Well in the comics she was already an acrobat. She'd been in Gymnastics since childhood. Joker taught her how to shoot, use knives and explosives, and she was trained by Artemis and the Amazons for her combat skills. Movie Harley... no clue.
Facts!! Add in HQ has been shown in comics to go toe to toe with Robin. And the antivenom that Poison Ivy used on her basically gave her low level super solder serum powers. Like a healing factor and increased speed stamina immunity and strength. It's all up the the writers to add or take out to their discretion.
A little backround, we have a huge roller derby community- worldwide- this movie is our anthem! The stunts were performed by one of our own ❤️ to all the skaters who know- you know 😎
Had to look this up: Harley Quinn is a highly skilled combatant due to her years as a criminal and uses her skills in gymnastics to help her in her fights. Master Acrobat: Harley's skills in gymnastics rival with those of Catwoman and Nightwing. Toxic Immunity: As a result of Poison Ivy’s treatment, she is immune to various assorted toxins and Ivy’s own poisonous touch. Enhanced Strength & Stamina: Harley's strength and stamina has been augmented by injections given to her by Poison Ivy.
Am I the only one who felt like this movie was anti-climatic. It was good for DC. I felt the villian was trash especially, especially after we just watched "Joker".
Thank you Tony. I pray for your success. You bring joy to my life. I know it's NONE of my business, BUT I also pray that you and Sabrina have a long, happy, loving relationship. Ya'll just seem good together. That's just me.
I have literally no intention of seeing this movie but I like TB reviews so much that I watch them whether I’m interested in the actual movie or not. ❤️❤️❤️
I'll eventually see it. I'm still hurt over the fact that Batgirl/Oracle wasn't in it. She's a founding member and this isn't Harley's squad (Sirens: Harley, Poison Ivy and Catwoman). Sorry you were annoyed by the girl, she was also an awesome character that was nerfed. Sigh,again, I'll see it eventually.
I actually saw this movie and it was really good. I didn't want to see it because of Suicide Squad. But my son wanted to see it so I couldn't turn down some mom and son time(especially with my teenage son.) I didn't notice the sandwich on the desk...lol but her getting mad about the sandwich was funny. Great movie review Tone. 😁
Harley grew up doing gymnastics and was almost Olympic level at it. Most of her fighting is based around gymnastics and she got better as time went on and experience from fighting being a criminal.
Don’t forget the Joker keeps Harley around because she could fight and she was just as crazy as him. The movie was really good! The little girl is Important to the story and when she grows up she becomes “Orphan” of the Batman family. I think Black Mask was cool. I wish they would have said that particular “Mask” was special like it could bring you back to life 🤔 now Zazs was week in the comics he was a serial killer. The Zazs on the show Gotham was better
That wasn't the real Cassandra Cain it was just some random person they named Cassandra Cain she's nothing like her, Renee Montoya was awful They didn't respect the source material it's so bad they changed the name of the movie to try and get people to watch it.
I asked the same question, where did she learn her fight skills? She was a gymnast in her past so yea she can flip around, but the fighting... did those chemicals include some super powers?
Great review as usual...whatchu think about the outta nowhere super power at the end? Trying not to spoil but they threw that in kinda willie nillie. Yea they hinted at it when she was singing in the club but it was lazy 🙄
I like hearing his reviews. Tony is honest with his review. All of the other people reviewing this movie are just bashing it because it's a woman's movie. And that the women is beating up a man easily.
I have a long list of reasons why I will never see Suicide Squad, however the BoP is a slightly shorter list. From what I’ve seen of the trailers...it’s like , the only thing they got right was Bud and Lou.
@@lisa.222 Exactly! People won't question captain America being an Olympic level athletes and a great hand to hand combatant. But when it comes to DC movies, people love cock sucking
Its funny that you bring up Harley's fighting skills, because I feel like that's one of the things they did well. She's ALL about the blunt weapons. They were pretty true to her character in that regard. She hardly did any actual hand-to-hand combat. She's mostly self-taught, but come on, anybody can swing shit around. Also, I don't think the movie mentioned it, but she was a gymnast at some point. So all her acrobatics come from that.
Harley startedvof in the 90s Batman cartoon, and eventually became a legit character in the comics, but I didn't really see her as a combat savvy character. More of a wacky brute that is aggressive with melee weapons like her giant bat she uses. Hopefully if they make another Harley Quinn movie it's with Poison Ivy since that's her bestie, and possibly her lover after leaving The Joker's highly abusive relationship.
Also, on twitter and such, a lot of people have been saying that this movie had a strong feminist message but.. idk, I didn't get that vibe AT ALL. Like, sure its mostly a female cast, but they never really went outta their way to say that like a lot of movies do. They were all characters first, the fact that they were women didn't have any bearing on anything really. Which is how it should be done, imo.
The dudebros have been searching for MUH WOKE in female led movies for so long now that they are blind to an actual really good female led violent action flick that doesn't have a feminist message which they need to rant and rave about for clicks.
Sophie Leonard Ewan Mcgregor did a lot press talking about fighting misogyny. I think they tried to market it as a feminist movie even tho it may not be one. Either way, it’s killing any momentum for this movie. It’s already being cast aside with 2016 ghostbusters n terminator dark fate. Guys don’t mind female led action movies. It’s the feminist marketing that makes men tune out. It’s like they don’t want men to watch n then when they don’t they’re upset because they didn’t watch.
@@deelovesamy Agreed the marketing was garbage. Now imagine how many butts that would've been in seats if they marketed it as what is was: an awesome female kick ass action flick choreographed by the John Wick team.
Sophie Leonard You’re exactly right! They should’ve trusted their gut because when the trailers first dropped there was no talk of the movie being like this. It seems like a couple months before debut they started saying this stuff.
I really enjoyed Birds of Prey personally. The end was a bit disappointing, but over all it was a fast paced fun movie for me. Margot was fantastic in it, I also liked Black Canary. Ewan was amazing and he certainly looked to be having a blast playing Black Mask. The huntress was pretty dope, she ended up being a badass, but the Hyena was under utilized. The action sequences in that movie were some the best I've seen in recent memory and it had a lot of style to it, pretty funny too. I will have to say though, I think since they went with R rating, not having any nudity in the movie - at all - was a missed opportunity to draw more adults. All the actresses are attractive and by going R, gave up the ability of teens being able to watch this movie by themselves. I mean even in Suicide Squad, Harley pulled her shirt up to show her bra and the internet went nuts for it. I also think it being inevitably tied to Suicide Squad and not aptly naming it HARLEY QUINN!!!!! -and the Birds of Prey-(they did the complete opposite actually) were detrimental contributions to the films under performance. Come to think of it, they really didn't advertise Ewan Mcgregor being in there either. I was totally surprised to see him, seems like a major miscalculation. Regardless, if they expected it to make Joker money, they were just dumb. I would expect a relatively unknown group of hero's, tied to Suicide Squad, in an R rated movie to pull in at max around 400 million. It did half that, but I think it still made a profit, even if it was slim. I'd love to see another, probably depends now on James Gunn's Suicide Squad. Margot's Harley Quinn is a lot of fun.
I haven’t seen this movie yet, I wanna sit back and watch some reviews first. After hearing you describe it, I had a feeling you would give it a 3 & 1/2 out of 5 😎
@@cal5000 Margot Robbie in an interview explained how movie!Harley was a gymnast and that's were her fighting style comes from. There are even some versions of the comic were Harley did gymnastics in school.
Joker can fight. The reason being is that he is so unhinged you can't predict his moves at all. Remember comic book logic... so yeah basically he's so crazy and unpredictable that even in hand-to-hand fights he's quite formidable. I'm sure harley somehow got used to it since she was being hella abused so yeah that's just my theory on how they have fighting skills and also how it's often explained in the comics.
I feel like Deadpool is more of an edgy 4th wall breaking immortal character. Like his action scenes are really just to over emphasize his brutality/immortality, and show of his smart mouth remarks. Would be cool to see him in a movie with Spiderman since he has a romantic interest with Spidey, and is always harassing him to no end.
In the videogames, joker wasn't exactly a skilled fighter but he was indeed violent. Harley was the more limber, skilled, and fluid fighter in the games
Yea harley jus came outta nowhere knowing penchak silat idk where in the movies. But the comics i believe she was trained when she was in the suicide squad
Saw it. Loved it, mostly. Anything is better than Suicide Squad. Totally didn't peeped the Captain's sandwich at all. I love Ewan McGregor usually but hated this Black Mask. Black Mask in the animated movies at least, had the mask on his face permanently and that alone made him a super scary dude, he was walking talking bulldozer. I thought this was his origin story and by the end he'd be that real hardcore Black Mask bc of what was going to happen in the movie but nope. This Black Mask was silly, whiny and being manipulated by his right hand man. That was so weak. And I just knew he was gonna kill the dude but he didn't even do that. I don't think he killed anybody himself. Didn't everybody learn from Black Panther, villains got to be as interesting as the hero. Being "crazy" ain't enough.
Well in the comics she was already an acrobat. She'd been in Gymnastics since childhood. Joker taught her how to shoot, use knives and explosives, and she was trained by Artemis and the Amazons for her combat skills.
Movie Harley... no clue.
Man she can’t fight lol this movie was a joke plus her original format she could not fight
@@GreenNotes007yea she can 🤡
Joker’s hand-to-hand varies depending on whoever’s writing. But of course we know his skills with the crowbar!
Facts!!
Add in HQ has been shown in comics to go toe to toe with Robin.

That's awesome!!! Congrats too your derby friend!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
We need a “The Lighthouse” review Tony! Your opinion is critical.
The kid shouldn’t be mouthy because her character in the comics is mute
That lil girl was talking to much
This is true.
Not like she was comic accurate tho. Also she learns to speak later
@@slicktom300 yes. And running from Harley after she kept saving her.
I can't WAIT to see Tony's thumbnail for the SONIC THE HEDGEHOG MOVIE review!
See, now if Black Mask had threatened Gotham’s water supply, that’s when - -
Lol

Birds of Prey: the emancipation of sandwiches
Am I the only one who felt like this movie was anti-climatic. It was good for DC. I felt the villian was trash especially, especially after we just watched "Joker".
Joker wasnt really climatic tho
FUN FACT: Margot is allergic to chicken eggs, so that egg sandwich she eats has duck eggs instead lol
Hot ones🔥👏🏽

5:50 man, the power of the perfect egg sandwich. It's unstoppable
Just made one last night!
This is the first time that I have ever seen one of your movie reviews. This was really good, great job!
I have literally no intention of seeing this movie but I like TB reviews so much that I watch them whether I’m interested in the actual movie or not. ❤️❤️❤️
Not the sandwich... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Your thumbnails are everything 😂😂😂
You are the only person to review this movie as just a movie and not a huge political statement against men. Thank you.
I've been missing these videos glad you still here thanks and God bless
I KNEW I could count on Tony for a fair review. Great job Tony!
I'll eventually see it. I'm still hurt over the fact that Batgirl/Oracle wasn't in it. She's a founding member and this isn't Harley's squad (Sirens: Harley, Poison Ivy and Catwoman). Sorry you were annoyed by the girl, she was also an awesome character that was nerfed. Sigh,again, I'll see it eventually.
Tony..........when she dropped that sandwich 😤😭
She's a former Olympic level gymnast. And uses her agility in her fighting mainly
Lol 😂
🔥 as always Tony. God bless brotha.
I didn't think as much of Birds of Prey as you did I thought it a pretty half-ass movie. The energy level was on half the whole movie.
Jurnee Smollett was/is gorgeous in the movie
That thumbnail tho 🤣🤣

I loved the sandwich part too lol
Movie was a lil to bright for me , being that it was set in gothom it shud have been much darker
I'm a counselor..We have a lot of pinned up aggressive behavior..😳🤛🏾🤜🏾💥🏃🏾♀️
Harley grew up doing gymnastics and was almost Olympic level at it. Most of her fighting is based around gymnastics and she got better as time went on and experience from fighting being a criminal.
That’s not gone work buddy lol 😂 no way she beats men of the size she was up against
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm going to watch it and have a blessed day
The only thing they use to explain her fighting ability is her gymnastics background
Don’t forget the Joker keeps Harley around because she could fight and she was just as crazy as him. The movie was really good! The little girl is Important to the story and when she grows up she becomes “Orphan” of the Batman family. I think Black Mask was cool.

Shes also the daughter of Lady Shiva one of DCs best fighters. She (Cassandra Cain) even beat Batman a few times.

You and that sandwich!! 🥪🙄😂🤣😂

I want a sammich now
TONY!!! I said the sandwich thing at work at my theatre and they said I was bugging
“I’m like ‘yo the sandwich!!’” Hahahaha I’m gonna that at work tomorrow
Junrnee killed in Great Debaters and The Underground too...she is dope and poppin'
Favorite scene is the evidence room fight Harley went ham with the bat
Weak villains is a huge disappointment to me with superhero movies! Justice league man. Trash villain
I have a long list of reasons why I will never see Suicide Squad, however the BoP is a slightly shorter list. From what I’ve seen of the trailers...it’s like , the only thing they got right was Bud and Lou.
Dont waste your money honey its trash for teenagers
Knowing gymnastics doesn't mean that she would be a good fighter. If it did, then Olympic gymnasts would be great fighters, but most of them aren't.
Lyn thank you lol, I see all these comments that she was a gymnast. I got to thinking how many mma fighters were former gymnasts.
Its DC universe. Anything can make u a good fighter
@@lisa.222 no it doesnt. In the comics She was trained when she was with the sucide squad
@@jashardwallington still it's a superhero world. Things aren't always super realistic

I'm headed to Jimmy John's for lunch today because of this review...thanks Tone🤷🏾😂
