Just imagine if this film had a better script. Michael J Duncan did great but if the script was a little better he would've been truly able to own that shit. He was a great actor. Gone before his time.
Frankly, I think this movie gets more hate than it deserves. Sure, it's not a great movie. But it did have some decent concepts. Michael Clark Duncan made a good Kingpin, and they got Daredevil and his powers mostly right. The soundtrack was very...late 90s-early 2000s? And the dialog wasn't going to win any awards. But I feel like this movie was more par for the course for similar movies of the era. I don't think it was worse than the Angelina Jolie Tomb Raider movie for example, and they gave that one a sequel!
For anyone wondering or are unsure as to why Fisk just decided to killed his bodyguards it's because they leaked evidence of him being the Kingpin of Crime after he specifically warned them not to.
If you could combine Vincent D'Onofrio's layered, sophisticated characterization with Michael Clarke Duncan's overwhelming physical menace, you would have the ultimate Kingpin.
Yeah I agree with you, but I still think that Vincent D'Onofrio is pretty intimidating in his physical appearance he is only 1 inch shorter than Clarke Duncan and when he is fighting in the series he also screams very loudly indicating that he is attacking with all his rage like a bull, just like the movie
There’s no way of telling how much further he would have gone had he not passed. He definitely would have been in the Spider-Man series, maybe even No Way Home. We’ll never know. Continue to R.I.P. Legend
@@TacticalVillain not a fan of having to watch 3 shows just to understand his arc, marvel is way too dependent now on people having no life and watching all their shit that's brutally repetitive
@@HunterMagunter Daredevil is an excellent show, one of the greatest of all time in my opinion, and the ”only” show you need to watch to understand Kingpin.
Imagine having MCD as the MCU Kingpin, that would have been awesome. D'Onofrio portrays the role marvelously to but it doesn't have the immediate "don't fuck with me" aura Michael had
@@flowrepins6663 yes lifelong abuse of those things most definitely causes sever health conditions. I don’t know if he did them or not… but most big bodybuilders did
Outside of The Big Show, Michael was the ONLY person who had the size and physicality to be Kingpin in the 2000s. Miss you big man, you were gone way too soon
Eric Coldfire Yeah Michael Clark Duncan was a good choice actually. But that being said, if they had two people with identical skills, they should choose the one who is the same colour as the comic books.
Just finished the Daredevil series on Netflix... I am honestly evenly split on both portrayals of the Kingpin. I mean, Vincent D'Onofrio did a hell of a job, and scared the shit out of me with how he could be so ruthless, both from the shadows and in plain sight. He could get people of any background to do anything for him, and if he needed to get his hands dirty, he could do it with twisted and carnal rage. He could execute a man with equal amounts of brutality with a phone call or with his bare hands. However, I think Michael Clarke Duncan could have done the exact same thing were he still alive to play the role. I mean, he kind of did it right here in this scene. I miss the big guy a lot. He was one of the bright spots of this movie, which was pretty bad in retrospect.
I think MCD could have easily nailed Ultimate Kingpin. He had Spider-Man on the ropes so often and had a charisma about him. But he also had his own bit of vulnerability that humanized him when it came to his wife.
+MrPjw5 The director's cut of this movie is actually good. If that was released into theaters instead of what we actually got, it would have been much better received.
+NuMetalFan Forever I liked both to but I always thought MCD was playing the wrong villain in the wrong comic book franchise . MCD is head to toe tailor made to have played Darkseid in the DC universe and sadly with his passing we will never get to see that and the JUSTICE LEAGUE is about to be a reality
I don't know, how he talks in this scene is just a badass introduction, regardless of how I feel about the portrayal over all. If all I got was a 2 hour movie to know about The Kingpin, I would call this good. However, my admission is that with whole seasons dedicated to Vincent, you get a better overall product.
Yeah he was awsome. To bad the movie dident turn out to good. but considering how big kingpin is in the comics Micheal was the perfect choice to play him...
Definitely agree, fantastic performance. I kinda miss when Marvel hadn't gone full hollywood yet, I mean the quality of the films was all over the place, some movies were good, some movies were bad, but at least they weren't predictable. And I like the edge, the darker, mature tone they had, but it didn't detract from the humor, they either used it sparingly or achieved humor differently, I mean the first iron man, being the first mcu film, is probably the closest to an older marvel movie with it's tone, and of course the fact they were shot on film and not digital made them inherently look good to me. I don't hate the MCU, they make good films and okay films but if you're watching them in marathon you can feel the similarities between them kind of too easily.
@@basedbattledroid3507 Honestly as much as I like the comics and the 90's cartoons of Marvel?? I'm kinda glad I grew up with Marvel movies like this, Blade (1998) & Spiderman (2002).
His version of Kingpin is better than what Disney is currently doing with Kingpin. Disney failed to make Kingpin feel like he’s in power, hopefully they change that soon.
That King Pin was in Hawkeye (which was worst than Echo) King Pin in the Infinity Saga (actually the Defenders Saga because while the shows were canon, they didn't tie in to the movies until now)
MCD is good for a 2 hour movie. But in a series, where you go into the history of the villains and the heroes, you get more story and more inside of the character with Vincent. So in terms of storytelling, the series does give you more. But this actual scene will always be pretty badass to me, even with the series on Netflix, this guy just ruthlessly crushed an attempt to expose him, while doing it cooly.
This is one of those few instances where someone is so good for a character that you overlook the race change. It wasn't done to meet a quota. It wasn't done to appease anyone. He was cast simply because he was a great fit for the character.
The director wanted someone who fit the physicality aspect but knew the skin color was wrong- he still casted him either way. Think Kingpin was supposed to be black in the original comics but Stan Lee vetoed the idea due to racial connotations.
With Wilson Fisk the race matters little. Being a big, bald, tall, kinda fatty guy who is actually a strong ass motherfucker is the the most crucial aspect of the kingpin. Not too many good actors fit in that category
As far as being a gigantic larger than life mf, I don't know anyone bigger. I just wish maybe he'd gotten a bit chubbier so he'd really sell the fat-muscular vibe of Fisk, he was too "fit", but still amazing
To be fair to this movie, Michael Clark Duncan as Kingpin was an genius casting choice. Not only does he share the physical side for Kingpin, but he is charismatic, and yet brutal. His mannerisms are spot on for the character. The only thing I wish is that his side kick Alister Smythe, but that’s just me.
"Did you know back in ancient times they would cut the tongues out of their bodyguards their first day on the job?" One of the most badass villain lines I have heard, plus how he did this was pretty intimidating as well.
I always thought about this line. Like why would you do that. That would just make hiring for bodyguards impossible since no one would want to work for you
@@ArachKing Could be accurate because in that show Spider-Man had organic webbing, Peter was studying in same college as in movie, MJ was acting in theatre and Peter failing to arrive thereand Harrys dad being dead blaming Spider-Man. Still visually very different. Kingpin in that show is 3 times size of Duncan, Harry has blonde hair and Connors is different. Also in show there is a lot of non-comic characters invented just for the show.
Duncan was the only one who read the comics and understood the type of character the kingpin truly is. Compared to everything else he is the only good take out of this movie.
This guy was the same guy who played John Coffey in Green Mile - incredible what range he had - there’ll never be a better actor of his size and frame ever again…
As of now, After watching the Marvel Netflix Series, It feels like the Kingpin Character in This Daredevil Film had like Vincent D'Onofrio's Wilson Fisk and Mahershala Ali's Cottonmouth have a baby boy.
Badass :) Michael Clarke Duncan really outdid the Kingpin character with his absolutely profound performance. The way he upholds his character as well as the pure rage while being in complete control of the situation really exudes a well established villain by Duncan’s acting capabilities.

Only problem for me was that him and Bullseye were perhaps the part I enjoyed about this movie. Affleck was terrible as Daredevil in the Theatrical Cut and mediocre in the Director's Cut. I was mostly laughing at how Bullseye and the Kingpin would cooly wade through blood, if you will.
@@kiwiangeldust6912 The Director’s Cut anyways. That actually went into his life as a defense attorney as part of the plot. Also, the changes in the Director’s Cut flowed better with the plot.
The faces and sounds that MCD make while choking the second bodyguard are terrifying as hell. I’m not usually all about race-bending a character, but he played the Kingpin role so damn well and looked like he was having fun doing it.
I usually like it when characters are kept the same racially in adaptations (i’m black myself) but to deny this casting would have been ridiculous. Listen to his voice, look at his natural size. Phenomenal
Something only a blind person would say and have their sighted friend right on UA-cam. The only pass on changing the characters racial ethnicity in an adaptation is if they still look like the character
Both this and Vincent's portrayals were amazing in their own takes on the character but I always found this version much more menacing because he seems to enjoy inflicting suffering as much as he can, especially expression after breaking his bodyguards neck
This dude went from playing gentle giant John Cofee to playing a psycho killer. Now that's talent.

Gotta love how this version goes from corrupt corporate executive to screaming mad man in a second
This is so 2000’s, I can’t take it seriously
Bow down and Pay Respect to The Kingpin or else you will be dealt with.
Kingpin is not black or white.
Kingpin is kingpin, does not matter what skin color he is.
Something only a blind person would say and have their sighted friend right on UA-cam. The only pass on changing the characters racial ethnicity in an adaptation is if they still look like the character
I love how he doesnt smoke his cigar haha
The kingpin having body guards is the sith using a light saber just there to flaunt his power he can use lesser means to deal with you
Michael killed it as Kingpin.
For those who wants the song name, it's "Lapdance" from N.E.R.D
There's a multiverse. It all counts
Love how good the Netflix kingpin is, but this one was great as well
Man he is way bigger than his bodyguards
Both this and Vincent's portrayals were amazing in their own takes on the character but I always found this version much more menacing because he seems to enjoy inflicting suffering as much as he can, especially expression after breaking his bodyguards neck
THE BEST MOVIE I EVER SEEN THE DIRECTOR'S CUT VERISON IS SPECTACULAR AND AWESOME.
The most physically accurate portrayal of what kingpin is supposed to be. Huge. Strongman physique.
The Definitive Kingpin
Rest In Peace Michael Clarke Duncan as kingpin
