your reactions to 2 other movies for the first time. I'd never heard of both of you. And you two are GREAT! First thing that caught my eye was Asia's wonderful laugh, beautiful smile, and glamorous eye's. B.J. you are legends on your own. Great personality, fantastic camera appearance and both of you have unique voices. Nice to see you had the chance to see one of many best performances Denzel Washington has made. To be honest, you've GOT to see all his movies, if you haven't already.
It's also a good way to keep from ejecting a hot shell into your right wrist. Notice it's the left one he angles. That's because the casing ejects on the right so at that angle it'll eject down instead of into his right wrist
Asia is the smartest woman I've *ever* seen to watch this movie. She picked up on so much that other female reactors never catch! And BJ is the first reactor I've ever seen reference Birdman ("what happened to that boy") at the pigeons flying scene. Yall tapped tf in, I see 😂 what hood yall from?! lmao love you guys!
BJ asking Asia “which Denzel” Asia’s mother fancied & wanted to marry was hilarious 😆😆😆. BJ… I think if you asked her, your mother-in-law would say “ALL OF THEM BABY!!!” ✋😍❤️
I cannot begin to tell you how amazing this movie was on the big screen. I saw this movie with my brother on opening weekend to a completely packed theatre that was completely silent and shocked for every turn Alonzo Harris took! I still remember the gasps in the theatre. It was amazing. Denzel was absolutely incredible in this film. For me, Russell Crowe deserved the Oscar for "The Beautiful Mind". However, I was completely excited, Denzel, the person & actor won the Oscar! He should've won Best Oscar for "Malcolm X", however, the Academey knew they could not ignore him anymore (for Leading Actor; he won Supporting Actor for "Glory"). Of course, for Denzel to be this amazing antagonist, you need an equally great protagonist. Ethan Hawke was also amazing, probably his best performance to date! Thank you for the great reaction. It brought back incredible memories. Lots of love from Canada! Love your channel! :) Asia, exactly, "This is a lot going on in the same day. When do we eat lunch?" OMG, I felt the same way! :)
44:46 FYI Asia when you reacted to the car doors opening behind Jake’s car those were the 3 Wise Men from the restaurant going to talk to Jake. The director had deleted the scene from the movie.
Legit one of the greatest movies ever made and Denzel gave one of the greatest acting performances of all time. The King Kong scene still gives me chills every time I see it
Ethan Hawke had a perfect support role for Denzel's psychotic performance. His act of confusion sold it. Another great ones from Hawke are the "Sunrise, Sunset and Midnight" trilogy spanning three decades.
Excellent reaction! You guys spotted everyone: - Macy Gray - Dr. Dre - Snoop Dogg - Eva Mendes - Raymond Cruz (Tuco from Breaking Bad) You also figured out that the news reporter at the end literally quoted Denzel from earlier. "He was survived by his wife and infant son / daughter". One small note - the gang was "Hillside Trece" (Spanish for 13).
The man Alonzo murdered for his money was played by Scott Glen. Scott Glen was the main character in the original “Man on Fire” that was remade starring Denzel.
At the end when the Russians shoot Alonzo(Denzel), you see him struggling to breathe. The director said that that was to parallel when Denzel shot Roger with the shotgun earlier and Roger couldn't breathe.
Another movie where Denzel played a bad guy was in "American Gangsta" If you're surprised by Denzel playing this kind of character, remember the line from Mae West..."When I'm good, I'm very very good, but when I'm bad, I'm better" 😂
This is how he earned am Oscar! This was Denzel first time playing a dirty character, they wanted to cast him in as a different type of character and he definitely did that thang!
I just realized that before Denzel brings Ethan Hawke to the Mexican's house to be killed he calls them and you can hear him say "make sure the tub is clean"
You also have to check out "Flight" with Denzel. Directed by Robert Zemeckis (Back to the Future, Forrest Gump). He plays an airline pilot battling alcoholism.
Ethan Hawke is in this movie called boyhood that was literally filmed over the span of like 12 years. You watch this little boy throughout his entire childhood.
If you wanna see a very similar movie that also takes place in one night and where the usual good guy plays the bad guy, you should watch Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx in Collateral from 2004. One of my favorite movies along with Training Day and very similar :)
Denzel won an Oscar for playing this character, because of the same reason why it surprised you to and everybody back in the day when the movie came out. I was pleasantly surprised myself when I watched this movie.
Great choice!! This was fantastic from day one back in theaters. Denzel patterned his character after Officer Raphael Perez, who was part of the Rampart investigative unit, who were allegedly involved in the murder of The Notorious BIG, among other things. In fact, if you look at license plates on Alonzo’s Monte Carlo (not the Buick Regal, which was related, as were the Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme and Pontiac Gran Prix), the license plate reads “ORP-967”, or “Officer Raphael Perez - 1967”. There are a bunch of behind-the-scenes details that went on with this movie. Great choice, Asia and BJ!! You’ve done it again!!
If I were a trainee in that situation, the red flags would have been being hung up while I was talking, him telling me to shut up in the restaurant, the last straw, him pointing a gun at head.
You just watched one of Denzel’s best performances. Nobody was used to seeing him act like this. When it released one of the classic movie lines was born. “King Kong ain’t got s*** on me!!!” 🤣
Denzel's the GOAT. Also, this was Terry Crews' first movie. He was uncredited, but played the guy in the hood that was clapping with all the pigeons flying around at 21:40.
This movie is AMAZING and one of Denzel’s greatest roles but the best scene in the entire movie has to be Jake with Smiley & company. The build up of the scene, the realization that Alonzo set him up & the karma of Smileys cousin returning the favor and saving Jake’s life. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING PLOTS & CAMERA SHOTS THROUGHOUT THAT ENTIRE SCENE!!
@50:45 Roger wasn't a cop, so he couldn't have been the 5th guy; Alonzo had other rookies under his wing, but those who helped him seemed like experienced cops, so I don't think it was them.
This movie is one of the greatest movies ever made. Ethan Hawke is a great actor and Denzel fully deserved the Oscar he won for the role he played here. I once heard Training Day be described as being so epic that it stands in the same light as movies like Titanic or Dances With Wolves. Great reaction. You two are my favorite of the couples reactors out there. Keep em coming. ❤❤❤❤
I love Asia'a reactions in this one. She's like a rabbit in headlights the whole time, like what in the world is happening. Too cute. 😂 And that line from BJ: He's diaboilical, he's surgical. 😎

This movie will always be one of Denzel's best acting performances. He was so good
I always like Man on Fire
Man on Fire but Denzel is good in everything he does. Like picking the best Lamborghini
@BoondockRoberts Out of Time was pretty bad but he was still solid
This movie might be denzel's greatest but it's also Ethan's underrated😮
@@WillsonT011 true
Overlooked because of Denzel but I was really impressed by Ethan Hawke's performance in this movie.
Ethan is so good. I loved him in Dead Poets Society. Robin got him his first agent.
@@anastasiabeaverhausen516 Absolutely!
Ethan Hawke Underrated actor.
I was shocked when he didnt win that year. Lost to some guy I never heard of.
Ethan hawke is good but Denzel outshined him here don’t ever try to say what u just wrote. Denzel played his part better than he was supposed to. We already knew what we were getting from Ethan hawke. Denzel was evil to the core in this.
Asia saying, "I need to see his badge," is legitimately one of my favorite reactor moments I've ever seen. 😂
@subtracktion she was spot on but did know Jake was in a corruption service
BJ: He said Hillside esse's or something.
Asia: That's what she said.
Me: That's not how the joke usually goes but whatever the F ever.
The moment Lonzo realized that Jake wasn't going to work out, at Roger's house, he immediately called Smiley from the car, "Make sure the tub is clean."
A lot of people have seen this movie multiple times and dont realize that
You just put me on to this. 😮
Bro what an observation.
I didn’t catch it until my second time.
I wonder what his story would have been regarding how Jake simply vanished from the face of the earth.
KING KONG AIN'T GOT SHIT ON ME!!!

Terry Crews is a national treasure.
Seriously, Asia coming up with the theory that Hector had another cops beretta that had been dropped off makes that scene even scarier! Bravo theory
that was a crazy theory but I feel like it'd be black if it was
@@GOBLUE989lonzo had nickel twins
It’s a good theory and she’s got her ears open, but the Beretta 92FS honestly wasn’t an especially unusual gun, and the one Smiley threatens Jake with (the Inox variant) is subtly distinct from Jake’s which is itself a standard issue for the LAPD at the time (and a little older).

I’ve seen this movie dozens of times, but never realized the eses having a beretta like Jake’s meant they probably “took care” of another cop before him. Great catch, Asia.
@FranciscoJuanillo, Why wouldn't it simply be Smiley's own gun? After all, he's the leader of a gang.
Denzel won an Oscar for his performance..and Ethan Hawk.. (Jake) also was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor!
I've always said Hawk deserved it more. When your supporting actor is on par with main, come on now. That bathtube scene....
Alonzo was just such a well written charismatic character while also being extremely flawed as a cop/human being.. while EH absolutely crushed it as Jake in this movie, Denzel had wayyy more opportunities to chew on the majority of their scenes together due to the dialogue n diff in the two characters, one being loud/brash w a lot of bravado and the other being the quiet strong n more reserved type(until he’s laying face up in a bathtub w a shotgun in his face 😂 from that point on Jake was the wolf 🐺 such a classic movie.
I’d say Russell Crowe deserved it more for A Beautiful Mind, but if you have to lose to someone it may as well be Denzel.
You should both watch American Gangster next, Denzel is good in that too
the creepy thing about that movie is its based on real things. freaked me out to learn that.
oh yeah! I forgot he did play another villain. That's a whole different type though. Mob figures like that are sorta in the grey area.
Blue Magic.
That’s what I just commented!!!! It’s such a great movie!!!! ❤🎉😂
@@elcorado83 i belive there is a whole mgm+ show about bumpy johnson.
That scene where they are walking up the steps to the house in Hillside with Cypress Hill playing was such an iconic scene.
Ethan Deserves just as much credit as Denzel IMO.
It's harder to play that role in my honest opinion. Denzel could let loose and give the big performance, which was spectacular, but it doesn't work unless you have the someone toned down to play off. This was just a phenomenal movie all around and everyone gave career defining performances.
Tuco moved to Albuquerque after this so that he could help his uncle Hector run the family business.
I forget his name but Tuco has made himself a nice career being a side character. He's a really good actor and knows his part
Such a good family guy...I bet he lived a long life and definitely wasn't gunned down next to a lowrider like Alonso. 😏

Another dope movie with Denzel and Ethan is Magnificent 7
The man Alonzo murdered for his money was played by Scott Glen.
Scott Glen was the main character in the original “Man on Fire” that was remade starring Denzel.
Original Man on Fire is a good movie. But the remake with Denzel is top tier gold. One of my favorites of all time.
This might be considered Denzel washington's greatest movie❤ but it's also could be Ethan Hawk's most underrated movie😮
Mo Better Blues is a Spike Lee joint. Denzel plays a jazzman.
At the end when the Russians shoot Alonzo(Denzel), you see him struggling to breathe. The director said that that was to parallel when Denzel shot Roger with the shotgun earlier and Roger couldn't breathe.
I literally said, "No way" the moment I saw the thumbnail! Such a good movie!
American gangster is also a great watch! Don't see many reacting to it but it's quality in my opinion 👌
Another movie where Denzel played a bad guy was in "American Gangsta"
If you're surprised by Denzel playing this kind of character, remember the line from Mae West..."When I'm good, I'm very very good, but when I'm bad, I'm better" 😂
Sometimes I forget how many awesome movies that Denzil has made.

This is how he earned am Oscar! This was Denzel first time playing a dirty character, they wanted to cast him in as a different type of character and he definitely did that thang!
This is one of the favorites!! Another great, old Denzel movie to watch... He Got Game
This is one of my favorite movies. So awesome to watch it with you guys.
I just realized that before Denzel brings Ethan Hawke to the Mexican's house to be killed he calls them and you can hear him say "make sure the tub is clean"
"Damn! There's a lot going on in one day. When do we eat lunch?"
Oh, Asia. ❤
You also have to check out "Flight" with Denzel. Directed by Robert Zemeckis (Back to the Future, Forrest Gump). He plays an airline pilot battling alcoholism.
One of the best movies of the early 00’s. I was 17 when this came out and watched it over 10 times. It has comedy and some intense moments.
Ethan Hawke is in this movie called boyhood that was literally filmed over the span of like 12 years. You watch this little boy throughout his entire childhood.
Another excellent Denzel movie is American Gangster. He got Frank Lucas to a T. IMO Denzel should have received another Oscar for that role.
If you wanna see a very similar movie that also takes place in one night and where the usual good guy plays the bad guy, you should watch Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx in Collateral from 2004. One of my favorite movies along with Training Day and very similar :)
@@NecKClippA do enjoy them they have the same connection
Harsh Times with Christian Bale is another great one 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Collateral would be great for them to react to
Denzel won an Oscar for playing this character, because of the same reason why it surprised you to and everybody back in the day when the movie came out. I was pleasantly surprised myself when I watched this movie.
Asia.... No MO' BETTER BLUES!?... OH no... Y'all gon have to remedy that... Lol...
A Spike Lee Joint ... You won't be disappointed....
One of The Best Movies Ever Made! ✊😏😊👊 Denzel Got An Oscar For This Movie 👌😆👍🍁
6:14 is actually a Monte Carlo
'85 , older brother had the same one minus the hydraulics and daytons😂
"he checked his watch dam he still got 30 mins to go" 😂😂😂 BJ is hilarious fr
Perfect timing! I needed something to watch. I love your reactions so much. Asia and BJ you're the Best !! 🥰❤️💯
Great choice!! This was fantastic from day one back in theaters. Denzel patterned his character after Officer Raphael Perez, who was part of the Rampart investigative unit, who were allegedly involved in the murder of The Notorious BIG, among other things. In fact, if you look at license plates on Alonzo’s Monte Carlo (not the Buick Regal, which was related, as were the Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme and Pontiac Gran Prix), the license plate reads “ORP-967”, or “Officer Raphael Perez - 1967”. There are a bunch of behind-the-scenes details that went on with this movie. Great choice, Asia and BJ!! You’ve done it again!!
Remember The Titans, cmon!! Great movie and he’s a coach.
I’ll add to the narrative.
Denzel completely steals the spotlight in this movie but Ethan Hawke was also FANTASTIC.
The tub scene. He’s SO good in it.
If I were a trainee in that situation, the red flags would have been being hung up while I was talking, him telling me to shut up in the restaurant, the last straw, him pointing a gun at head.
@youngtrainingdaywestphilly203 I don't they were expecting Denzel to be red flag there everywhere
@harvey4512 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩😂
You just watched one of Denzel’s best performances. Nobody was used to seeing him act like this. When it released one of the classic movie lines was born.
“King Kong ain’t got s*** on me!!!” 🤣
Denzel's the GOAT. Also, this was Terry Crews' first movie. He was uncredited, but played the guy in the hood that was clapping with all the pigeons flying around at 21:40.
This is such a good movie. So many great actors.
I find it hard to believe y'all haven't seen this movie 😂 that being said, I envy y'all for seeing it for the first time
This movie is AMAZING and one of Denzel’s greatest roles but the best scene in the entire movie has to be Jake with Smiley & company. The build up of the scene,
the realization that Alonzo set him up & the karma of Smileys cousin returning the favor and saving Jake’s life.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING PLOTS & CAMERA SHOTS THROUGHOUT THAT ENTIRE SCENE!!
Fun Fact: director said King Kong speech was an adlib. Denzel got done and said "hope you got that cus that's all I got!" AMAZING ✌🏻❤️🙏🏻
@50:45 Roger wasn't a cop, so he couldn't have been the 5th guy; Alonzo had other rookies under his wing, but those who helped him seemed like experienced cops, so I don't think it was them.

Reel talk! Exceptional movie! "There's a lot going on in one day. When do we eat lunch?" 😂😂 This should be a tag line for the movie.
This movie is one of the greatest movies ever made. Ethan Hawke is a great actor and Denzel fully deserved the Oscar he won for the role he played here. I once heard Training Day be described as being so epic that it stands in the same light as movies like Titanic or Dances With Wolves. Great reaction. You two are my favorite of the couples reactors out there. Keep em coming. ❤❤❤❤
I love Asia'a reactions in this one. She's like a rabbit in headlights the whole time, like what in the world is happening. Too cute. 😂
And that line from BJ: He's diaboilical, he's surgical. 😎
