Ironically, Depp's monotone singing actually fits the fact the character doesn't really give a shit about London or about most people.

Sweeney Todd, his wife and his daughter are all unknowingly in the same room and it’s agonizing

Unpopular opinion: Something we need more of are horror musicals‼️‼️

It was actually Mrs. Mooney who made pies out of cats (poor things!). Mrs. Lovett tried to catch cats to do the same, but they were too quick for her.

i’m sorry, but johnny depp monotonously singing “smells like piss. looks like piss. this is piss” is the funniest thing i’ve ever seen.

We did this play in my high school and we built a functioning barber chair slide, we all got to ride it after the show was over.

RIP to both Alan Rickman and Stephen Sondheim. Huge respects to them for bringing one to the most bloodiest musicals to life.

"Basically, that was the first song I ever sang in my life." Uh, Johnny? I haven't forgotten Jar of Dirt. 🤣

I love it how Johnny Depp goes from being “the friendliest man with knives for hands” to “The scariest man with barber stands”.

Also known as "Jack Sparrow Murders the Cast of Harry Potter" Edit: Fuck TERFS

My sister watched this movie with me last week and when Toby took his blonde wig off she just whispered "I'm Hanna Montana" and I lost it.

btw for those of you out of the broadway/musical theatre loop, Sondheim's work is notoriously difficult even for professional singers, the fact that non-professionals did such a good job is really a testament to their skill.

11:06 "Smells like piss." "Looks like piss." "This is piss."

James A. Janisse you have no idea how long I've waited for this Kill Count.

After this, Anthony would go on to crossing the pond and start terrorizing the small American town of Hawkins, Indiana from another dimension.

James energetically saying "Sorry little buddy!" after mentioning a kid being sentenced to death by hanging, is probably the funniest moment on this channel.

Fun fact: Helena Bonham Carter was pregnant with Tim Burton's kid while filming the movie, and she didn't know it until they were halfway through filming.

“Smells like piss.” “Smells like- ew!” “Looks like piss.” “Wouldn’t touch it if I were you, dear.” “This is piss- piss with ink.” Always gets me I swear

It's my personal head canon that Joanna and Anthony found Tobey and they became a good non toxic family

James had his beard on 0:05, 2:41, 3:22. He shave off apant area between his beard and sideburns on 4:13, 4:47, 6:57. He shave off his sideburns on 8:20, 8:29, 13:51, 14:06. His beard is less hairy and shave between the goatee and a mustache on 15:08, 16:28, 17:31. His goatee is shaved off all that's left is his mustache on 18:24, 23:39. He shave off his mustache and he has a clear face on 26:58, 27:49.

Hearing Johnny Depp speak normally (not in full character mode) is more shocking to me than hearing him sing.

I love how the Kill Count has gone from simply counting kills to a summary filled with extra tidbits of information and James' fantastic commentary about the movie. Fantastic improvement, 10/10 content.

God there’s so many Harry Potter characters in this movie, I did appreciate the similarity in character quirks though.

Saw this with my 87-year-old grandmother. She laughed her ass off at the murdery bits.

Who else loves the fact that over the course of the video, James shaves his face more and more? It's absolute genius.

Imagine if James just proceeded to cut his beard piece by piece without revealing the sponsor until the end We would be like "WHAT IS GOING ON"

In memory of Steven Sondheim, the legendary composer of the original play's songs. I seriously wonder if he had thoughts about this kill count, but regardless, huge thanks to him for making it possible.

“Did you write this?” “No.” “Who did?” “Stephen Sondheim.” “Who is he?”

‘he reminds him of a younger version of himself’ oh shit cause they’re both grindewald

“Smells like piss” “Smells like- ew” “Looks like piss, this is piss, piss with ink”

Fun Fact: The music of Sweeney Todd makes multiple references to the Dies Irae (the musical representation of doom/death and also the theme to The Shining) and one of the few songs that doesn't have the Dies Irae is Anthony's song. Coincidentally, Anthony is the only named character (I think) that doesn't kill someone or end up dead. The RU-vidr Sideways has a great video on all of this called "how the music spoils Sweeney Todd (and why that's a good thing)"

"Mrs. Lovett, I wanted to be her since I was eleven." Dreams do come true glad she got a chance; she did an awesome job but singing for Sondheim must have been a little frightening

I love how James beard disappears slowly has he has different beard styles

I want to just appreciate the fact that James literally kept shaving his face every few cuts back to him. He is over the top but so damn amazing

There was so a clearly explained rule. It was the winner would be the one who gave the fastest and smoothest shave. Todd was the fastest and smoothest shaver whereas Pirelli (aka Davey Collins [in the movie] or Daniel O’Higgins [in the Broadway show]) just flaunted about and shaved the (poor) customer slowly and roughly while talking about his past customers who appreciated his “shaving skills”.

It’s funny when he says “because Todd is reminded of a young him” regarding Anthony, that actor played a young Grindelwald

This is Johnny Depp’s revenge for not being casted in Harry Potter.

I preferred Depp's singing for the movie too because it made his character more grounded and gave life to his hatred for life! Where as the Broadway singer sung like an angel yet acted like a demon.

I don't really agree that Depp's singing was amateur. It's not Broadway clearly but it's better than amateur, he can harmonise really well and hold a tune.

6:53 -- Bit of a correction on this: Mrs. Lovett is not actually the one making pies from cat meat; she was singing about someone else known as Mrs. Mooney, who is said to also run a meat pie shop. This is indicated by these lyrics from _Worst Pies in London..._ "Mrs. Mooney has a pie shop. Does a business, but I notice something weird... ...lately all her neighbors' cats have disappeared. Have to hand it to her; what I calls enterprise- poppin' pussies into pies. *Wouldn't do in my shop.* *Just the thought of it's enough to make you sick!"* Furthermore, there is also the introductory part of _A Little Priest_ which has these lyrics... "Take for instance Mrs. Mooney and her pie shop; business never better using only pussycats and toast." If _Worst Pies in London_ tells us one thing, it's that Mrs. Lovett's shop was not successful in the least, so it makes no sense that she would say this about her own business. Based on these lyrics, Mrs. Lovett is referring to another woman (Mrs. Mooney) who has become something of a rival to her. This last bit is just a suspicion on my part: I suspect that Mrs. Lovett is implied to have apprenticed under Mrs. Mooney; when she sings the line, "And I'm telling you, them pussycats is quick," it sounds like she is genuinely speaking from experience, as if she had tried to chase and catch the cats before. But she already mentioned she didn't think highly of turning cats into pies, which may indicate that she was required to under professional obligation. What's more, when Toby speaks to her about what happens in the workhouses, Mrs. Lovett barely responds, shrugging it off as if she already knew. This might be an indicator that Mrs. Mooney found Lovett in a workhouse before hiring her. Again, just a suspicion.

“I like ya cut g” the movie

“After condemning a child in court to a death by hanging” “Sorry little buddy!” Dude what

RIP stephen sondheim, the man that gave the world sweeney todd. (1930 - 2021)

Johnny Depp was a musician and the guitarist of the band Rock City Angels before he ever became an actor. He was broke in the early 80s and was working on and off as a stage hand and was looking for a good-paying gig where his band could play. His roommate was a struggling actor, and suggested to Depp that he try out for a role as an extra in an upcoming television show, if only to get a bit part to help towards rent that month. He was cast as a lead in "21 Jump Street" and then a part in "Nightmare On Elm Street" and the rest, of course, is history since he was, at one time, the most in-demand and highest-paid actor in Hollywood. Like Will Smith (the first rapper to win a Grammy), people forget that Depp was initially a musician. Best to you-

So Bellatrix LeStrange, Severus Snape, and Peter “Scabbers” Pettigrew are all in this film together??? Wicked...

Took me way too long to realize he was steadily losing facial hair.

The worst Jeopardy clue ever is "This dark film directed by Tim Burton stars Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter"

“No one’s gonna hurt you, no one’s gonna dare. Other can desert you, not to worry, whistle I’ll be there. Demons will charm you with a smile, for a while, but in time, nothing can harm you, not while I’m around.”

When Johnny Depp doesn't get casted because of something and (someone) Johnny Depp: *smells like piss* , *looks like piss* , *this is piss*

The rules of the contest were “the fastest smoothest shave is the winner” Beadle literally says that right before the contest begins.

10:47 If you intentionally mishear it, it's like the boy on stage is calling for the authorities. *_Ladies and Gentlemen, may I have you attention....POLICE!_*

RIP Stephen Sondheim and Alan Rickman.

Fun Fact: This video was just an excuse for James to shave.

I feel bad for Johnny Depp. He was accused of domestic abuse for so long that he lost almost everything. However just recently it was revealed that his wife was the one abusing him.

WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT “Beadeledelee” at 13:31 I’M CRYING

19:20 fella in the back looks both confused and excited

Is just me or did I notice all the Harry Potter characters in this movie Snape, Bellatrix Lestrange, young Grindelwald, older Grindelwald, and Peter Pettigrew

Johnny can act and he can sing, such a talented and legendary actor. I also heard that he was being abused by his wife, who threw a vodka bottle at him, severing his finger. We need justice for Johnny.

I love the fact that Sweeney Todd had soooo much Harry Potter actors.

forget demon barbers and cannibalism the scariest thing in Sweeney Todd is basic victorian history

It’s kind of insane that they were like “let’s get all these stars for the musical. Oh they’ve never sung. That should be fine.”

So nobody’s gonna point out how peter pettigrew and professor snape teamed up in this movie?

"Hey who's that new guy that looks like Benjamin Barker? and moved into Benjamin barker's old place? you think that's Benjamin Barker?" I'm freaking 💀💀💀💀

This is the first time I’ve ever actually _seen_ Stephen Sondheim the person and it’s kinda surreal. I guess I kinda just thought of him as an ethereal god-being of musical theater who’s been around since the dawn of time or something. Weird.

“I like ya cut g.”

My absolute favourite scene in this whole movie is just "When you get it. If you get it..." "... ahh!" "Good you got it." gold

Alan Rickman can give chills in Harry Potter but this is a whole new level and it's perfection

Helena Bonham Carter in this movie is just delightful. Love this!

I don’t know why but Alan Rickman looks like he still has a grudge against Harry Potter

The funniest thing about this video is that James's face progressively gets more shaved as the video goes on 0:05 4:47 8:29 13:51 17:31 18:24 23:39 26:58

We need more musical horror.

Alan Rickman is an amazing, talented, phenomenal actor... Rest Well Sir Rickman

The fact that James shaves more and more off as the video progresses is honestly one of the best things I've seen a youtuber do with a sponsorship.

“Pussy pot pies” *this part killed me*

Rest In Peace Sondheim, you will be remembered for centuries to come.

25:10 Benjamin Barker

When Johnny Depp yells "Benjamin Barker" as he kills the judge gives me chills every time. Awesome movie.

When you FINALLY notice James slowly has been shaving his beard in all the cut-backs 👏👏👏👏 thanks for all the hard work James (and Chelsea)! This kill count was SO worth it!

I'll chime in with another fun fact: in the opening scene with both Johnny Depp and Jamie Campbell Bower- - they both played Gellert Grindelwald ... Jamie in Harry Potter Deathly Hallows and Johnny in Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them as well as Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of Grindelwald! Lovely to see them both together in the same film.🖤 And Johnny certainly did Steven Sondheim proud in this film for sure!

I would love to see a short film about Anthony and Joanna getting married and living with Toby

9:43 can we just appreciate the fact that he is blatantly admitting to everyone in the streets he's gonna kidnap someone and nobody cares?

Why does Allen Rickman look like he still has a grudge against Harry Potter

"smells like piss" "Looks like piss" "This is piss" This- This is just- The best delivery of these lines I've ever heard.

James’s Welcome Home 8:20 sounds like one of the Banana Splits characters 😂

6:48 Actually, it was Mrs. Mooney that was making her pies out of cats. If you listen to the song, you'll hear Mrs. Lovette say that she noticed her neighbors cats have disappeared and noted that it was clever of Mrs. Mooney for using that method of meat pie making.

“Excuse me, are you the man who did an entire Law and Order episode for his audition?” “Umm uh nope.”

It’s incredible to me that so many of the stars in this movie are all in the Harry Potter franchise. Professor Snape, Peter Pettigrew, bellatrix Lestrange, both young AND old Gellert Grindelwald

I now exclusively refer to Beetle Banford as Beetleetley

"With the price of meat what it is, when you get it..." "If you get it..." "Ah" "Good you got it."

“DEATH BY HANGING” *casually says* “sorry lil buddy”😂😂😂

16:57 Epiphany has to be my favourite song in the soundtrack I get chills whenever it is played

Objection, Hearsay 🤣🤣

This movie was perfection. Singing, acting, actors, and this kill count was awesome, every shave in between.

The progressive shaving is such a nice touch to this kill count.

Rest in peace Stephen You will always be a legend

One of my fave horror movies and musicals of all time! Thought I’d give this and some of Sondheim’s other works a rewatch since he died recently. Rest In Peace Stephen ❤️

>Making a Pie Chart of Murders who were Turned into Pies. It is Perfect.

In Scotland we have a barbers called Sweeny Todd's and it's right next to a greggs(bakery sort of thing)

“Waitress, more-(James) SHAVE-butter!” Had me cracking up.
