Denzel Washington returns to one of his signature roles in the first sequel of his career. Robert McCall serves an unflinching justice for the exploited and oppressed - but how far will he go when that is someone he loves?

Everyone is a gangsta until McCall starts his timer.
Everybody is a gangster untill the walls start singing 😅
Denzel speaks better turkish than the hitmen.
they are not Turkish murderers at all! can't even speak Turkish clearly
I think the bartender must be the hitman, he is the he only Turk in this video.
@@ebu9279 most likely. After seeing Danzel wasting those guys he probably said "nope, I am out".
@@arbozaliyan I would do that too 😅.
one of them is Andrej orloski former ufc heavyweight champ
1) It is unfair to expect the actors to adopt turkish accent perfectly. They did well. (Bartender should be Turkish)
2) We never play domino. Next time, try something like Backgammon.
3) Never drink Turkish Rakı as shots. It is actually a spirit with 40%-65% volume. You will probably black out instantly haha.
4) Rest was awesome. Denzel is just being Denzel :)
Güzel tespitler
what is awesome? showing turkish man as bad people? innnocent american women etc.. typical american bs
its a fucking movie, man, its not real life ... imbecile !
tren penceresinde beyaz ayyıldız
Onur kardeşim bu bitmediniz tayfa olarak. Adam bu film yapmış. Yok telaffuz kötüydü, yok lehçesi vardı. Vay amk.
If I ever saw Denzel Washington look at his watch, I would make sure I'm not between him and someone he needs to equalize.
I cant wait to see Equalizer 3.
Hahaha, yeah I'd be outta there before he locks the door three times...like the song but not knocking 😅
Naaaa sack up and ask him....."Do you want to go home or go to jail"????
I pretend I'm Robert McCall when I set the bezel on my watch for any reason.
Mumbling the time measurement to myself.
"5 minutes"
Yeah but if i am the baba yaga, i will be happy to accept his challenge.. 👊
1. Skewed flag on windows.
2. The "Turkish" dudes don't sound Turkish speaking either language (apart from the bartender).
3. The game they're playing on the table is not a Turkish thing.
4. The drink they're having is never served as shots.
Not saying every cultural nuance has to be perfect but for a movie of this budget, they could have at least Google'd some info.
holivud fiction
the actor who plays the gangster is a turkish canadian. i think he speaks turkish
Vagondaki kadınla çocuk Türk'ten çok İran vatandaşına benziyor. Evet camlardaki bayraklar çapraz duruyor Pakistan bayrağını mı kullanmak istediler artık neyse. Türkiye'de trenlerde alkol satışı yok. Türkçe bilip konuşan tek kişi orda olmaması gereken barmen, kötü adamın Türkçe söyledikleri anlaşılmıyor. Türkler sırayla saldırmaz teke tekte bile olsa sarılıp yere yatırır düşmanının işini yerde bitirir. Denzel sonunda "bugün sen seçeceksin" gibi bir şey zırvaladı galiba. Felaket.
They are playing dominoes, everyone plays that everywhere,
Why is there also the "need" to show older/broken trains? Lights flickering? I mean really?
Brilliant scene. The way the boss sits back nervously after his men have been done. Quality.
One thing I never noticed til now was the subtle rejection of the shot of alcohol being rejected by Denzel and then him placing the teapot in between him and the guy as a way of declining a future offer
He pretended to be a Muslim priest or something. So it makes sense he declined it.
No,its a play on Life.
@@ThiHaGadgets exactly
In all 3 of the movies, he's very particular (OCD, really) about his napkin set up for his tea. The shot glass was in his way of setting this up. I didn't think he was so subtle. He pauses with an annoyed look as soon as he sets the shot glass down. 😂
"Bugün, sen seçeceksin." - Denzel (Today, you will choose)
Thank you SO much! I wondered what he was saying!
What did the other guys say?
The other guys spoke Turkish so badly that even the Turks couldn't fully understand what other guys were saying. 😂 @@huntstyle
@@serefsiz75 well damn, I guess we'll never know what they were supposed to be saying then, lol
@@serefsiz75 LOL
It is not possible for a Turkish man to watch this scene without cringing
The vodka, the terrible pronunciation, the complete lack of societal norms, it's a bit much.
What was cringe? That they drink?
The drink is raki, btw.
@@AlikTheChosenOne Ah, good to know. I know of raki, but have never had it. As I understand it is the Turkish equivalent of brandy. I've been to Turkey several times for business, but have never had the opportunity. Thanks.
Hollywood is good with fiction.
In these movies they get top class character actors to play the bad guys... this actor played his role superbly... all kinds of little touches that make it real
The body language at the end was very telling.
The movie director paid attention to little details of the movie.
Heres something you may find interesting. :)
The name of my country has nothing to do with the interesting and delicious bird ''turkey''.
Name of my country has always been Turkiye, that is Turk-iye, where the -iye suffix means ''land of/belonging to''...
...just like the Latin suffix -ia in such countries as Latv-ia, Roman-ia, Eston-ia, Austr-ia, Austral-ia etc etc. Another example; decades ago Czechoslovakia Republic changed it's name to Czech Republic and a few years ago changed that to Czechia (that is Czech-ia).
Anyways, most likely the Latin -ia suffix was derived from the Turkish version -iye,
as Turkish is much much older.
Because in old times people of different languages could only pronounce it as their languages allowed them, we got various differences in spelling like Turchia (in Italian), Turquie (in French) and Turkey (in English) all trying to resemble the pronounciation of ''Turk-ia'' thus Turkiye.
Mind you this was way BEFORE the animal we currently know as 'turkey'' was found by the europeans when they explored the north americas....
...they came across the bird and thought it was a specie of the fowl/chicken they had been buying from the country of Turkiye at the time, so they named the bird ''Turkey Fowl'' meaning ''Turkish Chicken''.....
....just like how a dog breed is known as German Shepherd (because it's from Germany), Rhodesian Ridgeback (because it's from Rhodesia), American Bulldog, British Terrier, Greek Harehound etc etc.
In time you don't get to call the Greek Harehound as simply as ''Greek''; or you don't call the British Terrier as ''British''; or the German Shepherd as ''German'', but in time the Turkish Fowl started to be called just ''turkey'', and has been going on for hundreds of years.
Now in 2023, this is causing confusion, especially when we have people across the world unable to point to their OWN country on the atlas, this ''confusion over the naming'' needed to be corrected.
So my country decided to rectify this confusion that has been going on for so long and corrected the name in other languages to Türkiye, which it always was, we basically didn't change the name of our country, we changed the mistake made in the English language. : )
So, there's some tid bit information for you to have a great day, if you read upto this point you have a great night too, ohh just have a wonderfull life. : )
Best wishes. ;)
@@KenanTurkiye what the fuck is a (copy pasted) ü ????? This is english, not turkish. Including that german-ass looking u removes any chance of english speakers writing it out, and instead we will likely use what we can write, Turkey. Or turkiy? Which we pronounce as turkey, so.....
@@KenanTurkiye very interesting indeed - great insight.
Denzel makes me feel like becoming an actor..he is so good
You should be a comedian instead.
Let me guess he’s gonna be a comedian and you’re gonna be the joke
Hey, all the best!
I've been inspired to play music before, and it turned out I am a musician. Perhaps this is something you should explore?
The only person speaking proper Turkish in this scene is the bartender 😂
and your point?
There are two kinds of pain in this world. The pain that hurts, and the pain that alters.
Bugün sen seçeceksin
@@uzunsaclkeladam7824 today you will choose
And then there's that pain when someone has you by the short hairs.
People who suffer PTSD KNOW pain that alters.
And then there's the pain of being married and thus henpecked.
When he says re-consider. You must.
Only people with a conscience re-consider , therefore they don’t become big time crims .
imagine if wick and denzel teamed up. they'd be unstoppable.
Wick is from the dark side. Someone from the underworld would pay him to get rid of the Equalizer. Denzel would get a tip and meet Wick on a train. Then Steven Seagal would come and rescue everyone
Ethan Hunt of Mission Impossible, anyone?
Imagine if they're both after the same person. Wick needing the target for his ticket back into the family, McCall avenging the death of someone he cared deeply for.
Okay, I got it, I got it... John Wick and The Equalizer are both hired independently by shady characters to retrieve an item of great cost.
Steven Seagal is along as an advisor (and comic relief) for Ethan Hunt who is pursuing the same item for the US Government.
In the end, the item is the puzzle box from Hellraiser, and at the conclusion, Pinhead arrives.
"Gentlemen, welcome. Your journey is one of desire, but the desire was not yours."
Then the shadowy hirer of Wick and Equalizer ( who should be Gary Oldman for no particular reason except that he's great ) was the guy who double-crossed Hunt and Seagal's character, and is working for a spooky underground cult, then gets dragged to hell after an epic battle featuring the mains slaughtering faceless henchmen. Batman can be in there somewhere, too. Also, throw in Samuel L. Jackson just because.
@@illuminatus3125 Bro what the hell is this??

Once that stopwatch starts it's game over. Looking forward to the new film.
i like how it is very polite in the beginning and turns pure violent in the end
I don’t normally watch these types of movies. But, as I was channel surfing, this one popped up, and I loved it.
oh i like this word from Mr. Mccall in all most all movies "God is my witnesses/ God knows".. everytime when he say this word i feel like "hell yeah! now it's showtime.."
Bless the real equalizers in this hellish life as they stand in the gap for so many ppl who are lost to their justice system.
These men and women do exist in a non Hollywood way that is vital for the ppl.
Onların ismi Türk , mesleğì Asker , Görevi Adaleti sağlamak için Can alıb Can vermektir.

there are none and If there were they'd be in gaol as we tend to let the scumbags run free...whilst punishing those who are good
@@mottthehoople693 they do exist obviously not to the same extent/Hollywood but they do.
Especially for homeless ppl there essentially guard angels that saves lives and protect the vulnerable.
@@kitsunelee007 Im very glad thats the case
I love this film waiting for number 3, however in reality when he Washington walked towards the leader he would have just shot him, because a man like him would be armed, where he (Washington) was not, well that's what I would have done especially seeing what he just did to the other 3.
The bartender had the best Turkish in this scene.
Çünkü Türk.
the bad guys' turkish is awful but the waiter has flawless turkish and with no accent. I guess he is the only turkish on the train :D
Ah just another reminder that Mr. Denzel was, is and will always be the best actor EVER - genius in every role!!!!!!!!!!
Damn!!
Dat cold Denzel!
I loved the T.B Show in the 80's And now I really love all 3 movies! REAL TALK FOR LIFE! 42 yr old who loves jb
Great man ! Incredible! Best of the best! I deeply respect this great man !
Reminds me of Liam Neeson's scene when he was looking for Marco in Taken 1😄
Marco from Tropoia...his good luck just got real bad 👎
Denzel Equalizer movies are one of best movies
There are two kinds of Pain in the world,Pain that hurts ,pain that alters.
Without a doubt the best actor this century ❤
yes and this is not an opinion. it's a fact.
without a doubt the worst movie he acted in.
We have still about 75 years to go in this century. So better to speak of the by you preferred best actor during your lifetime then already to decide for the next 75 years. I admire your choice, but there will be better ones who still needs to be born before this century is over.
@@keessonneveld2314 dude Denzel is from 20th century.
Daniel Day Lewis has entered the chat.
There are two kinds of watches in the world- ones that are right, and ones like Denzel’s that never come out to the number of seconds he thought it would.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I like it!
Lol that's because he's getting older and slowing down some. He's still counting the time it would've taken him as a younger man and comparing it to the time it takes him now. 😂
@@kendrickhudson218 Hadn't given it that much thought, but very possible. He's been doing it a long time.
He started it early, and stopped it late in this scene!
In denzel we trust
its denzel or bust
The moment I see Denzel arranging the small objects around him, I'm out 😅
As a Turkish, 400 km away from Istanbul doesn't look different than Berlin city centre so no needed to add middle eastern characters in the train but good acting. The drink they had is RAKI that has 45 vol alcohol. Way stronger than any other kind of normal alcoholic drinks.
I love Turkish firearms the look spectacular and function phenomenally for me.
@@seanbrown2804 What you got?
@@SitiAisyah-et9uw Thanks to Erdoğan. (!) Politic Islam even cannot tolerate drinking cold beer while watching beautiful sceneries of Turkey. It was not like this 10 years ago. We missing our more secular times.
@@SitiAisyah-et9uw Oh yeah? Check relevant news about alcohol ban in TCDD menus written 6 years ago.
@@SitiAisyah-et9uw Just Google this. “TCDD Alkollü içecekler”. Alcoholic beverages can be consumed by passengers in TCDD trains in the past. It’s forbidden in high speed trains 6 years ago. Your experiences doesn’t reflect anything official. On the other hand, I agree with you about your movie criticism.
Anticipation of death is worse than death itself.😮
How could I live without that watch?😮
WOW. that is so awesome. You just have to be meaner than the evil ones.
Denzel plays here DR.ZAKIR NAIK❤💪🏽😂😂😂😂

Ha ha
What a prologue. I like these movies.
Absolutely brilliant....(!!!)
Denzel aka Othello the Turkish Moor
An abusive man, so not a REAL man
great line. Made me think about women who falsely claim abuse: it's the ,most emasculating thing they can say about you.
They brought that shit on themselves.
löl from Turkiye
Yes they did
There are two kinds of pain in this world..............
I absolutely loved the scene. so cool yet tough guy
Fantastic.
I am from Turkey and except for the bartender I did not understand a single word what the others say. To be honest, Denzel's Turkish is FAR superior to hitmen rofl😆
Did anyone notice that Andrei Arlovski was playing one of the Turkish mobsters, in this scene? All of the Equalizer films have an astounding cast!
Who?
@seeharvester - MMA fighter, Andrei "The Pitbull" Arlovski. Former UFC heavyweight champion.
I noticed his tap nose and immediately recognised him
Denzel Washington really knows how to enjoy his tea or coffee in every movie. Makes me wanna sit on a table and enjoy it that way.
when that stopwatch starts....
he aint timing no eggs....
This only happens in movies. In real life, the opposite happens.
Ok
Yeah we are seeing it in middle East 🤣🤣
@@TheSudhanshu1982If you were in the Middle East, you would piss your pants with fear. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 People in the Middle East are bravely fighting.

Hello from Turkiye (previously known as Turkey). ; )
This performance has many exaggerated acts, but is beautiful and exciting.
Denzel is purely amazing
What is a Turkish train doing in Switzerland?
and im turkish asking that same question 😂
:) holivud fiction
Trying to imagine the moment that that woman (the mommy) said to herself that that man (the daddy) was the criminal mastermind for her. I guess I should stick to solving real problems.
he is amazing
Denzel Washington sir , one of the best actors in the world
I sure wish we could have seen which pain he choose! LOL! Also, I never saw before until now that he used the eye glass arm to kill the 1st guy. Man, that went really fast. Just great!
Cuando el malo se remueve en el sillón cuando se acerca Denzel....miedo, respeto y acojone. Grandes detalles.Actuación 10.
Vay vay vay Robert Bey! 🔥

He basically killed the girls father, and no way he’d beat UFC heavy weight champion Andrei Arlovski!

Raki shots? LOL WHAT. Nobody drinks Raki like that.
I do
@@lacosa24x well good for you, but Raki is a traditional Turkish drink and in no way ever been drank like that.
Muito bom.
Super scena toate filmele cu Danzel Washington sunt remarcabile prin interpretarea sa memorabile
As a Turk, I did not understand anything except English words.
😆🙌
I hope you are not young also 😂
Only one issue with this film clip, and i do love it. Has anyone anyone notice the moon moving as the train flys buy. A little fast, so obviously SGI. Another continuity mistake. I am a sad man i know but i always notice these things. I remember watching Vikings the series and there was a lovely shot of a viking fjord with their boat rerurning home. And in the far distantance you can see a helicopter 😂. There are many epic films that have made these mistakes. Like Gladiator and after the first battle in Germany he goes to grab his sword, stuck in a tree. Then it cuts to some infantry and there's a couple of guys moving out of shot wearing jeans. Equaliser is epic and Denzil is one of my favourite actors. He has an amazing stride. My favourite film he's in is Man On Fire.
You have to much time on your hands buddy, it's actually a movie
Good observations! Train too fast, 0:35 way too fast over the bridge.
the mistake is not continuity related. Not story-wise.
You all are right. My family on one side are involved in film making so I guess maybe I look for mistakes, and it does always ruin it for me when I notice something wrong. The continuity bit comes from the people tasked with making sure there's no digital wrist watch in a Western. Things that should not be seen. I had nothing to do with the speed of the train but the movement of the moon. I have a very sad condition where I'll watch a film and an watch it again and again and again. Still enjoying and noticing little things every time. Still a great film and no I don't have enough time on my hands I'm just a weirdo. But thanks for your comments. By the way, I do work full time but it's ' Flexi' time. Start anytime up until 10am and I just gotta do my hours. I like starting and finishing early, then I go home, practice music on the guitar. After the practice I play my own music. Then I've gotten into learning Saolin stick swinging. Very relaxing for me. Then another two hours guitar playing, dinner and a film. You are right in your comment " it's really continuity " but I was referring to the person or persons in charge of checking mistakes. Because there are weirdos like me that'll notice. I love films and in some cases have watched a film in excess of 50 times, and still enjoyed it. We all have our quirks, this is mine. And I stand up and admit it " Hello my name is Ju and I'm a film freak !" and it really annoys my wife when I'll say the lines spoken while watching a film.
I'm sure there's a club of sad people like me that I should join. Mind you, thinking about it. A favourite band you may see many times and in most cases their music is played slightly differently every show! Ahhh, I'm rambling, ' Cut ' it's a rap.
Not seem Equaliser 3 yet and can't wait. I did watch a little of the current seasons of the newest Equaliser TV show. I didn't think it was terrible. I used to watch Edward Woodward back in the day. This TV version has a woman Equaliser and she's not bad at all. OK OK OK I'm stopping lol....
Best of luck.
Stay safe and well.

I agree

5:34 bugün sen seçeceksin (today, you will choose)
The awestruct, convincing CGI of the opening train scene 😭 ...
this is so painful to watch as a turkish. the accent is completely and utterly wrong, absolutely no one drinks raki with a shot glass (the geniuses at the production must have confused turkish raki with the greek one), they play a game I have never seen in my life and, the cherry on the top, that arabic chocolate brand on the bar... at this point I am glad they don't cross imaginary turkish desserts on non-existent turkish camels in these movies.
THIS exactly. Also the flag is skewed for some reason, looks more like the flag of Pakistan lol
@@zortingen3169 indeed lol. credit where credit is due though. I'm happy that they did not miss the very important detail of the icon of virgin mary at 2:00 (behind the bar). which is, as everyone knows, a staple of every turkish railcar.

Um otimo filme recomendo muito
Two situations from which u should run away like hell
1st Denzel looking at his watch
2nd John Wearing all black suit.
We Turks speak the Turkish language in Turkey.
A few passengers on the train and the bartender speak Turkish, yes we can understand that we are on a train whose departure or destination location is somewhere in Turkey.
But everyone at the table where the destroyed man sits speaks one of the Southeastern Europe languages (probably Serbian).
And, we can easily understand that the destroyed man is not Turkish from the bad Turkish accent he used while talking to the bartender
You (Whoever put that name on this video) are a good example of the type of person who is ignorant but has high self-confidence.
On top of all that, we love Denzel.
Birader iki dakikalık sahneye oturup yarım saat assey mi yazdın yav insaf

-and you can never see a turk drinking raki with a shot glass
I used to watch the eqaulizer when I was very young it was Edward Woodward it was never this good.
There are two kinds of pain in this world , pain it hurts, pain it alters
I do not know why they portrait Turkish people like that. Maybe it because Turker is close to middle east but believe me Turkish people do not look like that.
In real life they are definitely more ugly indeed.
rakıyı shot içiyorlar, okey taşıyla domino oynuyorlar, bayrak pakistan bayrağı, adamın türkçe de bizim suriyeli işçilerden kötü amk

No, Denzel did not destroy them. The character he was playing in that movie did. It was in the script. It's called acting. And he is damn good at it.
Duh! Why are some of you insecure people on the comments not able to use CONTEXT to recognize that obviously its about the movie? Just stop.

Yep! He just hurt him real bad I imagine.
Denzel is Great! And, a Great American! Heard he's in the new Gladiator movie. And that he's 68 years old. Heard it last week on radio. Well Done, Denzel. 57 year old white guy here. Too bad I have to throw that in for the woke crowd. And, I heard it on The Glenn Beck Show. And he is a big fan. Another dagger. I like The Equalizer movies better than The John Wick movies. And I really like those.
Much love sir white guy black male here 35 lol. Yea the wick films became action porn whereas Equalizer remained grounded in story over action sequences.
Denzil is a brilliant actor, one of my all time favourite
