It's really a bummer this film had a poor reputation when it was released. i felt my generation, who were the children that grew up watching this appreciate this film more not only for the it's nostalgia but it's impressive atmospheric build ups, action, well written dialogue and colorful sets !
"Better die Peter" "To die would be a great adventure" "Death is the only adventure you have left" Those quotes touched me a lot when I was only 8 years old.
after hook said that it should have had pan say," i dont fear death jas, but you do that why you still fear the tick and the tock you know your time has run out."
My only gripe about it is that Hook is using what appears to be a foil, I would have preferred something a little more grand like a saber. I think he had one but traded it for the foil when Rufio first challenged him.
@@johnduckworth3866 I noticed that too, it also doesnt make a lot of sense lol Peter seems to be using a short sword, which would snap hooks foil in about 2-3 good whacks
@@caseysaisi3417 if we brought him Dustin Hoffman back from the past a young version of him bringing him to the future he can replace his role in the live action version of Peter Pan
3:06 I always got shivers of how cool that scream was. He hated Pan with such a passion but his fear of crocodiles was so overpowering he forgot his armed opponent and stumbled back in fear. That was a powerful scene.
Interesting thought. The clock represents his fear of death. But in the Disney film, it was just because the clock was inside the crocodile. In this version, it shows he has a fear of running out of time. He just used the croc as an excuse to hide his fears. Hes in Neverland for the same reason as Peter was.
@@silverpslm jm barrie said it best.” Time was chasing after him. Once the final battle happened in peter and Wendy the croc was no longer ticking, hooks time was up, death was coming to collect.”
I love this movie and this duel. As someone who as taken fencing classes this is a technical duel with actual saber technique . They really look like two master swordsman and rivals having it out one last time. I notice something despite all hook dead he wouldn't kill him and even gave his sword back at one point. It's a show of sportsmanship and even when he had the chance at the end of the duel he didn't finish Hook as he accused him of deserving. It shows he's the better man than Hook and the idea you don't have to kill your opponent to win .
*"Prepare to die, Peter."* *"To die would be a great adventure."* *"Death is the only adventure you have left."* *I remember you being a lot bigger."* *"Well, to a 10 year old I'm huge."* This movie had some amazing exchanges.
I would add: Peter yells to Captain Hook:"What do you want old man?" (Dramatic pause and close up) Hook quietly, but passionately states: "Just you." I'm not sure why that little exchange is so meaningful to me. It's like a promise that Hook is giving to Peter that this is their definitive battle and that this is where it will end.
That line is quite important as well for the whole fight scenario. Before when Pan was a kid Hook could use his strength and size to his advantage against Pan pan countered this when he was as kid with his agility and speed. But now that Pan is full grown Hook has lost his main advantage which was size and strength. which makes this fight harder for Hook. In fact Peter his the size, strength to equal Hook plus speed and agility.
@@Baydzoneah good form my dude I been saying that forever I was so in love with this movie as a 90s good that I went as hook for Halloween from age 5-8 I was obsessed
@HorrorGod920 I HATE! I HATE! I HATE! PETER PAN🤣🙏 What a legend he was! I thought he was the best character in the movie. I did like the old cartoon one but Dustin Hoffman's portrayal really put the character up there for me.
This hits differently as an adult, Hook is ultimately afraid of facing the end of his life, the fear every grown-up has. To know that the life and joy and bliss of childhood ticks and tocks away and you don't know it until your back and knees start aching. With Pan gone Hook lost all purpose, and he longed for that rush again. I love that he died a villain, that he didn't lose character in death, he was an old and evil man who met his deserved end.
I feel both actors did an excellent job for their roles. Robin W was fantastic as an adult Peter Pan, and the guy who plays Hook I think was also VERY good! Strong voice, a decent height, and with that wig, part beard on him made him look even more of a proper villain.
That was Dustin Hoffman who does Captain Hook. He sure did nail it. I loved Robin Williams in this movie since I was a kid that he sure does do a great job. It really sucks that he had to die that I still miss him. I'm sure we all do. But hey, "Good form old man."
The most intense part of this duel was 1:56. Not just because of all the sparks flying, but because Hook is trying to break Pan by reminding who he was and who could just as easily revert back to without batting an eye, though he didn't.
I honestly hated the Disney remake. I felt like, as a child watching it, that is was incredibly dark for others. A lot of the sets were dark and the main theme was just....off. and the final fight wasn't even a fight it was just hook getting thrown around until the croc eats him
Holy shit, how dramatic can you get? Are you one of those guys that goes around UA-cam commenting on every movie clip about every nuance and how incredible your taste in movies are and how amazing a scene is? We get it, you sniff your own farts and you’re a virgin. Calm down with all that autism.
Moviefan2k4 3:36 to 3:38 Peter Banning AKA Peter Pan: Tick---*removes Hook's wig/hat making him bald* TOCK!! *Rest in Peace Robin McLaurin Williams you God-damn national treasure legend you never had a friend like him*
⌚⌚⌚⌚⌚⌚⌚⌚⌚⌚😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄 Cap'n Hook:Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh 2nd aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh in the end of the Battle Tic Toc aaaaaaahhhhhhh, a Wig and hook is Bald and he put his wig again and the 🐊Will Eat him, ahahahahahaha and (No more Hook)
I don't think Hook's cheat was anything personal. He did seem genuinely impressed that Peter wanted to keep the fight going and only did that to remind everyone he's still a pirate.
Shanethefilmmaker but in a way it signed his death papers. Bad form when good form is shown leads to morals off. Peter was ok with the lost boys getting involved now
dannyhuskerjay it also show why despite being likeable and charismatic, Hook inevitably looses in the books and adaptation : he's not as virtuous as he'd like to be. Meanwhile Peter can be a mischevious and sinster, he's still got a strong sense of fairness, and acts more on good form than Hook does.
@@jihef03 exactly. in the og play pan is about to kill hook but he notices hook is not on equal ground so he holds out his hand to kill him on equal ground and hook bites him. hook acts like the child biting unlike pan. it happens here in this fight as well. hook has peter pinned and trapped. knowing pan could get out of this easy he instead plays mind games with him to make him forget he pan and becoming banning again who is weak. meaning hook would kill peter banning and claim to have killed pan. bad form is hooks game in the end hes a big coward.
Hooks swordsmanship really is something else, even in his older years. Rufio, though he fought valiantly to his last breath, was absolutely out of his league, and Pan, though barely an even match for Hook, had just regained his memories and had to figure things out again on the fly, and Hook had him on the retreat for most of the battle. Hook must've been an absolutely horrifying opponent in his prime.
Rufio was clearly out his league. Peter was better, event though he won due to cheating. But overall, Peter had the upper hand during most part of this duel.
To be fair, and put it in movie context... Peter returns Hook's sword to him, Hook slices his arm with the hook Bad form- Hook The Lost Boys and the clocks... Bad form- Peter, technically (we don't know that Peter planned this, or if the Lost Boys simply used their knowledge of Hook's phobia) Hook's spring-loaded dagger, after Peter again allows Hook his life and his dignity... Bad form- Hook Tink flying in like a lightning bolt and catching Hook's killing blow with her dagger... Bad form- Peter, technically (certainly wasn't planned by Peter, but Tink wasn't going to let Peter die after all that) So Hook began the "bad form" and ultimately, Peter didn't kill him anyway. The croc did.
Thing too is that he's the captain. The crew would typically be fighting first, though he would have been armed. I'm sure he would still practice (he showed he an still shoot), but he was still that good in actual combat.
This was one of the first movies that helped me understand what a father was supposed to be, and how not be one. I know there are a couple of other movies and books that helped, besides my own father being there for me. I think I was 9 when I actually wanted to be not just a father in general, but a good and loving father.
1:40-1:48 is my favorite little section of the duel, the music is incredibly spot on and really hits that epic adventure vibe for me, Peter switching sword hands on that spin 🔥🔥
@@bluecorp8557 No it's *NOT* the straight facts because that version sucks. This and the Disney movie are infinitely better. *THOSE* are the straight facts.
And Hook sliced his stomach and kidnapped his kids, that makes them about even. That said, Hook wasn't mad that he lost his hand. He loved his hook. What pissed him off truly, was that it was fed to the croc who liked it so much it wanted more.
1:33 "Pain's no game, James!" lol 2:48 even as a kid, I was like, is that hook rubber!? It bent! "BAD FORM!" (Jack using Hook's words from hanging out with him so much) lol 3:07 God, I LOVE that part. The music's awesome! 3:37 Something I never noticed...as soon as Hook looses his wig, surrounded by the clocks, he looses all his strength and fighting prowess like an old man about to die. I don't think it was an act, but when he gets his wig back, he becomes aggressive and fights one more time.
Mckenzie .Latham He was Tootsie. During the behind the scenes of that movie they said he’s such a perfectionist that he wanted to be exactly like a woman and that was endearing to them.
Wow. When Robin said “To die would be a great adventure” means so much more now than when I first heard it when I was 12 and watched it for the first time. 😢😢
To me, Dustin Hoffman IS Captain James Hook. He captures every nuance of the character. Peter Pan rediscovered the joy of childhood with his happy thought of being a father. Hook, on the other hand, grew old but never matured. You can see his childlike excitement at the prospect of a sword fight with Pan.
I was 10 when this came out. This is still one of my favorite movies. To me, it was so magical, and I got completely sucked into Neverland. I wanted to fly.
I always love swordfights where it's blatantly obvious that the villain is much better with a blade than the hero is. In this fight and Rufio's, Hook does little things during both that show that Rufio is a "boy", and Pan just regained his ability to be Peter Pan. They can use their swords, but Hook has just been doing it for much longer.
I agree. Don't cross swords with Captain Hook. He has a subtle yet powerful thrust in his sword play. You can see he does not mess around because his strikes are almost always going for a kill shot. Rufio was definitely on the defense and Peter Pan had to figure it out again really quick.
@@Foxhound3857 Well I noticed during the fight that Rufio raised his arms to block Hook's attack with his sword, but doing so left him exposed for Hook to deliver the final blow to the chest. It wasn't that fast of an attack from what I saw. Rufio had just enough time to respond, and even Hook did a little twirl of his sword before he made the thrust, I'm assuming as a display of style. Rufio could've countered that. And even before all that he could've avoided those last bouts altogether if he wasn't busy taunting Hook when he pinned him down.
Peter's taunt and the Lost Boys' answering cry of "Pan!!" at 1:38 always gets me extremely hyped - I can't watch this scene without going back over that part at least a couple of times. It was shocking to learn this dud poorly upon release - everyone I know of in the target demographic absolutely loves it (I'm 40), I don't know of any 80s/90s kid who doesn't consider it a masterpiece (except maybe a few later 90s, early zoomer types, who aren't really 90s kids anyway). It's an excellent sequel to the story of Peter Pan, and touches upon all the same ideas about staying young vs growing up, the magic of imagination, and youthful adventure that makes the source material great. It nails the idea of "after happily ever after" better than any other movies/shows of that type, and was accessible to kids while still including some pretty dark concepts (Wendy didn't just grow up, she got OLD!! Rufio fucking DIES!). Indeed, those dark moments make it MORE impactful to kids - the best kids stories always have dark elements - we didn't used to be such pussies about keeping kids away from stuff like that (which, incidentally, made us better able to deal with the real world later - the coddling kids currently get won't continue into adulthood, and we do them a disservice by pretending darkness isn't a part of life). One of the reasons I can't stand most of the Potter films is that they really tone shit down vs the books, and the story is worse for it. The dark parts of the world are what make us appreciate the way the bright parts shine - light has no meaning without darkness, and it's the brightest light that creates the deepest shadows - that juxtaposition is an integral part of life, because without it, everything is a bland, featureless grey. I know it seems like I got a bit off topic, but I think those elements are why we have so many great kids movies like this from that era: The Goonies, Neverending Story, Secret of NIMH, etc. Every one of those classics have dark, potentially "traumatic" scenes - hell, one of the very first movies most people my age ever saw was The Land Before Time, a truly bleak story with starvation, extinction, and the death of a parent. That movie would probably send most parents into hysterics today if you showed it to their kids. All of this is totally applicable to Hook, and is one of the elements that makes it such a beloved classic. Everyone sinks into their roles: Robin Williams sold both the dickhead, no fun, cowardly father and the playful, brave Pan the Avenger. Hook was THE Captain Hook - I was in my 30s before I found out it was Dustin Hoffman under all that, because he disappeared so well into the character. Even the kids executed well (besides the little girl, who is so cloyingly sweet she gives me cavities), and working with kids is always a risk, ESPECIALLY with that many. All those elements come together to create something greater than the sum of its parts, a timeless classic that makes me want to cheer along with "Pan!!" just as much at 40 as it did at 9.
“Peter! I swear to you wherever you go wherever you are, I vow there will always be daggers bearing notes signed James Hook. They’ll be flung at the doors of your children’s children’s children.” Man, that’s a pretty metal quote
Top line. Hook truly wants his man, and Peter obliges. Of course, Peter knows his adventures are over, and to prevent any future happenings, he gives James the....honour... of a battle to the end.
Like the old saying goes: "If you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself." I had to upload this video myself today. ua-cam.com/video/twzaorplSzE/v-deo.html
3:07 is one of my favorite scenes because before he tried to tempt Peter of who he was which was his weakness and failed but when Captain Hook's true weakness was time because he realized he that he was getting older and his tyranny of killing was coming to an end and the truth was Peter had time to make up for the time he lost with his family and hook didn't have that he had no wife or children because he had wasted all that time by chasing Peter and keep fear the moral of the story is: Growing up is an adventure life is has fabulous treasure but mostly love your family because you will never know when your life ends
Let me say just how amazing John Williams score is utilized here. It's my personal favorite soundtrack of all time and is rarely mentioned when discussing his best scores.
@@raystantz2471 you are a God, Ray Stantz! .....see what I did there ;) For real though I have some of the "complete score" that I have been lucky to aquire over the years. Of course I have the original soundtrack. In fact, the Hook soundtrack was the 2nd soundtrack I ever bought for myself as a kid. There was just something so magical and majestic about the music John Williams was able to create and it fits so perfectly well within Steven Spielberg's version of Neverland.
@@blakeholland7640 yes;) And yes, the score is oh so magical. The Flight to Neverland is one of my favorite moments because that literally captures the essence of the entire score and movie
@@raystantz2471 I also am very appreciative of you including the "hook" chants into the "Presenting the Hook" cue. If I had to make a list of my favorite moments in movie history, then most certainly one of the would be "The Introduction of Captain James Hook" from this classic because of the emotional build up of meeting Captain Hook. I mean, he doesn't show up until 40 minutes into the movie. The characters talk about him, you see the wreckage he makes of the Darling household, he kidnaps Pan's children, he's portrayed in murals on walls and glass overshadowed by an adventurous and villainous musical score. Then, you see the pirate village and the magnificent Jolly Roger brought to life sitting before your eyes. Pirates, hundreds of them gleefully sing Hooks praises like he is a rockstar (David Bowie was originally supposed to play him so that mentality makes sense). John Williams magnificent orchestral score blasting a fun pirate theme in the background. It all just comes together spectacularly!!!
@@blakeholland7640 yes yes yes! The Hook chanting was actually recorded by Williams, it’s not dialogue, which makes it even cooler because it’s a very memorable cue.
@i'm only here for the beer Exactly, just as Peter forgot his time in Neverland, he also forgot his time in the real world when he learned to fly again and became Peter Pan. Same happened with Jack, he forgot his parents.
1:55 "You know you're not really Peter Pan, don't you? This is only a dream. When you wake up you'll just be Peter Banning; a cold, selfish, man who drinks too much, is obsessed with success, and runs and hides from his wife and children!" Good gravy, I feel like that line is so relevant to many man-children in today's day and age! Especially Andrew Tate's lost boys who think that it's somehow gay to live with your wife and support the kids you sired, and that you should leave them and live in a house with other man-children who are obsessed with success and only focus on making money. We've got a lot of "Lost Boys" in this generation who grew up physically, but failed to mature mentally and emotionally!
I've been watching this movie my whole life and I literally just now had this revelation. "Captain Hook's afraid of time." As a kid you don't realize it, but when you are older, you realize time is a very scary thing. It will march on, you will get closer and closer to death, and there's nothing you can do about it. If you let it, this fear can grip you and take all the joy out of your life. That's what Hook represents. And so he's the opposite of Pan, the eternal child, who without that fear of time is still able to find joy.
Well my question is was Peter just going to walk away leaving Hook to do whatever? I mean Hook had just killed Rufio and Rufio was the lost boys leader! And then Peter Pan tries to take his kids back again before the crocodile 🐊 scene and tries to walk away before Hook pulls out a sword up his sleeve or something. Really? PP was just gonna leave the lost boys without a leader and Hook there still alive? And was Hook really gonna stab Peter with his hand hook? What if Tinker Bell hadn’t grabbed Hooks hook? What would have PP done? And BTW what is Captain Hook’s Backstory? How did he even become Captain Hook?
@@StrongNoahThe fun part about Captain James Hook is no one really knows where he came from, much less who he really is. All we know is that he became part of Neverland
I cannot describe how much I loved Hook as a child. My parents had to buy a copy from goodwill because I watched it so much. Same with the Ninja Turtles.
It’s funny I saw a lot of Star Wars references between the backflips, Hook taking off his coat to fight Peter Pan and the the sparks that go off when they finally hit each others swords just like lightsabers
George Lucas and Steven Spielberg often reference each other’s movies. This movie is no exception. George Lucas and Carrie Fisher have a brief cameo as a couple whom tinker bell flies past with baby Peter Pan.
"When you wake up, you'll just be Peter Banning, a cold, selfish man who drinks too much, is obsessed with success, and runs and hides from his wife and children!" I love this quote, part of me believes that this whole scheme that Hook stirred up was just to show Peter what could happen if he loses sight of who he is, I reckon Hook used to be a good man once but the same thing happened to him, and he doesn't want Peter to end up like that, if he does...then Hook will have no-one to fight, since without Pan he had no purpose.
It's really a bummer this film had a poor reputation when it was released. i felt my generation, who were the children that grew up watching this appreciate this film more not only for the it's nostalgia but it's impressive atmospheric build ups, action, well written dialogue and colorful sets !
It's also got one of the best film scores in cinema history. John Williams' crowning achievement, and that's saying quite a lot.
@@BrianLaGuardia true
It was foreshadowing the animation that was made famous changed to live action. RIP Robin. Thank you.
Awesome movie. Best Peter Pan movie I've watched
Easily my favorite childhood movie
Hook taking off his coat the way it was taken off was an immediate indication that he was serious in that fight.
It was also a indication that he knew the man before him was someone he considered his rival!
The coat was probably long and heavy for him and he has to be quick in a sword dual to win.
Much like a jedi does before a fight
Yeah he did not see Rufio as a real fight, he was prepared enough to change swords for him, but to take off his coat and get really serious. No.
Yup!!
"Better die Peter"
"To die would be a great adventure"
"Death is the only adventure you have left"
Those quotes touched me a lot when I was only 8 years old.

The Captain Hook in the 2003 film also uses his hook in the swordplay during the Black Castle scene.

"One shall stand, one shall fall"
@@tyvulpintaur2732 that's a line delivered by a hero, not a villain... But it IS an epic line and has been since 1986.
Dustin Hoffman is such a class act in everything he does.
He's barely recognizable here
The character of Martin short in Get Shorty was inspired by Dustin Hoffman just something I found interesting.
I recognize him because he sounds a lot like shifu here
He also played on Papillon
That's Dustin Hoffman???
"Pan the Avenger is back." Well now that Disney owns Marvel, Peter Pan joining The Avengers is a terrifying possibility
So, basically Iron Man without the armour, strength, and weapons?
There is only one pan :(
@@ChallengerBanX ariel no. Disney own her. They don't own the little mermaid. But in the original book she is never named
I'd be pretty okay with that if it were Robin Williams.
Peter Pan is not a marvel character sooooo, I don’t think so
Peter Pan: I remember you being a lot bigger.
Captain Hook: Well, to a ten year old, I'm huge.
That's a great line.
Is no one going to say phrasing?
Phrasing? Seriously, is that not a thing anymore?
That line is quite important as well for the whole fight scenario. Before when Pan was a kid Hook could use his strength and size to his advantage against Pan pan countered this when he was as kid with his agility and speed.

That's not saying much.
Nothing can touch the same emotions of this movie.

It’s because Hoffman was truly terrified by the clocks.

The most intense part of this duel was 1:56. Not just because of all the sparks flying, but because Hook is trying to break Pan by reminding who he was and who could just as easily revert back to without batting an eye, though he didn't.
Great attempt at psychological warfare
What Hook doesn't realize is the lengths a father would go through for his children.
Think he was also projecting too, since he was living a dream and running away from reality as well

I honestly hated the Disney remake. I felt like, as a child watching it, that is was incredibly dark for others. A lot of the sets were dark and the main theme was just....off. and the final fight wasn't even a fight it was just hook getting thrown around until the croc eats him
One of the most epic battles in cinema, fantasy and myth. The magic and meanings of this movie are more real than people can grasp.
Yes yes, you're very unique we get it
Holy shit, how dramatic can you get? Are you one of those guys that goes around UA-cam commenting on every movie clip about every nuance and how incredible your taste in movies are and how amazing a scene is? We get it, you sniff your own farts and you’re a virgin. Calm down with all that autism.
“What do you want old man?”
Suspense
“Just you”
Love it
"You got me, James Hook."

Peter Banning AKA Peter Pan: Tick---*removes Hook's wig/hat making him bald* TOCK!!
*Rest in Peace Robin McLaurin Williams you God-damn national treasure legend you never had a friend like him*
⌚⌚⌚⌚⌚⌚⌚⌚⌚⌚😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄 Cap'n Hook:Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh 2nd aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh in the end of the Battle Tic Toc aaaaaaahhhhhhh, a Wig and hook is Bald and he put his wig again and the 🐊Will Eat him, ahahahahahaha and (No more Hook)
I love that line when hook gets scared of the clocks
I don't think Hook's cheat was anything personal. He did seem genuinely impressed that Peter wanted to keep the fight going and only did that to remind everyone he's still a pirate.
Shanethefilmmaker but in a way it signed his death papers. Bad form when good form is shown leads to morals off. Peter was ok with the lost boys getting involved now
dannyhuskerjay it also show why despite being likeable and charismatic, Hook inevitably looses in the books and adaptation : he's not as virtuous as he'd like to be. Meanwhile Peter can be a mischevious and sinster, he's still got a strong sense of fairness, and acts more on good form than Hook does.
@@jihef03 exactly. in the og play pan is about to kill hook but he notices hook is not on equal ground so he holds out his hand to kill him on equal ground and hook bites him. hook acts like the child biting unlike pan. it happens here in this fight as well.
hook has peter pinned and trapped. knowing pan could get out of this easy he instead plays mind games with him to make him forget he pan and becoming banning again who is weak. meaning hook would kill peter banning and claim to have killed pan. bad form is hooks game in the end hes a big coward.
"turn about is fair play"
Reminds me of "Pirates of the Caribbean"
"... You cheated!"
"Pirate!"
Hooks swordsmanship really is something else, even in his older years. Rufio, though he fought valiantly to his last breath, was absolutely out of his league, and Pan, though barely an even match for Hook, had just regained his memories and had to figure things out again on the fly, and Hook had him on the retreat for most of the battle.
Hook must've been an absolutely horrifying opponent in his prime.
It wouldn't been interesting to see this fight playout without interference from the lost boys.
@@patrckhh20Yeah, talk about cheating
Rufio was clearly out his league. Peter was better, event though he won due to cheating. But overall, Peter had the upper hand during most part of this duel.
To be fair, and put it in movie context...
Peter returns Hook's sword to him, Hook slices his arm with the hook
Bad form- Hook
The Lost Boys and the clocks...
Bad form- Peter, technically (we don't know that Peter planned this, or if the Lost Boys simply used their knowledge of Hook's phobia)
Hook's spring-loaded dagger, after Peter again allows Hook his life and his dignity...
Bad form- Hook
Tink flying in like a lightning bolt and catching Hook's killing blow with her dagger...
Bad form- Peter, technically (certainly wasn't planned by Peter, but Tink wasn't going to let Peter die after all that)
So Hook began the "bad form" and ultimately, Peter didn't kill him anyway. The croc did.
Thing too is that he's the captain. The crew would typically be fighting first, though he would have been armed. I'm sure he would still practice (he showed he an still shoot), but he was still that good in actual combat.
Anyone else notice Pan's Shadow was child sized?
:O:O:O
Well played...
You know how old I was when I realised that? I was today years old.
My mind actually got blown upon this revelation.
Lol
Peter Pan: "Pan the avenger is back."
Captain Hook:"And the Hook is waiting, Peter Pan."
Man, I think Robin should have been in more action movies, he was phenomenal in this movie!
Omg he should’ve
Yes!!! Robin really should have been in more action movies!!! At least we have this movie.
Jumanji is a good example
No pain, no game, James!
RIP Robin Williams
"PAN!!" RIP Robin
I believe it’s “no pain, no gain”
Never really understood that line when I was little but I loved it
This movie is precious and must be cherished forever.
Great scene by two legendary actors. Right after Rufios death too.
"I think hook's afraid of time ticking away. " wow.
Now I'm older I recognise this movie as a true meditation
Good old fashioned sword fight! Why do people in modern warfare never do this today?
Jamie Olberding if they did I would join the military
They did before Gunpowder was invented.
Because guns and weight and stuff.
Daleks have no hands they have an egg wisk and a sink plunger
Because warfare is more cowardly today. Far easier to press a button and blown someone and their entire country up all at once.
This was one of the first movies that helped me understand what a father was supposed to be, and how not be one.
I know there are a couple of other movies and books that helped, besides my own father being there for me.
I think I was 9 when I actually wanted to be not just a father in general, but a good and loving father.
Dustin Hoffman’s performance is outstanding in this as well as one of the most beautiful costumes ever put on film.
"I remember you being a lot bigger"
"To a ten year old, I'm huge"
Lol, and Dustin Hoffman is like 5'7"
@@jamesnielsen8540 Well, for adults, that's average height but at 5'7, Hook is still a giant among most 10 year olds.
Next to the Genie, Peter Pan is one of Robin Williams' best acting roles, and he had a lot of great acting roles.

"Just you"
The way the music builds up and pulls back just in time for that line is perfect. Little touches like that just don't exist anymore.
1:40-1:48 is my favorite little section of the duel, the music is incredibly spot on and really hits that epic adventure vibe for me, Peter switching sword hands on that spin 🔥🔥
“What do you want old man?”
“JUST YOU”
freaking lets go
This movie is a fucking masterpiece ! All my childhood !
BEST PETER PAN MOVIE
the 2003 one can match it
@@da-vidcargill4975 Hell no. This and the Disney movie are infinitely better.
2003 version is the best. Hate to break it to you guys but it’s straight up facts.
@@bluecorp8557 No it's *NOT* the straight facts because that version sucks. This and the Disney movie are infinitely better. *THOSE* are the straight facts.
Still one of the greatest sword fights in movie history I believe in you Peter Pan
I always love action scenes with sword fighting, but I believe in Peter Pan too!
Its so funny that there banging there swords at each other and having a casual conversation
That's because as adults they have become Equals.
"Become" equals? In the original books, Hook lost his hand to Peter.
And Hook sliced his stomach and kidnapped his kids, that makes them about even. That said, Hook wasn't mad that he lost his hand. He loved his hook. What pissed him off truly, was that it was fed to the croc who liked it so much it wanted more.
Well I mean you spend years trying to kill a guy you kinda end up getting to know him pretty well
well pan it the book and play always taunted hook much like spider-man.
dustin hoffman is almost unrecognizable here
He should have gotten an oscar for this.
1:33 "Pain's no game, James!" lol
2:48 even as a kid, I was like, is that hook rubber!? It bent! "BAD FORM!" (Jack using Hook's words from hanging out with him so much) lol
3:07 God, I LOVE that part. The music's awesome!
3:37 Something I never noticed...as soon as Hook looses his wig, surrounded by the clocks, he looses all his strength and fighting prowess like an old man about to die. I don't think it was an act, but when he gets his wig back, he becomes aggressive and fights one more time.
Found you again 8D
Dustin Hoffman looks a lot like the cartoon version of Captain Hook in the thumbnail for this.
Dustin Hoffman is such a class act in everything he does.
Michael Serota especially his shoes I mean only one version has those kind of shoes. Do I hear Disney
well, it does make sense, as dustin hoffman managed to be The Definitive Captain James Hook.
Mckenzie .Latham He was Tootsie. During the behind the scenes of that movie they said he’s such a perfectionist that he wanted to be exactly like a woman and that was endearing to them.
The thumbnail has changed.
2019 near 30 years it’s still relevant
Wow. When Robin said “To die would be a great adventure” means so much more now than when I first heard it when I was 12 and watched it for the first time. 😢😢
To me, Dustin Hoffman IS Captain James Hook. He captures every nuance of the character. Peter Pan rediscovered the joy of childhood with his happy thought of being a father. Hook, on the other hand, grew old but never matured. You can see his childlike excitement at the prospect of a sword fight with Pan.
I was 10 when this came out. This is still one of my favorite movies. To me, it was so magical, and I got completely sucked into Neverland. I wanted to fly.
Leaving notes on doors for generations upon generations is such an awesome threat.
Does this mean that Hook would never get old and die?
I always love swordfights where it's blatantly obvious that the villain is much better with a blade than the hero is. In this fight and Rufio's, Hook does little things during both that show that Rufio is a "boy", and Pan just regained his ability to be Peter Pan. They can use their swords, but Hook has just been doing it for much longer.
I agree. Don't cross swords with Captain Hook. He has a subtle yet powerful thrust in his sword play. You can see he does not mess around because his strikes are almost always going for a kill shot. Rufio was definitely on the defense and Peter Pan had to figure it out again really quick.
That deceptive flurry that he used to deal the mortal blow to Rufio was sublime swordsmanship. It was just too fast for Rufio to respond to.
@@Foxhound3857a flurry only possible with the smallsword he exchanged for the basket hilt broadsword just before they fought.
@@Foxhound3857 Well I noticed during the fight that Rufio raised his arms to block Hook's attack with his sword, but doing so left him exposed for Hook to deliver the final blow to the chest. It wasn't that fast of an attack from what I saw. Rufio had just enough time to respond, and even Hook did a little twirl of his sword before he made the thrust, I'm assuming as a display of style. Rufio could've countered that. And even before all that he could've avoided those last bouts altogether if he wasn't busy taunting Hook when he pinned him down.
Peter's taunt and the Lost Boys' answering cry of "Pan!!" at 1:38 always gets me extremely hyped - I can't watch this scene without going back over that part at least a couple of times.
It was shocking to learn this dud poorly upon release - everyone I know of in the target demographic absolutely loves it (I'm 40), I don't know of any 80s/90s kid who doesn't consider it a masterpiece (except maybe a few later 90s, early zoomer types, who aren't really 90s kids anyway). It's an excellent sequel to the story of Peter Pan, and touches upon all the same ideas about staying young vs growing up, the magic of imagination, and youthful adventure that makes the source material great.
It nails the idea of "after happily ever after" better than any other movies/shows of that type, and was accessible to kids while still including some pretty dark concepts (Wendy didn't just grow up, she got OLD!! Rufio fucking DIES!). Indeed, those dark moments make it MORE impactful to kids - the best kids stories always have dark elements - we didn't used to be such pussies about keeping kids away from stuff like that (which, incidentally, made us better able to deal with the real world later - the coddling kids currently get won't continue into adulthood, and we do them a disservice by pretending darkness isn't a part of life). One of the reasons I can't stand most of the Potter films is that they really tone shit down vs the books, and the story is worse for it. The dark parts of the world are what make us appreciate the way the bright parts shine - light has no meaning without darkness, and it's the brightest light that creates the deepest shadows - that juxtaposition is an integral part of life, because without it, everything is a bland, featureless grey.
I know it seems like I got a bit off topic, but I think those elements are why we have so many great kids movies like this from that era: The Goonies, Neverending Story, Secret of NIMH, etc. Every one of those classics have dark, potentially "traumatic" scenes - hell, one of the very first movies most people my age ever saw was The Land Before Time, a truly bleak story with starvation, extinction, and the death of a parent. That movie would probably send most parents into hysterics today if you showed it to their kids.
All of this is totally applicable to Hook, and is one of the elements that makes it such a beloved classic. Everyone sinks into their roles: Robin Williams sold both the dickhead, no fun, cowardly father and the playful, brave Pan the Avenger. Hook was THE Captain Hook - I was in my 30s before I found out it was Dustin Hoffman under all that, because he disappeared so well into the character. Even the kids executed well (besides the little girl, who is so cloyingly sweet she gives me cavities), and working with kids is always a risk, ESPECIALLY with that many. All those elements come together to create something greater than the sum of its parts, a timeless classic that makes me want to cheer along with "Pan!!" just as much at 40 as it did at 9.
I would find it really amazing to watch live how they fight against each other
“Peter! I swear to you wherever you go wherever you are, I vow there will always be daggers bearing notes signed James Hook. They’ll be flung at the doors of your children’s children’s children.”
Man, that’s a pretty metal quote
Top line. Hook truly wants his man, and Peter obliges.
Of course, Peter knows his adventures are over, and to prevent any future happenings, he gives James the....honour... of a battle to the end.
I love the part. Where captain Hook responded death is the only adventure you have left
Thirty-two years old and I still go what do you want old man to anyone older 😅
“What do u want oldman?” Love it
"Just you"
Still hard to believe this is the same guy who played the super sensitive dad in Meet the Fockers. Great actor
Don’t forget Rain Man!
No he plays the hippy dad! You're thinking of Robert De Niro.
Always been one of my favorite movie sword fights. Exciting choreography, amazing music, and the set and costumes 👌🏻😁
One of my favourite movies as a kid in the 90s. Moulded me so much.
Dustin Hoffman vs Robin Williams, Tootsie vs Mrs Doubtfire. Let battle commence!
And Shifu vs. Genie
Like the old saying goes: "If you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself." I had to upload this video myself today.
ua-cam.com/video/twzaorplSzE/v-deo.html
0:12 That gaze Peter Pan makes because he knows Captain Hook sticks to his promises.
My favorite part here is "I remember you being a lot bigger." "To a ten year old, I'm *huge*."
I remember watching this with my grandad years ago 😕 can’t enjoy it with him anymore
When I first watched it, I fell in love with it right away and even after all these years I still love it. ❤
I love the timers at the end
3:07 is one of my favorite scenes because before he tried to tempt Peter of who he was which was his weakness and failed but when Captain Hook's true weakness was time because he realized he that he was getting older and his tyranny of killing was coming to an end and the truth was Peter had time to make up for the time he lost with his family and hook didn't have that he had no wife or children because he had wasted all that time by chasing Peter and keep fear the moral of the story is: Growing up is an adventure life is has fabulous treasure but mostly love your family because you will never know when your life ends
Let me say just how amazing John Williams score is utilized here. It's my personal favorite soundtrack of all time and is rarely mentioned when discussing his best scores.
My favorite too! Not sure if you’re aware, but I upload film scores now and the entire score for Hook is available!
@@raystantz2471 you are a God, Ray Stantz!
.....see what I did there ;)
For real though I have some of the "complete score" that I have been lucky to aquire over the years. Of course I have the original soundtrack. In fact, the Hook soundtrack was the 2nd soundtrack I ever bought for myself as a kid. There was just something so magical and majestic about the music John Williams was able to create and it fits so perfectly well within Steven Spielberg's version of Neverland.
@@blakeholland7640 yes;)
And yes, the score is oh so magical. The Flight to Neverland is one of my favorite moments because that literally captures the essence of the entire score and movie
@@raystantz2471 I also am very appreciative of you including the "hook" chants into the "Presenting the Hook" cue. If I had to make a list of my favorite moments in movie history, then most certainly one of the would be "The Introduction of Captain James Hook" from this classic because of the emotional build up of meeting Captain Hook. I mean, he doesn't show up until 40 minutes into the movie. The characters talk about him, you see the wreckage he makes of the Darling household, he kidnaps Pan's children, he's portrayed in murals on walls and glass overshadowed by an adventurous and villainous musical score. Then, you see the pirate village and the magnificent Jolly Roger brought to life sitting before your eyes. Pirates, hundreds of them gleefully sing Hooks praises like he is a rockstar (David Bowie was originally supposed to play him so that mentality makes sense). John Williams magnificent orchestral score blasting a fun pirate theme in the background. It all just comes together spectacularly!!!
@@blakeholland7640 yes yes yes! The Hook chanting was actually recorded by Williams, it’s not dialogue, which makes it even cooler because it’s a very memorable cue.
Peter: Pan the Avenger is back!
Hook: And the Hook is waiting, Peter Pan.
I can't even begin to imagine how much fun Hook was to play.
Can't believe this movie was released 30 years ago!!! Now I really feel old...
3:27 Holy Cow did Peter block Hook's sword with his foot??? Thats badASS
He must've kicked the blade aside.
I’m youth I’m joy I’m a little bird that has broken out of the egg- Peter Pan
I swear, nobody played a better Captain James Hook. The best out of all of them!
I feel like if you could put the essence of what childhood is in a bottle, this movie would be it.
As an 80s baby, it was. Actually this film along with Legend (1985)
The fighting choreography is simply GREAT 😮
"Pan the *AVENGER* is back." *EPIC!* 😎
Bad form!!!
After only three days Hook seems to have had more influence on Jack than a life time of Peter and Moira's parenting.
Negasonic Teenage Warhead thats the thing. Jack, blindly, sees Hook as more of a father figure than Peter
I hate Jack he's an idiot.
@i'm only here for the beer Exactly, just as Peter forgot his time in Neverland, he also forgot his time in the real world when he learned to fly again and became Peter Pan. Same happened with Jack, he forgot his parents.
Jack Sparrow's long lost grandfather
1:55 "You know you're not really Peter Pan, don't you? This is only a dream. When you wake up you'll just be Peter Banning; a cold, selfish, man who drinks too much, is obsessed with success, and runs and hides from his wife and children!"
Good gravy, I feel like that line is so relevant to many man-children in today's day and age! Especially Andrew Tate's lost boys who think that it's somehow gay to live with your wife and support the kids you sired, and that you should leave them and live in a house with other man-children who are obsessed with success and only focus on making money. We've got a lot of "Lost Boys" in this generation who grew up physically, but failed to mature mentally and emotionally!
3:09 What’s the matter Hook? It’s just Tic-Toc clocks!
I've been watching this movie my whole life and I literally just now had this revelation.
"Captain Hook's afraid of time." As a kid you don't realize it, but when you are older, you realize time is a very scary thing. It will march on, you will get closer and closer to death, and there's nothing you can do about it. If you let it, this fear can grip you and take all the joy out of your life. That's what Hook represents. And so he's the opposite of Pan, the eternal child, who without that fear of time is still able to find joy.
Good form, old man.
Captain hook
Ahhhhhhhhhhh!! Aaaaaaaaahhhh!!
You know hook had to die after making that threat. As a man and more importantly as a father Peter wasn't just gonna let that go
Well my question is was Peter just going to walk away leaving Hook to do whatever?
I mean Hook had just killed Rufio and Rufio was the lost boys leader!
And then Peter Pan tries to take his kids back again before the crocodile 🐊 scene and tries to walk away before Hook pulls out a sword up his sleeve or something. Really? PP was just gonna leave the lost boys without a leader and Hook there still alive?
And was Hook really gonna stab Peter with his hand hook?
What if Tinker Bell hadn’t grabbed Hooks hook? What would have PP done?
And BTW what is Captain Hook’s Backstory? How did he even become Captain Hook?
@@StrongNoahThe fun part about Captain James Hook is no one really knows where he came from, much less who he really is. All we know is that he became part of Neverland
1:51 this scene was my favorite. Bringing him back from childhood into reality. Didn't understand it as a kid.
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, Hook's afraid of an old dead croc!
“To die would be a great adventure” oh robin how we miss you!!
I cannot describe how much I loved Hook as a child. My parents had to buy a copy from goodwill because I watched it so much. Same with the Ninja Turtles.
That face at 3:18. Gets me every time.
It’s funny I saw a lot of Star Wars references between the backflips, Hook taking off his coat to fight Peter Pan and the the sparks that go off when they finally hit each others swords just like lightsabers
George Lucas and Steven Spielberg often reference each other’s movies. This movie is no exception. George Lucas and Carrie Fisher have a brief cameo as a couple whom tinker bell flies past with baby Peter Pan.
"When you wake up, you'll just be Peter Banning, a cold, selfish man who drinks too much, is obsessed with success, and runs and hides from his wife and children!" I love this quote, part of me believes that this whole scheme that Hook stirred up was just to show Peter what could happen if he loses sight of who he is, I reckon Hook used to be a good man once but the same thing happened to him, and he doesn't want Peter to end up like that, if he does...then Hook will have no-one to fight, since without Pan he had no purpose.
This film is the GOAT of a kids pirates fantasy. Everything here is just amazing.
