Army Special Ops Rates Every 'John Wick' Movie | How Real Is It | Insider
Tu Lam, a former Special Forces soldier, rates the fighting techniques Keanu Reeves uses in the "John Wick" movies. He talks about judo and jujitsu, sniper techniques, and the ways public missions are handled in "John Wick," with Alfie Allen, Willem Dafoe, and John Leguizamo. He explains how suppressors work, the best ways to handle a knife, and how to turn anything in a room into a weapon, as seen in "John Wick: Chapter 2," with Common, Ruby Rose, and Laurence Fishburne. He compares his own experiences with urban shootouts, working with military dogs, and fighting on a motorcycle to "John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum," with Halle Berry, Ian McShane, and Anjelica Huston. Finally, he breaks down defensive driving, clearing a room, and fighting on stairs in "John Wick: Chapter 4," with Bill Skarsgård and Donnie Yen.

I hope to see mr. Lam analysing more action movie scenes in the future.
He wont, unfortunately Mr. Wick saw this,.... ✏️ Hold on yes someone mentioned J. Bourne.......!!!! 💡 ✏️ Vs . 🖋️......what?!??!?! Ohh snap!!
Thanks for watching!
Hopefully with less cuts. Let the man talk
@@christianromero6604 ☠☠💀💀
I do too.
Just the fact he uses a two handed grip on his pistol and has to stop to reload makes The John Wick films more realistic than 90% of action movies.
And there were very few moments of "after this the fight should have been over". Just the fact that you don't have two guys going at either each other for 10 minutes straight is such a needed change in movies. Still great he did not go out of his way and kept rating it from a professional point of view and not relative to other movies.
Agreed. John Wick really nailed the realism of gun handling. Tactically, not so much but it's a movie so they need to make it look cool lol. It's actually created a small wave of newer action movies taking reloading into account along with ADS'ing instead of ridiculous hip firing. A very welcome change thanks to JW.
i saw Sabotaged recently and Arnold kept firing and the pistol never ran out. John Wick has ruined some old movies for me
i completely agreee
@@Tango8787 The one old action movie trope they kind of have to stick with is henchmen coming in one or two at a time. If you were a group of bad guys and you're up against John Wick, just open up on him from 10 different positions an there's nothing he can do. They conveniently keep the henchmen he needs to deal with at a slow trickle.
ME: [mouth full of nachos] yeah, what he needs to do is maximize coverage
"Doors and corners," I mumble, shaking my head, chips crumbling out of my mouth
You need to cut the pie.....mmmmm pies
Me reading your comments drinking a soda
Hey, he's not a spokesperson, he's a professional warrior. Not everyone is skilled at public speaking.
This is hilarious. Bravo 😂
I think what youre missing Mr. Lam is John Wick is a man of focus, dedication and sheer will
Something you know very little about.
I once saw him kill three men with a pencil
A PENCIL ✏️! WHO DOES THAT?
Lmao
Facts
I love how Keanu basically created his own reload style on the movies not only is he’s the kindest person to exist but also talented and handsome
if only i was gay
He did not create that reload! Very common among trained shooters.
@@hubriswonkbut not actors my friend I have never seen it in action flicks before Mr Reeves
As much as I enjoy these videos, I will never go to a John Wick movie looking for realism 😂
The way he operates each firearm is fairly realistic. Just obviously not the situations he's put in to use them.
I just like that they don't shake the camera around.
EASY! "J Dubs"/ K.R" wldnt do that (Think N.P.H 😅😅)
the movie itself aims for realism.
Agreed
I though I recognized Tu Lam, then I realised he was my personal COD skin, such a cool way to find out he is a real person!
Ronin is the name of his COD operator skin…he’s in codm and MW2019
And 2022 he was added in S2
He’s a loser
hes also a bit of a liar and known exaggerator. Its not hard to look it up
@@fauxtool952a bit of a liar? 😂 didnt he tell everyone he was delta force? Then he shot himself in the foot
I enjoy John Wick because it blends an enjoyable amount of realism while still giving it the Hollywood flair. It makes it a good watch.
First guy to give actual real low ratings. Respect for that and explaining your points
"John is a man of focus, commitment, sheer will... something you know very little about. I once saw him kill three men in a bar... with a pencil, with a @#$%#^@ pencil."
You will do nothing cause you can do nothing
@@cheyennesantana1995 so get the f**k outta my sight...
Terrible line
Exactly with a pencil I can trow pencil but I never kill someone with a f pencil 😂 John Wick is legend
Grew up in a rough neighborhood, been a paramedic, worked as a bouncer, and worked some executive protection. I've seen a dude killed with a pencil. Well, saw afterward when our ambulance picked him up. He had 15-20 puncture wounds. 5-7 of those in the neck. Don't know exactly, that would be the purview of the ME. But, it does happen and a pencil cab been a weapon.
When I was doing my training in the British Army we did hand to hand combat training with white T shirts on and marker pens. No matter how strong you were, no matter how quick you were, no matter how well you mastered the techniques, everyone was covered in marker pen. These pens represented knives. The exercise was to point of the sheer futility in entering into a knife fight, and that it should only ever be a final resort, both parties will end up with fatal wounds. If someone comes at you with a knife, don’t for one second thing technique will save you, real life isn’t the movies. The only way to give yourself the best chance of survival is to get away, fast. If you’re being robbed, give them what they want.
Don't do knife fights wearing a white t-shirt then. Cuts are less fatal than stabs -- duh.
@@TheTangeriner there is always one. Sometimes three. Usually two. But there is always one.
This is my thought. If someone comes at you with a knife back off and leave. If stuck look for something that can keep the person away.
@@rayeasom right?
@@orinorio1mace stops a knife fight instantaneously. I always keep mace on me.
I just finished my 27 hour movie about a sniper mission. Test audiences absolutely hate it. Mr. Lam: I give it a 10 out of 10 for realism.
Man, this was one of my favorite "How Real Is It" episodes. He is, obviously, knowledgeable, but also did a great job explaining everything.
I have difficulty hearing, I couldn’t hear a word he said. Bad video.
@@GardenGuy1943 Get some hearing aids.
overall comment: Keanu is a beast
Facts
Yeah
athletic and fast, was trained well, works harder
Tu Lam's backstory is incredible. His mother saved his life leaving Vietnam. He was only a baby.
Tu Lam is an absolute LEGEND. Someday I hope to take just one of his classes. He's a real one.
I actually got to meet tu lam one time and i can personally say he is super kind, humble and overall a really great person
I’ve been wanting to take his classes and read his book that’s releasing in the next month or two
Yes I bet defo knows his stuff yet humble as
Being this well trained must ruin action films knowledge can sometimes hurt civilian life I bet as ex pub manager bar scenes get me every time 😮
I will always remember him for the white guy impersonation. Comedy gold.
Did shoot himself in the foot though.
I think Tu Lam's biceps mocked me several times during the video 🤔
and the tattoos
Is it because they are small?
Indeed weird, I expect marathon runners instead I get show people.
@@GardenGuy1943why are all your comments hating on this guy?
@@dathunderman4 because he hasn’t fought in a real war
Love how he doesn’t use huge highly unnecessary tactical language for 90% of the vid like almost every other tactical video on KZhead. Once he makes a point he just ends the sentence like a normal person.
Editing?

Been watching tu lam for years now. He’s a fantastic teacher and an endless source of knowledge on subjects such as this. Love to see this crossover, great stuff guys
Even though that is a practice firearm, this guy NEVER puts his finger on that trigger. A true professional.
He shot himself in the foot on a military range he wasn't authorised to be on a couple of years back lol
General gun rule: whether you completely take apart the gun and do not load a single bullet in it, whether it’s fake, BB gun, real, you always treat the gun as if it’s loaded.
@@lukemcshane7959don’t forget about his NDs in his own training videos on his channel too.
@@haydenhidey8698ALWAYS! It's not a toy. In full truthfulness it is a instrument of unaliviging someone. Taken extremely for granted.
He literally does at 13:10 and other points in the video 😂
To have a movie scene validated by an actually experienced Soldier well trained in all aspects, it really shows the beauty and effort taken by the film to achieve realism which cannot be done in cinema, but to bring out and tap into the maximum potential possible to bring realistic combat in a film is a realm untouched by many other films, so John Wick series stand clear
Yeah, he's so well trained that he shot himself in the foot.
@@coryv5679it happens bud, yes even to special forced and highly trained guys.
Mr. Lan looks like the real life Spec. Ops badass. Its awesome how well he explains. I wish I could meet someone like him and learn the amazing training and experience he have.
he aint it. he shot himself in the foot, and lied about it. he's a shill.
@@voodoofire34 He is a liar and a fraud - not someone you want to meet.
@@BadBed1982 i completely agree
The whole thing with John Wick movies is yes, he uses solid techniques with unconventional stuff, but in the end, it started as a revenge movie. John Wick, as a character, never approached any of the kills 100% tactically. He had a vendetta. So, yes, there would be some areas he fell short on. I think that's what made the series so good.
At 2:53 John Wick didn't do a triangle. He did a standing pendulum sweep the major difference is he is rotating the opponent while dropping to the ground to get on top of them
And 2:38 is a 2 step flying kimura but eventually transcended into a guillotine/triangle choke. That's the beauty of jiujitsu.
sumi gaeshi
jamie pull that up.
@@azuthallmao
BINGO !!!! Winner winner Chicken dinner !!!!
Yes, anybody who served and trained in MOUT operations can tear it down, but what I really enjoy is not so much the fact of how flashy the scene is, the whole franchise worked with some of the best stuntman from multiple parts of the world and you can see the effort an love they put, not only in the combat scenes, but in the movie as a whole. It's a "Gun-Fu" quadrilogy, and they stepped up the intensity on every movie. I give mad props to Keanu for being humble and learning how to manipulate different weapons, be it firearms, knifes, etc, truly learning martial arts techniques, and the whole stuntmen department; they had incredible ones and extremely seasoned, experienced and talented ones. Edit: Tear down some scenes and think how many takes it should have taken, making sure it looked semi-realistic but great on camera, while also trying their best to prevent injuries all across the board. For those who practice martial arts, when we do sparring with someone. We don't wanna hurt anybody in training, which means the moves are not "complete", but for obvious reasons. I've been doing martial arts for quite some time now, and the worst injury I've had are dislocated fingers, 1 sprained ankle and a knee to the testicles, which was a complete accident! Quite literally, they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. But nothing that has been disabling to the point of lowering my performance over time.
Number 5 is coming john wick isnt dead. They waited to see how part 4 did in the theaters before deciding to do part 5. How if john is dead? Because john isnt dead. They faked his death. He knew the only way this would end, would be for the world to think john wick is dead. They hint at part 5 at the end of part 4, when they are having a funeral service for john. They ask where do you think he is? Then the next moment the dog turns its head and looks right at someone. but its off screen. This was a similar ending to john wick 3, where they threw john off the roof, and the dog knew how to find him. The dog would of done the same thing, but he was on a leash, so he couldnt go to his master. John wick is alive. Sicne they green lit it and its been annouced, and is coming in a few years after keanue does a few new projects. John wick would never die in a duel. In fact, he purposely lost, so he could fake his own death. At least thats how it seems to me. unless john wick 5 is a prequel. But I doubt it, the dog knew john was alive. PRobably attending his own funeral. They just made that ending in case part 4 didnt do well. But it was one of the biggest hits of last year. So John wick 5 is coming.
Knowing very little of value regarding real world tactics like this it's very interesting listening to someone who know what he/she is talking about. Very refreshing change from all the online experts excelling at Call of Duty 😁 This was very good!
It's always great when a professional explains what happens during intense movies and tell the realism.
Have seen Tu Lam on a couple of other shows as a commentator; knowledgeable breaks things down so it is well-explained. This was a fun video to watch.
Thanks for watching!
ANYONE CAN BE A CRITIC
Do not underestimate the Baba Yaga
Well, he's not Baba Yaga. He's the one you send to kill Baba Yaga.
so, he was a marine?
It's supposed to be "babay" or "babai" as boogeyman in the first place. Baba Yaga is something completely different. They messed this up.
@venator4838 yep, baba Yaga is 3 old women in a chicken footed house in swamp. Maybe domamuy bc he is actually in the house but he is very little..домовой makes it a lil better
@@venator4838 yup. the "babayaga" is an old witch with big, saggy tits who screams in the night. It's such a dumb name too.
My favourite part of the John Wick franchise is that John Wick has five toes on each foot and only two feet. That means he has ten toes, split up over two feet. Also: John Wick wears shoes when he leaves the house.
ONLY 9 FINGERS, BUMMER
I love the way T.Lam clearly differentiates between the not-so-great tactics, from K.Reeves trained moves, giving the credit to him. I am sure he saw tons of flaws in KR, but he showed constant respect and appreciation for the actor's work, keeping the interview so positive and constructive!
Tu lam is a national treasure for us. Bravo sir. Perfect example of a warrior with integrity and the ability to destroy everything and everyone.
The dudes been caught lying about a bunch of stuff lol he has no integrity
@@KipKil1iganyeah he lied about shooting himself on a flat range and ended a bunch of careers, caused the post to lock down and a panic.
Not an ounce of integrity in that man. Constant lies. Shot himself in the foot on a range he did not have authorisation to be on.
@@BadBed1982 wow you seem to be jealous or just upset you have never been in a position of danger unless burning your hot pocket in moms basement is close.
@@BadBed1982 spot on. Dude is a liability, liar and d-bag.
Tu: "it's about surprise, speed and violence, right?" Me: "right*
Me: "Try not to shoot yourself in the foot, Tu"
NO
ONLY IF YOU SPEED UP THE CAMERA
I could listen to Mr. Lam analyzing action scenes all day, he should definitely be invited to do more analysis videos on action scenes from other movies 👍👍
I live this series, and I’ve learned a lot. No disrespect to the others before him, but Tu Lam gives the most concise and in depth breakdowns. It’s fantastic. Hope to be a student of his irl someday.
One minor thing to raise; I'm pretty sure Keanu didn't train with Taran until John Wick 2. Probably why they used a HK for the first one rather than using a TTI.
Liar
He trained with Steven Segal for the first movie
@MetalizedButt Unlike the other one just calling me a liar with no proof, at least that one's amusing. Not enough shoving or flailing though ;)
@@GardenGuy1943 Idiot
Huh. I remember watching his training on Taran's YT, but I don't remember if that was before the first one or the second one. Pretty sure it was the first one tho.
07:48 well, here the opponent knew John and knew his tricks
Thanks for your unique viewpoint, Mr. Lam. I very much enjoyed you giving your input on your perspective. Also, thank you for your service, from another veteran, although one with much less experience, training, natural talent, knowledge, time in service and a hundred other things that make you the man you are. I would feel better in any scenario that I can think of if you were the guy watching my six.
real vets don't thanks other vets for their service. that shits gay af. not to mention this guy is liar and a tool. reevaluate yourself and learn to pick better "role model" or losers who claim to be delta when they aint
Thank you for your service ❤ Awesome knowledge base
For those who don’t know, Tu Lam was the combatives instructor in Delta Force and served in C-Squadron while he was in SF CIF company
He has almost real combat experience…just training…he’s full of S^&*
Why not 1v1 him then?
Since when did whistle foot serve in Delta?
@@renatolaranja52 I’m glad you know that story too lmao but he was there combatives instructor then he augmented with C-Squadron as a assaulter in Iraq. CAG was needing bodies after taking heavy casualties so they went to SF CIF teams and started snatching those. Mike Glover was another one but he actually went through CAG selection and OTC
@@wattsmichaele last I checked, he did his fair share of fighting in Iraq… How many combat deployments did you have on a SF team there Super Trooper?
I'm not questioning this man training and experience...I to served in the US ARMY as a combat Engineer ( Combat Support)and Mr. Lam is talking a lot of team movement support and cover. I may be wrong but it seems like what is being missed is that John Wick is a loner, a sole fighter...he's one of those characters that prefers to basically work alone. It shows in everything he does to include his life...He's a loner.
Yeah I think he was rating too many of the situations based on what you'd do with a team/in realistic military operations rather than a lone gunman
Very agreed.
Agreed, was my thought aswell. And to say that when he had other with him they should have worked as a team shows he hasnt seen the actual movies, considering the fact that he never truly "works with someone as a team". They are all asassins who work alone but was forced to do a job "together", not as a team. So feel like it was a very unfair rating.
Not using the teammate you have on hand is foolishly ignoring the weapon available, and that's the whole point.
honestly man i was thinking same thing he solo he cant have snipers on roofs and team playing
I think the one thing that they deserve credit for and shows the training well is the constant forward motion, closing the distance, keeping the momentum and always keeping opponents on the defensive and reacting recklessly versus taking control of the situation.
Good to see Tu getting more exposure! I've been following him for years. As a warrior, he's as legitimate as they come. Highly recommend learning about his story. Glad he's on our side...
22:50 buddy said i like going for the eyes and the throat like it was a casual thing. Straight killer, yet humble warrior. Glad hes on our side.
I'd rather someone who doesn't shoot themselves in the foot on my side. Someone with integrity - Unlike the liar Tu Lam.
May I request a moment of silence for my friend Tanner? He started taking a shot every time he heard “In the special forces”, but he didn’t make it 10 minutes before collapsing…
Learned alot wish he liked the movies more though. Appreciate his expertise however, and thank you for ypur service
Every single way Keanu killed someone, “We were trained to do that in school” - Tu Lam
Way to go! Need more Mr. Tu Lam
Do you go over the pros and cons of shooting your own foot?
Whistle foot is legendary!
YEAH...................................
This movie analysis is a class. Thank you sir!
YOURE GAY
I don't watch John Wick for realism. It's a shooter action film that satisfies my desire to see stuff get blown up. 😂
Great video. Real life shooting is more trigonometry, more logic/thought process around safety and protection.
wow, Tu Lam giving no slack on his critique. o7
JEALOUSY
This was awesome. Props to all you heros. Also the pen comment was gold
John Wick is more "Whiskey" than "Beer". Enough realism to gain respect, but enough Hollywood to made it badass
They finally recognized my man here
Couldn’t have picked a more complete SOLDIER!!! Followed his career a long time. Salute Brother
Don’t forget he’s a liar and shot himself on a flat range. He is a running joke in Special Forces
A liar and a fraud who shot himself in the foot - I guess we have very different ideas of what makes a good soldier. A foot that whistles in the wind is not something you should salute.
ARE YOU A MARINE ?
@@user-zx5fo5xx3o I’m not
Around the 6:00 mark, I'd love see a video with one of these experts that really breaks down the difference between sniping and simple long-range marksmanship. When I was in the Army, I scored as a Sharpshooter in basic marksmanship (mid-grade), which means I could hit a target at 300m with iron sights. I would never refer to that sort of shooting as sniping. In the scene in question, John Wisk wasn't sniping, he was just shooting long range, and he had a scope. Bracing the rifle with the bipod would have been more stable, but for the shots he was taking, I don't know if a full-on sniper set-up would be needed. It's not a lot different than a lot of people do while deer hunting and firing off the shoulder. But......I'm not an expert. Which is why I said a video talking about the difference would probably help dispel some of that "Hollywood" confusion for audiences.
👏👍 Great breakdown & fun movies! This man knows his tactics. Cool video
Best one I've seen. Lam's the man.
guy belongs in the circus with his tattoo's and monkey mentality
I did a 3 day training for knife, pistol, and carbine with Tu a few years ago. He is most definitely the right pick to critique John Wick. Easily one of the most dangerous dudes on the planet. Probably among the kindest as well
Nice! During the knife training did he train with you or was he hands off instructor? I check his website occasionally and it appears he does not offer courses anymore. I have taken a number of tactical courses and I would like to get training from him eventually.
@hubriswonk that's unfortunate he hasn't been doing them. He was the primary, hands on instructor for the course. He would demonstrate directly with students. If you do end up attending a course, expect him to put you on the ground.
@@alexc4377 Nice! Often the instructors don't roll with the students for various reasons. I train combat sports and occasionally roll with Army Combatives guys and would really like to train with Tu.
Very well done. True pleasure to see such hq video
We need more vids with this guy! He’s really knowledgeable and entertaining
10:39 but he had body armour on. I do not know if you have seen the movies or not but the suits he wears are "bullet proof"
I think even with armour a gun barrel been forced into your gut and multiple shots your still going down. Whether or not the armour would save you from an attack like that I don’t know but you’re definitely going to be on the ground in agony.
@@ShanesAutos I know body armour can be penetrated but the guy didn't even mention the body armour suit at all
@@zahidshabir4038The body armour was only the suit jacket, the shirt underneath that Wick was shot through was not bulletproof at all. this is why Wick pulls his jacket over himself when he is shot at, not just to protect his head, but his body as well because the shirt is just a shirt.
@@ch4z_bucks sorry but that's inaccurate. The shirts are also bullet proof. The reason you see John pulling his jacket over is because it adds another layer (probably thicker) of protection and also means the impact wouldn't be directly against his body. FYI, if you are interested there is this KZheadr that spent basically a year building a John Wick bullet proof suit. Worked pretty well, although clearly in the movie it's implied the performance of the armor surpass reality.
@@HadrienLBB the shirt is not bulletproof. Going back to John wick 2 when he is given the suit, the tailor says that the armour is sewn in between the fabric and the lining, shirts do not have linings, jackets and trousers do, that is hint 1 that the shirt itself is not bulletproof, just the trousers and jacket. Next is the point they make about the armour being completely bullet proof meaning that pulling the jacket over the shirt wouldn't offer any additional protection, if the shirt was indeed armoured, but we know it isn't because if the shirt was armoured like the jacket and trousers then it wouldn't have been penetrated by the pistol like it was, John takes close range shots and from larger calibres to the jacket and they don't penetrate, he takes a shot to the shirt and it goes through no problem, clearly it is not armoured in any way. You'll probably bring up the knife fight scene and say his suit can't be completely bulletproof because a knife penetrates his suit trousers. The reality is that bulletproof does not equal knife proof, real Kevlar body armour is itself pretty poor against knives unless layered because tackling knives is a different beast to stopping a bullet. I have seen the video of hacksmith I believe it was, recreating the bulletproof suit, it is a fun video but does not itself prove that Wick's shirt was bulletproof when the movie shows very clearly that it is not, at the very least not to the same degree as the jacket and trousers which were definitely the only elements of the suit to have the special "completely bulletproof" armour layers. The shirt was most likely based on what we see in the film, just a shirt.
Incredible action 😮
10:39 You underestimated him. John Wick is a man of focus, commitment and sheer fckin will.
Thank you for your service Mr. Lam!
In conclusion: John Wick has the most realistic Hollywood action capabilities more so than any.
I would like to see a professional hitman react to these movies and say things like "that's the technique" and "that's what I would've did" (please tell me people get this reference)
A professional hitman is def not trying to expose their identity on KZhead
What was the reference?
I get the reference lol
I've definitely seen what's thays from but I can't recall the name Also, spec ops guys kind of are professional hitmen.
@@thinkinyblinko6666 haha, true. They are.
Fun fact, Keanu Reeves did several months of ‘tactical’ firearms training to get his gun work to look THIS good in the movie.
Great video, I really enjoyed your analysis but I was waiting to hear at the end: did you enjoy those movies??? 🤔
This was really good.
Shoutout to Tu Lam ! Real soldier 🫡
more like a real liar and shill.
YEAH, .................A LEGEND IN HIS OWN MIND
I want to thank Mr. Lam for his clear explanations or imputise on body, vision, and weapon posititoning. Every threat incident may be unique but there are certain more conservative stances, expectations of contact that I liked how he explained them just conversationally. His discuss on why the knife grip/stance in a more closed space is a perfect example, plus others discussing Wick exposing his back area with an uncleared room, or proper offensive, defensive shooting angles. I'm an excellent shot with rifle or pistol, but an enemy that know's how to stay hidden, covered and stay patient, may undo any advantage I have. Keep learning everyone!
Perfect observation and explanation
I love how he just eviscerated John Wick. Also makes you realise how difficult it is to pull off these moves and survive. Respect.
He kept using we (Team) annnnd there's just 1 against many ...Rule changer we can all aspire to strive for Keanu's skills in real life and be humble
I'm glad you was honest with this. I've seen so many and heard of so many just praise these movies and say it was done great and so on. "He had training" what people say
He stated how a scene in John wick 3 reminded him of Morocco when ironically the exact scene he was breaking down was in Morocco. Love this guys honest opinions
wasnt expecting to see ronin! awesome video, hope to see lam back
You should also try and rate all of Steven Seagal's movie in future. 😂
Lmao, YES @ this. His movies are so bad in terms of realism and...just bad, in general lol. Also, he may very well be a fraud even in terms of applicable martial arts because he has never been shown really to live spar at full speed with those who were not his students.
Ironically Aikido is used in the John wick movies
@@Tman001100 Steven Seagal is MORE REAL than Keanu Reeves is....that I 100% guarantee everybody! Tussey Custom 1911 .45s, Cold Steel knives and swords, Kershaw knives etc etc etc.
Should pay more attention to the Gerber Mk II fighting knife in Under Siege. Spec Ops stuff......Men In Green Faces! Also Seagal's best films don't utilize relentless and endless CGI like the John Wick movies do.
John Wick is unrealistic and has way too much CGI for me and my realism tastes. I'd rather watch Clint Eastwood in Dirty Harry. At least that is believable!
Tu Lam's the real thing!!
YEAH............THING THAT DANGLES BETWEEN GUYS LEGS EXCEPT FOR YOU
This is the most realist look at action film I’ve seen this dude is sick
The knife demonstration was best of the best! The fluidity and technique is mesmerising
I wanna hear this man rate Nobody.
LAM IS A 1
Ronin!!!!
Another hero God bless you young man for fighting for if country God bless you always been safe always 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great info. Well done Mr. Lam.
What kind of wristwatch is Tu Lam wearing? Looks sharp.
Looks like a Sub, no-date.
Looks like a Rolex Submariner
10:31 man just casually admits to a war crime...
Ssshh. I don't want you to 'have an accident' next month.
would love to see Tu rate The Terminal List series. Lots of great stuff in there to watch!
Tu is so good at giving a breakdown on what's going on, for sure invite him back.
Did y'all ask Tu about his foot?
Is it true that he blew his foot up during training?
@tonynamnguyen2893 Then lied and said somebody came onto base and shot him and fled. Then when the investigation came, and his dudes lied for him, they got reprimanded.
10:28 I hope it's been a long time since you dressed up as a journalist or photographer. You are risking my life and the lives of other reporters. The world needs independent press to be able to work in war zones as well
Just made this comment a while ago "10:32 Bro just confessed to U.S. Special Forces committing war crimes. Pretending to be a non-military target such as a journalist/reporter or wartime correspondent is against the prohibition of perfidy. Perfidy is a war crime and is classified as such most importantly in Rule 37 of Additional Protocol 1 to the Geneva Convention and at least 40 other international human rights laws and presidential/executive orders." Was hoping someone else would catch that.
@@Shantanushetty33 This thread needs more attention.
I also reacted quite strongly to that comment. Not a journalist myself, but the work they do is important. And doing what this guy did puts them all at even higher risks.
This is also why, when cops like me say we never know who is armed and who isnt, we arent lying or overeacting until we can confirm that fact.
@@zackmayo7928 Peopel have a right to be armed, and cops like you act like it's a crime.
Let's go!! Super happy to see Ronin talking about John Wick.
Great breakdown and you're a true American badass. Thank you for your service. Peace favor you
i love how dude explains it but his analysis is from a team focused tactical standpoint.. John Wick (the character) is alone and have to take everything into consideration whilst fighting a bunch of other assassins who does not care about the rules. These "bad guys" are not Special Forces or anything like that.. They're assassins with one goal, unlive John Wick.. For example, where the girl pulls the girl out of the violin, she does not care whether the Army or Special Forces wont pull out a gun in public because she is simply not one of them (i hope you get what I'm saying) Also, "john Wick" is only human, we cant do everything perfect all the time.. just my 2 cents on his analysis
Agreed with you. I think Tu's assessment is heavily biased (although very interesting) and somewhat misconstrues the context.
@@HadrienLBB Thank you for wording it properly ❣... and yes. I think he would be more fit to review/rate shows/movies that involes what he is/was doing for the Army
He makes me want to do bicep curls
YEAH....................WORK ON YOU SKINNY ARMS

Incredible. Dude just casually talking about blowing up cars, using pens in fights, and the effective ways to stab or shoot people like it's just another Tuesday. Truly there are dangerous men who have done (or are doing) things most only see on the screen - it never ceases to amaze me that there's a side to society (and the world) that most of us never even see.
Mr. Lam thanks so much for this breakdown; extremely informative for me as a stunt actor! P.s I think you’d make a wicked action hero! Hope to see you in an action movie soon Blessings to you and your family 🙏🏽
