Hi everyone! What grade (out of 10) would you give this video?

This was such a unique and creative fight scene, normally you would see a standard sword fight between the protagonist and antagonist, but Steven said “eh fuck it let them fight with cranes!”

Whoever suggested a fight scene but in CRANES!! They deserve a raise

For an entirely CG movie that came out 12 years ago, it holds up pretty damn well.

Can we just acknowledge that this is one of the tightest, most fun adventure movies of all time and NEEDS a sequel

When you think about it. It's technically a mech fight.

This entire movie was just filled to the brim with completely unrealistic insane balls-to-the-wall action scenes like this. They leaned into it, too. Never once did they ever go “wow this is a completely insane situation”, they just went full throttle and never moved their foot.

I love how Sakharine (red guy) seemed to have dreamed of this day. He wanted to crush his ancestors rival to the ground, his hand to hand fight scene with Haddock was practiced, rehearsed, like he had to get it perfectly. As for Haddock bro just wants revenge for the here and now. He knows the rivalry between Rackham & Francis but seems more focused on wanted to kick Sackharine’s ass then reenacting the past. For Sackharine, this seems personal. Like he IS the reincarnation of Rackham and that is my head cannon for this film (I’m not sure about the books) in my mind, Rackham was so fucking pissed at Haddock that he carried that spite with him in his next life and he wants to REVEL in beating Haddock because he looks so much like the man that took EVERYTHING from Rackham, so not only does he want the treasure, he wants the haddock’s house (which he got) he has what seems to be a descendant of Francis’s right hand man as a butler, he TOOK HADDOCK’S CREW AND SHIP. THAT IS WAY TOO PERSONAL JUST FOR A LONG BYGONE ERA SACKHARINE LIVED UP TO RACKHAMS CURSE! Taking everything that the Haddock’s had until there is absolutely nothing left. He wants to take down Haddock, to finally get what he wants. SWEET REVENGE. Haddock tho ain’t got time for that shit and throws a fucking bOTTLE AT HIM- It’s fucking funny. I love this movie!

3:01 Interesting piece of dialogue Good guy: Who gave you permission to do evil things?! Bad guy: I don’t need it, I’ve never needed it.

A sword fight with cranes. If the Fast and Furious movies did this, it would be cheesy as hell, but Spielberg was the right man for the job and he made it awesome.

I love how Snowy at 1:56 takes down Allan's cronies with cans from a crate that bares an image of a crab from Tintin's classic adventure, "The Crab with the Golden Claws".

redmond and blutarch from tf2's family-relation be like:

It’s crazy how we (to my knowledge) haven’t had any new TinTin content SINCE this film came out. It’s like they know they’ll never top it.

TF2 lore: BLUE VS RED

"So James Bond and Gollum fought each other with Cranes..."

1:42 I loved this joke.

The graphics given this was made in 2011 but probably started being created around at least 2008 is INSANE

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. Every time I watch it I appreciate it even more. Double thumbs up to Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson for keeping Hergés artistic, action packed and purely entertaining style. I am 64 years old now but remember reading his TinTin since about age 8. It’s just as entertaining but the Nuances of situational history are much more evident now. Thanks for keeping Tintin alive for future generations to enjoy!❤

Still one of the best movies ever. Love this so much.

When the title says strikes a man with a crane, I didn't expect to see a freaking cargo cranes swordfight.

Andy Serkis Vs Daniel Craig

1:57 comic fans would know those cans are more than meets the eye.

0:13 ALAN! ALAN, GET ME OUT!!! 😂😂😂 Such a hothead…

1:38 Close but no cigar!

"The legend says that only a Haddock can discover the secret of the Unicorn, but it took a Rackham to get the job done." "So you've lost again Haddock, that's right, why don't you have a drink? It's all you've got left, isn't it? Everything that was rightfully yours is now mine." These lines hit so hard.

Nobody is going to talk about how impressive the artstyle is?

Similiarly to mecha/robot battle of anime but harbour crane uses like mecha 😂

One of the best animated action films of all time. The action scenes are so fluid and dynamic, busy but always directing the eye to where it needs to go. Absolutely masterful.

3:00 I find it really poetic that Haddock is literally using the fallen crane's lever as his "sword". He is literally standing up and desperately trying to take control of this fight even when he know he is completely outmatched and his ship has literally tipped to it's side.

I swear this entire movie feels like a video game cutscene that just never let us play the entire fight

Closest thing we'll ever get of an irl mecha fight

Uncanny valley be damned! This movie was awesome!

All this time I thought it was live action till I actually searched it up again today. Mendella's effect was it? Or was my perception wasn't that accurate when I was little, lol.

No man or boy could ever resist a crane fight. It’s simply just a law of nature that if two men are in conflict and have cranes near each other a crane fight must happen

I love all the references and symbolism in the final fight between Archibald and Sakharine. "Who gave you permission to board my ship?" "I dont need it. I never needed it." Aside from this a reference to actually needing permission to board a captain's ship, it also references the fact that Sakharine is the distant grandson of Red Rackham, who was a pirate. And in a way Sakharine himself acts like a pirate. When the two fight Sakharine uses a net to throw off Archibald and is able to best him. This is similar to how Red Rackham would do the same to Sir Francis, but with a burning cape. Sakharine even gies as far as to swing his cane/sword, just like Red Rackham did when bested Sir Francis. Finally Archibald would come back at Sakharine just like Sir Francis did with Red Rackham, but do so under unique amd potentially disrespectful manners. Archibald would throw a bunch of bottles at Sakharine, while Sir Francis would face away and stab Red Rackham, then leave without killing him. Which is another point. Archibald nor Sir Francis killed their opponent directly. (Note. Red Rackham drowned, and he could have potentially escaped, but failed to do so.) Finally. While Sir Francis caught a curse, Archibald would break it.

Weird that a rich old man can operate a crane.

I remember watching this as a kid

I couldn't really tell by the thumbnail whether this was live-action or animated. Then I remembered, "oh, this has to be that Tintin movie from back when I was little or something" Damn.

I like how this video is getting into everyone's recommended in the last month. Such an underrated movie.

It’s insane how well the animation has held up over the years. Insanely realistic looking even now.

The movements are so fluid and realistic for a cartoon. I really enjoyed this movie (as i enjoyed the old tv series)

This is the best story type when you have some unfinished business in the family

I watched this when I was eight, I grew up reading Tintin and it was amazing to see this movie for the first time. Still one of my favourite movies of all time

honestly the movie lives up to the comic series.

wait a dam......IS THIS TIN TIN?

NOT THAT WAY YOU FOOL, THE OTHER WAY!!! 🤣🤣🤣

This is such a deviation from the books they used for this movie, and yet it’s still awesome.

The Closest Thing We Can Have To Hand To Hand Mech Battles IRL

1954 mecha battle

Villain fcking around after winning moment

This movie is super underrated, I watched it all the time when I was a kid

I never thought that I would see the day where I would see 2 men sword fight WITH CRANES, then proceed to engage in an ACTUAL sword fight.

I like how the CGI there is so realistic you sometimes question yourself if it's really CGI. And this movie was made in 2011! You don't see that nowdays...

Oh ten thouzan thunderin typhoons i found ye atlast

This movie was severely ahead of it's time

Why does this look like it takes place in the Polar Express canon?

I wonder how much did the Interpol had to pay in the harbour reparations, cause let's remember, this happened during an Interpol operation.

Come with me and you'll be in a world of OSHA violations

I never knew I needed fight between two port cranes but I'm glad I found it.

Ive seen this movie a few times in the past 12y, and just now i thought to myself. ”This Tintin looks like Tom Holland”.

Oh my god I am watching this and I’m halfway through and didn't realize this was TinTin until he said “red rackham” That was a blast from the past right there

This technically counts as a Mecha fight. No wonder I love this movie!

i dont know why this is in my recommended but im happy it is

This is one of the best modern animated movies, between this crane fight, the action scenes, and the amazing chase with the destroyed dam

1:42 It's so cool that they put these cartoony bits/movements despite having a realistic art style.

5:07 To be precise, You are under arrest

I love the Scottish accent Andy Serkis gave Haddock

This is mocap movies done right, It still looks amazing thirteen years later.

Daniel Craig really killed it with the voice acting.

2:26 my messy room is unfinished business.

Man, I loved this movie as a kid, I haven't watched it in a while though, I probably should.

Watched this as a kid, iconic scene - You had Sir Francis and Red Rackham exchange blows with sabres, now in this age and life it's with cranes, how classic

Did you Daniel Craig say “Close but no cigar”?

Man this is so insane

4:40 Bye Bye Ivan

I love this movie!!

Still one of the best adventure movies I’ve ever seen.

This would make a GREAT live action movie

I always libed this scene where they used crans to fight

is it me or does Tintin look like tom holland?

Sakharine doesn't have second thoughts about using a lighter with his clothes soaked in alcohol

Top Ten Anime Mecha Battles.

Crane fight>gun fight>sword fight>knife fight

God I loved this movie, Im glad to see there are others who share its appreciation!

This fight is one of the reasons I absolutely love this movie. Just fun and creative.

people just dont appreciate the time they would need to take to render all of these scene man

It’s a great cross-property reference that a character voiced by Daniel Craig is basically getting the Diamonds Are Forever Blofield treatment. ❤😂

I love this movie

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost do not sound too alike, but that’s the whole point with Thomson & Thompson / Dupont & Dupond: They’re NOT brothers, they’re just two dudes who look very alike. 😂

Guys will look at this and say “hell yeah”

World of tshirts vs daniel larson

One of the best sword fight scenes in fiction.

When James Bond was the villain!

Mech fight be like

5:02 Nicholas Angel And Danny Butterman Busted James Bond

As soon as the sword fight starts at 3:14 the power dynamic ping pongs from “Rackham” effortlessly besting Haddock with arms, Haddock allowing rage to take over and beating him back with bottles, Rackham pulling out the papers and threatening to burn them and gloating with his evil monologue, to Tintin swooping in to nab them while Haddock gloats back and yeets him off the ship into the arms of the authorities and there’s barely enough time for all the little shifts to sink in leading to an overall feeling of knowing the good guys win in the end and not caring about the individual strokes of the confrontation, a Spielberg classic

It’s like a robot fight

this movie's cgi is SO GOOD

I had no idea this movie existed, but now I desperately need to see it.

Even through a lot was changed and mixed together, it was done in a good way.
