Situation Critical: Hollywood Shootout - Part 1/5

[mrwestist]

see this is why everyone with enough sense to use guns should have them every where they go everyday. handgun on you and something a little bigger in the car like ar 15 or ak, you cant go wrong! the average handgun isn't going to go through any armor but the 556x45, .223, or the ak 5.45x39 and 7.62x39 will get to em. just fmj will do the job.

[clocker125]

they are heroes, tried to fight versus system and down, god blessed their souls.

[sunuvaBASTARD]

Wow. Imagine if those guys were not just spraying but taking more controlled shot. Then it would been a whole diffrent story. And why didnt the cops come equipped with ARs? When the call was dispatched it sayd suspect armed with aks. They shoul have stopped to get ARs on the way

[ricak47]

@sunuvaBASTARD Regular officers weren't allowed to carry heavy weopons. Only swat or other specialized officers at that time were allowed.

[SuperSoldier4Freedom]

@ricak47 Why dont banks carry atleast 1 weapon ?

[ricak47]

@SuperSoldier4Freedom They do, but usually its only one security gaurd with that only carries a handgun which most of the time is a revolver. I don't think it would be a smart move to shoot a huy that has an ak and heavy body armor all over his body with a small revolver.

[Hjernespreng]

@SuperSoldier4Freedom

Only security guards do.

The other people working there are trained to not do ANYTHING rash, and be cooperative.

[MaddDogg81]

That Corwn Victoria wasn't the older style from 1997 but newer ones made after 2003 or so

[fiedler12345]

in a remarkable coincidence, two officers make the peculiar assumption that the two giant men walking into a bank with ak-47's, dressed in all black with ski masks on may be up to no good.

[gigobait]

Made in Romania?? They wish...

[ciulea0]

@gigobait there is a model made only in Romania: PM-15. if you look closeley, Matasareanu uses this type of weapon at the beginning of the shootout

[missymocha]

Martin is my boss, thnx for uploading this!

[sinusbradycardia]

@missymocha Tell Martin he is one lucky one, because if Larry Philips wanted to, he could have finished job. I think he just wanted to officers to suffer.

To bad Larry was on the wrong side of law, with his love of weaponry he could have been a great swat or snipe.

If the officer is still there that got in his patrol car, he has my highest regard. He took the risk to save lives.

However, there are many people to admire and my two are Gary Gordan and Randy Shughart. Look em up.

[mckinley1175]

@sinusbradycardia If Gordon or Shughart would of been there they would of sniped the robbers heads right off.

[sinusbradycardia]

@mckinley1175 Yes they would have. I had no idea how ill equipped these officer were. Not their fault. I just take it for granted that there are snipers at law enforcements disposal.

[mohiahmed1]

speekin of cops with weak gun in the movie swat when this scene happens theres a blooper where 2 cops run down the street to a gun store and buy m16 w/ armor piercing rounds

[pokemaina78]

i wish the police use desert eagle's and .357 revolver

[clydedsouza46]

Somebody please tell me clearly which armor these bank robbers used in this shootout?

[Younowkoed]

@clydedsouza46

Standard Kevlar body armour, NIJ IIIA probably, with trauma plates, custom sewn together by Larry Philips himself to protect arms and legs too.

[flip1sba]

SWAT could have finished them off.

[JonestownHangover]

@flip1sba

Yes hiding behind their riot shield like cowards so they can go home to their families and tuck their spoiled brats in at night.

[flip1sba]

@JonestownHangover if that is the case, it would not look good for the police force that pioneered this kind of special unit.

[02Ctu2486]

I just noticed a little flaw after the crooks enter the bank. Pause it at 8:43 and you'll notice that the AK-47 has a regular clip in it rather than the 100 round drums that were in it earlier.

[QuidamByMoonlight]

I'm disgusted by some of the comments on here. Phillips was likely a sociopath, and this is not a video game. Killing cops and civilians is not a joke. Saying that you want to "plug a pig in the face" is appauling, even if you don't like most cops. And if you're serious about that, God help you... On another note, this trend has happened before. During the prohibition, cops and feds were outgunned by criminals...but I understand why we don't want cops with automatic rifles...

[junkrat1]

an ak with a range of 1500m? what a fucking crock of shit LOL. Its range is about 350-550 to be effective. get ur facts right yo

[TheGnomelandSecurity]

Why send these measly officers and not send in swat? which has never failed when it comes to hostages

[Dusco25]

American cops are trained better than most nations army

[MRELTUCO2]

Cops being killed and shot at,not that's a show I would watch.

[flyhi4everXOXO]

Awesome video. Thanks for uploading.

[albob1o2]

Those guys have balls i have respect for them,,,

[johannjackunterweger]

@albob1o2 i agree.

[ButterbatProductions]

They should have had swat there straight away or aimed there 9mm pistol above his head by a couple of meters and the bullet could have swiveled down and hit him in the head? one bullet to the head and its all over. just saying...

[SippinonMickeys]

@ButterbatProductions WTF are you talking about? 9mm swiveled down. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. This isn't COD, it was real. Just saying... duh.

[ViperChief117]

I think that North hollywood shootout would make for an epic movie if it was ever made, I know they've made made for tv movies on this subject but I think Hollywood could do a better job at it, most of the tv films are low budget and kinda fake.

[johnosandra]

@ViperChief117 THERE IS A MOVIE ON IT ITS CALLED 44 MINUTES TYPE IT IN ON GOOGLE YOU CAN WATCH THE FULL VERSION ON MEGAVIDEO

[TaZ101SAGA]

"with a range of 1500m" - WTF?

[TaZ101SAGA]

@KarinMikazuki It has a maximum effective range of 300 yards average.

[hurleyOC]

ak-47's with 100 round drums attached to them the cops and the there little standard 9mm berrettas didnt stand a chance

[gmd1417]

THE REAL CROOKS ARE BANKS LIKE BANK OF AMERICA. THE AVERAGE AMERICAN PAYS FOR HIS HOME IN INTEREST TO THESE CRIMINALS---F*CK BOA

[AZMALING]

5 ppl are terrorists

[muttilo]

Nobody does it better than Nat Geo !! Except BBC or something for docs 4 sho

[Demolasha]

AK47 deadliest weapon of all time >_>

[bvestationfan]

police body armor doesnt stop Ak 47 shots 

[DasBeck]

Dumbasses in LA would've let their cops carry better firepower these two dolts woulda been down in seconds

[coldbedsheets]

sorry but ak-47's are not "machine guns" they are "assault rifles".

[hitomcd]

R.I.P. Emil & Larry , Clean Job Dudes

watch?v=dGUzAi8YjIo

[Sethmyrrh]

I wonder how many hours Ive spent watching footage on this incident. These guys are just fucking amazing. Truly fearless.

[BashProductions123]

@MrCool63 Actually these guys were pretty smart. They planned it for weeks and imported Armoured Piercing rounds. They also created their own armour suits, implanting steel plates, covering vital organs. Just because they didn't know how to use a weapon to it's full potential, doesn't mean someone is brainless. But, of course I'm not sticking up for em'. Scum like this deserve what they get >:(

[xfire336]

ima gangster im a strait up g the gangsta life is da life for me

[MrCool63]

i swear... if these stupid criminals had took the time to actually AIM! down the sights this would have been much worse... thank god most criminals are brainless

[ravingjunkey]

@MrCool63 Didn't you even watch the start around 8:00 when they were just talking about how SMART Larry Eugene Phillips was.

[MrCool63]

@ravingjunkey he's a jackoff. I don't care what THEY said... If he was half-way intelligent he would have actually used his sights....

[babahihibaba]

the other doc of this is better...

[Niksa123456789]

made in Romania?

[nuerhaci]

@Niksa123456789 That rifle they had was a Romanian version :)

[TaZ101SAGA]

@Niksa123456789 Romanian AIMS Wire Stock.

[omgholyshitgoddammit]

very interesting makes me wanna rob your house wit a knife and a sponge

[hellzshotgun]

i love this episode

[SilverTissues]

150 not 1500. That would make it a semi long range sniper.

[Kane16802]

@SilverTissues and also There never was any Romy AiMS rifles, its a misconception that came about because of the foregrip on Phillips rifle, someone mistook it for the one on a AiMS PMD 65 rifle and the Wikipedia entry was altered, the rifles were without a shadow of a doubt Chinese Norinco Type 56's.

[DavySigfusson]

I love how they introduce the weapons and all... even thought I knew all of it. :D

Thx for the awesome upload

[Snuggleumpakis]

Someone like to play lots of Army of Two

[ravingjunkey]

Security Guard died of shrapnel wounds -_-

[omgxxxomg]

lol 1500 meter range for an ak

[timlandscheidt]

Nice police tactics: Upon seeing two robbers entering a bank, you park a marked patrol car right outside so that a simple robbery can escalate to a hostage situation. Is that really standard training in the US?

[JoshIMayes]

If those motherfuckers had crotch rockets, they'd be in Jamaica right now, smoking ganja on the beach.

[banhedda]

upload seconds from disaster

[barbelotta]

R.I.P,

U see, this is the result of the Forced Military Stage, Romanians were forced to do the Army from 19 years old to 21, from the first world war, unitl 2007 when the Romanians got into European Union, they got 600 000 soldiers per year so u can imagine about the yong guys from Romania :D.

Im rly sorry for the inocents who died there god bless then all.

And yes, thats a Romanian AK-47 (full auto) :-)

[madpaintbalerx]

Actually nobody died except the criminals, amazingly.

[billypaul1234]

i love it that they gave background info on the 2 robbers

[grumpypant]

In 1989, a mad gunman named Patcrick Purdy stormed into a Stockton, CA elementary schoolyard and killed a dozen of school kids; the aftermath showed an AK-47 bullet hole RIGHT THROUGH a steel basketball pole!...

...one round into a human body can tear it up badly!!!

[billypaul1234]

@grumpypant i used to live in stockton, california

[johannjackunterweger]

@grumpypant yeah...pat purdy was a fool who believe to be at war with the world and shot innocent children...i have no respect for him...those guys have balls instead

[omgxxxomg]

The ak-47 doesn't have a range of 1500 meters...

[arrowghost]

A good show, imagine the whole movie sounds are replaced with Counter Strike sounds.

Too bad that the AK47 part is made in Romania, but in reality, it's actually made in the Soviet Union by Mikhail Kalashnikov.

[robtehgod]

ty for uploading these are great

[sugarpiemeowmix]

Thank you so much for posting this. I had no idea this happened and I just wonder how it got completely by me at the time. Please post more Situation Critical!

[SPRules44]

"you can find just about every single episode on youtube, except for the mining disaster one" - dolphinsneu

This was posted earlier but I accidelty deleted it.

Yes, you can find very episode besides the mining one, nearly all of them at my channel. I'm uploadinh the mining one soon.

[MiClLC]

I wonder if the AK's were true automatics or if they were simply set to bump fire.

[LelandTheLush]

Trust me man they were fully automatic. I watched this live on the news back in 97 when I was a teenager, these guys weren't fucking around.

[kalasnikov121]

@SPRules44 what about episode from discovery civilization ?

[DenHaagDenHaag]

@sugarpiemeowmix there is allso movie about this story you can find it also on youtube , have fun

[saxonrox]

Does anyone know the name of the narrator?

[SPRules44]

Rufus Jones

[morningtruth]

This isn't as good as the other situation critical videos - like taliban uprising.. check that one out.

[KkrazyVato]

im seeing the movie of

this right now

[mattbrownbill]

you guys should watch 44 minutes its a movie about the events of this shoot out and an excellent movie at that

[gangbangin69]

wow that is so effed up,

i heared they fired like 1100 rounds at the cops

GOD BLESS THE BOYS IN BLUE!!

[Spitfire995]

@gangbangin69 fuck the cops. the only reason the shooting stopped is cuz they ran out of ammo. mannnn i wish i coulda helped emil and larry that day i wouldnt care about the money at all i just always wanted to shoot a fucking pig in his face and watch him bleed to death. someone should avenge emil's death because the cops made him bleed out. fucking bitches

[SkylineToTheSeaAndMe]

@Spitfire995 - I wish you could have helped larry and emil that day too.

[Spitfire995]

@SkylineToTheSeaAndMe yea we woulda gotten away cuz we would actually KILL THE COPS

[davidhlusko]

@Spitfire995 and of course, they didn't do the same? Right??

[narkie5k]

I Like at 2:43 they show the movie Heat

[191x7]

i saw this on the show Shootout on History channel

[albob1o2]

were are these two guys from are they american or same thing else,,,

[soccom8341576]

It is so obvious the NG is FOR gun control, whether you like it or not.

everyone has the right to protect themself with adequete means.

They get the facts wrong too. There is no way the AK can fire to 1500meters properly.

[Grungeguy1991]

U obviously don't know wat ur talking about. And don't know much about guns. The AK is a machine gun in the form of an assult rifle, it was designed like a mg, and it is an mg. And It can fire 1500 meters, if the shooter is carefully aiming. DUMB ASS!!!!!! (I'm a music man, and i know my guns better than u)

[soccom8341576]

1500 meters? Show me. Where you got that from?

If you do, it is still obvious that most of us cannot do so, especially when you're getting shot at directly.

Yes, the AK is an so-called "military style assault rifle". But if it is a good way to protect yourself, I see it as a good idea not to have it illegal to own one.

The AKs used in this shootout were illegally modified.

[WooDpenis]

u don't know what your talking about... a machine gun is a like a browning 50cal. a light machine gun is m60.. a AK just like a m-16 is an assault rifle.. there are full auto assault rifles just like there are full auto handguns. or sub machine guns...

keep blowing in your flute.

[jediforce64]

i thought its supposed to be critical situation

[grimy2009]

those two remind me kane and lynch!

[slannmage]

Yup Soviet Union was a collection of countries, doesn't just mean Russia.

[survivor686]

umm did he just the ak47 range is 1500 metres? Its much more lower than that wikipedia says 100 to 800 metres

[AirGunHunter94]

that cause the ammo larry and emil use is not normal rounds they are amor peircing rpunds it has 1500 meters

[romanich77]

@survivor686 armor-piercing bullet flies faster and farther

AK 47 there are different models

[SgtGShepherd]

I take back that last comment about the title, that was my mistake.

[SgtGShepherd]

call it just being a critic, but the show was called Critical Situation, not Situation Critical, i only mention it because it was a pain in the ass to find the vid.

[PostalDude245]

they narrator says tye ak47 was made in romania, but it was made in the soviet union. Must be a remodel.

[ogamike]

This shit is crazy man ! what a suicidal duo !

[FzSBLACKMAGICK]

Yea, 'cause that would stop the bad guys from getting guns and doing this like this.

You really should look into why the Second Amendment exists in the first place...why the founding fathers put it in the BOR in the first place.

[jacknickhole]

they sould do the fbi 1986 shootout.

[assasinator435]

Good job 5 stars

[Oracle13]

Excellent show

[SPRules44]
