This fight scene seemed much more real with how sloppy it was. no fancy martial arts or slams, just a bunch of awkward fumbling followed by a vicious beatdown.
+Drew Andrewnowski I always thought this and the end fight scene in "Pride and Glory" were the most realistic fight scenes I had seen. Fights are so frantic, especially when it's for your life, usually one guy gets lucky from a misstep.
@@mistertaz94 pretty sure fathers are just like this today as well, go threatan to hurt a tough dads son, dont be suprised when you get beatan to death or at minimum hospitalized too, where the tf do you idiots come from lol ? Pleasantville? lol
Wow! And I thought I'd instantly recognize anyone who had even a small part in the Sopranos. You're right, it's him... that's why he looked a little familiar in Boardwalk.
The Eli plotline was by far the most interesting of season 4. Eli really changed a lot as a character, by the end of the show I sympathized with him the most. Not a good guy by any means but he had humanity. I hope Shea Whigham gets his own starring role in something soon.
A guy gets hit in the head with a vase and the vase stays intact...none of the attacks are coordinated or slick...no cheesy one-liners in the middle of the fight...most of the audio is simply hyperventilation... Realism: 10/10.

@@beesonbandit6639 nah trust me ones like that are much harder to break than you would expect. There are certain weak points and if you hit it with something that concentrates the force (like glass breakers on the end of tactical knives) it is more likely to break but using it like shown here it would very likely stay intact.
Roger Edmonds Dude, that first punch he got on Knox was so fucking satisfying the first time I watched this episode. He let all of his pent up rage and frustration out on Knox and I don't blame him at all for it.
That's how it goes when your adrenaline is through the roof. One time, my neighbour held me under the water in my pool for at least a minute, when I was somewhere between 10-12 years old. I'll never forget what happened after I came up from the water. I punched him 5 times in the head, all hooks from a square stance (had no skill). The dialogue on the beat of each punch was as follows; -bitch -bitch, you -son of a -fuckin' -bitch. He took a few steps away and then turned around, and I could see the shock on his face. I said "Your nose is bleeding", in a matter-of-fact tone. He checked for the blood with his hand, and then looked at me with an even more shocked expression (I imagine the pool water dilution would have exaggerated the quantity of blood, but it looked like a lot). He hopped out of the pool, walked over to his front door in silence, and told his mum he had accidentally overshot his butterfly stroke, and slammed his nose on the rim of the pool.
Very true, he's always in the shadow of the other actors' flashier performances, but he might be the unsung mvp of the series. Pretty cool that Eli survives all 5 season, he grew into one of my top 5 characters after watching the series twice.
Couldn't agree with you more. I liked his character development too. In the early seasons he was quite annoying in the fact that he was always trying to compete with his brother (which is only natural, I guess), but that lessened as the seasons went on.
He is Eli to me, i don't see the actor when i watch him. First time i watched the show i completely missed how amazing he was because when i watched him act, i was so drawn in that i couldn't think about anything but the story.
I find these kind of scenes far more terrifying and disturbing then any knife or bullet to the head execution scene, this is literally two guys beating one another and one killing the other with his bear hands, it is messy, disturbing, exhausting to watch and quite pulse racing material.
“Shot caller” has a brutal stabbing scene where the guy who plays the punisher from the punisher and the asshole best friend from the first couple of seasons of walking dead gets shanked hard.
@@thomasjust2663 Eli was tough as fac, had heart, balls, charisma an was zero bullchit Which makes him a MUCH better person than knox Knox had none of those traits
My respect for Eli increased tenfold after this scene. I thought for sure he'd become a pussy cooperator and eventually would enjoy ratting on Nucky. Now he's instantly jumped in my top 3 characters on this show.
When he says “My son..my fucking son!” As he’s choking him..I got goosebumps lol such a well acted out performance..makes you feel his rage perfectly and understand how much he loved his son/family
Shea Wigham irradiated rage to one of the most realistic extents I have seen from any actor. His first fight with Nucky, when he attacks his son for dropping out and this scene. Guy absolutely owned it.
Absolutely. Wingam continues to be one of the most overlooked actors in Hollywood. I've always enjoyed every role he's in. He always brings a large amount of nuance that makes even the smallest characters he plays stand out. I really enjoyed his role in the Agent Carter tv show.
Absolutely not. There were multiple fight ending shots that landed that had little to no effect. He had a gun to his head and somehow he manages to turn around and load up his punch? It's entertaining but not realistic
Exactly, it's entertaining as fuck but face first through the glass furniture and massive blunt force trauma etc they would have both been vegetables or deid in a timely fashion
I would have died because I would have needed to call a timeout and look for a cold drink from the fridge after panting for 5 minutes, slumped over with my hands on my knees.
Lets not forget that Eli went to prison, put up with Nucky's shit, then this... I mean he was a ticking timebomb. Can't wait to see him on season five.
The thing is with season 5, at the beginning there's a time jump to the early 1930's during the Great Depression... So everything's kinda different now. Eli shows up in season 5 already tho (been 2 episodes), he's working for George Mueller aka Nelson Van Alden, who works for Al Capone. They haven't shown much of him, nor revealed what happened after he killed Knox. I am liking season 5 so far though, I'm sure the rest will be great. Also they have flashbacks to Nucky's childhood in 1884 which is very interesting. Gillian's also in some kind of mental facility.
I’m the man WHOS GONNA FUCKING KILL YOU! This whole scene is what makes boardwalk empire so goddamn good. Every scene feels realistic and when it came to the fighting it got disturbing which is what it was meant to do. Eli granted he wasn’t the most loyal he was always the one to protect his family.
You can tell Knox regretted a little like right when he realized he was gonna get choked out he thought to himself damn, can’t talk about peoples kids 😅
some of the best actors were cast for this and Sopranos hands down. even a movie cant entertain this much at times. a real fight scene doesnt get more realistic than this. bravo actors and director
Even though I've seen this before and know how it ends my heart still races watching it. This may be the most emotionally intense murder I've even seen on film. I wanted eli to keep him alive long enough to fully think about why he's about to die.
Agent Tolliver at one point had an understandable objective of taking down Organized Crime, but goddammit dude when you get yourself involved with someone's family and the possible threat of destroying their well-being, you don't deserve to be alive.
The guy was never a straight law enforcement officer, he was also a criminal himself. During the scene where they intercept Lansky's heroin shipment he flat out murders that one truck driver.
@@cesarg2768 Beat me to it. Eli used to flex and abuse his authority as well. and it was mostly because he was Nucky Thompson's brother, i.e. someone that actually ran things.
Whoever this guy is in real-life, he played the fuck out of his character because I could not stand his ass! ( That's how you know he is a good actor.)
This is one of my favorite all time tv fight scenes and it even surpassed Bobby Vs Tony IMHO. Shea Whigham is such a badass actor! He deserved an award for this performance alone. Those of us who watched this show as it first aired years back had waited all season to see this. Knox got destroyed!
Knox gets off on feeling powerful. Watching him crumble and suffer after he's lost the upper hand, knowing he is powerless to stop the violent and bloody end that's coming, that's cruelty. But it is karma at it's most basic and brutal.
S4 brought a lot of life into Boardwalk Empire, by infusing more life into Eli, Richard's, and Chalky's stories. Eli really became one of my favorites towards the end of the year. One could sympathize with his position in a lot of ways. Backed into a corner, damned if he does or doesn't. I can't wait to see him and Nelson Van Alden together this sunday!
You can only push a man that far. It doesn’t always have to be this dramatic but the principle stands. Keep that in mind when you’re pushing someone’s buttons for your own amusement.
I always felt that this was the most exciting and tense fight scene in the entire series. Chalky vs Dunn from Season 4 is a very close runner up. It's almost a coin flip but I give the prize to this scene because his family being there bring the tension up to 11! I mean really! Imagine Your Husband, or Father engaging in a fight to death Right before your eyes .
lol everyone's arm chair killer in the comments. in reality, you would just stare at your feet, don't kid yourself. not that it's a bad thing, murdering people over threats we wouldn't have lasted long.
That is one solid ass vase, that definitely wasn't bought off wish, that's old world construction built to last. That thing took 2 solid hits and then crushed a mans skull, genuine cyrstal
I think we ALL fantasized about doing that to Knox. The epitome of the arrogant "I'm-A-Federal-Agent-And-Can-Do-Whatever-I-Want" FBI guy........which WAS pretty much standard in the post-WWI anti-Red hysteria. But this is as much due to the acting ability of Geraghty as well. KUDOS to Brian Geraghty, you magnificent SOB! lol. You're right up there with other 'villains' you just want to mangle and kill. 😁
If you wanna get technical, the anti-Red sentiment didn’t really gain traction until after the second war. Yes, it was there beforehand, but nowhere near as permeated through the zeitgeist of the 50’s onwards.
This fight scene is one of the most realistic I've ever seen,especially towards the end when he is trying to get the gun and you can feel the desperation
Doug Spizman ummmm.... yes. One thing they get wrong are the head shots. While some head shots will result in a straight clean drop others will result in a lot of involuntary spasms (think - chicken with its head cut off). All of the head shots in this series drop the victim quietly.
@@dougspizman6751 As someone who works as a sound designer for film productions pretentious morons like you are the reason why we don't get enough credit. Yes we take our jobs seriously especially when we improvise and create our own sound effects. Just shut up and stop pretending you know things.
@@Pulang_Diwa i didn't suggest any of the things u stated. Nor am i the reason u dont get credit. Ur obviously taking out ur anger on the wrong person. However if i offended u that wasnt my intention.
Damn!! This scene always get me!! At first it makes me wanna cry, then I get happy when Eli overcomes and then chokes him and then continues to smash his face in
This was such a good scene... just the noses the actor Eli plays makes, it’s not just a life or death fight, for him it’s personal. Especially when he gots on top and starts given him some
I think that it was personal that started the fight, but what compelled them to fight so hard was that it was a life or death fight once it started. If Eli hadn't killed Knox he would have most likely killed him or worse put him and his son in jail for the rest of their lives.
I love that Eli interrupted the little shit in the middle of his speech. He was just another cowardly bully who thought that being cruel somehow made him special.
Nothing like the savage fury of a father protecting his son.
I absolutely love this scene!
Redcom001 Savage fury indeed
Thats why you skip the bullshit... Shoot the fker arrest his son so the son can get fked in the ass and bada bing. But that wouldnt make a great show huh...
Except the savage fury of a father protecting his daughter.
It's so GREAT. I "hated" Agent Knox
Ummmmm, threatening a former cop by telling him his son is gonna get raped in prison is an interesting tactic.........
a former cop who also had been to prison himself. pretty sure he had heard some rapes goin on . lmao great tactic indeed
That's why you cuff him first then taunt him that way if he gets crazy and out for blood he can't do anything with his hands cuffed from behind when will the feds learn the cops get it right but the feds never learn

I bet when his wife saw them fighting she was probably like “Wow, he really didn’t want to buy that insurance policy.”

No, just the only accurately portrayed vase smashing you've ever witnessed. They don't break in one hit like in all other media.
Watching this scene for the first time was so tense, I had no idea who was going to win
The agent graduated from the school of Hard Knox.
If you ever walk into a mans house and try to kill him, in his own home... you better not miss 🤷🏽♂️
That suction sound on the second to last punch is a real sound when the skull is extremely fractured, someone did their research.
LOL okay bro. They got reasearch on the sound a skull makes if u punch it until it fractures?
Doug Spizman ummmm.... yes. One thing they get wrong are the head shots. While some head shots will result in a straight clean drop others will result in a lot of involuntary spasms (think - chicken with its head cut off). All of the head shots in this series drop the victim quietly.
@@dougspizman6751 As someone who works as a sound designer for film productions pretentious morons like you are the reason why we don't get enough credit. Yes we take our jobs seriously especially when we improvise and create our own sound effects. Just shut up and stop pretending you know things.
@@Pulang_Diwa i didn't suggest any of the things u stated. Nor am i the reason u dont get credit. Ur obviously taking out ur anger on the wrong person. However if i offended u that wasnt my intention.
@@dougspizman6751 Yeah it was the way you said it sounded sarcastic and negative, the LOL okay bro.
Just to let you know where you sounded different.
Damn!! This scene always get me!! At first it makes me wanna cry, then I get happy when Eli overcomes and then chokes him and then continues to smash his face in
Shout out to that vase shit strong as hell 😂
Love this scene, brutal emotion and defense over your son. You felt every punch thrown
The best Eli scene ever.
Loved Eli btw
A masterpiece, the acting (Camera Work/Direction/writing) was AMAZZIN.
Gotta love those Victorian/Edwardian era vases.
You see...People can be persuaded if you just talk to them in the right way.
easily one of the most satisfying deaths in the whole entire show
This is a perfect example of how corrupt members of law enforcement, who abuse their power, should be dealt with
The same to Eli
@@dylangodoy5832 Of course, just saying.
He wasn't corrupted tho
@@theimmortalgrenadier3851 Wdymean
Eli has some serious issues, but his family comes first...
My 1st time seeing this scene I legit rewatched it 5 times classic.
This was such a good scene... just the noses the actor Eli plays makes, it’s not just a life or death fight, for him it’s personal. Especially when he gots on top and starts given him some
you mean noise's right?
I think that it was personal that started the fight, but what compelled them to fight so hard was that it was a life or death fight once it started. If Eli hadn't killed Knox he would have most likely killed him or worse put him and his son in jail for the rest of their lives.
Good job Eli.A fucking good job.
Shea Wigham owned this role. Eli was such a good character!
I love that Eli interrupted the little shit in the middle of his speech. He was just another cowardly bully who thought that being cruel somehow made him special.
Eli gave the most severe beatings on this show.
Isn't that kind of awkward how the wife just went back upstairs while they continue to fight LMAO
Nah just a REAL WOMAN who knows her man and the best thing is to keep kids from seeing it
Sometimes, recognising shit you don't wanna have any of, and deciding you ain't havin' that shit, is a virtue.
I think she's going up to make sure that her kids don't come and see what's happening.
yeah , just put it out of sight and crossed her fingers... thanks babe
The 1920’s!!
Taunt a man’s family like that, what did he expect Eli to do? Just stand there and let him clap him in irons?
Love this scene.. Thanks for uploading
The rage of Eli is so epic
I wonder what he did with knox's body, because we learn in a scene where the Fed's raid the club that they found it.
I love the closing music at the end of the scene!! Comedic GOLD!
One of THE best fight scenes in tv show history...HANDS DOWN!
