Dev is a true example of hard-work pays off. I bet Hollywood directors are going to be calling him for upcoming movies.
Sat and watched this with a pen and notepad the entire way through. I could listen to Dev talk for the rest of my life

Dev Patel is raw7734 father
I'm with this stranger@@ChristosAlexakos best comment
Great insight
I'm doing thr exact same thing
Bro dropped the BEST Korean revenge thrillers of all time
oh man, finally someone mentions The Man From Nowhere and Bittersweet Life! Excellent movies!!
There's a scene in Monkey man where he does the same thing as the guy from The Man from Nowhere but the glass didn't break. I was laughing so hard.
The Raid mentioned. Bless Dev for using that as an inspiration. The Raid and Raid 2 are seriously the best action films
I love it when folks who love movies get to make movies and see their version come to live. I hope to see more directorial movies from Dev Patel.❤
He's so clearly very passionate about action films and I love to see that! Can't wait to watch the film later today! One of my most anticipated of the year for sure
Just watched the premiere. The movie is insane. A must watch imo. Brilliant scenes, Brilliant acting, authentic portrayals of characters and setting and just killer action sequences.
It was amazing, agreed. So cathartic too
Dev is such a smart and eloquent guy. Dunno what it is about movies with tumultuous productions but I'm always interested in how so many great films are created in such a chaotic environment. Glad he managed to fight to get this made and I'm really looking forward to seeing the movie 🍿🇮🇳
Don’t know if this was his first movie that he directed, but he absolutely hit it out of the park with this one. As a nearly pure action/thriller watcher, the action choreography was done perfectly.
Huge props and respect to Dev Patel. Nothing but success for him ahead, can’t wait to keep enjoying
Imagine if this movie was never picked up... crazy to think. One of my favorites of the year so far. Dev is a fierce new voice in the action genre.
What a humble man and an amazing interview!
His passion for the craft radiates throughout the trailer, something which is severely needed in the current state of the industry. Ive already got my ticket for tomorrow
Whether the film lives up to expectations or not, this man's passion is infectious!
enter the dragon’s influence on cinema is underrated imo.
I need to rewatch it for a third time because there’s so much to unpack here. It’s such a rich story.
The Raid, of course
once you watch a few asian martial arts films, it’s hard to enjoy modern action movies. there’s still def great ones out there, and i’m looking forward to seeing monkey man!
Asian action films belong to a different breed.
I think it’s because Asian actors also have to be great at other forms of artistry (like dance or martial arts) that isn’t the case for American actors.
@@TheSkaOreo studio system as well. took cruise a lot of time and permits to perform those big stunts in the last two MI movies, yet in hong kong jackie chan was already hanging off a helicopter in the 90s.
@@TheSkaOreo If you look at the Hong Kong action films,for example Sammo Hung,Jackie Chan or Bruce Lee.they were more unique than the american ones.
I think alot has to do with the fact that alot of asian action action stars are actual pro martial artist, not just actors who spent a couple months training for a role.
I could smell The raid influence from the first trailer lmao
well it was shot in Indonesia and he uses the same stunt team from The Raid franchise
@@refalvyfatih6978 awesome
That's so cool, I love action movies and it's very great to know Dev and I and probably many others admire The Raid series and Oldboy.
Omg I'm so happy to hear he watched that many Korean movies Can't wait to see Monkey Man in Korea
Makes me beam just the fact he’s seen Oldboy lmao
Such an incredible story behind the making of this movie. I love Indian classical music and when Zakir Hussain showed up I lost my shit!! What a unique experience this movie is, full of heart and soul and determination
Complete and utter brilliance😮
The finale is such a cool tribute to Enter the Dragon
Really surprised he didn’t mention Only God Forgives I felt like he was giving it an intentional nod with some of those scenes near the end
I know Dev was the one when he mentioned The Raid. One of the most underrated action movie of the last decade. When it comes to Action movies, Koreans, Indonesians and Indian movies do it better than American movies.
Bruce Lee Movies, Rocky,
the Raid Duology, Dredd and
OldBoy. This Movie is Such an Inspired Movie, Dev Patel Really Experience what it felt like to be a Director. Let's Learn More!
Dev is smart and talented.
He likes a bittersweet life, great. I love this movie.
The movies he mentioned,, i love him even more now
Dev Patel mentions all the right films. If you're doing action for the first time, just watch the masters. It's the best way to learn.
this dude is kinda nice to listen to. didn't expect that coming in here lol.
Just watched this today, Dev has the juice! The action was amazing!
Can't wait to watch
Given the one hit knock out in one of the boxing ring scenes, I’m amazed he didn’t mention Ong Bak! It was almost one for one
I really like dev patel. wonderful career, wonderful human
Dev is phenomenal ❤❤❤
The background score is lit ❤ amplifies the action
I'm so excited:)
Makes me want to see it even more now, looks like I had my choice made for me for tomorrow.
Dev is a very likable character. Not unlike Keanu.
Gorgeous film picks!
Hii
I LOVE THIS MAN❤❤❤
Living a dream.aking a movie ❤
Hope to see this movie to be shown in Thailand.
Mr patel the man that you are
I knew I Saw the Devil HAD to be an influence. 🖤💀
Hii
🗣THE RAID MENTIONED!!!
The man from nowhere, that’s the only answer
a bitter sweet life is that raw dope
Dev Patel's Mumbai Slum trilogy:
Slumdog Millionaire, Lion, Monkey Man.
For him nothing exists beyond Mumbai slums in India
Really lol 😂😂
All 3 movies titles have an animal too lol.
Well he also did marigold hotel, hotel mumbai etc
Lion is criminally underrated, truly wept at that when I first saw if
Am I off my rocker or the editing in Monkey Men was very similar to Dune (2021)? Maybe I was just overanalyzing but the way the story was told, reminded me how Joe Walker tackled Dune.
1:38 Batam, Indonesia
this interviewer reminds me of the referee in The Karate Kid (1984).
Is there any chances of releasing this In India ?.. I am eagerly waiting for this movie.. #releasemonkeymaninindia
For me there’s 3 movies change western cinema fighting scenes. 1st is bruce lee, 2nd is bourne, and 3rd is the raid.
W😊
I’ve seen man from nowhere but I’m scared to watch old boy
Understandable, even going in knowing kinda what to expect it is fucked lmao
Could see him and Michael B Jordan working on something. Need like a new Bad Boys style flick. Miami Vice like but new.
Nah. They should do a gay romcom.
@@kumarvikramaditya9636 I'm sure you can't wait to see that.
@@MichaelBohemian 🤣
Its so easy to say john wick but both monkey man and John WIck were inspired by asian action cinema
So tired of people calling it a new John Wick, watch more action movies, people, for Christ's sake
But it looks like john wick more than any other action movies
Why does he look so worn out?
He was probably filming a bunch of interviews in one day. Typically how it goes.
That Guy Looks Like Jake Gyllenhaal Or Peter Dinklage!
old boy
Guju should stick to being a Gandhi
Wow no John wick
You should watch those Asian movies that he mention then you will know that John wick is just a cheaper version😂😂😂 it's the habit of Hollywood to overhyped a movie that is highly inspired from Asian movies then make it the standard, as if no such movie or fight scenes was ever made in the whole world. I guess Hollywood fans should expand their movie horizon
Because JW was also inspired by those movies he told
@@moimoi3681 Lol don’t tell me what I should watch son. The only movies I watched as kid was Asian cinema. Jw isn’t a cheaper version, if anything it’s a more expensive version. What JW does well is world building and aesthetics combined with creative lore, and other things. JW has every single kind of action sub genre combined into an ultimate action franchise. It’s got car chases, gun fu, h2h combat, big stunts, weaponry, ninjas, cowboys, unique set designs. You dissing a movie that put all that together and made it work while also paying respects to Chinese/japanese/korean/western cinema just shows you’re a fuckin hater. The movie has hype rightfully so is because of people who understand the art behind these action movies and the attention to detail Chad and his team puts in it. JW still isn’t industry standard, the standard action movie are marvel or fast & furious movies. JW is held in high regards. If you can’t appreciate different kinds of action movies then that’s fine, just go complain and cry somewhere else.
@@hellolongden yeah but clearly this movie is also inspired by jw. I was just surprised he didn’t mention it because everyone literally is just calling this Indian Jon wick.
@@markustran777 he didn't mention because it didn't inspired him....🤣🤣🤣
john wick 1 man army schtick... yawn. dont care how cool it looks these are always made by theater kids whove never played a sport or been in a real fight or seen someone get shot. the most trained dangerous pro fighter cant take on 7 guys in 1 room. look at how javier bardem kills the police officer in no country for old men, it is a violent struggle and strangling him takes minutes and hes got crazy deep cuts on his wrists and the entire room is filled with scuff marks from the struggle on the floor. thats from 1 guy who didnt even get much a chance to fight back where it went perfectly to plan from the villain
CZcams commenters trying to understand the concepts of fiction and heightened realism 🤯🤯🤯
Mate, the idea of films like this is to entertain. And, this film does that...Entertain.
It's called martial arts etc, about you go outside and touch the grass.
he’s a taekwondo black belt irl
@@akhilan.5599Taekwondo 😂 That Bullshido doesn’t take you far in the streets.
GODDAMNIT I FORGOT HE IS BRITISH
GARETH EVANS + IKO UWAIS + DEV PATEL = 🤌🤌🤌
