Perhaps the coreographers were trying to make the final guy's fight more suspenseful. But they seem to've completely forgotten how they've portrayed reacher's fights up until then. He runs through a gang of prison lifers with shanks, foreign ex special forces and trained assassins and the guy who almost kills him in an one on one fight is the featherweight hilbilly kid with a crowbar?

There's no such thing as "not believable" in these films. They figure the typical audience will accept any fantasy, no matter how ludicrous, if it advances the video game sensibility. This scene in particular is outrageously non-credible. The fact that this massive human machine Reacher is being wailed on by a much smaller guy who has a crowbar is the first illogical premise. After destroying others with ease, Reacher is supposed to be victimized by this one bad guy before finally recovering underwater, without having sucked in enough pool water to fill his lungs, and manages to retrieve a pistol and shoot the baddie. Well, at least it isn't that deplorable Scientology promoter Tom Cruise again.

Glad I wasn’t the only one who thought the tangle with Dawson was drawn out unrealistically. Reacher would have owned him in “less than 10 seconds”. It really killed the drama in the whole sequence. I know they probably feel they don’t want the “hero” always winning too easily for TV drama but sorry, you chose to adapt this character and he is, what he is. Just write better opponents that it seams feasible they would test him, whether through guile or strength. You can’t have him take out three ex-military as easy as breathing and then struggle with the scrawny “Nephew”.

It is very realistic.

So for those wondering what happens in the book: the scrawny dude with the crowbar isn't there and it's the Kliner kid with 4 other guys. Reacher ninjas the 4 guys with almost no issues but misses his shot on the Kliner kid because of the rain. They struggle and the Kliner kid misses a couple shots before Reacher throws him into the pool. Then Reacher jumps on top of him and almost rips his head off choking him under water. So there was a bit of a struggle but he doesn't get fucked up by a 5'6" 120 pound dude with a crowbar like he does here. A little bit of artificial drama for sure but it doesn't ruin the scene for me. The rest of it is so accurate to how it's portrayed in the book, it's fantastic.

It was odd seeing the tiny guy get the better of Reacher but they did stage the fight in a way that made it somewhat believable, a small guy with a crowbar still hits harder than a big guy with his fists. The little guy had the initiative and kept at it until Reacher was down, it’s not like they were trading blows. The most unrealistic part was actually the fact that Reacher wasn’t way more f’d up afterwards when he was taking his shower. He should have had massive bruising all over.

As much as I love it, there are a few blows where it’s game over. The crowbar swipe to the face, you’re talking smashed skull or at least a broken jawbone. There are a few gripes like that, but it’s better than most action films out there.

Every show has that one "big moment" that really defines the show. (example: The Mountain's trial in GoT). This scene was supposed to be it. We see these 4 guys absolutely torture multiple families throughout the season and you're thinking 'I can't wait for Reacher to take them out'. The moment comes and starts off so well, some quick brutal kills and when you're expecting the best kill to be last, they make it a dramatic drawn out fight where the hero narrowly escapes. It completely ruined the moment and destroyed what Reacher was about. That first swing of the crowbar, Reacher would have closed the gap and headbutted him in fact this doesn't even happen in the book. A real missed opportunity for that big moment.

Great series, not discrediting it in the slightest but this scene was probably my least favourite moment in the show. Very frustrating how he could've wiped the floor with that guy but because he was one of the villains and had backstory he can kick reachers ass.

As someone who has read every Reacher book multiple times this scene was my only real problem with the whole season. Especially when this scene is done so brilliantly in the book. Could have shot it scene for scene and it would have been perfect. The whole point of Reacher is that he can easily dispatch multiple opponents with barely a scratch as was shown in the earlier episodes. This scrawny guy should have been a 2 second job not able to charge Reacher through a window. He should have run into Reacher and bounced off of him like he hit a brick wall. I was glad they didn’t do a long drawn out fight with KJ at the end, that would have ruined the ending, especially when the book ends with half a dozen gun shots.

Okay, my biggest gripe I have with this show is Reacher being able to take out a golden glove boxer at a bar, a ton of inmates at a prison, what seems like dozens of fully armed Venezuelans who are trained and yet he somehow struggles and almost dies against a 120lb Dawson Kliner who he got the jump on. Is there some back story in the book that supports this? If not, then it seems inconsistent and weird that a 6'5'' 250lb Tank gets nerfed and clobbered by some scrawny shrimp with a crowbar(also, the crowbar would've broken his bones). Reacher also seems to struggle against KJ and then kills him anticlimactically. Like, he got the jump on him several times but couldn't shoot straight when he demonstrated he could shoot just fine earlier in the series? Whoever directed these fights needs to be educated on tropes, physics, choreography, or just plain fired for being ignorant and incompetent.

Eh they're trying to showcase how terrifyingly strong he is . like.... the dude got a nail stuck in his head and shot in the chest with a .38. the explaination for his survival was a thick skull and muscle tissue so dense it acted like a kevlar vest. In short he's freakish big and freakish strong.

The thing that bothered me about this scene was the fact that he took out all the professional killers easily, but the untrained, pipsqueak cousin of the rich kid was the toughest opponent. It's absurd. Superhuman bad guys in a non-superhero movie/show are ridiculous.

This last part was a lot to ask of the viewing audience. Actually, it's virtually impossible to believe as even remotely plausible.

I really liked Teacher disabling two bad guys on a plane trip in one of Lee 's books...can't recall which. He systematically broke fingers, thumbs wrists and then thoughtfully made sure they were seated comfortably for the rest of the flight. Just magical "theatre of the mind" This guy IS Jack Reacher , eh ?

I’ll give you one, maybe two. But as many times as he just forearm checked a crowbar, from his elbow to his wrist would be completely done.

I picture Reacher next day saying a Chris Farley line “ doesn’t hurt here or here but pretty much Right Here “ ( paraphrasing) 😂👊🏼

Those must be China made dense foam crow bars.

The whole point of book Reacher fight scenes is that a single blow to the head has a 90% chance of basically taking you out of commission for the entire fight. Stupid scene.

There's no fucking way that guy is using his arms after blocking a crowbar once let alone how many times he got hit, I don't care if he's wearing titanium bracers. Plus you'd be dead getting hit in the face with one. The writer is on fucking druuuuugs

One of the best series out now

In this scene, Reacher takes more hits than in the entire series of the books - from a smaller guy, armed with only a crowbar! Doubt which is actually closer to reality: the books or this scene. (I'll skip the bit about a semi-auto pistol firing underwater...)

@@JamesDavis-vm9gw I was counting the number of times that crowbar actually hit him. As for that .38 bullet, Reacher was wearing, for him, natural body armour. Let me quote the doctor: "The damn bullet didn't even make it *into* your chest. Your pectoral muscle is so thick and so dense it stopped it dead. It popped out the other side of the muscle wall and smashed a rib, but it went no farther". Just shows what digging swimming pools by hand in Key West can do for a man's physique.

If the firing pin strikes the primer with enough force, yes it will fire. Being one of the few gas operated pistols it may overpressure parts of the gun. The Deagle is robust so only damage may be to gas seals. Bottom line, it may well fire, likely only once. Probably won't cycle the slide fully if at all. My biggest problem is Reacher carrying a Deagle in the first place. If he wants a large frame autoloader then carry a USP 45. Someone with Reacher's training and experience would never carry a Desert Eagle.

Definitely. The Deagle is too flashy and also doesn’t carry enough ammo. There’s a .45 called the ParaOrdinance P14, which holds 14 rounds instead of the traditional 7.

One thing about this fight scene that IS good is the sound design. The weather announcement about storms in the background of the fight added a cool ambience.

Who agrees that this Actor playing Reacher would be the PERFECT new Terminator X with James cameron directing ?

I only ever caught two situations where the show turned me off 1) once jack said "a silencer makes the gun less accurate at close range" and 2) when he walked into the room with Finley being held at gunpoint near the end they woulda just shot him right there but that's all I noticed which is rly impressive. 9.5/10 tv show would recommend.

Have you ever noticed how, in movies, when a fight happens during a rainy night...there is an ungodly frequency of lightning? Juuust enough to light up the scenes, all the way through.

So officially this dude is stronger then Vam Dame. I thought no one could withstand that much hits like Van Dame does but this dude is something else.

I’m hooked by all these videos. I’m going to have to watch the series !

Dozens of full power hits to the head, torso and forearms with a freaking CROWBAR ???? What next, a five foot tall girl in a ballgown and high heels beating the living crap out of a room full of muscular bodyguards oh yes there we go.............

Great scene. I'm quite pleased with this rendition of Reacher.

His ribs must been made of made of steel to take that many hits with the crowbar. And then 5 minutes later he walks away like it was nothing.

Reachers bones can withstand crowbar bludgeoning multiple times. Nice hollywood

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this was stupid. If that skinny guy got hit once by this monster of a man, it's lights out. And the part where he literally holds Reacher made me lol. Weight categories matter!

Binged this series twice already but still re-watch the action sequences if they pop on my YT feed

i love the way REACHER reacts to anyone out there especially to people including teenagers who thinks they can do anything they like

Having not read the novels and only watching the Cruise movies, I feel like the creators behind the series have either misunderstood or forgotten who & what kind of man Jack Reacher is. One of the best things in the movies is that without taking things too far away from the reality, they managed to conjure up a portrait of a man, who is as vulnerable as any human but who just does not give others the opportunity to hurt him. Now, he is supposed to be a guy, who blocks crowbars with his forearms and does not have a scratch in his jaw after getting whacked in the face with it.

@@thenakedmango6572 Crowbar to the face dude, crowbar to the face. Which do you think would be the bigger issue, height or having a steel bar smashed several times in your jaw, forehead, cheeks, torso and arms? I don't care about some height of the actor when the movies are one of the few movies produced in the States, which don't go full Mchael Bay and the characters actually get hurt, when in the series, the main protagonist can block 44 lbs steelbars with his arms and survives with tiny cut in his lip after several blows to the head with the same 44 lbs steelbar. The series seems to be wildly unrealistic, which the movies are not. Beyond outstanding does not mean that your physics can defy laws of nature and that muscle and bone are harder than cold steel. It means that you simply don't give any opportunities for anyone to hit you with a crowbar (especially if their half of your size). You don't have to be 6 ft 5 and weigh 210 pounds to be able be beyond outstanding in all hand-to-hand cqc, and that the movies got right. Reacher in the novels and in the movies is just as vulnerable as any of us is. His body is a roadmap of pain - gunshot scars, torn open abdomen and stab wounds, shrapnel scars etc. But in the series crowbars for example don't seem to have an effect in human bodies.

When my friend got hit in the face with a tire iron he lost all his top teeth, Reacher must have strong teeth.

I laid around last Sunday and watched the hole series it was great some off the wall but other wise best series in a long time

Blocking crow bar with arm you only do one time, for the next hit the arm will be broken, no matter how tough you might be.

Imagine season 2 directed by Gareth Evan

There was a time in my life that l wish ld had a Reacher..gotta love that man.

I love how the second guy pulls up his leg to assist being dumped into the trucks bed.

The “book” Reacher was an expert in brawling and defensive tactics. He would have finished off that guy in a matter of seconds. Far too many extended fight scenes in this series making Reacher look like he has few D.T. skills.

Don't care how badass you are, no one can take a hit from a crowbar and still be able to use your arms. It would be more believable if he avoided the hits or ran off and waited for an opportunity to attack again.

The average viewer: dam reacher just got his ass whooped Me, an intellectual: he aint got no boots on

Best fight scene in history.

the last guy should have used the sharp side of the crowbar and made a piñata. but that would also end the show

The scene with 4th guy was ridiculous. He was beaten by a countryside dwarf. I don't even mention the crowbar hits... Even in this kind of movie, it was just stupid. His arms would be in pieces.

That guy basically kicked Reacher’s ass. The only time it happens in the whole series. If the gun wasn’t there, who knows.

Well, at least one of the killers was competent in a fight. Although there is no way Reacher would have survived being smashed in the head with a crowbar like that. That blow would have killed anyone, I don't care how big or strong.

If I pay some money to buy a pair of shoes, wasn't happy and criticized them, will people whine and cry about it? Then if paying customers complain about a show, why do some people take it personally? What's the logic behind it? Are they so lonely, they confuse a show and actors for family and friends whom they need to defend personally from any criticism?
