Green Beret Reacts to Top 8 Gun Fights in Movies 

I highly recommend watching "Léon: The Professional", it's a cult classic. In this, Léon specifically trains for that "hanging from the ceiling" over a long time.

Not having the club scene from Collateral on this list is criminal!

If you want a fun movie and a great fight scene, watch Grosse Pointe Blank. There’s an awesome underrated fight scene with John Cusack and Benny “The Jet” Urquidez.

Just enlisted in the Army. Going Ranger then going special forces

Another thing that I appreciated about Scarface is that the movie takes time to show Tony not just grab a gun, but also spare magazines and grenades and place them in his pockets. He's then shown reloading his gun. Between being high on stimulants, having good firepower and extra ammo, and taking up good positioning, I always bought how long Tony lasted during the mansion attack. On a separate note, no LAPD officers were killed during the North Hollywood shootout, though at least one officer committed suicide years later as a direct result of the incident.

I have many suggestions but I'll only do one this time: The underseen and underrated movie Wind River. Directed by Tyler Sheridan (writer for Hell or high water, Sicario, Yellowstone). It involves a rookie FBI agent investigating a murder on a reservation who has to rely on help from locals. There are two shootout scene and I think they are pretty realistic and brutal. One is the agent and a local hunter investigating a crack house. The other is the climax of the movie so it's worth looking at the run up to the shootout if not the entire movie. (spoilers ahead) The shootout itself involves a team up of local law enforcement vs armed security guards. It lasts probably under a minute and besides people getting thrown in the air by a high caliber rifle, it felt pretty realistic to me. The way one law officer freaks out because he knows the guards are boxing them in makes me think he was written as a veteran. And he has one of most badass last sentence in a movie. I'd love to hear your take on it. Hope this sells it to anyone who cared to read. The movie itself has a good message and will potentially make any grown men cry. It's not a joy ride.

Great work as always, guys. But on the hanging from the ceiling bit I should share a story my mom told me way back around 2002-2003. She is/was (about to retire) a Chicago Police officer and she came home one day laughing about an arrest that night. They were pursuing a suspect that ran into an abandoned tenement building so they had to clear each room with no luck. They get to one of the last apartments and it's clear but Mom gets a funny feeling about the closet they checked and goes back to it. All the other officers are watching and quiet as she looks in the closet. And as she stands there, she hears faint but strained breathing and looks up to find the suspect, and I'm quoting her exactly, "Spider-Man-ing" on the ceiling (She called it that since the 2002 Spider-Man movie was still super fresh in our minds). She instinctively shouts to show his hands and he fearfully obeys....... and drops face first onto the ground and just about knocks himself out. They have no idea how long he'd been doing it but the mad man had done it for at least as long as it took for them to get to the floor he'd been hiding and worked himself up there. This story has a funny extra bit when they were filling out their reports when, unknown to her, her coworkers called the suspect 'Spider-Man' in their reports and beat her to handing them in to their Lt. Mom turns in hers later and about 10 mins later gets called back by her Lt, who is suppressing laughter and I'm gonna sum up the exchange. He says her report is different from the rest, she asks how so, he proceeds to mention her lack of identifying the suspect as 'Spider-Man' in her report, she stares at him before leaning out the door and calling the other arresting officers a "bunch of fuckers" to their delighted laughter while the Lt loses his shit joining in, so she tweaked her report to include 'Spider-Man'. So, thanks to her and her coworkers, some ex-con has the police given alias of Spider-Man and he probably has no idea.

Have you guys done Collateral with Tom Cruise? If not, I think you guys would enjoy it. I know I certainly would enjoy your run down on it.

The Way of the Gun end shootout is very cool. Underrated action movie with good tactics throughout!

The border crossing scene in Sicario needs a look. So much tension and build up in short scene

I'm really surprised Collateral wasn't included. The alley scene and the nightclub. It's one of those situations that you find out you're watching a thriller and didn't know it (also a Michael Mann film). That being said, loved the video, guys. Love the channel. Thanks for making it!

Nice review just a little note at 13:27 you say multiple LAPD officers were killed in the North Hollywood shootout. Multiple officers and civilians were injured but the only deaths in that incident were the two robbers.

My neighbor was a ranger in Vietnam with multiple tours. He told me the most realistic movie in his opinion was predator. He said most of the time they were fighting an enemy they couldn't see and always felt like he was being watched. He said the predator reminded him of the feeling of Vietnam.

Collateral damage, the town and den of thieves all have great scenes as well!

Way of the Gun, the ranch in Mexico with the Galil....awesome scene.

I'm sure it's been said, but one of the best gun fight scenes that's also realistic is the end scene from Way of the Gun.

The gun fight running up several flights of stairs in Atomic Blonde was fantastic

03:31 ... (Perfect time stamp--Hehheh) Dang...I wish you had been cadre when I was going through my training...lol

The combat scenes from the Escape from Tarkov raid movie are probably some of the most realistic yet entertaining scenes I've seen, you guys should check them out.

Fun fact about the movie Heat. The actors were trained in weapons handling, shooting on the move, and bounding tactics by prior British SAS guys.

No officers killed in North Hollywood, multiple shot , all survived, great video over all!

Love the explosion of the 203 round as well. It wasn’t the typical fireball you see in the movies. Much more realistic.

Bro Tactical rolls are crucial to success in every thing in life. I remember having to practice that crap. Never used it EVER but fun as heck to learn.

Commando rules so hard! Hilarious and fun!

It's ya boy, Hayden from Hesperia. Great video guys. 10 out of 10. Much luv, keep it Cali homies.

Actually Buck, I think Tony Montana (Scarface) was in the Cuban army and Neil McCauley (Heat) is former USMC. The pilot episode of Person of Interest has two of the best action scenes I've ever seen in TV or film. Plus a story you might like. The lead character is former SF.

How great is it that the Matrix is nearly 25 years old and still looks awesome

Could you cover the two police station scenes from First Blood? I'm talking about the hand-to-hand escape in the beginning, and then the final showdown.

Still waitin on that Hardcore Henry review!

Are you ugly?! HAHAHAHAHA I’m dead…… 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Gooood recopilation 😁👌 The only thing missing was to include some clip from Black Lagoon🤣🤣🤣

I'm sure y'all knew already, but the fight choreographer from the Matrix is the guy who went on to direct the John Wick movies.

Deadpool 1 right the first scenes so the shootout right at the begining 😂😂

The Thin Red Line. Great cast of characters. Deserving a review.

John Woo’s HARDBOILED

You guys should review some of the shootouts and tactics in "The Way Of the Gun". Very cool movie too.

Could you take a look at John Woo’s films with huge shootouts such as A Better Tomorrow 2’s final shootout, the final church shootout in The Killer, along with the hospital and tea house shootout in Hard Boiled?

The fun part about Wanted was that it's a wacky action film based on an even wackier comic...though curving bullets is slightly cooler to watch than, say, drawing a knife out of a sheath on one's back to kill a bad guy with his own bullet.

The only time I did concentrated fire was in Boot Camp in 1976. It was night fire, and we used tracers. During that light show I remember seeing rounds actually hitting each other and ricocheting in crazy directions, and thinking; "there ain't house-fly could get through that lead storm!" So when I first saw "Commando" I was greatly amused by how Ahnold could run out in the open, with about 10,000 bad guys firing at him (on full auto no less), and make it out alive, and without a scratch, then turn around with his M-16A2 and mow down about 500 of those bad guys while firing from the hip, without having to change mags, while throwing grenades he had depinned with his teeth, and operating a flame-thrower with his nipples.

Thanks for doing these. I love em all. Have y'all talked about doing the Miami Vice movie? Also directed by Michael Mann (Heat and Collateral).

You gotta do more of these ones like the gun compilations

Haven't seen it in your catalog of videos, if I missed it disregard; Heartbreak Ridge would be a fun one to see you guys react to. Love what you guys do!

John wick 3, the Halle Berry gun fight with the dogs, is up there for me on top scenes!

Yep those top 8 firearms fights in movies are awesome XD

"Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan" you boys should give it a squiz

There are some interesting gun fights in: Way of the gun, Equilibrium, Paragraph 78 pt 2, Versus, Face-off, Hard Boiled,

Can you do a BnB on Wrath of Man or other Jason Statham movies please? He’s been a security/cop/military guy in many roles and it would be cool to see how you guys react to the Holywood action. Great video lads!

I think I saw a video from Shawn Ryan, a former Navy Seal, talking about how he trained Keanu Reeves for John Wick! Also Predator would be good for you guys to breakdown! Awesome video yet again!

Hey, it would be great to see you guys review Predator with Arnold. It's another golden classic :)

Suggestions for next time. The Wild Bunch. Sam Peckinpah 1969. The Getaway. Sam Peckinpah, 1972. Tombstone. George P. Cosmatos, 1993. The Magnificent Seven. John Sturges, 1960. Public Enemies. Michael Mann, 2009. Hard Boiled. John Woo, 1992. A Better Tomorrow 2, 1987.

Would love to see you guys review "The accountant"

There's a dialogue in the movie 'Commando' "I eat Green Berets for breakfast," you guys should have totally responded to that, lol!

I feel like Equilibrium should be on this list on the merits of being one the first gun fu movies. I saw someone mention Wind River. The climax trailer park shootout with LEOs and the crooked security guards. Pretty realistic on the count of both parties get fucked up. The part where the bad guy finishes off one of the cops and pats the dead cop on the back as if he’s saying, “congrats, you got me a few times too dude, respect for trying so hard”.

You should check out the end gun battle of The Wild Bunch and the end shootout of the Steve McQueen version of The Getaway.

My short list of shoot um up movies that deserve attention are Collateral, Rambo (Burma), Way Of the Gun, Predator and Shooter with Mark Walburg.

Have you done one on the Boondock Saints 1? There is some creative work...

Little confused on the clip shown from John Wick. That was a gun fight? Sick scene, for sure. But certainly wasn't a gun fight. 🤣

I can promise you I would never throw my expensive ass handgun because it ran out of ammo. That always cracks me up.

The "corridor shootout" from Where Eagles Dare with clint Eastwood throwing granades back at the QRF unit who are blasting off an MG 39/42 DOWN THE CORRIDOR at him.... Oh please give it a look, I think you'll like it.

I loved hearing your thoughts on those scenes from those movies. I'd greatly appreciate your take on The Way of the Gun. I thought it was a great movies. I'm not certain about realism. Thanks. Take Care and Stay Safe.

Other iconic scenes you guys could react to and rate: 1. the church scene from Kingsman: The Secret Service, 2. D-Day from Saving Private Ryan, 3. Any of the gunfight scenes from Shoot Em Up, (maybe just do the whole movie? Haha 4. Hot Fuzz ending, 5. Django just after Candy and Schultz are killed, 6. The beginning scene from Casino Royale. Just some ideas if you guys find the time. Love the content all the same! :)

Yall completely forgot the most accurate portrayal of a tactical peel... Tears of the Sun...

I’d love to see a breakdown of Way of the Gun

Top 8 Movie Gun Fights- John Wick, Den of Thieves, Heat, Extraction, Lone Survivor, Act of Valor, Blackhawk Down, Matrix.

That's Professional Civilian...

I see the club scene from Collateral has been mentioned a bunch In my opinion tom cruises characterbVincent from the film was inspiration for John Wick The end gunfight in The Way of the gun is absolutely epic

For Heat, the cast was given weapons and tactics training by ex-SAS soldiers Andy McNab and Mick Gould

Dude, The Professional is an awesome movie.

Great reaction guy's Commando just get fun entertainment can't take it seriously

Y’all should check out the Dark Knight! We would love to see you break down the tactical aspect of Batman from a GB/officer point of view

6:30 I question only if the 203 round had enough time (revolutions) to arm, but every single one of those clowns would definitely have been sliced all over by the grenade's shrapnel and the wood splinters...nasty!!

The shootout in Heat is the best, without a doubt

Yall should check out Harsh Times. Christian Bale as a messed up ex-Ranger trying to be LAPD.

1986 the FBI Miami shootout.

How about the "The Green Berets" the 1968 John Wayne filmed that hyped up SF during the Vietnam War, Also an overlooked film "Danger Close" about Australians fighting in the Vietnam War small unit tactics.

Random question but what's the music playing in the background of this video?

Tony Montana was in the army in Cuba, when tony and manny made that first deal with Diaz’s men to pick up the coke one of the henchmen asked is they know how to use a machine gun and manny said “yeah we were in the army in Cuba”.

I was wondering why you guys didn't put in the SEAL Reveal lol

Heat was SAS training. It is crazy how you can tell who the advisors are by tactics used in a movie or TV show. Much of the scene was very much like Bravo 20.

@FNG academy Buck!! Bro if one day you would like to do a realistic mini show, like Deadliest warriors it would be fantastic for your background experience, for example if you could invite 3 special operators from different communities that you know, for example Andy stumpf from the Navy SEALs, Your Buck from the Green Berets CIF and some Marsoc operator from the marines, because I say this, because a show where operators are exchanged professional roles and then give their opinions never has been done. For example, to be more specific, you could prepare a place in the forest with some well-known people who play the guerrilla role and that Andy Stumpf, who is a Navy seal, does the work of the green beret, infiltrating the place you prepared, either by helicopter or diving and training the acquaintances, speaking a little Spanish and then together with the trained guerilla assault an unreal objective already prepared by you. And vice versa

Watch the entire "Leon" movie. It's awesome. Also: "Heat" is the GOAT.

I've been practicing my twistydoos

I would love you to check out The Way of the Gun with Ryan Phillippe and Benicio del Toro made in 2000. The final shootout is epic.

It would be interesting watch you guys break down movies set in a much older time. I'm thinking The Last of the Mohicans and Master and Commander. Would be an interesting comparison to how wars were fought back then to now.

"All the Devils men" had good scenes

Just watched The Godfather again, the wife had never seen it. Al Pacino is almost unrecognizable in The Godfather lookin so young. From 1972 to Taxi Driver in 1976 then Scarface in 1983 Pacino sure came into his style he is known for now.

I would love to see you guys review Sinners and Saints (apartment scene)! It looks legit and I like the movie

You need to watch shoot ‘‘em up

I'd be interested to see what yall think of Eye in the Sky, it was Alan Rickman's last film and it's all about drones and collateral damage. who knows how accurate but you guys might have fun.

Love you buck , 😂

Would you guys be interested in doing one reaction for some of the shootout scenes from Hong Kong Directors like John Woo and Johnnie To ? Definitely not advocating those as the "best" shootout scenes but I am kinda curious about how opinions from a Trained Silent Professional and Abel's know-how in camerawork would converge considering some of the films from that era was what arguably introduced and inspired "Gun-Fu" to Hollywood. Recommended scenes are listed below. Thank you. 1: Hard Boiled ( Hospital Shootout ) 1992 2: Hard Boiled (Tea House Shootout) 1992 3: The Mission | 鎗火 (1999) | All Epic Sniper & Shootout Scenes | 1080p (especially the Mall Shootout Scene) 4: Exiled | 放‧逐 (2006) | Apartment Shootout Scene Bonus : Breaking News | 大事件 (2004) full movie.

Sean, when you were talking about the North Hollywood Heist, i just wanted to make a small correction: you said multiple cops died. In fact, nobody died besides the 2 robbers.

Yall need to watch extraction 1 and 2

Check out The Final Option (1982) It's pretty boring until the actual rescue action starts in the end. But the music and action is superb. It's about the British SAS and a American Embassy. Semper FI 1982-88

Tony Montana did have military experience. He and his best friend were army buddies in Cuba.

Scenes that would be good for review. The end shootout of "Open Range" possibly my favorite western shootout, despite some ghost shots, and people flying after being shot, particular worth watching on a HT with a good subwoofer and surround sound. The to me all time hilarious shootout ending of "The Shoot" 1976. Very overlooked movie about some Veterans that can't let a certain incident go, slow paced but worth it. (watch the movie no cheating or you will ruin it for yourself. ) Several good gunfights in "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid". "The Way of the Gun" final threeway shootout between bagmen, mobsters, and guns for hire. "The Untouchables" stairway shootout, that I can't watch without laughing. The "L.A. Confidential" Motel Shootout which I recall being one of the few correct bullet count shootouts with lots of reloads. The "Wild Bunch" shootout with Gatling gun, aka "Battle of Bloody Porch" aka Omaha Beach in the wild west. I'm sure YOU have seen it, but "The Great Raid", for goosebump dialogue, excellent tactics, and probably best film moment for Rangers. Raid at Cabanatuan being the most lopsided victory by a highly outnumbered force maybe in American history. Think we killed 1000, and lost 2 people even though they were outnumbered like 3 to 1. "Hold the Dark (2018)" for an LEO's worst nightmare scenario, not very believable, but it's a terrifying situation, and interesting topic of how police should/would react. "Miller's Crossing" Dannyboy scene, just cause...gratifying tommy work.

Some movies are so cheezy that they deserve chips and salsa.

09:30 Well there was some sort of piping there he was laying over plus an attic access door? Seems like a compromising position still though.

Do you think the safety on the 40mm would have come off in Scareface?

Greatest shootout ever: The Wild Bunch.
