That Seymour Hoffman joke was fire! So glad to see some of the MI flicks covered!
It was so smooth that I was a full beat behind catching it 😅
It was awesome.
Had to pause and come down here to share my appreciation for Jordan's Seymour Hoffman joke.
No sweetie that was Phillip Seymour Hoffman. ☺
Perfect delivery 😂
You know it gets real when Wren stays quiet for several minutes of the video.
@@fortyozsteak Yes, for reference. big difference. you dont use actual real footage of tragedy to make your movie
Poor Wren. Guy was hyped for that movie and I think this really took the wind out of his sails.
@@fortyozsteak No they don't. Films haven't used really war footage for very long time.
I think the difference is, is that footage of war in a movie about the war makes sense. But they're taking rememberable footage that was all over the news and putting it in a movie that doesn't seem to have anything to do with it. I can understand why it gives off an uncomfortable vibe.
@@fortyozsteak You see, movies make dramatic reenactments of tragic events. They don't take the real footage of people dying and losing everything and put that into their movie.
At the end of the day, the actors in the movies get to go home. (Ideally) In this, they're showing an event where people are literally dying in the footage.
There's a massive difference there.
Funny I actually worked on Beauty of the Beast and coordinated that shot in VFX at Framestore. The BG is a plate, the whole kitchen was actually a set (so foam was real) and we just added Mrs Pott. Good old memories! Thanks for revisiting this!!
that's awesome!!
I really hope they see this comment!
sounds like you need to drop by and sit on the couch.
guest couch mannnn @@IanMcCausland
I was certain that the foam was real. I mean it would take days to simulate and render the whole thing. Why not just shoot the real thing?!
Hi, and thank you for approaching the Beirut explosion the way you did. I like the sensitivity you talked about it. Actually I did shoot that footage and I am quite shocked that the filmmakers used my footage for this purpose.
Just saw your vids in your channel. I’m so relieved to know you’re okay after capturing what happened in Beirut
How much did you make from that footage back then? Also do you want money from hollywood for that now?
@@tvderana712I mean he should be compansated. His video wasn't a "reference" it's literally in a Hollywood movie except with some random buildings drawn on top of it
Yeah its really insensitive. I guess Hollywood will do whatever that want without ethics to cut corners.
@@folx2733 unfortunately he can not by law, because he made his footage available publicly
Literally started laughing out loud when he said $25M dollars for that stunt. The idea of him barely wanting to do the movie but still making the studio spend that much on a single stunt. Brilliant
Indeed. I could see his thought process be something like, I do not want to do the movie but since I HAVE to might as well as have some fun at their expense. Lets destroy something expensive and awesome!
Okay, I don't want to do this bullshit, so I'm going to say this scene is gonna cost 25 million, they will say no, then they will cancel the movie and everything is gonna be all right.... Wait, what did you mean by "they approved the scene"?!
r/MaliciousCompliance
I get the feeling that is exactly why he did it.
While I totally agree with corridor crew, I wonder what their comments on the original star wars using world war II footage for tie fighter scenes would be. Its not the original footage ofc. but again its from a war where people actually died. Again its a total different situation I know but I would be interested in hearing their viewpoint.
That See More Hoffman joke was the greatest line in corridor history.
They were cruising along and then everything ground to a halt. Loved it.
don't get it
@@gambello1195 The actor's name is Philip Seymour Hoffman.
@@ODekaKi know the actor’s name, but what does “seeing more Hoffman “ means?
@@darkideon The joke has to do with “see more” sounding like Seymour.
Man, the whole ethics behind your explanation of the explosion effects is just another reminder that you are some solid, on point dudes. Thanks for making these videos!
personally using footage from a real event wouldnt stop me from seeing a movie. but it does give me the ick a bit. because no one goes to a movie wanting to see people actually die on screen. and who exactly did they get permission from to use that footage? they surely didn't check with all of the victims or families to see if they minded.
@@zevo9314 there is no one in the video. the person that filmed it from their window has rights to what they filmed. i dont see an issue with what was used. never watch pre nam war movies. this reads aggressive but didnt mean it that way.
@@soaphelps This is one of those cases in which it is fucked up but not specifically fucked up. How you said nobody is showed on screen, but it is clear it is a real shot of a explosion that killed a bunch of people.
And the idea that someone is profitering out of the tragedy feels fucked up.
@zevo9314 if no one pointed out that they used the pictures from beuruiet, you wouldn't know. Wren didn't relize so you wouldn't have been reminded if a real life tragedy.
@@Eli-xu1hr Pretty sure that the people from the place where it happened would know. And would inform people.
The Director just did a Reddit Q&A and answered the Question about Beirut controversy : “It was never meant to be included in the trailer and never appears in the actual movie. Just by way of explanation: the reality is that archival footage is commonly used as reference for temporary VFX.”
reasonable explanation, but i dont think i could ever even superimpose real footage like that for vfx, rather do it myself. still a big yikes.
I'm sorry but you can't say it was never meant to be in the trailer. Clearly a calculated decision was made to release it. Things like this don't happen by accident, film creators are very picky about trailers and make no mistake this excuse is pure bullshit. Either they left it in the trailer because it was a cheap and fast way to make an explosive shock wave or they did it to create media and public attention as a cheap way to spread the word about their film. Don't be fooled, this is exploitation of death, pure and simple.
@@avokka i mean tbh destruction reference like that you could only get from disasters...
There's a quantifiable difference between using a shot as reference vs using a shot as stock footage.
This is a huge lie. This is the only even remotely plausible explanation they could give after being caught. But it is not the truth.
“Two stunt people died”
Jordan has great comedic timing.
I love his Dark Sense of Humour.
Oh my goodness😂😂😂😂
He nailed it with "See more Hoffman," too. Jordan's got that rapier wit!
When did he say that?
@@eno88 Two Stunt People Died he says right near the end, after the Speed 2 bit.
See More Hoffman he said like 5 minutes in when they were talking about the Tom Cruise into Philip Seymour Hoffman face wipe
I am half Lebanese, lived there for the majority of my life. By a draw of luck, I was in Canada when the tragic explosion happed. My sister was within the shockwave of the blast and I nearly lost her. U guys hit the nail on the head. I am all for freedom of speech and freedom of artistic expression, but this felt more like an artistic and financially exploitive shortcut. It is just in very poor taste and complete lacks the self awareness of what actually went down on that day. Always been a massive fan of you guys but actually speaking out on this makes me proud to be a long time corridor fan. Cheers fellas
...so then what do you call corridor crew making likely thousands of dollars, when including other revenue streams, on this video after including that trailer instead of some other one? 1/3rd of the video was dedicated to that trailer.... it would be perfectly valid to assert those same claims for corridor crew. If using that footage was exploitative and for financial gain, corridor crew is also exploitative and did it for financial gain. Intention really doesn't change guilt since the end product is still someone making money from a disaster.
thats totally understandable honestly, i wrote in another comment about how i didnt care but thats because it didnt affect me at all.
@@ryanthompson3737Corridor are making commentary on it. It's an entirely different use case that admonishes the people who actually chose to use the footage. C'mon, think about it for 10 seconds.
@@ryanthompson3737 What an absurd view. No, it is NOT "valid to assert those same claims to the Corridor Crew". They are not "exploiting" anything- they are discussing the morality and ethics of using it in the way the filmmakers did, as well as making us and other filmmakers aware that it was done. Other filmmakers watch this show, and in the comments they will get to see our discourse on the matter, and hopefully the situation will not be repeated because those filmmakers will also feel the way we do.
Have you guys even looked at the thumbnail for this video? If that doesn't scream exploitive...
Here's a suggestion from a classic movie. There's a scene in Legend (1985) with Tom Cruise and Tim Curry. Tim Curry's character, Darkness, walks into a room through a mirror, showing both the forward movement and the reflection at the same time. It's a really cool visual effect from a time before computers were used. Plus, his makeup in the film is incredible too.
Reminds me of the shot in Airplane when the captain has to get ready at home to head to the airport.
I adore that movie, and it was so well-made, it still holds up today. I had the scene in my head the moment you mentioned the mirror.
It's always fun to watch the crew try to figure out what's happening in a shot. Seeing Wren and Niko's genuine reactions from that most expensive action shot was a pleasure.
The Beirut scene reminds me that they used actual news footage of the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing at the beginning of the first X-Files movie. Like not even overlaying a cg building. They had an office building blow up and collapse and the footage after the collapse is the actual footage of the federal building. I remember my parents getting upset that they did that.
It's the kind of thing that I have to imagine will age "well" in the sense that people will forget about the source over time and distance, and will therefore not be taken out of the movie when it happens. Personally, I'm more bothered with how bad the rest of the explosions in that trailer were, not even remotely trying to match the reality of Beirut. It's doubly insulting, at least.
The weird thing is IF you're going to commit to using real footage, why put in the trailer?! Much smaller odds it's noticed in theater and by that point, you've already made your money off ticket sales. Using it as inspiration (for lack of a better word) I don't have a problem with, but CGI on the real footage... yikes. Only exception would be if you somehow got the people who lived there to vote on it and they could benefit from it, but that's pretty much impossible.
@@SnifferSock true if i had seen it in the theater i might have thought. hey that looked formiliar and moved on and stopped thinking about it as the movie went on. someone might have noticed afterwards and made the connection but now it might deter people from seeing the movie to begin with.
It does feel like the filmmakers were being lazy rather than intentionally upsetting people.
@@SnifferSockreference is the word you're looking for
Wren being deadly quiet throughout the Beirut discussion. I think that spoke more words than the actual chat.
How did you interpret his silence?
I was going to say the same thing. He was so quiet.
@@gerhardebenhart6481 Honestly he seemed a bit hurt by what he was seeing. But he was bracketed by two well-spoken people. There was nothing he needed to add because they really nailed it.
@@thenewgray I think you're projecting a lot onto a dude that said nothing.
Left me speechless too...
I respect that Mistborn shirt Wren!
Solarballs I have an idea for a video can I share it
what
@@JustTearSpaceyou wouldn't know
See I thought this was saying they took inspiration from that and I could see that. But when they play the trailer and I see that it’s actually the same video I just jaw dropped. And seeing Wren go silent for so long just reinforces what I was feeling.
Seeing the overlay confirmed they used the same shot.
I felt nothing because I've seen other movies use such clips out of context like when the 2007 remake of Invasion of The Body Snatchers used the STS Colombia disaster to set the movie's sci-fi story into motion.
@@ligmaballs2022 There's a difference between Oppenheimer, which is non-fiction and biographical and using a real explosion, where 200 people died and 7000 were injured to prop up your sci-fi movie. This ain't no Schindler's List, bud. The footage wasn't used in order to respect or talk about the explosion, or the context or politics, it's a Disney fictional production.
For the record, "escape from reality" doesn't have to be happy or cartoonish. Watching a story unfold is escape, whether it's a tragedy or a comedy.
You have a very limited and broken view of what stories are supposed to be.
this guy gets it@@ligmaballs2022
@@OkScaleModels No, and you don't have to be bothered by it. Some people are and they feel it's icky to have unsourced footage of a real explosion that killed so many people used on a fictional movie and paraded around for a trailer. Maybe you should speak to the families of the people who made it out of there, they will also have opinions about it. Japan wasn't super happy with Oppenheimer either even though it was non-fiction albeit very dramatised. You're welcome to have your opinions, other people with different perspectives and experiences will have their own.
Fun fact: In Speed 2 when the oil tanker explodes you can see a random cow being thrown through the air with the other debris. It's a homage to the director's previous film Twister.
Twister was good
@@LuisSierra42 The whole "hanging on by their hands and a leather strap in the middle of a tornado" part at the end really does a number on my suspension of disbelief every time, but good movie though lol
Holy cow!!!
13:41 Jake the Muss
Jordan's got the best sense of humour. Dad jokes with the "two stuntmen died" darkness combo.
Dude I died
when the least harmless innocent looking one has the darkest humor 😅😅
The shots to Wren’s disapproving face at least 3 times 😂
I think this was one of the best episodes you guys have done in a long time. The poignancy of the Beirut explosion (which is vile) and then the speed stuff, MI as well this one rocks. Also more Jordan please! Loving his dynamic and takes ( maybe a 4 seater sofa is required to get Sam back 😆)
I love how wren called Emma Watson “hermione” this felt so real to me because I do this all the time. Lol
We saw her, grows up so of course
By a massive coincidence, I was going down a rabbit hole about the Beirut explosion last night. So I immediately recognized that footage.
Yeah ive watched it over 50 times the shot felt very familiar
fr, its a great explosion and i ceep going back to watching clips of them.
Same here, I happened to watch a multi-angle compilation video just the other day.
Me too wtf
Yeah. I immediately recognized it too. Glad I’m not the only one
the energy in this trio is unmatched. hope we get to see more of jordan, wren, and niko together on the couch.
I think that using footage from an actual tragedy in order to create a shot is in the least "sleazy". BTW I love the Mistborn shirt!
For sure. If we're lucky this will create some blow back and maybe they'll cut it from the show. Unacceptable in my opinion.
If we're going by the logic of watching a movie to 'escape from reality', then Oppenheimer or any film about 9/11, Holocaust, Tiannanmen Square, WWII or any film based on tragedy shouldn't be watched at all. Using the Beirut footage is a good way to remind everyone why religion, politics and corruption do not go together.
@@ligmaballs2022 There's a difference between making a movie _about_ a tragic event and then just using footage from that event as if it's stock footage, in a Sci-Fi movie completely unrelated to the Beirut tragedy, nonetheless. This isn't like making a movie about a war, this is like making a Star Wars film and compositing in real footage of soldiers to use as Rebel troopers.
@@loading...4091 That's even close to being the same lmao
Yet National Geographic regularly uses Hiroshima and Nagasaki like footage which was way bigger tragedy
9:02 The flute cover got me laughing. It was great
My thing that made me laugh about the “Be Our Guest” song was that the performance goes from the dining room to the kitchen without Belle. I would’ve loved for them to cut back to Belle, sitting alone, with muffled music coming from the kitchen. They just left her sitting there while they sang and danced into the next room. 😂
Hahaha 😄
Clearly that scene was done for real, just using forced perspective to make Watson look much bigger than the servants .
The cook stirring the soup while He-Man rocks out in the next room to HEYYYEAAAHAAA
That would have been a great fourth wall break that’s also very tongue in cheek 😂
😂. Very observant, such Ryan George esc way of viewing the scene.
I appreciated the discussion of the ethics of using the beirut footage.
@@tousenoartyeah because people totally come to corridor digital for a deep conversation about ethics. They discussed it said they didn’t agree with it and moved on.
Well this is eddit version for youtube Il have to see the full video, but I think they did their best cause as filmaker and vfx artist they don't want to put them on full blast for doing it, one of the best things about their reaction is that they always critique without being malicious cause they have the inside perspective.
Too bad they’re also exploiting the footage in their own thumbnail
@@Aloysie spreading information is not exploitative, e.g. i don't use reddit or social networks so i would never heard of that unless someone i watch on yt would share
Such cry babies...
It's really cool to see these amazingly talented vfx artists geek out over good and bad CGI. I love seeing people be passionate about their work and special interests. I also love that they explain, with their experience, how they think the scene was done. It makes me appreciate the art and the artists so much more when I know how behind the scenes things are done. Btw loved that 'see-more' Hoffman joke. Killed me.
The foam bubbles reminds me of the one time they were fixated on a twig snapping in the Snyder Cut for Justice League. This show always makes me so happy.
Jordan was in top form in this episode. Great comedic timing throughout. Time for a raise
Ok Jordan, get this fake account out here. We know it's you!
@@AlissonAlvesDeAraujo I was just about to say something similar.
I live in Beirut and survived the August 4 blast. Thank you for pointing this out boys ❤️🫡
Same
Glad you're alright. Got a good friend out there that wasn't far from it and was lucky to survive also.
@netkosent1620 thank God for that honestly
As someone who lived through it, how do you feel about this footage being used like this?
@@mathewjones7663i don’t care, I mean it’s already over the whole internet anyways so why not use it for better effects
Man, Im glad you guys did speed 2!
Even though the movie wasn't well received I loved it as a kid and that end sequence really sparked my interested in film making and sfx.
Really cool to see it again and how it was done after all these years.
The stunts in that movie were insane. The rest was terrible, but the boat scene and the final explosion? Those were gorgeous.
I HAVE AN AMAZING SUGGESTION! The UFO crashing at the climax of the first Men in Black, on top of the fight with the bug. The blending with the fire effects when J is fighting the bug, and the UFO crashing especially are FANTASTIC to look at!
I can't get enough of Jordan's sense of humor
oh you're gonna love tomorrow ("how many people can a Titan actually eat?")
Dude same, it reminds me a lot of my own. Lol
Props for commitment to the bit in giving us that tin whistle/thump drum music instead of just silence during the Beauty and the Beast reaction.
I was cracking up when that came on lol. I'd like to imagine one of them recorded it though it probably wasn't.
I'm glad you guys covered that. I wouldn't have ever known otherwise, and you're right about it. It's grotesque that they used that footage.
But they still used it as clickbait for profit sooooo
Man the ending of this episode was such a treat.
I don't know why but this episode was fire. So much of laughter and chemistry between the 3 of them, energy was 💯 Loved it.
Not to mention the incredible slide whistle cover
i agree on this, so much fun.
Are we watching the same video? Beirut conversation really put a drag on the entire episode.
Uh... That is total opposite to any other episode. After the Creator Clip, it just seemed to drop and Wren barely said anything when he is usually the most energetic.
The M.I. 2 mask transition is like watching close up magic 🤯
@@lpc9929 what kind of wackadoo comment is this?
@@mzilber1it’s a bot

"Over time you see more Hoffman" was absolutely elite
Kudos to you guys for your commentary on that tragedy
Well, you can be butthurt or say that at least something good came out of the tragedy... I'd be much happier if the cause of my death was used in a movie than forgotten and never seen, especially if it was reminding people of the corruption and negligence that led to that tragedy so it can prevent more things like that in the future...
It would be really bad and unethical if my particular face was seen there and it was me or someone I know dying in a close-up, but this? Nah, people are just searching for the cons without considering the pros to shame someone to feel better about themselves and their morals...
(not saying that controversies shouldn't be discussed, quite the opposite, just adding my perspective to the discussion)
"Over time you see more Hoffman." I really want to hate that, but it works.
As a survivor of the Beirut blast, I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the thoughtful approach you took in discussing the movie that used actual footage from that tragic event. Your empathy and understanding of the sensitivity surrounding such real-life tragedies truly touched my heart.
It means the world to me and many others who experienced the horrors of that day to see a channel like yours speaking out against the use of such footage in a movie. By taking this stance, you are not only showing respect for the victims and survivors but also setting an example for responsible and ethical media consumption.
I need a full video of Be Our Guest with the slide whistle
Fun story, the ship used for filming in Speed 2 is still an operational cruise ship, now operated by Windstar Cruises as the Star Legend. Took a cruise to Alaska on her in 2019 XD
I want Jordan on the couch more. He’s got great timing with his jokes.
17:52 that joke though, got everyone.😁
From the realness of using a tragedy in a movie to using a slide whistle cover, this episode was a LOT of range. :O
6:01 when I first saw the trailer this was the first thing I noticed. I am happy that you noticed it too
Same thing happened in the movie "Moonfall" in 2022. At minute 41‑42 (Fowler) Halle berry, watches a video titled "Flooding in Bangladesh killed thousands" on a laptop. That video is from 2004 tsunami in Sri Lanka city of Galle. Some of the people in that real video lost their lives that day.
And that's problematic how? People are waaaaay too sensitive nowadays, we have enough censorship as it is.
well what are they supposed to do? like do you expect them to generate some CGI tsunami footage just for some B-roll that appears on some laptop for a few seconds?
of course they're going to use stock footage...
@@zwenkwiel816 yes I expect them to generate CGI tsunami footage. They're not getting paid to repaint gore and sell it to me
@@haridaspalleeri6765 lol that's not how movies work
also stop with the dramatic nonsense, they just re-used footage from the news or something....
@@zwenkwiel816 Wow, you're so edgy! What a big tough human being you are.
The music cover up for the Beauty and the Beast killed me. Whoever came up with this, I love you :D
Had me bursting out in laughter
That "see more Hoffman" might have been the greatest pun I've ever heard.
I honestly was always amazed by that cruise ship crash. I love LOVED the first movie, and held on only for the second one because of Titanic, but that cruise ship crashing into the dock always stuck with me.
6:52 - The conversation you guys have surrounding the Beirut footage is really important. Thank you for bringing it up and talking about it ♥
It bothers if it's used in a movie, but if they use it in a video for their monetized channel and with sponsors, doesn't it bother?
@@adrianguth
Course not. It's only wrong when people you don't know in some sick parasocial setting make money off of it, duh!
/s
@@VariantAEC lol teenangers
@@adrianguth
Agreed.
Good thing they can bring it up in this video so they can get money through its monetization. So much more honorable than it being in a film. What heroes!
15:55 It's like he said "you guys forced me to make this movie, so I'm going to empty your coffers"
16:04 anyone else get really scared when they said $25 million dollars in 1997 is $50 million dollars today? thanks fed
I just binge watched the M.I. series the other day. This episode is perfect 👌
Like I immediately recognised this was based on the famous Beirut shot - but never realised they had actually just lifted it and covered over - that is pretty rank - even if they had shown it as news footage... hopefully it will be cut from film release - thanks for pointing that out Corridor Crew!
It's either cut off the part, or gives Beirut municipality a certain percentage of profit they made when it's being premiered while send them a letter of apologize including asking them to use that money to reconstruct the surrounding infrastructure that affected.
What's your thoughts on my idea tho
@@muhamadsyahmi951 Studio's would never let that happen they'd rather cut it.
Im always more impressed by the practical effects. That boat scene is insane..
Too bad it was literally the only good part of the entire movie, lol
@@STS125Willem Dafoe chewing on the scenery can be appreciated in retrospect, but you're right the movie's horrible.
I'll be honest I still think it looks weird like its, made of toothpicks and paper cause there's no actual building interiors that are getting turned inside out.
@@alexisborden3191 Yeah some of that made me think it must have been miniatures, everything was too clean and didn't look lived-in. But then the guy literally jumping out of a car and dodging the boat looked way too real and my brain broke, so I think it was worth it.
The opening scene of vertical limit needs a look at, great looking stunt
The section about the soap bubbles, I can relate to it. As a 3D artist myself, I've ran many simulations, and I can tell you that the bubble simulation, if you add photorealism rendering to the mix, is one the most computationally taxing simulation. And if you add photorealism rendering to the mix, I have to agree, I thinking that shot is a real shot. It's just easier to actually shoot .
Did anyone notice Wren’s entire demeanor change after the Beirut scene?
Yeah, Its like he was so disappointed he could no longer speak. The premise looks interesting tho, hopefully they will remove the real explosion from the final cut
@@tousenoartso why are there 24 likes and a reply cmon man you dont have to comment every thought
poor guy he wanted to see the movie now he won't even see it hahaha
Yeah he went from 100% jolly to just 80%.
I honestly felt bad. You could feel his emotion
The amazing thing about the MI masks is how they also change the wearers weight and height at the same time
And sometimes, eye color. _Darkman_ got this detail right. Every time Darkman is disguised as another character, he still has blue eyes. They used contact lenses where necessary to achieve this effect.
Magic happens when Ethan dons the mask.
They can even size you down, as in the most recent one.
There was so many perspectives it’s crazy
I feel like the best case scenario for that Beirut footage is that its something thats only being used for the trailer.
1:02 - I always thought it looks weird that the explosion is behind Tom, but he was pulled from left to the right screen. The explosion is behind him, so he should be pushed towards the camera, not flying from left to right.
In the context of the sequence, he's technically being blown forward slightly as he runs. But from our vantage it looks like it's just a straight 90° throw. It's probably a little exaggerated for drama but not completely off. When I first saw that moment in the trailer, I felt the same but the more I watch it, the more it makes sense and fits the scene.
I did too. Bizarro 😂
@@Leftysrev3ngestill hard for me to get convinced it's a diagonal push. But focussing on the angle of the shadows cast by the lamp post and the car, it's clear. This right, it's a slight diagonal pull push.
Tom Cruise went to the Quentin Tarantino school of being blown away from things is all.
@@Leftysrev3nge A scene exaggerated?? In a MI movie??? You shush your mouth sir! 😋
I genuinely believe Niko is the Bob Ross of muzzle flashes and explosions… bob was a master at understanding lighting!
Accidentally drop a flamethrower footage on footage of a house. Niko: "No Mistakes, Just Happy Accidents"
1:33 I remember thinking about the wipes the first time I saw the movie in theaters (I think I was at a drive in theater too back then) so I was like omg lol
It was just such an impressive feat at the time I couldn't stop thinking about how they did it.
Also it is impressive when CGI and special effects shots are becoming so impressive that even VFX Artists have a really hard time telling if a shot is real or not.
"Speed 2: If you're going to force me to make it, I'm going to crash a cruise boat into a town".
“Over time you see more Hoffman”
That. Is comedy Genius. Thank you for that❤❤
Speed (the original one) will forever be a special movie to me. It's one of those few English movies that my dad made me watch as a little kid. He is no more but whenever I see things about the movie , it excites me.
Never knew there was a part 2 ☠️
The main thing I remembered about Speed 2 was it was a bit of a flop that seemed to be mostly talked about because Sandra Bullock was tricked into doing it by the studio who told her Keanu had already signed on to it, so she signed a contract only to later find out they lied.
That was also then a bit of a talking point for the press around The Lake House, a rom-com (I think, or maybe it was just a romance/drama, not a comedy) which is the only other time they've starred together
The whistle music during the Beauty and the Beast segment was genuinely hilarious.
I'm liking seeing more Jordan in your videos hes got a great energy 😊
The Speed 2 closer blew my mind
Suggestion: Can you guys watch Robot jox's first battle scene? Robot jox is a 1989 film about War being outlawed and now territory disputes are settled by Robot fights. Hope you enjoy the scene.
I JUST watched that for the first time yesterday! I had never even heard of it. The plot is a hot cheesy mess, but the mech fights, especially for the time, were really fun. Would be perfect for this, honestly.
Loved that movie as a kid. I agree. Give Robot Jox the spotlight!
I've been trying to find this movie for like 2 decades after seeing it as a kid, but never knew the name! Holy hell thank you!
I was obsessed with Battletech when I was a young teen and watched Robot Jox in the theater. The robot fights were great, but there just aren't enough of them.
@@vaevictusdeussaw that film on tubitv laughter so hard at it although the mecha fighting was good though 😊
Wow, that speed 2 clip was an absolute treat. I can’t believe I had never heard of this before since its the most expensive stunt in all of filmmaking. Super interesting stuff, and its absolutely mindblowing that they spent the equivalent of $50 mil just to do it all for real
...And for THAT movie!
The tanker explosion in Speed 2 is also pretty good. One of the best film explosions.
You had never heard of the Speed films?
Love the philosophical approach to filmmaking. What you want to achieve, what's desirable and brings joy and what doesn't. Makes you think about why you are doing VFX or filmmaking in general which is important, isn't it?
My favorite minerature usage in a movie was the minerature of Venice Italy in "The League of Extraordinary Gentleman"
Very interesting take on the explosion. And honestly- i agree.
Its ok to use it as reference but to take direct footage and just modify the buildings is not enough of a change i feel
Yeah, you took the words right out of my mouth, mate. If it was just reference, for me at least, that's fine. Creatives use horrific shit for reference all the time. Like the Dead Space developers were literally looking at crime scene photography to get their gore right. But there's a certain amount of respect that comes from understanding and interpreting reality, rather than just... using it verbatim.
ill go the other direction then and say disagree. It being a real thing not only makes it more realistic but also gives more weight to it. Also taking a bad scenario and making something positive out of it is a good thing in my eyes.
How is that different from when there is a storm that devastates a community and then a film crew goes to use that location as devastation for their film. If you think that hasn't happened, it's happened more times than you'd know. In fact, coincidentally, the director of The Creator did this in this first film, Monsters.
@@PrinceGastronome If the director has done something simililar before it makes it even worse, because now it isn't even a single failure of judjement, which can happen, but deliberate and repeated exploitation of tragedy.
@@firmak2plus I don't know why anyone thinks it's just them trying to make cool explosions,like have anyone not payed attention to the trailer and story, seeing how the world is and how people are fighting for something. How devastating and scary it is as if your actually there. Not trying to be cool
i'd like you to do a follow up on The Creator. How did the studio react, the filmakers, the responsability of the VFX artist versus the director, etc.
Yeah, I wan't to hear was it just a vfx vendor in a crunch who made that decision, or what tf.
jordan feels so real rn, he now really fits in with corridor, it feels natural.
One more thing I noticed is that the buildings which were added in the The Creator's explosion video are from Kitbash3D.
18:03 You can see the stunt man from the truck have to basically leap to safety while the boardwalk literally starts collapsing under his feet.
I will never tire of seeing Mission Impossible breakdowns. Love that series so much.
One of my favorite shots is in MI:2 when the bad guy tries to stab Tom Cruise’s eyeball.
That franchise is truly a gem. 7 movies in and still going strong.
Just saw mission impossible tonight. It was fantastic.
Was funny just enough, great action sequences, good plotting, great scenery from all over the world.
6:52 the white thing is a water tank
6:30 DAMN!!! Yea, that never should have been done that way. A ton of people were killed in that real life explosion including all the firefighters that were on scene fighting the fire.
With that speed 2 clip, the tin roofing is to me the strongest visual evidence of it being full scale. The sheets bent and twisted and fell in ways that I don't know how you would do with miniatures.
Really thin-cut aluminum foil might act similarly, but sourcing, folding and painting it just to break to bits in a scale miniature would be pretty ludicrous.
@@VariantAECoh there’s people who’ll do it that’s for sure
Remember when Sam made a full tutorial on how to steal personal information, and use AI to impersonate the only person in the team that actually cares about privacy and everyone was like "yeah, that's fine", that was way worse than the beirut footage.
They are also exploiting the footage for a clickbait thumbnail, these guys are just cockroaches
Yes, a joke video which everyone, including that person, cleared, is better than exploiting hundreds of dead people. Absolutely.
@@alalalala57 "joke" video which Jake clearly was uncomfortable with even in the published footage, pretty sure he would've preferred to delete the whole thing, if was forced on him.
Go back and watch his reaction, tell me he was really ok with it
Thanks for pointing out that trailer!
2:55 that was a good one Jordan be proud LMAOO
Really good
The chemestry of these three was so energetic and fun this episode I loved every minute
I just love all the Cosmere t-shirts that wren wears in the videos ❤
At 05:49 with the outline of buildings is something a youtuber has done before and national defense films to give the example of how big and how much devastation would happen. It would be interesting if they also reused that clip from an actual old US nuclear bomb test, if they did it once whats stopping them from using something real twice or three times in the entire film
Im from lebanon, and survived this explosion on aug 4, i remeber it was on 6pm, the most tragic thing that happened, and they just turned that into a movie scene? Like thanks to corridor crew for pointing this out♥️♥️
yes ... so wrong to use the footage that has damaged everyday lives through to now and beyond
I have 0 associations other than being human and that felt extremely "icky". Like, I feel like I need a shower after learning that
16:35 I love when niko said "wow", that's the first time after years of this show, he's really excited on speed 2 behind the scene
I'm so glad you guys reacted to speed2 to that final ship crash scene I myself thought it was real but couldn't figure out if it was a real ship or just the front of it glad you cleared that up it's actually not a bad movie the ending definitely made up for it😅
Was watching Ratatouille and in the beginning when hes going down the sewer the water looks surprisingly good
2:50 Wow, i.. Wow.
That was on POINT
i allready replied
I think another part that makes the mask shots work so well is because masks themselves are uncanny. So if the CG looks uncanny, it actually strengthens the effect.
The Beirut explosion reused for special effects reminds me of the time Telltale Games used a real dead body in one of their video games. In Batman: The Enemy Within, security camera footage shows a dead man, who's copied from media pictures of assassinated Russian ambassador to Turkey Andrei Karlov. I believe they eventually patched it out (which I expect will happen to this movie before it hits theatres), but it was there originally.
Pretty sure Crysis 2's opening cinematic includes riots where people died. That was never patched out though...
@@VariantAEC Hmm... I'd not heard of that one. Do you have a source for that? I'm not sure what to search for, and it's something worth looking into.
@@Malidictus
I don't have a source its just a hunch that then Crytek still a fairly small game developer at the time wasn't paying people to film fake riots. The opening sequence was using real video footage that looked obviously more realistic than what their then Crytek 2 renderer could achieve (even off-line).
The Director addressed this at yesterdays Reddit Q&A. It wasn’t meant to be used in trailer and is not in the actual movie. He says just by way of explanation: the reality is that archival footage is commonly used as reference for temporary VFX.
YOU GOTTA talk about Disney's Jungle Book, "Bare Necessities" scene. The water and bear animation looks AMAZING
