9:10 I know a lot of people hate this moment or find it silly, but in those brief seconds where Columbo bows in the spotlight and is wearing the Ringleader costume, I gasped and said to myself aloud, “Wow, that’s interesting!” Because it is! When have we ever seen something like this in Columbo before? Something that’s not quite reality, but instead ambitiously portrays the fragmented mind of a murderer who’s out of touch with reality. There are hints throughout the episode that Brady is mentally unstable, so in this moment, he’s probably hallucinating Columbo as some terrifying, all-knowing puppet-master, and for me, it was very effective. I honestly admire the team behind the new series for trying different things like this.
Very interesting observation. It plays in nicely with the mythical nature of columbo.
@@tbone2416 This, absolutely. It cements Columbo as something greater, some kind of spirit of justice.
It’s fun. It’s a play on Columbo being “The greatest showman”
I think this is the only time Columbo utterly humiliated the murderer in such a ostentatious way.
I do like the line “The only thing that’s given me any pleasure in this case.” From their very first meeting, Fisher tries to wow him with all the pleasures and power afforded by his position - a water bed, a crane lift, an offer to be the inspiration for a movie, the power of light and shadow. And at the end of the chase, the only pleasure Columbo found _was_ the end of the chase.
My favorite part of this is when Columbo reveals he knew Brady's actors were trying to fool him. Because it didn't take any kind of cleverness at all. Just a single degree of follow up. All he did was go to the studio manager and say "I'm looking for two extras, a bridesmaid and a nurse. Can you tell me which sets they're filming on?" For all Brady's cleverness, he was LAZY.
The film alone was enough to arrest him for at least man slaughter of Len's sister Jenny.
Right? Plus leaving the scene. Depraved indifference.
"I must confess, I'm a corner turner. Is there a penalty for that?"
"I'll need you to surrender your hands, sir..."
😂😂😂😂😂
I mostly watched 70's Columbo , but tonight I'll be watching this episode.
FACT it would take you 86 hours and 51 mins to watch ALL of Columbo
Worth it :)
That catch phrase "Just one more thing..." would be going round and round your head.
Done, 4th time in the past 20 years 😅
challenge accepted :D
Rewatched them last year.
Despite the dismissive sneers cops give to shows like this, I'll bet the farm that there isn’t one among them who wouldn't love to break just one case in such a fashion.😂
One of the biggest middle fingers Columbo has given to a murderer
I guess you could say the murderer short circuited.
It's my pleasure to watch all the episodes of columbo
I love me some Fisher Stevens! I absolutely love his villain in this episode of Columbo... some say part of its character was inspired in Steven Spielberg, who coincidentally directed the first episode of Columbo (not counting the pilots).
Everytime I see Fisher Stevens I hear him say *Ooooooh Newton Crosby" [Indian Accent]
Never underestimate Colombo, he only plays the incompetent goofball just to catch the killers out when they least expect it, getting them to incriminate themselves by confessing to the murder they committed.
The killers realised too late that Colombo was not the fool they thought he was.
Normal police officers: Sir, you are under arrest for the murder of ___________.
Columbo: Sir, allow me to systematically tear your defense apart in the most humiliating fashion possible. Also, you are under arrest for the murder of _____________.
He solved the case he can do whatever he wants
Fisher Stevens played the most unlikable villain on Columbo. Excellent job.
Nowhere near. See some of the 1970s episodes. Dr Mayfield for example
Yes 😂😂😂😂
Milo Janus
Every time I watch this episode I’m more and more convinced that Mr. Wagner lives up there :)
Columbo is alive and well on youtube
I just wish UA-cam would show entire episodes like before.
@@mkassis713 I see entire episodes on tubi and it's free.
Another excellent finale with the lieutenant getting his man in his own intuitive way 👏
This has always been one of my favorite Columbos because I have had the biggest crush on Molly Hagen who played Ruth Jernigan.
She also played Victoria Chase in Butterfly in Shades of Grey with William Shatner.
@@Richard_Straker yes, beautiful and very talented lady 💖
She is beautiful
Fisher Stevens is basically playing a Steven Spielberg type character, right? Didn't he direct the very first Columbo? I wonder what he thought of this portrayal.
That chick who took off the wig though 👀
Quite a striking lady
Great gotcha moment!!!! 👍👍🙂
Woman takes off wig to reveal the same hair.
I wonder who the actress was.
Very nice 'mise en scene' from our preferred inspector ❤
The most times the word "Lieutenant" is used. Turn it into a drinking game, I'd be dead.
Number Jonny 5 is bleeding to death!!
Felt like they tried to get a bit too surreal with this finale.
7:30 Got Em 😂😂😂😂😂
I choose to believe the ringleader is Columbo's true form and the guy saw beyond the veil for a moment.
Overall I liked this episode but the actual murder was stupid and preposterous
Agreed. He would have to be a mind reader to know he would grab the gate. Rather than knock him out cold.
I agree, one of my least favorite killers but I still enjoyed the episode.
*tips the hat* That's showbiz!
This guy played the indian man in Short Circuit. What an actor. Looks just like a childhood friend who killed himself. His skills are appreciated.
I was just going to say that! He was also in an episode of Frasier.
Fisher Stevens.
@@SciTrekMan I thought he was a real Indian man from India. Blew my mind. Great actor's are deceivers
@@Richard_Straker looked just like my bro Joshua Bond. He was an ace sniper who from what I heard from his brother had one to many kills...
@@evanflowforever6615 That’s so funny, because when I first saw Short Circuit, that’s just what I thought, too!
Columbo got cha.
Season 8 : Episode 2
heh that's the bad guy from "hackers".
Fisher Stevens to me, is a highly underrated actor. He should have been a bigger star.
He's best known for the Short Circuit movies. But he was an amazing bad guy in Hackers. And did a great job here.
he did a solid job directing Stand Up Guys
Agree.
He was also in Early Edition, the TV series about a guy getting a newspaper from the future
@@Locomamonk i remember that show
What role did he play in short circuit?
This is Season 8 not Season 1
Question has Columbo's wife ever been seen?
No, he just talks about her.
No,but there was a spin-off tv show called Mrs. Colombo, where his wife was played by none other than Kate Mulgrew.
@@crashyburnymit4080 That only last one season, then they changed the series title to “Kate Loves a Mystery” and removed any and all references to Columbo. Now there’s a mystery!!
So great EPISODE
sad to watch. Making a total mockery of Columbo's character. The 70s Columbos were so much better. Back then, even though most of his cases would never lead to convictions- they were great episodes and Peter Falk WAS Columbo. These later episodes, is just Falk trying to act like Columbo-- too bad.
Do you notice that in all episodes (I'm pretty sure all) the villain is someone wealthy or has political or corporate power and they all sneer at the Columbo until the end.
Yes, people (not just you) are smart enough to recognize a formula when they see one.
One of the weaknesses of the continuation Columbo episodes was the lack of star power.
Can you upload full episods for each case please.
Marvin Gerard was a producer in another world.
Lenny fisher
Love Columbo, but that doesn't mean I'll ever watch NBC.
he'd never catch me smoking weed!!
Awful ending. Typical of the poor ‘New’ Columbos
Again?!😢
