Believe it or not, even if you used trained horses to depict horses getting shot, you'd get complaints from the Animal rights people. They have no issues with seeing humans depicted as being shot, but never imply that an animal has been harmed (even though they haven't). I've seen hate mail sent to movies that used dummy animatronic horses as dead animals on the battlefield. That's how crazy some of those folks can be.
whitealroker They have no issues with humans being shot because first, it's fake & secondly, ppl can speak for themselves. Horses & other animals can not. And the humane society wouldn't be on these sets if there weren't some history of animal cruelty at some point on various productions. But, nowadays, the majority of movie sets treat them right. Anyway, are there a few crazy animal rights ppl out there? Probably. But most of us are not.

I thought it was kinda like Texan versus actual southerner like Louisiana or Alabama, but I hope someone who knows will let me know :D
When I first saw the Timecop trailer, it was this moment in the trailer that sold me. Once I saw a guy in the 1800's blasting away with futuristic machine guns, I immediately knew I had to see the movie.
@hwahid8 - As many times as I slow moded this with one hand inside his coat and one out..he must had practiced that scene a lot to grab and fire.The SPCA must had been tickled no horses got lead poisoning..oh,that's right they wasn't founded yet..LOL..
Man, that's shootin'! He fires two automatic weapons at 5 guys on horses, and hits all the dudes but doesn't put a single round in any of the horses. 😁
There's actually a really under-appreciated FPS game called "Darkest of Days" from around 2008. You time travel to various periods of history, and one level you're fighting the American Civil War with modern day rifles and machine guns against waves of confederate troops. Always think of it when I see this clip.
Was fucking stupid....wields dual automatic weapons and unloads both clips not one round of which hits a horse....almost as stupid as old 10 shot revolver scenes.
@Geoff Shaw - Oh.. o.k. ..I bet it would had made a good sci-fi movie.Thank you for proposing the book..the third installment on the Time Cop series was so so,the first movie was the best of three..
Technically it is not a new idea. Read it in countless TIME TRAVEL series by English, American and German authors. Still it is a good one ! Even the worst done episodes had a well worked out scenario and background Fun Fact: it is almost hard to grap that this film was seen once as so Family Friendly they even had brought it just slightly cut on airplanes. So seen myself on a LTU flieght San FRANSISCO - MUNICH in Germany over thirty years ago - time flies.
I love this scene. To be more realistic, there should have been more guards and have them looking in the trees for ambushers. No way they could have thought this guy was alone.
I remember that scene and when this movie first came out. It was one of the coolest movies of its kind at the time. That scene was very cool. I'm actually surprised this movie hasn't been redone.
@@TheRealBatCave yep. Came out and wasn't very popular so it was cancelled after the first season and less than 10 episodes total but it did have a show based on the movie. Different actors though en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timecop_(TV_series)
They are soldiers, not murderers. Few people are willing to just shoot another human being. They are likely to say threatening words, however, they are unlikely to begin killing with no evident threat. The bandit appears to be a bit mentally addled. They did glance around, but it seemed that it was not an ambush, just one loon standing in the road. I believe if the Confederate Sergeant had fired, it would have been a warning shot at the "crazy guy's" feet.
Alternative opening.."I'm not here for the Gold as you can plainly see,I'm here for the shipment of Meth your taking to General Lee"lol.."Would you please give me the Meth"..lol..
Yep. Also, there would have been a lot more than 5 Confederate soldiers transporting gold. Probably wouldn't matter anyway facing 2 futuristic weapons lol.
No, no, no,...the missing tooth was necessary to infiltrate into the Confederate deep South. Shit, if dude started talking with a full set of teeth, he would've immediately gotten his ass shot off for being a spy. An adult with 32 teeth is still a rarity down here, in 1863 it would've been like seeing Bigfoot.
@@veryevilnip Yeah, I was just making a joke at my own geographical area's expense. Hell, for that matter, my own expense, as I only have two of my own teeth left. Of course, unlike most around here, my condition is due to brittle bone disease and not meth.
Once I saw a guy in the 1800's blasting away with futuristic machine guns, I immediately knew that this movie must have something to do with time travel.
I really like this movie, the twists and turns it takes - - shows how changing one little thing in the past, really alters the future. It’s my favorite Van Damme film (as well as an over all favorite). ❣️
I've never forgotten this scene since I first saw it when I was a kid. I would sometimes forget the movie, which annoyed me but I never forgot this scene.
@Geoff Shaw Yeah that always bothered me too... almost like they filmed this whole scene as an afterthought or something. I would have loved to see the creepy tooth guy get his comeuppance. :/
It’s been almost 30 years since this film came out. A remake with the right director and cast could pull off something great. The concept sells itself as it stands.
@@zxKAOS1 Risky or not, that’s not our problem as members of the audience. It’s actually not risky if the film is good. Word of mouth spreads reputation faster than ever before. Viral marketing guarantees that if a film is good, everybody knows about it instantaneously. Nobody saw John Wick 1, at first, until people started talking about it. The same actually happened with the first Taken movie. There are talented writers and performers out there but most of them get the door slammed in their face if they don’t pander to the fringe minority known as the woke mob. I’ve never understood why studios and corporations are so accommodating to these lunatics but it’s already ruined every big movie franchise. Have they created anything new and unique? No. Johnny Depp talked about this recently and said everyone in Hollywood WANTS to be themselves but can’t 🤷🏻♂️. They’ve gotta all pretend (as actors do) that they’re activists and allies of the increasingly deranged alphabet cluster folk just to keep getting offered roles. The people in charge at movie studios somehow think that’s what modern audiences want: to be lectured to instead of just be entertained. There are some exceptions, such as “The Menu” which I saw last night and loved. It’s saying things about modern culture without lecturing or vilifying or boring us.
@@one7decimal2eight How else can they grab the attention of casual passers by than by using a recognisable brand that makes people go “Durr yeah, I remember that. I know what that is. That’s comforting to me” ? Everybody’s watching streaming services, twatting about on TikTok, or watching clips on UA-cam. The entertainment landscape is so vast and niche now that it’s very difficult to get audiences out of their homes and into a cinema, and that was BEFORE the pandemic. Meanwhile there are lots of great new ideas getting shit-canned, particularly if they’re not “woke” enough (but that’s another rant). The only new films that get greenlit tend to be lower budget films, and that’s fine with me. That and the giant films that are now exclusively remakes and sequels. The $500m+ films like the Flash do not interest me because they’re not art. It’s just commercial diarrhoea. Quips and catchphrases and memes designed to appeal to “the kids” and then the SFX guys takeover the movie until the explosions are done. Rinse and repeat. It’s just kind numbing and depressing. There’s still a mouth breathing audience for that sort of thing though. Just read the comments on the trailers and you’ll see what I mean. It’s all “I got chills” and “literally shaking” over and over and over, talking about their wants and needs. They’re like NPCs stuck in a perpetual dialogue loop, without any capability of insight or individuality. Makes me sad
@@BollinJ82 - They did..Timecop2..watching it now..wished they had a Timecop3..The tv series was not all that but I still watched that too only lasted one season
Given everything they saw, the soldiers should have suspected an ambush. The guy was clearly not crazy and it should be obvious there were more outlaws in woods.
They should have been ready for an ambush, yes, but he was NOT "clearly not crazy". His actions, up until the futuristic gun reveal, DID seem crazy and it is only obvious he was not crazy AFTER he pulled out his guns and killed them, at which time it was too late and you're hind sighting. If you're the soldiers and you see a single guy expecting you to give him a truck load of gold, you would most likely think he's crazy. The average person in that situation (or any person, realistically) would not have super futuristic machine pistols and would be easily killed by 5v1.
By 1863 standards yes he would have seemed crazy 1 guy in the road demanding gold vs 5 soilders all armed with repeating pistols yes to them he would have seemed like a madman. They had no idea what laser sighted submachine guns were and were totally oblivious to that type of technology would have been totally alien to them.
quality of this opening is head above the rest of the film. few other scenes in the film matching it. rest is fairly mediocre. that's the problem with Timecop - it's inconsistent.
I didn’t think the rest of the film was that bad. Especially the scenes where Max goes back to Wall Street to stop his former partner, the politicians discussing the dangers of Time Travel & the fight with the henchmen in his apartment.
I haven't seen this movie in a long time. I was wondering why he stood there for as long as he did lol . At first I thought he had help, then out come the guns! This was a wonderful movie. Thanks for the up load.
There is a fictional novel by Harry Turtledove i read many years ago called "Guns of the South" that presents a scenario of time-travelling South Africans who bring AK-47'S to Robert E Lee. A decent read.
An interesting alternative: After taking the gold, the "Friend of the Confederacy" gets ambushed by a guy from the even further future. Or the soldiers turn out to have even better weapons because they are (likewise) from the further future and got to the shipment first.
@@killertaco8themaster773 It would be the other way around in that alternative universe. The native indians would be wealthy, and white settlers would be struggling economically.
This was the best scene in the entire movie. Why couldn't they expand on this idea? Like send them to very critical times in history and stop or start wars or catastrophys.
That was insane, indeed! From the future, Confed soldiers had no idea too. Pretty much 1 side war. Once upon a time, a group of knights came upon the farmers armed with rifles/pistols. That changed the course of war when science took over war than black-smiths. Europe that is. The oldest battlegrounds of all. This also reminds me of "KRULL," classic movie! :)
This is one of the best opening scenes for a Van Damme film, it still holds up today and is a fantastic way to start the movie
I couldn't agree with you more
@@Enigmahoodie It is right up there with the opening to Blade.
it was such a cool opening
Off course...
So direct...sharp..& epic
it's one of the greatest openings period.
I never cared much for this movie, but this scene was well thought out. Photography, lighting and color was done right. And casting not half bad either.
It feels like it's a scene from a different better movie about future tech being leaked into the past, instead of a dumb JCVD action flick.
I wish the rest of the film lived up to it.
It's actually one of his best movies.
When the best scene in the movie doesn’t have the star in it you know it is bad ass scene
The best scene is seeing a sexy Mia Sara. Always loved her when i was younger. This one is a close second though.
Those are some lucky horses
Believe it or not, even if you used trained horses to depict horses getting shot, you'd get complaints from the Animal rights people. They have no issues with seeing humans depicted as being shot, but never imply that an animal has been harmed (even though they haven't).

quality of this opening is head above the rest of the film. few other scenes in the film matching it. rest is fairly mediocre.
that's the problem with Timecop - it's inconsistent.
i think the scene where the guy reveals the existence of time travel to the senator is a great scene
I didn’t think the rest of the film was that bad. Especially the scenes where Max goes back to Wall Street to stop his former partner, the politicians discussing the dangers of Time Travel & the fight with the henchmen in his apartment.
As is time
Its 1994. For some reason between 1990 and 1994, the quality of movies (save for a few exceptions) weren't that great.
@@millsyinnz only b movies
I loved this opening. My favorite one ever!!
This scene I never forget 👍👍
This intro was tough.
The 1st time he said he wanted the gold, if I had been one of the solders I would have dropped him then. They waited to long to make their move.
I am kinda feeling the Darkest Of Days vibe here
I haven't seen this movie in a long time. I was wondering why he stood there for as long as he did lol . At first I thought he had help, then out come the guns! This was a wonderful movie. Thanks for the up load.
Best scene in the movie......totally unexpected
Nah, pretty much a lot of us expected that
There is a fictional novel by Harry Turtledove i read many years ago called "Guns of the South" that presents a scenario of time-travelling South Africans who bring AK-47'S to Robert E Lee. A decent read.
I gotta read that General Grant.
Yeah good story, he has other good books out, him SM Stirling, John Ringo, Tom Kratman etc
how much shorter that war woulda been if they'd had AKs?!
@@johnerwin9024 Depends on how many AKs, how much ammo and how well they maintain them.
I actually read the entire book call, why the movie studios never made it into a movie is beyond me.
Goes full auto. Doesn't hurt any of the horses. What a Chad.
Best scene of the movie
The best part of the film, from here it just ran down hill FAST !
So true, although my wife loved the parts where you can see his naked butt 😁
I am gona ask you one more time will you please give me the gold....
I've lived in Gainesville Georgia my whole life. Nice to see my town in a movie.
love how he just sprays those guns but doesn’t hit a horse
This movie was pretty decent but this opening scene was just cool!
An interesting alternative:
After taking the gold, the "Friend of the Confederacy" gets ambushed by a guy from the even further future. Or the soldiers turn out to have even better weapons because they are (likewise) from the further future and got to the shipment first.
Or ... "Would you please give me the Bitcoin?"
@@HandleGF - Or ..... General Lee finally gets his shipment and it is filled with Bitcoin.
@@HandleGF LOL
I had forgotten about this movie. Need to watch it again.
"Little did they know he had a plasma rifle(well, 2 actually), in the 40 watt range!"
All them bullets fired and none of the horses were injured. That's amazing.
its a movie bro.
sarcastic "tongue in cheek" comment. Not really serious.
Would love to see the native Indians be given guns like this. No more white supremacy in the US.
They'd be too busy huffing paint and drinking that fire water probably🤣🤣
@@killertaco8themaster773 It would be the other way around in that alternative universe. The native indians would be wealthy, and white settlers would be struggling economically.
In the hood we the run doc's best quotes and votes we dont need!
imagine seeing that in 1863
Larken Rose brought me here.
This was the best scene in the entire movie. Why couldn't they expand on this idea? Like send them to very critical times in history and stop or start wars or catastrophys.
Yeah the writing was so mediocre.
saw this movie twice in the theater when it came out. great for what it is if you don't expect too much. love the 300ZX in the mall. oh the 90s!
.. one of my favorite movie moments in the history of the movies 🎃.. ❤️❤️❤️..
He wanted a gold tooth 🙃
Would you please give me the gold?
horses were invincible , not a single one killed ..
He asked so nice and politely.
Pero ese territorio todavía era de México antes de que los gringos se lo robaran
Georgia never belonged to Mexico and Mexico lost the Mexican American War.
Uh, sure that would have happened. Oh by the way the term y'all is never used to address a single person.
Any Southerner knows this.
That was insane, indeed! From the future, Confed soldiers had no idea too. Pretty much 1 side war. Once upon a time, a group of knights came upon the farmers armed with rifles/pistols. That changed the course of war when science took over war than black-smiths. Europe that is. The oldest battlegrounds of all. This also reminds me of "KRULL," classic movie! :)
Plot twist: The horses with the gold also got spooked and ran off, leaving him with nothing.
