6:10 "Are you intimating that Max Dyson was murdered?" "Oh no, sir, I'm saying it straight out." I love that exchange.
I recall watching this episode with my dear grandfather in 1990. I have loved Columbo ever since.
I’m glad this episode is getting some recognition on this channel. It’s definitely one of the better episodes of the 90s (I know- that’s not really saying much)
Yes, I liked this one. Parallels "Now You See Him" in some respects, but it's different enough to be interesting.
The writing and acting was solid, something that wasn’t consistent in the later episodes.
Hey can we just give credit that this show was on from the 60s to 2003, that blows my mind. Also we gotta realize Hollywood goes through trends with what they show us; for example, we went through the trend of reality TV, just think about that for a minute.
@@Drummerchick2003 I suppose that’s a fair point but the shows from the 70s set such a high bar it’s hard not to acknowledge the drop in quality
Your comment is everything!
Yes one of the better ones but also not like the originals.
Idc what anyone says about this show/episode, what cannot and will not be challenged is how absolutely genius Peter Faulk is....."As you wish" 😍
This was the second (and final) time we see the lieutenant fire a gun, the first being
in "Playback" (1975) where he fired into a box of sand as part of an experiment.
I think he fired it in a mattress in troubled waters
@@nevientadross8129 Great episode! I had to double check, but Columbo asks
the murderer to shoot the mattress for him, saying "I hate guns. Besides,
I'm a bad shot. I'm liable to miss."
@@voidcadet Which means he's probably actually a crack shot.
@@Ken_Scaletta Columbo, like Falk, canonically has a glass eye. Having one eye, and thus no depth perception and a large blind area, means he cannot accurately or safely fire a gun, particularly at a moving target. He also has stated that he almost never carries a gun on him. His department likely doesn't allow him to carry a gun because if he used it, he'd be a liability and possibly hit something he didn't intend to. He also very rarely needs a gun, as he nearly always has a patrol officer with him to make the arrest (though in cases where he knows the suspect won't resist or try to flee, he takes them in himself, such as in Any Old Port in a Storm), and this is one of two, perhaps three, instances in all of Columbo where the suspect tries to kill him. And every time, he saw it coming and prepared beforehand.
@@Swindle1984 a lot of people shoot guns with the non dominant eye closed
Blake would have had to make a run for it after killing Columbo because there’d be no way of him getting away with that, but if he kept him alive he could have either hoped for the best or done a runner after Columbo left, and having more time. Columbo is incredibly lucky the killer didn’t take the safer and most sensible option of putting it on stately
But columbo switched the labels to make sure it was safe, are you saying there's a way to bypass the safety?
@@stonecoldeli79 The implication with this scene is that Blake intended to kill him, so Blake didn't use what he thought was the safety to before bringing the blade down. If he in fact decided to NOT kill Columbo (which as I was saying was the far more likely and logical option when considering the characters in context) he would have put the safety on, unknowingly turning the safety off, resulting in Columbo's death. I'm just saying he took a massive unnecessary risk in getting his head chopped off if the killer had decided to play the long game.
Yeah I wouldn't have done that.
@@MrMyers758 However, when the collar is fitted, you can see Columbo looking in turn up at both ends of it. My guess is this:
1. He made a mark that he could see from the execution position.
2. If Blake loaded it to kill, he'd allow things to run their course (as he did), since he'd reversed the settings.
3. If Columbo saw that it was lined up for "SAFE," and thus actually putting him in danger, he would have spoken up and said, "Just one more thing, sir, we have a little problem to fix first." He could do that, knowing that Blake wasn't trying to hurt him.
That's my theory. It's still a non-zero risk, but not as big as a risk as it might seem at first blush.
Columbo took a massive gamble there :) - to be honest he probably made both sides safe.
For sure, he was relying the Blake trying to kill him...
Seems like an awfully bold move by Columbo to switch the labels. I mean if the guy hadn't tried to kill him and killing a cop is not something you get away with he would have actually died.
In 1989 alone, Anthony Zerbe had *three* extreme deaths:
-Shot and went out a high window
-Guillotine
-Head blown up
In what film was the first one?
@@bonghunezhou5051 _See No Evil, Hear No Evil._ An underrated comedy starring Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder
All it takes is one Columbo clip, and im on a Columbo binge
columbo's best magic trick is to make the day go by quickly, love this show as much as i love poirot
Columbo was the ultimate master of human psychology
Columbo literally ran the risk of losing his own life in this case. An exemplary commitment to his job.
NO WAY!! I have never seen this episode, got to watch and come back and then see your review.
I love this show and all the rest. Columbo is fantastic.
Great episode between these two.
How could I have missed this one - excellent episode!
What a great episode!!! Then again, Columbo is a great series!!! 🎄🤶⛄
One of my all time favorites
l Love this episode 👍
I like this episode. 👍👍👍
Who else came here after this was referenced in “The World’s Greatest Con”?
I clapped when I saw Sopranos!
Adoro tutte le puntate❤️❤️🤗😘🐬
So the guy commits murder and only receives a gag pistol as punishment? Doesn't seem fair...
True back in the 90’s… nowadays dude probably is the victim and he’ll be out in time for dinner.
Another excellent episode with the Lieutenant on top form 👏 👌 excellent thanks for posting 👍
He is so old that I didn't think he was acting anymore.
So he reversed the labels. What if the villain decided to put it on the safe way? He seemed to show balls and to back down from accusing him and even show him some respect by putting his trust in him as a magician which could’ve caused him to do so. Whatever the case Colombo had some real balls in that situation. His wincing face as the blade came down suggested he risked his life big time in order to nail him.
Columbo doesn't carry guns, he actively avoids them. He would have had someone listening nearby to do the actual gun holding. The writers messed up with that
Wasn't a real gun
I’ve had a crush on Anthony Andrews ever since I saw him in the 1982 tv movie « The Scarlet Pimpernell ». I was 11 yrs old ❤
Don’t think I’ve seen this one. How’d I miss it?
12:36
The moment when you know Stone Cold Steve Austin watched this episode as a kid.
No real exposure to Columbo apart from vague cultural awareness.
Theses clips have been a brilliant little insight into an inspired production by all parties.
You'd make a bizarre executioner. You'd ask the condemned man if he agreed with the rope."
Watch the kid in the magic shop as he gives away his trick buy showing all the cards are the same. "practice" you haven't been doing it much then as you revealed all the cards when you did the poor cut.
Love Columbo......but this was really crazy......as much as I enjoyed watching it because it's exciting...it was somply too much risk.....crazy....
The guillotine was the most important piece of evidence in the case. How come they just left it in the magic shop and didn't remove it to preserve the evidence?
this actor reminds me of Bryan Kohberger attitude ; 2022 university of Idaho murders
12:30 when Columbo becomes the murderer
HOLY COW HE PULLED OUT A GUN??? HE HATES THOSE, HE REALLY WANTED THIS GUY GONE
*edit nevermind i watched 2 more seconds
I wonder if tthe Amazing Randy enjoyed this episode.
😅the best
Nice one
4:20 They do the blood dripping through the ceiling gimmick all over the place in crime shows and it is absolute BS.
So...assuming that Blake had gotten away with the murder, what exactly was his endgame? Taking his new government position would have eventually outed him as a fraud anyhow!
This my show
The guy looks like Jim Carrey's identical twin....even the facial expressions, the hair etc.... interesting....
Can i ask how the ending gives columbo proof?? There were no witnesses or anything. Guy could have just denyed it. Afterall, it was columbo who fkked about with the labels
2nd time Columbo used a gun
And last
First episode columbo after 1978
Yep the Return !!
Yes after 11 years last episode 2003
Good luck proving this in court.
I don't think many of his cases can be proven in court....
why is columbo getting wicked head in thumbnail
Because you have the mind of a 16 year old
Lol nah he getting some wacky sacky action im convinced
🤣🤣 appalling gotcha.
Sorry
Great episode but there is absolutely no way that Columbo would take the risk of getting himself killed just to get that last piece of evidence. If the killer had chosen the ‘Safe’ side to be smart and play it straight as Columbo’s evidence was by his own admission weak, Columbo would have died and it probably would have been classed as an accident given the label switch. If he chose ‘Danger’ as in the episode where are the witnesses to corroborate the guillotine was used? It would have been Columbo’s word versus the killer’s and the last piece of evidence would have been circumstantial. Daft ending as completely unrealistic.
Always my issue with the ending
That ending is just so tacky. The 70s episodes weren’t so cheesy.
Bruh, you apparently forgot how hammy some of the 70s episodes were... Janet Leigh's episode in particular...
Does anyone else feel the writers intended to suggest that the killer and the victim had a sexual relationship in the Ugandan prison?
As the victim says: "Try to remember what we meant to each other in that place, and what we gave each other ..."
That doesn't necessarily mean a sexual relationship between the two but it doesn't sound like the kind of language run-of-the-mill prison inmates use either. In other words it seems, to me, that they were more than friends in the slammer.
But what do you think?
I got the same vibe watching this video, but I haven't seen the full episode yet.
Oh I spotted the queercoding immediately! The flirtatious rival tones of voice. And it would make sense for the story, too. If they had been more than mentor and pupil in prison, then that would make the mentor's betrayal even more painful
Certainly sounded like it. Funnily enough, the actor who played 'Blake' (Anthony Andrews) was in a British series with Jeremy Irons where they were a pair of Horse's Hoofs...
There is a more longahand version but here is the shorter one updated, rechecked, re-researched, redone, refurbished, renewed, renovated and a bit new on top of it:
The mondo Columbus episodes are too short. The old 1950s non not guilty Von Rittenhouser mondo captious Chawin himself found guilty of 6 counts of racism TVs couldn't hold longer ones. Chowin was convicted of 6 counts of racism and accepted our sins for us. They used old CRT Catholic Ray Tubes. They used to use Central Vacuum Theory with CRT or Catholic Ray Tub technology and Motorola involvement with flypaper control to try to make a non racist product
They didn’t have Claw Technology. No harm no fowl. The proof is in the pudding.
One of if not the stupidest ending ever.
Have to agree on a logical standpoint - but it did fit the tone of the episode.
Well, if the bad guy didn't try to kill Columbo then his head would be sliced off. And that was based on the idea that Columbo wouldn't have his name in his files nor tell anyone where he was going.
If you put the guillotine collar on the “danger” way, it works the way it’s supposed to. The blade comes all the way down, through the collar and whatever is inside.
If you put the collar on the “safe” way, the blade stops inside of the top half of the collar and a second blade inside of the bottom half drops down.
A very good and very dangerous trick.
