- As the executive producer, creator, writer, director and star of “Barry,” Bill Hader wears a lot of hats. One hat he doesn’t wear, however, is motorcycle driver. So, during a pivotal chase scene where Barry drives a motorcycle across the freeway, he stuck a helmet on a stunt double and dressed him up to look like him.

this show needs to be talked about more. It's as good as shows like Game of Thrones, Succession, Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, etc. I know it's won a lot of awards recognition, but the general audiences don't talk about it enough. This episode was so amazing!
Good ! It can become a cult classic and not suck like GoT eventually
One of the best right now , can't understand how it's not popular.
I mean it's so entertaining , deserves more recognition
Succession is trash
its defo on the same level as succession in my opinion
I'm always telling people to watch it, this show is so fuckin good.
I didn't even notice there wasn't music, never occurred to me because the scene is so good its sucks you in.
it LITERALLY sucks you in. the noise that bikes made as they were lane splitting was so tense and also scratched my brain so nicely
It felt like I was watching someone play GTA V
If you listen closely during the lane-splitting part of the scene, you can actually hear radio programs from the various cars they are passing.
You don't consider Barry's humming music?!
Opposite for me. I was like usually there’s music but nah
The most underrated part of this sequence is Barry humming to himself.
Fucking loved it
Trying to calm down lmao
you're my buddy, you're my friend...
@@KittyPieVibes i see it more like he's just humming calmly instead of trying to "calm down", because he's already too used to this kind of shit happening to him
My favorite part is right after he’s stolen the motorcycle, when he rides right past the guys chasing him and goes “aw, _shit”_ in the most hilariously disappointed tone.
I was blown away by this scene. Just like the fight scene in season 2, I can’t believe how freaking good this show can be and is
Which fight scene?
@@ethelpeanut4364 Probably this one: ua-cam.com/video/lp68KJkRNv4/v-deo.html
@@ethelpeanut4364 barry v ronny i think!
@@ethelpeanut4364 the young girl who wasnt of this world remember 🤣🤣🤣
@@65g4 That reminded of the opening of Dawn of the Dead. I wonder if it influenced that scene.
I love how they unintentionally talk about street names and routes just as much as Bill's old Californians skits from SNL
GET OUTA HERE DEVON, TAKE THE -
at this time of day??? it's gonna be PACKED
Whaaaaadur you doin' here Shtyuert??
@@VanessaLeavitt I can't believe you spelled that out so perfectly hahaha. I can hear it so well when reading this 🤣
@@nickdoesnthaveyoutube Haha!! Glad you liked it!
I loved how eerie the whole scene was without music. Just that sound of Barry's half-broken dirtbike whining on the highway, contrasted against the other dirtbikes' healthier growls, built so much tension.
This whole season has felt like watching a car accident, in the best way possible.
I don't think that it's his bike that is broken, it sounds as if it's in first gear and Barry doesn't understand how to bring it up into a higher gear.
Watch the Ronin chase scene. No music. Very similar vibe. Its like being in an actual car chase. While this chase was good, the Ronin chase scene is hands down the best one ever made.
This is one of the best shows ever made and it’s criminally underrated.
It's not really underrated because the reviews are freaking amazing, as they should be. It's just that there aren't enough people who either know or have watched it
@@KillerTacos54 Yeah I think overlooked is more the right word, most people I know haven't even heard of this show, it's sad.
it sucks cause like most people nowadays won't watch a show that's currently running unless it's marvel or a netflix original. they always looking for new shows but yet still haven't seen barry.
@@Outliers4Life True. I have recommended this show to almost everyone I have seen but no one has given it a chance because they don't hear about it a lot online enough!
@@KillerTacos54 That's true. As others have said, I should have written overlooked! Kind of like the Leftovers for me. Amazing shows and beloved by critics but not watched by enough people.
I just started to rewatch Barry from the beginning recently and in the pilot there’s a scene where Barry is stuck in traffic and a motorcycle flies past him and Barry gets mad at the biker. Such a smart callback.
Lol knowing how often characters run into each other around LA it probably was one of the motocross thugs
They never talked about the hand off of the machine gun, that was epic. Most action scenes would have made that perfect hand off and start shooting the machine gun while riding the bike in traffic. Barry has been amazing thus far.
Bill's development as a filmmaker is just extraordinary. He is completely without pretence yet so confident and clear in his vision. And he still acts as if he's just a goofy guy who got lucky.
I am extremely excited to see what comes next for him. I think a series of groundbreaking features is in his future. If I ran a studio I would just give him a blank cheque and say 'go for it!'
Can you IMAGINE him working with Jordan Peele??
I was thinking the same thing while watching this scene in particular. I really hope someone takes a chance on him and gives him a proper budget, he could create something truly unique.
@jordypoe I hadn’t heard of documentary now!
@jordypoe 100% checking it out right now. Thank you! ☺️
Barry has some of the best cinematography ever imo.
I hate action movies, but I LOVED this chase sequence. It was the antithesis of the glorification of chase scenes we've seen time and time again: no thrilling music leading the audience, realistic movements, reactions, and physics. The reality of Barry's lifestyle as actually realistic and mundane was portrayed in contrast to the glorification of violence and badassery we've seen time and time again. Wonderfully executed. 100% in line with the humor and realism I think Mr. Hader was shooting for.
Such a good show. Also did anyone else get Californian's sketch flashbacks when they were talking about which highways were used...
OMG, yes!
It's pretty true. U gotta know the freeways if you're in LA/OC/Riverside/SB.
YES!
Everything about this episode is excellent. The visual of Barry hanging onto a box of pastries, while riding a dirt bike....while being shot at for miles and miles is just so ridiculous, and so this show.
Also in this episode, always wondering why the line at the bakery is so long, with the answer being Mitch the pastry chef is giving one on one marriage/relationship/life advice counseling free at pick up is absolutely fantastic.
and to top it off, what the pastry box caused after the chase...
I wonder if the place is only popular because people see the long lines and think it's really good
I loved how much of this scene was shot like something out of Grand Theft Auto.
Great scene. It's especially the sound design. It was hilarious that it wasn't amped up. It sounded exactly how it would really sound. Weird, fast, scary and bewildering.
I remember thinking to myself, “are they rlly doing this?” when Barry is taking off down into the freeway. The way they shot the 3rd person angle was so sweet, I think it was one shot for awhile too.
I remember thinking how crazy this whole sequence was while watching it. Never seen a bike chase like that before.
Imo Barry was already one of the best shows out there but this season has absolutely elevated Barry. Apparently next season Bill is directing every episode and every episode he directs is so good so im hype to see it
I absolutely Loved this scene so much!! No unnecessary shakey came or wild cuts or overly dynamic camera angles, just straight up one shot of the back then one shot of the front, during the chase. So badass
The best part is that the sequence gets more violent and dangerous but at the same time it gets funnier... like it gets to a point that you are thinking "WTF IS GOING ON WH... WH... WHAT?" I can't explain how much I love Bill Hader and the crew is just amazing
He's such a genius of detail. The shooting at the end was incredibly symbolic.
3:45 - When the Supervising location manager started talking about the freeways and exists, all I could think about was “the Californians”
It is an a insane scene so meticulously and so brilliantly done that my only gripe is I wish this was shown on IMAX because I would pay to see this on the biggest screen. And the fact that Bill Hader directed this another reason why he’s a genius. Nothing on tv compares to this action sequence. It’s cinematic in every way.
Every minute of this scene and this show is perfection.
One of the most dramatic scenes I can remember is when Barry asks... "Why did you say that!?" Then shoots one of his old long time friends.
@@hurleyinc686 when I saw that scene I paused the TV and took like a solid 2 minutes to process it
Shocked the hell out of me. That's what makes a great show.
“Hey we can get these bikers to do anything!”
Most menacing thing: the sound of the bikes approaching
A very, very underrated show that didn't get much coverage in the UK. I only stumbled onto it earlier this year and binge watched. Absolutely perfect!
Halfway through this turned into a new episode of The Californians
Honestly one of the best chase scenes I've seen in AGES. I absolutely love the way they did this in the show!!!
That was one of the best sequences in the series so far!...I also liked the one when Couseneau was running through the yard being chased by dogs while the homeowner couple was breaking up
Barry is the most original and entertaining show since breaking bad. It’s a brilliant mixture of drama, comedy, action and amazing character driven story lines. By far my favorite show in the last decade.
The whole of episode six just popped off. The mirror shot, the red balcony shot, the chase sequence--I'd love to see Hader direct a movie with similar sensibilities (if he hasn't already).
Dude, that sequence was SO FUCKING BADASS!
I watched it twice. Amazing work 👏 🔥
one of the best shows on TV right now.
I am just blown away by how amazing the bill hader directed episodes are. He truly is a talent of our generation, up there with Donald Glover
i heard he's directing every episode next season so im pretty hype for that
This show needs go down as one of the greatest tv shows ever made. It is on par with every other show talked about in that way
Barry has many moments of comedy genius. A standout is at the start of the sequence when the three bikers surround Barry's stationary car and try to ID him. "Is that him?", "Yeah, it looks like him. What do we do?", "I don't know ... shoot him, I guess?" Not only the actual line, but delivered to perfection by the actor. I laughed so hard I went into a coughing fit! Hats off to all involved in creating this awesome sequence.
That episode had me laughing so hard and I don't find this show that comedic.
What bill mentioned at the end, of giving characters the ability to be in the foreground, is something i really love about barry. Bill lets so many characters do a lot of heavy lifting that by the end of season 4, other characters have more screen time than barry but it builds together so beautifully
the shot where he first merges onto the freeway and keeps getting passed by traffic is so funny
The comical slowness of the whole chase is so weird and so funny
it's very rare for me to watch a scene with my mouth open, and rewatch it again and again in awe. Kudos to all involved.
It’s amazing how well made this show is and how funny it is too. There’s nothing like it
This scene built so much tension without music or quick cuts and gratuitous special effects and stunts. A really great scene and should set the benchmark for chase scenes. Actually, when I think about it, the tension was so great I didn't even notice the absence of music.
This was very interesting. I would have liked to hear about the audio design, as well. If you close your eyes during this scene, the foley and sound design work is pretty incredible. Even just the WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH of the bikes going between cars, or the consistent, high pitch whine of the dirt bikes, adds to the tension of the scene.
you can hear the cars' radios as well, which I thought was a cool touch
Dang I was waiting and waiting for them to get into the sound design. That sucks they didn’t because it was incredibly done in this episode
Just the sound of the cars as they pass by at a high rate of speed made me nervous. I do have to say I was confused as to why the used car salesman had a shotgun at the ready and loaded at his dealership. When I was young, people didn't have so many guns around. Now they're everywhere. It's insane. (And I also thought the scene where the mother and son debate about murdering Barry - in front of a gun salesman - who doesn't give it a second thought as he rings up the sale of a Beretta. I love Hader's thoughts about gun control - because he does certainly have thoughts about it).
Cause they in LA lol
The guy said not today 🤣
Bro dude owns a car shop people steel cars all the time its his lively hood
That was the joke with the mom and son getting a gun at the gun store. Not realistic at all not how gun laws anywhere work. Especially in California all the inspections into your lively hood they do just to get a gun. Gun store owns can be held in come cases responsible for selling guns to people like that. Your lack of gun laws or knowledge is scary. Realistically they would have gotten it illegally from a criminally on a street corner.
When were you young? Cause I seem to recall some pretty huge violent riots about 30 years ago in CA involving plenty of guns
Bill Hader already established himself as one of the goats with his more than brilliant work in Barry. Acting wise, directing and writing wise too. The show is so fresh it feels like I've never seen something like it before.
The whole show reminds me a lot of Pulp Fiction. It has a way of making these goofy sequences feel grounded and tense. Then once it is over, you get this weird feeling of dread when you are forced to come to terms with what you just watched.
That scene was just incredible! And I really appreciate that they did not get over the top with the stunts... in true Barry form
I watched that episode today and was blown away by the chase sequence, enough to find others on the interweb…
Such a terrific sequence. Everything about it shows the genius of Barry
the most cinematic show on TV and maybe ever made. Masterwork
Easily one of the top 5 shows on TV right now and hands down making its way into the top 10 all time. Hader is simply a genius in the directors chair. This show is criminally underrated. I hope we get endless seasons of this amazing show.
All the talk about highways makes this sound like The Californians. 😂
love this show so much! Awesome behind the scenes info! thank you
such an amazing scene!! Barry season 3 has been such a treat. Bill is the best
Fucking iconic scene
I enjoyed the understatedness of this action/chase scene. It was more of a satire of an action scene, in that we could hear the assailants talking initially, like normal-ish strangers one might cross paths with; then the rather incompetent hand off of the rifle, leading to the biker getting launched onto the car. It does not glorify the action; It feels more in keeping with the real world and so comedic!
I watched this scene over and over, what a great show!
This show is for sure one of the best shows streaming right now.
This was amazing loved every second of this I'm hoping more people see this!
This episode is one of the best I’ve seen in a while.
The machine gun "HAND OFF!!!"
"WHAT?!" made me laugh so fuckin hard 😂
one of my favorite shows of all time.
I was verry suprised when i was seeing this, i was like "whaaa.."
This show is amazing ! love everything about it
The show is exceptional for so many reasons, but its absurdism and unpredictability absolutely seals it for me. And Hader's just getting started. Such unique intelligent visions. All signs point to him becoming one of our filmmaking greats. [ And oh god _please_ stop saying he or the show is "underrated"; both are receiving fuck tons of deserved acclaim and recognition 🤦♂️]
So well done
I love how they show the point of view of a person getting shot at and the awkwardness that comes along with it.
brilliant sequence. brilliant series. talent, talent, talent, talent, talent, talent... thank you.
We need more Barry asap
I know exactly where that closed dealership is (South Torrance). That wedge where Newton begins (residential area) from PCH - with Torrance Airport on the other side of the Ford dealership (can see the Ford sign across the street in the scene). Excellent chase sequence - loved it - and the bakery bag on his wrist the whole time.
Such an amazing scene! One of my favorite shows ever ❤️
this movie is a treat to anyone who adores cinematography!
Not a movie. Great show though. It will be missed
These people are brilliant, what a scene. When he runs over the cycle punk and she ends up top of the car dealer. Outrageous genius. As good as the motorcycle chase scene in terminator.
This is one of the best shows on tv
This was one of my favorite episodes of Barry. Right up there with ronny/lily. This was definitely one of the best chase scenes I've ever watched.
It's getting to the point that I can basically predict which episodes Hader directs by the time the end credits roll. You can tell he's a fan of classic/world cinema by the way he stages the camera and when/why he moves it. He's said in past interviews that he's a huge film buff and the way he directs & the performances he gets from his performers convey as much.
One of the best, most logistically complicated chase scenes I've seen.
i've read someone somewhere comparing this to a Jacques Tati film, and i can't say how spot on they were. Just perfect!
When the guy was explaining where they filmed all I could think of was the californians from SNL😂
One of the best action sequences I’ve ever seen. Season 3 was incredible
Nothing but beautiful souls in this UA-cam video
Damn you can really tell that Carl is from LA but his cinematography is refreshing and inspiring. It's always a harder to coordinate an actual stunt than it is to just fake one and hide with a dozen different cuts within 5 seconds like you see in a lot of action films. Carl's approach is much more grounded and it makes everything feel almost eerily real
As an aspiring screenwriter and director, Bill Hader such an inspiration. Hader and his team make it seem so easy!
From giving directions on the Californians SNL to this, Bill Hader is a certified legend and I can’t wait to see him dive deeper into cinema. His first feature length film is something I’m stoked on
As someone who used to live in Alhambra for 6 years, it really made my day to see the exit I usually take home. What an amazing sequence, so glad they shared this BTS, it lives in my head rent free.
It's very funny how the newest season of Righteous Gemstones and this new season of Barry both feature dirt bike gang antagonists lol
This scene is legendary! Best show of all time lol I’m bummed season finale i yelled out NO! Can’t wait for next season
snub of the century at the emmys this year
One of the more unique and accomplished action sequences I have seen in a TV show. Ruled.
Best. Show. Ever. Hands down.
Both the righteous gemstones and Barry had Motocross gangs so well done so unique and so different from each other. This year.
Time to give Bill Hader a big budget movie Project
This scene gives me goosebumps 👍
Perfect combination of humor (the rooftop section of the chase was darkly funny) and making the audience think realistically and go “wait no oh my god?? Please no!”
I'm surprised they didn't mention GTA, that whole sequence had such a GTA vibe to it, I could've sworn it served as an inspiration
Love this show! Just finished season 3 yesterday.
If you like Barry, I recommend checking out the show Patriot. It has a similar vibe.
Barry is such a great show, not only the writing and acting but the direction, I would love to see bill hadar take on a action film, he'd be great directing one after this scene. and last years supermarket scene in season 2
I love it that they did it on the freeway!
This was awesome when I watched it 👏
Just full take no editing I think
That chase scene was incredible. When Barry ended i was lost lol what the duck am i gonna watch
You should watch fargo.
