Both you guys crack me up!
I swear watching these films with you is like sitting with a couple old friends.
We seem similar in age or I may have a few years on you both but it’s the same sense of humor.
I also enjoy when you both immediately recognize an older song like “Midnight Train to Georgia” or The Jerry Springer Show from “The Green Mile”
So many Reactors miss a lot by not understanding a reference because of being too young.
Anyway here’s a small donation for your “What to get rich and famous “ fund.
It won’t get you either but at least a cup of coffee.
Rumor has it that “Shawshank” is in the works…
Can’t wait!
Keep them coming, your both great guys!
I’ve been saying this for a while now
Yes!
Thank you for the kind words and also for the $10 dolla holla!! - Mikey
Yes! This channel is so fantastic!! They are so enlightening & entertaining. The compassion they have is so heartwarming!
@@mikeyshowpresentsguys you still haven’t done the equalizer 2 or 3 they been out a while your way behind CAN YOU DO EQUALIZER 2&3
He was NEVER about vengeance, he was about justice. Huge moral difference.
Great point
NOW THIS IS HOW MOVIE REACTIONS SHOULD BE, great sound design and letting the film breath without making yourselves part of it. My God that was great experience gentlemen.
Very generous of you. Many thanks! 🙏
Could not agree more, so Happy I found y'alls channel❤❤❤
"He didn't come for help. He came for permission."
Great reaction, guys.
Love that line 👍🏼
@@mikeyshowpresents you skipped the part where he teach those cops a lesson
Underrated channel we just need more reactions ❤💪
Coming up!
Agreed it would get bigger pretty quickly with more reactions.
Yes! I found this channel a few days ago & have binged their reactions! I wish there were a ton more bc they are so awesome!
Based on an incredible TV series in the 80s. With the late Edward Woodward as Robert McCall. The opening montage gave you the feel of the show. When the sun sets the big city becomes terrifying when the innocents are stalked and terrorized by evil. But lurking in the shadows was The Equalizer, an avenging Guardian Angel. The Equalizer made you feel safe. Denzel and Edward Woodward made you feel safe. The tag line in the series, “odds against you? Call The Equalizer.” The big guy with the fancy moustache who gave Denzel a hard fight is actor Tait Fletcher. He has the distinct honor of also being killed by Baba Yaga. John Wick pulled him by his beard, slammed his head on a table, jammed his gun into his ear and fired! Go to the next level. Check NOBODY!
Funny how small the world really is. The 80's show they tried to hire denzel for the show as well. He wanted to do it, but turned it down as he was in hospital tv show, st elsewhere. So he did the movies and the only movies he did a sequel to is this.
Now,this is great reaction I ever saw,hoping if you do sequel Equalizer 2 and then Equalizer 3 😁👍🏻
Great reaction guys! All 3 Equalizers are great, I think the 3rd one is the best! Have yall reacted to Man on Fire with Denzel, man on fire and the 3rd Equalizer has a connection!
It's on the list!
What connection?
Such a great reaction!! 😊Man on Fire is a great movie….a little hard to watch. But great Denzel movie.🍿 Also, THE BOOK OF ELI (Denzel, as well) is a post-apocalyptic movie….AWESOME! One of his best works, IMO. DeJavu, Out of Time, sooo many more! ❤ 😊
We're adding em to the list!
Man on Fire is my favorite Denzel movie.
I second The Book of Eli, as its one of Denzels best.
Absolutely LOVED your reaction to this movie. You guys are hilarious! 😁
Thank you!! 😁
Loved your reaction. Now you absolutely have to see Nobody. 🚌
"There's a character that Denzel Washington plays well..." anyone he's cast in. From Malcolm X to Antwone Fisher, American Gangster, The Great Debaters, Training Day. Very different characters. Awesome performances. I'm enjoying your channel.
5:47 The look Denzel give him as he drives off says "This is the last face you will ever lay eyes on."
I've watched this movie over 100 times. I eventually picked up that his take on Moby Dick was foreshadowing for his character. He had tried to leave the world of killing, but you "Gotta be who you are in this world, right? No matter what." Robert is a killer and through the movie arc he had to accept who he is and use it as a tool.
"Bob" explains Moby Dick to Teri (Alina):
Teri: He ever catch it?
Bob: Hm?
Teri: The fish.
Bob: Oh, yeah. Yes. Yeah, he did.
Teri: It's a happy ending.
Bob: Well, not exactly. Old man tied the fish to the side of the boat. Had to row back to shore. Fish bled in the water. Sharks came and ate the whole fish till there was nothing left.
Teri: That's just kind of a waste, isn't it?
Bob: Depends upon how you look at it. The old man met his adversary when he thought that part of his life was over. He saw himself in the fish. Came to...Came to respect it the more it fought.
Teri: Why didn't he just let the fish go?
While your comment is very appropriate, the book wasn't Moby Dick (and I feel a little pedantic pointing this out) it was The Old Man and The Sea.
Great reaction to a great movie.
The original 'Equalizer' was a 1980s TV series, set mainly in New York and starring British actor Edward Woodward. He looked like a senior bank manager, but could switch on the scary extremely well. The premise was that of a former superspy now using his talents to help people in trouble. His approach was the same as here - he'd start by offering the Bad Guys a choice between backing off (sometimes even with some kind of deal) or not. When the Bad Guys inevitably rejected this, he would then set about taking them down HARD, along with any group or organization they were part of.
That was a guy who, in his old job, probably took down entire *governments* . Denzel's portrayal is different, but has that same flavor.
There is a direct callback to the original TV series in the last scene of this movie. "Odds Against You? Need Help?" was the title of the regular newspaper ad the 1980s Equalizer ran, from where he got most of his "clients".
Often overlooked… Robert doesn’t go armed ever. He uses his hands, surroundings and what he takes off people.
Ooooh yeah nice! Good catch!
Not sure if you seen "Nobody" with Bob Odenkirk but I am going to leave this here. Enjoy!!
Got it! Thanks 🙏🏼
@@mikeyshowpresents do it! i love that movie!
Nobody is another level 😎
I did suggest The Equalizer! Awesome reaction, I was yelling "Yeeeahhh" lol Don't want the kisses BTW ha... Now, third time suggesting "Battle: Los Angeles" (with Aaron Eckhart); Sci-Fi, little action and a little something else... Also, there's a weird romance/action movie you might like: "Charly Countryman"... YOU'RE GONNA WATCH THEM, or "a bat" might slip from the top floor while you're going for Taco Bell, okay!? 😂😂😂😂😂😂 greetings from a Venezuelan MSP'er living in Ecuador!
Got it on the list 4 U
Great job again guys. Love your content. Can’t wait for your Shawshank Redemption video
42:21 this man LITERALLY tried to fight Ben Affleck's accountant, McCall's Equalizer, and John Wick lol. Of all of them, Wick took him out the quickest at least with the least amount of effort on his part. Damn weird mustache lol.
😂
😂 You guys are HILARIOUS!! So entertaining!!❤❤ Had to subscribe!! Thanks for the reaction!!
Thanks for subbing!
27:42 My favorite line from the movie right there when detective Masters saw what Robert did and was like "Alright! Alright! Alright! Woah! Woah! Woah! You’re so f’in nuts!" lol. Gets me every time 😂.
As always…top reaction, fellas!
Yes! Every time I hear that I crack up! That line is honestly so damn hilarious!
When Mr. Washington is tired of action, he would be a great customer advisor for garden equipment and tools.
All that can be said about the equalizer films is that they are at the top of a quality pyramid.
Greetings from Berlin - Germany You are doing a very good job.
I'm just imagining myself tumbling down the stairs at full speed while fifteen men with metal baseball bats stand at attention every few landings. Each one gets a hit as I tumble down the unnecessarily long staircase.
Hello guys! I absolutely love your reactions: great chemistry between you too, good sense of humor and very well balanced between what you show of the movie and your reactions. It would be great if you could do more of them but I'm happy to wait next month for your new opus.
We're ramping up as we write this! Expect A LOT more this month!
@@mikeyshowpresents Great to hear! Can't wait. I hope you have some sci-fi in the pipeline: it's a joy to see your two minds get blown away 😉
Alien & Aliens would be amazing to see you react to as well!! I’m not sure if you’d have seen them before though.
''Ya know, I used to hate places like this, now I love 'em...'' That's that ''Old Man Gene'' kickin' in! Lol!
Facts!
The equalizer is a former marine and a DIA operator
the "rich man's Kevin Spacey" is Marton Csokas and hes Hungarian. I first got to know him on the show Xena and then in the movie XXX with Vin Diesel. Hes an amazing character/working actor.
Love your reactions. I love that u say it's smart along with brutal. Please watch all three. That is why i I love them all.❤
“Nobody” “Law Abiding Citizen” or any of the “Taken” movies!!!!🙏
A really interesting and big difference between Bob and John baba-yaga: you really saw Bob chew over the decision to get involved in a violent way since he had gotten out, whereas John had nothing left to lose that he cared about and just blew up instantly like an M80, not even a second thought
Lol!!! Great reaction! Wick and McCall are two COMPLETELY different characters. I'd like to be able to pick either of them for a bar fight though. Lol!! Wick is an assassin's assassin. McCall is or was a government hitman/spy. His background is: DIA or Defense Intelligence Agency Spy, Hitman/Assassin, and Black Ops Operative (formerly). United States Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant (formerly).
Skills: Military training, high intelligence, expert marksman, expert martial artist, high pain tolerance, expertise in weaponry, master tactician, knife mastery, explosive mastery, multilingualism. In other words, a MAJOR problem. Lol!!!
😂 Facts!
Not to mention he has a high level of compassion as well. He has medical field knowledge as well (using the honey), etc.
@@mistyxmarlboro Yep. They are both extraordinary characters that I wouldn't want to piss off. Lol!!!
He took out every guy in the store without a single bullet.
McCall used his surroundings and the objects around him to his advantage. The phrase, “I’m not trapped in a room with you, you’re trapped in the room with me,” always applies to people who are underestimated by cocky, arrogant individuals.
Now The Equalizer 2 😁
Mikey I was watching the equalizer for like the 100th time,lol but what impressed me the most is how you and your buddy Sean, how you guys banter between each other it's freaking amazing I can only imagine how you guys are when you're outside,but I really appreciate the food reference you guys made about the restaurant scene Sean was first when he said I bet they make great crab cakes 😂😂😂 I almost fell off my bed, and then you made another food reference with another restaurant scene and again I almost fell off the bed, because I reference food also ..nice to see you guys reaction thanks....👊🏽
Not only a great movie and reaction, but also a great visual identity of the channel and awesome transitions with the screens and the golden lines.
I've been watching Equalizer reactions for a long time now and you guys have given one of the best reactions to this movie and you guys uploaded a month ago. That says a lot. Love the commentary and attention to detail. Can't wait till you guys finish the trilogy!
Guys, he IS OCD. You will see more in the sequels but he is OCD.
When Denzel pleys characters with some mental health issue, they never announce it or even speak on it for some reason. They just expect you to know. Its definitely a decision. In Roman J Israel he is autistic but they never mention it. There are a few others but i can't say because it would be considered a serious spoiler
My absolute favorite part of your reactions - when McCall "scans" the room that first time:
The gun - "Ehhhh, I could be really worried about that."
The corkscrews, immediately afterwards - "OH NO. Oh , no!...."
:)
Book of Eli for another "spiritual" DW journey, supported by Mila Kunis and Gary Oldman.
Great reaction as usual, love your soulful intelligent quips, wit and happy energy.
Greetings from farm in South Africa, brandy & blueberry pipe for tonight's watch.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥃🇿🇦
So excited to see this go up. Beautiful man, beautiful avenger.
You guys deserve 10 times the subs you currently have, always look forward to your videos. I just watched Oppenheimer (very late to the game because it only just got release in my country) and I can't wait for you reaction to it (unless you've already watched it, of course). Either way, keep up the great work and thank you for giving us worthwhile content on UA-cam!
Agreed!
Sean:"I wanna have his kids" 😂😂😂
That was def unexpected but totally understandable.
Watching you guys enjoy this movie like you did was awesome.
John Wick n Robert McCall are the best characyers out there, oh and add to that Jack Reacher, the one from the movies, played by Tom Cruise, those 3 should be besties n every city needs them. The good thing is that there are 3 Equalizer movies, 4 john wick and 2 Jack Reacher movies oh and can't forget 'Nobody' which is from the same universe as John Wick, also a must.
The guy with the mustache often plays the evil henchmen in movies, he often has no dialogue. He was in "The Accountant" in the farmhouse scene. (Tait Fletcher)
Love finding out who these gents are. You just can't make a movie without them! I'll be keeping an eye out for Tait!
He was in three movies, Equalizer, John Wick and The Accountant. Dennis Keiffer was also on those.
Death by Home Depot. Love Denzel. Series is great. 😍 Good reaction guys!
Thank you!
It's fun to watch you guys watch movies. You two are fun guys to laugh at.😂😂There are two more parts. Have fun watching.😊😊
You're too kind
Its such a great movie!! Equalizer 2 and 3 are great too!
Nit picking, it's not a Home Depot but I would say the next time you are in one you will be looking at tree pruners, barbed wire, drills, sledges, Hilti guns, etc. with a whole new appreciation for the endless uses of all those items😂😂😊
Oh yeah
Loved your reaction ❤😂
Hope you watch them all!
We will!
@mikeyshowpresents Yay! I love John Wick, and deffo would welcome a crossover (many want it!) But Bob is just so damn wholesome and honorable! Such a great character!
I love your reactions! Please watch "The Accountant" and "Nobody" next! 🤩👍
Added!
Also he rides the bus probably because he is technically dead!!! Remember at some point anything can be traced back to you! Stay off grid pay in cash, have a burner, never attract attention to yourself at all cost!
Robert McCall in this version is a former MARSOC (Marine Special Operations) turned ISA (that is like CIA Special Operators) who faked his death to leave that life behind to honor his wife's dying wish. When your body is stressed, it goes into flight or fight mode. high levels of cortisol and adrenaline are released into the blood stream causing you to perceive time as slowing down. This is really your brain processing sensory input faster. With the right training and experience you cannot just react faster but think in a controlled manner. This is what the camera is trying to explain quickly. Honey has antimicrobial healing properties and has been used for thousands of years for healing.
👍🏼
17:54 That’s a hoot 😂😅😂😅😅. Love the accents!! 😂 I hit it already. Btw.
Your movie reactions have really great audio! Love your editing in general!
Thank you! We do our best 💪
How dare you guys let us waiting for so long ❤
Sorry! 😬
Lol like someone else said this is a really good reaction. Nice work guys.
You need to watch THE EQUALIZER No-2 & No=3 as well
That's on the schedule!
I’ve missed you guys!
Love your reactions.
We've missed you and your easy to pronounce username!
@@mikeyshowpresents😁
I won’t be changing it so just call me User.
Or whatever you like 😆
one of my favorite reactions, greatly edited, great commentary
Maybe thanks!
Best reaction to this movie I've seen.
Best comment to this movie we've ever seen 👈🏼
"That place looks like it has great crab cakes." Damn I'm getting old because I know exactly what you mean. 😂
In the original 1980's T.V. series this was based on, Robert was a retired MI6/CIA double agent. He posted news paper ads offering his services. He also had a SON on the series played by William Zabka who also played Johnny in the Karate Kid. Very rarely in the series was any violence portrayed, Robert would basically outsmart them and they either did themselves in or ended up arrested. (Much like the A-Team series from the same era)
Was it also called The Equalizer?
@@mikeyshowpresents Yes. Staring Robert Woodward. This movie was BASED on the T.V. Series.
You guys are the only reactors who got the Gladys Knight and the Pips (Midnight Train To Georgia) over the store PA connection!! Good job!
Not sure if anyone commented on this already. But the reason why he keeps flipping the lights on and off at the end there was so Pushkin’s eyes couldn’t adjust, thus making it much harder for him to see him leaving, not to mention the trap.
I watched the show in the 80s.
Edward Fox was phenomenal.
Casting Denzel in that role was a stroke of genius.
He raised it to an art.
Look up Carbon Copy.
Denzels' first major movie, I think.
27:15 "Is this a Heckler&Koch?“
No, it's not. ^^
Greetings from Germany!
You guys are having tooo much fun!
That is true 😁
This movie was largely shot in East Boston and Chelsea Massachusetts, and I grew up in that very neighborhood that McCall lives in. The bridge seen in the opening shot is the Mystic River bridge and connects Points north in Ma. to downtown Boston. Two other movies were shot in that same neighborhood - "Blown Away" and "Mystic River". The first one is best forgettable but the the second is a must see! 👍
LMAO “…hit a baseball bat 15 times..” 😂 Thanks for the laughs. Keep them coming ❤
Love you both, wish you'd upload more often, you'll are heavily missing in the reaction space 💯💯
To see where Roberts character came from check out MAN ON FIRE with Denzel. And the little girl he worked with in that reunites with Denzel in EQUALIZER 3. And another very smart movie is LAW ABIDING CITIZEN with Gerard Butler and Jaimie Foxx
Will do!
So, I'm going back through some of your earlier videos. You guys crack me up! 😂😂😂
Yall do movies great. Something tells me you'd love sopranos.
you need to react to the other 2 films of The Equalizer with Denzel Washington. fun fact' he was trained by a navy seal in order to do his own stunts! this trilogy is FIRE. aside from movies if you watch interviews with Denzel he is super calm, intelligent and a bit OCD. He plays exactly who he is.
Nice! Cool info!
Any man who lays his hand physically, unprovoked on a woman is indeed a coward .
Check out the Accountant (Ben Affleck) and Shooter (Mark Wahlberg). They have interesting plots as well as great action scenes. Taken (Liam Neeson) is good too if y’all haven’t seen it.
Totally agree!!
The Accountant especially... extremely underrated film
100% agree
So good 👏🏾👏🏾
Yes! Please watch The Accountant! I love this movie! 🤩
The bald guy with the moustache during his fight scene with Denzel was also the same guy in John Wick when was shot in the head by the Babayaga.
For your next movie reaction video, you should watch The Bourne Series (1. The Bourne Identity, 2. The Bourne Supremacy 3. The Bourne Ultimatum). It has similar action sequences but excellent political thriller story telling!
the way you both react to new information and the way of your curiosity is awesome great reaction
Loved the ride and glad you guys loved the movie, one of my favorites so looking forward to the next 2!
yeah man, this movie killz... so good...
The next two movies are really worth diving into...Great reaction ...
Perfect, thx bud!
One of my favourite action movies along with John Wick, great reaction as usual guys
So good!
For an amazing example of Denzel embodying a wild character, you should check out Training Day. It's a movie everyone eventually gets to, and it's one that everyone should see.
Thanks for the recommendation
It’s one of the craziest cop films ever. I would LOVE to see their reaction to that! The leads are both amazing in that movie!!
Glad to see you two back. Love your content. Any plans to produce some more often? Maybe twice a month instead of once? :)
Yes, sorry for the delay. We have already recorded both the Shawshank redemption and John Wick chapter 2!
@@mikeyshowpresents Yay!!
Great reactions guys !
The last part was Adult Home Alone 😂
that is damn true my guy
Loved your reactions and your OG remarks are fun since very few of the younger generation gets them. Not all of them but some. Found recommendation in my feed so gave you a try, nice job gentleman, nothing understated or over the top, very pleasant watch. I'm going to throw in a little fantasy, The Lord of the Rings triology, if you think it would work for you and just because I thought they were fun, The Transformers movies. See you around.
Many thanks
Great reaction lads as always! I can't wait for your Equaliser 2 & 3 & also wanted to ask 8f you have done the taken moives? I'm guna looking now & see if you have hopefully I'll give them a watch aswell 🤔👍👍
No, not yet 😉
Watching this makes me wanna go rewatch equalizer 😅
This was a great watch, both of you guys are great at this.
Cool reaction, just like shaw shank and Forrest Gump.. Yes, I watched them all today haha. You guys were talking about Wick and him being partners. Well, watch the movie NOBODY (2021) and you're going to be in for a treat. Have a great day
Really like your channel. Keep up the good work✊
Thanks, will do!
The next two Equalizer movies are also a must watch! And The Accountant as well, barely anybody has reacted to The Accountant and its a really good movie. Also Man On Fire
Hey you guys if you like this episode of the Equalizer, you should check out the Equalizer II. You’ll absolutely love that one.
"I wanna have his kid." LMAO 🤣
It is not a nailgun, gents! It shoots bolts :) And is used to shoot through concrete. The power on those guns is way too powerful for him to hold with one hand without getting any sort of recoil heheh :D But it is hillarious!
great info, thx bud!
The follow up movie is a blast too lads, well worth a look!
I don't like crossover, but the one with John Wick and Denzel IS a mighty one. Love on U, from France 🇨🇵 (such in admiration with your russian's accent, incredible😂)
"What I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you.". - Liam Neeson

Great reaction to an awesome movie!!!
