"The audience is more discerning and selective about their time." All of us rewatching this series for the 3rd (or is it 4th?) time would beg to differ.
Doing the exact same thing is not really parody, though. Men getting some action out of a captured lady seconds after meeting her is literally how the scene goes, so Kingsman didn't really make a joke there. My favorite one is Captain Blood (Erroll Flynn) kissing a princess that can't speak English just to make her shut up. She falls in love with him immediately. And this happens less than 5 minutes after freeing her from pirates. Point is, Kingsman didn't transgress or cross any lines with that scene just because it's butt sex. They still played the scene straight. And it was funny, but Dan is right.
Trent Carroll might've been a parody had it been a dude offering, or something just a shade off of the usual. Maybe had she offered, then said, "Btw, I have the clap." Or something. Otherwise it's just replaying the same scenario. Like a nod to Bond movies for getting it right. Just my opinion.
It is a parody because of how extreme and blunt it is. Bond does this whole song and dance with inneundo and inappropriately timed 'love scenes'. This tears that down. He meets her, makes a joke about a kiss that immediately esculates. When we finally get to the sex instead of James Bond undressing her to soft music we get straight up ass fucking. Like a good parody when you break it down into basic elements it's doing the same thing, but when you actually watch it it's different.
+David That's why I brought up a movie from 1935 in my first post. Back then, "James Bond undressing her to soft music" wouln'd be done anywhere near a simple action flick. Nowadays, butt stuff (at least in movies) is not trangressive, because times change. Specially in a movie where they cut a guy in half during the first few minutes. No, the display of sex is on par with the display of gore for this movie. Is it also taking the piss on overblown action scenes? Then why do we get like 10 minutes of Gallahad murdering people? Also a joke? No, not really. It's just that nowadays we do things more extremely than in James Bond's time. Both our killing and our sexing (in movies) is bigger and goes further.
I’m glad you addressed the Ghostbusters thing bc I for years thought Ray just got sexually assaulted by a ghost out of nowhere. There’s ZERO context. It’s so weird.
I always just thought of the scene as just some perverted sex dream that didn't need any subplot other than Ray being so overworked he dreams of getting a bj from a ghost. 'nuff said. Like how many times do you have a dream where someone does something kinky to you. Where do you think all the nurse, maid, librarian, or teacher fantasies come from?
Couldn't one just as easily say he's sexually assaulting the ghost? I mean, what are the standards of consent surrounding dead &/or forever spiritually trapped people?
@@dark2023-1lovesoni He’s not the one undoing his own belt and forcing his dick into the ghost, he’s a willing participant. Neither of them is getting sexually assaulted in this scenario.
I think the most important thing you're forgetting about the Kingsman scene is that like every second they spend the flirting is another thousand people who are being murdered by Jackson's plan and they still proceeded to have this entire exchange. Eggsy's own family is at risk and he doesn't know if they're safe but he still takes time out of this time sensitive mission to establish this deal.
I hate how the second movie barely addresses the slaughter. The only reason Eggsy's baby sister lived was because he told his mom to lock her in the bathroom. Even then the mom almost kills the baby. How many parents snapped out of it with their children's blood on their hands. Add in almost every world leader dying and you would not have normal for a very long time.
Well, to be fair, the sex scene in Kingsman is meant to be a parody to all James Bond films where the spy always ends up banging a chick somewhere or at the end of the movie after he defeats the villain. I don't think the director intended the sex scene to be what you had explain in the video.
Yeah, Kingsman is a clear riff on classic Bond movies and the agent-gets-caught-having-sex-at-the-end is a staple ripe for mocking. They were still doing it when Brosnan was Bond and that was only... oh, man, I feel old now.
Skoardy... yes and stale fare at that. Austin Powers parodied Bond as pure comedy, while the other JB (Jason Borne) went the pure action route. Much more entertaining when Connery said "Another time... (glancing at woman's lower body), another place" than juvenile overt references. Kingsman was much less entertaining than Spy.
Heatwave619 exactly! this is the joke. ive listened to crackeds podcast where all the guys talk about this scene and how its so out of place, while it really isnt. im really surprised these comedians didnt figure this one out :).
Heatwave619 When it comes to delivering messages, the author's intent doesn't really matter. That's not to say that the director is a jerk or that the scene wasn't funny. But the text stands on its own, and it does perpetuate an ugly trope.
Yeah I was scanning through the comments looking for someone besides myself who knew that. This was a remake. That scene was not Adam Sandler's idea. Honestly I thought Caretaker getting killed added some real impact to the final act. "Let's do this for Caretaker!" Great episode though Daniel.
Also, the whole reason people in prison hate Paul Crewe is because he threw games. He was told if he didn't throw the game, Caretaker's murder would be blamed on him. Caretaker dying shows character development in two ways: 1) He is able to show real compassion for someone other than himself 2) He understands that there are things more important than winning. Caretaker's death was completely plot necessary.
I didn't actually know that. But that aside, I still thought it was an important part of the movie. Not great, but needed. The plot was for the guards to hurt AS's character, and they got the wrong guy. They could have just SAID that it happened, and kept the film visually the same, but I feel like they kind of had to show it so the audience would believe it more. And as an event itself, it closed the second act by galvanizing the team against the guards and showing the lengths the guards will go to.
See, given how much Kingsman parodies and satirizes spy movies and their cliches (whilst also being a decent spy movie itself), I took the last scene to be deliberately making a comment on the "sex as reward" trope? Its going so far with it, princess + buttsex is the one of the rarest "rewards" you could get, but not only does it actually happen- the VERY LAST SHOT is getting ready to show the act itself. They don't even do the "winky face implication they totally did it in the butt guys"- they show us a shot that wouldn't be amiss in a POV porno intro. It plays the trope straight, then goes further with it, then goes EVEN FURTHER. It completely messes with the audience expectations, whilst also calling attention to the weirdness of the trope itself. I kinda love it.
Film Crit Hulk said the same thing in many more words. birthmoviesdeath.com/2015/07/17/film-crit-hulk-smash-kingsman-and-the-maybe-genius-of-non-winking-satire
I think that's the danger of parodying something that is pretty ridiculous already. Viewers can't differentiate your parody from the real thing. I've seen far dumber "sex as reward" examples in films and video games that take themselves seriously. So to really nail it, they should've come up with something even more inexplicable and over-the-top.
I'd say it was poorly executed, even though I understand the intent and it could have had that effect, it just didn't come across as well as it might have
Warning: This comment is really long. I also thought that the anal sex scene in Kingsman was weirdly placed. On the one (very remote hand) its interesting for the fact that the woman brought it up instead of being coerced by her rescuer, but that pales in comparison to all the points DOB brought up about the sex-as-reward trope (that only ever seems to work to the guy's benefit, but that's a whole other kettle of fish). From the perspective of context within the film, though, it also doesn't make any sense. It's completely atonal for the character of Eggsy, who went through an intense boot camp with an attractive blonde badass named Roxy and never once did he (or in fact anyone else, including the poncy jerks who washed out) objectify her in anyway or imply she wasn't up to snuff because she was a woman. He is a sweet kid with a rough life who cares about his mother and little sister so much he asked Roxy to call them and make them take precautions to save themselves when the evil plan was enacted and he thought he was going to get gunned down by cronies. And now this same kid discovers a kidnapped princess in a cell in a remote mountain base of an evil maniac and jokes that her release is contingent on her giving him a kiss? No, sorry, that does not sound like the character we have spent all this time with. And the scene when he actually takes her up on her offer? Here's a few other things currently happening: Roxy, who launched herself into the stratosphere by retired tech from the Reagan years and freefalled all the way back to earth, is currently abandoned on the frozen tundra awaiting a pick up from the only two Kingsman who are alive/aware of what happened. His mother and sister and best friends whom we meet earlier in the film do live, but Eggsy has no way of knowing that, since the sim cards were active for several minutes and we see his mother come within seconds of stabbing his little sister to death with a kitchen knife before he defeats the baddie and saves (most of) the world. Also, there's a ton of other people in those other cells, having no clue what just happened, if the world has torn itself to pieces and whether any of their loved ones still exist. Also, Eggsy earlier watched not only just a literal ton of people get their heads blown off, but he is also a newly minted killer and only hours earlier saw his mentor get shot in the head from his mentor's perspective through the Kingsman glasses. Maybe adrenaline could fix any of that and give him a boner, but anal sex requires a lot of prep work and I doubt he would be able to keep that chemical high long enough to get her ready to go before he crashed and probably went into shock. Also on the topic of prep, did he do any? Were there condoms and lube in those cells? Hard to believe there would be. I get its supposed to be an homage to the Bond films that end with Bond shagging some leggy blonde, and this film had already firmly friend-zoned Eggsy and Roxy so he "needed" to bang some other leggy blonde, but since it comes at the very end between two characters who had never met, it feels incredibly forced and awkward (not to mention incredibly dubious, the princess doesn't even get to leave her goddamn cell first) in what is otherwise an awesome, very well-executed movie. So it bothers me. A lot, apparently.
Actually, post-battle, people do get horny. It's a pretty well known phenomenon, you can look it up. As far as the type of sex, prep time for anal is entirely relative to experience and given she brought it up, she is probably pretty experienced in it. As for the rest, you are REALLY over thinking it.
You're right! A sweet kid MADE A JOKE?!?!?!?!? COMPLETELY out of left field for a hoodlum like this to. . . to make JOKES! And he made a joke about a WOMAN?!?! Fifty percent of the population? How DARE he treat her like he would treat anyone else. It's just insane! If there's one thing that I would agree with the death penalty for, it's making a light, flirtatious joke. That is the absolute PEAK of human villainy, for sure.
The Kingsman scene was actually a parody of an end scene of one of the Pierce Brosnan James Bond movies. The whole movie was sort of a satire/parody of the old James Bond style of movies.
He probably knows that. He's Daniel. Assume he knows. That doesn't really refute his point, though. He was saying this thing that the joke is about is fucked up and leads to bad things in society, not that the joke wasn't a joke. He even said this is the cartoonish extreme of the thing he was talking about, but the thing is still real, of course.
That's kind of a lame defense. It's already a bit of a joke in Bond films and this is honestly no different except for the language being just slightly more graphic. If you're going to parody something, it's needs to be over the top to the point that it's showing how stupid the original is. This is really just repeating what the Bond films do with nothing added to make it funnier or to highlight the ridiculousness of the scene.
Kingsman is just one huge piss take out of Bond, they even reference it in the film so the ending scene is just one last piss take, nothing more than that
But unlike in Kingsman, the Bond Girl who sleeps with Bond isn't someone he just met moments before and only for a couple of seconds. Bond and the main Bondgirl usually spend a great part of the movie to get to know each other. The sex is not just a reward. In Kingsman he met her only once before for a couple of seconds.
Hi, Daniel. Since you're what the bible was based on, I was wondering if you could explain the bit about Samson bringing a goat into the bedroom in Judges 15:1?
At that time people would use a goat to feed bedbugs before using the bed so they wouldn't bite them well they slept. Or maybe it's a fetish but more than likely the first one.
Everyone seems stuck on the Kingsman scene, but I want to thank you for including that scene from Ghostbusters. I have never liked that scene, it made no sense, and I always fast forward through it when I watch the movie. It makes a little more sense now that I know it was part of a deleted scene, but I question Akroyd's determination to include it. It seems like he was confusing ghosts with the succubus/incubus folklore. Anyway, thanks for clearing that up, somewhat
naa there's a bunch of stories of people at least thinking they hooked up with ghosts that one singer ke$ha is one of em sad side note don't read on if you don't want a bummer but psychologists think most ghost sex and alien abduction stories are just the brain's way of dealing with rape known as date rape psychosis the brain will do whatever it can to make what happened less traumatizing such as tricking you into thinking you consented or replaces the perpetrator with something more fantastic as in the it's a literal fantasy sense also that singer has accused her former manager of lets say inappropriate behavior so that very much might fit the bill
In the original “ the longest yard” the same thing happens! Caretaker went into Burt Reynolds cell to shut the light off and burned to death, but it was supposed to be Reynolds character that was supposed to get it
Exactly, but they left that detail out of the remake, making the murder have practically no motivation. Would've been nice had they included this in the episode, but they probably didn't know. For some reason most people are unaware when a movie made within the last 40 years is a remake save a few exceptions.
Yeah I mean, even if you don't know about the remake that scene fits perfectly well in the movie and makes sense, it's not that hard to get it, I think this guy didn't even watch that movie.
I clicked on this video thinking "If this takes more than 5 minutes to talk about their 3 points I'm going to watch something else." Then I saw it was DOB. 10:43 isn't long enough.
@@pmmp855 Again, it's a remake of the original and Caretaker was burned to death in that movie too. The person that kills him is in prison for killing people by burning them to death!!!
@kevin willems It's a remake of "The Longest Yard" in which Burt Reynolds played the QB. The guy who murders Caretaker is an arsonist. The warden uses the threat of pinning the murder on Crew to get Crew to throw the game. That's the point of the scene in an otherwise dark comedy.
Kingsmen had a lot of cool details (chic with sword leg prosthetics) but I really was disturbed how the story had Eggs struggle over the command to shoot his puppy dog companion while the girl actually DID shoot hers (fucking selfish bitch) to stay in the Kingsmen (even though there were blanks in the guns)... Eggs didn't go through with it but he actually considered it and pointed his gun at the puppy... the movie was pretty heartless and I didn't give a shit about any of the characters either way.
An Evolving Ape It's. A. Fucking. Dog. And not even one that the two characters had even grew up with, they had them for like a month each tops. They're fucking animals. The real "selfish bitch"(really?) would be someone who lets their infantile emotional connection to an animal keep them from saving millions maybe billions of human lives.
An Evolving Ape You're talking about a movie where the whole plot is about joining a secret organization that gives people the license to kill. In some cases, this organization will order its agents to kill former colleagues who've gone rogue. The dogs were meant to be a rough approximation of that internal conflict. If it felt uncomfortable, it's because it was supposed to. That's hardly a fault of the movie.
An Evolving Ape wtf are you talking about? the entire film Eggsy avoids harming animals, it was established that to be a kingsman you need to go to any lengths, whilst he was given grief in the film about not shooting the dog, but Christ, it's clear that audience should side with Eggsy
Yes commentators, everyone on the face of the planet can tell that the Kingsmen scene is a parody of bond girls. That fact sill doesn't change anything that Dan said about it.
Is it really sexist though? Eggsy didn't ask her for sex, only a kiss. She offered sex and was very quick to have sex with him when he returned. Ahe has shown herself to be a very strong willed woman because turned down the offer that had her in prison in the first place when many people didn't. A strong woman chose to have sex with an attractive guy and initiate it on her terms. Isn't this the apex of true women's equality?
Nathan Christie exactly my thought. And [spoilers] she didn't do it only as a reward for saving her or else they wouldn't be dating in the second movie. That is proof that she actually found him attractive. She even married the guy! If anything I think the second movie was more offensive with the tracking device thing.
Loved Shaun of the dead but I would have said that 28 days later would have reinvigorated the zombie genre. Until 28 days later Zombies were never really threatening being slow, stumbling, and bumbling... Shaun of the dead itself parodies this in many of its scenes.
I'd say it was more a combination of 28 days later & Resident Evil that resurrected the Zombie genre, as in the same year 2 very different approaches to portraying zombies getting reasonable success showed studios that it's worth the risk.
I absolutely agree with all of the things said about Kingsman and that the entire situation is rather toxic, though, I took it as an attempt (if not executed perfectly) at further satirizing bond and other spy movies with the general womanising that happens in those. Makes it a bit more bearable.
For the "Ghostbusters" scene, I always just thought the context was they were so busy busting ghosts that even their sex dreams were now ghost-oriented.
Also, like, a woman offerring consensual butt-sex (so it indicates it's something she likes to do, since it was her first offer), isn't the same as the man saying, "If you want me to free you, you'll need to bend over." I think we're meant to take him asking for a kiss as a joke, and assume Eggsy will still free her no matter what after saving the world
Regarding the Chris Rock bit. The same character was burned alive during original Longest Yard so the question is why didn't they use the same rational for why if they were going to keep the fire-death.
In the remake Unger does actually ask Crewe if he could be on the team and Crewe says “No”, but it is more clear in the original. The remake made it seem like Unger thought it was reasonable to kill Crewe for the guards which is weird but Caretaker dying I think over shadows that hit and most importantly keeps the movie in line for a remake IMO
The Chris Rock scene happened because this movie is a remake (starring Burt Reynolds) and the equivalent character was burned alive in the original (in the original, it was a lightbulb rigged to catch fire, which is why in the remake there is a focus on Chris Rock turning on the light before he turns off the radio causing the explosion). The character setting up the explosives almost compares to Ephialtes (the misshapen character) in 300, seeking revenge for a perceived exclusion. Not disagreeing that the scene is bizarre, but it's not totally out of left field.
The original is a classis and ufvcontext was needed he should have at least mentioned it, the fact that Burt was there is a Homage to the first one, which also explains the burning murder if the leads friend.
Yay! More OPCD! And you completely nailed the issue I had with the ending of Kingsman. Yes, it was a joke. Yes, it's parodying how Bond films have a reputation for ending with him getting to have sex with the Bond Woman of the Week. I could see it for what it was the first time I saw it in theatres and yet that scene still felt really out of place. If they wanted to mock the trope rather than just perpetuate it, then I feel like the joke would have landed better if he assumed he was going to get his obligatory congratulatory bang only to be denied in a humorous way. The way they did it just fell flat in terms of humor for me because the "punchline" was too predictable. Still loved the movie, but it did take the wind out of my sails a bit by the time the credits rolled.
As soon as I saw kingmen in the thumbnail I knew it was going to be the butt sex scene. That scene was so weird, all of the stuff about it being problematic aside (although I completely agree with what you said), it just doesn't work in the film. It breaks the pacing and makes no sense. It also sucks because it's literally the very last scene, so this great movie ends with you having a sour taste in your mouth. Also, other people have said this already, but Chris Rock's character in the longest yard died in the original movie that it was based on, and I think probably the original had a little more justification for it.
even if it was a parody of bond, James bond almost always got to know the ladies he had sex with and there was always something leading up to it. SOMETHING..this is saying u not only get rewarded with sex by being the good guy, (which isn't why James bind would get laid, he knew how to charm women). In this scene they have the women literally degrating herself (tho she wants it in the movie) it's obviously something overtly sexual that YES should've been left out, and btw its so unrealistic. "if u give me a kiss" he says. "wanna have butt sex" lol...obviously a guy wrote that and didn't even take enough time to give the princess a personality or any reason to want to have butt sex with a total stranger.
Why is she „degrading“ herself by offering to have sex with someone? Are the puritans back? Are women not allowed to openly want and enjoy sex anymore?
A bizarre scene which really annoyed me was in the movie The Judge where Robert Downey Jr made out with a girl at a bar who was possibly his daughter but then turned out to be his nephew because his brother had sex with his old girlfriend. The scene added nothing to the film just cringe and it created a rather awkward subplot which really took away from the movie.
The part of kingsman I love is the awkward scene they didn't film, where Merlin has to go and let them out. To ensure privacy, the door and hatch are closed. That door will auto lock. Both can only be opened from outside. With the hatch open he could have reached through to enter the code himself, if he remembered it.
I was down with the whole sex with princess thing at the end only because that's how just about every James Bond movie ended and Kingsman was more or less a James Bond parody.
I understand why a person who makes comedy stuff would want to not have to break the flow to make a serious point but hot damn so I appreciate it and make sure to watch every episode (probably multiple time)
I'd like to point out that sexualized hallucinations due to sleep paralysis (which many people mistake for paranormal experiences) are actually EXTREMELY common. Also usually scary and feel like rape, but YES, extremely common.
The funny thing about the ghost fellatio scene is that it actually *does* make sense to me. Every time I've worked a stressful job (specifically, one where I sleep in close proximity to a bunch of other guys while still technically *at* work), I've started having _vivid_ but incomprehensible dreams about the job. A few got sexual. But usually it was just yelling at deer trying to cut in line.
TOTALLY AGREE, Kingsman was otherwise so good and I found that scene utterly jarring. like can we not grow out of the "princess as reward" trope already? combining it with "sex as reward" doesn't make it new and edgy, just doubly hackneyed.
Honestly, who gives a shit? People just need to be offended by something i guess. Who cares that he murdered a bunch of people in a church, there was an implied buttsex scene! AN IMPLIED BUTTSEX SCENE!!! The horror! Also going into movies like this expecting "lessons" is silly in itself but whatever.
Isnt it basically just a reference to the misogyny and that sort of thing happening in james bond? Also love the above comment about the lack of the complaint of the insane overviolence on screen vs the implied buttsex lol... and he still brings her champagne so he's still grateful even though he's just saved the world :p
I also love the fact that the Princess is HIS ONLY LOVE INTEREST. He MARRIES her in the sequel. The END of the sequel. As in they have a legitimate relationship for the entirety of the second. Even going against the weird seduction stuff secret agents do because he's COMMITTED to her.
Thank you for addressing such an important topic. As a woman, even now, if I said anything even remotely criticizing scenarios where any woman used sex as a reward I would be attacked unmercifully. Until more real men like you stand up and publicly (AND privately) renounce this inappropriate male behavior that makes women feel pressure in our everyday lives, it will continue.
Kingsman isn't just a wacky action movie. It's also a satirical pisstake of the entire spy thriller genre. The anal scene is one of the hardest hitting commentaries, because it reduces the entirely-too-widespread "hero always gets the girl" trope to the utterly bizarre. So, looks like it worked. You'll never look at any rendition of the "kiss after the big fight" trope the same way ever again.
Ha, the out of context blow job always stuck in my head. That Kingsman scene was jarring. It would have made sense if it had been a built up or running joke, but it was just weird.
The kinsman scene is at the extreme end of the spectrum because its a spoof so it's accuntuating the bond gets the girl trope to show how ridiculous it is. Its just irony
As soon as I saw Kingsman was in the video I thought "oh I hope it's that buttsex thing." I'm completely with Dan. If it was supposed to be satire, it doesn't work, and the end result is that a lot of Niceguys will see the movie as reinforcing their own "I do nice things for girls so they owe me sex/a relationship" misconceptions. You never want to feed into that.
I haven't seen Kingsman, but it actually doesn't really surprise me? Isn't this a James Bond type movie? Nobody ever complains about how that sort of thing happens in those movies, and it's always bothered me. Like, everything that you said negatively about rewarding the main character with a human-being to bang is true of literally every Bond film multiple times over.
Plenty of people have complained about "Bond getting the girl". Sean Connery is known as the most rapey Bond of them all. In one movie he even forces himself on a lesbian, and of course, turns her straight with his raw masculinity and dominant sex practices.
Exactly!! Its a play on that trope and they try to outdo them by bringing in a swedish princess lol The arsehole thing is just a different sense of humour. He's hating for no reason.
In one of the latest bond films daniel craig gets extremely rapey with someone who's basically been kept as a sex slave for years, yet people get annoyed about a bond parody having implicit buttsex which is specifically confirmed as consensual... after two showings of explicit hyperviolence not to mention the usual bondesque gun/sword battles lol
Yes Jeff, thank you for your patronizing comments and reminding us of how a discussion goes. This is as civil a discussion as I ever saw online and we're merely passionate about our views. Also, google "Sean Connery on hitting women" and "false equivalence"
He wanted a kiss. She was turned on from a near death experience and wanted to sleep with the fellow. Can't she just be a strong woman who is comfortable with her sexuality?
Massive problem with your "Sex as reward trope" argument. He didn't ASK for sex, she PROFFERED it!!! Good lord people, have you not realized that this fem-freq crap is toxic?
Um tbh the fact that she is a prisoner is what messes this up for me. As someone who has been held against my will you say anything and do many things to ensure safe release. At this point she doesn't actually know he is truly a good guy. She knows he just might let her out though with enough incentive.
+IDon'tReadYourResponses Please tell me you did not honestly compare saving the world to helping someone move a couch. And using the "your daughter" argument to try and make it more personal and shocking. Everyone, including your daughter, knows that the proper compensation for helping somebody move is pizza and beer.
Sex feels good. I sometimes do things which my partner likes more than me, so do a lot of people. Some people are aroused by the idea of sex as a gift, though not me personally. What's the problem? Is it because you think it's sexist? I've dated dudes, it happens in those relationships too, and even in straight relationships males can do things which females enjoy more. How did the left become so prudish, weren't you behind the sexual revolution? This was a consensual act in the movie, the character showed other traits than sex object. Don't shy away from politics necessarily, but maybe don't act so certain and finger-wagging about it
Thatcher Nap I don’t think it’s about the actual sex I think it’s about how oddly the situation around the scene came up he’s right “a kidnapped victims is like before I leave let’s have sex fuck everyone in my life that’s worried about me let’s have sex no ones gonna question what I did after I was released “
Eh... But really though, she's been gone for days/weeks/months/whatever... What's another 15-30 minutes of consensual butt-sex? None of her family is gonna be like "Where the FUCK have you been?! Eggsy saved the world 6 hours ago and it took you 7 HOURS to get home?!"
The part of Chris Rock as caretaker getting killed was an important part of the movie. It was the leverage the warden had over Adam Sandler to make him throw the game. Also, it was in the original, something Mr. O'Brien doesn't mention, this movie being a remake.
I was taking a script writing class when Kingsman came out. The scene goes to the overall theme that it is not the station in life you were born, but your actions which make you Noble. This is supported by scenes such as when Colin Firth's character beats the crap out of the thugs at the pub, which Eggsy later repeated (Manners maketh the man), and the tension between Arthur and Galahad over only nominating people of aristocratic families for the Kingman
Longest Yard scene was in the original version... they just botched up the context in the remake. In the original, they were trying to kill Burt Reynolds character, and ended up killing the wrong guy. Care Taker’s death then became further motivation to not only beat the guards, but physically hurt them
That ghost blowjob actually kind of pisses me off now. They had time for that but no time to explain why they're back to square one at the beginning of GB2, and why the single most important discovery in the history of mankind, verification of the existence of the afterlife, is simply ignored.
I only watch Cracked videos for Dan O'Brien and "Honest Commercials" Roger. I'm always disappointed upon clicking non-Dan/Roger content. I'd love to see a Dan/Roger crossover.
By watching a few seconds of the Sandler prison movie, it's clear that it's a remake of "Mean Machine (2001)" where the old inmate gets blown up by a bomb. Which explains why Chris Rock burns in this movie.
