You should watch the anime Lycoris Recoil, it is basically Baby Assassins in animated form. The main character's name is even Chisato as well and she's as much of a ditz as this one is.

I believe the two guys are really dead. The guys knew they were going to die and accepted their fate. I think the ending was a dark reminder that, no matter how sweet and like the two girls are, they kill people. Maybe they mostly kill gangsters and politicians but they also kill likable people like the two guys. What also cements the likely hood they kill the guys was that the guys crossed the point where they needed to die after shooting the cleaner which appeared got the assassin guild to mobilizing right away, where they found in killed the boys manager. Regarding the movie 3rd being the last of the franchise: I got the strong feeling as well giving how serious the trailer was and the promotional poster going around. One reason for the franchise to end, or at least put on an indefinite hiatus is because the two actresses may have a backlog of requests to be on bigger productions after Baby Assassin really raised their recognition. While Takaishi seemed to already has an established model and acting carrier. This is Izawa's chance to break out of just being a stunt woman and taking acting roles. But that being said, I do hope the franchise goes beyond the TV series and 3rd movie while still retaining the quality.

@@doomedspy I think the girls can and have been doing both. Maybe they will take a break, but Takiashi has done lots of projects in between, lots of tv roles. Saori has done a lot of music videos, short, been on stunt work for things like john wick 4 (and i suspect the kingdom sequels) she also, more time consumingly, been involved in a stage show called saga which has had a really long run! So while i think it is true they have big demands for more work, i think they should be able to do both alongside as they have been doing. I know the director wants to take a break to not get burned out but until we see the 3rd ourselves i guess we wont know for certain lol

The last hand to hand action sequence in this movie was amazing and something you would never see in modern Hollywood movies where female fighters are invincible and beat the crap out of larger stronger opponents. The choreography, flow and music was really great. The bodyguard of the Yukaza Boss's Daughter was already established as a one-shot knockout badass in the film. After Mahiro get's disarmed and takes strong blow to the face, she is bloodied and realizing the bodyguard is really strong. She fights hand to hand almost keeping up with the bodyguard but takes serious damage and the situation gets desperate as the music pace of the music quickens. To survive and come out on top she had to use her head (figuratively and literally). I saw the Baby Assassins 2 and I really liked it as well. It looked like the budget of this sequel was a larger than the first movie hinting the first movie must of done pretty well commercially. There's a TV mini-series coming out as well as a third movie. The trailer and the poster of Baby Assassins 3 looks like it might take a more dark and serious tone (might be intended to be the finale of the Baby Assassins franchise). We'll have to see.

The abstract plot summary as an intro action sequence is genius. There's one misplaced comedy scene near the end that seems to drag on forever, but oh well. I also sorta wish the movie didn't handicap Gordon Liu (one of the best screen fighters) halfway through the movie, but the movie's whole thing is that every fight has some odd gimmick, so we end up getting the wheelchair fight, etc. Anyway, this is basically Lau Kar Leung's best fight choreography I think, next to maybe Shaolin Mantis, Martial Arts of Shaolin and Shaolin vs. Wu-tang. (These movies sure do have Shaolin in the titles a lot.)

This was my first Gordon Liu and seeing another after without him i was like "damn i miss him already" i think the handicap works out well because it lets them weapon swap at the end with the staff and the combo between them is so cool.

I really enjoyed your commentary and insight of Baby Assassins 2 and the franchise so far! Hell I even managed to get my friends into and we keep debating if the first or second haves more action and which one is the best so far (I say the second but my friends all agree the first one. It really doesn't matter cuz we love all of them lol). I actually didn't pick up on how each movie seems to focus on one particular girl so I'm curious how they will focus on both of them together in the third one. I agree that I believe the boys are dead too in the sequel because I feel they have served their purpose and I was lowkey worried they will be love interest but glad they weren't. And funny enough, my best friend is starting to see Chisato and Mahiro potentially being a couple after seeing the second one and I can see that vision too if the director goes in that particular route. Would be interesting to see, especially with little hints sprinkling throughout both films. Overall, thanks again for the video and I'm curious to see you do a prediction video off the teaser for third one!
@BradTalksFilm
@BradTalksFilm 3 ай бұрын
So I probably wont make a video prediction for the 3rd movie so I will just tell you what I was thinking. They make reference to a guy called the enforcer. My theory is that he is the guy in the 3rd teaser, it makes sense that they would foreshadow a new character like this and use him. The pre release footage mentions he has "killed 149 people" or something similar. My suspicioun is that he turns on the assassins guild and comes after them. Yugo has revealed some details but I wont share just incase you dont want any spoilers at all. The other thing is who the actor is. They said he was a "leading actor in japanese film" so presumably a big star. And we see his frame too so we know how tall he is and his body type. Which rules out some people, it also is someone who should be familiar with stunts. I suspect if its a younger character it could be someone like Kento Yamazaki or Yuya Yagira. If older im.suspecting someone like Koichi Sato or Takuya Kimura.. but to be honest I dont know. I will probably make a video on 3 and the tv show, but after i see them Im glad you liked the videos and thank you so much for watching. I prefer the first myself but i suspect which one you prefer depends on which girl you relate to more. And i am definitely more of a Mahiro!

I had the exact same reaction to this movie. I went in thinking it was an action movie (the trailer is really edited toward that idea) and then I discovered the slacker film I never knew I was needing. I loved it and have watched it three times now. i can't wait until they release the sequel. And I noticed they make an appearance in the movie The Janitor, though I didn't actually see their faces but the blonde hair of Mahiro.

I LOVE the film! Trying to find somewhere to watch the sequel but can't find it streaming anywhere. I think Sakamoto has a great talent for directing action and knowing that action doesn't always mean fighting. Being able to keep a person engaged throughout a film and having actors that are capable of giving you multiple layers are what makes more than one character relatable to more than one person. When people can relate to more than one character in any production, they will watch it repeatedly because every time they do, they will get a different perspective. And it's why we're still talking about it... love, love, love it and want to see BA2 ASAP!!!

As someone who loves the entire franchise, I can relate to your feelings about this movie completely. The first Apes movie I ever saw was Conquest, our first introduction to "Caesar" and I was hooked! I immediately went and sought out the movies before it, as well as Battle, and I was not disappointed at all! I actually ended up watching Battle before I was able to get my hands on a copy of the first few. I do agree that this movie was rushed out due to the unexpected success of the Original, but I also believe they had different plans for this but were caught in a time crunch. I am so glad of the "rebirth" of the franchise and I really hope that the movies continue. What is so great about a franchise like this, is that there is so much that can be explored and so much story to fill in. I cant wait for Kingdom. Also, I would love to have you on sometime to discuss the franchise in depth.

As flawed as this movie is, and it is a very flawed movie, it is my favorite of the Apes movies and even my favorite sci-fi movie. I didn’t mind the first half kind of retreading the first movie, with Brent essentially being a stand-in for the audience, learning as he goes along. But once we get underground, that's it. It becomes a whole different movie entirely and so bat sh*t insane that I love it. As a kid I loved the original, but didn’t know about the sequels until I was a teenager. I was so hooked in the first time I watched Beneath, from the left turn it takes in the middle to its shocking finale. If the first movies ending was shocking, then this one is something else entirely. I don't think another movie affected me the way this one did. My 14-year-old self really had to process what I witnessed when it was over after that first time (for perspective, I'm 34 now). And as much as I love it, it still haunts me. Yet its a great B-movie with the best elements of pulp comics and vintage sci-fi thrown in.

@dolphinsrr well what I mean is the lower budget is evident with some of the ape masks. Which I get. You can't apply that kind of makeup on all of those extras. That's a lot. But I also think the ending, despite being one of my favorite parts, feels a bit rushed at times. But that doesn't take away my enjoyment of it. And wasn't Taylor's mission a one-way trip? Why rescue? Unless of course we go on that the signal Landon sent after the crash made its way back through time to Earth's past for them to send out another team to investigate. And our main heroes never really have any important interaction with the big bad, General Ursus. Yeah, Brent kills him, but what about before that? There's really nothing except them crossing paths while Brent plays mute. Again, even with those issues I have, I still love this movie.

I loved the secret autism idea thought process, as I also think the Mahiro character is the more interesting of the two but I also hope that the sequel goes into more depth for both of them. I could not stop watching both the action scenes and the scenes of Mahiro trying to communicate or being frustrated. The comedy reminds me a bit of Beat Takeshi's cop and gangster films, where he just doesn't care about his foes, so everything is just matter of fact during confrontation scenes.

I think the executives watched all the original characters to be present to maximize its success chance on the basis that the public liked them in the original movie, and the screenwriters didn't have enough time to develop the plot which picks up from where the first movie leaves us. Perhaps originally it was supposed to be Taylor and Nova who explore the Forbidden Zone and find the mutants, maybe the plan was to have 2 sides pitted against each other with Taylor and Nova caught inbetween, perhaps even siding reluctantly with Zaius - but due to the deadlines they didn't have enough time to develop the plot and instead borrowed the original plot to get us to the 2nd part that was intended to be actually the 1st part of the movie. In any case I fully agree that the 2nd part fully redeems the movie. Nova's speech and death is the high water mark for me - you know from there it won't end well, with Taylor and Brent now having nothing to defend and nothing to lose but their honour. Damn, gonna re-watch it now. Thank you!!!!
