God, sometimes I forget that’s Hugo under there aka Agent Smith, but yea, with that reminder, watching this video back, I can just imagine someone editing a “Mr Anderson,” in there.
"No, what you have are bullet, and the hope that when your guns are empty, I am no longer standing. Because if I am, you'll all be dead before you've reloaded." One of my favorite lines ever, so badass.
@@YSleepish You wrong. One of the solders also reloaded but he never got off a shot. And Creedy wasn't killed like the rest because V wanted to take his time with him.
"Beneath this mask there is more than flesh... beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy... and ideas are bulletproof...!" gives me chills every time, this man invokes fear in mortal men in a way no normal man ever could, including some of us watching
It shouldn't be fear, it's hope! The greatest weapon against a tyranny; any tyranny - especially nowadays - is to just simply think and say no, thanks. George Orwell says in a kingdom of lies, the one who speaks truth is treason. Mark Twain states it's everyone's responsibility to stand up what we believe in and, in truth, make our stand there. Wisdom comes from fear but truth comes from thought: if you are afraid of the truth, you aren't thinking. If you are thinking about fear, you aren't wise. Be full of hope, have faith in yourself, be true to yourself and be vigilant on those who say otherwise - that's what V wants. AND that is indestructible. (He might have said it more but I think he realized those Magnums went through his steel plate).
Though it's not said in the film, in the graphic novel it's explained that the experimentation that was done on him gave him somewhat superhuman reflexes and strength - which would explain how he survived long enough to kill everybody.
Actually it's just described as hormone research with a pituarin/pinearin mixture, which causes a psychotic breakdown in the man in Room 5 and gives him a totally magnetic personality. Nothing is said about superhuman reflexes and strength.
@@Lightscribe721 It's not explicitly said as such, or stated differently, it's not as "obviously said" as "superhuman reflexes and strength". But it is heavily implied to be, and more specifically, in this scene.
For anyone who didn't know, V is superhuman, but not like a big time superhero. Thats why he was able to survive all those bullets for a short while even though they pierced his armour.
Very possible that due to the fire, either his pain levels are so high as to make them mute, or he does not feel pain. So damage to body can be largely ignored, at the very least he is not susceptible to passing out from the damage he takes.
Also when he throws the first 2 knives he quickly makes a V out of them. Creedy's revolver shoots 5 rounds at the end as well, instead of 6. The whole movie is full of Vs and 5s.
"we have guns." "no what you have are bullets and the hope that by the time your guns are empty i'm no longer standing, because if i am you'll all be dead before you've reloaded." -best line ever!!
Wrong guns. If your target doesn't die, you don't drop everything for a knife, you get a bigger gun. Clarence J. Boddicker would have made short work of him. Because of the bigger guns!
You have to remember, besides enhanced strength, endurance and pain tolerance, V posses heightened senses (due to cell mutation). Slow motion is used: 1) so you have an idea how fast, accurate and strong V is suppose to be (10 guys died before they were able to reload their guns, and the last guy (the 11) before Mr. Creedy, receives a knife to his head with such strength that it goes through his cranium). 2) So you can appreciate every second of the fight and gain full understanding of it.
I understand one thing for sure, Creedy didn't know how to load out his tac team. No backups, no shotgun, no kevlar, which would have stopped most of those knife strikes. The regime might have been stable if not for the thuggish gestapo head. If it had been someone like Putin V would've been recruited.
@@sid2112 V being as smart and dangerous as he is, would’ve been a much better ally. Only an idiot would make a man like that their enemy, and the regime leader was that idiot.
2:13 Everyone is talking about the amazing writing, which I love too, but I have to appreciate that camera pan with the main focus being on V's knife but that the pan stops right on Creedy dropping the casings out of his revolver. It feels so cinematic having the action in the background to what should be a boring event, loading a firearm, but it isn't because of the implied pressure. They're racing, Creedy to reload and V to dispatch everyone. It has the same feel as an old western cowboy duel but with the unique component of one person using knives while out-numbered.
The impression i got from this scene when he said "ideas are bulletproof" even though he didnt have a steel plate and died right at the beginning, there was no way stopping V anymore and Mr. Creedy is already dead. The people already stood up to tyranny...all because of V. You're the man!
I think it's reminiscent of President FDR in that books can't be killed by fire and certain tyrannies were into that at wartime. The fact that people remember, think and pass on info to others - the things that the government were suppressing - meant that, in time, you can't use force to stop humanity.
Just watch the whole movie and you'll understand. One of the best fight scenes and most intense. I just got the goosebumps all over me when i watched this for the first time.
If you pay attention to this fight scene there are five refrences to the number five and the letter "V" in it. The first is the fact that Creedy and his gaurds are standing in a V formation,the second is before he throws his knives he makes a V out of them,the third is after he throws the first two knives they make a V five times (this one you have to pause consecutivly to see),the fourth is that Creedy fires only five bullets from his gun at V,and the sixth one is that V makes a "V" on the wall
" No what you have are bullets and the hope that when your guns are empty I'm no longer standing. Because if not you all will be dead before you've reloaded. " my favorite line in the movie
OOOhhhh....my favorite scene of the whole movie, with one of the best quotations I've ever heard: "Beneath this mask, there's more than flesh. Beneath this mask...there's an idea, Mr Creedy. And ideas are bulletproof!" I really LOVE this scene!
For those that are griping about it, though it is not obvious in the Film, in the original Graphic Novel V was experimented on. He was granted superhuman reflexes, speed, strength, durability, as well as incredible immunity system and healing factor (no not like wolverine, but stronger then a human by far). This is what granted him the ability to facetank so many bullets, and still keep going- only dieing afterward. That and of course his inhuman willpower he had before the experimentation.
"What you have are bullets, and the hope that when your guns are empty I'll be no longer standing, because if I am, you'll all be dead before I've reloaded." V has the most badass lines in this movie! If you think about it though this isn't a fight scene. It's a massacre!
Easily one of the best movies ever made and if this is not up in the top most epic final fight scenes of all time I'm not sure what makes a good movie anymore.
"No, what you have are bullets. And the hope that when your guns are empty I'm no longer standing, because if I am... You'll all be dead before you've reloaded." And then he proceeded to demonstrate said claim. Epicly.
@@YSleepish Two of them if you count Creedy. But he took them all out after eating, like, 300 bullets, plus he choked the life out of Creedy, which was highly satisfying to watch. We so much need V now, if anything just to get us to the bad guys molesting us for two years. We can do the rest.
It's a great line -- which is why it's been used in so many movies: Iron Man, Serenity, and Van Helsing are just three of them. There are many more that I'm forgetting at the moment. (If anyone out there wants to remind us of some of the others, I'd be immensely grateful...)
@@sam-kx3ty Depend. Assuming they were using hollowpoints (likely since they assumed him unarmoured), much of the impact would have been absorbed with the remaining shrapnel not being immediately lethal. Honestly, Mr Creedy's pistol probably dealt the most damage both in terms of bullet type and because he got an extra volley off into the already fully compromised plate.
Regardless of what his armor was made of, he was hit by over 150 bullets (10 shooters with mostly modified Beretta 92's, plus the leader guy with 12 shots from his wheel gun). Laws of averages are that some of them will find unarmored spots.
@justahengin87 ... None of the weapons used in this scene are firing armour-piercing rounds, but all three weapons (Glock 17, Beretta 92 Inox and Smith & Wesson 686) would easily penetrate the crude armour plate that V is wearing. This film is awesome, and that about sums it up.
"The only thing we hav in common is we are both about to die", that has got to be one of the most badass lines in movie history. We all die, but not all of us get to say something so incredible and spine chilling to an evil person before we take them with us.
Aside of all the symbolic movie stuff, the fact that the fight takes place in closed quarters, in near darkness means that regardless of how many guys he takes on he has the advantage of tactical speed. So even knifes beat guns in this one, at least for a while.
The closing scene makes me cry, because it's a dream all down-trodden British people desperately hope for! Governments should never give a country's citizens...nothing left to lose!
Great scene, great movie. I've read the graphic novel too and it was even more dark and gritty posing an alternative world to the one we know today very well. I think as a film adaptation this was excellent even though this scene doesn't happen in the movie it does justify the action/violence aspect of a thriller, so in a way it keeps faithful to the genre.
While it MAY be cheesy, let me also throw in here that V is superhuman because of the experiments done to him; and he has armor. So therefore, it is plausible for him to be able to withstand it all and die from it later as he did after the battle.
You know what's frightening: the fact that he pulls out that body armour lot of bullet holes and blood and you automatically realize the blatant fate of this main character.
The only video that can make me cry. I think I might have to watch it a couple more times to produce some tears, but this was the saddest part of the movie, for me anyways.
honestly when i heard about this movie for the 1st time i though: oh well another super hero movie...tough life,beath the bad guys, save the world, bang the hot bimbo... But when i watched it i was blowned to the wall..i watched it twice in a row! Its THAT good !!!
@leverbart Actually, the metal vest decreased the bullet speed right before entering in his body. He had alot of strength, so this could be possible but probability is slim, but still possible. The only thing what is impossible is to have the strength to break creedy's neck!! It's still one of the best movies i've ever seen!!! every year i plan to watch this movie on 5 of november which will occur in a few days :) So i can remember the awesomeness of that movie
2 guys initially with one that figure 8 motion, then gets the duds on the immediate left and immediate right of Creedy then slaughters 10 more guys in seconds, all together 14 dudes slaughtered with nothing but bloody knifes & fancy Karate gimmicks. This scene is a 10/10!
"We have Guns... No What you have are bullets and the hope that when your guns are empty I am no longer standing, because if i am, you'll all be dead before you've even noted" - V For Vendetta (2005)
thats the epic about him ,, he wants them to fear him and their people he wants them to know what he wants , what they did to him was monstrous , so they created a monster, and his speechs , ARE AWESOME !
@Gamez4Review i kinda saw it as an action movie with a very important purpose,but thats just my opinion. im pretty sure im free to have one of those right?
Yeah, haha, it appears so!. They kinda explained that (though vaguely) in the flashback about Larkhill, and about his reactions to their experiments and how it changed him, increased strength and reflexes, and then of course he survived that whole thing which gives you a hint as to his...I don't know, power or whatever you'd call it. But he's still human, hence he didn't end up surviving.
