That's one of the things Watanabe wanted to put in with this film. We see something similar in emotion, and that is with Pierrot in Session 20 and Spike expressing genuine fear within the first 5 minutes. Watanabe wanted to show more humanity in Spike and kind of tweak his character to display this. Spike isn't the one in control here, whereas he usually is in the series and does most things in a cool and calm way. It shows that he can be defenseless at times and is able to display vulnerability, even if it has to be forced out of him. This is the only time we see Spike completely helpless in a physical sense.
@Rachael Poulin sure it didn’t have stakes, but the execution was so well made. I knew Spike wasn’t going to die, obviously, but like someone else said the movie is the only time Spike is truly helpless and cannot defend himself, especially since from the look of things he could have beat Vincent. To me that makes the fight scene even greater; that I know the MC will survive but I’m still watching in anxiety (and awe because damn, that animation)
3:12 the detail in this scene was so telling to both Spike and Vincent's inner psyche. Spike doesn't flinch when the bullet passes his skull hence his lack of fear in dieing. And Vincent not losing his train of thought shows he's never caught off guard. The little intricacies is what makes this series and characters a one of a kind.
Exactly. They don't make good shows like these anymore. With the fluid animation, spot-on voice acting, edge-of-the-seat fighting sequences, and how (almost) realistic it all is. I love the oldies! They make me think of the good days
@fartmagizewarth the animes are objectively not even bad, ( also i'm tired of Shierke and Isidoro not having a voice ), not even by reading the manga, the thing is that the manga is just so good is like comparing Gold with dust but still pretty gold with a Saint Polished Diamond though 👑
I agree with you honestly, this type of anime has me binge watching every episode and the movies. Today's anime is less focused on fighting and smooth animation more on school based plots, guns, and love stories. It's crazy how much anime changed.
Spike gets shot right through the chest and falls from somewhere high again. I can only imagine what's going through his head. "Shoot me and throw me out of a window. You really ARE an original."
Spikes like “I’ve heard this all before… from myself, literally, isn’t it enough that I drive myself crazy with this crap, I have to hear it from some high price bounty?!”
That scene is a brilliant piece of film making. The camera angles, the cuts, the whole ebb and flow. Stuff that is only in the scene for a second, but so detailed, like Vincent reloading his pistol. It only lasts an instant but it cuts to three different angles. Amazing!
caedus1985 yeah pycho pass is cool. but this art is ridiculous. sword of the stranger is the only movie since to really impress me in terms of character animation.
My favorite thing here is the way he holds that grenade. Like it's supposed to be the heavenly gift of the messiah, the solution to everyone's problems. The writers really went to a lot of detail and effort designing the bad guys for this franchise.
@@colindowden2182 Bruh you're just like this one JoJo fan I encountered once. Barely makes a joke not even mentioning MHA by name and y'all lose your shit. Grow a fucking pair and deal the fuck with it.
Oh, that Aizawa. My first thought was the would be chief of NPA from Death Note. @@colindowden2182 To throw an openly backhanded compliment, I find Aizawa's one out of three MHA characters with pretty cool designs, if nothing else.
+Cristian A. (RainbowCris) Intense Rivalries such as these , and others like Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami make me love these specific fictions even a helluva lot more. Fate is such a Fascinating Thing.
One thing I always found funny about that scene. Guy hears gun shots in the next car, and still decides to play Mr. Cool and stand up reading a paper. Kinda his fault he got shot in the head.
2:58 the scene of Vincent Holding the gun up sideways as it pans down to his figure is one of the greatest cinematography pieces I have ever witnessed. Simply amazing
"I have no fear of death. It just means dreaming in silence. A dream that lasts for eternity..." Man, this guy really could be Spike’s evil yet equal twin, huh?
Yes, they're similar in many ways. Albeit, Spike lives in the past, continuing a dream, but keep that for him, continuing to keep going in the world in a certain way. Vincent have no past, wants to die, burning the world for it, breaking the dream, and he wants his past and suffer to be shared.
If I remember correctly, this was actually confirmed, Vincent was meant to be a kind of foil to Spike; both incredible fighters, with indomitable spirits, both with rugged secretive past that shaped them, both driven to this existential existence of wondering if they are alive or dreaming., Both are caught in a "living dream," but both see it differently. Whereas, Spike is seeing the dream as a reflection of his past that he's struggling to overcome--being stuck in this place of half-existence while staying true to himself while carving an existence out in a harsh world. Vincent is the darker look, if a person who fell int that kind of mindset forgoes all sympathy, love, empathy, they just want people to suffer like they do, to make the dream stop at all cost, even if it meant destroying the world--and since it's a dream, is there really any repercussions for his actions, he thinks? Vincent is living in a nightmare, and unlike Spike, instead of seeing it through and not giving into the horror that might be, Vincent is adding to it. The two are quite literally the Alpha and Omega.
I like to draw so I really love the detail with the animation. Like Vincent firing his gun on the train and the people around him/ background characters reacting to it.
robert fury The artist taking his time to get the detail down of how someone in real life would react to a gun shot near them. Like the kid covering his ears and people ducking the down. The artist made sure not to leave out their reactions even though they're background characters.
I'm not sure who the animator(s) are who did the scene of Spike chasing down Vincent in the train, but the animator who did the scene where Spike and Vincent face off (@ like 3:38-4:03) is Yutaka Nakamura. You should look him up on UA-cam if you're interested in that style of animation.
I think Spike assumes he's better than most anyone at martial arts, which is true for the majority of his bounties. Vincent can see this and waits until he can get a good strike/grab on spike so he doesn't have to have a long, drawn out fight like we see at the end of the movie
watching this in the theatres is a whole nother feeling with the audio blasting seeing it up close. Palms were sweaty watching all those heights scene with the train
I just love 90s adult anime art style. I have been drawn to it since I was 8. There's just something about how it conveys emotion that you can't get anywhere else.
+Tomacity(Rast) I think it's from Kali. we do those trapping drills. Only wing-chung were more "sticky." It was shown to him by Dan Inosanto, one of his top students. It was incorporated into wing-chun because Bruce Lee hated to be restricted by a single style. (Be like water)
Fun fact: Vincent is voiced by Daran Norris, who also played Cosmo from the Fairly OddParents, Dick Daring from The Replacements, J. Jonah Jameson from The Spectacular Spider-Man, and Knock Out from Transformers: Prime.
@@predator2262 that’s not what I’m saying, I’m saying that he got his ass severely beat and thrown off a train so I’m pretty sure he could survive a sword slash to the gut since he could survive this
Having finished the series before watching this movie, I paid close attention to the fortune teller’s line “it was not a good day for you to die, so you did not” which was either some good foreshadowing or good commentary depending on when you watched the movie.
"You're an original aren't you." that single line alone has so much connotation to it. Spike, being a long time bounty hunter, has seen this sort of mentality from a bounty head so often that it has almost become repetitive. "I have no fear of death, just a dream that lasts for an eternity" is the mentality that all vicious criminals have and that is there folly, they don't seem to understand that they are just another nuisance the world has to go through until they are eradicated. They are nothing but a rinse and repeat that do nothing to benefit the world, only to remind us that these things happen because human and society are flawed in nature. Vincent, although very entertaining, does nothing to change this stereotypical evil villain role, just like almost all evil ppl in that he doesn't fear death and so death he wishes upon others. Spike probably subconsciously picked up the mentality of evil doers because his job is to chase them and so in his condescending remark "You're an original" he portrays that Vincent really isn't original and that most, if not all, evil is inherently unoriginal, I think.
It’s inferred that spike used to have that mentality before he met Julia and even after that he didn’t really care about dieing or living, just pushing the odds
It's a terrible line. Check the subtitles. It's more like "What an asshole" or something like that. Same thing with Spike's continual lines about "paying back a favor." In the subtitles it's "kicking his ass" or something similar.
we have a butthurt shounen fanboy here :P honestly thats what I think, though some shounen fights can be good, I was like half joking because of the shitty budget the shounen anime has. Take it with a grain of salt.
3:43 So that's where the last episode of Boondocks Season 3's sequence was from. It was reminding me of where they referenced one of those shots from, and that's awesome. Aaron loves Cowboy Bebop!! =D
The afterlife is a dream that last's for an eternity - Vincent Man I love cowboy bebop it might be episodic but it's still legendary it brings philosophical concepts to the table such as the past's influence, existentialism, existential ennui and loneliness. Definitely in my top 10 in the short anime category
I remember the first time I saw this film. My friend and I were already becoming Bebop fans in our late teens when it was airing on Adult Swim for the first time. One night he and I were at a mutual friend’s house where all the guys in the clique tended to gather for a while. Cool, older dude in college. Many D&D sessions too. I digress. We were watching and this scene right here, was so bad ass. It was pure Bebop but upgraded to a new level with the production value. There were some technical feats achieved here by the animators, like the panning away from the holy hand grenade, to the smoothness of those pylons swinging by below in the water. Very cool math they used. It’s not shown here but the explosion just after the scene clips was done so well with the speed of the monorail.
I agree, the only wrong thing about this movie is for not being live-action. Keanu Reeves would've been a spot-on Spike Spiegel but we never got to see that.
@@KEN-1991 live action is not superior to animaton, how is that a flaw? keanu reeves might have had the look of spike down just fine, but as cool a dude he is he's not an actor with much range. Maybe there's something else I've not seen that shows otherwise, but reeves can really only play one type of character, and while he does play that type of character really well, spike isn't that type.
@@ahumanbeingfromtheearth1502 Well that's true, Keanu Reeves would've also made a better Scott Summers/Cyclops better than James Marsden's portrayal who turned the optic blasting mutant into a wimp who is 3 inches shorter. One of the other reasons why he can portray Cowboy Bebop's Spike and X-Men's Cyclops is also because The Matrix (1999), proved how extraordinary he is at being an action star, and a bada$$ like those two characters.
@@LJ-hk4tv What do I think of it? Much like The Last of Us Part II, it looked 100% well made, but it's too Woke, which is the turn off. Remember when the irrational white-washing used to be a thing? Now it's the other way around. They were all miscasts in Cowboy Bebop who were only there for political reasons that have nothing to do with the source material, just like Henry Golding's Snake Eyes, Mindy Kaling's Velma Dinkley, and even the whole cast from the up-and-coming Powerpuff Girls by CW.
The movie does stop or let go from this moment on. Everytime I see Spike with the headphones and he hears Vincent is on the move I get chills and excitement every single time.
Anybody notice the attention to detail in this scene 1:56 when they go into the tunnel? Shows the processing speed Vincent has. Within that moment he deduced his best time to kill some would be when his lights adjusting from coming out of the tunnel
+Maxy Aedo Cool! I didn't know that, I honestly would have liked Vincent even more if he had been voiced by Crispin (then I would be down because Vincent's girlfriend is nothing like Seras, AxS fan, haha) Thanks ^_^
I dont really know the characters names on that show aside from Naruto. I never seen an episode. That clip was popular about a couple years ago. Search Naruto Bebop to find it.
+Tony Nguyen Narutard detected. It's a frame-by-frame COPY. If they truly wanted to do a 'homage', they'd choose different camera angles and reference Cowboy Bebop by it's unique staples, not a Jeet Kune Do-inspired fight scene. Stop defending this instance of plagiarism, you tool.
haven't seen this for around 10 years but this scene is always one if my favourite scenes ever and in its own way my one favourite scene with the cool fighting.
3:44-3:57 Spike is literally the most baddest badass of anime with the sickest martial arts / closed armed combat skills 3:52 Bruh, Spike’s sick wing chun skills
Difference between Spike and Vicious: Spike made sure the girl screaming next to him got pushed down and out of the line of fire. Vicious might have very well held her in front of him and used her as a bullet shield.
I really do like how they have Vincent walk and move and such, he moves as if this a dream for him, really selling the point that he's not there in mind and bodies like he's numb to the world.
Absolutely love that show! I never noticed this until you pointed it out so thanks! & your right Samurai Jack is coming back so the creator mentioned at fan meeting that it may not be far behind!
The dude decided to destroy the world because he couldn’t understand whether he was in a dream or in reality 💀💀💀💀 Best villain motivation in history of best villain motivation.
Did just show why anime is truly breathtaking. The whole scene was a masterpiece. It truly captures what the whole movie was about, from character, music and direction.👏
I just noticed that the gun Vincent is using is an SVI or STI 2011, similar to the old style "Edge" that STI used to put out around the time this movie came out. Super cool attention to detail there.
Maybe i know theres some sort of fighting style that does moves only made for killing and i believe theres a move similar to the chest thing i forgot what the fighting style was called though but yes that thing is possible or at the very least something very similar to it is humanly possible (sorry for horrible spelling)

For anyone still wondering it called future blues powder

Josh D. It’s great
It comes with the territory I think. You should check out akira if detailed setpieces are your thing.
The amount of sheer strength it took for Vincent to put spike through a subway window with one arm is crazy.
As if having the grip strength to grab someone by the ribcage to the point of drawing blood isn't obvious enough.

For those of you looking for the soundtrack at the beginning it's called "Central Station", unfortunately it's unreleased.
3:43 So that's where the last episode of Boondocks Season 3's sequence was from. It was reminding me of where they referenced one of those shots from, and that's awesome. Aaron loves Cowboy Bebop!! =D
***** What?! No way? He did that particular scene?!! That's extremely awesome. Going to check him out now!! :D
Aaron also copied a scene frame-by-frame from Naruto
friendly reminder that Vincent's voice is Timmy's dad
What
@@tanner1152 Same voice actor as Cosmo.
Dude's been in like every damn thing.
Darren Norris.
The afterlife is a dream that last's for an eternity - Vincent
Man I love cowboy bebop it might be episodic but it's still legendary it brings philosophical concepts to the table such as the past's influence, existentialism, existential ennui and loneliness. Definitely in my top 10 in the short anime category
- ibf egyptian reincarnation theory is actually true and your spirit gets recycled lol..... -
and what's existential ennui ?
Do you think that True Detective is inspired by Cowboy Bebop philosophy.. it could be kind of fun if it was..
I remember the first time I saw this film. My friend and I were already becoming Bebop fans in our late teens when it was airing on Adult Swim for the first time. One night he and I were at a mutual friend’s house where all the guys in the clique tended to gather for a while. Cool, older dude in college. Many D&D sessions too. I digress.
We were watching and this scene right here, was so bad ass. It was pure Bebop but upgraded to a new level with the production value. There were some technical feats achieved here by the animators, like the panning away from the holy hand grenade, to the smoothness of those pylons swinging by below in the water. Very cool math they used. It’s not shown here but the explosion just after the scene clips was done so well with the speed of the monorail.
Spike just really can’t get along with guys whose names start with “Vi-”
This is one of the best movies ever!
I agree, the only wrong thing about this movie is for not being live-action.
Keanu Reeves would've been a spot-on Spike Spiegel but we never got to see that.
@@KEN-1991 live action is not superior to animaton, how is that a flaw?
keanu reeves might have had the look of spike down just fine, but as cool a dude he is he's not an actor with much range. Maybe there's something else I've not seen that shows otherwise, but reeves can really only play one type of character, and while he does play that type of character really well, spike isn't that type.
@@KEN-1991 What do you think of the live action series then?
@@ahumanbeingfromtheearth1502
Well that's true, Keanu Reeves would've also made a better Scott Summers/Cyclops better than James Marsden's portrayal who turned the optic blasting mutant into a wimp who is 3 inches shorter.
One of the other reasons why he can portray Cowboy Bebop's Spike and X-Men's Cyclops is also because The Matrix (1999), proved how extraordinary he is at being an action star, and a bada$$ like those two characters.

What do I think of it?
Much like The Last of Us Part II,
it looked 100% well made, but it's too Woke, which is the turn off.
Remember when the irrational white-washing used to be a thing? Now it's the other way around.
They were all miscasts in Cowboy Bebop who were only there for political reasons that have nothing to do with the source material, just like Henry Golding's Snake Eyes, Mindy Kaling's Velma Dinkley, and even the whole cast from the up-and-coming Powerpuff Girls by CW.
The shot from below with Spike sitting on the seat firing off rounds looks so cool
If I had a dollar everytime Spike came close to death.
The movie does stop or let go from this moment on. Everytime I see Spike with the headphones and he hears Vincent is on the move I get chills and excitement every single time.
The detail into the design of the guns is masterful 2:56
Vincent: What's your name
Spike: Spike Spiegel, why you wanna know ?
Vincent: I'll be seeing you in another world
Pure badass!!!
4:08 Vincent’s strongest move
"I blow the bounty if I blow you away." "I have no fear of death" That wasn't the point Vincent.
2:12 Curiosity killed the cat.
Damn I forgot how this is one of my favorite movies
Anybody notice the attention to detail in this scene 1:56 when they go into the tunnel? Shows the processing speed Vincent has. Within that moment he deduced his best time to kill some would be when his lights adjusting from coming out of the tunnel
I have never realized how epic is this masterpiece Anime back then
Does anyone else think Vincent looks like Alucard's true form from Hellsing Ultimate VIII?
+Lady Leomon I can see that.
Fun fact: Crispin Freeman (Alucard) was originally going to voice Vincent.
+Lady Leomon Ali Al Saachez from Gundam 00 looks like Vicent with red hair.
+Maxy Aedo Cool! I didn't know that, I honestly would have liked Vincent even more if he had been voiced by Crispin (then I would be down because Vincent's girlfriend is nothing like Seras, AxS fan, haha) Thanks ^_^
+Darth Jaulce haven't seen Gundam Zero yet but will look it up. Thanks ^_^
Man that track that plays while Spike is being dangled out the window... Divine
Can we just all take a minute and enjoy that soft, sexy, deep. STEVE voice.
Every time I see this scene I remember that weird rip off scene in Naruto when their may character used exact same animations at Spike in this fight.
It was Naruto vs Neji right? I could be wrong.
I dont really know the characters names on that show aside from Naruto. I never seen an episode. That clip was popular about a couple years ago. Search Naruto Bebop to find it.
+Rinnegan Sasuke no lol kishi is not an animator
+David James it was saskue vs orochimaru
+Tony Nguyen Narutard detected. It's a frame-by-frame COPY. If they truly wanted to do a 'homage', they'd choose different camera angles and reference Cowboy Bebop by it's unique staples, not a Jeet Kune Do-inspired fight scene. Stop defending this instance of plagiarism, you tool.
How does spike make everything he does look so damn cool
Anyone else see Elektra's car and think that was the last thing you'd ever expect her to drive?
I was expecting a cool little sedan. Guess her payroll is good enough for that ride.
Such an amazing movie, love the bebop universe.
Saw this in theaters and lemme say, you really feel the weight of the fights in this movie. The animation is amazing. 3:56 made me wince.
Literally don’t make them like this anymore …. This shit is incredible
electra is fucking hot!
900nrg dude wut?
haven't seen this for around 10 years but this scene is always one if my favourite scenes ever and in its own way my one favourite scene with the cool fighting.
Nobody gonna act like how close Spike was about to die by that other train. Literally 2 seconds
3:44-3:57 Spike is literally the most baddest badass of anime with the sickest martial arts / closed armed combat skills
3:52 Bruh, Spike’s sick wing chun skills
Vincent's theme is so damn amazing
Zangetsu when he was human.
Bruh
Seriously
Difference between Spike and Vicious: Spike made sure the girl screaming next to him got pushed down and out of the line of fire. Vicious might have very well held her in front of him and used her as a bullet shield.
The chase music in this scene is so good, shame that it's not on any of the Bebop soundtracks. I'd love to hear the full version
The soundtrack is called “future blues”
@@bridgett2414 its not in the album
Where is it then?
@@krizakabona8394It’s nowhere. It’s the only Bebop track never put out on an OST. The only way to hear it is in the movie.
@@MrSoopSA dammm sucks
I HONEST TO GOD thought the little clips on his suit jacket were his ribs poking out of his shirt and I almost had a heart attack
here's a little reminder that Volaju and Cosmo from the fairly odd parents share the same voice actor
Over 20 years later and it still blows most modern anime out of the water with animation and fluidity.
Tbf the cowboy bebop and most anime movies have a very high budget compare to tv series anime
I really do like how they have Vincent walk and move and such, he moves as if this a dream for him, really selling the point that he's not there in mind and bodies like he's numb to the world.
Spike and vincent look like brothers in my opinion. Vincent being the elder brother and spike being the younger brother of course
Omg the way spike fights reminds me of lance fighting from sym bionic titan...
I think this is where titan got their inspiration for lance...
I loved sym biotic titan. Too bad cartoon network cancelled it. They always cancelling the good shit.
+Asmar Craigs true, but if samurai jack is coming back maybe there's a chance for Titan to come back as well...
Absolutely love that show! I never noticed this until you pointed it out so thanks! & your right Samurai Jack is coming back so the creator mentioned at fan meeting that it may not be far behind!
Hopefully
The dude decided to destroy the world because he couldn’t understand whether he was in a dream or in reality 💀💀💀💀
Best villain motivation in history of best villain motivation.
Hand drawn anime are still the best
Damn how interesting that one crazy character is especially in how sadistically he disposes of Spike
Can somebody tell me what's the name of the song in the train persecution scene? (0:41 - 1:38)
Sounds cool like hell.
It’s never been released.
I’ve always loved the voice actor of Spike, he did Wolverine a few times, his voice is a definition of bad-add
My god that side kick was beautiful
If any director should direct a live action Cowboy Bebop it would have to be Tarantino.
Yes
Tarantino doesn't do adaptations, only his own works.
RukudoSage69 you know inglorious bastards was an adaption right? Or Djano Unchained?
micheal cameron Django received an adaptation, it wasn't an adaptation.
ForeverRed3000 now you are splitting hairs.
3:43 Epic beatdown
Did just show why anime is truly breathtaking. The whole scene was a masterpiece. It truly captures what the whole movie was about, from character, music and direction.👏
Vicious told Spike that he's the only one who can kill him, but you gotta admit Vincent came just as close a few times himself
Keanu Reeves is amazing in this anime
im saying bro lmao. john wick going crazy
this is whole scene is so good even naruto have to rip it off ( yeah come at me )
holy shit I totally agree
It's made by the same animator lol
really when
when naruto fights neji in part 1, and i think when sasuke fights orochimaru for the first time.
It's funny cause Boondocks ripped Naruto off the fight scene too lol the never ending cycle
Starscream and Knock Out from Transformers Prime
Wait what?
Matthew Mason Starscream=Spike=Steven Blum
Knock Out=Vincent=Daran Norris
+Minolica thanks... Neat!
Wolverine and Cosmo.
I just noticed that the gun Vincent is using is an SVI or STI 2011, similar to the old style "Edge" that STI used to put out around the time this movie came out. Super cool attention to detail there.
Bro Vincent stormtrooper aim 😂😂😂
Spike couldn't die to Vincent. He and Vicious were destined to kill each other.
Dear god Spike's inability to breath after the attack was WAY too realistic jesus christ
Is that hand claw thing even possible
Vincent is a super soldier
Qliphothian What other abilities does Vincent have?
Apart from being from super strength he is very fast and has good aim.
Qliphothian I can also guess that he has a resistance to pain since he doesn't flinch when Spike shoots his hand
Maybe i know theres some sort of fighting style that does moves only made for killing and i believe theres a move similar to the chest thing i forgot what the fighting style was called though but yes that thing is possible or at the very least something very similar to it is humanly possible (sorry for horrible spelling)
