If I were technologically up to the task, I would splice the part you're talking about into one of those old Bud commercials where a bunch of guys say Waaassssssuuuup? or Wasaaaaaaabbbbiii? But, have their screaming faces instead... could be good!
OMFG...I forgot how funny this was...laughed my ass off by watching this scene... Liam Neeson didnt lie when he said that Darkman was much fun for him... I mean come on! He has the time of his life, screaming and shouting and we are enjoying it xD *still rolls on the floor*
This scene is cathartic for those of us who have been ripped off as kids/teens by those crooked carnival freaks. Always bending the 'rules' to ensure you don't get the best prize, despite clearly winning based off the vague rules written on their stall.
I don't know, personally I wouldn't really trust someone who is mentally unstable but I also wouldn't trust a worker who looks like they don't care about their job, just saying anything to get you to leave. Like in some fast food restaurants where workers just wanna get their day over with, saying anything to get you to leave. However, since the girlfriend didn't correct him on whether he did pass the line, I'd say liam's character was telling the truth.
2:05 To quote ERod, the Blockbuster Buster: "No?! Whaddya mean *NO* woman?? He just tossed that guy like he was a salad! *Take the f#*&ing elephant* doesn't sound that demanding, considering what he could potentially do to you!"
Sam Raimi's unique staging, cutting, panning and zooming was apparent in the EVIL DEAD and later in everything he directed. It was the perfect style for a comic book movie and it is what made the original SPIDERMAN such a great film.
I might be the only one that does not like the Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies. I love Sam Raimi, The Evil Dead Trilogy, Darkman and a lot of his other stuff, but not any of his Spider-Man films.
@@atwunz Is it hard for you to comprehend that I have higher standards in movies? The Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy I thought was the worst superhero franchise of all time. Deal with it.
I love how the carnie is giving off a total under-reaction to everything. And it only makes Peyton overreact even MORE. "...no way." "Why don't you just uh.....get lost, pal" lmfao
Yeah. The carnie is one of the most interesting performances by a bit character ive seen. Every other movie would have had him acting more obviously obnoxious. Its more like hes anoyed than anything.
One of the things I love most about this movie is that nobody in the editing room thought that last repetition of "A freak!" was overkill. You wonder how long the announcer is gonna sit there calling out that phrase. I like to imagine him continuing until one of the other carnies walks over and smacks him in the head to get him unstuck.
'What is it about the dark? What secret does it hold?' Not many people could deliver a line like that without it sounding cheesy. Neeson nails it. Great movie!
This is the prequel to "Taken." What we don't know was that the guy running the game booth arranged for Liam Neeson's daughter to be kidnapped as revenge for his stolen elephant.
This scene gave me the biggest sense of dread of anything in this film. Once it starts with all the bright light and colours and their light-hearted banter you are immediately on edge about how it's all going to go wrong. And the way it does is amazing!
This was Raimi's first superhero film. He was testing his feet in the water to see if it was the right fit for him, and it was. Lots of the camerawork, editing and tropes in this film would later be seen in the Spiderman films he directed.
For the US cable TV version they remove "take the f*cking elephant" and replaced it with "take the fuzzy elephant". Our friends and I would look at each other and say "take the fuzzy elephant!" often. Heh.
"but i was behind the line, I was..haha..standing right here with my girlfriend.....*stern look*...NOW, the pink elephant....IF you please" jesus, I don't know what it is about Liam Neeson. But he just bleeds and sweats intimidation. Like it comes natural. Can't believe I(and so many people)had to see Taken to realize that....
Rami is a fu@3in' genius. The directing is top notch. The sound the ball makes when it's whizzing through the air is phenomenal. Seriously, this is some of the best editing, directing, sound design of all time. It's hilarious as well.
There's this really cute moment where, even before Peyton loses it and snaps, Julie is clearly concerned about Peyton's mental state despite him hitting all three bottles.
You do realize that its almost impossible to actually win this game right? The bottles are weighted or something where they don't fall over even if hit by the baseball. So Peyton is putting some real force into this - partly because his adrenal gland is all whacked up. Which is also a big part of his unstoppable rage moments. So yes, it is an indication that something is up with him.
Mikael Jansson I think he also said in an interview its his favorite role he has ever done..because how much freedom he had in his character and all the screaming he got to do

I love when the camera pans between them as they scream -- one in pain, one in rage, and one in shock.

That is an awesome idea rofl...
Classic raimi craziness
“Pain, Rage and Terror”.....Amy favorite parts of Darkman. 😊
MrFlipperInvader792 can’t wait to see that same craziness in Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness!
This is the most Sam Raimi scene of all time. A true masterpiece.
OMFG...I forgot how funny this was...laughed my ass off by watching this scene...
Liam Neeson didnt lie when he said that Darkman was much fun for him...
I mean come on! He has the time of his life, screaming and shouting and we are enjoying it xD
*still rolls on the floor*
***** Yeah, he said that even with the long make-up chair sessions he still remembers how much fun it was doing this.

as a carnie i am so offended
What I love about this scene is that they leave the question whether or not Liam was behind the line or not unanswered
i think he steped forwerd on the last throw as his emoctions were raised when he said freak
He definitely crossed A line.
No, he said he was behind it, so there you go.
@@Embrachu The only line he crossed was the metaphorical line of excitement and anger.
I don't know, personally I wouldn't really trust someone who is mentally unstable but I also wouldn't trust a worker who looks like they don't care about their job, just saying anything to get you to leave.

Showing the 3 different types of screams is actually art.

Love the sequence beginning at 1:46, you don't see stuff like this in movies anymore~ Love Sam Raimi's style~..
You're goddamn right.
It's straight out of evil dead
The three consecutive screams are the best! lol
Its one of the worstscenes in flm history
from 1:46 is actual footage of Liam Neeson when he sees a Black guy!
2:15 "Payton! Wait! You still got my elephant!!"
Hahaha
Because he crying like a little girl 🙋♀️
This scene alone should have won an Oscar.
Anyone here after James Rolfe's review of the Darkman game? lol
Yeah, this got recommended and I had to check it out
James deserved that elephant.
I'd be lying if I said 'no'.
Yes lol

Still one of the best movie scenes ever.
I laughed so hard at this scene in 1996 and I'm laughing so hard right now in 2019. Truly amazing progress.
We share the same sense of humor, I guess. This scene is on-of-a-kind.
Moral of the story: Never stand in the way between a man and his pink elephant.
???😂🤣
2:19 she runs after him
I WANT THE ELEPHANT THOUGH
Matt, why
Rami is a fu@3in' genius. The directing is top notch. The sound the ball makes when it's whizzing through the air is phenomenal. Seriously, this is some of the best editing, directing, sound design of all time. It's hilarious as well.
It's Sam Raimi all the way. His unique style of filmmaking is what makes the movie memorable.
Neeson: The pink elephant, if you please.
Ultra-apathetic carny: pfft....no way.
Neeson: RAGE!!!
Elephant quickly.
"He's a FREAK, ladies and gentlemen! He's a FREAK!"
TAKE THE FUCKING ELEPHANT!!!
This is the best video to show someone with absolutely no context
I just love the way Raimi is able to use B movie style shooting to make good films. Tarantino too.
Never go to a carnival with Liam
Robert Bogan never go to a carnival without him is more like it!!!
Unless he force you to take the 🤬 elephant 😆😂🤣

Liam Neeson getting unnecessarily pressed over a stuffed pink elephant will never not be hilarious.
Yet the elephant was Taken 😂😂😂😂
Underrated part of the scene is the carnie dude running the stand. He says his lines so nonchalantly, I laugh every time
It sticks out dont it. Who talks like that? Lol
You're right. Great casting. An example of how attention to detail can add so much to a scene.
Not so underrated that someone made that observation, many years ago.
Thanks nerd. This is on my watch list now.
It's on Amazon video
A man of culture too, I see.
Good to hear. Darkman needs more love.
His skit at the end was hilarious
I bought the bluray after I watched the AVGN video
Love that the people around just carried on like they didn’t notice a screaming guy throw someone through a wall.
Two Eliminators.
I love how his expression changes from rage to remorse after realising what he had done.
Liam Neesons best movie performance
Mikael Jansson I think he also said in an interview its his favorite role he has ever done..because how much freedom he had in his character and all the screaming he got to do
Watching Liam Neeson running away crazily with a pink elephant is something I never thought I'd see.

Hello AVGN fans!!! 👋
Exactly how I envision a comic book come to life.

The raw emotion was so awesome. Great movie
For the record, he WAS behind the line.
Love this scene and also "they took my hands!"
Thank you for enlightening me, AVGN.
This is one of the first movies I can remember seeing. I must have been 5 when I watched it.
Pain, Rage, Terror! My favorite scene of the entire movie!!
I saw this movie when it first came out and never saw it again, but I’ve never forgotten this scene. Classic
That was literally the stupidest and funniest thing I have ever seen!
lolz
Sam Raimi's movies in a nut shell.
Even Spiderman did this especially 3
First the acid-tripfest from Disney's Dumbo, now this...Pink Elephants aren't associated with anything that's not trauma-inducing anymore...
TAKE THE FUCKING ELEPHANT
Oh man, seriously, thanks Angry Video Game Nerd!
This is much more pleasant than most of my dates.
IT MATTERS!
Those three screams are awesome.
@ 1:53 the Army of Darkness theme kicks in for a second
1:56 His scream of pain made me laughing so hard like crazy everytime I watched this! 🤣🤣🤣
This is perfect out of context clip of this film.
I love how he runs off with it xD
This scene scared the living daylights out of me, When I first watch this movie. Way back in the summer of 1998, I was 3 years old at that time😱
The way the guy says "no way" always makes me laugh for some reason.
This scene without context is completely inexplicable
I was sent by Rich and Jay.
I wasn't disappointed.
I laugh every time I see this scene.
i pissed my self laughing so much am mopping up the piss on the floor after watching this
One of my most favourite scenes
You can tell Rami directed this . Love it
He broke his fingers lioe kit kat bars
HAHAHHAHA...
Gud One
It's pretty cool how his face looks a bit powdery. Obviously this is because he's using a disguise, but it's a good detail that they put in
He's gonna take ya back to the Elephant.
Carnival’s declined for the fear of the Pink Elephant scenario all through 1992 😂
