Do it now or Agent 47 will show up at your house in the middle of the day, when your parents are home, without wearing a disguise, and with a very thin layer of hair, it's just barely noticeable, but that somehow makes it worse, like he'd be better off wearing a Marilyn Monroe wig with tights. He's coming. Don't say I didn't warn you.

If they really wanted to capture the essence of Hitman, they should have had 47 in a clown costume throwing a labrys at a dictator's head mid speech

Her face tattoo is a major part of their connection. He asks her about it and has a flashback of when he got the bar codes. 47 and the girl had shared trauma. Something about freedom and control over ones own life. And he didnt kill her because she did not react to his presence when she saw him in public. Meaning the agency lied about her being a loose end.

I feel like it's worth noting that the official language in Nigeria is actually English. Now, a lot of people there don't necessarily speak it day-to-day, but it's completely reasonable that those guys would at the beginning.

To be honest a British person abroad instigating a conversation in English is probably the most authentic thing about this movie.

Timothy Olyphant carried that first movie. Even tho 47 should be emotionless Timothy has so much charisma that his version of the character just works

The scene of him breaking the handcuffs with the sniper is seared into my brain for all eternity. Truly peak filmmaking

In the first movie, if I'm not mistaken, he killed the real Belicoff at the start. It was Belicoff's body double who organized the hit as a means of taking over. There's a scene later in the film, after 47 kills Belicoff's brother, where we see Belicoff talking to the FSB agent. He goes into detail about the surgical operations needed to become a lookalike.
Also, 47 doesn't kill Nika because she sees him in the public square when he's about to shoot her and she doesn't recognize him. Showing that she never witnessed anything, and this was just him being used to cover up loose ends.

The idea of 47 in a romantic relationship in anyway is weird to me. Theres a cutscene in the first game where a chick kisses him and he shudders. It just makes sense to me that the genetically perfect clone born to kill would have no interest or time in romance. I think these movies would rock if they were just tense action movies where we follow him assassinating targets in the coolest and smoothest way possible :3

Actually the reason he didn't kill her in the beginning is because she stared right at him in the crowd and didn't recognize him, so he knew something was wrong

There's a saying in writing "you cant write a character that's smarter than you" and its 100% true. Agent 47 in these movies are a dumb person's IDEA of a smart person and it shows.

I remember watching this movie years back when I was younger, thinking "Wow, I didn't know that Hitman got a movie adaptation", and completely forgetting about it afterwards.
I didn't even know that this "film" even gotten a sequel to begin with.

Don't get me wrong, the bullet-proof suits they use in John Wick are stupid, but at least they're somewhat compelling and provide a few laughs as well as provide some tangible plot armour. Having a 'sub-dermal layer of titanium' is just outright lazy writing. That's like a kid saying they have a force-field while roleplay-fighting.

I like how the girls backstory is based off violent sexual abuse and being literally trafficked but also the movie finds every possible chance to sexualize her

When I was a kid I watched the first one and I loved it! It was the first time in my life that I made a character my entire personality for years to come I just thought agent 47 was the coldest and coolest mf ever bro was standing on business

Wouldn't it be better to say John Wick tried to be 47? This came out 7 years earlier!

I think Timmy olyphant was perfect for the role but it just had bad writing I did love the fact he jumps through the window and the kids were playing hitman

3:20 the forensics team would be able to tell that the explosion originated from inside the victim based on the damage done to the inside his remains, you can see that his upper torso stayed intact so that would mean that either the explosives were inside of him, or that they were strapped to him, and considering that he was taken in by that group of people they would have noticed him strapped with c4 before they brought him into the compound.

I laughed so hard in theatres when i realized they'd reused footage from Dark Angel for the barcoded kids training sequences. Particularly as they all had it on the back of their necks (as per DA) and yet they were too cheap to reshoot with proper placement for Hitman

I love that you said we might know Zachary quinto from heroes and not the Star Trek movies lol.

14:14 I'm a Bulgarian from Sofia and I remember watching this movie and being like "bruh what's our national theater doing in "Russia"?"

To be fair, people in foreign countries speaking perfect English is absolutely accurate to the games

The reason 47 didn't kill the goth girl in the first movie is because he could relate to her because they were both abused as children and forced to have a tattoo on their head. And yeah probably because he liked her a bit.

So the first movie was definitely based off of Blood Money, but they only read the back of the box. The second movie they just wanted to do John Wick and watched the trailer of Absolution.

Nigerian here and it's not entirely out of the ordinary for Nigerians to speak English. It's our first language.

I also can’t stand hearing the Wilhelm scream anymore. It really takes me out of whatever seriousness a movie was trying to have.

A Hitman movie should be made like a slasher movie, with 47 being the antagonist, but one who obviously wins in the end. 47's face should never be shown, and he should be shown walking around in the background of some shots, in disguise. The real voice of 47 should also be used, because that is absolutely necessary💁🏻‍♀️

The Nigerians speaking English isn't too far fetched because it's the official language (also there are multiple ethnic groups that are native to the country and over 500 different national languages and dialects). It actually is more realistic, I think.

19:50 you see, 47 is able to fire at his target around the crowd because they are fake npcs. Committing crimes around the fake npcs don't fail SA :)

Its a shame David Bateson, the voice actor for 47 in the games is in his 60s, hes got the 47 look going on and maybe 20 years ago wouldve played an excellent live action 47

For the beginning scenes where they showed 47 as a child, they just re-used footage from the series "Dark angel" which also has people with barcodes, but on the back of their necks.
I wonder if you can spot that in this movie, since they should have it on the back of their heads...
Loved Dark Angel when I was young and the re-used scenes caught me off guard.

Honestly, the movie "The Killer" on netflix is more of a Hitman movie than any of the licensed hitman movies...

When Mika says she was sold for $300, I just always assumed she was implying $300 grand. Which makes way more sense profits wise…plus people, especially in movies/tv, often abbreviate $$ amounts that’re in the hundreds of thousands to just a hundreds amount - $300 = $300,000. Kind of like how people who also say “300 large” are really saying $300,000.

*An Agent 47 dark comedy TV series* in the vein of “Barry” and “The Killer” would be the most talked about show on television if done right..

I am a Nigerian and we do speak English in Nigeria. Its one of the most common languages there, so its not weird that they speak English

When she said she was sold for 300, she probably meant 300,000 cause it might've sounded weird to be specific with the situation they are in.

Her name was Katia Van Deez.
The french for 90 is Quattra Vingt Dix
French just has a lot of silent letters.
Also she wouldn't be looking for a number in a different language within her name.

For the first Hitman movie the director was forced by studio interference to add many stupid scene and to change parts of the plot. He refused and has been replaced and it is noticeable by the camera works differences

Agent 47 should be the antagonist of his film. Like a horror movie. Someone finds out they've had a hit put on them but the hitman is unknown, basically a shadow and linked to many deaths with no evidence. The story basically being trying to escape from the hitman.

So glad you mentioned Jason Statham, I saw a film where he plays an assassin (though it was a comedy) and he was AMAZING!! He felt almost like an alternate universe 47. They should definitely try again, but more in line with the World of Assassination trilogy this time. More serious and espionage focused, but there's plenty of room for humor (47 loves wordplay, apparently) and action, plus the overarching plot with Providence is already there!

In the first movie, when 47 is integrating the "witness", the tattoo on her face jumps from one side to the other in the same scene. It's amazing and I couldn't believe it when I saw it jump. My friend and I rewounded it so many times.

one thing that bothers me these directors have a lot of lore and stuff they can use but they are like he is bald and wears a suit and kills ppl what more do u want

y'know, A horror movie with 47 as the monster wouldn't be half bad.

I wonder if 47 got himself one of those maps where you scratch the places where you've been...

The badassery Rupert Friend built during his time in Homeland was nowhere to be seen in the Hitman: Agent 47 movie.

Haven't seen the video. But the moment in the first movie where all the agents (AND THE RANDOM INTERPOL AGENT?) pull out 2 katanas from inside their shirt in a mexican standoff situation is the most insane moment in any movie.

the 'facility' her dad is staying in is the flower dome in gardens by the bay which makes it really funny for me to imagine that the employees and people visiting are just wondering why this old man is always in the flower dome and then is suddenly being chased by a man and a girl through the whole park.

One of the funniest things about him assassinating the woman in the crowd of people is that I'm pretty sure you'd get the lowest score possible if you did that in the game.

8:50 agent 47 is genetically the strongest and smartest agent, which is why the videogames are about him instead of the any other.

Crazy to think they attempted a hit man film twice .😊

Seeing a Foodie Beauty clip put in an ETA video was a very unexpected jumpscare

The actor who is hunting 47 in the first movie is Dougray Scott. He was the first choice and cast to play Wolverine in the first X-Men movie, but dropped out because he was offered the villain role in Mission Impossible 2. Weirdly that's why I'll never forget his face, because he almost was our Wolverine.

Bald white man in a suit and tie, with a barcode tattooed on his neck.
Arguably the easiest Hitman in fictional history to spot.

MAD respect for recognizing Bulgaria. I love you so much for this😭

I like the first movie. It was obviously a way to make a hitman movie in somewhat alternative universe (like the diffrent look of other agents which shouldn't be hard to pull off back then), but it succeded at that. It was hitman enough, it was fun ride, and Timoty Olyphant is a mega chad that actually made this version of a character kinda work, more lighthearted hitman, more reminiscent of new hitman trillogy. That being said i wish there was an amazing Hitman movie but i can't imagine anyone taking the role other than original voice actor. But if it ever happen it has to be "old" Hitman, dark hitman from first few games, even including absolution that while had strange plot points, actually managed to make 47 character even more interesting and fitting.

Speaking of Jason Statham would love to get an Elvis review on all of the Transporters

The ending song to the first hitman movie slaps

Err, we do speak English to ourselves in Nigeria. We have over 250 languages and ethic groups , so unless you’re specifically talking to someone from your tribe, you have to speak English or a ‘broken’ version of it.

so the movie went absolutely in opposite direction than the games ? in the games youre good as dead when your disguise blows and someone sets off the alarm and it becomes a pain to go through the level even with different disguises as different disguises have different detections lol. im happy that atleast the recent triology of hitman concluded with a satisfying ending and a good story overall. 47 was never john wick as he uses his intelligence and mind instead of brute strength even though his reflexes are on par with john wick

Nigeria was colonized by the british and we actually do speak English lol. There's over 500 languages in Nigeria and trust me without English no one would be able to communicate. Also we call it pidgin English which is kind of like broken English.

I remember seeing this with my friend in theaters. He ripped ass during one of the silent moments

Shooting into the ground probably would have been more dangerous. First because of the chance of creating shrapnel either out of the bullet or the material of the sidewalk (I think it's stone or brick, both of which would chip easily enough) or the chance of a ricochet, but secondly because, from a vaguely half remembered Mythbusters episode, falling bullets aren't as dangerous as everyone thinks they are.

Absolutely loved the first hitman film, timothy olyphant was interesting & funny. He's also brilliant in I am number 4

I thought Timothy was by far the best Hitman actor. The dude had the perfect persona about him and, for me, he totally sold it.

My biggest question is why the fuck they refuse to just cast 47's actual voice actor.

37:00 nah bro i watched it when i was like 12 in hopes that i would understand the lore but it made me almost lobotomize myself

The edit at the beginning, caused me to legit think you shaved your head for this. (which means it was either very good or I am an idiot) I was like, "DAMN THE COMMITMENT!"

8:00 it's actually a nose hit, just because the scope is pointing at the forehead doesn't mean it will hit the forehead, considering the distance of 47 and belicof it make sense, the bullet will lose some up force and would go down as it moves so yah its nose hit not forehead

The killer on Netflix is a true hit man adaption

Hitman agent 47 is one of the best examples of "I KNOW this doesn't make any damn sense but it LOOKS COOL!" I hate that style of movie making

I agree about the silly trope of people speaking English in every country (even more silly if they start with the first sentence in another language and then switch to English), but English is the official language in Nigeria. So, if this is happening there, they'd likely speak English.

Sorry Elvis, we actually speak English in Nigeria as its our "official" language post-colonization. Great video as always.

I watched these, many many times and never understood what was going on. To this day I can't explain the plot to any of these.

This is one of your best videos. I started watching it and I said to myself, "What a fantastic video." Everyone's saying it. One of the best.

One thing that effected him and stopped him from killing her was her tattoo on her face because he asked why she did it and he can relate because of ya know barcode

Saying that only british people say football is the biggest problem I saw in this video.

I'm still of the mind that a correctly established hitman movie would be a horror/thriller with dense action elements. Hitman, if not the main character, needs to be a faceless, terrifying villain. You don't frame the movie with the hitman on the cover. You make a movie completely detached from the hitman series in the public eye, and let the word spread itself with a twist at the end. Literally all you have to do is show one frame of the barcode at the end of the movie and people would go apeshit.

First movie feels like watching someone who knows what theyre doing play hitman, second one is when i play hitman myself 😔

The Killer from David Fincher is the best Hitman movie we will ever get

We need a Hitman 3 directed by Uwe Boll

To me david finchers the killer is exactly what a hitman film should’ve been

I think a great Hitman movie should be like a heist film with Agent 47 infilting a place to kill a target, starts with one plan, then has to invent a new plan when the old one goes awry, has to do a incredibly inventive kill in a ridiculous disguise, and then disappear while avoiding the most inconvenient circumstances. Basically, the average playthrough of Hitman, but representing all that makes the games great, while feeling like it could fit into the fames seamlessly. 47 should be played by a great deadpan actor with a very intimidating aura, who can do the most ridiculous things while being somehow still being scary af.

I loved Hitman 1. Bad/Good as Jason Statham in Transporter series!
I wished Timothy Olyfant got more action flicks, but only a few years later he got old and skinny really fast 😭

Elvis couldn't even bother to look up what the Official language of Nigeria is

The first movie deserves credit and it did its best to depict embodiment of hitman!

New Netflix Movie "The Killer" is more hitman then these hitman movies lolll😂😂

Never in my life did I imagine seeing Chantal “Animal Abuser” Sarault in an Elvis video. Is she that much of a lolcow that she’s a meme to the general RUclips public now? 😭

the fact I'm a hitman speedrunner and have never heard of these movies means they just be peak the whole fandom loves

Bro, Nigerias official language IS english. Colonization you know 👀

Agent Smith being turned into a main character despite every appearance of him in the games had him as a supporting extra pretty much

Well people in Nigeria actually do speak english, its their official language.

I Love Timothy Olyphant Great Actor very Charismatic & Talented, 1 of my Favorite Actors, Love Hitman 2007, A Perfect Getaway, The Crazies Remake, Gone In 60 Seconds, Dreamcatcher 2003, The Girl Next Door 2004, & I Am Number 4 those are my Favorites Of his ❤

I didn't even think I watched the first movie as a kid! I just remembered the scene with the girl tied up and I thought it was just a weird dream or something from horror, cause my mom likes to watch them. And it was from this movie. I would never thought as I forgot about it and this scene.

When watching the first with my elderly father, upon the line "You're not wearing underwear", he quipped, rare for him, "He must have noticed the dandruff on her shoes." and ":O" was literally the face I made."

Elvis FINALLY covered these movies 😂 I was hoping he would

I have to admit, the very beginning of Hitman: Agent 47 did kind of intrigue me. They introduce Agent 47 as this relentless, evil killing machine. I thought that was going to be a clever take on the character. (In reality, the assassin wouldn't be the good guy.) But then they had to switch back to making him the hero.

Random fact that no one probably knows, but the reason why some of the flashback scenes show the barcodes on the neck is because they re-used footage from the show Dark Angel. The kids in that show were all genetic experiments and they had the barcodes on the back of their necks. Came out WAY before Hitman was a thing.

John Wick got nothing on 47

Asking Elvis The Alien to review National Treasure
Day 1

28:08 well Tbf in the games 47 is a clone of multiple people and has had his genetics altered extensively but also to your credit I’m pretty sure they explain that 47 got his training as a child and wasn’t born with it in the games at least
