After 6 years later... it's still one of the best opening scenes in the 2010s and modern cinema. The thrills, the speed, and the synchronization of the music and the car is everything. It's a nonstop musical that doesn't feel like six minutes of Baby just cruising as if he doesn't need training wheels.
So true lmaoo, little 10 year old car guy me got hooked on the movie because of the STI lol. Without it I wouldn’t be so interested. They definitely chose a great car for the opening scene
I love how the entire time the bank robbers are not freaking out, they're not trying to tell him how to do his job, they just shut up and let him do it.
Nope, you can see them multiple times freaking out, and yelling something towards him. I think the woman and man in front does it the most. But you cant hear anything because of the music. And thats the entire point of the headphones.
2:33 is a great clip. The point, the reverse, and the insane corner tracking shot as he comes around the barricade right into the camera. The camerawork is first rate.
IMO this is possibly the single greatest opening scene and/or music scene in film. there is so much characterization packed into every part of it and the use of the song combined with the structure and editing is incredible.
1:52 I know this may sound weird, but I think this is foreshadowing that baby does not like violence and is looking to see if anyone is needlessly killed. In this case, he sees that they are shooting into the air only, and not using deadly force on the victims for no reason. Later in the film, the one dude used too much unnecessary force on the security guards and pissed baby off
Yeah I think it was intentional, I also like how in the scene where he plays with the toy car and it falls off the table pretty much foreshadows the climax of the fight at the car park towards the end of the movie.
The fact that you’re captivated from the very beginning and hooked til the very end with 0 dialogue is quite a feat to accomplish well done to the stunt coordinator and choreographers for this film.
We don't know anything about the plot or the characters already, and you still hook up, the only time i remember something like this is in Saving Private Ryan, it's like 20 minutes of pure booms and shooting, this movie did it in 6 minutes, so this clip only is a masterpiece.
Рік тому+29
well this was the best scene of the whole movie...
I adore this movie with absolutely every fiber of my BEING. God, it makes every muscle in my face hurt every time I watch it. And this opening scene is the perfect example. First, the Sony pictures logo at the start. In every sony movie, the logo shows up, and it sparkles to the sound of a piano note. In THIS movie, the same happens, but the note doesn't stop. It keeps playing. Why? Well, number one, it represents Baby's tinnitus. The ringing in his ears, perfectly represented by a LOGO. That's something you only notice on repeat watchings. Not to mention it feels like the opening of an orchestra. All the sounds and instruments preparing, revving up, it shows that you're in for a good time. The song choice is PHENOMENAL, since #1 we get four perfect shots introducing everyone. And I get goosebumps every time I watch them leave the car, and open/close the trunk in sync. It's flawless. I love how we see ZERO action from inside the bank. This is Baby's movie. We see him jam out in the car. We see him watch uncomfortably as the robbery is carried out. And as another small detail I like, the first shots are fired right in time with the lines "the police are coming!" In the song. The driving choreography is FANTASTIC. You know you're in for a great scene when IMMEDIATELY, Griff points forward only for Baby to drive in reverse. As he spins the corner and pushes the police spikes 90°, or when he swaps lanes with the other identical cars under the bridge, it's all so engaging, so fun to watch, only gets BETTER on repeated viewings, and tells us everything we need to know before we hear a single line of spoken dialogue. This scene is fantastic. It's not my favorite, the hocus pocus chase scene is #2 and Buddy confronting Baby in the diner is and will always be my favorite, but the opening scene is perfect. Absolutely perfect. It's not my favorite, but to me, the most important part of any movie is the opening scene. And this movie is a perfect example on how to get every aspect of that right. Just one of the many, many, many, many reasons why this is my favorite movie of all time.
6 years later and I still love how the hero car isn't a brand new model. It'd have been so easy for Subaru to say "Yeah, use a 2017 WRX, so we can launch an ad campaign for those and sell more." It makes so much more sense in universe for the hero car to be a Hawk Eye
Shifts from first to third without the engine dropping revs, comes to a near dead stop in third without stalling, with the engine strain steadily increasing, then somehow shifts to fourth and has all the power in the world to rocket off out of the drift.
Car chase movies....i don't care much but this one ? i was expecting nothing about it and ...god damn, what a kick in the ass !! WOW in 20 years, this one will be a cult classic !
I still remember the feeling and the butterflies in my stomach when I first watched this scene, because this street feel reminds me of how fast and furious it was, and every run used to give me that
Nah, don't agree. The fact they're pretending like a bunch of old ass P71 Vics are gonna keep up with an STI? Immersion gone. At the very least they could've used the Hemi Chargers, that would've been maybe a touch more believable. Not by much though.
It is about getaway driver but far from perfect I'd say. Too much luck and coincidences forced by the end so the baby wouldn't die and would be able to cut himself off of the life crime.
Baby driver is my favourite movie, and this is one of the best scenes. We don’t know anything about baby or his crew, and this sets up the whole movie perfectly
my friend showed me baby driver because it's one of his favorite movies, and he prefaced it by saying it has one of the greatest opening scenes he's ever seen. He wasn't wrong.
Ye but if u think about it that can't always be racing and robbing banks because it would end up turning into like money heist with the robbing but also they have to kinda move along with the timeline from nower days cause it would make it more realistic other than always street racing and robbing places cause it isnt that realistic then
@@iamjay3537 That's hilarious because I've been driving subarus for 13 years! Built and swapped an sti motor into a 99 gc8 coupe which is finally coming to an end after 5 years. I've also owned and own 3 subarus. I'd like to think I know a thing or two about them.
The cars are totalled after each heist by the boss. It's why the boss gives Baby driving gloves later on in the movie, to give him extra protection (showing his affection for him).
in reality if you tried to do this in Atlanta you'd either end up sitting in traffic for 2 hours or your tire would pop because of all the god damn pot holes in this city
@@KirbyLinkACW ah ok 😂 i mean ofcourse, the in-universe explanation could be the time they chose to rob it it could be working hours hence less traffic 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ and financial districts and highways typically are well maintained
maybe you guys should vote to have a train system there then. oh right the people of Atlanta keep denying the bill to built one because local news outlets keep lying to you about your taxes going up.
at some point in my early 20s, I came across a magazine that listed the top 50 or 100 uses of songs in movies. as someone who loved both, this became probably my biggest obsession - imagining a film scene that was elevated from the use of a specific song. about 10 years later, during the middle of which I did my masters in filmmaking but had come nowhere near working on a film, i went to the cinema to watch this film with some colleagues. while i got in my seat first, i was waiting for them to come in as they were straggling behind with their popcorn and drinks. i was distracted when the scene began, but about a minute in, i became aware of just how precisely the edit was going with the song, and i suddenly forgot about the people i was with and became truly transfixed. the scene, and its perfect, miraculous synchronisation with the song, kept becoming more and more exhilarating. when it ended, i found myself wanting to jump in my chair with excitement. it was a great reminder that cinema can be such an intensely immersive experience. one of my favourite memories of all time.
@TrueKen It's a cool scene, and definitely an inspiration for this one. But I wouldn't go as far as saying that it makes this scene lose its originality, it's not that similar.
The columns passing the camera on beat is my favourite part of this whole scene and you're the first person I've seen who's noticed it. It's a brilliant touch
As someone who has owned some half a dozen Subarus, it's really cool to hear them using the actual boxer rumble and turbo noises. They make it very known that they are driving a WRX, not just some ambiguous import. Really cool to see.
I remember being 14 and seeing this at the movies for the first time and walking out of that theater thinking this is the best thing I’ve seen in a while.
I know that I can practice social distancing with one million pounds in my backpack and with a shotgun in my hands. If police catches me I'll tell them that with the shotgun I verify if they are at a socially acceptable distance. If they are to close they'll be shot by me because they came in my safe zone...... but also the firing range of my gun.
The use of everyday cars instead of supercars, the stunts, the camera work, the use of music...it threw me back to the Luc Bésson Taxi series, especially the first two. Even the fact that I thought that the cast was insanely overkill for just a car action film, but it's not really a car movie. Again, Luc Bésson. I was not expecting to see another great oddity like Taxi ever again, but this movie certainly delivered and I'm very glad for it.
I just love how the music in the movie is more than something heard in the background but a motif in the story to represent how music affects Baby's life. When the cinematography is in sync with the soundtrack, things are going well for him. When it's not, he's in some kind of trouble and struggles to get it back in sync in some way.
This movie feels like the perfect example of when movies use licensed music. Sure, other times it's obnoxious (mostly cuz it's just songs that are popular at the time), but the way they use music in this movie is SO WELL DONE. So many different things accommodating the music: The timing, what's happening in the scene fitting the lyrics, the STORY itself-it's so fucking COOL!
You might appreciate the OST from the game Cyberpunk 2077. They hired dozens of musicians to make songs for the game world that play on in-game radio stations. They had a punk band, Refused, create an album for the game as a fictional band, Samurai, which is comprised of in game characters. Each main character in the game, and as well certain story arcs for the main character all have their own "theme song" which variations and remixes of play throughout as their stories advance. People shit on this game a lot, but it did something incredible with its OST that has never been done before.
@@pizzasaurolophus also a very nice little detailed thing they added in CP is that wheneve someone plays guitar, their fingers match the music perfectly. They motion captured musicians playing the songs.
You're spot on! This is part and parcel for Edgar Wright's films. See also: Hot Fuzz, Scott Pilgrim, The World's End, and of course Shaun of the Dead. They're incredibly rewarding to watch if you pay attention to the music!
This is a great example of taking such a simple storyline (getaway driver who works with criminals) and making it so unique in its own way (the finale fricking ending up with Baby being chased by half the U.S.'s police force)
DarylPlayz just cuz he cant direct a film doesnt mean he shouldnt judge one. its like saying you shouldnt complain about rotten food served in a restaurant if you cant cook.
yeah, the scenes where coordinated perfectly with the music. as someone who has worked as an editor, "sloppy" is not the word you can use to define this
Not him but I can understand where he's coming from. I have no problems about how this scene is directed, it's just that some shots really are missing like the car is teleporting from place to place. They probably cut them to fit the music's duration.
Knowing how they made this scene, they were editing it shot by shot on the filming truck, every shot was done second by second. There's no filler shots or B reel, every shot lines up with the next
You're actually right, which when you think about it, is so astronomically weird. If we just count theatre showings, this video has 71M views, but the movie only made $226M in box office. Even if we assume the hilariously low average ticket price at $3.25 this UA-cam video was still viewed more times.
The film is full of details like that. Almost every gunshot in the entire film is done in time to the background music. Also check out the Queen scene from Shaun of the Dead. Suffice to say Ed loves this particular trope. So do I, honestly.
EV..ER...Y..THING is synced to the music. It's such an underlooked thing that makes this movie great. The acting is good, and the plot was good but the audio...masterpiece!
this six minute opening clip from the movie Baby Driver is brought to you by the 2006 Subaru WRX. The perfect car when you try to rob a bank or to boost your ego in high school.

Well, number one, it represents Baby's tinnitus. The ringing in his ears, perfectly represented by a LOGO. That's something you only notice on repeat watchings.
Not to mention it feels like the opening of an orchestra. All the sounds and instruments preparing, revving up, it shows that you're in for a good time.
The song choice is PHENOMENAL, since #1 we get four perfect shots introducing everyone. And I get goosebumps every time I watch them leave the car, and open/close the trunk in sync. It's flawless.

correction: the line "the police are coming" is actually saying "the blues explosion" because the song is made by Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
6 years later and I still love how the hero car isn't a brand new model. It'd have been so easy for Subaru to say "Yeah, use a 2017 WRX, so we can launch an ad campaign for those and sell more." It makes so much more sense in universe for the hero car to be a Hawk Eye

it could be working hours hence less traffic 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
and financial districts and highways typically are well maintained
lmao!! Yeah you'd get a more intense chase with pedal bicycles
maybe you guys should vote to have a train system there then. oh right the people of Atlanta keep denying the bill to built one because local news outlets keep lying to you about your taxes going up.
I always loved a good ol'Subaru impreza, but damm this movie is one hell of an add for this car
at some point in my early 20s, I came across a magazine that listed the top 50 or 100 uses of songs in movies. as someone who loved both, this became probably my biggest obsession - imagining a film scene that was elevated from the use of a specific song. about 10 years later, during the middle of which I did my masters in filmmaking but had come nowhere near working on a film, i went to the cinema to watch this film with some colleagues. while i got in my seat first, i was waiting for them to come in as they were straggling behind with their popcorn and drinks. i was distracted when the scene began, but about a minute in, i became aware of just how precisely the edit was going with the song, and i suddenly forgot about the people i was with and became truly transfixed. the scene, and its perfect, miraculous synchronisation with the song, kept becoming more and more exhilarating. when it ended, i found myself wanting to jump in my chair with excitement. it was a great reminder that cinema can be such an intensely immersive experience. one of my favourite memories of all time.
Kevin Spacey: that's my baby
*that didn't age well*
When you find out he actually does entrap young boys...
He was blinded by the balls on that kid
I dont get it ?
@@TR-ru7wl thanks i didn't know
@@repopig1433 by the stuff you've been doing lately Kevin I don't doubt it
This film should be considered a modern day classic. So original
For sure
@TrueKen It's a cool scene, and definitely an inspiration for this one. But I wouldn't go as far as saying that it makes this scene lose its originality, it's not that similar.
@TrueKen wadiyatalkinabeet?
The movie just goes downhill after the opening scene.
Pile of pretentious crap
one of my favorite movie scenes of all time
This has to be the longest Subaru commercial I’ve ever sat through
05:12 even the columns are in sync with the music. Edgar Wright is the master of integrating music and film
AND the open door dong at the end is also in sync.
Oh my God you're right
The columns passing the camera on beat is my favourite part of this whole scene and you're the first person I've seen who's noticed it. It's a brilliant touch
Bruh this movie is underrated af.
edgar wright is a god, the stuff he has done with baby driver and the conetta trilogy is perfect
As someone who has owned some half a dozen Subarus, it's really cool to hear them using the actual boxer rumble and turbo noises. They make it very known that they are driving a WRX, not just some ambiguous import. Really cool to see.
And they left it AWD, you can see the front tires smoking, they didn't convert it to RWD like the Skylines in F&F
You must be rich
@@OhioBahn440 I think they did have one converted to RWD.
it's Edgar Wright. He's OBSESSED with audio.
@@OhioBahn440 even though a RWD skyline sounds like a awesome prospect all that power to the rear
I remember being 14 and seeing this at the movies for the first time and walking out of that theater thinking this is the best thing I’ve seen in a while.
And this is why Subaru has the rating it has now with the sport cars 😂💯
The robbers put on their masks when they enter a populated building because they’re responsible citizens.
Such saints!
According to covid19
I know that I can practice social distancing with one million pounds in my backpack and with a shotgun in my hands. If police catches me I'll tell them that with the shotgun I verify if they are at a socially acceptable distance. If they are to close they'll be shot by me because they came in my safe zone...... but also the firing range of my gun.
So weird how it looked normal for them to do that 😂
i got confused untill i saw it was 6days ago
You're pretty good, kid. Ever think about dropping this gig and delivering tofu instead?
Initial D reference?
@@xwhateverthisisx Aye, sir.
Why did i read that in Stan Lee's voice
Bro you're here too?
I see an Initial D reference, i press like
The use of everyday cars instead of supercars, the stunts, the camera work, the use of music...it threw me back to the Luc Bésson Taxi series, especially the first two. Even the fact that I thought that the cast was insanely overkill for just a car action film, but it's not really a car movie. Again, Luc Bésson.
I was not expecting to see another great oddity like Taxi ever again, but this movie certainly delivered and I'm very glad for it.
Thoughts while watching this in theatres:
Is this a musical?
Hey wasn't that the punisher?
Is he slow?
*hes not slow*
stealing my pfp fuck you
maybe it's not musical but music in this movie is fucking genius, it's fantastic character!
Yee McGee have you watched a musical before its like a disney cartoon with the characters singing the characters are not singing
This was the least gay musical I've ever heccin seen
Wat is name
I felt like i was watching an highly advanced GTA car chase
Junior Bueno ikr
You can watch the gta version on DomesticMango channel
90sbabi yes BOI that vid was sick
so good
the transitions from one star to five star and then the cheat code like nothing happened.
I love how every sound has a rhythm following the beat of the music.
I think everyone can agree even if they didn’t like the entire movie that this is one of the greatest opening scenes ever
I just love how the music in the movie is more than something heard in the background but a motif in the story to represent how music affects Baby's life. When the cinematography is in sync with the soundtrack, things are going well for him. When it's not, he's in some kind of trouble and struggles to get it back in sync in some way.
Good point. If he was listening to Eurobeat tho, he would be unable to drive in a straight line and/or would drift non-stop.
The music is in sync with gunshots in the foot chase scene though. Shouldn't that be a scene where the music isn't in sync
SH HS
The movie is a pseudomusical
SH HS He got away, though
It's not because it's going well when the music is in sync, it just means he knows what to do.
This movie is so good, I recommend it to anyone that likes music and/or action scenes and/or good acting and/or fantaszic movies.
Levi Sacher Plus, Kevin fuckin' Spacey
Honestly, I pirated the movie at first and then I was so amazed that I had to watch it in the cinema another three times
Or cars
I'd say torrent it, but it's not available anywhere in better than handicam quality.
Wait and then fucking stream/torrent it.
Or move to a fucking better country!........Hope that helped!
Just like Michael Bay said, you have to get the audience's attention in first 5 minutes of the film. Well, there you go.
Your Honor, he was listening to free bird
This movie feels like the perfect example of when movies use licensed music.
Sure, other times it's obnoxious (mostly cuz it's just songs that are popular at the time), but the way they use music in this movie is SO WELL DONE. So many different things accommodating the music: The timing, what's happening in the scene fitting the lyrics, the STORY itself-it's so fucking COOL!
yes you are correct
You might appreciate the OST from the game Cyberpunk 2077. They hired dozens of musicians to make songs for the game world that play on in-game radio stations. They had a punk band, Refused, create an album for the game as a fictional band, Samurai, which is comprised of in game characters. Each main character in the game, and as well certain story arcs for the main character all have their own "theme song" which variations and remixes of play throughout as their stories advance.
People shit on this game a lot, but it did something incredible with its OST that has never been done before.
@@pizzasaurolophus also a very nice little detailed thing they added in CP is that wheneve someone plays guitar, their fingers match the music perfectly. They motion captured musicians playing the songs.
i would put GOTG up there too
You're spot on! This is part and parcel for Edgar Wright's films. See also: Hot Fuzz, Scott Pilgrim, The World's End, and of course Shaun of the Dead. They're incredibly rewarding to watch if you pay attention to the music!
"I bought the whole speedometer so I'm going to use the whole speedometer."
80mph is not a full speedometer
More like the Rev gauge
Paria Qamia Barato
EXACTLY!
I remember that meme
Love that screaming J-turn. 😍
This movie’s intro got me HOOKED, and it was at a time where I only ever enjoyed animations and not live action stuff. Edgar is a genius.
This is how we think we look jamming out to music

VOCÊS NÃO SABEM O QUE ESTÃO FALANDO
The reverse to AWD drift is the smoothest car move in all of cinematography
Apparently the car was RWD converted. I didn’t think it was until i read an article about it.
Can you please elaborate on what you're talking about.
V.M DAS elaborate on the car being RWD???
@@shanegrant2144 About the comment on cinematography. Which shot was he referring to.
@@vishalzparadize 2:34, I assume....when he first leaves the bank....J-turn into a 90 degree left...all in one fluid motion. It is quite beautiful.
When a guy in shades rocks out with his car harder than you at a concert, you know it's gonna be a wild ride!
This is a great example of taking such a simple storyline (getaway driver who works with criminals) and making it so unique in its own way (the finale fricking ending up with Baby being chased by half the U.S.'s police force)
Take notes, Taken 3. This is how you direct a car chase.
*this is how you use cameras
DarylPlayz just cuz he cant direct a film doesnt mean he shouldnt judge one. its like saying you shouldnt complain about rotten food served in a restaurant if you cant cook.
yeah, the scenes where coordinated perfectly with the music. as someone who has worked as an editor, "sloppy" is not the word you can use to define this
Not him but I can understand where he's coming from. I have no problems about how this scene is directed, it's just that some shots really are missing like the car is teleporting from place to place. They probably cut them to fit the music's duration.
It's all CGI these days, you just don't know it.
0:48 I'm glad theyre putting their face masks on. Safety first.
Ohh mann😂

My Bruh you are shaprer than a knife 🤣🤣

Why
@@user-kl7tg3fu4d because I love that movie
@@guilhermegabrielmelodafons8710 ok
I would want to watch that movie too but I’m 11 year old
Knowing how they made this scene, they were editing it shot by shot on the filming truck, every shot was done second by second. There's no filler shots or B reel, every shot lines up with the next
This scene has been watched more times than the entire actual movie...
same here 😄
yeah but that's not including illegal downloads or pirate websites
@@macsen4648 😅
You're actually right, which when you think about it, is so astronomically weird. If we just count theatre showings, this video has 71M views, but the movie only made $226M in box office. Even if we assume the hilariously low average ticket price at $3.25 this UA-cam video was still viewed more times.
Well, it’s the most interesting scene of the whole movie
What I learned from this clip:
Everyone here apparently hates fast and furious.
Mite nii
I used to think it was popular and liked by people :0
They just jump the shark way to much
Til
Except the first edition and Tokyo drift
This film won the Oscar for editing and well deserved
No it didn't--it was robbed of it by Dunkirk.
@@shadowfoam3491Sorry you're right. It was nominated and for some reason I thought it won.
Still fire 🔥 after all these years. Baby rocking that Apple iPod? Haha
Damn i love the fact that the pillars whooshing by is in sync with the music at 3:04
The horns in the traffic scene match too.
It's the musical details like these that are so fantastic, no one may have noticed these, but it was added in awyway
Lots of things in the movie sync with the music the gun shots, the windscreen wipers etc.
The film is full of details like that. Almost every gunshot in the entire film is done in time to the background music.
Also check out the Queen scene from Shaun of the Dead. Suffice to say Ed loves this particular trope.
So do I, honestly.
EV..ER...Y..THING is synced to the music. It's such an underlooked thing that makes this movie great. The acting is good, and the plot was good but the audio...masterpiece!
this six minute opening clip from the movie Baby Driver is brought to you by the 2006 Subaru WRX. The perfect car when you try to rob a bank or to boost your ego in high school.
