    "Villainy wears many masks, none so dangerous as the mask of virtue."
    Fun Fact: Johnny Depp adopted Goldeneye, the horse that played Gunpowder, Ichabod Crane's horse in this film, when he heard it was going to be put down.
    Action Actor Fact: Johnny Depp did all of his own stunts for the final scene where he is dragged by the horse. He had bullet-proof clothing underneath his wardrobe.
    Historical Fact: Washington Irving claimed that Ichabod Crane and Katrina Van Tassel were real people. Ichabod Crane was based on Colonel Ichabod Bennet Crane, who was born in 1787 and fought in the War Of 1812. Washington Irving and Colonel Ichabod Crane had met in 1814 at Fort Pike located on Lake Ontario in Sackets Harbor, New York.

    The guy playing the Headless Horseman (sans head) was none other than Ray Park, the guy who played Darth Maul in the Phantom Menace. That's why the choreography in the fight scenes was so good. Kinda funny that there was another actor in this who was also in TPM (Ian McDiarmid - Palpatine).

    Something about Johnny Depp that makes him even more amazing to me is that he doesn’t take himself at all seriously as an actor. He’s physically beautiful but he’s more than willing to act the fool. I’ve heard it said that Johnny Depp is a character actor trapped in a leading man’s body and I think that is so true. I read that when Robin Williams was asked if there was any actor that he wanted to work with but hadn’t yet, he immediately named Johnny Depp. Wouldn’t that have been wonderful??! He said that Depp was absolutely fearless as far as comedy was concerned…high praise from a master. High praise, indeed!!!

    The headless horseman was played by Ray Park (Darth Maul from Star Wars The Phantom Menace), who wore a green screen mask over his head so that it could be digitally removed in post-production. The collar of the costume was also CG to help mask the transition between the practical costume and digital head removal.
    All of the severed heads were practical props as well. They spent a massive part of the budget to make sure each severed head matched its actor in great detail. I don't remember which cast member it was, but one of them was allowed to keep their head, which they then used to traumatize their wife at home, by placing it in the fridge.

    FANTASTIC REACTION, YALL!!!
    Some trivia time…
    The scene’s where Ichabod is being dragged behind the carriage, the Headless Horseman was… great action sequences. They were all filmed on a strip of a set, so basically, it’s a set of a part of a road. It was not very long. All of the trees were decorated and set. What you saw was the genius of Tim Burton and the Cinematographer. He used so many inventive ways to use camera angles to create the entire sequence. You would never know you are seeing the same strip of a set, using the coach, horses, everything. It looks like a real dirt road that went on for miles! Also, when Johnny Depp was being dragged, he was running a fever and was sick but he knew they needed to get the shots so he pushed on ahead.
    Johnny always keeps one thing from each movie he does. With this film, he kept the Iron Madden that Lisa Marie was killed in.
    The complete town was built for this film. AMAZING Art/Set decorations! After the filming, the crew has to put the whole area back to the way it was before they started building the sets. The people in the area asked them to keep the Windmill, but legally they couldn’t.
    A LOT of the imagery you saw from Burton’s direction came from Disney’s “Ichabod and Mr. Toad”. It’s a shortened cartoon that tells the same tale. The shot where Brom Bones was acting as if he was the Headless Horseman to scare Ichabod is straight from Disney. The Horseman holding a flaming, carved pumpkin and throwing it at Ichabod’s head? From Disney.
    The idea of throwing a flaming pumpkin and hitting his prey is from Washington Irving. Whoever gets hit goes into a coma and dies. If they don’t die, they awaken with a “super” power.
    A friend of mine wrote a trilogy of books called, “Rise Headless and Ride: The Jason Crane Series”. It is set in today with Jason, who is the Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great Grandson of Ichabod Crane. His parents are dead, so he lives with his Granny. She moves them Sleepy Hollow where Jason has to go to school with the bully football player who is the Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great Grandson of Brom Bones. My friend moved to Sleepy Hollow to get everything correct, the names of the streets, where building are, where the bridge is, etc. He was given special permission to have access to the Historical Society that over sees all of Washington Irving’s life. He wrote me into book Three and HE DIDN’T KILL ME OFF!! My character got to live on!
    He has now moved to Salem. He is taking the same characters and is writing of the Witch Trials.
    The books are on Audible…

      Little Known Fact about the Headless Horseman, it's actuall MUCH older than the War For Independence... True, the Story of Icabad Crane and the Headless Horseman came from there and then, but the mythology of the Headless Horseman dates back even farther to old Celtics myths. Irish and Danish mythology has the "Dullahan” also known then as “Gan Ceann". It's HOW the Headless Horseman from Sleepy Hollow rose back up to Search for his head. Fun Facts.

    It was originally going to be a slasher film involving teenagers getting stranded in Sleepy Hollow and encountering someone dressed like the Headless Horseman but later learn it's the REAL Headless Horseman.
    Before Johnny Depp was cast as Ichabod Crane, Daniel Day Lewis, Liam Neeson and Leonardo DiCaprio were considered for the role.
    Marlon Brando was going to play the Headless Horseman but was replaced by Christopher Walken.
    Winona Ryder was considered to play Katrina Van Tassel until Christina Ricci was cast.

Same story style where a young man moves from the East Coast to the Wild West for a job and ends up an outlaw. Complete fish-out-of-water story where he's a coward at the beginning and transforms at the end. You can totally see what Depp took from the character and planted in Sleepy Hollow.

    The Headless horse man in both this movie & the original novel of sleepy hollow is based on an actual Celtic mythology of an entity in Ireland known by a couple of names, eg The Dullahan , Crom Dubh/ Black Tom, who is the Original Headless HorseMan & is a part of the Unseelie Court( Court of Dark Fairies). In the original stories / Myths, the only way to keep the Dullahan away is to have a piece of pure gold on you, regardless of whatever form it is, ie a hair pin, pendant, cross, pentacle, coin etc. as long as you have a piece of pure gold on your person & in some telling, where the piece of gold can be seen on you, the Dullahan is so terrified at the sights gold it keeps him away completely.

    You can visit Sleepy Hollow by Metro North train from Manhattan. The cemetery, church, and bridge (no longer covered). Sleepy Hollow is a Dutch settlement in near Spuyten Duyvill Bridge ("spitting Devil" in Dutch).
    Actor Christopher Lee, who plays the magistrate assigning Ichabod Crane to the village of Sleepy Hollow, is seated on the magistrate's bench, which appears to have "bat wings" emerging from the sides. It is Tim Burton's nod to the actor's famous dracula roles from the 1960's.
    New York was originally named New Amsterdam when the Dutch settled there in the 1600's. It was renamed for the then Duke of York when the British took over the land during the Revolutionary War.

    When it came out people decried it a little because of the brightness of the blood. "They could have made it look more natural" was the reasoning. While I don't know if that was confirmed by Tim Burton, but years later people have began to speculate that this was a homage to the old Hammer Horror movies. They were the first prominent horror movies in colour and they made the blood extra bright for contrast and effect.
    Of course it was intentional to begin with and made for a great effect. Sometimes people overlook things like that at first.

    @AWhistlingWolf Před 3 měsíci +1

    On the topic of mysterious beheadings (yikes) I truly hope some studio makes a film about Nahanni Valley, also known as The Valley of The Headless Men. It's a natural park area in Canada, a huge valley inside a canyon 130 km long (80 miles), surrounded by cliffs 1 km high (3300 feet). There is only one entrance at the south, and there are barely any areas free of trees or hills where helicopters could land, none for airplanes.
    Over the centuries there have been mysterious events. The valley was the home of the Naha people (hence the name), a native tribe known for raiding and pillaging their neighbors, who lived around the canyon. One day, for unknown reasons, the entire Naha all disappeared just like that. Locals tell stories of dangerous spirits that inhabitate that region.
    Over the past 200 years, several expeditions have disappeared in the valley, appeared brutally murdered, or even appeared decapitated -the heads were never found- like explorer brothers Willie McLeod and Frank McLeod in 1908, who were looking for gold mines, disappeared, and their headless bodies were later found in the valley, their belongings still with them but their heads never to be found.
    In 1946 geologists Frank Henderson and John Patterson explored the valley and split up, agreeing to meet back at the entrance a few weeks later. Henderson showed up but Patterson never appeared again. Henderson came back to the valley with a search party, wanting to rescue Patterson wherever he was. The first night the party camped inside Nahanni, a group of First Nations natives approached them in the middle of the night, and told them that "everyone had to leave immediately", as the natives had seen "white figures" roaming the valley, looking for them.

    one thing to remembering in the source material Ichabod Crane was a school master and the Hessian/headless horseman is played by Christopher Walken

    Produced by Francis Ford Coppola, and directed by Tim Burton? This movie is as gothic as it could be! 😂We don't get much gothic romance films nowadays, so this movie holds a special place in my heart 👍

    I absolutely love old Tim Burton's films. They had their own absolutely authentic gloomy atmosphere, into which you are completely immersed. All modern works are mainly rendered using computer graphics, which are very visible and spoil the whole feeling of realism.

    This is my second favorite Tim Burton film. My all time favorite being Batman (mostly because of Jack Nicholson).

    Ichabod has great detective skills but I think his disposition is more suited to traffic and parking than homicide.
    Johnny Depp plays a much more experienced homicide detective in "From Hell" very loosely based on the story of Jack the Ripper. Not a bad movie but very interesting who plays his partner.

    You may not have recognized Christopher Walken as the Headless Horseman. It was him throughout the movie. They just digitally removed his head. Having been born in 1977 and having grown up in the 70's through 90's, I've seen LOTS of Christopher Walken's movies. You two should check him out and see if there are some future reaction videos you can do with some of his movies.

    • @myroselle6987
      @myroselle6987 Před 6 měsíci +4

      Walker is wonderful but I believe they did use body doubles as well. A riding stunt man, Ray Park, was actually in the saddle when the headless horseman’s head was off. My understanding is that Walken didn’t like horses much and was afraid of them. He said they didn’t like him..lol! A reaction to The Deer Hunter would be interesting. I have trouble watching that movie but I might be able to watch a reaction. The Russian Roulette scenes are horrific to me…

      Actually Ray Park was the Stunt double as the Headless Horseman. Look it up and you'll see the photos. Christopher Walken played the Hessian Horseman pre-headless. 👍

    I love this movie and I haven't seen many reactions to it. I was excited to stumble upon your channel and see it in your uploads! Excellent reaction and I appreciate your discussions about the movie making process and storytelling. I suspect you've seen A Nightmare on Elm Street, so I'll suggest From Hell as the next Depp movie to check out. And check out The Dead Zone for more Christopher Walken, or you could go with The Deer Hunter. Walken won a best supporting actor Oscar for that one, but, man, it's a grim movie.

    34:43 He could see just fine. Ray Park was wearing a blue ski mask the whole time so they could edit his head out of the film. The most use of CGI in the film was simply to fill in the collar to his suit wherever it got obscured by the head.

    My mom and me watched this movie hundred's of times growing up! We could laugh and count how many times Ichabod fainted throughout the movie, making a game out of it. 😆
    Out of all the scenes that were supposed to be scary for a kid, the only part that freaked me out as a 7 year old was having to kiss The Headless Horseman, other than that, haha, I would fine. I always loved watching the behind the scenes, special effects and how movies are made.

  • @xandergrim7226
    @xandergrim7226 Před 2 měsíci

    Johnny Depp was in his mid thirties when he acted in this movie and his love intrest,Christina Ricci, was in her late teens(19 i think). So it would have been kinda weird to have them both full on kiss.

    @barrymoreblue Před rokem

    I went and saw it in the theaters with my family. It was *highly* anticipated, lol. Assigned seating still wasn’t a thing (just ordering tickets early on Fandango lol), so you had to show up super early if you wanted good seats.
    I’m not sure what their actual age difference is, but I always thought of Christina Ricci as being way too young to be JD’s love interest. I still saw her as a child (even though she’s older than me), cuz of The Addams Family and Casper lol. She just has a very youthful face.

  • @crealkillr
    @crealkillr Před 9 měsíci +1

    The only thing i dont like is the ending. Although he solves the mystery, the police he goes back to has no intention of using "criminology" to solve crimes. Its much easier to just throw people in jail and forget about them. Ichabod now has a wife and "son", but can still be thrown in jail any time if they wanted. It ends the mystery, but nothing in the city changed.

  • @lescobar195
    @lescobar195 Před rokem

    I remember wanting to see this movie when I was a kid, especially after seeing the Disney cartoon. It was on TV one day, but it was on pay-per-view or we didn't carry the channel. I could barely see the movie, so I decided to keep the TV on to mainly listen to it in the background. I listened to audiobooks growing up, so I figured I could make it work.

    • @OfficialMediaKnights

    • @lescobar195
      @lescobar195 Před rokem

      ​@@OfficialMediaKnights I was in my parents' room that day; I think I went as far as Johnathan Masbath's death scene. I didn't finish the film, but we eventually got the VHS from a Columbia House catalog, I believe.
