Originally posted in March 2013, this was a crossover filmed at MAGfest that year, and is the second of two crossovers (to date) with Rap Critic; the first being Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son. As you've likely noticed from the running time, this has been extensively re-edited, and runs 2m 11s shorter than the original. I discovered, to my delight, that I still had the source files for this review, so I was able to completely remaster it using the original edit file. This re-post is obviously meant to tie in with Den of Thieves, the similarly themed film with 50 Cent opening in cinemas. Here are the changes: - In HD for the very first time! - Movie footage has been remastered with anamorphic encoding and upscaled into HD. This remaster revealed the old file had dropped frames throughout, meaning the edits were all thrown out, so I had to recut all the clips to fix the errors this created, from top to bottom. - My narration throughout the entire episode has been completely re-voiced. This was during my "angry" phase where I over-exaggerated everything, so I had to throw it all out and start again. Hopefully it's a much easier listen. This turned out to be slightly harder when it turns out my original script had not been corrected for errors I fixed when I first made the episode, so then I had to go back and do those lines yet again! - The usual edits to reduce the amount of movie footage used. Rap Critic is probably one of the funniest people I know, and I think he's brilliant in this crossover, and I am happier with this episode now. Hope you enjoy it, it took a fair few days work to get it into this state.
This kind of opening is how I wish more crossover reviews back then began, with the people involved actively _collaborating_ and having fun with the idea of the project.
Agreed. Nearly all of them opening with the reviewers acting like they had a feud going on and sniping at each other wore thin really quickly so this is a nice change.
Wait, I remember this! I've actually seen this one! I've seen it because my stepdad has THE worst taste in movies. He's the kind of guy who keeps Michael Bay employed. Yet I'm the weirdo because I don't have an issue with subtitles.
0:24-0:26: I know one rapper with Ice in their name that sucked at acting. His name is Vanilla Ice. 1:33-1:35: THAT'S RAP CRITIC'S REAL NAME!? Daren Jackson. 😲 14:18-14:21: "As it stands, its just....WHAT THE FUCK!?" 😂 26:42-26:46: "Nothing about his characterization makes sense!" 😂
After 2011 he starred in Moonrise Kingdom, Cold Light of Day, Fire With Fire, Looper, Expendables 2, Red 2, GI Joe: Retaliation, Die Hard 5, Death Wish, Precious Cargo, The Prince, and Glass
@@devinharbert2245I agree with you there. I feel that Law Abiding Citizen is a fantastic film up until the scene in the car park onwards. At that point, none of Clyde's actions make any sense and it really kills the ending as I didn't buy Jonas fooling him. Also, Clyde was clearly originally supposed to be the main character.
2 questions, 1) Do you plan to repost your Rap Critic BMB crossover on Big Mommas?(Perhaps around the release of Madea's Funeral?) and 2) Do you have any films in your review pile that you'd consider doing with rap critic? I always enjoyed them because I feel you have a natural comic chemistry that comes through in the reviews.
1) At some point, but nothing in mind just yet unless I do a new crossover it can tie into. Speaking of... 2) Rap Critic and I have wanted to do another collaboration for years, but it's difficult because we're separated by an ocean. But I do have ideas should the opportunity arise.
@@FilmBrain I wonder when that will be uploaded in the channel? I still love the fact that you referred it as a self-parody because a notable Asian actor from Kung Pow is in it.
26:46- Well, I guess that's better than having 50 kill a bunch a nameless henchmen, who were just doing the jobs they were paid to do, but then sparing the life of the guy who almost murdered him.
The thing about Detroit PD not showing up for any real crime is accurate. Had there been an expired parking meter, they would have shown up immediately
To be fair, if they put the James Remar seen before Ryan Phillippe goes to the prison, it really wouldn't make sense. getting into a violent fight like that would certainly get you a week or a month in the hole. I'm going to take a wild guess and say that this is not his first violent outburst. They sure as hell would not give him a visit, even behind the glass, with his kid if he got put in solitary
about the 35 seconds of decent writing... you know what they say, a broken clock is right twice a day. they got a small glimmer of inspiration and... now its gone.
12:45 Oh yeah, I remember this review mostly from the one guy SOMEHOW ACCIDENTIALLY SHOOTING HIMSELF IN THE HEAD. What is this, a Robot Chicken sketch?
Out of curiosity, I do wonder how black reviewers like the Rap Critic feel about people like 50 Cents, and the whole "gangsta black culture" that is so rampant in movies? 'cause for many of us in Eastern Europe who only see black people as tourists or the rare off-shore office colleague... many times that is our only view at black urban culture in the USA, and I have to say it does not paint a very positive picture...
Swift Nimblefoot thats why theres a huge push from within the african american community for more positive or more well rounded portrayal in media. Both in white media and internally in black media.
What is it that many films, such as this, show high action sequences so close up, it comes across as a fast montage of bad photos of people flopping around? There's no arc to the action--where they're coming from and goint to; relative distances; interaction within the parameters of the environment; and who is who doing what. Also, hasn't any filmmaker realized how pointless and tiresome it is when the villain is about the kill the hero, he simply has to blah blah blah, thus giving the protagonist the opportunity to. . . . that's right---get away.? There's no suspense there, because we've seen this before in almost every movie with a hero, a villain and a weapon. How can there be even the slightest tension anymore? It worked well in Goldfinger when Bond was about to ge sliced by a laser. That had all the targeted male viewers squeamish.---54 years ago. 💩
It's because they saw the Bourne movies do it, and don't realize it worked in them because much of the fighting was extremely close-quarters and claustrophobic on purpose and the flashy cutting was to make the audience feel disoriented.
I just notice who that one bad guy is; he's a recurring villain on Burn Notice and probably the 2nd best one He's a really good actor it's a shame he's in this
the 15:30 mark, did they travel back in time and onto the set of Payback starring Mel Gibson, I got this weird sense of deja vu since there is a scene eerily similar to this one, right down to nearly similar dialogue. they would just need to start calling 50 cent by the name of Porter to cement it.
I gotta ask, as both a zoologist and a furry - why is it that the word "cheetah" is so often associated with strippers and whores in America? I mean, the german or hungarian word ("gepard") certainly has no such meanings... but like 50cent's Cheetah Vision, I do often see this word used for various sex-related businesses.
Not really, the shootout in Heat is iconic, and has inspired many imitators from good ones like The Dark Knight to bad ones like in The Sweeney or A Day to Die.

Film Brain First, I didn't know that you two collaborated. Second, I didn't know that "Set Up" even existed.
Film Brain This is one of my favourite reviews by you. Very proud you re-edited this episode into HD.
“50 Cent got shot.. again. Welcome to Get Rich or Die Trying 5.0”

I was having the worst day possible. When I saw this in my list I actually teared up a lill from joy. Lol guess I really needed a laugh.
0:24-0:26: I know one rapper with Ice in their name that sucked at acting. His name is Vanilla Ice.

Ah 2011, when Bruce Willis phoning in a couple of scenes in a DVD movie was surprising [apparently this was the first EFO-Bruce Willis collaboration].
James Atkinson well he did star in a good day to die hard. 😫😫😫
@jbiehlable a much better film
After 2011 he starred in Moonrise Kingdom, Cold Light of Day, Fire With Fire, Looper, Expendables 2, Red 2, GI Joe: Retaliation, Die Hard 5, Death Wish, Precious Cargo, The Prince, and Glass
And in 2023.....we know the reason why.
@@devinharbert2245 He was a decent guest star for GI Joe 2, though the first one was more sci fi fun goodness, the second one had its good moments.
Ice-T isn't all that bad an actor. He's great in SVU working along side Richard Belzer!
Belzer's also a stand up comedian, iirc.
I like you guys together, get Rap Critic on board when you get around to "Law Abiding Citizen"
But Law Abiding Citizen is a Good film just had a bad ending cause a studio demand but Gerard Butler's other films of 2009 were Shit
@@devinharbert2245I agree with you there. I feel that Law Abiding Citizen is a fantastic film up until the scene in the car park onwards.

Defiantly one of the best Film Brain crossovers.

HOLY SHIT MADEA IS FINALLY DEAD FUCK YEAH DANCE ON THE GRAVE!!!!! :D
And I thought Jaden Smith was bad with monologues.
Flash Moore yeah.
0:00; A reference to "Art of War 3: Retribution". Still one of my favorite BMBs of all time.
Yep, it is indeed! I'm happy some still know what that's referencing.
Film Brain did treach not realize the film wasn't a western?
Speaking of which, I want an Art of War 4 (starring Treach again) just for Film Brain to review it.
@@FilmBrain I wonder when that will be uploaded in the channel? I still love the fact that you referred it as a self-parody because a notable Asian actor from Kung Pow is in it.

Ice Cube actually is good Boyz in the Hood Ride Along in and Friday and Ice-T Law and Order they do make good actors sort of
...Oh. I thought this was one of those dance movies. Oh, well. Generic action is fine too.
~looks at the thumbnail picture~ Oh, this is going to be a good one. Then again, these videos usually are good.
The thing about Detroit PD not showing up for any real crime is accurate. Had there been an expired parking meter, they would have shown up immediately
I would love to just see you and rap critic Shooting the shit about movies sometime.
If you see Vincent tell him I'm coming for him.

So you just believe everything you see in movies? Yikes
THe scene with 50 putting his money in the bear reminds me of Roger as a Sweat Shop owner in American Dad!
You two need to do another review together this was great
From that intro I guess you could say: a good set up, but executed badly.

Ice Cube's son is a good actor
John Smith Ice Quartic
John Smith who’s Ice cube?
I just notice who that one bad guy is; he's a recurring villain on Burn Notice and probably the 2nd best one
He's a really good actor it's a shame he's in this
Tupac in Gridlock’d and Gang Related were both great performances.
18:50 hated this; worse than her actual break up with her former husband
I was so excited with the different intro it'd be a new one. Still, an episode I haven't seen brings joy to my day!
His newest intro has a different song.
0:18 Queen Latifah: Am I a joke to you?
Is this the film Ryan Phillipe won the pencil award for?
The 2 of you are hilarious together
the 15:30 mark, did they travel back in time and onto the set of Payback starring Mel Gibson, I got this weird sense of deja vu since there is a scene eerily similar to this one, right down to nearly similar dialogue. they would just need to start calling 50 cent by the name of Porter to cement it.
He took the money Sonny!

I always asumed it was something to do with cheetah print clothing
Or it could be a premature ejaculation joke.
All speed No stamina
@@WDemonicPrinceThat and cheetahs have spots.
16:05 - There goes poor Dutch from the Shield, why was he in this shitty movie? Oh and ... why kill your diamond seller BEFORE he sold the diamonds?
Swift Nimblefoot he's a moron.
Do you still do bad movie beatdowns ?
Yes. When I get chance between having to re-edit the old ones back up onto UA-cam.
K pop out milk? Don’t ask me this is autocorrect gone mad
Rap critic reminds me of Jeff Goldblum
Made my day.
5:07 “but because he was fisting his father”
I know what you're implying, and I just wanted to say that your parents disapprove. >:(
Ah, the point is what they pray to 'every night' (-_-)
That was harsh on Val Kilmer.
Mos def is a damn good actor.
Great vid.
50 cent being a priest?
My parents say he is a good actor. Don't ask me why they do.
Matthew is the bomb, 50 cent is a low down dirty shame.
5:04 read the producers
fire with fire was actually pretty good
Fuck Off Was it good or just enjoyable? There's a difference.
ADP1998 it was good
This looks like a time for , SMBOLYSMMmmmmmmmmm.
I feel the only reason 50 cent keeps on repeatedly being cast in films, is to make big actors embarrass them selves.
Devin Harbert I mean he’s pretty good in Den of Thieves
Man, Darren is the best rap critic , 50 cent is an insult to humanity.
Devin Harbert shut the fuck up
Rappers can't act will smith queen latifa
Apparently no one.
I can name 3 good rapper/actors: Common, Ludacris, Queen Latifah
Don't forget Riz Ahmed!
Accussing the scene of being a ripoff of Heat really is childish. Might as well call Heat a ripoff of Dog Day Afternoon.
Not really, the shootout in Heat is iconic, and has inspired many imitators from good ones like The Dark Knight to bad ones like in The Sweeney or A Day to Die.
Review whole 9 yards.
Rap Critic why so salty? Mad because 50 Cent managed to have some success and you didn't
Keep Crying Chinyere.
