CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Darkman (Liam Neeson) bids farewell to his girlfriend, Julie (Frances McDormand), before disappearing behind a final disguise: Bruce Campbell.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Neglecting Julie (Frances McDormand), his lawyer lady friend, Dr. Peyton Westlake (Liam Neeson) works feverishly to perfect his latest invention -- artificial skin that could be used to treat burn victims. Peyton himself falls victim to an explosion when one of Julie's crooked clients sends his henchmen to sniff out an incriminating document that's been left in Westlake's lab. Hideously disfigured and left for dead, the good doctor receives an experimental medical treatment that renders him super-strong, impervious to pain and prone to heightened fits of rage. Rebuilding his lab into an underground hideout, Westlake begins using his synthetic skin to impersonate various characters and engineer his revenge against those who destroyed his life. Reconnecting with Julie, however, becomes the unsightly vigilante's biggest challenge.

Bruce Campbells cameos in a raimi movie is the equivalent of a stan lee cameo in a marvel movie
I think even the great Stan Lee would be somewhat impressed by Campbell's cameo career.
Nah, that's his car, the Delta 88.
I can't believe they made some psycho death cult version of the evil dead movies for this age group. after the shortlived but funny ash vs the evil dead series.
Original 3 Spiderman movies
😂
This was by far Bruce Campbell's best cameo!!!
"Groovy!" or I guess, "Who's laughing, who's laughing now!"
Final Shemp
As a kid I already saw Evil dead and Army of darkness and when I saw Bruce, I screamed ''It's Ash!!!!''
I loved these two stories so much.
@@houseviking4352 He was going to be Darkman but the studio rejected him
@@alexojideagu Damn. Well, Bruce didn't do too bad for himself but he did end up doin' a cameo in Marvel. Again!
'I'm everywhere, and nowhere. I'm everyone, and no one. Call me Darkman.' That's sounds cool.
It's become a tradition in Superhero movies to have the main character say something like that at the end. "Who am I? I'm Spider-Man." or "Truth is...I am Iron Man."
cobycss Yep
He's a a silent guardian, a watchful protector: a dark... man.
Reminds me of something The Shadow would say.
@@graynolehammersmith8149 actually from what I've read, Sam Raimi was suppose to direct that movie. but since he got snobbed, made his own version and came DarkMan. as much as I like The Shadow concept, Darkman for me is much better both character and storywise. some sort of a dark version of Batman.
So Liam Neeson became Bruce Campbell? I can believe that.
+The Scorpion Then went camping in the woods with friends and read from a book he found in a cabin.
That would explain how Ash was able to take so much abuse and be willing to chop off his own hand.
Bruce Campbell was originally chosen to play Darkman until Liam Neeson got the role. For me Liam made the role his own
They did that as a joke, since Bruce Campbell was in Evil Dead by the same director.
Bruce was apparently suppose to play this entire role but got the last 10 or 15 seconds of the movie
I don't think LIam Neeson gets as much credit as he deserves for this role. Jesus...that VOICE. He nailed the pain and agony of this character. I really wish rami would have continued creative influence(directing, writing etc) with this series and continued to have Neeson play Darkman. If not, i think they should have ended with this one. So much potential with this character and those direct to video movies didn't capitalize
In my mind, the sequels don't exist. They weren't as good as this one.
You know, they made a Evil Dead vs Darkman comic, so I can understand how this came into play. Maybe plot for a potential crossover movie. Too bad it never happened, otherwise, it would’ve been huge.
Liam was the BOSS in this film!
Who knows...might see him again. Hollywood loves reboots
@@dilz2467 No thanks hollywood will screw it up.
"I can live with it now, but I don't think anyone else can." That's the most heartbreaking line to me.
Or "Peyton is gone."
The one that got me was when she embraced him not knowing it will be the last time she will get to feel him and said, "I want our life back." He was quiet cause he knew it was impossible.
Reminds me of some women who cheated and got caught. "I want our life back!!" "Payton is gone."
"Peyton is gone." Perfect voice, perfect delivery!
In his defense, these changes to the man inside were enabled by the mental instability caused by both his trauma and the radical medical procedure done by the doctors. But yes, these choices afterwards were his alone. He chose to commit murder, he chose to set up the men who disfigured him, he chose to break that carnival vendors fingers, and just moments earlier he chose to allow the mastermind behind at all to plunge to his death. He knows if Julie stays with him he's bound to do harm even if he doesn't intend it. He is strong enough to live with these changes, and he loves her enough to let her go in order to protect her from this new world he dwells in.
Exactly 💯
That make up job is so fucking metal.
Raimi and his team really have an eye for great practical effects.
He may be a dark hero, but he did the most responsible thing as one: give up the thing he want the most
"Sometimes in order to do the right thing, we have to be steady, and give up the thing we want the most...even our dreams." Sound familiar?
His eyes man...not many actors can speak through their eyes.
With old CGI you could
@@misovejasescuchanmivoz CGI would just ruin that I think
Bruce was Sam's first choice to be Darkman but the studio forced him to choose a more marketable actor, and they got Liam Neeson. Nothing wrong, but I would like to go to an alternate future where Bruce was Darkman.
I'm a big Bruce Campbell fan, but this movie has a lot of dramatic scenes, and Liam was a lot more suited for such scenes than Bruce...
@SgtBaker16 That's real acting. It's just different.
@SgtBaker16 Do you even know what is acting, dumbass?
Yeah, he was a Shakespearean actor, and I think that background really sold us on the tragedy of the characters.
The thing is who would want to live in a world with a horribly scarred Bruce Campbell 😢
One of the most underrated anti heroes ever on film. Brilliant
0:28 - “Julie... don’t you think I told myself that, night after sleepless night? It just the burn. Skin-deep. It doesn’t matter. And if I covered it, hid behind the mask. You could love me for who I was inside. Without pity. But a funny thing happened. As I worked on the mask, I found the man inside was changing. He became wrong.... a monster.”
Easily one of the best monologues in film I’ve ever seen, a msn was rampant on revenge, he got it and won. But the scars physically and mentally will never leave him, he can’t accept his life back with open arms, even if the love of his life accepts him, he can never accept himself
It's really sad because it's just Payton's sensory deprived brain telling him he can't be happy. This movie deserves more attention than it gets.
Ooh interesting point.
Lol no he’s come to a harsh conclusion after everything that’s happened, he can’t pretend to be the man he was anymore
I think it's the alienation the doctor mentioned
definitely. not a comic book super hero but Darkman is far more sensible than many other DC and Marvel super heros
When he killed the one who ruined his life, he realized that he become too monstrous to stay w his loved one.
This movie is so reminiscent of Phantom of the Opera, which was of course deliberate.
Bruce Campbell should have played Darkman in the sequels!
Damn right
Arnold Vosloo (Imhotep) from the The Mummy and The Mummy Returns. And was also in 1 of the Van Damme action films co-star Nancy Yatze.
Really, the sequels were already b-movies, why not get the b-movie king to star on them?
the movie would end before it even begins. Bruce Campbell has more power than chuck norris
I much preferred Neeson.
I'm sure Bruce Campbell would've done great in the role given the chance, but Liam Neeson is just so good. He is Darkman to me, seeing anyone else play him would be so weird.
The actor that played the mummy one and two He played Darkman 2 and 3
@@actionfigurescollectionssu7854 I know, I meant if someone else played him in the first film. I don't really acknowledge the sequels cause they aren't as good as this one.
The makeup in this movie is amazing.
It sure is
2:19 - "I'm everyone, and no one. Everywhere, nowhere. Call me...Darkman."
That's a great way to end this film.
the bat
It became clear as they were descending that Peyton and Julie weren’t going to have the life they shared prior to Peyton’s disfiguring. Peyton successfully got his revenge, but he now confronts a new reality , one that has him forever scarred, mentally and physically.
Julie never told Peyton the document was at his lab. She caused this!
@@rsj515 True but wasnt her fault.
@@hexxed13 Exactly. How was she supposed to know that document was important enough to kill and maim over?
@@AngelofMusic04 Yup indeed
@@hexxed13 The documents that Julie found, if she had brought them to the police somehow, would have been enough to take down Strack and anyone else involved, Durant especially. Although, she decided to confront Strack that put a target on her back. Strack made up a story to Juile to keep her from noticing that Durant's been working with him the entire time, and likely had Durant go after her to get the Belisarius Memorandum back. Which is how Westlake ended up being a victim to something that he wasn't aware of because his girlfriend got too close to Strack and Durant. She's an attorney working to figure out what was up with Strack and found what he was planning to do at the expense of unknown groups of people just to make a new city and working with a crime lord to make it happen.
I don't think Liam Neeson nor Francis Mcdormand get enough credit for their performances in this. This is quite possibly the best modernization of a greek-tragedy...
Is it really a modernisation of an actual greek tragedy? If so, which one?
@@ramonparelladamartin4877 i meant the genre more or less. Maybe the minotaur.
@@TheMarvelousM Oh, okay, thanks.
Well Liam Neeson and Frances Mcdormand both won Oscars for best actors, not long after this movie. It took a few films, but they really knew how to CAST this movie! Their raw talent is on display for everyone to see.
The Lost Art of Great Endings. I know it's a little cheesy, but this ending is incredibly atmospheric and symbolic. The shadows, the lighting, the visual transition from night to day - and the spiritual transition of Neeson & McDormand characters' fate from day to night. Both of them will live in darkness & despair. This is really very ingenious - superficially a happy ending, but under the surface not really. Audiences understand things like that subconsciously, and that's why this ending is so haunting. How can you outdo something that cool? Well, Raimi almost did it, with Spiderman 2.
Nothing matches this beside the ending to the dark knight, it has the same atmosphere and very similar narration
Best cameo in a movie, like ever? Yes, yes, it is!
Absolutely
I think it's really sad having to give up your girl like that and the life you once had. Sure he got his revenge, but what then? There's nothing left but his research. Even then, he would've lost any humanity he had left!
+Nine PointO His desire for revenge consumed what little humanity didn't get burned / blasted away by Durant & his goons, making him into a true monster. A solitary, lonely monster.
+أحب قطر He falls more along the lines of Anti-Hero; somebody who does villanous things for a good cause.
"Is Darkman a Good Guy (Protagonist) or Bad Guy (Antagonist)?"
Good or bad, Darkman was the protagonist. A protagonist is someone in a story narrative that has a journey that we follow. The antagonist, Durant, harmed him, but ultimately has no other role in the story except being an obstacle and an objective. We follow Darkman on his quest to get revenge on Durant and everyone else involved in the attack, and though he certainly is an anti-hero like Janeyrevanescence12 said, he's still a protagonist since we're following his journey.
He'd only be the antagonist if we were following Durant or Louis Strack Jr. through the majority of the film. We don't, however, and these evil men that ruined many people's lives serve as the obstacles in Darkman's way to his ultimate goal. It's entirely possible to have villain protagonists and hero antagonists, though this is usually a bit trickier to pull off and isn't done as much as the traditional way.
It wasn't just for revenge. He realized the monster he had become was for the greater good. To be a hero. He didn't completely give up Julie. He realized that being who he was wasn't going to be easily accepted by anyone and noticed Julie wasn't ready for that so instead of causing her more harm than good he decided it was best to let her go and go on his path of becoming a hero.
like Deadpool Spawn or the Ghostrider???
Good movie. Sad Tragedy. He paid the ultimate price to benefit as all by neutralizing some truly demonic people. He was hard on himself for calling himself a monster but a critical review of his actions showed that what he did was only necessary albeit costly.
This is why batman doesn't kill, you can't never rationalize murder murder is a murder
@@jesusmysaviourable1 Maybe, but Batman hasn't always been doing a good job putting villains in their place. Sure murder can't be rationalized, but some people choose to continue to burn the world and burn every attempt at redemption, until the point even the entire world gives up on him or her, after so many deaths. People would find it insane to spare those who refuse to change their dangerous lifestyle, simply because they don't want to give up any sense of control, power, or anything that keeps them from being weak in their minds. When a person is irredeemable in every single way, would someone continue to spare them? Even knowing deep down, they'll likely to continue to spite and cause pain.
@@leon4000 that's true but batman had a hope despite his misgivings not trusting anybody attitude deep down he believed people could change. You might ask if he believed joker could change their is the problem he just can't break his rules for one person for. A regular crime fighter once he crosses the line he knows their is no turning back.
@@jesusmysaviourable1 Joker was already crazed and resolved to make Gotham into a maddening hell than it already is. There's no way Batman would be able to hope for change from Joker, when the clown prince of crime made very clear that he's not going to rehabilitate. And it's not just the Joker. It's a hope that will never be realized with those who just don't want peace, especially if they see such things as a weakness.
That doesn't mean that it will suddenly apply to everyone else. It just means that some people will persist in keeping their chaotic life. To the point that someone else will do the dirty job if people like Batman won't. Because dangerous people will continue to cause a lot of of trouble for personal gain. And innocents will always pay the price of the criminal's actions with their lives. Eventually it comes to a breaking point somewhere depending on the severity of a person's actions.
As for Darkman and Batman. At least Batman had enough positive influence in his life, based on his belief to live up to the name his parents left behind. Peyton Westlake had at least a few positive influence (his wife, his colleague) until Durant destroyed his life, and revenge consumed him, even that part of him scared his loved one, and eventually he decided to walk away. But even after what he did, there's still a part of Westlake that continues to do right mostly, even though his methods are different.
@@leon4000 yes like I said killing is an easy solution once you start it because part of the soul restraint you kept their dies with it. Then it becomes rationizing murder. In case of joker he exists because batman exists he wants batmans attention.
He left Julie in order to protect her. I wonder if she's still looking for him
No he realized that the part of him had already dead in his lab and he cannot have a normal life like he was before
@@88nguyenquangbach91 Very true, especially earlier in the movie at the carnival, how Peyton acted towards Julie, demanding she- " *TAKE THE F-ING ELEPHANT* " -after assaulting that rude stubborn carnie. Who knows if he might've attacked her next if he didn't stop himself?
In a life there is always a moment (or more than one) that creates a "before" and an "after". Darkman is the symbol of this
Darkman is one of the most iconic, overlooked characters in fiction, and one of the best portrayals of an anti-hero scientist character in the history of cinema.
He's not iconic. Overlooked? Maybe. But certainly not an icon.
@@SlasherIncorporated I think he is both iconic and overlooked. Iconic once you notice him, overlooked for the majority who don't notice him.
Darkman: As I regretted leaving her she was still far away from my heart so I decided to begin my journey alone into the vast world of the darkness.
Man, if somebody were to mess my face up like that I swear revenge on them too lol
"Call me..........Ash. Housewares."
Perfect
Shop S-Mart ya got dat! lol
groovy. 😂
"Peyton is gone."
That delivery, that shot alone is deeply yet noticeably nuanced. As Peyton looks back at Julie for one last time before he leaves, he essentially gives her one last look before he vanishes from existence, from public knowledge, and from her. That small strip of light shining on a decaying part of his face symbolizes the completion of his identity's death. Peyton Westlake died in the laboratory explosion. He is but a walking corpse, a shell of the scientist he was who only started walking for vengeance. Now he is only Darkman, a mysterious impersonator and a person who doesn't exist.
And in my personal opinion, it doesn't need to receive a remake. Just the 4k resolution treatment.
By far the best cameo I've ever seen on film!
I wish I could get ahold of the alternate universe version of this film where Bruce plays Darkman, and Liam Neesson managed to snag a cameo as his last face.
When they show darkman running away kills me everytime, it only misses the "woop woop woop" noise 😂
And from this moment at 2:22 I became obsessed with Bruce Campbell...
I am too as well.
hellsville me too. The first time when i look that comicbook face!
Call me...The Bat!
you go, Hank!
THE DARK KNIGHT 🦇
go team venture
No superhero has the balls to do a ending so bittersweet
Out of all the movies characters I relate most to is Darkman. Such great lines.
I agree & same.
I'm remember this scene and fall to Bruce Campbell. He so cute.
So why wasn't Bruce Campbell the star of the sequels, again?
I think the better question is why they went with a British actor
Really, the sequels were already b-movies, why not get the b-movie king to star on them?
The sequels don't exist
Arnold Vosloo wasn't so bad
your kidding right??? Arnold Vosloo made two of them.
The movie was written with Bruce as the lead..the studio said he didn't have enough star power...so...Liam was cast....but Bruce still does a lot of overdubs for Darkman, and appears as him in the final scene...
Bruce Campbell in a Raimi movie: "I am everyone. And no one."
"Peyton is gone. Only Darkman remains."
I feel so bad for Darkman. I hate those bullies who made him like this and ruined his life
He got his revenge 😕
@@pjosepha Yeah, but his life isn't the same after that. He wants to be with his girlfriend, but his search for revenge has changed him.
I remember seeing this movie in both theaters and video, but had yet to explore the other movies of Sam Raimi. Now this end scene is 100x cooler!
For all Sam Raimi fans, here's your two-part answer as to why Bruce Campbell only appears in this final sequence: 1) Every director has their go-to actors who show up in lead and supporting roles for many years (for Sam, it's Bruce: from the Evil Dead trilogy right through his 2002 Spider Man)! 2) Film fans, note the ultimate Easter egg: Campbell is credited as FINAL SHEMP ! Sam Raimi cleverly paid tribute to his comedy idols: The Three Stooges! Larry Drake was Moe, Raimi's brother played Larry, and do I really need to tell you who the bald henchman was supposed to be? 😎
Fun fact, Sam wanted Bruce to play the lead role, but the studio was against it...years later, he wanted Bruce to play Dr Connors in the Spiderman film, and again, the studio was against it...
He then got a job at S-mart and found a dark book that summons demons…
the cinematography in this is amazing
"but a funny thing happened,haha. As I worked on the mask I found the man inside was changing. He became wrong, a monster. I can live with it now, but I don't think anyone else can."
"Call me...The King"
"Baby"
You ever read this comic: Darkman vs. Army of Darkness?
Bruce Campbell looks handsome with that look.
As much as I loved Liam Neeson in this role, it would have been awesome to see Bruce as Darkman (which is what Sam Raimi originally intended).
Dark man was an excellent movie number one box office in 1990
Bruce Campbell at the end is kinda funny.
Darkman disguised as Ash Williams
Darkman is Evil Ash from AoD whose face has started to heal.
This movie is great, but so underrated.
I can imagine Bruce Campbell as Darkman. “See this, Durant.This… is my BOOMSTICK!”
It's top of the line . . .

@@chrisbaca3997 Shop Smart, Shop S-Mart.
@@RobARug YOU GOT THAT!
I always read Darkman's slipping into the Bruce Campbell mask as a reflection of what Peyton said in the elevator on the way down. As many people in the comments have pointed out, Raimi originally wanted Campbell for the role of Darkman, but the studio shot that idea down. Still, Raimi gave him the cameo at the end. If you look at it one way, Campbell's cameo signals Peyton Westlake's final transformation into Darkman. This is what he talks about in the elevator when he says, "I felt the man inside was changing. He became... wrong. A monster." and "Peyton's gone". Liam Neeson's likeness has vanished, and now this new personality embodied by Bruce Campbell has emerged. There's one hint of this a little earlier, when Strack pulls the Durant mask off of him, and we hear him muttering "Julie! Julie!". That's not Liam Neeson; that's Bruce Campbell doing ADR for the character when Neeson was unavailable. Basically, he becomes who he was supposed to be from the beginning. I don't know if that was intentional on Raimi's part (or if I'm simply reading too much into this bonkers superhero flick), but I find it chilling and profound.
In whiche other scenes did Bruce do ADR for darkman?
0:06 When he says "Don't look at me." He sounds like Frank Cotton from "Hellraiser". Help me, Julia... I mean, Julie.
Yeah I really hear it too. The gruesome features certainly add to the similarities.
the end speech he gives is so epic and awesome i think they should do a reboot!
Darkman: I'm everyone - and no one. Everywhere - nowhere. Call me... Darkman.
And Liam Neeson and Bruce Campbell are friends. They need to work together again.
That young Bruce, goddamn he was and is handsome.
"call me... duckman" - George Constanza
when i saw ending of Dr Strange 2 i immediately thought of this
Such a great ending
Bruce Campbell rules, should of been in the sequels..the maybe they'd be watchable.
Legend says she is still there stopping random people in that intersection.
And she lost her license to practice law because of that and ended up living in a van. She now drives across the country stopping random pedestrians to check them.
As good as Neeson is, I do wish they had cast Bruce as Darkman. Damn you, Universal
he calls himself a monster and he isn't he just got revenge on really evil vile people who destroyed his life
What he means is that the Peyton he once was had been corrupted with compromise and acts of vengeance. He'd betrayed everything his former self had been to achieve his goal of revenge. The person that he was now - volatile, aggressive, unstable - was someone that he didn't want Julie around, nor thought she would want to be around. But no, I don't believe "monster" is the right word, either. Tragic figure, yeah, but not a monster.
Artisan1979
It did strike me as a little sudden how quickly he was able to start killing people (Rick). I know they said the treatment would sometimes augment his emotions, but he never showed one ounce of murderous intent before his accident. It's a lot of trauma, but he didn't show any signs of hesitation whatsoever (until the "What have I become?" scene).
@@ShadowSonic2 I'd want to kill the people who fried my friend and robbed me of a normal life too.
After Payton suffered burns, all that remained in the end was ASH
It kills me that he has barely any difficulty speaking, eventhough there are no lips left. Only teeth and even his jaw bone is visible but his speech is almost completely normal. Even his hands...they were electricuded and burned to the bone but yet...fully functional. Yeap!! Neat!!
People without lips can learn to speak remarkably clearly. Run a video search on Zaid Garcia, but be prepared: he's possibly the most hideously disfigured person I've ever seen. He has no lips, and his jaw is kind of melted and frozen open, but he uses his tongue and soft palate to make sounds like "M" and "P." He's very good at it.
Moral Lesson: "Never test a scientist, or scientist will test YOU"
Hmmm
As Batman would say: when you look down into the dark abyss, the abyss looks to you.
Batman was always flying over the abyss, not falling in. But Peyton fell into the dark abyss, that's why he changed his name to Darkman.
There's only one thing to say when you see him... "Groovy!" 😁
Hail to the Darkman, baby!
This film is such a gem. Underrated beyond belief
And Annikin/Vader thought he had it bad.
Lmao. Bruce Campbell makes everything more dramatic and badass XD
Darkman and Nolans Batman are kinda similar in this scene. The Dark Knight vs Darkman just sends shivers down my spine
Darkman’s real superpower is sounding out “b” and “p” words without any lips.
Soulless as he looked at her after she hugged him
When Darkman puts on on that mask, he's handsome!!!
Not getting a nomination for best make up is a huge crime from the academy.
Came from the Venturebros season 7 finale.
yep....watched it last night
Same. I haven't seen this movie in like 20 years so I don't even remember this scene. lol
Godspeed, Dean Venture
It's the Series Finale now
Raimi, expressionistic genius on par with Sternberg, Hitchcock, Welles, Kirby.
Sam Raimi Wanted Bruce Campbell to play darkman but producers didn't think the Audience would take him Seriously it cool to see his cameo also liam Neeson did an awesome job
One of the best superhero films
The very last part where we hear the voice over is great.
Being a kid from the 90s we got great films ,music, actors etc were top teir
Incredible how Liam was willing to go through being terribly burned just to get this role.
Props to the makeup artists
I remember enjoying this movie when I saw it during the early fall of 1990. Was a sophomore in high school, but ironically, what I remember most about seeing this film was Point Break was one of the trailers.
I think he could. He's played a guy who fights possessed corpses, a bounty hunter, a spy during the Napoleonic wars, an alternate version of himself, and Elvis. He's got more variety than people think.
This is when they made movies the right way. The fx makeup done on neeson is just insane way before cgi
Wish they would make a new Darkman movie ignoring 2 and 3 and bring Liam Neeson back.
Liam Neeson was fantastic; this film had such a Batman element to it where Robert G. Durant's protagonist character was sinister as a lighter version of Joker combined with a hardcore nefarious Harvey Twoface, unfortunately Sam Raimi's perspective style of writing was reversed where the consistent entity of ideas were similar to some thoughts taken into consideration from Frank Miller and Kevin Smith, where the hero acted in Batman, but the villains the were corrupt mafia tycoons to suffuse adverse political propaganda of destruction; it's always been that way time after time in comic book genre since Superman 1938's cereal comics. And 15 years later he plays Ra Za Ghul in Batman Begins.
