I got goosebumps right up my arse😂😂😂...living Australia I've heard a fair amount of colourful phrases but this is😂😂😂😂..
There are two sequels after this very good.
Yup I had to pause and stop laughing to continue. this is great.
this line made me scroll to comments just to see this LOL
The hairs on my ass are standing straight up…spider senses! 😂
10:41 bro ACTING UP lmfao down reasonably
Now, Equalizer 2.
Brother the premier hasn't even begun 😭
Then 3!
Yes 👍
Only if they don't mind falling asleep from boredom after the first scene 😴...
No ! "Fallen" (1998)
One of my favorite lines from this movie was when Susan said “He didn’t come for help, he came for permission”
I said that in a different reaction to this movie, haha:).
Yep 😁
@@marximus4 yea xD
I think one of the coldest lines of this movie series, only second to "I'm gonna kill each and everyone of you..." iykyk, 😏😏😏
Same!!!
The fact that he stays silent and his face never changes makes him terrifying. They couldn't find a better person for the role. Denzel nailed this role! ❤
I think the villian did a great job one of my fav villains
The Equalizer trilogy is truly fantastic. Whilst the world isn't as deep or rich as something like John Wick, Denzel is as captivating as ever and you really care for him and those around him. Each movie brings its own flavour to the table, definitely worthwhile watching all three.
Thanks for the reaction as always!
The book Robert is reading at 5:59 , a "man who thinks he is a knight in shining armor but lives in a world where there are no nights anymore" is *DON QUIXOTE* , written in 1605 by Miguel de Cervantes. It is considered the first modern novel in history.
The acting is simply better and it’s more deep story , John wick is just basically an arcade movie of action
@@JHolland I agree with you. The Equalizer is a almost real, human story. John Wick is a gothic, comic-book, dark superhero story... just like HANNAH said. So I prefer THE EQUALIZER.
It’s better than John wick
@@cjmac1777 💯
This is based on an 80’s tv series. In it, John McCall, the Equalizer was a one-man A-Team Samaritan, going around helping people who were in too deep, fell through the cracks or couldn’t approach the police and get help through normal channels.
Funnest of facts, the 80's show was with an older british man, well they actually asked Denzel to be in it, and Denzel said he would have done it if not for the fact he was on a big 80's hospital drama called St. Elsewhere.
I love people like you. Constantly teaching me something. That's wild to think about dude!@@punkem733
Minor correction, it was Robert McCall
@@chrishayes1934 yeah thanks. That’s really weird that I typed John lol
In the 1950s, Alan Ladd (SHANE, the 3 classic noir detective films with Veronica Lake) created a radio-show called BOX 13, in which Ladd was a burned-out crime-reporter that was convinced there were 'better stories out in the city' than the fluff pieces his editor wanted. So, Ladd advertised, "Got a problem? Got a story? Write me at Box 13" and each show would solve that mystery or expose the criminals. Wonderful series. And perhaps all of the detective tales were based on some hired-hero saving the day.
Ash, that nail gun in the end actually uses real gunpowder cartridges to drive nails into concrete. So it's not just a regular nail gun. It's an UBER nail gun! Love yours and Hannah's reactions. Keep it up!
I should’ve read your comment before posting my comment. Oh well, 😂
Usually referred to by the brand and called a Hilti. they use .22 cal shells.
My dad had one that was single-shot and used 22 blanks. You set it off with a hammer
@@seanman72yep yep been doing some expansion work myself recently and been using the .22 shells to drive the nails into concrete
And they require the gun itself to be pressed up against something or it won't shoot, soooo....
The Equalizer trilogy and John Wick are two completely different genres. McCall is actually a former DIA hitman/assassin as opposed to former CIA. Wick is action, action, action, action. The Equalizer, on the other hand is refreshing to me because it's more of a slow burner thriller with action sequences supported by the story and heart. I try not to compare the two. The Equalizer trilogy is a tour de force of good story, heart, great acting and unbelievably brutal kills. Great reaction!
My father died in June of this year. This was his favorite series. He always told me he wanted to see the third one with me that came out a day after his birthday, Sept 30th. I watched it with him by me in spirit and you guys need to check out Equalizer 2 and the newest, 3. 3 might be the best one out of the 3, in my opinion. Great reaction!
That's tough bruh. Sorry for your loss. I'm sure he was there with you enjoying E3.
Watched this video as love the series too then a little look at comments, never reply but need to, Bless you, that’s touching, can’t even imagine that, he definitely did watch it with you in spirit, hoping you all the best matey
My father also died in June 2023. Like a former teacher and current friend of mine said, “it’s a horrible club to be a part of”. I share similar feelings about Dune Part 2, coming out at the end of the month. My father loved Dune, novel and Lynch film, and we’d watched the recent Part 1 together. I’ve never been a person of faith but I’ve felt his presence from time to time and I have no doubt you felt the same way when watching Equalizer 3. Details vary, but the tragedy is the same and these moments serve to, in a way, preserve the beauty of life when everything seems bleak, which now it does. Paying continued respect and honor to their memories is the way to keep going.
❤
"WHEN YOU PRAY FOR RAIN YOU GOTTA DEAL WITH THE MUD TOO" that line was soo good and fyi there are 2 more equalizer movies
"He's putting more holes in him than Shia LaBeouf in Holes!" That was hilarious!
There is not a better actor than Denzel Washington... it's a must that any reaction Channel reacts to all of Denzel's hit movies. The Equalizer is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Can't wait for equalizer 2
Which is pretty much all of denzels films, I mean I have been surprised by watching genres I'm not even interested in but somehow denzel did it again, and made it feicking awesome ahaha
Hannah, the respect you felt for the big guy who gave Denzel a hard fight deserved the respect. Actor Tait Fletcher has the distinct honour of being killed by both The Equalizer and Baba Yaga. John Wick pulled his beard and slammed his head on a table, shot him point blank into his ear in the battle at the Red Circle club!
The Equalizer is based on one of the best TV series in the 80s. This movie captured the entire series almost perfectly. The tagline which he placed as a newspaper ad for people in distress: “Odds against you? Call The Equalizer.”
Coming home from work late at night, whenever I felt nervous about the suspicious people on the streets, I reminded myself of the various lessons by Robert McCall in the TV series.”Walk with confidence, don’t act like a victim, stay in the light, avoid dark alleys, pay attention to the people around you”.
Denzel Washington is a huge sign of quality for me. Every film he is in is amazing.
Have you seen "The book of Eli"? Denzel Washington learned Filipino martial arts for that movie in 2010, he's really good at that, enough to do this movie series. I agree with you, this movie has a more realistic tone than the Wick series, Wick universe is more a fantastic one, here The Equalizer lives in the actual world with enemies according. Had a great time watching it with you guys, hugs from Chile
I watched the original '80s series that this movie was based on. I had liked that show, but Denzel Washington took it to a new level! I really enjoyed his take on the character the best! He's what I imagine Robert McCall to be.
Also, wait till you guys see "The Equalizer 2", especially the opening scene. Denzel Washington is such a unique figure in Hollywood, he's one of a few, everything he touches just pure gold. He's truly amazing.
Facts. Denzel knocked it out of the park. I remember the 80's tv show on cbs on mondays right after the tv show cagney and lacey.
Hanna really is pushing the content to new limits
About sciatica:
My wife was completely incapacitated with it about 8 or 9 years ago. Although morphine helped her sleep, the thing that really made it go away was walking. She went to physical therapy and they had her walk on a treadmill with some stretching too. As she did this, the sciatica progressively went away.
I had my sciatic nerve pinched around September last year. Felt like someone was nonstop dragging a knife up and down my leg and went 3 days without sleep before finally getting morphine lol Even then it was rough. Ever since then i get such huge amounts of anxiety and dread if my leg gets sore in that area thinking itll be as bad as before lol
You gotta stretch y'all! And make sure the vit d and magnesium levels are correct. :)
I don't wanna sound like a commercial but yoga saved my spine. I should be in a ton of pain or on drugs.
@Itsunclegabby Yesssss that's the ONLY thing that helped mine. And I'm in recovery (almost 8 years off opiates) so I was terrified to take morphine or anything for it. If it weren't for yoga and walking, I would definitely be on pain pills. Scary to think about but that pain is the second worse thing I've had happen, second ONLY to a kidney stone
@@JessieDee13lost excessive weight that was in my stomach by walking 5 miles per day... No more sciatica.
@@miniliktheodros9894 SAME! I ended up losing a total of 60lbs!
I usually dedicate a full hour to enjoying your videos. Your chemistry is just brilliant and your analysis of videos are quite interesting.
Mate that is such a nice comment, really appreciate you ❤️
I feel like this trilogy was made for Ash. He's gonna love all 3 😂 Hannah is gonna enjoy all 3 too but I think the 3rd one is gonna be her favorite. The 2nd one might be Ash's. Those are my predictions, either way Im gonna enjoy it!! 💛💚
I’m here for it!!!!!!! See you soon 👀
@@justtrustash 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Equalizer is great. Love Denzel. I saw part 3 at the movies and screamed out loud at one point. If you mess with his friends….it’s over.
What makes this, (and the TV series it’s based on), work so well is that it is revenge on the bullies - it’s basically revenge porn for people who have experienced bullies. That’s why it’s so satisfying for the audience, that’s what stands out about it compared to say John Wick. The Equalizer is all about helping ordinary people who can’t fend for themselves in the face of evil. And yes, there are two more movies in the franchise - so far.
New sub here and I gotta say Love your chemistry and great reaction. Can’t wait for 2 and 3.
Welcome mate ❤️👊🏽
Fun fact. John Wick and The Equalizer came out the same year. Both fantastic films.
"Don Quixote" is the novel Robert was explaining to Elena about a knight who lives in a land where they longer exist.
"Dedushka" is Russian for grandpa
"The Jackal" (1997) with Bruce Willis, Richard Gere, & Jack Black
Highly underrated & unappreciated spy/assasin movie in my opinion
(To be fair, the late 90s had a lot of bangers so it flew under the radar)
You should both enjoy the sequel to this one. If you haven't seen it yet, I would recommend Man On Fire. That film is actually based on real life. Denzel does very well playing roles where righteous retribution is needed.
Great to see you guys getting into The Equalizer. If you are looking for more of this emerging "genre", ie. the retired badass with a certain set of skills, take a look at these (if they haven't been mentioned already):
- Nobody with Bob Odenkirk (yes, the Better Call Saul guy)
- Riders of Justice with Mads Mikkelsen (its in Danish with subtitles, have you done a subtitled movie before?)
HANNAH- Have you seen Breaking Bad?? :D
Riders of Justice is such a great movie! Very good recommendation!
+1 for Nobody.
You're right about the emerging genre, where it's comparable to John Wick-esque, but certainly not James Bond or Jason Bourne. Just watched for the first time last week after years of recommendations thinking it'd be "budget John Wick" and loved it. Watched Nobody this afternoon and pleasantly surprised, too. Will definitely check your last suggestion.
Yes, you need to the sequels. Equalizer 2 marked the first time Denzel had ever done a sequel and re-teaming with Antoine Fuqua for the first time since Training Day. They have now worked together 5 times.
Likewise it was the first sequel Antoine Fuqua had ever done in his career too.
INJECT THIS INTO MY VEINS! Ash and hannah reacting to equalizer finally! Never clicked on a youtube thumbnail faster, thing ive bruised my thumb lol 😂😎
Hope you enjoyed it you legend ❤️
THE BEST Reaction channel on UA-cam BY FAR!!! The amazing thing about Denzel is he chooses these roles BECAUSE he believes in them, Man on Fire , Equalizer 1, 2 & 3 are all about human trafficking and revenge for people he loves. There’s an amazing video of the Oscar’s after will smith slapped the announcer and Denzel is talking to Will after trying to calm him down and correct him but does it SO sincerely but is bold and blunt too. Some of the best motivational speeches I’ve ever seen are from him at graduation ceremonies and in interviews putting the press/media IN THEIR PLACES when they F things up. I Love Denzel, he’s truly like Keanu Reeves , such an amazing human bieng!
Btw hannah you were right immediately guessing he was US Army, good jobhis background IS US militaries Special Operations and then into the CIA as most Tier 1, 2 and 3 Spec Ops war fighters do, becoming GRS Agent with the CIA (The Agency” refers to the CIA , his good friend is apparently a high up so we know Robert was in the CIA and those skills definitely GRS (a real Jason Bourne )). Black Rifle Coffee channel is owned by 5 US Special Operations Veterans IRL and they’ve talked about this movie and speculate he was US Army DELTA Force/CAG Gold Team , the literal best Operators in the world along with British SAS , then CIAs GRS. If you want to see real life Roberts , check out Blck Rifle Coffees channel it’s great.
You’ll love Equalizer 2 and 3 for sure! Love u 2 , keep up the great work!
Hello, my name is Gabriel, I'm 23 years old, I speak Portuguese and I live in Brazil. Even though I don't speak or understand English, I love your videos! You are amazing
Of course Denzel is awesome in this (as always) but Marton Csokas deserves just as much praise. That scene between them at Bob's door was a master class in acting.
Yes! It can't be easy to match Denzel, but Csokas does an amazing job holding his own opposite him.
My favorite action movie franchise. Been looking forward to your reactions for so long.
Him putting the glasses in the cup meant that the Russian guy would drink the same fate as the owner of the glasses.
"Hes like rambo but his forest is a home depot" 😂😂😂😂 bro
I *knew* you guys were gonna love this movie.
All 3 Equalizers are great!
Equalizer 2 (2018) is good too than Equalizer 3 (2023) takes it to a whole another level, better than 1 & 2. Equalizer 3 is so good that it will have you questioning whether Denzel is the villain in the movie. Insane!!!!
He shot nikolai with a pin gun. It uses typically .22 blanks to drive pins through treated lumber down to a concrete slab. We were on a job once and some metal framers were fastening metal studs onto a wall and they accidentally shot a pin perfectly through a crack in the concrete wall and went straight through the head of a receptionist sitting at her desk in the room right next to where the renovating was being done and was killed instantly. Those tools are no joke. They are classified as firearms and you need to be certified to operate them.
Fun fact it's based on an 80s TV American show with a British actor. Look into it.
Denzel was just made for this role everything about him in the equalizer trilogy is something else he's just too good ..
Preachhhh
@@justtrustash 😂
It's really too bad you skipped past one of the best scenes of the film. "He didn't come for my help. He came for permission." I love that line.
Man everytime i have bad day and i see you two post another video i instantly get in a better mood, knowing i'm going to be laughing the whole time along with you two. BEST COUPLE REACTERS on youtube! Keep it up please!!! Much love
33:47 It's probably suppressive fire. To keep the enemy pinned and panicked while someone else breaks cover to move up or flank or gain a positional advantage. The enemy will stick to cover and likely wont see where your buddies have moved to nor be in a position to shoot them effectively. It is also a way to cover a retreat, keeping the enemy pinned in place.
Every line is better when delivered by Denzel
If you've not seen it yet, you should watch 'Nobody' (2021). It's from the same creative team as John Wick, but with an emphasis on comedy in all the action. I think you'd love it.
I’ve been on a binge of y’all’s reactions and I absolutely love you both! Y’all have made me laugh and cry in the best ways. ❤
Another brilliant reaction from the best couple on UA-cam... love you guys ...😊
Hilarious reaction to one of my favorite movies. I love it so much.
Cheers you legend ❤️
Dasteh tun dard nakon!
One of the best series, can't wait to see you react to the sequels
Another Great Reaction !! Keep it Up !!! I'll be waiting on Part 2
This is based on a TV series from the 80's. In the series he actually worked as a private eye. He was a retired spy, but he was a Cold War expert at spy-craft type of spy, not a hand-to-hand combat expert. Each episode he would try to help someone who needs help that the police or other P.I.'s couldn't provide.
We gotta try to get Ash to watch Book of Eli guys. It’s up his alley in so many different ways
Denzel + Gary Oldman + Mila Kunis ... what a combo 😎👍
@@yooochoooob Can’t go wrong with that cast!
Yess he might lose his shit with the book of eli
If you love John Wick, Robert McCall and John Creasey (Man on Fire), try the 2016 movie "The Accountant" (Ben Affleck).
A film that slipped under everyones radar!
Bro she brings in the people but they stay for the amazing content that is JusttrustAsh and the amazing chemistry you both have. Great reaction! this movie is fantastic the next one is even better cant wait.
Love Ash's quip, "That was a textbook killing!" Hilarious, man! Nicolai sent a message by beating up Little John; Robert McCall is sending messages throughout this entire movie.
Yay! Finally! You 2 have made my weekend!❤
You 2 are meant for each other. Makes for spectacular entertainment. ❤️🙂
Thank you mate ❤️
so excited for yall to see the second and third one
The Equalizer 3 is in Theaters NOW .... 2 is great ... 3 is Great .... all 3 are fricken' GREAT !!
Ash, if you really wanna see Denzel being an absolute boss, then you definitely need to check out American Gangster.
You definitely should watch the sequels but if you want an amazing movie like these too you have to watch Nobody. One of the greatest movies of this style ever.
Your dynamics, that unforced natural bickering of each other (that "occasionally" comes up) is: comedy gold! That alone is worth watching!
in the original series. Robert McCall was ex CIA. and he'd put a message in the newspaper. "Gotta problem? The odds against you? I'll equalize them."
IT'S ABOUT TIME BRUH !
Let's get to these Denzel movies
Greatest actor period fight me
Speaking of Sherlock Hannah, Ash I think you and Hannah should definitely watch Sherlock Holmes 2009 film. It’s an amazing film that is underrated and not reacted to by many. Also, Sherlock is played by Robert Downey Jr. I also can’t wait for you guys to watch Equaliser 2. Love watching your reactions guys.
As Always Love Seeing Your Reactions To All These Great Movie's, Guy's
I came for the 1% and stayed for the reaction! Amazing work Ash & Hannah, your banter is hilarious. Keep up the good work!
John Wick was more stylized. Equalizer was more real.
I don't think there is such a thing as a bad denzel Washington movie.
Aaah Ash, just what I needed. I love you brother.
My brother, I got you 👊🏽
Great episode guys!
When he gave em the Pringles ash said theres nothing in there you ate it all 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 emotional damage 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is my new FAVORITE reaction from y'all!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great reaction, and Both of y'all's locks are on point.!!!
Cheers mate ❤️
IM WAITING FOR THIS. You guys should check Sicario 2, The Equalizer 2, The Maze Runner 1,2,3.
I just found out your channel and boy, I gotta say, I think I'm staying for longer. Your excitement and reactions are just so profound and amazing, it's so nice to watch! And your sense of humour too, "textbook killing" cracked me up xD
Mate that is such a nice comment!! So happy you found us, appreciate you ❤️
And definitely going to stay! Since you loved Equalizer so much I'd propose movie called Nobody with Bob Odenkirk, it follows similar-ish tropes and it's also a fun action-packed movie ^^
Awesome reaction guys. You got a new subscriber!! Looking at some of your other reactions.
Cheers you legend ❤️
I love everything about your reactions. 😂😂😂😂
Why doesn't this channel have like over a million subscribers ...you guys have the BEST reaction ever....love it😂
One day!!! And you will be there ❤️👊🏽
@@justtrustash absolutely bro....
"Give your meant a good ol rub" i had to pause it after that. Man 😂😂😂
I will never tire of how mad some of Ash's symbolisms are. Keep going, baby!
Every movie with Denzel in it is just gold. From Malcolm X and Training Day to Equalizer. He is not a typical action-movie-star but someone who gives his characters an incredible authenticity. He is just a Legend. He said that one of the worst thing he had gone through was for Equalizer. The scene with so much water took (i believe) weeks to shoot and he had to be wet for hours and was freezing.
"The fact that he has his shirt tucked in for the entire movie is even more disrespectful." That line had me dying.
Equalizer 2 is going to blow you all away. It's the BEST of the trilogy by far IMO.
Hello Guys big admirer of your work. So this franchise has two sequels. I also want to give you so facts. So the Equalizer first was a TV series here in the states back in the 80s. The Robert McCall was a former British spy that help ppl in NYC when no one else could. The dis a remake the tv series which currently still going it stars Queen Latifah in the lead role.
Lastly,Denzel Washington is for the same city im from its called Mount Vernon,NY. He one of many celebrities for here. We, citizens of Mount Vernon New York are very proud of him. He's a standard-bearer of the city of Mount Vernon. Definitely one of them. He never forgets where it comes from. He always represents mount vernon to the fullest and we love him for it
I love you guys y'all be having me and my wife crying laughing 🤣😂😂 you both gotta do "Eyes wide shut"
I think you'll find in this movie it's title means giving the underdog a person that can help overcoming the evil bad guys.
One of Denzels' movies that I think is good is Unstoppable. Not any killing or violence just 2 ordinary guys stepping up to become unlikely heros.
Dude says, "i got a past" 😂😂 u guys are funny..
Hannah's observation skills is through the roof. She already knows the backstory of my dude with just his daily routine
Amazing reaction plus don't mess this Robert 👏👏👏
"That was a textbook killing"..
That stupid pun made me sub. That was way funnier then it should of been lolll
🤣🤣😎Right?!
Love you both! the intros are literally my favourite thing on YT!
Ash is quick with puns 😂😂😂 love it!!
i absolutely love you guys ❣
I can't wait for you guys to finish this series.
The film is about being who you are. When Robert talks with Alina about Hemingway's "Old Man and the Sea", he says 'the old man's gotta be the old man. You gotta be who you are in this world". Robert avoided being who he is in this world because of a promise he made to his wife. At the end of the film, we see Robert sitting on the beach looking out at the sea. He realizes this is who HE is ~ the equalizer. That's the symbolism in the film.
So there was a tv series called The Equaliser back in the 80s and he would help normal everyday people who needed help,at the end of this film when you see him typing yes it is because someone has asked for his help….I’m hoping you will continue and watch the next 2 equaliser films…love your reactions guys 👍👍👍
GREAT flick. I have to buy 2 and see 3!!! I love re-watching stuff.
Ash, your channel is the only channel I immediately press "Like" before even watching it. Your channel always made my day.
