I love when an older seasoned actor gets their time to shine. He did so good in this role it’s insane. Complete suspension of disbelief in every scene he’s in. This clinches it, he’s my favorite character in this universe.
He is THE ultimate badass. Almost everything (if not everything) he does in the show is believable, within his abilities and the world the show creates. Brilliant writing, and incredible acting. probably my favourite ever character too!
22:20 Mike getting shot there is massive for the story. It’s what makes him seek out an underground doctor to tend to him in Albuquerque, introducing him to the vet and the underworld.
It's incredible how in BCS/BB one single, seemingly minor event can make a world of difference. Ghilligan loves to use Butterfly Effect to his plots and worldbuilding.
@@pablo_giustiniani and in the final episode of BCS we see Jimmy look back on the moment Chuck offered to help Jimmy with his cases. Perhaps he was just thinking of old memories but it seems pretty obvious that if they had talked it out there, none of the tragedies in BCS or BrBa would occur
@@pablo_giustiniani look back on your life and you will find this is true for yourself too. For me personally, my life had its biggest ups and biggest down along a 3 year timeline all because a man, who has never heard of me to this day, in a country halfway across the world one day decided to contact someone for a tarot reading. It's crazy. You could walk out the door tomorrow and your split decision to take a left turn instead of a right could potentially set off a chain reaction that leads to several deaths 10 years down the line.
Mike being a Vietnam vet holds his character together so well in both breaking bad and better call saul, the man has serious skills in deception and weapon handling which feeds his ability to perform crime and punishment in equal measure while under pressure, truly one of the best written characters in a TV show for a very long time.
This is an uncomfortable poop. It is mostly diarrhea. It's uncomfortable, but at the same time it is one of the most satisfying poops. It feels like a load is being taken off of my stomach area. Also, I didn't have a good poop for 2 or 3 days, so this feels relieving
@leafertrash7341 What? Why the fuck would I do that? Change my comment why? I'm not going to return to a random old comment just to edit it. I was commenting on my poop, because that's what was happening at that time
I don't know....I don't think hunters shoot regularly, any shot is gonna spook anything they're hunting...I guess he just assumed to two dudes are dumbasses, maybe they thought it was different groups? That were very close
I think it was more important to warm up his gun for the difficult shot, and the conditioning effect was a happy side effect of that. not like they would have done anything differently if there was a random shot as they turned the corner.
The shoes one is violently simple in a way I really enjoy, but I wonder how calm the wind would have to be for that stunt to work. That's my one concern with an otherwise really stupid plan on its face. Good plan, overall.
@@greeneyedqt90 if he had no shot prior and only at the shoes, the drivers would be alarmed and stop to check the truck to see if it was shot. during that inspection they would've potentially noticed cocaine on the vehicle or stopped the shipment; ruining his plan.
Everything about the 'red shoe scene' was perfect, the build up (getting the bag of drugs) the false 'hunter' shots, the camera work from above as it spilled out, and the long tracking shot at the border......sublime!!
Criminal, this guy put on a more convincing performance than any A-List actor out there. I’m glad he got a shot with a hit show and that so many people appreciate his dedication. At the end of the day any movie award show is really just a combination of good sales and insider connections. Emmy or no, people know and appreciate how great he is in BCS and Breaking Bad, absolutely love the old guy.
The only tough scene to act was breaking down over Matty. Apart from that, Mike has a poker face 95% of the time, so he probably has the easiest character in the cast. A great character, but I wouldn't know about Banks. He may or may not be great, but we wouldn't know from this.
@@babbisp1Yeah I agree, acting awards tend to go to those with a wide range. He plays Mike perfectly, it’s just not a character written to show off an actors chops.
He never underestimated walt. He knew what kind of person Walt was. But he had no choice instead of working with walt. He needed money for his granddaughter.
@@jackduggan911I think he’s referring to the end of the show, where the cops were on mikes ass and he needed his GO bag regardless of whether Walter brought it. Mike did underestimate Walter tho, he never expected Walter to steal his gun and kill him with it, either that or he was so panicked he slipped up.
@@RedDeadGunslingerOutlaw I figured they'd have to have heard the original quote to riff it in the first place, but here goes. They mean to say that Mike is playing a relatively simple game against unaware opponents in a field that is not simple, that being organized crime. Pedantic enough for you?
You're missing one of the most clever scenes. The way Mike swapped the tracking device to make the hunter become the hunted was absolutely magnificent.
2 seasons later he burns out gus's GPS tracker by attaching its battery to that same radio player and listening to an oldies tunes station. love the little details like that.
The first scene alone demonstrates just how patient and careful he is in the execution of his plans. He had no interest in shooting Hector’s men, but also didn’t want them to be too alerted when he fired off his rifle at the shoe with cocaine inside. He had to fire off enough shots to have them let their guard down by the time he got the cocaine to sprinkle onto the truck. Quite the expert at reconnaissance and planning.
In Hollywood, they often train the dogs who portray sniffer dogs to do the classic "bark and act hyper when you smell drugs" routine. So I like that the sniffer dog in this show is more realistic and just noses around the offending truck without making a bunch of noise.
Bark training is for rescue, especially snow. Sniffer dogs are trained for this exact reaction. There are two main types of responses: object and person. For objects they sit in front of it, for person they might make a gesture, including placing their paws on the target.
Yeah he seemed like he only wanted an apology and only got that pissed once Mike started fucking with him. He DID hit his car after all and he just wanted to talk to him about it.
@@squilliamfancyson1080 it's probably more of a latin american thing in general rather than just in Salamanca's family, but ofc he has his standards well structured I'd say
@@veezopolis You can see how much the meth usage affected him throughout both series. In BCS, he starts off by cooking a lovely meal for his abuelita. Then in BB he's beating Jesse half to death in his first episode.
That one last verbal jab he gives Tuco is golden. He's beaten to a pulp, but he needs the cops to see Tuco hit him and for him to go down to really put that final nail in Tuco's coffin and Tuco happily takes the bait because he has zero self restraint.
17:59 You've got to admire just how crazy Tuco is. He's busted as all hell, he knows it, he realizes what Mike has done, and then he takes one last opportunity to clock him in the face _just because he can_ . Consequences are not something Tuco is concerned about; ever.
I began to weep 😪 when I heard Mike say “you killed Matty you killed him for nothing”. His poor wife Stacy and daughter Kayleigh thank god Mike found that out on his own. Imagine the saddness and frustration they would feel when hearing it
12:58 You can tell that Tuco (Raymond Cruz) plays a psycho ganster very well from his body language, mannerisms and his tone. You know its coming from a real place in his life where he can act it out on screen for the audience to admire. Brilliant.
@@akkoonassis9045 he doesn't but he grew up in a hood in east LA where the Surenos, or mexican mafia operates heavily, so he grew up seeing a lot of gang violence, and its safe to say he got a good impression of how mexican gangsters are IRL his ''overacting'' perfectly fits Tuco, as the guy is suppose to be manic and extremely violent, if he played a more calm performance it wouldn't have been the intense character it is honestly it really set the tone in the series for Walt and Jesse messing around with some local drug dealers into dealing with real cartel figures, some ''good moments'' really is an understatement, he's a very memorable character
idk if it was just someone telling tall tales but i read a comment where someone said their dad was a scout/tunnel rat in vietnam and they had a special way of walking where theyd test every step with their toes and put their weight down front to back. so he walked super quiet even out in the woods. sounds kinda bs but maybe someone like mike ehrmen trout could get good at it
Jonathan Banks is literally the goat for his roles in BCS and BB, he's the best character in both series and it's so awesome to seem him really shine in BCS. My favorite character, I'd pay money to see a Mike prequel when he was a dirty cop, completely unrelated from BB.
What a great array of planned actions. My favorite is the TV, because it is simple and improvised on the hoof. But the more complicated ones are excellent too
14:22 What makes this scene so great is if you know the context of this scene. Tuco doesn't know who Mike is but has asked the other man in this scene who he is and he lied saying he doesn't know him/what he looks like.
I just want to hear Banks say "Well Cuzzzzzz" one more time. I will watch everything he's in until that time. If you don't know what I'm talking about Jonathan Banks has had a LONG career and of the notable roles he's played in, such as in the minor parts he had in TJ Hooker and Hill Street Blues. Above all he's in one of the movies I have religiously watched over and over. It's Beverly Hills Cop(The first one). If you talk about Banks, that's really where I first remember him as being notable. He didn't have many lines but the one lone "Wellllllll Cuzz" is pretty fucking great.
16:20 wowwww so I always thought tuco had a fancy fake nail on his index finger until pausing it exactly here and seeing it’s literally just part of the gun. Yes ironically enough at 16.20 I realised I was too stoned every time before.. xD
The BEST decision made by Gilligan's brain trust was to include Mike Ehrmantraut in "BCS." That character was the BEST thing about both shows. The two best television shows ever produced, despite their unfortunate subject matter. Kudos to Jonathan Banks!
I’m rewatching breaking bad rn. But I keep coming to RUclips so I can watch something while I go to bed. But RUclips keeps suggesting breaking bad content so I end up still watching breaking bad for 2 hours 😂😂
For the better part of the series I thought Sylvester Stallone had his head shaved to play this character... didn't know Jon Banks even existed. What a genius actor!!
Proper clips. A lot cut out the preceding couple of minutes and it makes less sense. Beautifully played part, cool as fuck and totally on top of the situation.
12:38 "We were just supposed to scare you, that's all." "Then try harder next time." Honestly... is there a more badass line in all of the Breaking Bad universe?

Should def start with his time as a beat cop and either the pilot or season one finale is the half-measure moment.
