Bro this monkey was 10x more scary than the actual alien
It was the only scary thing about the movie
i preferred the gordy sub plot over the main story.
Spoiler?

@@bumblingfool2211 The Gordy part EXPLAINS the overarching story
the first time I saw this in the theatre, I tried to alleviate my fear by looking away from the screen and just hearing the sounds made it worse.
A big part of the brilliance of the scene is that even if you DO look, you don't see much of anything. It's left almost entirely to the imagination.
@@derkeheath5172 the sound of so bad I had to watch the screen to give my brain something to anchor to, and yeah, it didn't really help.
Completely agree on the usage of "brilliance".
I was watching this movie with my brother, mother, and her boyfriend. The movie was scary, sure, but the chimp scenes were the scenes that made us ALL uncomfortable. My brother said that these scenes were his least favorite because of how intense and visceral they are, whereas I was the opposite because I was bitten by a dog not too long ago, so this scene his extra hard for me.
That’s hilarious sense the entire method of survival of this movie was to not make eye contact with the creature.
@@archinspide2652 I actually hadn't thought about that.
It's not just this scene, but the way it impacts that makes Peele such an enthralling director. I believe it comes from his comedic elements: he just really knows how to pace an experience that gets me every time.
Chimps are freaking terrifying. People underestimate how powerful they are & how unpredictable & quick to violence. In the wild, chimps will actually plan 'wars' on other groups of chimps. Part of what makes them so scary is that they're cunning.
I used to live with a zookeeper who would tell me scary stories about chimps, such as them ripping apart living animals that would cross their enclosures (like the occasional cat or possum) with their bare hands & throwing the pieces around for fun.
One story that really stuck with me was about two of the experienced chimp-keepers. One of the male chimps started to play a 'game' with a woman who'd been in the enclosure to make certain safety checks. He'd hold a ball out to her & snatch it back. Hold it out & snatch it back. Tempting her closer & closer.
Luckily, the other keeper realised that the chimp was holding & hiding behind himself a large tree branch that he planned on hitting her with. The keeper immediately signalled to the other keeper that she needed to back out of the enclosure rather than continue interacting with the chimp. Had it hit her, it could've killed her with a single blow.
Most zoos have contingency plans for if/when the animals in their care escape (like if there's a natural disaster that damages enclosures etc). A lot of animals would be handled gently, such as many of the herbivores/grazing animals. Some more carefully, with sedation etc. But most zoos consider chimps a 'put down on sight' animal if they escape their enclosures due to the threat they pose & their uncontrollable natures.
why you got to mock us, we may look like monke but we ain't racist
ay don't let the coo coo ones make you think all of us are bad... I consider myself pretty controlled.
I was at a zoo and saw a chimp approach one of the visitors from the other side of the moat around the habitat. He had what I think was a coconut, and threw it - underhand - at the visitor. It hit the railing just a foot in front of the man and freaking EXPLODED. To this day, I believe that if that coconut had hit the man it would have killed him.
The stories sound like some people you'd meet, I think that's the real scary thing is that maybe human cruelty is more natural in the world than we'd like to think if other animals are just as sadistic as we can be.
I think what bothers me personally Is the setting. A bright, light hearted, family friendly sitcom set being bathed in blood by a chimpanzee who was a part of the set, wearing children's clothing and a party hat.
What's the alternative?
@@opposumness3107 a jungle maybe? A Zoo? It certainly wouldn't have the contrast to make it such a horrifying impression.
I thought he was wearing a star trek shirt oh I can't stand apes either they are not cute
Yes and it just is grounded I find myself loving movies playing real as possible , I mean I think this is actually the scariest part of the film
And then amidst the chaos and the mess... _he looks directly at you._
What's terrifying to me is that this has actually happened. People have been mutilated beyond recognition by chimpanzees in real life and it is usually for a similar reason; the animals are kept as pets or for sideshows and even if they aren't treated poorly (although they often are) a chimpanzee was not made to be dressed up like a baby and taught to ride a bike.
and humans have done the same, in fact we've done worse. humans have literally cooked other humans alive just so find out what % of the body is water.
your point?
We are all made up of energy. A wild animal needs a lot of energy. Their DNA demands it. The animal needs to be able to move all day, to hunt, or not be hunted. When you put an animal like that in a cage, it's body is still signalling for that energy, yet it's sitting stagnant, because he/she cannot move. Unless that energy is channeled properly, just like with us humans, it will turn into boredom, racing thoughts, fear, anxiety, paranoia, etc. This is why they require human inmates exercise time, because if they didn't, you'd have a prison of insanity and carnage.
I only know of travis and the woman still survived, i havent heard of any other similar incidents
You can see the woman who was mutilated in the video
@@moonagedaydream-ohyeah worst thing is that it ahs happened for example charles bronson was put a lot of times in solitary an already violent individual that often had rage induced episodes put in a cage in the dark ofc the result? he got worse and more violent
I think what makes this scene so scary is that it appeals to your most primal fears: a predator noticing you. I mean, that's literally the original fear, and I think whether we realize it or not all of our greatest fears is becoming prey
astute! your comment needs more upvotes, sir!
I know right
i’m squaring up ni
"Monster is a relative term. To a canary, a cat is a monster. We're just used to being the cat."
Predator? pointy stick literally beats it
The shoe standing upright was literally just a coincidence. A miracle, an impossibility, happening by sheer coincidence at the absolute worst possible time.
The randomly balanced shoe would be a great trap for those audience members who are prone to overanalyzing movie scenes and forming pretentious ideas about the "true meaning" of a scene, conclusions about seemingly unimportant very minute things that in reality were never on the director's radar when they were making the movie.
This idea would be nice if Jordan Peele wasn't that exact type of person.
which in turn made jupe think he had some sort of gift, leading him to his reckless actions with jean jacket and getting him killed
Apparently it's what Jupe was focusing on as he disassociates from what is going on and what happened. It also kept him from looking the chimp in the eyes and not get killed.
@@CatzlovichCatnipAndCabbages You seem very pessimistic regarding Peele as a director when relating to this scene. I see the shoe as an example of the concept OJ alludes to later, a "Bad Miracle." It's the same concept you're talking about: Something inexplicable with no further "meaning." It's not divine intervention, not some grand truth to behold. It's just something that *happened.*
Honestly, reality can be weird and far more unbelievable than what we’ve come to expect from film.
One of the aspects that made this scene so terrifying was that Gordy nudges the actress' foot, then seemingly realizes what he's done.
Gordy then sees young Jupe and tries to fist bump him, as if his training kicked back in.
This scene highlights the dangers of attempting to train a wild animal, just as Jupe tries to do with Jean Jacket.
They usually are grabbed by traffickers, who kill their mothers. They stay with their mums, so it’s a hard blow. The “training,” is also incredibly brutal and cruel.
I don’t blame the chimp, or the ones that have done this in real life. The horror they experience 🤦♀️
@@lesyeuxsansvisage1157this is how I feel as well. If they can be dangerous by nature in the wild, what do we expect when we rip them away from their mama, then traumatize and exploit them? I remember the story of that woman whose friend’s chimp ripped her face off. The police came, were chasing him around, shooting at him, the animal was out of control and obviously dangerous….and then he went in the house and they found him hiding in his crate, the one place he felt safe…I just thought that was sad. We are responsible when these things happen. It’s wrong to keep them as pets, or keep them caged up in a zoo.
Chimps are, by nature, much more violent than humans and a lot of people don’t realise that. They are also _huge_. The chimp depicted here? He can’t be older than 5, maybe 6. Take a look at a 15-20 year old chimp, when they reach full size. They are at least double that size. I work in animal cognition doing non-invasive research and did a very short study for my master’s at the Budongo Research and Rescue Unit in Edinburgh (in my opinion, it is probably one of the *only* facilities fit to house apes, although I don’t believe they should be in captivity unless completely necessary). I’m not a fan of studying primates-my area of research expertise is canines and birds-but I was assigned a supervisor for my master’s and didn’t really have an option. To this day, working with chimpanzees was the closest I have ever come to a near death experience. I was separated from these massive chimps by only a tiny plane of glass and this one time one of the males had a massive tantrums and started banging against ever single wall panel to show dominance. He kept going from panel to panel and then got to the one right in front of me (where I’d been sitting, taking notes) and I just thought, “there’s a possibility I might die”. Anyways, I don’t work with chimps anymore 😅
It still blows my mind that the #1 complaint I saw about this movie was "all that stuff with the chimp had nothing to do with the rest of the movie, it's so random". Like, are people incapable of thinking about things for 2 seconds?
@@RoguSpanishit would be very inconvenient to recognize and admit and then have to do something about the exploitation of the other creatures we share the planet with.
God... the moment the chimp made eye contact with the camera. With me. I was fucking terrified.
Movies made me scared of monkeys
I know right
I almost shit myself in theaters at that scene
@@arcage_0132 seeing that movie in theaters must have been so scary, watching it at home is horrifying but in THEATERS must be so freaky
@@PopsparkzsXD oh absolutely, with the surround sound when the alien hovers over the house and the blood and objects fall. That and the chimp staring at you were definitely in my top 2 for feeling the most unsettled in the movies
This, to me, is terrifying because it highlights how unpredictable wild animals can be. In the incident this was based off, Travis the chimp was stabbed with a butcher knife by his owner while attacking a woman. What does he do? He turns to her, stares... then resumes attacking the woman.
Same thing with Gordy. He's not being aggressive to Jupe, but we don't know why. It could be because they did share a connection, because he'd calmed down, because he wasn't threatening, it could have been anything. Whatever it was, we won't know or understand it.
He never sleeps, the judge. He is dancing, dancing. He says that he will never die.
No way in hell The Judge is scared of an ape
Idk if this is the definite reason but a large point repeated throughout the film is to not look an animal directly in the eyes (one of the many rules OJ states in dealing with animals, as we see whoever doesn't heed that warning ends up dying/getting eaten in the film) An argument could be made that what saved Jupe that day was simply the tablecloth serving as a translucent veil, so while Jupe was trying to look at Gordy, Gordy could only see Jupe's torso etc, which made it easier for him to calm down and revert to his trained characteristic. Jupe however, didn't learn from this experience in the way he should have, and thus was doomed to repeat the actions of his costars and producers.
@@smartgoat2753based blood meridian enjoyer
Pretty sure travis was on drugs when he acted out. Normal chimps wouldn’t be like that.
That being said chimps are basically sociopaths at the best of times
everyone is too focused on the shoe, but that lamp cover is great foreshadowing to the terror that is Jean Jacket
Am i seeing things or is the shoe standing upright in a manner that defies gravity???
@@richierottweiler923 that is exactly what its doing, there are many different interpretations as to what it means.
No. The shoe is essentially a miracle
.the kid thinks he communicated with the chimp but he didn't. Later he finds out he's not communicating with the alien . It just eats them
He made a literal feed trough for Jean Jacket.
@@richierottweiler923I’m pretty sure the shoe was meant to fit the theme of “a bad miracle” it was a miracle at the time cause it made the kid focus on that shoe, preventing him from agitating the monkey by looking him in the eye. But at the same time, that was bad cause the kid went on to grow up, believing he could tame animals. And that’s why he died to the alien
This scene was a perfect foil to play against the fake façade the adult Ricky puts up. The abrupt cut from him describing the incident laughingly as an SNL skit to this really sells it. As you watch the horror you immediately think "Ricky is messed up and is has coped with this traumatic incident in a very unhealthy way". In the conclusion of the scene with Gordy trying to give Ricky a fist bump it also plays into the arrogance and/or misunderstanding that Ricky has over wild animals. Due to this incident, Ricky makes the fatal mistake thinking that he can tame a dangerous animal such as Jean Jacket. Just as Gordy demonstrates the exploitation of animals for spectacle/entertainment, one could interpret Ricky as a demonstration of the exploitation of children for spectacle in that he is exposed to disturbing scenarios and like many child stars loses his innocence/childhood with detrimental results.
A shame Ricky died because he thought he was-
_title card_
*I N V I N C I B L E*
ah, I had wondered why he seemed completely ok with talking about it
Nice interperetation with this. It's as if Gordy identified Ricky as a fellow chattel chimp, and what Ricky takes away from it is some kind of dominion.
💯💯
The story of Travis the chimp always stuck with me. Terrifying animals when they lose it.
there’s a band that used the police call with nothing but a dark guitar riff.
That's pretty grim. However, not as grim as a band I was reading about the other day called Mayhem and their album cover art for the bootleg album, The dawn of the dark hearts. That would take some beating. Check that out 😶@@michelangelo5903
I couldn’t even watch this scene because I remember how freaked out I was from the real story
We are terrifying animals too, its just that we understand chimpz less... knowledge is power to understand, exploit, help and attack etc
I know right
My theory as to why Gordy began to attack everyone around him is that he was an Ape raised in captivity due to his parents being shot by poachers, and so the loud bang of the balloons popping on set caused him to have a PTSD induced panic, the bang triggering memories of gun shots, causing him to 'defend' himself from everyone surrounding him, I think it wasn't rage that triggered him to do all of this, but instead fear and trauma
Would explain why he was chill with the kid
Personally, I don think there was a deeper reason for Gordy to attack, it was gonna happen at some point, balloons just happened to be what triggered it. It was a matter of time before Gordy snapped back into his animal instincts
Doesn’t have anything to do with anything. Chimps are notoriously violent even in the wild. Wild animals cannot be profiled like people, they do not think like us. He became violent because he is a wild chimpanzee.
Also the fact that balloons popping can also just be very startling. It doesn’t take much to make an animal go haywire, especially fear.
I love how he actually signs “what happened to family” or something like that
I know right
I feel like the shoe was there to really sell the "SPECTACLE" theme. Even beyond the obvious "what is a spectacle" thoughts it sends us down throughout the movie. Even in this horrific scene where a cherished animal friend becomes pure violent instinct, encased within this absolute terror is a physical marvel. The obvious "known violent animal being violent" is what we rant and rave over (the spectacle), while this one-in-a-billion chance totally unique event of a shoe landing perfectly vertically balanced is completely overlooked( also somehow, the spectacle).
Jordan Peele pretty much confirmed this in an interview
I know right
I also love how this scene basically sets up Ricky's whole character. He isn't killed partly because the tablecloth blocks Gordy's view of his eyes and he's also looking away at the scene, so he can't see him staring. Ricky takes that coincidence to mean he's special
I know right
Which ties into not looking Jean Jacket in the eye. He never learned that he was prey.
I think this chimp attack is based around a real incident. There was chimp named Travis, and he was owned by a woman named Sandra. Travis was trained and could a lot things, including house chores. One day Travis just snapped. Sandra later said she gave him tea with Xanax that may have caused irritability.
He attacked a woman and mutilated her face, and she lost both hands. Police arrived and shot Travis, mortally wounding him. Sandra later died of, I think it was grief for the loss of Travis and for what he did to her friend. The victim, Charla, lived and underwent multiple surgeries, even had transplanted hands. Those didn't work and they had to amputate the transplant hands. Even the outfit this woman wears looking up @6:24 the hat and veil are similar to what Charla had to wear for the rest of her life.
While that case is certainly infamous, it’s not the only time a captive chimp attacked humans.
St. James and LaDonna Davis were a couple attacked by two large male chimps while visiting their former pet chimp at a sanctuary.
However, wild chimpanzee and human conflicts can be even more disturbing. Fatal attacks on children and infants have occurred.
i heard about this in another review video. didn't it also happen on a tv stage too? like in the middle of some interview or something?
@@gusty7153 no- Travis the chimp got loose and attacked a woman he knew out in the street, after she had agreed to help the owner look for him.
The victim was unaware that Travis had become unpredictable after the owner’s husband passed, and that he had been given drugs & alcohol to try and placate him
I've actually heard about this, and the scary thing about the face part is that the chimp literally RIPPED it off as if ripping the wrapping of a present off.
Suicide silence made a song about this, it's called "And then she bled"
I'd also like to draw attention to the fact that the incident ends with Gordy simply being shot and dying. There is absolutely nothing supernatural in this scene; the horror is not imaginary, but the raw reality of the world we live in.
I know right
A monkey getting shot, makes sense that Peele directed the movie
It's got that creepy late-night-RUclips/Liminal Space feeling to it. It feels like we shouldn't actually be seeing this, at all.
You are right
What’s always scared me about the incident with Travis was the victim sharing the same name as me, and the owner of the chimp sharing the same name as my sister. Imagine being little and taking turns googling your name with all your friends to see what celebrity you are, just to find imagines of a mutilated woman. Google didn’t have the best sensors back then
Haha
I know right
This scene gave me anxiety in theaters it felt so terrifying
I think what's genuinely the most disturbing part about this is the animal itself. Chimps are probably the most terrifying Primate right next to baboons purely for the unpredictability and stories you hear. You hear stories every once in a while about someone or a pet getting mauled by a chimp and horrifically it sounds like it's increased a bit in the past 2 decades. What makes it worse in this scene is a few things: You're literally in the position of the kid. The adults and grownups you know are dead, you watch a dude run away only for him to perish in seconds, 1 or 2 people hide behind their chairs and you're just stuck there witnessing the bloodbath and then he looks at you. What's really demented and messed up is that you can either think the Chimp didn't know what was going on, you can think he had like a blackout moment and he signals to the boy wondering what the hell happened (making him a victim in this as well) but you don't know if he's still in his rage or not when he walks to the boy. The cherry on top is the fact they don't kill like other animals; you see most animals like lions and gators use their teeth or claws and just dig into their food professionally but the chimp just bites and rips things apart making a mess for what looks like their own entertainment sometimes. I know Gorillas and Orangutans are huge guys that have the power to break your bones but they're mostly territorial and passive but only fight if they feel threatened. Honestly describing all of this now makes chimps sound like the closest things we have to real life demons.
I know right
bro you say a chimp is almost like deamon?? the deamon is the one who cages it, uses it for money, and as a pet .....duh...
And chimps target sensitive areas like the groin or eyes, which technically are not "necessary" for survival
They carefully IMMOBALIZE their victims before doing the actual killing.
The closest thing we have to real life demons are humans. Chimpanzees are close enough to humans to where they share some of our demonic traits, while not being held back by the physical limitations we possess. What’s so scary about chimps is that they are like humans but strong enough to inflict their violent wills.
Well, they do enjoy it…
Chimps are known to be sadistic
What made me so terrified is how you think Gordy is still in the rampage but when he waves his hand in the air, he says: what happened family? Indicating that he didn’t mean to kill also what jordan peels did was try to show not tell what we see by putting us in Ricky’s reaction which helps tremendously. Also what I find funny is how Terry Notary plays kong in Kong skull island.
Eye contact with the aggressor amps up the tension. Another great scene is the pitch fork scene in The Crazies remake. That is the scene that came to mind when I first viewed Nope .
I still kinda want a sequel to the crazies remake, I did really enjoy that movie
I know right
@@danielramos6325 you sure do know right
That scene frightened me profoundly and is still in me. It's nice to not be alone. Thank you.
One thing you didn't mention is the sound design for this scene. It starts off with these weird sharp popping sounds that are just... wrong somehow.
Much later in the movie, we learn it's the sound of the helium balloons popping against the set lights, and that's what made Gordy freak out.
Like Jordan Peele's other movies, Nope greatly benefits from multiple viewings.
I know right
I love this film so much. I thought it was brilliant, and I especially loved all the small details that went into it and the main message. It makes me sad that Nope movie received so much hate when it came out. It's my favorite Jordan Peele movie, but a lot of people think it's his worst one.
Using people's imagination against them is a huge factor in this. The antagonist doesn't need to be obscured. They obscured the attacks instead. You can only see parts of it. You can hear it.
I know right
4:11 - "and i still kinda think about what it means to me". Yep, i think this is the actual reason for the shoe to be there in the first place.
I know right
THIS SCENE ACTUALLY HAPPENED TOO!!!
Are you sure?
They couldnt film it if it didn't happen
@@Cheesedrinker_ depends
There was a chimp actor and two chimp pets that this scene was based off of. Off the top of my head look up Travis the chimp attack (and I believe his daughter was a pet and attacked her owners too) where these chimps go from calm to just anxious and psychotic in seconds. The fact that chimps go for the genitalia, finger tips and face make it scary too
Happend irl rip
the director made this scene perfectly. I was more interested in this story then the main storyline. In fact, I wish they would have used this scene as a template for the last scene of the movie. the more they showed of the alien the less suspense there was for me. I think it would have been much better not getting a good look at the alien until the photo.
Jordan Peele ever heard of him? he's actually a comedian actor--famous in Key&Peele 😊
Ok. Well that chimp scene was fantastic.
I know right
I was terrified of chimpanzees as a kid. So when the movie opens up to the chimp in the middle of the bloody mess, I was already thinking "oh no".
But then the chimp looks directly at you (the camera), and my childhood fears unlocked themselves after twenty years, and I was already like "OH HELL TO THE FUCKING NO"
Don’t engage in vulgar speech. In Christ we will conquer death because Christ conquered death. Outside of Christ there is no victory and there is no peace.

@@DarkSoulsssss You trolling?
That nope scene I think it's the most terrifying scene I've had the displeasure/morbid pleasure to watch and I don't wanna meet a chimp in real life after that
yep, it's much worse than a fictional monster because this can and has actually happened
Chimps go for the weak spots right away, face and groin
Whatever works itll do so tenfold in rage
A real monster is always infinitely more terrifying than a fictional one
I thought I was the only one who loved (also horrified) this scene. Thanks for making a vid on it
These scenes during the movie scared me so badly, it actually didn’t leave my head for multiple hours
Same
I love the scene in retrospect because it cements Jupe’s confidence for dealing with creatures he doesn’t understand, believing he has a kind of divine luck.
I watched Nope with my friend last summer and we both didn't quite get the movie but this scene was absolutely horrifying, I always thought monkeys are scary, I think it might be because they're the animals that looks the mkst like a human which makes them uncanny to my point of view at least, we can communicate with them but not understand what and how they exactly think.
chimps can and will absolutelly kill humans if they feel they are being cheated on or if they think they that you owe them something
imagine a sociopath with no consequences to his actions, now imagine a herd of them on you
an old man who was zookeeping chimps made a happy birthday cake for a chimp and let the chimp eat in peace in front of the other chimps, the day after when he came back he got methodically mutilated and klld
meaning they got his fingers off, cut his d down, etc etc etc
they're smart but they have no humanity for a lot of races of chimps
Apes.. chimpz, gorillas, we hooomans, orangutangs, boanabs? Etc are apes. Monkeys got tail, are smaller, less intelligent. But.. imagine a monkey throwing dart with tail 😂
What got me the most was the complete silence, knowing that if you made one wrong move you would be brutally ripped apart with no mercy
This was the scariest scene in the movie, i know the monkey getting shot was supposed to be a form of jumpscare, but rather than jump, i sighed with relief that the monkey was dead and no longer able to terrify me
That blinking "Applause" though
Nope is a really great movie. The Gordy scene is actually the most important because it explains how the alien blows up in the end when the balloons pop and set Gordy off
I never connected that. Good catch!
@@TheodoreLeeAuthor🎉
It's the subtle silence as Gordys killing the cast members on stage
Yeah ikr? We're so used to background music making horrific movie scenes even more horrific but the silence is even more unsettling. You're forced to focus on what's happening. You're forced to feel as if you're also hiding from the chimp
it was heartbreaking too. Gordy clearly came to his senses or just didn't see the kid as an enemy..
Most devastating random chimp event in history 😔
No joke, my girlfriend developed a fear of primates from this movie. I remember distinctly how me, my mate and them went out to the movies in anticipation. “Another Jordan Peele work!” and all that, as we are rather avid movie-watchers and horror fans. Then that scene happened first and foremost, and the dread set in.
For the record, I love this movie, and the cinematic finale is spectacular, but my girlfriend demonstrates their disdain towards it every single time it pops up on Netflix, if only for that one segmented scene. Very effective.
I'd love to see this kind of analysis on scenes that made you feel powerful, or feel as if you're the one rushing into battle alongside the MC.
So you're asking for a video on the charge of the Rohirrim from Return of the King?
When I was a little kid watching “Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp” on Saturday morning TV I never realized that he could bite my face off

Learning the scene was based on real events really made this scene even more scary for me
I know right 🎉
That movie actually has the best scare scenes outside the main story/monster.
The director being like "if I want to scare you, I CAN"
This scene was scarier than the whole movie
This scene shows how in an emergency, 1 minute seems like an hour.
I’m so happy I’m not the only one who felt this way. I watch horror movies on the regular, but I could not sleep the night I watched this film because I could not get that damn monkey out of my head. That momentary silence after the horrid events and sounds is what really got to me. To say this scene was a brilliant and bone-chilling way to add to the story Mr. Peele was telling would be an understatement.
I think what sells the scene so well is the fact it feels so real. We are seeing this through eyes of Ricky , and the silence other then some of the sounds from Gordy are just so unnerving. It’s also just sad that this all happened because Gordy was pushed to his limit and acted on his animal instincts.
The chimp was scarier than the freakin alien…
This wouldn't work nearly as well if it wasn't for the fact how dangerous and terrifying chimps are in real life. Like the pet one that ripped off a woman's face.
Edit: His name was Travis
This isnt terrifying. Its heartbreaking. He didnt know what happened. He even asks the boy at the end what happened to family? Its soooo sad.
I agree. I have trouble looking at Gordy as much more than a victim.
yea until YOU are in that room
then its absolutely horrifying and terrifying
@@Ardeleusit can be both, they do not have to necessarily be mutually exclusive
Well reality is often much scarier than fiction
One scary thing that you see when Jupe is telling Oj and his sister about what happened, does not mention any deaths or anyone getting seriously hurt. He says the studio tried to cover it up, which leads me to think that they told this child that if he ever told the truth of what happened he'd lose his career. He was forced to downplay it every time while it ate away at him from within
I remember this scene ever so vividly because I never held my breath involuntarily for so long. It was suffocating to watch.
This was one of the reasons why I loved NOPE as a whole, it still is one of my favourite sci-fi horror films, it’s so unique and surely creepy.
My toxic trait is thinking i could beat the chimp in hand to hand combat
This scene gave me nightmares. When I watched it I had to close my eyes but the organic crunching got to me. The other scary scene for me is when all the people get shoved up the monsters throat, they’re all screaming and crying p. This movie has some pretty disturbing scenes
I think it's a direct tie between this scene and the scene of people being digested that scared me the most.
Now just imagine that incidents like the one with Gordy the Chimp have happened irl, But with a full adult male chimp, Travis being a great example
I saw Nope in theaters... and I was stoned. Yeah, I was bordering on a panic attack that whole scene AND IT WAS FUCKING AWESOME
I think what makes it so grueling to me is that for the chimp, it's just another tuesday. He's just going through his day as he would in the wild. He has no idea of the massacre and fear and tragedy he's caused. The chimp is just letting his instincts lead him, just like he did during the training, give fistbump, get reward, just this time, they're another set of instincts than punishment and reward. It must'be felt like pretty much an average day to him
The helium balloons that popped vcaused instinvvcts for him to attavck
That terrified me too! He's just walking around the aftermath, not realizing what he's done. He clearly didn't know that he went into a rampage. He was just being an animal. He wasn't secretly plotting to murder these people. He just had a violent reaction to being startled by the balloon pop.
@@spectre9340 Right? You can't really blame him unlike say a serial killer with equally brutal methods, but it is still so violent and abrupt to these humans who are so absolutely scared and aware of the situation, in one moment just playing their part, killed in the next. And he himself can not even comprehend what just happened and what it lead to. Almost more sad than disturbing.
@@lorenzreiher1407 I'm sure he really loved these cast members but at the end of the day, he's a wild animal kept in captivity with seemingly no proper animal caretakers on set. People oftentimes forget that chimps are dangerous creatures just because they're not as big as gorillas
this scene and the Dog scene in "when evil lurks" both chill my soul negatively
the actor terry notary actually played a significant role in “planet of the apes”
As a person who's afraid of monkeys and what they could do I could not imagine watching this in theaters.
i learned about the actual incident right after watching the movie and was horrified by this scene
When grown-up Ricky was describing the “Saturday Night Live” sketch about the incident, I, for the next (what seemed like 10 minutes straight) laughed my ass off! Which presented a challenge to keep quiet in that crowded theater with tears rolling down my face! I missed next 10 minutes of the movies dialogue!!😂
Damn they must have thought you had a brain injury! Really amped the intensity of the atmosphere in that theatre I’m sure
@@brodybowls Yes! Out of my urge to keep quiet while laughing intensely, out of respect for the other patrons in the room… I myself thought I was having an aneurysm!! 🤣😂 But, I don’t think anyone else noticed!
Bro this scene gave me nightmares for like a week when I watched the movie
I love how they make one of the scariest scenes in horror in general with the monkey scene. And then like 5 minutes later they top it with the scene inside the ufo's stomach
Watching this movie in theaters was unforgettable
Watching this scene myself just half a year ago, I can understand where you're coming from.
I didn’t watch this in cinema, but rather at home. And oh my god. That was the first time a movie has ever put genuine fear into my body. I’d say it’s because it’s not some far-fetched possibility. It’s something very real and dangerous, something that people thought was completely safe and fine but rather turned out to be a horror that was so out of one’s control. It would be such a brutal and scary death too. To be completely honest, the other parts of the movie were quite mild. The movie was okay. But they MASTERED the scare factor with that scene.
4:33 jumpscare tf
Be nice, they’re a part of your ancestry.
scared the shit out of me
💀💀
This scene had a fear in me a have never felt in all my trauma in horror movies and I still can’t forget the feeling
This, and the Japanese horror film Pulse (Kaïro) scene where the ghost(?) walks slowly, is off center of the camera, approaches slowly instead of jump scares - are genuinely terrifying and some of my favorite scenes.
Reminder that this scene was somewhat inspired by the true story of Travis the Chimp. Long story short, he was a chimp that belonged to a married couple. When the husband died, it indirectly led to Travis not getting as much attention as he used to. He eventually attacked his owner and ripped her face off, but thankfully she survived.
I probably have my facts wrong; please correct me if they’re not
He attacked the owner and her friend I believe, and the friend was the one who was mutilated. Also the chimp was drugged or something during the thing but idk all the details
@@bateae3761 Oh ok, I thought it was the owner who was mutilated. Thank you for correcting me
Watching that in theaters was genuinely scary
This scene and the scene where they are in the alien's esophagus made me so uncomfortable, I loved NOPE and it was genuinely such a good movie
Once I saw a single frame of a bloodied chimp, I am immediately reminded of The Travis the Chimp case.
Another amazing upload by HipStart!
Another HitStart video, talk about an early Christmas
I did not see Nope when it came out, but 2 minutes of this video convinced me to go back and see it.
The first thing I really latched onto in that scene was the camera pointing at us the entire time. I really felt like it added an extra layer of exploitation that the story was aiming for, and gave me a sort of “taste of your own medicine” vibe. This scene is so perfect in so many ways and I’m happy to see it covered :)
You’ve been going ham with the content, keep it up 👍🏾
6:10 I went to the FNAF movie with my friends and I would be spooked or startled at almost every opening or closing of the door because I thought their be a jump-scared because, as you said, they were winding up the tension. Another, and probably better reason why I was spooked was just because of how dang loud those doors were!
For some reason this scene always makes me chuckle a little bit.
I get scared in movies fairly easily even when the killer is just standing there menacingly, my heart rate goes up but this i don't know why, but i just find it amusing.
First watched this movie on my phone at school. Even in that setting I was shook. Underrated masterpiece of a film
Oh yes, scary as hell. At the same time, slow and quiet.
Honestly it really highlights the false positive fascination over chimps, especially in older type movies where chimps were always presented as friendly and having positive characteristics and behaviour similar to humans, creating a false image to many of us when we were young that chimps are friendly. But what we need to realise is that wild animals are *wild* for a reason, they need to be kept there and left alone. Observation and animal rescue is fine, but exploiting and keeping chimps as pets is out of the question, we’ve seen too many incidents of people’s body and faces looking like grounded meat.
The little boy in that scene goes to school w my little neighbors. Kid said he bought a PC with the NOPE check.
What added to the terror of the scene is that you can sort of see movement in the audience seats, really adding to the whole "becoming a spectacle", all the people in the background audience and all of us sitting in the cinema, all we can do is watch.
I was late when I saw the film so I didn’t get to see the scene with Gordy until we get the context. That made this scene so much worse and I was so anxious afterwards.
it kinda reminds me of the travis the chimp incident but a lot different
This is one of my favorite new movies I've seen in a loooooooooong time
This scene is also beyond impossible given how many precautions are taken on set for wild animals. Hed have been shot loooooong before this shot even starts
Yeah it doesn’t make sense
