The scene where Julia returns in Fallout and the following exchange is one of the best scenes in the entire franchise. It's so unexpected and unlooked for that it jolts you into attention. And then the "friendly" exchange afterwards where Julia realizes that the reason he's here is because something horrible is about to go down in an incredible showcase of showing emotion without explaining it.
When she turns and sees that Ethan isn't there by himself and the rest of the crew is standing there, looking ready for a mission, and the reality sinks in and she realizes that she and the entire camp is in IMF's area of operation.
@@HenkkaArtGames i love that she says "are you here for work or pleasure?" and he says "work" and her face drops
@@nelsonwins94 "I'm working" was my favorite line in the film.
The rare franchise that literally gets better with every movie. Unbelievable how they pulled that off so far. Here's hoping MI7 and 8 stick the landing.
If you think 2 is better than 1 you don’t watch movies very much…
Oh trust me MI7 hit the mark
@@kristers4540 I loved it!!
@@kristers4540it does deliver might be my favourite in franchise because it's very similar to Metal Gear Solid 2 game
@@serpent32Well, maybe if you don't take this so literally, but nevertheless MI2 isn't horrendous, it's just the worse of the franchise
This video must have taken an inordinate amount of time to put together. Thanks from all of us.
Absolutely agree! ❤
😂😂😂😂😂
"That's Henry Cavill reloading his arms" is the best line of this video
That and "... along with Nazi Sympathizer Kanye West." 🤣
But that's what this move is generally referred to as. Or reloading his biceps.
@@gavinderulo12 I think it was Tom Cruise who coined the phrase on the press tour. :)
This franchise has it all; Action, suspense, humor, romance, death-defying stunts, and of course... Ving Rhames 😎
RIP Philip Seymour Hofman. For me he was the best villain in the Mip series. An outstanding actor who went way to soon.
MI 3 and Hoffman is where the series really finally figured out what it was about. Not solely about one individual ala James Bond, but a team of specialized individuals that use their skills to accomplish a mission.
Yes Seymour Hofman.. r.i.p
I'm in the minority here, but I found his character undercooked. Hoffman did his best with what's written, and what's written just isn't good enough.
YES!
17:35 I remember watching this in theaters in 96’ the entire audience was so into it they were dead quiet during the computer room heist scene, worried their loud voice would set off the alarm. The movie was that engrossing. And that theme song was so iconic and cool , after the movie I wanted to be a spy so badly, I put binoculars in backpack and snuck around my neighbors backyards and started “spying”.
I like how your excitement increases as you tell the plot of each movie. You can tell from Ghost Protocol forward you get really into the films.
Best thing to ever happened to me was my parents bringing me to see Mission Impossible 5 in theatres. I wasn’t a MI fan or even knew about it until I saw the fifth one. Everything about it was so goddamn amazing, the opening, the MI theme song, the action, the music, the story, everything just works if it was your first MI flick and it was only followed by fallout. That was truly when this franchise peaked.
I had been avoiding them because I loved the TV show so much and had been disappointed by other TV-show-to-film ventures. After having been convinced to give them a chance, I decided that they aren't anything like the show, but I really love the movies as their own thing as well.
@@Aileil mi 1 was the closest to the show
If you watch all of them, the first has the best overall story, but the spectacle peaks at the 4th film, Ghost Protocol.
Tom Cruise's hair in Mission Impossible II is legendary!
Hell yeah
especially in MI2, rugged not clean but much more good looking
It looked pretty similar in GP. To me, it's his best hairdo. But the slightly shorter one he had in RN looks nice too.
Kinda hoping it returns in the final instalment
His Hair alone in that movie should have won an Oscar
I truly think Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg,Rebecca Fergeson and Christopher Mquarrie have been the best Additions to the Series with the Cast of characters being as well rounded and likable to Watch as Ethan Hunt and Mquarrie's directing truly taking this series to the next level as it's own thing rather then being a Bond Clone. Rebecca Ferguson was also the best female Spy character to come into the series and it's satisfying to see her return in each sequel.
Yes Rebecca bring a good ambience to the movie,I hope she comeback to life the next sequel pls
I feel Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol was when MI broke away from being like Bond
Such a unique movie franchise, I’m so glad they are gaining new fans every day
I guess it’s “unique” if you discount the fact that it’s literally based on a TV show from the 1960’s
@@gregbors8364 as far as I’m aware Jim Phelps never climbed the Burj khalifa, performed a halo jump or held on to the side of a jet
@@kurtwagner350 You’re absolutely right. Ethan Hunt “climbed” the Wiz Khalifa, making Ghost Protocol *the most unique film of all time.* I eat my former words
@@gregbors8364 it’s not the most unique movie of all time but they are very unique films in terms of the action genre
Thank goodness for Christopher McQuarrie. He completely revitalized things for this series.
I think Brad Bird was the one who did that.
Legit one of the best modern action franchises, the fact that it's been going for well over 20 years now is so incredibly impressive. Great video bro, genuinely really fucking good.

This movie came out when I was in middle school. I forgot how I did it but I got the theme song onto a cassete tape that I would take with me and my walkman to school. Great presentation!!! Makes me want to rewatch the series
It's insane that you don't have more subscribers with the high quality retrospectives you make
Yeah agreed I seriously binged all of them in like 3 days lmao
Was so surprised when I read that in the comments. Like how? I even thought that this must be a school project or thesis or something because it's so much work for something free.
This video certainly got me to subscribe, so there's one.
Rome wasn't built in one day buddy
I'd say the channel is hidden. Normally if I find a new channel like this, KZhead just floods my "watch next" with their videos. That is not the case with this channel. Probably for using loaded language when talking about Kanye. There are certain words that the algorithm doesn't like.

Someone (himself?) Should make a retrospective on his retrospectives.
I watched the first 6 movies for the first time over the course of the last week and watched Dead Reckoning Part 1 yesterday in a Dolby cinema. I absolutely loved it, it’s one of my favourite franchises now. They’re so fun, so epic and Tom Cruise, whom I haven’t really watched all that much of, is incredible in all of them. Thank you for making this video! It gives me another 2hrs of Mission: Impossible to consume 😅
Tom Cruise is absolutely INCREDIBLE. Not just for these gorgeous, intricate stunts but for his discipline, worth ethic, and passion for filmmaking and the fans of movies. He is one of a kind and we are all so lucky to watch him on screen! There is no question about how justified and right he was to (kindly) raise his voice…he was funding the project, paying for the crew who broke rules thus endangering the entire production and the rest of the folks on set. He had every right to lose his cool… which he still did so with absolute respect for the set and those around him. He’s the man ❤
MI 3 is my personal favorite film of the franchise. The action and plot is honestly amazing for the franchise
Agreed, I LOVE the franchise but 3 is the one where I care about the emotional stakes as much as the pure excitement. It's perfect
Mi3 is badass. Like Goldfinger it's the movie that nailed what the franchise is.
I didn’t like 3. 2 was my favorite until 5
If you think 3 is better than 6, its time to get a brain scan. 😉
I don't especially enjoy the third movie, but that's the great thing about the M:I series: there's so much variety that every viewer can find one suited to their tastes. And that scene on the bridge is PERFECTION.
Aw, you passed over the head bomb at the end of MI3. It's my favorite part and I'm tensed the whole time. his wife stepping up to take on some goons on her own, while being smart and resourceful. And the complete trust that Ethan has to put in her is the emotional peak of the movie.
That was easily one of the absolute BEST videos I've ever seen. I'm a content creator and know all about the process of editing, writing dialogue etc. I can't even begin to imagine how long that took you to put together, but you should be EXTREMELY proud!! There are not enough superlatives to say. Congratulations on this.
This is hands down one of the very best retrospectives I have ever seen… I was hooked from the beginning.. in fact, you had me more hooked and on the edge of my seat then most Netflix productions lately… well done… well done…
This video is just as wonderful as the MI franchise itself. Didn't even notice the 2hrs pass by. This truly deserves a million views or more
I can't even imagine how hard it would be for you to make these retrospective videos, I really appreciate it, please consider Fast and Furious movies as well for your retrospective, Love your videos
i second this!!!!!
^
One for the Bourne series, the John Wick series, and every actor who played 007.
I third this. Lol
Outstanding video. The sheer effort is incredible many thanks!
Not only do you script well thought out and funny reviews, you also conduct thorough research and bring light to behind the scenes stories, pre production, cinematography and even music composition. It shows your vast interest in the art of film as a whole and how much knowledge you have in the subject. This was a true joy to watch and listen to. Thank you 🙏🏼
I LOVE Ghost Protocol. It's so fun, I show it to everyone when I want them to get into MI or have a good time. Also, I really wish Jane got to come back she was an excellent addition to the team while exuding this great earnestness and I liked the way she and Ethan played off each other (Also her kicking that woman out the window was amazing). It also made me wonder why we never see Paula in more films like this. edit: I forgot to add, I just came across this video, I love people enthusiastically talking me through films. This video is well done and I immediately subscribed, can't wait to check out the previous ones and what's to come.
What I love about this film series though is that it seems like it always just improves upon itself after the 2nd film. They try to keep things that work, they toss things away that don't, they seem to genuinely love this franchise and care and it shows.
Fantastic Retrospective, even the inclusion of the comic book, which by the way, the first printing of them was asked to be recalled and destroyed because Tom dislikes one of the panels. Paramount called up Marvel and told them, As the legend goes... "Tom would be unhappy" if this went out. The panel was changed and a new print run was issued. There is a hand full out in the wild. Again great Retrospective and it makes me want to go back and see these again.
I loved all M:I films, even 2! And it's my favorite because of that one shot when Tom jumps off the bike, and when they're both coming at each other, and right before- he turns to the camera and goes, "This mission: it just got a hell of a lot more impossibler." Boom! And then they did the hit!
Yeah. Thanks to Ben Stillers writing of style. It was included :D
I loved the first one, think I was like 10 when it came out but somehow missed all the rest of them until recently. I have only seen parts 1-5 I think, this makes me keen to finish them off. I hated tom cruise for most of my adult life, but I have really come around to him the last few years. Yeah he’s a bit crazy but he is so talented and dedicated and hard working, it’s incredible how much talent he has.
I've never understood why intense people are hated. I guess I come from the side of the fence where a lot of people around me are intense A type personalities. So I 'get' them. They are certainly intense and that can unsettle people, but they are passionate about what they do, and Tom Cruise is just living his life. We need to separate celebrities' personal lives from their crafts. Or we'd set unrealistic expectations for people that we don't even set for ourselves.
You failed to mention the fact that Tom Cruise gets a hefty percentage of the grosses that these movies take in at the box office. Not that he doesn't earn it, with all the amazing practical stunts that he's managed to pull off! His total now for the 6 M.I. movies must be around $1Billion U.S. He deserves to be given an honourary Academy Award for giving audiences such thrilling experiences over the past 40+ years!
I love these movies so much, Ethan Hunt is definitely one of my inspirations/heroes even now as an adult! Thank you for this video essay, you did it justice!
As a Norwegian, my favorite consequence of this franchise has been Norway's obsession with the movie. Still now, years later we see headlines like "Tom Cruise flew over this village during filming!". A cafe near pulpit rock changed the name of the 'bolle' pastry into a new treat called "Mission Impossi-bolle". They even hosted a screening of the movie ON pulpit rock. You'd think a god visited the place, but no we're just starstruck over Tom Cruise.
For some reason I steered clear of this franchise. You have wonderfully introduced me to what I was missing. Better late than never.
mission: impossible is arguably (maybe even objectivly) the greatest action film saga there is. i got into it few months ago, and with Fallout, i - not hope - but *believe* dead reckoning will somehow - against all odds - _burn out the fuse_ with a bang! but while there's still a waiting period before release, your retrospective likely rekindled the exitement! i like your enthusiastic but straightforward approach, and the helpful information of the trails and tribulations the filmskers had to go though with the production each film (phew); especially with how you presented each film topping the last: it feel impossible that the next installment can outpreform the last, but then throwing our assumtions out the window, every time. and i appericiate how you translated that feeling into words, it kept it engaging. the twist with the conclusion was clever. i was expecting a boring sponser segment, but it's really just giving credit and thanks to the source material. thank you for the dreadful time it must've took to write, voice, and edit this - and you my friend for taking time to read! (i did ramble too long, and despite that i still wanted to add few more things) good luck to your future endeavours, Prime! or... you're future *missions,* _should you choose to accept them._ c;
An incredible franchise that gets better and better, my favorite MI movies are Ghost Protocol and Rogue Nation, they’re cleaner and sleeker. That Burj Kalifa scene still takes my breath away.
Its impossible not to subscribe when the quality and level of passion of the video is so damn high.
I rarely want to cry about anything but something about the interaction between Ethan, Elsa, and Julia gets me everytime. so many movies fail to hit me in the feels sometimes the acting sucks, or the dialogue is weak, or the whole story just isnt gripping enough but Rouge Nation and Fallout are such gritty real masterpieces with excellent acting, dialogue, and storytelling it never falls to move me. in every scene with Elsa and Ethan and Julia you can just see it in their faces and body language, hear it in their voices how real that connection they have is. You might think it was really real until you realized its just a movie its such a great plot thread
Honestly I think it’s official. I’ve always loved Chris Nolan but I think the second best director/writer of my generation is Chris McQ McQuarrie. That dude just kills it. I thought he only did great cause of Cruise but he’s the reason Mission Impossible started getting great. But then McQ killed it on Top Gun 2. I really think he’s becoming a great creator and I can’t wait to see what he does after all the Impossible films
Saw M:I 7 P1 and it blew me away. Stunning franchise.
I never thought I would sit and watch a 2+ hour KZhead video, but here I am, having done it twice, well, almost since technically, the Star Wars one falls a little under 2 hours. You really have a knack for grabbing my attention and keeping it. Great job!
I gotta say, I didn't think I liked these movies until I watched this. I took the trip down memory lane. Pretty cool. Also, I never really knew what the plot for any of these movies was until now, so that helps.
They're very fun movies that have alot of throwbacks to classic films, specifically Hitchcock and Alan Pakula. Also, they're all made by great directors.
This was incredibly well done! I especially liked your own humour thrown in, from the "known Nazi sympathiser" to the question of TC's immortality. Genuinely had me laughing out loud. Bravo sir.
The first 1996 Mission Impossible will always be my favorite. The subtlety of everything is just perfect. The stunts are fantastic and the set pieces are *chef's kiss*. I wish they'd go back to that.
That movie has a gajillion plot holes... the Helicopter sequence makes zero sense as, even IF one can suspend disbelief that it fits in the tunnel, the belief is broken as soon as the other train comes by, the helicopter barelt fit and was in the center of the tunnel... not only would the turbulence make it impossible to remain in control, I physics also dictate the train would hit the bloody thing... further, how filarious it is that moments after Ethan fools Claire w mask causing her to believe he is Jim... his own wife. That then utilizing a camera for Kitrich to see Jim and he just believes its Jim....sure it is... but its less than a couple minutes after Ethan was wearing a mask passing himself off as Jim. Oh and catching that bead of sweat w Ethan sprawled out to balance himself would be impossible... and not mission impossible... as in literally impossible. Thats the shortlist. That movies got problems galore... nevermind that they actually perform the stunts now rather than relying on blue and greenscreen. Thus why the films have increased in mainstream embrace and critical acclaim... oh yea but they should go back to plot hole city...lol GTFO
The first Pacific Rim was ridiculously good and ahead of its time. Its still an absolute banger and its 10 years old!
I'm only 20 minutes in, but I have to say another outstanding retrospective dude! I can't believe you don't have more subscribers. May I suggest (and I'm sure I'm not the 1st) taking on the Tolkien saga? Edit. Nowv that I've finished it...😄
you're gonna LOVE the tease at the end of this video.
@@ThePrimeTheater I had not reloaded the app when I edited my comment, then I see you already replied 🤣
@@ThePrimeTheater If I have to make a critique, it's calling the enemy "evildoers". I mean, sure, they're presented as evil in the series, but they're mostly just officials and bureaucrats of competing powers. If the show was about spying on Americans officials you wouldn't call their targets evildoers.
Overall a great film series. Ghost Protocol might be my favorite, followed by Fallout. Also to me MI:2 is a time capsule, it's very new millennium/mtv generation and I enjoy it as well.
M:I 2 is definitely a guilty pleasure for me. My favorite is Fallout. Saw that one 3x in theaters!
Ghost Protocol was such a smart move. Brad Bird was a perfect choice. He brought all that 60’s tv espionage nostalgia that he used for the Incredibles, harkened back to the original tv series, but then found a way to modernise it for the crazy ‘always bigger’ attitude Tom Cruise was applying to the movies, and it worked so well. Totally set them up for the Christopher McQuarrie run, and now it feels like they’re just in full on Tom Cruise running stride
Hard to believe mi2 was well received back then. The music helped alot ofc
@@Micke12312 ha! Agreed. I was a teen learning guitar at the time, so the Metallica track contributed a LOT to my enjoyment. It’s objectively dumb and cheesy, but has SO MUCH personality as a stand alone (even if that personality is dumb and cheesy). Won’t ever hold up to a new viewer today, but I’m so glad it exists
Amazing, amazing, amazing video. Thank you so very much. 🙏
Thanks so much for a fantastic journey through the whole franchise... Great work!
The funniest thing is when MI2 came out I was like 11 or 12 and I loved it. And then 3 came out when I was in high school and actually working at the movie theater at the time and it was one of those movies that whenever I took a break at work I was sitting in the back of the theater for MI3. Such a step up in every way
I don't even like MI, but watching you do full on breakdowns is too good a watch to miss haha.
I haven’t even watched the video yet but it’s already amazing 💯💯
Oh bravo sir 👏 I’ve been watching KZhead for years and this is the longest item I’ve ever watched without a break
46:45 this might be my favorite opening scene of the series. It's a great tension setter and the two of them are really going for it.
My God! What an amazing video, so well put together, so easy to understand and follow, and so complete, thank you so much for it!!!! Your energy is quite unique. Personal favorites MI3 and Fallout
What an absolutely FANTASTIC video! Thank you for all your hard work! I cant imagine the amount of time this took, holy shit
What a great video! I was already re-watching the Mission Impossible series to get ready for the next film. Great job!
Damn it, this video made me regret not seeing these movies (well, MI:3 would have been the first one I could actually see since I was too young for the first two) in theaters - I'll definitely go check out all future movies. Paramount better not give you hassle about this video, because I bet a ton more people will show up in the theaters after seeing this very well done video. Good job!
The fish tank scene and the wire down scene were both extremely iconic
this video is extremely entertaining and interesting, great work bro!
I was watching it until you reached M:I Fallout, then I paused to watch the movie and came back to finish it. Great video!
I can't believe i watched this entire 2 hr documentary without a second of boredom. This was excellent
As somebody who considers JJ Abrams to be a terrible filmmaker who gets worse with every movie he makes, it is really scary to think that he got his start with this franchise, and eventually became a franchise killer
I just stumbled on to this channel and I am so glad that I did, because the quality of these retrospectives is just top notch! 💯👏👍😀
This is one of the most watchable KZhead videos I've ever come across
I was just on your page last night looking forward to you dropping absolute heat. Seriously bro. The quality of your work is unmatched.
woahhh, you work impressively fast
There are very few 2 hour long YT videos worth seeing to the end. This was never boring and the pacing and presentation was very well done. Salute. You did the series and yourself justice.
I have an interesting history with this franchise. I saw the first one around 2008 when I was 12, and I didn’t like it (except for the iconic scene with Cruise hanging in the room). Never saw MI2 or MI3, but when Ghost Protocol came out, my friends convinced me to see it. I loved it so much! I saw Rogue Nation and loved it also, but I saw Fallout and didn’t like it. I realized this was because being sick with a cold+ Long movie+ Serious tone= Not a good time for me. Thankfully I rewatched it later and loved it. Despite loving 4, 5, and 6, I still haven’t revisited the first one or seen 2 and 3. Don’t worry, with the series coming to a close in 2024, I promise everyone who reads this I will have watched them by then.
I'm not even done watching yet but I just had to stop and say thank you for making such a fantastic video. You've studied your subject with passion and to superb detail. Would you ever consider a Terminator or Batman franchise retrospective?
man i love ghost protocol, genuinely an S tier film if not an S+ tier film
what wtf it was absolutely trash almost no action, terrible plot this was begining of a downfall after fourth came out until 2022. now its finally back after 13 years with much action and interessting story. and not another lazy boring repetive and generic plot. MI fallout had same plot another bomb. i wish JJ abrams did the screenplay and directed it. fans could come up with much better stories then that garbage.
13:20 I must’ve seen this scene at least 100 times before I saw the actual movie. It was always in previews for other movies and montages. Can’t believe that was real, such an iconic cool looking stunt
Another fantastic vid. I really enjoy the way you lay out the information. You've got a really good presentation style too. Definitely deserve more recognition.
Awesome content as always sir!!! The Nolan Batman movies could make a really good retrospective too! (I’d say all the Batman’s but that’d be an 8 hour event). I wish you success sir
The introduction of Elsa has to be the greatest decision of all time. Rogue Nation and Fallout gave me the highest emotional response and release of tension I've ever experienced watching a movie. and I was never disappointed with the ending. unfortunately they could have stopped there, and the thing I fear most is that Dead Reckoning will ruin this picture perfect ending in fallout I remember seeing the first Mi as a child, #2 was meh. #3 was not the greatest, but I feel that even though it was loosely tied to 4,5,&6 without the introduction of Julia we wouldnt have that huge release of tension at the end of #4 & #6 nor would we have the intrigue and awesome feeling you get when Elsa is introduced in #5. It all works together wonderfully and I am so glad to see Christopher McQuarrie back. Its fun to see in real life such a great working relationship between him and Tom and the rest of the cast unifying the story and sealing the last Mi movies as the best of the franchise. Mission Impossible will surely end on a high note which seems to be very rare in hollywood
Hate to be this person, but her name is Ilsa, right?
@@aubiek3208 yes thats prolly right
@@DEVUNK88 It does sound like Elsa most of the time, though. Rouge Nation is definitely my personal favorite.
Great job!! I love this series and how you summarized the whole thing in an interesting way! Can't wait for the new MI coming out soon!
I love every movie in this series. MI-3 is my favorite. PSH is so Damm good as the bad guy.
Julia's husband in MI6 is an apostle. That's why they were there giving healthcare. Hopefully we see some old cast comebacks. Also, MI saga has something that nowadays is missed by me, happy endings. You can make the best movie ever, but without a satisfactory ending, all is lost. And Tom likes happy and satisfactory endings. Hopefully Ethan can have a happy peaceful time with Ilsa, at least a short one. Edit: hopefully they can connect Devian to the Apostles, as the Bond franchise did in the last Craig's movie
The only reason that MI3 didn’t do well at the box office is cause MI2 was terrible. Not a lot of people were interested is seeing another Mission Impossible movie cause the second one was so bad. MI3 is the movie that put the franchise back on track and is responsible for the success of the last 3 movies.
This happens with a lot of movies. Harry Potter part 2 wasn't well received, which is why the third one is still lhas the worst box office numbers, despite being one of the best movies in the franchise.
Well Mission impossible 2 was the highest grossing movie of the year. The Audience loved it. I think Mission impossible 3 not earning as much as previous entry is due to some other reason.
Thank you for making this video! So much detail that was put into this video, made it that much more amazing! Completely agree with the fact that every single installment of mission impossible keeps getting better and better! I just watched number seven and I cannot wait for part two!
Mission Impossible 2 just doesn't feel like a Mission Impossible movie, it feels like a John Woo movie! And if I watch it without thinking it's connected to any of the other movies, it's pretty fun. It's a guilty pleasure for me. Apparently, there's a 3 hour cut out there somewhere, I'd kill to see that! And as you mentioned Mission Impossible 2 changed the course of history in a lot of ways when it comes to media, whether recasting or the Napster lawsuit it is wild! Thank you so much for this video! I loved it, your channel is great. People often tell me "you deserve more subscribers" but truly YOU deserve more subscribers.
Subscribed a while ago and now im hooked on the retrospective series. Watching these reminds me of how many movies I’ve actually seen over the years
MI2 aged the best, aged like a fine wine. Making profiting out of a desease, timeless business idea!
Really liked your video but its my suggestion do whatever you please but this your way calling Kanye Nazi this and Scientology that just skip over it, soyboy behavior and that only detracts from your great video and pushes your politics on people. anyways great content all and all.
Thank you for actually starting with the og tv show. Kudos
Amazing video! It didn't even feel that long with your dialogue and excitement. I enjoyed these movies as much as you. Thanks!
7:29 AM March 3, 2023 just finished watching didn’t realize there was a film in production. Just watched the whole thing thank you very much
And as such, a great new video drops!
Growing up, I so remember 1966, when the TV series " Mission Impossible " 1st came to the small screen. At just 20 y/o, I was totally smitten with Barbara Bain as Cinammon, as well as the pacing & plots each week. It quickly became one of my all-time TV shows along with MASH & "Hill Street Blues " . So, when the 1st film was made, I was there. And now, in 2023, I'll be there for #7, NMW. -----------------MJL, 76 y/o
Absolutely exceptional video - great job!
Randomly came across this video and wow you really hooked me with this all the way through. Well done man!
I can't get enough of your work man. This are the only long videos I watch in one sitting without skipping a second. The only youtube videos worth my LIKE button. Please add for more franchises like LOTR
3-3-23!!!! Wow wow wow!!! Thanks u for a fantastic dissertation and explanation of the series!!!! Cheers to all and thank u again!!
I love your retrospectives! I just spent the past 4 days watching the Transformers, Star Wars, Halo and Marvel ones back to back, and they were stellar! Subscribed!
Great video, one of the best retros I have seen and I appreciate the research, scripting, editing etc that went on here.
Thanks for putting this together!
I sort of always saw these as mindless action films but after your retrospective I appreciate them all a lot more. It really is impressive how well each movie has done.
I absolutely LOVE these retrospective videos, THANKS!
Hey man great voice great delivery Loved the franchise and had a good lazy morning watching this
