I saw Warrior in 2012 on HBO and it just blew me away. One of the best family sport stories of all time! That scene with Nick Nolte might be the greatest acting job of all time. It was so heartbreaking I felt sick.
Wish I could Heart this comment ❤️
Lost my father to the same cancer.
I loved Nolte in this film, too. He felt really realistic. An ex-abusive father who's now just a lonely old geezer, carrying years of regret.
I just can't believe how undervalued this movie is. It's an all-time great movie. I've recommended this movie to so many people.
As a guy who has had real issues with my father throughout my life, this movie hit very close to home. There's something that can't be described about the frustration you feel with a father who has supposedly "turned himself around" but who has also never been held responsible for any of the awful things he did in the past.
See, the real problem is that their face doesn't change. So every time you look at them, all you see is the same face of the person who hurt you all those years ago. So you want to do the right thing and forgive them but that means you have to look at them and every time you do, you get memories of the bad stuff coming back again.
And it sucks because it makes you feel like a bad person since they expect you to just get over it but trying to do so only makes you more angry and resentful. So you end up being a 'bad' son because it's just easier.
I kinda understand that cuz I was real angry at the guy that shot and killed my cousin for awhile after he got out. Seeing them around town made me so angry but at the end of the day i was just hurting myself by not letting it go. It wnt be easy but it will be infinitely better to move on then to let anybody control your emotions like that
It’s kind of absurd how these two were sympathizing with Nick Nolte and chastising Tommy talking about how he needs to move on, he should feel bad for making Nick Nolte falling off the wagon, and shaming Tommy the entire movie for harboring resentment. My father is a drug addict and alcoholic who I watched beat my mother as a kid. I lost my little brother to CPS 18 years ago and still don’t know where he is. My dad used to hit me all the time. Last time I saw him was August 18, 2008 and I hit him in the face three times and left for basic training the next day…haven’t seen him since. Their disposition towards shaming Tommy and feeling bad for Nick Nolte drove me nuts because anyone who has ever been through something like that, it is nearly insurmountable and the pain, damage, and psychological issues are life long. What you said was absolutely perfect.
@@chadd3299 I guess. I just feel like harboring hate just hurts you more then them especially when they are trying to change but to each their own
Same my pops used to beat the shit out of me and curse whilst yelling at me. Had me f'd up for a while till I found out that his father treated him even worse. It was the transfer of generational trauma and pain. The resentment went on for years and I couldn't stand his face but we managed to talk man to man and I forgave him. He regretted his actions and genuinely seeked forgiveness. At the end of the day, my relationship with him is strong and I've always appreciated how he took care of his family. Despite his actions, he coached me when I did Taekwondo and everyday I had a warm meal. Its better to forgive, let go and have a good talk with your pops otherwise the memories will always bother you.
the same me. I come from a dysfunctional home, with abusive and violent parents, I grew up suffering abandonment and violence, I harbored hatred towards them for a long time but not anymore because I realized that they made me stronger, more fit. I'm not justifying them, it's just that I decide to extract gold from the trash. Every abuse you suffer in life makes you tougher, it makes you a survivor, it places you several steps higher on the evolutionary ladder, then you stop feeling guilt, shame and self-loathing for what happened to you, you realize that you have "superpowers" then the hatred towards those who hurt you loses strength. Perhaps the message of this movie is that your past shapes you and makes you who you are and if you suffered a lot and survived you become a warrior.
Rip Anthony “Rumble” Johnson
Nick Nolte absolutely Deserved Awards for his performance. He was incredible
Not to disagree, Nolte is fantastic, but he basically played Nick Nolte. He's like Bruce Willis. I love his movies, but he's pretty much a one-note actor. Still, fantastic movie, I was glued to the screen the first time I watched it.
I want to hit like on this comment...but right now it's at 69 likes...so...

NOOOOOOO!!!@@that80ssongyoulove84
When the Marines sang Tommy to the ring. Chills EVERY SINGLE TIME
I don't know anything about fighting, but this film touched me because of how it was with my dad. When I got older, and at some point realized I don't hate him anymore, it was like a big chunk of pain was pulled out of my heart, and then it just dissolved in the atmosphere. Forgiveness is not favour for other peole, it's a gift for yourself.
This is such a beautiful film i remember the promotional campaign when it was coming out. They did a whole "What do you fight for," promotion. It is such a beautiful film about all the negative things we hold on to - hate, anger, resentment, guilt, shame - and what it takes for some of us to let go of it all. The ending brings tears every time, right when the music starts i can feel it coming. The look on Brendan's face as he puts his gloves up for the last round. The first cut to Paddy, and he's got this look of like, "Did i bring this on my son's? Did my failure as a father also drive them apart?" And then of course when Brendan is telling Tommy "I'm sorry... Tap Tommy.. It's okay. It's okay. I love you. I love you, Tommy." It's just so powerful 🤍✊
I saw this movie in the theater when it came out and it was amazing. You see how these guys went down different paths in life and it even shows up in their fighting styles. Tommy is all strength and wins quick by knockout. Brendan is technical and wins by submission. In the end they needed to fight it out and deal with their emotions. I love how in the last round we already knew who won but that wasn't what we needed to see. We needed to see Tommy at aside his anger and forgive his brother. The slow music playing while the crowd is roaring is so different from what you'd usually expect but it works great. And seeing the big brother carry his little brother away and protecting him from the crowd as they just both break down crying is amazing.
FAVORITE PART: final tap where the song "about today" plays and brandon tells tommy he loves him (i cry every time). FAVORITE FIGHT: has to be Koba - "...if you don't knock him out, you don't have a home"
« Kurt Angle won his gold medals for the US in 1996 », WITH A BROKEN FREAKIN NECK!!
"You Suck!" ... LOL
And that is why he is legendary.
Its True. It's DAMN TRUE!
If only they had him drink milk in the movie 😂
6:05 ~ Pretty sure you mean Chuck Liddell
I was going to say that, lol.
Warrior was such a great film especially since the marketing wasn't very strong. Nick Nolte was nominated for Best Actor at the Oscars but lost to Christopher Plummer that year. Tom Hardy really gave his role some serious rawness which really polarized his brothers' personality. Very different characters with very similar core values but the film emphasized what happens when people take different paths to deal with their problems. It was awesome to see that Brendan's maturity helped guide Tommy's character arc from resentful and angry to forgiving and understanding. In the end a fantastic message of family and never giving up inside or outside of the ring.
Joel Edgarton looks like the perfect -- and I mean PERFECT - Yugioh polymerization morph of Chael Sonnen and Matt Hughes (two UFC fighters with oddly similar faces). It's freaking wild lol.
And Justin Gaethje
Absolutely love this film its easily in my top 5 Sport/Drama films. Nick Nolte ,Joel Edgerton and Tom Hardy put in phenomenal performances.
Damn Bryan catching strays. He's actually pretty good friends with Rogan.
I was thinking the same thing
Saw this in the movie theater on a whim, and was blown away. It's so damn good. Fantastic performances, music, etc. Such an under-seen/underappreciated film.
Love your reaction when Tommy first walks out of the cage... They made Tommy the perfect amount of savage in this movie 😅
Not only one of my all-time favorite sports movies, but one of my all-time favorites. I get emotional so many times watching it, especially the final scene/fight.
That ending to Warrior made me cry with the music and the brothers embracing.
Makes me tear up every time.
First time I watched this movie, I couldn't believe it was 2h20m long... the time FLEW by. I was so invested in the story and the characters... such an amazing movie, one of my all time favorites. Nick Nolte was absolutely BRILLIANT
Nick Nolte made this movie, he was the pivot point for the two brothers...and he was battling his own demons, demons that resurfaced when Tommy walked back into his life - his greatest performance since Affliction.
i've never been more excited for a movie reaction than this.... one of my all-time favorites. i wish i had seen this in the theater when it came out but only found out about it a year later through word of mouth
I always loved that they portrayed Koba as a monster in the ring but he was just a guy doing his job and it's all sown by that simple touch of gloves at the beginning
Great movie, and one hell of an emotional one. Can't get through the finale with dry eyes.
P.S. The DVD cover really stupidly spoiled the outcome of the final fight, for anyone who knew the overall plot or saw the trailer, by showing the image of Brendan holding Tommy in his arms escorting him out of the ring.
I freaking love this movie. This movie got through the Poole process to join the Marines.
It’s a great story, amazing acting and great songs by The National. Gets me emotional every time!
Nice to see Jake McLaughlin in this movie he hardly ever plays a main character in movies but i do like his acting even if he is just a side character and seing him in as a military man is appropriate because before he started acting he was in the US army as a dismount infantry squad automatic weapon gunner. He was part of the 3rd infantry division deployed. So much respect to him
I was going for Tommy but as the Elton John song goes "You had to lose so you could win."
Tom Hardy is a legit MMA fighter. His chosen discipline is Brazilian jiu-jitsu and regularly enters completions as himself. His most recent was in 2022 which he entered under his real name Edward Hardy and he finished 1st in his category. He really is a genuine talented fighter
Anthony Johnson played the black gentlemen that Joel Edgerton fought in the first round of the big tournament, he was a famous UFC fighter who passed away a couple years ago.
I’m so happy you guys watched this movie, lol I mentioned it every time you guys watched a Rocky in the comments, thank you this is one of my favorite movies and you guys have some of the funnest movie reactions.
Also
R.I.P Anthony Johnson real life mma fighter who played midnight in the movie
6:43 that "oh" I feel for you brother, I feel.
Nick Nolte has been breaking my heart since I first saw him in Rich Man, Poor Man in 1976 as Tom Jordache. He’s so good that I hate when he does stuff that doesn’t make full use of his range and power; from comedy to drama, he’s just so damn good.
RIP Anthony Johnson, hell of a fighter. (the guy who plays Midnight)
You guys should watch Here Comes the Boom with Kevin James. It's kinda like Warrior only it's hilarious 😆
Absolutely! It's the hilarious version of this. With the Fonz even!
Hey you guys. So happy you are doing a reaction show on martial arts. As a professional and life long martial artist/ Mma fighter, I really appreciated the authenticity of this film.It's a absolute classic! Awesome show as always!😎👍🏽🥋
RIP Anthony "Rumble" Johnson 27:45
There are plenty of fighters who carried on and won with popped shoulders. Thanks for doing the reaction. Its an enjoyable movie.
To redeem my 2 previous mistakes you kept mentioning ufc, R.I.P. to Anthony "Rumble" Johnson the actor who played midnight a legit UFC fighter and I believe champion who tragically passed away
A wonderful performance by an Aussie and a Brit in the lead roles as brothers
32:16 Bruh, I can't re-watch this film simply because of that scene right there... it felt so real and raw... I felt like it was something I should have not seen, I felt connected and disconnected... like I understand the pain, the sorrow, the feeling but at the same time I went through that and now I am watching (I know it fiction but I can bet you my LIFE there were moments like that, that happened to people in real life including myself.) somebody going through what I went through, but it's not for me to see it's not my life and it brought back some unpleasant memories. But the real reason is that it just felt very realistic to the point where I just wanted to walk out from that room just not see what happening, just close my eyes on it and let him deal with it, it's not my fight. I been through that fight now let them go through it themselves, I hope you know what I mean by this. But this scene, man... it just painful to watch, so well acted by both but especially Nolte, he killed it... I don't remember who won an Academy Award that year but this scene alone deserved him all the awards in my opinion... Tom Hardy was almost equally as good as Nolte (Still good don't get me wrong) but Nolte was revelation and was a stand out in almost every scene he was in this film. This scene always made me cry my eyes out and not many movies make me cry but this one did it.
Great brother drama. You should follow this up with The Iron Claw.
For sure they would let that last fight continue IMO. An event with no weight classes and 4 fights in 2 nights is not looking to stop their winner take all finale. If the ref was told and he called the doctor in sure but otherwise no one is looking for reasons to stop the fight. Great reaction!
I went watching this at the cinema... not enough people talk about this film... my favourite fight in the film is Brendan v Koba, Kirt Angle has never looked so menacing
This is one of my favorite movies!!! Such a masterpiece, it hits me hard every time. Everyone did an incredible job.
the sign where tommy sobered up his father, im guessing that wasnt his first time doing that
Not a fan of UFC but this is a brilliant movie and loved your reactions to it. The Tommy fights were great as Tom Hardy just looks so menacing but the Brendan Koba fight was intense even knowing the likely outcome. Great fight choreography, great story telling with just the right amount of sentimentality and really glad you enjoyed it. Knowing Nick Nolte's history with alcohol abuse made his character's story, and his brilliant performance, quite memorable and always moving no matter how many times I watch it. His falling off the wagon scene breaks my heart.
I actually thought was really good and shows the brutality of MMA.
Also at 26:00 when Mrs. Movies talks about recommending movies to someone is one of the funniest things i’ve seen. Especially since it was Sinister a movie she hates very much. 😂
@6:02 the guy with the mohawk she probably thinking of is Chuck the iceman Liddell
This movie is fantastic, Nick Nolte should've been nominated for something for his performance. LOL The Mrs. calling Mr. about having makeup done on him. "I've been there" "No you haven't"
Nolte was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars that year
@@jamesjoseph1249 Oh he was? I just googled it and he was. Thanks for correcting me! I appreciate it. Fell a bit better knowing he was actually nominated for an Oscar none the less.
If you enjoyed this movie I would highly recommend one of the most underrated MMA shows ever produced - : Kingdom " which has some of the same actors.
Her attitude at 6:25 is every women who doesn’t understand the subject 😂.
I owned this movie for 8 years and watched it a couple times a month. It was the first movie that I ever cried while watching - that scene where Paddy falls off the wagon hit me hard.
6:10 Chuck Lidell is who you are talking about, now we we just have figure out what Mr. Drummond was talking about
I love Joel Edgerton, a fellow Aussie making it big! You should check out 13 Lives based on actual events.
Today, if I found out my kids teacher was an MMA contender, I'd think GREAT, can you pass along some of that discipline and drive to my kids, can you mentor them? Does he do private lessons?
Finally, we're understanding that fitness isn't about being a meathead, most jacked and ripped people are extremely scientific and empirical about things, they do what works and know what doesn't, they're willing to follow directions and put in the work, it's admirable.
Honestly I think everyone knows it’s obvious that Brendan took care of Tommy’s military brothers family. Brendan knew what it was like to be down and hopeless fighting for his family so there is zero chance knowing Tommy’s story he didn’t help that family out. He only wanted to keep his house and not go backward. Tuck some away for a rainy day, help out the military family and help out Tommy. 100% that’s what happened. There was no need to show us because we all knew what he would do with it. I think if Tommy won he only gives it to Manny’s family and doesn’t help Brendan so the only happy ending could be if Brendan won.
i cant believe you guys didn't cry at the end
These days in MMA, the worst you'll see is vicious "accidental" eye pokes or broken tib/fibs from checked kicks. Pretty gnarly.
"i'll fight him, keep your guy warm"
Everyone: IDK that guy looks sort of like Bane, I think I'll pass.
It’s kind of absurd how these two were sympathizing with Nick Nolte and chastising Tommy talking about how he needs to move on, he should feel bad for making Nick Nolte falling off the wagon, and shaming Tommy the entire movie for harboring resentment. My father is a drug addict and alcoholic who I watched beat my mother as a kid. I lost my little brother to CPS 18 years ago and still don’t know where he is. My dad used to hit me all the time. Last time I saw him was August 18, 2008 and I hit him in the face three times and left for basic training the next day…haven’t seen him since. Their disposition towards shaming Tommy and feeling bad for Nick Nolte drove me nuts because anyone who has ever been through something like that, it is nearly insurmountable and the pain, damage, and psychological issues are life long. This whole “he’s trying” and “he made him fall off the wagon” stuff was infuriating. Saying Tommy made him fall off the wagon would be like saying Tommy was the reason he used to beat his mother. Ridiculous.
This movie and Grosse Point Blank are always the ones I think about when I think of the most underrated movies ever. The ending of this movie is phenomenal
Tommy's great. Sad, but great. He's a great example of what childhood abuse can do: Treat your kids like crap, they can grow up to be meaner than you were, pretty much.
The funny thing is that ref named Josh Rosenthal, he was fired from the UFC him letting fights go on too long, when someone was already knocked out or choked out, refs generally stop the fight once a guy seems unable to defend himself. Also he is in prison I believe haha. Also the first guy Brendan fought in the tourney was named Anthony “rumble” Johnson. Known for his power. Very great fighter with few losses. Sadly he passed last year I believe. RIP
The different styles of the brothers is great too. The wrestler vs the brawler.
Callan isn't a Rogan imposter. Actually they are best friends in real life.
@28:35..."Hold your breath for 10 seconds."
Random fact...super rare for people to lose consciousness in jiujitsu from a blocked airway. More often than not it's the blockage in the carotid arteries (or even the jugular vein?). That's why people tap so quickly when that shit is sunk in...they're about to go night night.
The announcer is actually one of joes best friends
Wikipedia used to say Bryan Callen & Joe Rogan were brothers. Just besties in reality though.
One of the most underrated movies of 2011. Seems to be just catching on lately I feel. I showed this movie to everyone when it came out.
Nick Nolte broke me in this movie but everyone was spectacular in this film.
I train in MMA, specifically in Kickboxing and jiu jitsu
Fun fact tom hardy showed up to my bjj training one night in northeast England (where he’s from) super good guy knows his stuff no where near as big as he looks in this movie though
HAHAHAHA i died when Mrs Movies missed the Batman refrence/joke it just fluttered right over her head and i thought she almost got it but or did but jsut that stare and silence that felt like forever but was less than a second!! also so funny and cute !! the moment mrs.movies goes flexing mode and in a deeper tone says " almost as big as these guns"
I wasnt expecting much of this movie going in but ended up hella invested by the end. Even went on a jog after
Not sure if this was pointed out yet but Joe Rogan and Bryan Callen have been close friends since they were in their 20s
The most underrated movie of all time
Please, guys, watch House of Wax (2005) starting Elisha Cuthbert.
That guy is actually a good friend of Joe Rogan and has been on the podcast a bunch of times.
I always remember Brian Callen from Mad TV
After this watch Here Comes the Boom
The "Joe Rogan wannabe" is actually Joe Rogan's real life friend, actor/comedian/podcaster Bryan Callen
What is unrealistic and baffling is that this tournament is supposed to be middleweights (185lbs) at a weigh in. There is no conceivable way Kurt Angle would EVER weigh 185 and be remotely competitive and look normal
15:00 in madd dawg has no idea the challenge he is asking for
I Recommend Never Back Down
There's more fighting in this then. In Rocky, because, according to Sylvester Stallone, Rocky is not a fighting movie. It is a love story... Whereas this is a fighting movie /drama
I think a lot of people overlook this film because your not spoon fed the entire story your only given hints in the dialogue about just how bad things had gotten between them and why all three main actors play their parts with very subdued emotions demanding the audience pay attention. It's easy to see Tommy as a violent rage fueled monster without seeing the pain regret and shame driving his anger or to think Brandon is the nice hardworking guy just trying to survive but he carries just as much anger buried deep down. His determination to keep the house isn't just about providing for his family those things are a symbol of how far he's come from his awful childhood and he fears loosing them will drag him back into the pit of despair Tommy and his father are still struggling to escape.
One of the most underrated movie's of the 2000s
im sure this hits real hard for us men who have brothers 😹😹
The fighter you were thinking of with the Mohawk is chuck lidell. And regular fights are 3 rounds and title or championship fights are 5 rounds
Look at me! Look at me! Why are we here, Brendan? Why are we here? Are we here to win this fight? You tell me, 'cause if we're not, I'll throw in the towel right now. We'll get Tess and we will go home. You don't knock him out, you lose the fight. Understand me? You don't knock him out, you don't have a home.
This line gets me every time i watch this movie. Amazing movie and great reaction as always.
How Nick Nolte didnt get an Oscar is beyond Me
Such a great movie! The ending had me crying my eyes out when I saw this back in the day lol
This part I like because Tommy is a Marine once a Marine always a Marine plus family are still Marines and I’m a grandson of a Marine brother in law to both Marines
And ever since I was little I’ve always wanted to be a Marine
I remember when I watched this at the Sydney premiere. Not a dry eye in the house.
Im guessing the "mohawk" youre thinking of is Chuck Liddell (The Iceman)
The only 2 nitpicky things I had with this as an mma fan is the super fancy moves Brendan pulled off that just are basically impossible irl and the fact that the established Tommy as this undefeated wrestler but he didn't grapple at all and could stop his brother from rolling him around super easy. Its always a challenge with mma movies because they want the cool factor for the big screen but it always looks kinda silly to anyone who knows the sport.
Bryan callen who was the fight commentator that you said was a Joe Rogan wannabe is actually rogans best friend for almost 30 years who also does a podcast called the fighter and the kid
A little ironic funny note.. since you briefly mistook that one fighter as Chuck Liddell and thought the fight at the end would have been called after the shoulder injury, UFC fighter Rich Franklin broke his arm in a fight and finished the fight by knock out using his broken arm.. the guy he knocked out was Chuck Liddell.. lol That was awhile back though and this movie is 2011, more than likely current UFC would stop the fight as safety protocols have increased.
Rich Franklin was also a high school teacher and the inspiration for Brendan's character.
Big time underrated movie
The guy with the mohawk. She was thinking of Chuck Liddel. I thought it was him too ar first. Does look like him.
