Del Toro took the rule of cool and kicked it into overdrive in this film and I loved it.

Too bad they never made a sequel to Pacific Rim.

I loved Pacific Rim. The attention to detail and love that went into it was absolutely amazing. If only they made a sequel...

I was not expecting that you would do gipsy danger. 'A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one'

Dude, this is such a frickin good movie. I have seen far too many people just dismiss it as flashy eye candy but Del Toro did so much more than make transformers knock off. There is so much heart, detail, and quality storytelling in this movie its nuts. I know its not unpopular but man I feel like it's underrated.

"Today we face the monsters that are at our door and bring the fight to them! Today we are cancelling the Apocalypse!" Marshall Stacker Pentecost.

Remember kids Gipsy Danger is immune to EMP's cause she is analog!!! Loved that line in the movie :)

The jeagers we saw on screen were just the lucky few that made it from rough sketch to production, Del Toro literally had over one hundred designs witch he and his team eliminated in rounds to slowly develop the best ones and it shows. All of them are just so unique and memorable, most of all it demonstrates the love Del Toro has for the Kaiju and monster genre. And even though we haven't gotten any in depth media on the franchise since the original film came out, I'm glad the story could end in a satisfying and natural way.

Fun fact: The GD6 Chain Swords are personally designed by Mako Mori herself. And coincidentally, his father was a skilled swordsmith. Basically, she avenged her parents with their skill and knowledge in weapons inherited onto her.

del Toro knew his mecha and kaiju greats and it shows. Definitely one of my favorite movies ever.

Small contributions from Aperture Science included a revolutionary A.I. system to coordinate the jaeger.

I will be forever grateful to this movie for giving us BOATSWORD.

I really love how each shot of the fight scenes felt really heavy weighty. Everyone did an incredible job with the cinematography

According to Guillermo del Toro, the design team wanted Gipsy Danger to "feel like a classic, old gunslinger" (John Wayne) and designed its anatomy after that of a cowboy. del Toro also referenced tanker ships and art deco as an influence in Gipsy Danger's design. In particular, there were large flat areas with a lot of plating, with spots in between showing the intricacies of its inner workings.

I love Pacific Rim one of my favorite movies. Something I really enjoy was the speed of the Jaegers and Kaiju like you could tell the difference of the biological and mechanical movement while still feeling that weight they should have.

As the theme song to Megas XLR said "We dig GIANT ROBOTS. You dig GIANT ROBOTS. Chicks dig GIANT ROBOTS. Nice!"

an excellent jaeger and an excellent movie, it's a pity it doesn't have a sequel 😥😥😥

Del Toro needs to work on a sequel that takes place in the early years of the Kaiju war

i remember coming upon a video of Del Toro nerding out at a Gunpla and Kaiju museum which convinced me to rewatch Pacific Rim and man you can really feel his love from every aspect. It was amazing seeing all the money shots and classic mecha tropes on a big screen budget, such an amazing film so full of passion.

Pacific Rim + Titanfall 1's OST go together like chocolate and peanutbutter

You guys should really consider doing breakdowns of the variable fighters from the Macross/Robotech franchise such as the vf-25 and its many variants such as the super and tornado as well as the yf-29 yf-19 vf-27 and vf-31

This movie was so good, too bad they never made a sequel yeah, they never made a sequel i am sure of it

My absolute favorite badass quote from Stacker Pentecost (and what an EPIC name THAT is!) is actually NOT from the movie! It's from a comic book - Pacific Rim: Tales from Year Zero. *"I've never believed in the end times. We are MANKIND. Our footprints are on the MOON. When the last trumpet sounds and the Beast rises from the pit - WE WILL KILL IT!!!"*

I think a sad note for later, before the Uprising movie, is that Becket died somewhere along the line, after the first movie. Given what we know of Jaegers and how much strain the neural load of a full size Jaeger puts on an individual pilot, my personal thought is that the incident that killed his brother and had him piloting Gypsy alone for who knows how long until he got to shore damaged him internally. It might not have shown up at first, as he was entirely healthy during the first movie, but it might have cropped up afterward. Unlike Stacker's radiation poisoning (and neural damage caused by HIS own solo run), Raleigh's death might have been entirely a surprise. Or they knew... and just told no one outside the command staff and himself.

If your going to do mech breakdowns you gotta include some mobile suits from Gundam!

This was excellent. Now I'm going to have to watch Pacific Rim again.

There some problems with the movie, but foremost for me was that opening kaiju fight. NO fighter jock would "thread the needle" like that on an attack run. Not even when attacking a static structure with plenty of fly-through space. That was just visual masturbation on the part of the director. "Look how dangerous this monster is! It swatted an F-22 with a spiky thing!"

I knew that my computer was leaking info. I just rewatched the movie last night.

Could you guys do a mech video on the Landmates in the Appleseed manga series? That'd be a really cool breakdown of how much thought Masamune Shirow put into them!

Even Spacedock is like "let's pretend the second movie doesn't exist".

Please ignore the sequel

When will you take a look at the "Battlemechs" of "Battletech?" Some good stuff there y'all would enjoy I'd say

In a Jaeger, you can do more than fight the storm. You ARE the storm.

Video suggestion: gravitational weapons explained.

Such an underrated movie. Classic. I'm sure someday someone will make a sequel.

Idea for a series (or two), the steps of developmental and technological to building a Mech, or spacefighter, or any sci-fi vehicle or weapons system.

Would love to see the breakdowns of other Jaegers in the future. 👀

Mecha, the best genre of sci-fi. Emphasis on the Fi.

Well now you gotta do the rest!

Pacific Rim was such an EPIC movie experience. The mecha and monster designs were on point! I can still remember seeing it for the first time in the theaters in IMAX 3D. The second movie was such a disappointment on multiple fronts. I wished we got a prequel fleshing out the flashback sequences in Pacific Rim. I have the comics but would have loved to have seen that storyline gets the big-screen treatment.

Branching into mecha? I highly recommend Gurren Lagann and EXO Squad.

Powerful realist giant functioning mechs in fiction like the Jaegers and the Imperium's Empeor class Titans and Battletech's mechs are cool to look at in battlefields but believe it or not there is a functioning giant sci fi tank out there that is all big, functioning, and more powerful then a Baneblade could ever hope to be. Something most forget. Called the Bolo tanks. These big guys come with not just big guns, lasers, missiles, and shielding systems. They are world seige tanks and they are highly optimized and highly lethal and potent in entire campaigns. Need a anti kaiju weapon that would easily carry the payloads and yields to destory a kaiju on land without the need of nukes? You can call these tanks into battle to make a cooked buffet out of them. Remember when it comes to debates of Tanks vs Mechs. Even tanks if bulit correctly can catch up. Just like the Bolos show in their arenas of battle.

Pacific rim is one of the greatest movies ever made and I will 100% die on that hill. We will not be discussing Uprising.

The robot has a rocket on its elbow to punch harder and that is honestly epic

Please do one for Robot Jox (1989)

To this day Pacific Rim remains one of my personal favorite movies of all time because of how determined it is to just be a really good action movie about giant robots fighting giant monsters. And then there is all the attention to the smaller details that you can see throughout the movie. Key example is how Gipsy Danger evolves from the start of the movie to the end. From the slower mechanical movements in the Anchorage fight to the more fluid movements during the Hong Kong fight (but still maintaining the weight to make their size believable, unlike a certain other movie we won't talk about), and even the newer holographic HUD tech you see after Gipsy gets its upgrade. Its all shown visually to the audience, but not explained in-depth for 10 minutes through exposition. Love it.

Such a great design but I always found it hilarious how ridiculously light the Jaegers supposedly are.

"You will always find me in the drift" Stacker Pentacost

This reminded me I needed to buy the 3rd set of Sojourn chapters. Thanks!

Oooh, mecha breakdowns! Sign me up.

Reminds me of Liberty prime!

Now that's pretty cool.

MORE LIKE THIS!!!

This dude needs to cover Robot Jox. Take one of their mechs over a Jager any day lol

If you're now doing mecha breakdowns, perhaps you can do a video on the Eva Units from Neon Genesis Evangelion?

I have never clicked on a notification so fast!!!!!!!!! Also: It is not a betrayal of the message of Godzilla for it to be nuclear powered because these Kaiju are a metaphor for Hurricanes/Global Warming, and nuclear power is very powerful and relatively clean.

Gypsy danger usually specialises in paving driveways and dumping waste in scenic rural areas of the countryside when not fighting kaiju.

oh dayum. are you going to do other Mech Breakdowns too? i'd love to see one for the Zaku II.

Taken the first step toward the incredible world of mecha. If you ever need assistance in that field,

I saw this movie in an IMAX theatre. If you thought it was already an awesome and epic movie. I assure you. With a 4 story tall screen, its at a minimum 10x more epic and awesome. One of my favourite ever movie experiences and I adore the movie even though its premise is just the worst.

My Granpa used to tell me about a different kind of gipsy danger at thanksgiving, thankfully hes dead now.

That scene where Gipsy Danger dragged a whole ass ship across the streets of Hong Kong like it was a sword went hard as fuck

Unspoken rule of the Pacific Rim fandom: *There is only one film*

Mann.... I freaking love Pacific Rim. It's like every 90s kids' wildest dream come true.

If we're doing mechs might I suggest some from Tengen toppa Gurren Laggann? The scale and ridiculousness is too good to ignore. I mean we're talking about absurd weapons like probability-altering missiles, timeline targeting, and universe sized drills.

I remembered being obsessed with this film a while back

Gipsy danger my beloved

Everyone: "jeagers need two pilots" Scrapper: "hold my beer"

We've gotten extended coverage on Gipsy Danger and Gunstar both now! The only way the world could be better is if there was some sort of crossover that gave us a Gunstar that transformed into Gipsy Danger!

I want to point out that you released this the day of the newest Battletech Kickstarter. Good timing

I remember watching Pacific Rim with my best friends in 9th grade. We can't stop talking about it for weeks. Too bad they never make a sequal.

Love these movies. Wish we got a 3rd. Or at least another Netflix series. Can you do Gipsy Avenger?

Even though this movie's plot is basically a step by step guide in how NOT to win a war, it will always be one of my favorites. Giant robots punching giant monsters is everything I ever wanted as a kid. It reminds me of movies like Robot Jox, but with GOOD special effects.

Is absolutely loved at the 1st movie! The 2nd one was OK. Please consider doing a run down of all of the Jaggers!!!!!!!

Does this mean we are going to see Gundam statues?

I think 🤔 monster of Godzilla movie should do video of Mecha moguera 1957 1994 and Mecha mechagodzilla 1974 1993 2002 /2003 /anime 2018/ 2021 all so ready Play one

Kinda unrelated but (tl;dr venting lmao) Lately I’ve been looking a lot more at the Sojourn. What you guys have created is incredible, especially as far as world-building, at least from the little bit I’ve gotten from RU-vid. It’s also inspired a lot of random little ideas I’ve had, which I’d love to expand upon in art or writing but for the fact that I can’t really do much of either. I can communicate in writing fairly well but cannot for the life of me write a half coherent story, and writing multiple distinct characters is mostly out of the question. I used to be able to do art but eventually tried and failed so hard for so long to draw characters (or any organic shapes honestly) that I kinda traumatized myself into being unable to even put a pencil to paper; and while I can communicate fairly well, I have never really been able to fully realize any of my ideas with as much detail as I’d like, so I don’t trust that I could figure out how to describe something to an artist in such a way that what they produce would end up being close to what I had in mind. I don’t have much of an objective here besides ranting because the inspiration I’ve gotten has reminded me of how badly I wish I could actually create anything or do anything more technical than modifying and splicing together random bits of code or text Still I absolutely love both your original work and your other more standard content, and look forward to more of both

Striker Eureka gives me the vibe of skirmisher whilst Gypsy Danger gives me the feeling of fuck around and find out. Absolutely love the design.

I know that they needed to create stakes but the plan to stop building jagers and instead build a wall around the ENTIRE PACIFIC OCEAN was just so dumb.

Fantastic analysis! So much rule of cool here, which just enhances the whole vibe of the movie. Solid iron armor, obsidian-metal chain swords. Hell yeah!

Haven't clicked a video this fast in a while. Wasn't disappointed! Черный Альфа when?🥺

I find it hilarious that the AI is GLADOS.

"When you see a hurricane coming, it's a force of nature, You get out of the way. But when you're in a Jaeger, you can fight the hurricane and win." -Raleigh Beckett

Please please PLEASE do Cherno Alpha next!

It was an awesome action movie as long as you ignored all of their explanations for why they did things and how they worked. None of that made sense, but we got robots punching monsters so it's all good.

god i wanted more of this but the sequel was awful

Quite curious if space dock does a video on the OG gundam RX78. It would be a riot i bet.

not really a breakdown of the mech, just a description of its capabilities and fights found in the movies.

you should do more mech breakdowns, like some robotech or gundam

I thought pasific rim uprising just a random Power Rangers kids movie...

Pacific Rim was an amazing film. It's too bad it never got a sequel.

Would WH40k Necron antiparticle beam go through a Kaiju?

4:25. If that was the terminology for the hazard it makes a lot more sense when they talk about "chasing the rabbit"

I personally think the writers saw Megas XLR and wanted to make it a movie.

The Jaegers have arrived First comment down, boom.!!!!!

Gipsy is pretty much a jack of all trades type of Jaeger

Now do Striker Eureka! :D

This movie is so good. One of the big reasons, is that it simply gives the viewer what it promised!

How about a video on Leopardon, Japanese Spider-Man's battlebot? He was recruited by Ultimate Spider-Man/Doc Ock into the Spider Army and officially is part of Marvel canon, he took part in the battle against Solus, Cosmic Spider-Man and Miles Morales used the Sword of Vigor to kill Solus in Spider-Geddon #5 in 2018.
