The whole point going in to Unbreakable was NOT to know it was a superhero movie! And it is one of the best superhero movies of the past 20 years. TOTALLY underrated!

It’s a little bittersweet to watch Bruce’s movies now. Best wishes to him and his family. He’s had so many amazing films. This definitely one of the top.

One scene from this that always hits like a ton of bricks is when David and his son share the moment of realization at the kitchen table at the end

A masterpiece film. Can't believe it's 24 years old. Still holds up well.

The whole Unbreakable/Split/Glass trio was so good!! I went into Breakable not expecting The Sixth Sense, I didn’t need to. I guess we needed the gap in between for the story for the last 2 to tie things up. Now it’s cool to watch them all in a binge. I also love that even the kid who played David’s son came back later to play his role again, as well as Elijah’s mom.

I've watched Unbreakable many more times than I have The Sixth Sense. ✌️🤠

"Do you know what the scariest thing in the world is? To not know your place"

Unbreakable is still M. Night's best film. #JMHO

Now we need Split and Glass, please and thank you sir.

The best M. Night twist ending ever at the end of Split that it was in the Unbreakable universe. It was a giant cheer in the theater.

“No shooting friends Joseph” always makes me chuckle

I've rewatched unbreakable more than 6th sense for sure

Maybe it was the slow pace of the movie, but that ending had me stand up from my couch in shock. Never expected that ending, didn't see it coming and it hit me like a frying pan to my head. Wow. Excellent performance by all actors.

This is a seriously under rated movie.

"No more Playstation for that whiney little turd." 😂

I remember seeing that arm break scene in cinema too.

Another piece of trivia, Alex Ross did the artistist rendering in the newspaper .

You see the carnival ride scene in Glass ;)

I have all three of them on DVD. (Unbreakable, Split, and Glass.) This first film was amazing! 😎👍🎉🎊

I never watched _"The Sixth Sense"_ because everyone kept going on about how it ended before I'd even heard about the flippin' film! Thankfully I was able to watch Unbreakable without any spoilers and it was great.

Watched it when Split came out and couldn't believe they are related until the post-credt scene of Split. We need more grounded Superhero movies like these!

Actually great film. I wish more superhero films had depth to them instead of, whatever the hell modern MCU films are.

I went to see UNBREAKABLE twice in theaters . Great movie.

i knew about "glass", i didn't know about "split", thank you.

I loved that trilogy. Wish M would keep going with it

9:45 We had the PlayStation 2 by 2000

I disagree completely that the marketing should have said it's a superhero movie.

Love this movie, the story, the pacing, the characters, the music...... everything just fits together perfectly.

I made a drinking game out of taking a drink every time you said "The Sixth Sense". Good thing I was drinking coolaid.

The only one of his movies that I never really cared for was the lady in the water I also loved the village and signs I think he doesn’t get enough credit

Glass ending was good because M.Night isn't a sell out that milks franchises

Bruce Willis 'starring' in 'Loaded Weapon 1' is a pretty big stretch.

Minty, thanks for the hilariously, intelligent humor, especially after a tough day at the job. Keep it up.

If Minty had a superpower, we all know it would be mispronouncing words. Wait!

Fun fact: Bruce Willis trained his body to be unbreakable by sitting through dozens of train crashes.

Woah, what a twist!!

My favourite Shyamalan movie

This one and sixth sense is my favourites. Along a bunch of other movies. I love what you do Minty, i really appreciate it! Greetings from Sweden🇸🇪

I LOVE that this wasn't pitched as a superhero. There was something throughout the movie where you're really unsure whether David is or isn't something special. It just feels very tense and grounded and like no other superhero movie out there. Not knowing if this is genuine or some kind of delusional psychological horror.

I never saw Sixth Sense, everyone spoiled the twist so I was like "Well there's really no point now, it won't have the impact." I saw Unbreakable with no frame of reference to the director's other work and it still stands out as my favorite Shyamalan film

To be fair, at the time of production no one wanted to watch a superhero movie. The last few 90's Batman movies kind of ruined the idea of superhero movies. Thankfully X-men came out the same year and fixed that.

Loved this movie, as I thought the entire premise was refreshingly original and unique. Also, Bruce Willis plays nuanced characters very well.

Things that made it good, marketing didn't market is a comic book movie and you're not sure if it's real until like 75% of the way through the movie. So even if the studio didn't want to market it as a super hero movie, I think it helped.

One of my all time favorite movies.

I remember seeing this movie in the theater, and going in thinking that it was going to be an incredible bloodbath (I hadn't seen, and still haven't, The Sixth Sense). I was shocked at how cerebral it ended up being, but it's one of my favorite movies.

Great choice! Loved that movie, and yes, I prefer it to Sixth Sense.

One day my sister's boyfriend got me really stoned and right after we walk back in the house my dad came home. As I was sitting on a stool in the kitchen my dad gave me a long look, and asked "Do you want to go see a movie?" And Unbreakable was what he took me to. It was amazing being super baked also helped but we both loved it.

As much as The Sixth Sense deserves its praise, this is my favorite Shyamalan film. Great tribute to comic book stories and relatable characters throughout.

Weird upload time for you Minty. Awesome movie. My personal fave from M Night

Do The Village. That's my fav Shyamalan movie

The Sixth Sense is a great movie, but its "twist" (as wild as it is) makes it less re-watchable. Unbreakable is very re-watchable. Plus, it has Samuel L. Jackson... so how can you go wrong?

@Minty Franklin Field is Part of the University of Pennsylvania, which was founded by Benjamin Franklin.

I love Unbreakable, and it's the batman sequel. David Dunn is a very interesting person, and not doing what you are made to do can make you depressed or longing for more. I feel if they went for the plane crash, it would have definitely given away a little too soon the twist, plus it might have made people not want to watch it after well the events of 2001. I love Split and bits of Glass. I very much encourage you to cover Spilt and Glass in the future! I watched these films before starting my community college, and they stayed within my mind after Psychology Class. There is so much depth in the films! I didn't mind David's Son, but yeah, that gun scene, right out of left field, lol. Great video, even if I researched some of this before, but not all of it. - Luke

Honestly if it wasn’t for Split and Glass, I wouldn’t have known of Unbreakable and I can see why it had Grown a Cult Following Over the Years and I can say it’s one of the most Underrated Comic Bookish Films Ever Made with Willis and Jackson nailing the Roles and that Twist was Unexpected, Brilliant, and in a Sense Emotional.

The Playstation launched in Japan in 1994. You would be smashing a PS2.

I remember I liked this film when it came out and was pretty tired of hearing people say it was "good but not at good as the 6th sense" or how they were "looking for the twist". I saw a bio of Rod Serling some time later talking about how much he hated people expecting a twist in all of his work and couldn't help but think Unbreakable suffered for similar reasons. In any event, I always loved the soundtrack for this film, it captures the feeling of David rising to become a hero and finsing who he is in a way that is somehow reserved in it's scale but still triumphant and epic. Reflecting the setting and themes od the film very well, I felt at least.

One of my favourite Bruccy films thanks Mark

I missed The Sixth Sense when it came out (for which I will kick myself for the rest of my life) but I was lucky enough to catch this

I remember seeing the county fair part as well. Unless it was on the DVD.

For some reason the little kid in this movie reminded me of the banjo kid from Deliverance. He creeped me out.

I called the number right now... I don't think it's a Disney number anymore

I'm sure there were others but sixth Sense was one of the first movies that I ever saw that had like a crazy ass twist at the end that I did not see coming I love that s***!!!!!!👍👍👍

Seen it in the cinema...love it, bravo Minty

People survive plane crashes in real life quite often. That's why there's always that question of where to bury the survivors if it's on an international border. 😅

I remember than scene where he breaks his arm on the Tilt-A-Whirl, too. I think they have some scenes that they decide to delete after it was out fir a while uf it the movie isn't doing well. When I saw Constantine in the theater, there was a scene at Papa Midnight's that showed John had a relationship with a demon. She is the one they focus on first after they put the cross in the sprinkler system.

On the DVD they explain that M. Knight had pretty much an entire pseudo version of The Avengers planned. There were designs for a speedster who was a high school track star, a shapeshifter ex-convict who was a woman, a telepath of some sort, and a Namor/Aquaman like character. All of whom were meant to be in JUST Unbreakable before getting their own films, and eventually a finale team up movie against The Horde and his master, Mister Glass, who was meant to transform into an almost Doctor Doom like character, wearing a protective suit to keep him from getting hurt any further.

@9:45 "yep, no more playstation for that whiny little turd." My wife and I clipped that bit, and are going to use it whenever our daughter talks back 😂

It’s actually based on a 90s comic book trend of #0 comic book issues. Essentially what happened right before what you saw in issue #1. So there you go something you didn’t know about unbreakable. But that’s why it’s just an “origin” story. Also I seem to recall different versions of the story coming out at different times of splitting it up but I think a producer at some point had said this could be a series/franchise at some point when it was one larger movie and that rejected in the moment it ultimately planted the seed.

I don't think I ever saw it in theaters, but I definitely remember watching it shortly after it released on video. I had friends who knew about it and insisted I watch. Instant classic - I still have it in multiple formats at this point. I don't like how uncomfortable the movie makes me a lot of the time, but there is something about it that draws me in every time. Thanks for diving into this one!

Smash my Playstation all you want, my N64 is the real gold of the era, IMO.

I just saw that deleted scene of Elijah at the fair. I just watched Split and Glass, so maybe it was in Glass.

Great to hear you use What Culture as part of your research. I really dig those chaps! Now I want the Minty x What Culture Show, since you're all so entertaining! Thanks Minty!

You have great deep dives to my favorite stuff brother. Keep it up.

Unbreakable, split and glass are brilliant films. The soundtrack to unbreakable is amazing I still get chills when I hear it.

Fun fact: in the dinner scene with his wife, he was dead the whole time. Also ShamalamaDingdong 😅

After all the explosions, all the pomp and circumstance of the DCEU/ MCU...this is how superhero movies should be...

Damn how many movies does Sam Jackson and Bruce Willis star in together?

Good thing that David didn't accidentally touch Elijah by incidental contact earlier in the film. 😂😂😂😂

Awesome! Your up early man...only almost 7am

Don’t forget they were in Glass together (the sequel or 3rd film in the Unbreakable trilogy). Split being the 2nd, but only had Willis in it at the end.

ohhhh i feel a BEAST is next.. and after a reunion with a glassy foe

We all know he got lucky with the success of Split and was able to link the other Unbreakable premise to it. Nothing more nothing less.

Great movie

I think one of the main reasons the movie was not as financially successful as, "Sixth Sense", was the fact the story was a superhero film grounded in reality. Up to that point, the superhero movies the audiences had been exposed to were still based upon comic book fantasy, with over-the-top scenes that you would expect from those type of films. This movie took a more realistic look what if a man had these special gifts but grounded in reality. Of course, then we got its sequels Split and Glass. Love it or hate it this trilogy series really was done quite brilliantly, and sadly the ending of the series could have been better, which I think left audiences with a sense of a letdown. Great video Minty.

This is my favorite M. Shamalamadigdong movie by far. Except when Mr. Glass explains all the obvious, I just mute or leave the room when the unfortunate act happens. Thanks again, Australian guy

It's my favourite movie of Shyamalan's, and I really did like the angle of a 'superheroes, but realistic'. You can actually imagine someone like him existing IRL; naturally gifted with tougher bones and strength, stronger than they appear they should be, and amazing instincts for people, and some people just never seem to get sick. Even his weakness makes sense in context; someone like that IRL would almost certainly have denser bones and musculature, so they'd probably sink. Him getting sick when near drowning could just be considered "Well, they nearly died, it makes sense that even a strong immune system would have issues under those circumstances." It sounds rather plausible, when you take it from that angle. There are in fact people out there with unusual natural talents. Maybe not to the level of surviving deadly accidents without even scratches because 'just that tough', but some people can do some pretty amazing feats, though they usually involve a lot of training.

He absolutely did know about the Superman incident. Even when I was a kid growing up during the 70's teachers and parents would discuss this because they themselves actually grew up when it happened. We were warned. Shyamalan being a GenX'er and a super hero comic book buff watching reruns of Superman on a constant on the weekends as a kid like I did...🤔

This is one of my favorite movies. I had no idea it was a superhero movie when I went to see it but being a comic book geek I settled into it pretty quickly. And I was kicking myself for not knowing how it would end until Elijah said "this is where we shake hands". I should have seen it coming but I fell for the twist. I quietly spergged out when I saw the end of Split with David. Damn shame about Glass though.

I HADN'T seen the sixth sense. So when I caught this movie on cable, WAY back when, well I enjoyed it! And still do.

One of my favorite movies... A brilliant take on superhero movies

Never clicked with this on its release. Going to try it again after watching Minty’s excellent recap.

Unbreakable is my favorite Shyamalan film and my favorite superhero film. My second favorite Shyamalan film is Lady in the Water. I love the Guardian! Btw, the scene of young Elijah getting hurt on the carnival ride is actually used in Glass.

One of my all time favorites

This and Signs are my favorites

The train scene hits different now once you’ve seen Glass.

Thankfully, I rented Unbreakable knowing it was a 'real life' superhero movie, and I LOVED it. I bought the director's cut immediately and lost count of how many times I watched it (though I haven't watched it in years, now). I kind of feel bad for M. Night, since his first movie was such a breakout, every movie thereafter is compared to it. I actually really like "The Village" and "Signs", too.

Hey minty, please oh please do a 10 things you didnt know about iron eagle..

Love your videos! Please keep creating!!❤

16:09 I called the number just now. It was something about a free medical alert pendant.

Sixth Sense also had one of the greatest endings of all time, and Unbreakable had one of the most anticlimactic endings of all time.
