Goodnight's whole deal is he thinks that because he did so much evil in the war, he's being hunted by something. That's what he meant when he told Billy he heard 'the voice'. He meant he heard whatever he thought was hunting him. It was all in his head, sadly. The poor man had severe PTSD.
My Dad grew up with westerns as his generation's event movies. This was the last movie he bought before he passed. Nice to get to see it again with someone as sweet as you.
I skipped this movie when it was in theaters but caught it on TV a couple years later and now whenever I run across it I always sit down and watch it. It's a great, fun movie.
No, you can’t just put bullets back in a gun after they’re fired. You can (and should) collect the shells, put new primers and gunpowder and bullets back in the shells, and then use the reloaded ammo.
@@jaybling6687 yes and no. you can reuse the lead if you find the ball, but you need to re-cast it. Lead ball deforms way to much to just be reused immediately.
The process of reusing bullets would require recovering the projectiles, melting them down, recasting them and reloading them into those freshly cleaned, primed and charged cases of the proper size mentioned above.

I may be mistaken but I believe the significance of "The Seven Samurai" is that it introduced the genre of a group of good but not perfect unsung heroes band together to fight against "bad guys" to defend the weak and oppressed, which has been an on-going theme ever since. The popularity of superhero movies today like "The Avengers" is a good example.
It's criminal that a living legend like Lee Byung Hun gets the semi-regular Hollywood call-up... for thankless extended cameos like this, some third-rate Terminator sequel or 3rd henchman in G.I Joe, etc. The guy is so, so, so much more than that.
Maybe he only choose to do those Hollywood films & has choosen not to do others. Not every actor wants to be Leonardo DiCrapio or Chris Pratt & have problems walking down the street or eating dinner with family & having to be rushed out from fans or stalkers. Some people are happy playing second fiddle without having to be famous or the cons that that brings. The movie I remember him best in was Red 2 with Bruce Willis. BTW did you know the ordeal he had to go through being famous in South Korea let alone international fame would do? Blackmailed extorted etc etc I could see why he might not want to be as famous as Bruce Willis or Chris Pratt.
Oh, absolutely Seven Samurai is one of the most remade, reworked films in the history of history. 13th Warrior, Battle Beyond the Stars, the Expendables, Three Amigos, heck even Galaxy Quest is a take on the Seven Samurai story.

The 1960 version was the first I ever saw. And just like with basically everything else: your first time will always be special to you. Goes for movies, music, books,...

Yes Cassie, please watch A Bug's Life! I think you'll have a much deeper appreciation for the story now that you've seen so many versions of it, and it's the perfect way to end 7's week.
Add The Magnificent Eleven. I haven't seen it, and a reviewer says it's terrible, but it's yet another version, based around a soccer team, with Robert Vaughn as the bandit leader.
You don't need to see any of these movies to appreciate a Bug's life. Sure it's base on the idea, but it seems more like it would be closer to The Three Amigos.

Cassie, In answer to your question.. no you can't just go collect bullets and put them back into a gun. Way back in the beginnings of our countries, when they used musket balls.. maybe, but "modern" ammo is a cartridge.. that cartridge has separate sections. The casing, which contains the Primer and the gun powder and then the bullet, which is the actual projectile. When the hammer (or firing pin) of the gun hits the Primer, it ignites the gun powder, which then causes the bullet to shoot. The casing either stays in the gun or is ejected out to one side. The bullet is the projectile and it is usually disfigured once shot. Bullets can be melted down and put into a fresh casing but you can't just pick them up and reuse them.
Of all the AMAZING actors in this cast, they killed off one of the best in the first ten minutes - Matt Bomer. I'd love to have seen more of him in this. He played the lead from the series White Collar back in the 2000's, you should check it out sometime. You'll love it!
The organ was the deer's liver. Among many Native American nations, the liver was among the most highly valued parts of an animal. It was common to offer the fresh liver of an animal as a peace offering, as you saw here.
With all due respect Clint, I'll vote for "Lonesome Dove " mini - series with Robert Duval and Tommy Lee Jones as Cassie's new fave western. You're welcome.
To answer your question, no you cannot re-use modern bullets like that. The shells can be refilled with powder and capped with another slug into a new bullet, but that's an assembly line process. Bullets have multiple parts, but there are three basic ones that go in different directions once fired. 01. The slug, which is the part that flies out and hits things. 02. The powder, which is what ignites and causes the explosion that sends the slug flying, it burns up on use. 03. The brass, which is the shell that holds the powder and the slug that sits on top of the powder. It sits in the gun until ejected for a fresh bullet.
You missed one movie. Actually, it was an anime mini-series called Samurai 7. It is one of my favorite mini-series that came out between the two Magnificent Seven movies.
Great reaction again as always Cassie. I love how emotionally charged you get with movies like this where not ALL the good guys survive. It just goes to show your character of empathy and justification for righteousness that you have. I also commend you on holding your tongue and not cussing when it’s so hard not too 😂 Look forward to the next reaction 😊

If you going to watch A Bug's Life because it is indeed a version of The Magnificent 7, then you also have to watch The 3 Amigos. Which is a parody of TM7.
Wait! Wait! Wait! There is one more movie left that you MUST add to the Magnificent Seven week: Three Amigos! (1986) It's sort of a comedy version of this motif. It's hilarious, it's got humor, action, and even a little romance, you and Carly will absolutely love it. It stars Chevy Chase, Steve Martin, and Martin Short, all in the the heyday of their careers.
Cassie, if you could ever find it in your heart to Watch 13 Assassins. That would be so awesome. It’s very similar to Seven Samurai. It’s got one of the most insane battle sequences ever filmed.
Yes! That movie was awesome! I’m trying to find the full-length version but can’t find it anywhere! They apparently give more backstory to the villain.
The original is better is almost every way. It has the better story and acting, the action is still epic but not so overdone as to pull you out of it. However, the ONE thing the remake does is crank that scumbag villain's evil up to 11. In the original he's a power-abusing degenerate. In the reamke he's a power-abusing degenerate psychotic.
I really did like this one. Granted, it was a celebration movie after getting my honorable discharge from the Army Sept 2016, so I was flying high that week.
This is by no means a bad movie, but I just don't think it measures up to the first two. I think they changed some key elements to appeal more to modern audiences, and that this cost it the timeless quality the other two have. The most obvious change was the villain. Instead of being a criminal that the law could not protect against, they made him a businessman the law actively protected. Yeah, he is despicable, but he is also ridiculous. For comparison, the plot here is almost identical to a Clint Eastwood western called Pale Rider; a big-time gold miner wants to force people off their land. The difference is that Pale Rider did it well. The villain was trying to crush the people's spirit and convince them to leave, but also keeping it low-key to avoid attracting unwanted attention. Here, everything is too over-the-top. Building an army, bring a gatling gun, using slave labor in his mine, attacking an entire town; even during the wild west, this guy would have been shut down by the authorities for all he did. But they wanted to make the opposition overwhelming to make the odds more extreme, and I think it is just too much to take very seriously. This change in the villain also ties into another change that I don't think is as good; the hero's motivation. In Seven Samurai and the first Magnificent Seven, the film's lead stepped in to help because he felt for the people. As Yul Brynner's Chris put it "I've been offered a lot for my work, but never everything." This line is in the remake as well, but that is not why Denzel's character took the job. For him, it was about personal vengeance. And I think that is because they didn't think modern audiences would really get the idea of accepting a contract and refusing to abandon it even when things look bad. This resulted in missing a key theme from the first two; the warriors envying the peaceful lives of the people they protect. Among the last lines in the first two was about how "Only the farmers won." Because the townspeople would find peace, but the warriors just had to move on to the next battle. Instead, this film ends with how "magnificent" the warriors were, completely missing that theme of being trapped in a life of violence that is viewed by others with misplaced glory. A great example of this is a comparison between the Robert Vaughn and Ethan Hawke character. I think Ethan Hawke actually did a better job with his performance; Robert Vaughn kind of over-acted in his night terrors scene. But the thing is, Robert Vaughn's trauma was brought on by the life of a gun for hire; he had made enemies and had to constantly be on the run from them. It was the very life that the villagers were glorifying that had ruined him. Ethan Hawke's character, on the other hand, had PTSD from fighting in the war. PTSD is a more topical problem to have, especially these days. But it lacks the same thematic impact to the story that was brought by Robert Vaughn's character. Finally, I think the humor is much more low brow. A perfect example of this is Chris Pratt's character compared to Steve McQueen's. In the first Magnificent Seven, Steve McQueen brought a lot of humor and charm to the role, but he was subtle about it. Take the "So far, so good" line. That was just one of many little stories or antecedents McQueen's character dropped, some being non-verbal like the scene where the woman was serving them their dinner, and the audience often had to pay attention to catch them all. When it was done, it moved on. Here, most of the jokes had to be set up and hammered home. The "So far, so good" line had to be constantly brought up in order to make sure people got it. It just felt dumbed down and forced to me. Again, this is a really good movie, and the cast is excellent. I just don't see it being a classic like the first two.
This dumbed down version of the MS adds nothing to the series and should have never been made. I suppose it has some appeal to those who lack an attention span. The Kurosawa film certainly is too much for fans of comic book movies.
11:44 No, that’s most likely New Mexico or possibly Colorado. Principal photography on the film lasted 92 days, from May 18 to August 18, 2015, in the north of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Other locations include St. Francisville; Zachary, Louisiana; Jackson, Louisiana: Ridgway, Colorado; and New Mexico. Filming in St. Francisville was completed between May 18 and May 29, 2015.
There was also a series 98-2000 staring Michael biehn, reese from original Terminator. I believe the pilot was a stand alone movie if i remember right it was pretty decent, first of the seven stories i ever saw.
Love everything you do and your sister.. I'm a professional truck driver, and nothing gives me a bigger kick. Then, to drive down to road and listen to your guys' responses.. Then whenever I get the , ime I pull over shutdown for the night and watch It.. It is a wonderful way to spend some time. This world needs a whole lot more people like you two.
sadly this was not filmed in Alberta, one that was is Clint Eastwood's 'Unforgiven" Academy award winner. Two more filmed in Alberta that won academy awards are " Legends of Fall" (Brad Pitt) and "Revenant" ( DiCaprio). Maybe you should make a series of these.
But make sure it's the ones from the 70s directed by Richard Lester. They're perfect. Particularly the second part, The Four Musketeers (the two films were filmed as one movie and divided).
Every single actor in this movie did a great job and all the 7 and Boge characters were done magnificently. I feel like the director gave Chris Pratt a hat and gun and said go be a cowboy. No script
For me seven samurai 10/10 og magnificent 7 8.5/10 the new one 6/10, I kinda disagree with the nostalgia point as only saw seven samurai 2 years ago but I get it lol
Love the idea of watching originals and remakes. In addition to Sabrina and 3:10 to Yuma, there’s also The Shop Around the Corner/The Good Old Summertime/You’ve Got Mail and Love Affair/An Affair to Remember/Love Affair, Here Comes Mr. Jordan/Heaven Can Wait. I won’t recommend West Side Story due to all the editing required for the music, but there’s also True Grit OG and remake!
I gotta tell you that I've watched other reactions movies, but your channel is the best because if the editing. Your editing is better then any other I've seen. His work.
There are actually a number of "Seven" movies though "The Magnificent Seven" is the most well known. The Magnificent Seven (1960) Return of the Seven (1966) Guns of the Magnificent Seven (1969) The Magnificent Seven Ride! (1972) The Magnificent Seven (2016)
@@avantegarde7797 Oh I can't disagree with this comment. The quality of successive movies IMHO greatly diminished. Even the class of actors IMHO declined though they were good actors in other roles. Some being established in the cowboy genre already (George Kennedy & Lee Van Cleef for instance).
I love Ethan Hawke in these old type roles. One of my favorite movies is The Newton Boys, Matthew McConaughey, Ethan Hawke, Vincent D'Onofrio, Skeet Ulrich, and Dwight Yokum. IMO, an underrated movie in the similar vein as O Brother Where Art Thou, like same mama, different daddies. Easily my favorite Ethan Hawke old timey role. I highly recommend The Newton Boys.
Fashionably violent but it is lazy to make Bogue so hateful so early. The great thing about the other films is that you understood where everyone was coming from and there was an ambivilence of sorts that played to their credit.
Luke Grimes (Teddy) is in the show Yellowstone, starring Kevin Costner. It's a show about a powerful Montana cattle ranch family dubbed the Montana mafia.
My dad loved the 1960 film. His love for westerns, me love westerns. If you haven't already watched it, GODLESS is a great western mini-series. It has some great performances too.
Killer Backstreet Boys allegory. I think I see the connection. It's like when they filmed the Everybody music video on the same set as the Christina Ricci Casper movie for some reason. Not sure what...anyways that was a thing for some reason. And Chris Pratt passed the cowboy test...now officially a movie star.🎶 Everybody...yeeeeeah? Rock your booody...🎶 🕺💃🕺💃🕺 is the point. Backstreet's back...alright?
I love doing compare/contrast with different versions of movies. You might want to do a couple of versions of A Star is Born. Or True Grit. And definitely check out the original 3:10 to Yuma.
He missed the windmill just by inches at 28:37. I was expecting that too to go up in smoke. Would have been epic to see. Well, at least he got the shed.
There's a movie that has a lot in common with this one, and with 3:10 To Yuma, and that one is Old Henry. It has Tim Blake Nelson as Old Henry, an old farmer with a teenage son who doesn't think much of his old dad. Old Henry McCarty. Don't google that name, he has his own Wiki page and all. He was a real person. I'm surprised the name didn't jog my memory when I watched the movie, he had quite the reputation, but I'm glad it didn't. When you figure out who he is, you'll understand the bad guy after he met Old Henry the first time, and then rode off politely with his two minions. "What's the matter boss, he's just an old farmer! Why don't we just ride back and kill him?" "Because his name is Henry McCarty. And I knew a man by that name once, back in Kansas. We need to hire four more guys."
This was the first movie I saw Chris in after parks and rec. he became a favorite of mine then so after this movie he proved he was well rounded, then his speech about God put him at my #1! Such a great movie
What’s great about The Seven Samurai/Magnificent Seven is it’s a story that can be told over and over again without losing any of its appeal. As long as some humans choose to take advantage of those who can’t protect themselves, this story will resonate in the human soul.
It was probably the liver of the deer that they were eating. It was considered a delicacy to eat the liver and it was often given to the hunter who made the kill or offered to honoured guests.
You can definitely recover bullets and cast the lead into new bullets. The hard part is that you need cases and primers to make them shoot. Cases are easy, you can pick them up after you shoot them. Primers are REALLY hard because it’s not really functional to reload them. Same goes for rimfire cases. Which the yellow lever actions would’ve been using.
Possible yes, but impractical. Recovering spent bullets in a field will be like finding a needle in a mile long stack of haystack. So while not improbable, it is a near impossible task.
@@dgrmn12345 I’d say yes and no, that also depends. The range we go to has dirt backstops, you can get 10-15 pounds of lead by digging through them, that being said, if they’re shot like in hunting or combat, you’re right, near impossible task.
Every time Vasquez called Faraday "güero" / "güerito" means he is calling him "blondie" as a sign of friendship. So when Faraday got shot, Vasquez got mad and started cursing in spanish (mexican slang) while shooting at the bad guy.
Bullets travel close to the speed of sound and are usually made of softer materials, so that they don't ruin things like rifling (the grooves inside of gun barrels). Most of the time when they hit something, they're going to at least deform. If it's a hollow point, it's going to mushroom. So, no, you usually can't recover them in a usable form. Even ones used for ballistics testing may not be viable for re-use. Back when most were made of regular lead, you could possibly gather what's left of a few and re-smelt it. But, chances are that fragments would not be recovered.
I actually made a dnd character based off Vincents character intro, lizardfolk barbarian, same story different actions lizardfolks can make javelins so that was mine instead of a tomahawk, had a great axe they could barely lift so that's why guy fell when i charged at him. Used bonus hungry jaws to finish guy on the ground and also recover hp. Good times.
With the right tools, you can melt down bullets and recast them, but they'd still need fresh powder and primers to go in an already fired round casing.
Goodnight has PTSD which is why he has trouble reacting when gunfire starts to fill the air, because he is shellshocked after what he experienced in the war. Another movie that has the same premise as these films is "The 13th Warrior" starring Antonio Banderas. If you really think about it, it is similar in basic plot to "7 Samurai". The only difference is, there are 6 more additional members in the group.
13:03 omg This lullaby reminds me of something! I can't think of what it is! OMG this is killing me. O I got it! It reminds me of the lullaby of Bill Nighy playing Davey Jones in Pirarates! The scene where he's at the Organ thinking of Callisto. But I guarantee you if you like this movie you might like The Hateful 8! This movie kind of reminds me of that movie except well I don't want to tell you because I don't want to give it away but I think you would love The Hateful 8! I love it when Carley watches movies w/ u!
Another "Magnificent Seven" movie you might like is "Battle Beyond the Stars." It's basically "the magnificent seven in space." It's actually pretty fun.
21:00 You can't reuse bullets, they get bent out of shape (usually) when they hit. BUT- you can take an old cartridge, replace the gunpowder and firing cap, then put new bullet on the end. Reloading ammunition this way saves mo ey, especially if you shoot a lot.
Cassie, when Chisolm almost got shot in the end, I think that's the closest I've ever seen you come to cussing. It's admirable to keep your reactions as clean as you can, but that was about as genuine a reaction as I've ever seen you make. Keep up the great work on the channel!
I think you would really like the western, Quigley Down Under. It's about a cowboy fighting an evil land baron in Australia in the 1870's. :-) Tom Selec plays Quigley.
Everyone gets excited about Denzel and Chris. I got excited about Vincent - one of the greatest character actors of our time.
I've never seen him in a bad role.
Amen
I liked the Training Day reunion between Denzel and Ethan with Fuqua at the helm.
He was EXCELLENT in this movie!
Vincent and Ethan are fantastic
Goodnight's whole deal is he thinks that because he did so much evil in the war, he's being hunted by something. That's what he meant when he told Billy he heard 'the voice'. He meant he heard whatever he thought was hunting him.
It was all in his head, sadly. The poor man had severe PTSD.

When the hammer (or firing pin) of the gun hits the Primer, it ignites the gun powder, which then causes the bullet to shoot. The casing either stays in the gun or is ejected out to one side. The bullet is the projectile and it is usually disfigured once shot. Bullets can be melted down and put into a fresh casing but you can't just pick them up and reuse them.
Of all the AMAZING actors in this cast, they killed off one of the best in the first ten minutes - Matt Bomer. I'd love to have seen more of him in this. He played the lead from the series White Collar back in the 2000's, you should check it out sometime. You'll love it!
He was also the BUG in MIB ( MEN IN BLACK ) 😊👍
The organ was the deer's liver. Among many Native American nations, the liver was among the most highly valued parts of an animal. It was common to offer the fresh liver of an animal as a peace offering, as you saw here.
I'd still like to see her review Broken Trail with Robert Duvall and Australia with Hugh Jackman Nicole Kidman.
Broken Trail is fantastic I think she would like it.
At this time in history, most didn’t make their own bullets melting the led down, but it was common with muskets.
I can’t stress enough how much you need to watch Silverado.
It’s going to be your favorite western.
Also please watch Three Amigos now.
With all due respect Clint, I'll vote for "Lonesome Dove " mini - series with Robert Duval and Tommy Lee Jones as Cassie's new fave western. You're welcome.
SILVERADO, absolutely, but Three Amigos never did it for me. I know, I'm in the minority here.
To answer your question, no you cannot re-use modern bullets like that. The shells can be refilled with powder and capped with another slug into a new bullet, but that's an assembly line process.
Bullets have multiple parts, but there are three basic ones that go in different directions once fired.
01. The slug, which is the part that flies out and hits things.
02. The powder, which is what ignites and causes the explosion that sends the slug flying, it burns up on use.
03. The brass, which is the shell that holds the powder and the slug that sits on top of the powder. It sits in the gun until ejected for a fresh bullet.
Still continuing my campaign to get y’all to watch Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure. Y’all will love it. Young Keanu. That is all.
Highly agree!!
I think she'd like young Keanu in Parenthood more.
@@richardb6260 Maybe but Bill & Ted are more fun, plus more Keanu and they come with a franchise.
You missed one movie. Actually, it was an anime mini-series called Samurai 7. It is one of my favorite mini-series that came out between the two Magnificent Seven movies.
Great reaction again as always Cassie. I love how emotionally charged you get with movies like this where not ALL the good guys survive. It just goes to show your character of empathy and justification for righteousness that you have.
I also commend you on holding your tongue and not cussing when it’s so hard not too 😂
Look forward to the next reaction 😊
There were 4 movies prior to this. The Guns of the Magnificent seven, and The magnificent seven ride, were numbers three and four.
Principal photography on the film lasted 92 days, from May 18 to August 18, 2015, in the north of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Other locations include St. Francisville; Zachary, Louisiana; Jackson, Louisiana: Ridgway, Colorado; and New Mexico. Filming in St.
If you going to watch A Bug's Life because it is indeed a version of The Magnificent 7, then you also have to watch The 3 Amigos. Which is a parody of TM7.
Please, please watch 3 Amigos (Cassie), it’s going to make you so happy.
If anyone is interested there's also an animated series from 2004 called samurai seven, where the bandits are giant robots.
Wait! Wait! Wait! There is one more movie left that you MUST add to the Magnificent Seven week: Three Amigos! (1986) It's sort of a comedy version of this motif. It's hilarious, it's got humor, action, and even a little romance, you and Carly will absolutely love it. It stars Chevy Chase, Steve Martin, and Martin Short, all in the the heyday of their careers.
Don't forget singing and dancing!
Please watch Three Amigos.
Also Silverado.
Wind River - Jeremy Renner and Elizabeth Olsen. Modern western. Includes a detailed scene of how to reload spent cartridges.
Also the best role for Jeremy Renner. Could double feature with Hell Or Highwater.
Yes, such a good movie
yes to more original and remake movies
Cassie, if you could ever find it in your heart to Watch 13 Assassins. That would be so awesome. It’s very similar to Seven Samurai. It’s got one of the most insane battle sequences ever filmed.
Yes! That movie was awesome! I’m trying to find the full-length version but can’t find it anywhere! They apparently give more backstory to the villain.
I enjoy samurai films so very much, and 13 ASSASSINS, is outstanding ~ good call.
Great rec.
The original is better is almost every way. It has the better story and acting, the action is still epic but not so overdone as to pull you out of it. However, the ONE thing the remake does is crank that scumbag villain's evil up to 11. In the original he's a power-abusing degenerate. In the reamke he's a power-abusing degenerate psychotic.
Yes yes yes, amazing film and a great suggestion sir!
You really should see “The 13th Warrior”. That will make you cheer and cry at once.
I really did like this one. Granted, it was a celebration movie after getting my honorable discharge from the Army Sept 2016, so I was flying high that week.
1. Denzel and my fellow neechi shared a fresh liver
2. Reshelling a casing was common before industrialization
22:07 This scene was filmed in a historic hotel outside of Baton Rouge. I worked there at the time.
This is by no means a bad movie, but I just don't think it measures up to the first two. I think they changed some key elements to appeal more to modern audiences, and that this cost it the timeless quality the other two have.
The most obvious change was the villain. Instead of being a criminal that the law could not protect against, they made him a businessman the law actively protected. Yeah, he is despicable, but he is also ridiculous. For comparison, the plot here is almost identical to a Clint Eastwood western called Pale Rider; a big-time gold miner wants to force people off their land. The difference is that Pale Rider did it well. The villain was trying to crush the people's spirit and convince them to leave, but also keeping it low-key to avoid attracting unwanted attention. Here, everything is too over-the-top. Building an army, bring a gatling gun, using slave labor in his mine, attacking an entire town; even during the wild west, this guy would have been shut down by the authorities for all he did. But they wanted to make the opposition overwhelming to make the odds more extreme, and I think it is just too much to take very seriously.
This change in the villain also ties into another change that I don't think is as good; the hero's motivation. In Seven Samurai and the first Magnificent Seven, the film's lead stepped in to help because he felt for the people. As Yul Brynner's Chris put it "I've been offered a lot for my work, but never everything." This line is in the remake as well, but that is not why Denzel's character took the job. For him, it was about personal vengeance. And I think that is because they didn't think modern audiences would really get the idea of accepting a contract and refusing to abandon it even when things look bad.
This resulted in missing a key theme from the first two; the warriors envying the peaceful lives of the people they protect. Among the last lines in the first two was about how "Only the farmers won." Because the townspeople would find peace, but the warriors just had to move on to the next battle. Instead, this film ends with how "magnificent" the warriors were, completely missing that theme of being trapped in a life of violence that is viewed by others with misplaced glory.
A great example of this is a comparison between the Robert Vaughn and Ethan Hawke character. I think Ethan Hawke actually did a better job with his performance; Robert Vaughn kind of over-acted in his night terrors scene. But the thing is, Robert Vaughn's trauma was brought on by the life of a gun for hire; he had made enemies and had to constantly be on the run from them. It was the very life that the villagers were glorifying that had ruined him. Ethan Hawke's character, on the other hand, had PTSD from fighting in the war. PTSD is a more topical problem to have, especially these days. But it lacks the same thematic impact to the story that was brought by Robert Vaughn's character.
Finally, I think the humor is much more low brow. A perfect example of this is Chris Pratt's character compared to Steve McQueen's. In the first Magnificent Seven, Steve McQueen brought a lot of humor and charm to the role, but he was subtle about it. Take the "So far, so good" line. That was just one of many little stories or antecedents McQueen's character dropped, some being non-verbal like the scene where the woman was serving them their dinner, and the audience often had to pay attention to catch them all. When it was done, it moved on. Here, most of the jokes had to be set up and hammered home. The "So far, so good" line had to be constantly brought up in order to make sure people got it. It just felt dumbed down and forced to me.
Again, this is a really good movie, and the cast is excellent. I just don't see it being a classic like the first two.
@@michaelbrennickit’s really not just say you don’t know anything about modern film and I’ll teach you all about it because you need to learn lmao
This dumbed down version of the MS adds nothing to the series and should have never been made. I suppose it has some appeal to those who lack an attention span. The Kurosawa film certainly is too much for fans of comic book movies.
11:44 No, that’s most likely New Mexico or possibly Colorado.
Principal photography on the film lasted 92 days, from May 18 to August 18, 2015, in the north of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Other locations include St. Francisville; Zachary, Louisiana; Jackson, Louisiana: Ridgway, Colorado; and New Mexico. Filming in St. Francisville was completed between May 18 and May 29, 2015.
There was also a series 98-2000 staring Michael biehn, reese from original Terminator. I believe the pilot was a stand alone movie if i remember right it was pretty decent, first of the seven stories i ever saw.
My favorite part is when she compares bullets to golf balls on a field, because I play golf myself. 😉
Love everything you do and your sister.. I'm a professional truck driver, and nothing gives me a bigger kick. Then, to drive down to road and listen to your guys' responses.. Then whenever I get the , ime I pull over shutdown for the night and watch It.. It is a wonderful way to spend some time. This world needs a whole lot more people like you two.
sadly this was not filmed in Alberta, one that was is Clint Eastwood's 'Unforgiven" Academy award winner. Two more filmed in Alberta that won academy awards are " Legends of Fall" (Brad Pitt) and "Revenant" ( DiCaprio). Maybe you should make a series of these.
She’s done Unforgiven and Legends.
It was the bucks liver, which is often traditionally bitten into while it is still raw. It's a hunter thing.
Cassie, along the lines of classics being remade, The Three Musketeer movies.
I’m so happy to see so many people recommending this.
But make sure it's the ones from the 70s directed by Richard Lester. They're perfect. Particularly the second part, The Four Musketeers (the two films were filmed as one movie and divided).
@@richardb6260 An excellent recommendation ! Great atmosphere, great action, and some of the funniest scenes ever put on film.
lee byung hun is such a cool actor,has done some great films in south korea.
Every single actor in this movie did a great job and all the 7 and Boge characters were done magnificently. I feel like the director gave Chris Pratt a hat and gun and said go be a cowboy. No script
For me seven samurai 10/10 og magnificent 7 8.5/10 the new one 6/10, I kinda disagree with the nostalgia point as only saw seven samurai 2 years ago but I get it lol
Agree
13 assassins is another good movie in this genre. Youve already seen the original seven samurai. You'll like that one.
The Mexican is great. He acted superbly! Underrated.
There’s a deleted scene with Vasquez that gives some implication of his background and why he joins the Seven.
Love the idea of watching originals and remakes. In addition to Sabrina and 3:10 to Yuma, there’s also The Shop Around the Corner/The Good Old Summertime/You’ve Got Mail and Love Affair/An Affair to Remember/Love Affair, Here Comes Mr. Jordan/Heaven Can Wait. I won’t recommend West Side Story due to all the editing required for the music, but there’s also True Grit OG and remake!
Don't forget the original Departed movie, Infernal Affairs....
I gotta tell you that I've watched other reactions movies, but your channel is the best because if the editing. Your editing is better then any other I've seen. His work.
There are actually a number of "Seven" movies though "The Magnificent Seven" is the most well known.
The Magnificent Seven (1960)
Return of the Seven (1966)
Guns of the Magnificent Seven (1969)
The Magnificent Seven Ride! (1972)
The Magnificent Seven (2016)
True, but the quality seriously diminished with each additional film, emphasis on "SERIOUSLY".
@@avantegarde7797 Oh I can't disagree with this comment. The quality of successive movies IMHO greatly diminished. Even the class of actors IMHO declined though they were good actors in other roles. Some being established in the cowboy genre already (George Kennedy & Lee Van Cleef for instance).
I love Ethan Hawke in these old type roles. One of my favorite movies is The Newton Boys, Matthew McConaughey, Ethan Hawke, Vincent D'Onofrio, Skeet Ulrich, and Dwight Yokum. IMO, an underrated movie in the similar vein as O Brother Where Art Thou, like same mama, different daddies. Easily my favorite Ethan Hawke old timey role. I highly recommend The Newton Boys.
Fashionably violent but it is lazy to make Bogue so hateful so early. The great thing about the other films is that you understood where everyone was coming from and there was an ambivilence of sorts that played to their credit.
Luke Grimes (Teddy) is in the show Yellowstone, starring Kevin Costner. It's a show about a powerful Montana cattle ranch family dubbed the Montana mafia.
My dad loved the 1960 film. His love for westerns, me love westerns. If you haven't already watched it, GODLESS is a great western mini-series. It has some great performances too.
Killer Backstreet Boys allegory. I think I see the connection. It's like when they filmed the Everybody music video on the same set as the Christina Ricci Casper movie for some reason. Not sure what...anyways that was a thing for some reason. And Chris Pratt passed the cowboy test...now officially a movie star.🎶 Everybody...yeeeeeah? Rock your booody...🎶 🕺💃🕺💃🕺 is the point. Backstreet's back...alright?
Goodnight had PTSD from his time in the Civil War. He saw so much violence that he could re-imagine it in almost any situation.
I love doing compare/contrast with different versions of movies. You might want to do a couple of versions of A Star is Born. Or True Grit. And definitely check out the original 3:10 to Yuma.
He missed the windmill just by inches at 28:37. I was expecting that too to go up in smoke. Would have been epic to see. Well, at least he got the shed.
Nic Pizzolatto, creator of True Detective, was a writer on this movie.
That Bullet Question is one of the most Canadian things I've heard in a while lol the short Answer is "No" the long Answer is "kind of"
There's a movie that has a lot in common with this one, and with 3:10 To Yuma, and that one is Old Henry. It has Tim Blake Nelson as Old Henry, an old farmer with a teenage son who doesn't think much of his old dad. Old Henry McCarty. Don't google that name, he has his own Wiki page and all. He was a real person. I'm surprised the name didn't jog my memory when I watched the movie, he had quite the reputation, but I'm glad it didn't. When you figure out who he is, you'll understand the bad guy after he met Old Henry the first time, and then rode off politely with his two minions. "What's the matter boss, he's just an old farmer! Why don't we just ride back and kill him?" "Because his name is Henry McCarty. And I knew a man by that name once, back in Kansas. We need to hire four more guys."
One of the greatest westerns of all time is SHANE! Put it on your list. You won't be disappointed. I promise.
This was the first movie I saw Chris in after parks and rec. he became a favorite of mine then so after this movie he proved he was well rounded, then his speech about God put him at my #1! Such a great movie
What’s great about The Seven Samurai/Magnificent Seven is it’s a story that can be told over and over again without losing any of its appeal. As long as some humans choose to take advantage of those who can’t protect themselves, this story will resonate in the human soul.
No you can't, this movie is proof. Nothing special besides the cast...
It was probably the liver of the deer that they were eating. It was considered a delicacy to eat the liver and it was often given to the hunter who made the kill or offered to honoured guests.
I think the celts did that as well as the native American's
You can definitely recover bullets and cast the lead into new bullets. The hard part is that you need cases and primers to make them shoot. Cases are easy, you can pick them up after you shoot them. Primers are REALLY hard because it’s not really functional to reload them. Same goes for rimfire cases. Which the yellow lever actions would’ve been using.
Possible yes, but impractical. Recovering spent bullets in a field will be like finding a needle in a mile long stack of haystack.
So while not improbable, it is a near impossible task.
@@dgrmn12345 I’d say yes and no, that also depends. The range we go to has dirt backstops, you can get 10-15 pounds of lead by digging through them, that being said, if they’re shot like in hunting or combat, you’re right, near impossible task.
Every time Vasquez called Faraday "güero" / "güerito" means he is calling him "blondie" as a sign of friendship. So when Faraday got shot, Vasquez got mad and started cursing in spanish (mexican slang) while shooting at the bad guy.
I look forward to every video you do. Your reactions are pure and real . Thank you very much for your entertainment.
Bullets travel close to the speed of sound and are usually made of softer materials, so that they don't ruin things like rifling (the grooves inside of gun barrels). Most of the time when they hit something, they're going to at least deform. If it's a hollow point, it's going to mushroom. So, no, you usually can't recover them in a usable form. Even ones used for ballistics testing may not be viable for re-use. Back when most were made of regular lead, you could possibly gather what's left of a few and re-smelt it. But, chances are that fragments would not be recovered.
In High Plains Drifter ... Clint did it all by his self.
I actually made a dnd character based off Vincents character intro, lizardfolk barbarian, same story different actions lizardfolks can make javelins so that was mine instead of a tomahawk, had a great axe they could barely lift so that's why guy fell when i charged at him. Used bonus hungry jaws to finish guy on the ground and also recover hp. Good times.
With the right tools, you can melt down bullets and recast them, but they'd still need fresh powder and primers to go in an already fired round casing.
Seven Men from Now (1956) staring Randolph Scott and Seven Ways from Sundown (1960) staring Audie Murphy
Yes! 'Seven Men From Now' is the best western most people never heard of!
Goodnight wasn't superstitious he has PTSD from being in the war that's why he couldn't shoot & why he was talking about hearing voices & etc
It’s not a 7 but the next one in this genre that you have to watch is The Three Amigos.
Yes! That would be a fun one. Invite your sister over for that one.
The Three Amigos, again~Man, I really am in the minority here
@@avantegarde7797 You might be, my friend. It’s a favorite it my household.
Goodnight has PTSD which is why he has trouble reacting when gunfire starts to fill the air, because he is shellshocked after what he experienced in the war. Another movie that has the same premise as these films is "The 13th Warrior" starring Antonio Banderas. If you really think about it, it is similar in basic plot to "7 Samurai". The only difference is, there are 6 more additional members in the group.
13:03 omg This lullaby reminds me of something! I can't think of what it is! OMG this is killing me. O I got it! It reminds me of the lullaby of Bill Nighy playing Davey Jones in Pirarates! The scene where he's at the Organ thinking of Callisto. But I guarantee you if you like this movie you might like The Hateful 8! This movie kind of reminds me of that movie except well I don't want to tell you because I don't want to give it away but I think you would love The Hateful 8! I love it when Carley watches movies w/ u!
Once the bullet is fired. It is done. And what Denzel ate is usually the heart of an animal after the hunt.
Has she seen True Grit yet? If not that might be a worthy watch in the future
And since she mentioned viewing originals and remakes...
@@philipwilliams2359 Yea right
One of the best modern westerns in the last 30 years since Tombstone.
A Bugs Life was also a retelling of Seven Samurai. There was also an anime called Samurai 7.
When me and my friends went to the theater to watch this, we chose which character we would be. I ended up being Red Harvest and I'm glad I did.
(At 12:53) and Men in Black as that alien roach wearing a farmer skin.
Another "Magnificent Seven" movie you might like is "Battle Beyond the Stars." It's basically "the magnificent seven in space." It's actually pretty fun.
21:00 You can't reuse bullets, they get bent out of shape (usually) when they hit. BUT- you can take an old cartridge, replace the gunpowder and firing cap, then put new bullet on the end. Reloading ammunition this way saves mo ey, especially if you shoot a lot.
Cassie, when Chisolm almost got shot in the end, I think that's the closest I've ever seen you come to cussing. It's admirable to keep your reactions as clean as you can, but that was about as genuine a reaction as I've ever seen you make. Keep up the great work on the channel!
I think you would really like the western, Quigley Down Under. It's about a cowboy fighting an evil land baron in Australia in the 1870's. :-) Tom Selec plays Quigley.
That is one of my favorite "Westerns". Keep a copy on my external hard drive.
