    "Villainy wears many masks, none so dangerous as the mask of virtue."
    Fun Fact: Johnny Depp adopted Goldeneye, the horse that played Gunpowder, Ichabod Crane's horse in this film, when he heard it was going to be put down.
    Action Actor Fact: Johnny Depp did all of his own stunts for the final scene where he is dragged by the horse. He had bullet-proof clothing underneath his wardrobe.
    Historical Fact: Washington Irving claimed that Ichabod Crane and Katrina Van Tassel were real people. Ichabod Crane was based on Colonel Ichabod Bennet Crane, who was born in 1787 and fought in the War Of 1812. Washington Irving and Colonel Ichabod Crane had met in 1814 at Fort Pike located on Lake Ontario in Sackets Harbor, New York.

    Something about Johnny Depp that makes him even more amazing to me is that he doesn’t take himself at all seriously as an actor. He’s physically beautiful but he’s more than willing to act the fool. I’ve heard it said that Johnny Depp is a character actor trapped in a leading man’s body and I think that is so true. I read that when Robin Williams was asked if there was any actor that he wanted to work with but hadn’t yet, he immediately named Johnny Depp. Wouldn’t that have been wonderful??! He said that Depp was absolutely fearless as far as comedy was concerned…high praise from a master. High praise, indeed!!!

    Great reaction! I was born, raised, and still currently live in Sleepy Hollow, NY. If you ever find yourself in NYC just drive north 20-30 min and you can visit. You can go to the cemetery where you’ll find the graves of the real characters in the story. We used to take school field trips to the sites in the story and my favorite was always Katrina Van Tassel’s estate that’s still intact and kept in mint condition. Anyway, glad yall love my towns folklore 👌🏼

    The cast in this is absolutely amazing:
    Ichabod Crane - Johnny Depp (Captain Jack Sparrow, Gellert Grindelwald, Willy Wonka, Edward Scissorhands, etc.)
    Katrina Anne Van Tassel - Christina Ricci (Wednesday Addams, Kat Harvey from Casper, Trixie in Speed Racer, etc.)
    Lady Mary Van Tassel - Miranda Richardson (Rita Skeeter, Queen Elizabeth I in Blackadder, Mrs. Tweedy from Chicken Run, etc.)
    Baltus Van Tassel - Michael Gambon (2nd Dumbledore, The Storyteller from Jim Henson's The Storyteller: Greek Myths, etc.)
    Brom Van Brunt - Casper Van Dien (Johnny Rico from Starship Troopers)
    Rev. Steenwyck - Jeffrey Jones (Charles Deetz from Beetlejuice, Inspector Lestrade from Without a Clue, Dean Rooney from Ferris Bueller's Day Off)
    The Burgomaster - Christopher Lee (Count Dracula, Count Dooku/Darth Tyranus, Saruman the White, Scaramanga from The Man with the Golden Gun, etc.)
    Magistrate Samuel Philipse - Richard Griffiths (Vernon Dursley, Henry Crabbe from Pie in the Sky, King George II in Pirates of the Caribbean, etc.)
    Dr. Thomas Lancaster - Ian McDiarmid (Emperor Sheev Palpatine/Darth Sidious)
    Notary James Hardenbrook - Michael Gough (Alfred Pennyworth in Tim Burton's Batman, The Celestial Toymaker from Doctor Who, etc.)
    The Headless Horseman/The Hessian - Christopher Walken (Max Zorin from A View to a Kill, Max Shreck from Batman Returns, Captain Koons from Pulp Fiction, etc.)
    Ray Park (Darth Maul) portrays the Headless Horseman's body.
    So you have Darth Maul, Darth Sidious, and Count Dooku/Darth Tyranus all in the same movie, which never happens in the actual Star Wars films.
    Also Albus Dumbledore, Gellert Grindelwald, Vernon Dursley, and Rita Skeeter from the Harry Potter films.

    FANTASTIC REACTION, YALL!!!
    Some trivia time…
    The scene’s where Ichabod is being dragged behind the carriage, the Headless Horseman was… great action sequences. They were all filmed on a strip of a set, so basically, it’s a set of a part of a road. It was not very long. All of the trees were decorated and set. What you saw was the genius of Tim Burton and the Cinematographer. He used so many inventive ways to use camera angles to create the entire sequence. You would never know you are seeing the same strip of a set, using the coach, horses, everything. It looks like a real dirt road that went on for miles! Also, when Johnny Depp was being dragged, he was running a fever and was sick but he knew they needed to get the shots so he pushed on ahead.
    Johnny always keeps one thing from each movie he does. With this film, he kept the Iron Madden that Lisa Marie was killed in.
    The complete town was built for this film. AMAZING Art/Set decorations! After the filming, the crew has to put the whole area back to the way it was before they started building the sets. The people in the area asked them to keep the Windmill, but legally they couldn’t.
    A LOT of the imagery you saw from Burton’s direction came from Disney’s “Ichabod and Mr. Toad”. It’s a shortened cartoon that tells the same tale. The shot where Brom Bones was acting as if he was the Headless Horseman to scare Ichabod is straight from Disney. The Horseman holding a flaming, carved pumpkin and throwing it at Ichabod’s head? From Disney.
    The idea of throwing a flaming pumpkin and hitting his prey is from Washington Irving. Whoever gets hit goes into a coma and dies. If they don’t die, they awaken with a “super” power.
    A friend of mine wrote a trilogy of books called, “Rise Headless and Ride: The Jason Crane Series”. It is set in today with Jason, who is the Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great Grandson of Ichabod Crane. His parents are dead, so he lives with his Granny. She moves them Sleepy Hollow where Jason has to go to school with the bully football player who is the Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great Grandson of Brom Bones. My friend moved to Sleepy Hollow to get everything correct, the names of the streets, where building are, where the bridge is, etc. He was given special permission to have access to the Historical Society that over sees all of Washington Irving’s life. He wrote me into book Three and HE DIDN’T KILL ME OFF!! My character got to live on!
    He has now moved to Salem. He is taking the same characters and is writing of the Witch Trials.
    The books are on Audible…

      Little Known Fact about the Headless Horseman, it's actuall MUCH older than the War For Independence... True, the Story of Icabad Crane and the Headless Horseman came from there and then, but the mythology of the Headless Horseman dates back even farther to old Celtics myths. Irish and Danish mythology has the "Dullahan” also known then as “Gan Ceann". It's HOW the Headless Horseman from Sleepy Hollow rose back up to Search for his head. Fun Facts.

    The Headless horse man in both this movie & the original novel of sleepy hollow is based on an actual Celtic mythology of an entity in Ireland known by a couple of names, eg The Dullahan , Crom Dubh/ Black Tom, who is the Original Headless HorseMan & is a part of the Unseelie Court( Court of Dark Fairies). In the original stories / Myths, the only way to keep the Dullahan away is to have a piece of pure gold on you, regardless of whatever form it is, ie a hair pin, pendant, cross, pentacle, coin etc. as long as you have a piece of pure gold on your person & in some telling, where the piece of gold can be seen on you, the Dullahan is so terrified at the sights gold it keeps him away completely.

    The headless horseman was played by Ray Park (Darth Maul from Star Wars The Phantom Menace), who wore a green screen mask over his head so that it could be digitally removed in post-production. The collar of the costume was also CG to help mask the transition between the practical costume and digital head removal.
    All of the severed heads were practical props as well. They spent a massive part of the budget to make sure each severed head matched its actor in great detail. I don't remember which cast member it was, but one of them was allowed to keep their head, which they then used to traumatize their wife at home, by placing it in the fridge.

    When it came out people decried it a little because of the brightness of the blood. "They could have made it look more natural" was the reasoning. While I don't know if that was confirmed by Tim Burton, but years later people have began to speculate that this was a homage to the old Hammer Horror movies. They were the first prominent horror movies in colour and they made the blood extra bright for contrast and effect.
    Of course it was intentional to begin with and made for a great effect. Sometimes people overlook things like that at first.

    On the topic of mysterious beheadings (yikes) I truly hope some studio makes a film about Nahanni Valley, also known as The Valley of The Headless Men. It's a natural park area in Canada, a huge valley inside a canyon 130 km long (80 miles), surrounded by cliffs 1 km high (3300 feet). There is only one entrance at the south, and there are barely any areas free of trees or hills where helicopters could land, none for airplanes.
    Over the centuries there have been mysterious events. The valley was the home of the Naha people (hence the name), a native tribe known for raiding and pillaging their neighbors, who lived around the canyon. One day, for unknown reasons, the entire Naha all disappeared just like that. Locals tell stories of dangerous spirits that inhabitate that region.
    Over the past 200 years, several expeditions have disappeared in the valley, appeared brutally murdered, or even appeared decapitated -the heads were never found- like explorer brothers Willie McLeod and Frank McLeod in 1908, who were looking for gold mines, disappeared, and their headless bodies were later found in the valley, their belongings still with them but their heads never to be found.
    In 1946 geologists Frank Henderson and John Patterson explored the valley and split up, agreeing to meet back at the entrance a few weeks later. Henderson showed up but Patterson never appeared again. Henderson came back to the valley with a search party, wanting to rescue Patterson wherever he was. The first night the party camped inside Nahanni, a group of First Nations natives approached them in the middle of the night, and told them that "everyone had to leave immediately", as the natives had seen "white figures" roaming the valley, looking for them.

    @richardzinns5676 2 месяца назад

    If you still don't know the original story (which you clearly didn't at the time of this reaction since you weren't expecting the headless horseman), I strongly recommend reading it - it's not very long, and while the movie diverges from it greatly, comparing the original will show you why certain scenes were in the movie at all. I also recommend the Disney adaptation, only about 45 minutes long, which has lots of Disney touches but is extremely faithful to the basic plot, and presents the story very effectively. The idea of the headless horseman is clearly inspired by the Irish folklore about the Dullahan, and the original story's idea that the horseman cannot cross a bridge is taken from the Robert Burns poem Tam O'Shanter.

    Danny Elfman is definitely one of my favorite composers but I think he's best work is a non Tim Burton movie called Black Beauty from 1994. The music is so beautiful and moving. I cry every time I watch that film.

  • @allies7184
    @allies7184 Месяц назад

    They departed big time from the original story, which is just as scary. Ichabod Crane was a teacher, not a sheriff, or criminologist. There also were no witches, or orphans in the story. I loved the story made by Tim Burton, but the only thing 'Sleepyhollow' about it was the Hessian soldier who lost his head.

    The Headless Horseman was played by Christopher Walken for when he had his head. Ray Park played the Horseman for most of the film, he also played Darth Maul in Phantom Menace, Toad in X-men, and Snake Eyes in GI Joe Retaliation.

    You may not have recognized Christopher Walken as the Headless Horseman. It was him throughout the movie. They just digitally removed his head. Having been born in 1977 and having grown up in the 70's through 90's, I've seen LOTS of Christopher Walken's movies. You two should check him out and see if there are some future reaction videos you can do with some of his movies.

    • @myroselle6987
      @myroselle6987 10 месяцев назад +4

      Walker is wonderful but I believe they did use body doubles as well. A riding stunt man, Ray Park, was actually in the saddle when the headless horseman’s head was off. My understanding is that Walken didn’t like horses much and was afraid of them. He said they didn’t like him..lol! A reaction to The Deer Hunter would be interesting. I have trouble watching that movie but I might be able to watch a reaction. The Russian Roulette scenes are horrific to me…

    You can visit Sleepy Hollow by Metro North train from Manhattan. The cemetery, church, and bridge (no longer covered). Sleepy Hollow is a Dutch settlement in near Spuyten Duyvill Bridge ("spitting Devil" in Dutch).
    Actor Christopher Lee, who plays the magistrate assigning Ichabod Crane to the village of Sleepy Hollow, is seated on the magistrate's bench, which appears to have "bat wings" emerging from the sides. It is Tim Burton's nod to the actor's famous dracula roles from the 1960's.
    New York was originally named New Amsterdam when the Dutch settled there in the 1600's. It was renamed for the then Duke of York when the British took over the land during the Revolutionary War.

    Am I the only one who feels bad for the rider? Like, yeah, he liked to kill, but it wasnt like he just wandered around killing willy-nilly, he killed active combatants on the battlefield. That is a perfectly reasonable thing to do, despite his motives. The written story is all over the place, unlike the movie, but I dont recall from either one that the rider would be mentioned together with any crime before his death. Especially not in the movie, because in the movie the thing that actually kills him is his pity for the two girls, despite the fact that he was at the very moment hunted by the vengeful American soldiers. He doesnt even kill the girl in revenge.
    So first he just fights as a mercenary, then he is hunted, then he spares two kids and dies as a result of that, and then he is damned and forced to do things he never done before (like kill unarmed civilians) for whoever steals his skull. Kinda unfair if you ask me. There are tons of people whose only crime is that they wanted to kill enemy soldiers, yet none is usually mentioned as deserving such fate.

    34:43 He could see just fine. Ray Park was wearing a blue ski mask the whole time so they could edit his head out of the film. The most use of CGI in the film was simply to fill in the collar to his suit wherever it got obscured by the head.

    The Horseman (when headless) was played by actor/stuntman/martial artist Ray Park who played "Darth Maul" in Star Wars Episode 1 and also played "The Toad" in the first X-Men movie.

    Definitely a great Halloween vibe movie and it’s pretty funny too. The church scene is amazing, I think it’s iconic, all of the kills are great. Also the way Christopher Lee says “it is a town called sleepy hollow have you heard of it?” Gives me chills 😂
