Reenactment #49: American Psycho (BrandonHardesty.com Exclusive Video)

[TehQvia]

American Pie, Book of Love.

[ezequieldavid]

Now I really wonder what were your neighbors thinking

[Lee2k4]

your a great actor

[michal23pl]

nice one! well done.

[nathancoughran]

have u done the georgie scene from it?

[Heliosphan15]

i adore all those mannerisms of bateman in that scene. i lol'd at the way you said "hip to be square" with the shoulder jostling

[gmanfunkymuther]

Brandon, I've been following your videos for a while and love them. This was a challenge for I think, much of the character in this scene is in the little movements he makes. I'm trying to give some constructive criticism, you should practice the movements on this scene more. It didn't feel up to scratch for you my man! Love your work still!

[DrunkenIdeas]

You play him better than Bale :')

[kruxii]

@DrunkenIdeas Nah. Bale was born to play that role.

[DXslilgangsta]

Nice Dubs

[drew25kra]

Meh, didn't like this one as much as some of your other ones....you should have gone more nuts like Bale does when chopping. And no lighting of the cigar while reclining on the couch at the end? Incomplete!

[pinkypimpalicous]

LOL that was actually pretty freakin funny.

[MorbidKittyProd]

Awesome sound FX. LMAO

[Renard380]

stupid crapyrights...

[Tsujikase]

You really got the Voice down : D

[MrEduardKhil]

Doubles?

[stevenmask]

no joke tht reenactment sucked do made with vince vaughn and jon faverou

[ziggy88stardst]

haha. this is my favorite scene in american psycho. you've done well. damn huey luis and the news. fuckin hip squares

[Danzigadoo666]

Nice one! You really nailed it!

[gavinjayanand]

Good job man, but you missed the all-important jig Bateman does after turning the song on.

[pressove]

This is one of my favorite movie scenes ever. I can watch it over and over.

[pressove]

This is one of my favorite movie scenes ever. I can watch it over and over.

[jorant]

I love you to death.... I do... you're awesome. But, I was not impressed by this at all. Usually you do an incredible job, but this just wasn't one of your better reenactments.

[RatPackerTL]

I saw it, pure brilliance.

[Tomayer1]

haha!

Chop

Chop

Squelch

Blood

that probably made me laugh the most, i don't know why when people make their own obviously fake sound effects i find some humour in that, kudos to you my good sir, kudos!

[Orremann]

Great reenactment

[Hax9]

Thank you Brandon... I was one of the many people who requested this Reenactment..... Its 10x better than i had expected... good job mate ... keep up the good work !

[drumgirl187]

yea i did too! tho i wanted the phone call to his lawyer scene. but this was still badass.

[JayMann620]

I actually liked this and I think he should do another A.P. scene. Probably the end monologue when he calls his lawyer. That'd be sick.

[drumgirl187]

i have sent him requests to do that sooooo many times! i hope he does it, i love that part of the movie

[weinerdogzzrule]

Nice

[tubbymura98]

that was great. thnx for the upload :]

[TheSoldierofPeace]

You're a true comedian!

...

And an actor!

[angellcorps1]

lol that was great

[PivotOverlordSD]

chop chop squelch XDDDDD

[MrMuscleMacho]

wow that voice looks so like christian bales one this is so good

[LolCaramelz]

I liked it.

[jerrett]

that was good

[AwayWithOutLove]

First amendment fail.

[ralphus44]

Brandon,

The Gooby review was the funniest thing you've ever done, and I LOVE your stuff. In fact, it might have been the funniest thing I ever saw on YouTube PERIOD.

You've got your own site now. Why not put it on there? Away with YouTube's censoring policies. The public deserves to see this...it's a classic.

[Dudebot58]

Is that a rain coat?

WhY YES IT IS!!!!

[aplayaz2000]

u really did a good job on bales voice... tho i wished you would have blood splashing on your face

[ABEaglesfan1000]

Lol in the video.

"Chop. Chop. Slice. Blood. Chop. Chop."

[jilloplo]

You forgot "Squelch". :D

[flrtngwsuicd]

I love it!!!! it´s my favorite movie! u rock! i love you!

[Roguep33r]

Watched it...loved it. What a great movie to re-enact.

[ScrewAttackChina]

Why isnt goobey on your website tho? that was awesome

[ShadowTheJuggalo1]

DUDE that was awesome lol, you should post it here anyway so i can favorite it!

[soxsux89]

That was a great reenactment

Just shoulda added the blood and at the end doesn't he sit down on the couch?

[TheNilesEdge]

You made a booboo. :P It was, "You fucking stupid bastard!"

[bensy010]

how did the thumbnail for this vid be what it is?

[caboosemacs]

Loved it

[Lemoncode]

Link to the review?

[poeticcheese86]

Chop. Squelch. Chop. Blood. Love the sound effects.

[Naenia2]

That was really great. But did he do that one part when Bale's walking away from the cd player? The one where he swishes his body from side to side. That part was funny in the movie...

[mirokumasta]

dude, do a hangover reanactment

[Thowell3]

Do the Bath room Scene from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. The one where Dr.Gonzo is in the Bathtub out of his mind on Acid.

[hoyt41490]

that's a great scene

[sunshineinchains]

Sucks there's no freedom of speech on YouTube.

[privateryanify]

one of the dumbest things ive ever read

[sunshineinchains]

Really? Because it's true?

[privateryanify]

this isn't freedom of speech you're talking about it's copyright infringement. other then that you can get away with just about everything on here, watch this: FUCKING FUCK ASS WHORE DICKFACE FUCK COCK VAGINA

[sunshineinchains]

Wow, that's the smartest thing I've ever read. Copyright infringement may or may not have been the case in this instance, but I was actually referring to a wider-spectrum. I've known CommiTube to delete videos where people have simply stated opinions contrary to whatever mainstream favors, whether it be politically "controversial" or anything, really. So YouTube lets us curse, whoop-dee-doo. I'd say that's more 'freedom of stupidity'.

[privateryanify]

yeah well the "freedom" you want can only be found under a rock somewhere in antarctica, crazy bitch.

[sunshineinchains]

lol... I guess a troll like you would know.

[privateryanify]

everyone knows trolls live in basements, you honestly think there is a power outlet in a rock?

[sunshineinchains]

You figured out that you're a troll and that you don't know what you're talking about. Congratulations.

[privateryanify]

wow, you must actually believe rocks have power outlets. well, buh bye now

[HDproductionchannel]

nice vid man, checked out your site! we just started doing reenactments, we only have 1 up, feel free to check us out! i posted our vid as a response to this =D

[UnrealHel]

Should be careful with axes. My halfbrother chopped himself in the foot once.

[mirokumasta]

oww..

[wingsonflames]

That was great! I love "American Psycho", and I definitely love your reenactment. I laughed so hard, especially at the "chop, chop, squelch, blood" bit.

[Chakra521]

dont pay attention to haters i liked the chop chop and i liked all of it good job

[ThePauseMenu]

good re enactment.

nice

[nickringer]

I'm re-enacting the Paul Allen scene with a friend at an open mic night in a few weeks. From you, it's long due. Kudos

[SeventhEve]

I've never seen American Psycho, but if I had to guess who played the axe-murderer in that scene originally, from your interpretation, I'd guess Jim Carrey. I don't think that's true, and I'm not sure what it means.

I was, however, afraid that you were going to accidentally hurt the other you while filming the chopping scene, so I guess your editing was good. :D

[jewto0b]

Bale was a bit Carrey-esque in his mannerisms in the film, kind of reminded me a bit of The Mask the way he moves around.

[PSPFREAKPSPFREAK]

chop, chop XD

[RocKid30]

Awesome video I love how you recreated every movement too. I love it when he's jogging around backwards while getting everything ready. He's so excited to kill the guy.

[PheonixDownX01]

idk, i thought it was pretty great. just the skill to be able to reenact a scene from a movie word for word with accurate acting and motion is pretty rad. love your work dude, keep it up

[MillerTheKillerr]

woulda been better if you didnt out "chop....chop....chop" in it.

[MrDeverill]

A huge fan of your reenactments however this one... it's not so great.

[TheNickHumphrey]

not loving this one

[azrael1204]

Big fan of your work, but this one seemed pretty phoned in...

[yothere1209]

very good sir. Very good. I think I'll watch the picture again this weekend.

[TheLonelyImmortal]

Your video is great :) You could have used an actual raincoat, though :D

[Lewmew22]

Superb as usual! Ha ha

[redrabbitjohnson]

You need to do another scene from American Psycho. There is so much great material in that movie to be reenacted.

[lundopictures]

Dude, I watched Gooby when I wouldn't have without seeing your video. They should be thanking you.

[Pandanobear]

how was it?

[lundopictures]

God Awful.

[DarkShad0wZ]

You should start pointing to the bottom right side of your screen instead of the right considering your HD/HQ videos push the column that's normally on the right down to the bottom :)

[sogens]

HAHA gotta love american psycho

[kiddsock]

They should pay you for promoting their movie!

Keep on YouTubin!

[Smoker4Hire]

Nice job, Brandon! You HAVE to let me know who your sound effects guy was on this re-enactment. Amazing!

[ericandrewmcleodhowk]

In '87, Huey released this, Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to Be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself. Fabulous.

[GBart]

FINALLY!

I have been wanting to see this scene for YEARS

[TankGrrl101]

Quite an amazing reenactment!

[Wizard488]

I personally think the "chop..." "blood" ruined it. It was SO good until that point.

[cockfoster]

I personally think wizard488 should learn to lighten up and accept brandon for what he is, a comedian.

[obliviouspet]

I agree. The "special effects" department really screwed up on this one.

[VenomProject]

Chop...Squelch...Chop...Blood.

LOL

[MeansDarling]

Haha, it was good.

[GOTTshua]

GOOBIE'S REVENGE. lol (what a waste of movie film) -----Flag this, Goobie!

[bellatwilight]

it was amazing o___o <333

[AmyLynn7783]

That's a great book. And a great movie. And a great re-enactment. Once again, wonderful!

[Cooley35]

(Monotone) Chop. Chop. Chop. LOL!

[smallsam52]

That was a REALLY good one! Loved the sound effects! Good to see ya back in your old house =)

[akschauer]

It's hip to be square... hehe

[RockGoth119]

Chop. Chop. Squelch. Chop. Blood. That was hilarious!

[invictusonline]

I'm glad to see you can tie your tie

[alexkiller1]

stop talking and dou something!

[mosesx42]

hes really good at acting. He should make his OWN mini movie!....or a trailer would be fine...

[BrandonNielsen87]

Lol. I watched that video, great job!

[kss42]

He's a great actor, I almost really thought his neck was hurt.

[MaxGiu]

oh, youtube flagged some of my videos too... it sucks

[rugbug]

OK lets go over this once again. YOU CAN'T ACT. let it go and get a real job.

[Archett]

Wasn't he in a movie? Being an actor is a job right? Besides I think he's a GREAT actor.

[Foolishdestruction]

OK lets go over this once again. He is making more money then you NOT acting. Lets Stop Bitching about it.

[silberman78]

I've seen this movie many times and this scene is spot on. Would've been slightly better if you'd used more realistic sound fx though. Nice work!

[alazaye23]

American Psycho is one of my favorite movies.. job well done on the reenactment!

[chumbersdee]

Blood

[Numaltar]

chop.

[jirdimaster]

I've never seen American Psycho, but ur video inspired me to download it

[ArtieTSMITW]

Nice job encouraging piracy.

Ugh.

[eddhedd]

So what is your exact stance on piracy?

[fozkey]

ah one of my favourite films, never fully understood but still epic none the less, the sound is very distorted on the video on your website mate, dont know if anyone else is experiencing the same problem.

[fozkey]

nevermind was a problem on my side :) great video Brandon, always a plesure

[jirdimaster]

If they don't want people stealing movies then they better start making movies worth paying for.

[BrandonNielsen87]

Jirdimaster, piracy IS STEALING!!!

[jirdimaster]

That's what i'm saying dude, if people don't want us stealing their movies or music then they better start making movies and music worth paying for, until then bittorrent is my friend.

[SKATANsfv]

so true

[Beecels]

best axe sound effects ever. the squelch blew me away!

[gmankan]

people have the right of free speech fight the flag!!!!

[Mattprole]

Your reenactments make me find the movies being referenced. I love it!

[linkman69]

your american psycho video keeps looping back to the video selection page for some reason. wierd =/

[pandarenBrewmaster62]

I'M FLAGGING THIS!

Just kidding xD Will watch it :)

[rocco777]

Yeah you should definitely fight the flag on the Gooby review.

[SpielbergerWithFries]

LOLLLLLL love the sound effects

[bunji666]

Great Reenactment

[OtherMainCharacter]

The re-enactment was pretty good. Can't you fight the flag for the Gooby trailer? It's supposed to be okay if it's for criticism.

[Aris1013]

hahaha awesome reenactment!

[boojwahz]

whats gooby?

[l0ucif3r]

Chop.... Chop.... Blood..... Splat....

LMFAO!!!

[PalmBeachNative20]

lol chop chop blood ! That was great

[katake282]

noooo, not gooby review, i loved iiit :C

[AirplaneRadio]

Dude, you have to have the half blood mask after the murder! It's the most important aspect of the scene!

[hattyer]

blood :3

[TheCrazedMadman]

I LOVE THE CHOPS!

[wheels85]

hahahahaha that was great. Chop. Chop. Chop. Squelch. Blood....

[zeppelin123]

NOOOOO!!!! the gooby review kicked ass, that sucks.

[wopanator]

your excused from drinking gingerale

[wopanator]

fuck you wopanator im wopanator

[RegulasDark]

I understand. Copyrights are the only reason I started composing my own music for my videos instead of using any other kind.

Nice video by the way. I love American Psycho and I think you really did the film justice. Keep up the good work.

[pinsetter1991]

chop.

[foolmanchu1]

i strongly dislike the stupid effing copyright rules. it's a little bit of bs.

great job, btw.

is that a raincoat?

why yes it is!

[desertrose777]

very good, loved it. ^_^

[kappyxisxscene]

MISLEADING..

[Jer1400]

chop chop chop

[Hawk2217]

You need to get that neck checked out, you could have your spine be all kinds of fucked up and not know it.

[StrykerD]

I wondered what happened to that video.. I was trying to show it to my friends and couldnt find it anywhere..

Great work on all your re-enactments :]

[JaffaCake79]

Hahaha I haven't watched that movie in quite a while. This re-enactment is nicely done sir.

[BrianS198]

Rofl, chop! Chop! Blood!

[Triplex72]

HOLY SHIT the one on your website split my ears open with the volume.

[CptSchmidt]

Fuck copyrights.

[jefferson6655]

uh ??

[wazup1337]

PILLZ HERE

[Starlord1999]

hope you put your movie review on your site too. Why can't fuckers handle FREEDOM OF SPEECH. Pen and Teller get away with stating their opinions on Showtime and say nothing libelous and no one can do a damn thing about it, why do the powers at YouTube have to be such little bitches?

[xRainingMistx]

Loved it!

[noose357]

Awesome Brandon!!

Great work! I know it shouldn't but it always manages to surprise me when you nail any actor's voice and or mannerisms. I can't point each thing out but I know you're doin it right :D

[LizzyChan101]

lol I'm loving the sound effects. XD

[phoneboothLC]

what happens if you get too many flags?

[whoopoi]

wondering the same thing

[NightmareNumber100]

loloolololl "chop"

[GreenTeaAT8]

Please tell me your going to put the trailer review on your website.

[Nick89BR]

Long awaited, great job

[niperwiper]

You've also done the scene involving the business cards, right? Very cool re-enactment, American Psycho is one of the few legitimately scary movies I've seen in the past decade, and not for lack of seeing horror films either.

[BondoDude]

Reenactment = very cool, spot on!

YouTube flag = lame.

Keep up the great work!

[Dontgetclose914]

Lol! I just watched it, and lol'd. "chop"

[zallard1]

I thought criticism of another work was protected by fair use... isn't it?

[GoldenGazette]

aww, i loved the gooby review!

[Shaunt1]

I hate all the restrictions on you tube, there should be more freedom!
