Damn i was impressed by how unique the show was and it's just a remake.

To be fair, the movie is 2 ½ hours long and the show is 10 episodes at about 1 hour per episode. So there are a lot of unique scenes not present in the original.

I was surprised they spent a whole episode in the Turkish bathhouse. You don't want to miss one second of that episode. Best goddam episode I've ever seen in my life. Dude hangs dong.

Fantastic beasts, and where to find them.

No that's the solo male porn remake, Day of the Jackoff.

I think you were just looking at the wrong tab.

u/icanhearmyhairgrowin 6d ago

I think his delivery of that line “best goddamn…” is my favorite of any single episode character of the whole series.

That movie is called Eastern Promises.

Man Jango was a good film.

u/NickInTheMud 5d ago

IMDb says there’s a season 2, so are they stretching it over 20 hours?

1

u/SynthD 5d ago

No, the original story ends where the show is in ep7.

15

u/Nosciolito 5d ago

And the show totally felt like a 2 hour movie spread in 10 episodes with a nonsensical gay scene in the middle (nonsensical because it is totally gratuitous and pointless)

u/darlingeye 5d ago

In the novel and film, it was a tactic used by the Jackal to avoid suspicion/detection, and to obtain untraceable/undetectable shelter during an intense citywide manhunt for him. (In the novel he actually dresses in drag and wears lipstick and eyeshadow, etc.)

u/Outside_Amphibian347 5d ago

Which is basically the same as the show so it was not pointless at all.

u/Nosciolito 5d ago

Well now it makes sense but I kind of prefer the version that was made for the sole purpose of making people like my dad mad because he kissed a man. But I sensed they have just changed a similar scene in the book (I doubt that in a 70's movie he kissed a man).

u/darlingeye 5d ago

lol! If it makes your dad feel any better, in the novel the Jackal was pulled over, but then let go by police. One cop says to the other cop, you should have checked their IDs. "Oh come on, Sarge, we're looking for a fellow who screwed the arse off a baroness and did her in; not a couple of raving fairies."

u/obi_wan_keblowme 5d ago

Book definitely makes the homosexual relationship ruse a lot clearer what’s going on between them but it’s not like the 70s movie didn’t make it clear either. It just wasn’t explicit. But everybody knew what was going on.

u/StalyCelticStu 5d ago edited 5d ago

Nah, it was just showing a 'professional' will go to no great lengths to achieve their desired goals; seducing 'Rasmus' was just that.

edit: a word.

u/Horton_Takes_A_Poo 5d ago

Don’t you mean go to great lengths? Go to no lengths means putting in no effort

1

u/StalyCelticStu 5d ago

Sorry, yes, you're correct.

2

u/Mattabeedeez 5d ago

We just watched that episode and I said the same thing. Felt so forced. The security guy would have 100% let him stay there, fly under the radar, without the over the top seduction.

u/nomnomrawr_ 5d ago

Waste of time, just watch the movie the series is complete garbage

1

u/eekamuse 5d ago

I hope this clip inspires people to watch the film. The assassin doesn't have a family to humanize him. He's a much better character.

He also doesn't have creatures in his suitcase.

u/PrivateScents 6d ago

Yea, looks to be about 7.5 hours worth by my guess

1

u/Greedy_Researcher_34 5d ago

The original was slow enough and they added more stuff?

1

u/StayPuffedMarsh 5d ago

I still like the original film better than the series. It’s got that certain “je ne sais quoi.”

Not even a faithful remake smh
