In the very first episode, Boyd talked about how Raylan wore his hat properly, riding easy instead of pulled down over his ears. Boone went for the middle of the hat, and missed Raylan's dome.
not only that but both Boone and Raylan talked about where they aim...Raylan said chest (centre mass) while Boone said he always went for the kill shot ie head in case they wore kevlar ...backfired on him :) was a great ending
I watched an interview with the guy that played Boon.He was so very appreciative of the opportunity and praised everyone on the show.Seemed like a very nice fella.
Jonathan Tucker is an underrated actor. He's great in Kingdom, a show about a father and his sons, who are MMA fighters. Even if you're not into MMA, it's a great show.
And in the end both Loretta and Ava show their true colors. At least Ava waited to see he was actually alive before she cut and run, but Loretta made sure he wouldn't be hurt again.
@@THEMAX00000 oh believe me - it was more a matter of being impressed she actually waited and didn’t cut out as soon as the bullets stopped And bodies dropped.
You missed the ending. Ava is pregnant and trying to get away from everyone and everything. Gave up $8 million to Duffy to escape. Loretta stayed and presumably ran a lucrative marijuana business.
I have always thought this is the best shot scene in the whole show. That wide shot after they both go down, with the beautiful background… stunning. But I juuuust noticed Raylan’s hat flips from upright to upside down when we go from wide shot to close up. I’m just going to pretend it was the wind offscreen and not continuity error because it really is perfect otherwise.
I remember this scene. Boon gambled and went for the harder shot and failed. It’s a harder aim plus Raylan wears his has higher so Boon probably wasn’t able to gauge where Raylans dome was. Raylan took the easier shot and went for center mass, easier to aim but may not kill right away but still won in the end.
What amazes me is that an experienced gunman like Boon wouldn't wear a vest. Even a lightly-rated one would have kept him alive long enough to put a second slug in Raylan. I like his character, but always felt Raylan got too much of a break from the writers.
@@dphalanx7465 Actually it emphasizes his character. He's confident with his skill & certainly living for the thrill from this kind of one on one shoot out situation.
@@dhanang Given what you just described, I wonder how audiences would a take a character that actually followed the Overlord/Mastermind's List; dotted all the "i's" and crossed all the "t's" of his plans; killed/eliminated all loose ends, etc. All it requires is someone willing to subsume emotion & ego to pure discipline.
I absolutely loved Justified. A great series from start to finish where “the bad guys” were as intriguing as “the good guys”. If they ever decide to do a proper adaptation of Stephen King’s “Gunslinger series” Timothy Olyphant would be perfect as Roland The Gunslinger.
I know it's just a TV show, but this scene right here is exactly why real gunfighters in the days of the old west didn't face each other down in the street and have a fast draw duel like you see in the movies. It's why a famous old Hollywood trope is a complete myth: the idea that once you became famous for being fast and deadly with a gun, you'd never have a moment's peace again, because aggressive young punks would come out of the woodwork everywhere you went, trying to get famous themselves by being the man who killed you. Wild Bill Hickok, John Wesley Hardin, Jesse James, were all shot from behind, taken completely unawares. Billy the Kid was shot by Pat Garrett, as Garrett waited in Billy's darkened room for him to return, and then shot him while he was silhouetted in the door. The actual gunmen from that era tried their best not to give an opponent any opportunity to shoot back at them. I think this is because those men, veterans of _actual_ gunfights, who saw how gunfights really went down, understood that an enemy doesn't automatically just fall over dead because you hit him first. Often he's just wounded -- _maybe_ mortally, but maybe not -- and fully capable of shooting you right back before he snuffs it. The old west's real gunfighters understood this, and conducted themselves accordingly.
Yeah, you're right on that. The only real historical "gunfight" I can think of is the O.K. Corral, and that only happened because one side went to stop another group from forming up. Neither side had any idea there was even going to be a gunfight 30 seconds before it happened, and then blamo! 3 men hurled into eternity in an instant.
@@robadamson1 I know this comment was a few months ago but there were many gunfights in the Old West--they just didn't match the Hollywood version of two men meeting each other in the street for a preplanned dual. Those were indeed rare. During modern times that fact became twisted by the myth that gunfights themselves were rare. No, just the Hollywood version. Most of the real gunfights were spontaneous, happened at short range, and many times involved alcohol. But they happened a lot. Read up on Ben Thompson, who was considered one of the greatest gunfighters. He ended up killed with his friend via ambush in salon in 1884. Or Luke Short. Clay Allison supposedly killed over 30 men in his lifetime--ended up dying when he became drunk and fell off a wagon, which then promptly ran over his neck and killed him.
Not only that Raylan is using a sluggish Glock while Boone is using a quick draw Colt Peacemaker. Raylan was quicker and also smarter, center mass is how you win
Boone told Loretta he always went for the head because the law would have a vest on. Boone pulled first, and if he'd aimed for the chest Raylan would have been a goner.
Every week, I'd watch the new episodes with my mom at her place and when this happened we both yelled "No!" at the same time and cheered when Raylan woke up. I miss those days
When I saw Raylan fell, I screamed Yes when Boyd was arrested , I scream no. When the guy who played the assassin for the Detroit mob was playing Washborn on Serenity and died, I screamed Yes. People in the theater hated me. I was sad when in rebel one, his character died. buy i was screaming Yes, when Darth vader showed up and killed a whole bunch of rebels. that was very satisfying. Oh and in Boba fett final season, I scream yes, when Oliphant died under Cad Bane. I just pretent that was the actual ending of Justified, and Primeval did not exist. like the third series of Star wars.
@@slewone4905soooo, you just arbitrarily go against the grain… or is it something you inherently don’t like about those hero characters? All for anti-heroes, or even villains, winning… but this just seems to be pushing buttons for a reaction. So half a year later, here’s your reaction.
That really sucks, he just got a hole in his hat, a laceration on his head and Ava just stole his car. If that guy weren't already dead, Raylan just might shoot him again.
wanted to echo a comment I saw years ago about this shootout: if you slow down to 0.25, you can see that Boone pulls first, then Raylan pulls, and both effectively shoot at the exact same time. (and, as other have said, Raylan does this with the sun in his eyes.) impressive as all get out.
See there's the difference between a trick shot & a gunslinger. Boone is the trick shot always going for the head while Raylan is the gunslinger always going for the sure kill
But wouldn't head shot be the sure kill, while center mass isn't as sure? Not to mention center mass is no guarantee the other guy doesn't get a shot or two off as well. I get your point though. Might say that Raylan aims for reliability, rather then showing off.
@kopicat2429 head shot is too specific a target where like here ya might just nick it, miss or get lucky. Now with center mass you're bound to hit something vital. But I do get your point
Boon was also stated in an earlier episode that he always aimed for the head because he was worried his target might be wearing body armor @@BigBWolf90
Raylan is suicidal. The best way to hurt him. Bring out his father. everytime he goes in to shoot someone , part of him wants him to lose. look at the second to last scene with Boyd. part of him was mad, because Boyd didn't try to shoot him back.
I love how this duel goes. I'm pretty sure this is the only duel Raylan "lost" and it's because Boone was the only opponent to fire from the hip the same way Raylan does. I also love this little details like how boobe's shot has a cloud of smoke while raylan's doesn't being that Boone shoots blackpowder loads from a single-action
@@itsinthetreesitscoming7431Raylan won in that he survived, but technically it was a "draw" as the other guy pointed out because he wasn't quicker than boone
anybody know where to find the song/tune at 0:32? It's boon's usual theme song when he shows up in every episode and i was just curious if anybody knew what it was called.
Boon had the advantage of being the one to initiate the draw also. Raylan only pulled in response. So Raylan was smarter with shot placement and a faster draw, being that action is always quicker than reaction.
I remember reading about the greatest duel of feudal Japan's most revered samurai, Miyamoto Musashi. During the final battle with his nemesis, Sasakai Kojiro, Musashi's headband was cut off, as he struck down his opponent with a lethal blow. It is widely believed that Kojiro died, believing himself to be the victor. Since western and samurai tales often borrow elements from each other, I can't help but wonder if the creators of Justified were inspired by Musashi's greatest duel.
It's definitely possible. However a lot of culture surrounding Samurai and Cowboys are very similar to the point many Japanese people revere cowboys as western samurai actually. And they weirdly have a lot in common such as; Duty, justice, honor, quickdraws, and duels. However whether or not those ideals were lived up to in reality is another question.
@@wezzy9437 Most Westerns draw inspiration from Samurai films and vice versa. They compliment eachother so much therese genuinely a crazy amount of stories retelling themselves in the other genre
Boone went from Jim Carrey to Givens. I love they way they did the character development behind Boyd, Boone is my favorite "villain" on the show! Quarrells is a close third Justified is top tier!
Boon's comment about veterans really rubbed me the wrong way. As a combat veteran, I can assure folks that we do in fact have souls and know what it's like to "live it down." I say this because I have actually encountered men like Boon. They fucked around and found out.
As I remember, Raylan was still on the ground. I will rewatch thanks to you I see it as her telling Boon, who is in charge. That he is on the way out. There might be a little of preventing him to do a double tap. you know to make sure. @@AlanJas-ut6ym
‘Justified’ was an incredible series. And I do understand that they had to exaggerate things for dramatic effect. But I’ve got to wonder. In real life, how many times would a US deputy marshal be involved in a Wild West, quick-draw shootout? I’d guess probably never. But poor ol’ Raylan seems to be involved in one every other week.
Never. In fact the law draws first. No fair fight. No playing around. Just confronting a lawman with a holstered gun gets you immediately drawed on. Blam.
Well most lawmen entering into a potentially dangerous situation would likely already have their sidearms drawn. Raylan tried to play it nice and cool with the unlawful elements of his jurisdiction by keeping his weapon holstered, but this meant he had to be ready to draw quickly if he misjudged the situation. In the end its just a tv show, but the allure of it was a lawman who was very much built of the same streets he now presided over. Far fetched in some sense, but there are some kernels of truth in it. Ive personally known two sheriff's deputies who grew up in the seedier parts of town who used Raylan's hands off approach to keeping those same streets safe as law officers. Their background in those neighborhoods plus their goodwill kept them more safe than their sidearms
Murder life pro tip: if you've already resolved to kill someone who's armed and dangerous, draw and fire on them while they're speaking -- they'll be slightly slower to react. Raylan almost died because he's a (good) LEO that doesn't want to draw first.
@@ComedyBros5 Modern day Clint Eastwood. That is pretty close, yes, but Timothy can't really play a mean character like Clint could. In Deadwood, Timothy also plays one of the 'softer' characters in the story. Like in Hitman, you fear the ability of the character but not the character himself. For Clint, you feared the abilities AND the man himself.
Moral of this scene? Head shots are riskier, smaller target. You might just clip the guy instead of permanently dropping him. Torso shots are comparatively safer (unless the guy is wearing teflon or kevlar).
Just a thought here. But it looks like Boone is carrying a .45 or .38 caliber, which both carry a lower muzzle velocity than a 9MM. I think Boone wins this duel if he goes center mass vs the hubris of a headshot.
It's pretty clear now that Boon was going to lose, in the end however he could've taken down Raylan for good had he done the same as he did; Raylan aimed center mass like he's been trained to do. Boon was overly confident and aimed for the head.
If you play it back at a slower speed, you can clearly see raylan shot first. Boon was close, but even though he had the advantage (the sun not being in his eyes), he was still no match for raylan.
Boon, and really all of Markham’s goons, were all so epic and great, but all such wasted opportunities. I’ll forever say that the Crowe cousins should’ve been off’d early season 5 and then Markham and his guys introduced. THEN, bring in Boon in the S5 finale to have all of S6 to build up and give lots of time to.
@@hellcat1401 Yep. Him and his brothers should’ve lasted maybe 2 episodes. Having him “outsmart” Raylan multiple times was so aggravating and just didn’t fit Daryl’s character.
Yeah, was really hoping to see more of Boon to have a better build up to the climax, he was badass, funny, but also creepy and scary at times, really interesting character that deserved more air time
@@gamblorrr The original Justified series took place mostly in rural Kentucky, specifically the mountain areas of Eastern Kentucky. By "modernization" I think he just means the new series is in Detroit, not small hollers in Kentucky
I slowed the video down and paused it. The mist of blood definitely blows backward from Raylan's head, while the one for Boone comes out his chest and back.
The only thing I believe granted Ava a break was the fact that she should have never been in jail in the first place, sure she made a lot of bad decisions along the way, but the whole reason she got to the whole CI mess and everything that followed was because she was serving time after being setup and unjustly sentenced because of the corrupt prison guard, so it was only fair that such wrong was made right at the end by Raylan
I always thought Boon was such a wannabe haha. The way he pretended not to know who John Wayne is while aping every Evil Cowboy trope from every western movie ever was hilarious to me. Suuuure dude, I totally believe you aren't trying to be Jesse James.
Loretta saved the day.
actually, raylan's aim was the best...
Yes she did.
@@soonersciencenerd383No Doubt.

incase you were wondering if he was acting or really just batsht crazy, that puts that to bed huh?
It took me 5 watches but did anyone else gather the sun in his eyes, one eye on the draw? Brilliant scene
Boon fancied himself a Doc Holliday. In reality, he was Johnny Ringo.
Not a daisy at all
I definitely wouldn't say that, they fired at the same time and he actually hit ralen in the head
he wasn't no daisy...he wasn't no daisy at all!
Ringo never had a chance against doc, boon could have won if he had gone for center mass instead of being fancy.
@wittyjoker4631 in the end the stress was more than he could bare
And in the end both Loretta and Ava show their true colors. At least Ava waited to see he was actually alive before she cut and run, but Loretta made sure he wouldn't be hurt again.

Well, Ava's the fugitive. She's gotta run, if she can. Loretta doesn't have that problem.

The final shoot out is done in the way old western shoot out. Talk about finishing on a high note.
What a great final showdown. Just recently saw the whole series. I am also loving Primeval. More Raylan is what we all need. Thank you FX
Same. As cool as Boon’s hat was, I’m glad the original hat made a comeback.
ugh primeval was awful, it didnt feel like justified to me
Primeval is horrible. Detroit...wtf
Primeval wasn’t as good as the OG Justified! Wish they’d keep going though… especially considering the way it ended
I loved the weird soulless percussion score that Boon gets.
It’s super creepy
Right? It's so good but foreboding at the same time
I have always thought this is the best shot scene in the whole show. That wide shot after they both go down, with the beautiful background… stunning. But I juuuust noticed Raylan’s hat flips from upright to upside down when we go from wide shot to close up. I’m just going to pretend it was the wind offscreen and not continuity error because it really is perfect otherwise.
Very good observation. You are correct. I to will wish that the wind flipped it over. Thanks for your comment. Doctor George Whitehead
I always wanted Raylan to adopt Loretta after she went into the system. She woulda been a good badass protégé.
So sweet that Loretta felt compelled to save Raylan.
I remember this scene. Boon gambled and went for the harder shot and failed. It’s a harder aim plus Raylan wears his has higher so Boon probably wasn’t able to gauge where Raylans dome was. Raylan took the easier shot and went for center mass, easier to aim but may not kill right away but still won in the end.

@@SelectCircleLol yup just the reality is cops are horrible shots so they usually die in a one on one.
Well most lawmen entering into a potentially dangerous situation would likely already have their sidearms drawn. Raylan tried to play it nice and cool with the unlawful elements of his jurisdiction by keeping his weapon holstered, but this meant he had to be ready to draw quickly if he misjudged the situation.
In the end its just a tv show, but the allure of it was a lawman who was very much built of the same streets he now presided over. Far fetched in some sense, but there are some kernels of truth in it. Ive personally known two sheriff's deputies who grew up in the seedier parts of town who used Raylan's hands off approach to keeping those same streets safe as law officers. Their background in those neighborhoods plus their goodwill kept them more safe than their sidearms
Anyone know the name of the music playing 0:33? Can't find it anywhere
This was the Raylan i loved. Not this poor punchline on the reboot. What a debacle.
Murder life pro tip: if you've already resolved to kill someone who's armed and dangerous, draw and fire on them while they're speaking -- they'll be slightly slower to react.
Raylan almost died because he's a (good) LEO that doesn't want to draw first.
Yup. He did just that to the two thugs that were after him in L.A. in the first season but decided to give Boon a sporting chance 🤔
'Come one step closer and I'll shoot you'. 'Come on Marshal, can't we..' Pow.
😂Boone hit the ground first with his knees just before Raylan heeled back over .
This was the first person raylan met who was as good he is. Raylan just happened to come out on top
Tried watching it at 0.25x but these guys were so fast that I could not catch them being shot. Maybe it needs even slower speed like 0.00025x!!
Try pausing the video and use the "," (komma) and "." (period) keys to go backward/forward 1 frame. The fx for the blood is not pretty ...
Nice
In slow motion, Boon was faster on the draw than Raylan.....Boon's aim was just a little off......This was such a great series...
Are you sure? It looked like Boon drew first and Raylon's shot hit first, but just barely. I think Raylon was slightly faster
Epic showdown. Doc Holiday would approve.
Huh, the first episode of City Primeval started with Raylan’s truck getting rear ended by a criminal.
What guns were they using?
Live by the gun die by the gun 🥀🥀🥀
Boone sure did act like he thought he was Doc Holliday!
is boon the poor man's Doc Holiday?
Typical Raylan: Might be oozing blood, but let me make sure my hats okay, 😅👏🏼 As I stated in a previous post, Eastwood + Wayne = Raylan 🤘🏼
Absolutely! Olyphant is our modern Eastwood. I wish he’d take on more western roles. He was my only favorite part in that Star Wars show!
@@ComedyBros5 Agreed, and still in good shape to tackle certain roles
@@MrAndy12878 Exactly. I wouldn’t be mad if he just owned his typecast and took nothing but western/gunslinger roles. He’s the best man for the job.
@ComedyBros5 he even voiced him in Rango
@@ComedyBros5 Modern day Clint Eastwood. That is pretty close, yes, but Timothy can't really play a mean character like Clint could.
In Deadwood, Timothy also plays one of the 'softer' characters in the story. Like in Hitman, you fear the ability of the character but not the character himself.
For Clint, you feared the abilities AND the man himself.
Never leave the keys in the car.
fun fact: if you slow it down to .25 you can see the mist of blood
You can see that on the Blu-ray, since Blu-ray picks up a lot of the little things.
If you watch it frame by frame, you can see that the FX-department didn't do a very good job ....
Boon thought he was doc holiday. He's no daisy.
Yes I too saw the sun,,, rule number 1,,don't,,and yes at first looked like RINGO then changed to Holiday style .."HUCKLEBERRY"
Moral of this scene?
Head shots are riskier, smaller target. You might just clip the guy instead of permanently dropping him. Torso shots are comparatively safer (unless the guy is wearing teflon or kevlar).
And I thought I had small hands!
Boone thinks hes doc holiday lol.
Wonder if Boon died thinking he actually got Raylan?
He had doubt - or Loretta wouldn't have had to step on his hand.
Just a thought here. But it looks like Boone is carrying a .45 or .38 caliber, which both carry a lower muzzle velocity than a 9MM. I think Boone wins this duel if he goes center mass vs the hubris of a headshot.
Were did she come from ??😊
Bruh... you just got shot in the head and saved a little girl. You will be forgiven 😂
Justified
Anyone know the jacket Boon is wearing here? It’s not Barbour or Orvis. It’s killing me, I want it lol
It's pretty clear now that Boon was going to lose, in the end however he could've taken down Raylan for good had he done the same as he did;
Raylan aimed center mass like he's been trained to do.
Boon was overly confident and aimed for the head.
So who was faster?
Raylan is faster but he drew after since he's a Marshall so the shot needs to be "justified"
Boon was faster in the race to the afterlife...
Who got their shot off quicker?
If you play it back at a slower speed, you can clearly see raylan shot first. Boon was close, but even though he had the advantage (the sun not being in his eyes), he was still no match for raylan.
Boon, and really all of Markham’s goons, were all so epic and great, but all such wasted opportunities. I’ll forever say that the Crowe cousins should’ve been off’d early season 5 and then Markham and his guys introduced. THEN, bring in Boon in the S5 finale to have all of S6 to build up and give lots of time to.
Few more years and you can direct your own shows with AI!
Daryl Crowe was one of THE most annoying characters ever.
@@hellcat1401 Yep. Him and his brothers should’ve lasted maybe 2 episodes. Having him “outsmart” Raylan multiple times was so aggravating and just didn’t fit Daryl’s character.
@@hellcat1401 They molded the character to the actor.
Yeah, was really hoping to see more of Boon to have a better build up to the climax, he was badass, funny, but also creepy and scary at times, really interesting character that deserved more air time
Aside from the "modernization" of Justified in City Primeval, biggest disappointment is that Raylan didn't keep Boon's hat.
But he kept his girl - no?
Nah, Boon's hat didn't fit him at all.
Haha I thought that was the only good part.
what do you mean by modernisation?
@@gamblorrr The original Justified series took place mostly in rural Kentucky, specifically the mountain areas of Eastern Kentucky. By "modernization" I think he just means the new series is in Detroit, not small hollers in Kentucky
My only disappointment in this scene is Boon dies thinking he killed Raylan.
Was there a mistake with the sfx here? It looks like blood comes out Raylan's torso when he gets shot.
That’s what I thought too
I slowed the video down and paused it. The mist of blood definitely blows backward from Raylan's head, while the one for Boone comes out his chest and back.
@@danieldickson8591 thank you for your awesome work..
Lmao I love overly dramatic cowboy scenes but this one takes the cake for Hollywood schlop
this scene made me buy a RAM
And at the end he lets her go like an idiot. He should’ve put her in jail where she belongs
Considering he also had a daughter, I don't think he could take a mother away from her son.
The only thing I believe granted Ava a break was the fact that she should have never been in jail in the first place, sure she made a lot of bad decisions along the way, but the whole reason she got to the whole CI mess and everything that followed was because she was serving time after being setup and unjustly sentenced because of the corrupt prison guard, so it was only fair that such wrong was made right at the end by Raylan
Whatever punishment Ava might have deserved, she got full measure in the end.
I always thought Boon was such a wannabe haha. The way he pretended not to know who John Wayne is while aping every Evil Cowboy trope from every western movie ever was hilarious to me. Suuuure dude, I totally believe you aren't trying to be Jesse James.
