The Dark Knight: Batman in Hong Kong Scene

[WarlockTroll]

George W's dad started the war on terror and like his father he did the same just like Bruce... George is a hero that US deserves but not the one that it needs right now, so we will hunt him because he is not a hero, he is a silent guardian a watchful prottector the George W....... and his butler Dick Cheney...

[Overlordskystriker]

@Byrnzi360 It's called league of assassins

[15jbullock]

It be fun to do this in real life to be sitting here on one building watching and spying then when im ready jump off

[easyeasy506]

ELVIS HAS LEFT THE BUILDING!! Such a cool exit

[kerpal3]

ladies and gentleman Batman has just left the building 3:19

[Byrnzi360]

I'm willing to bet that Ra's Al Ghul isn't dead, and Bane is just a disfigured Ra's. Hence, the third movie comes full circle with the League of Shadows trying an occupy movement to destroy Gotham.

[jeremycarrier]

This is how they took down MegaUpload

[Ricardo7250]

@jeremycarrier this is how they took down megaupload... with 50 men having to surround an unarmed building plus a few more helicopters, against 3 people

[Ricardo7250]

2:06 awesome music timing

[0180917]

*Batman holds Lau hostage by the window*

BATMAN: They'll expect one of us in the wreckage, brother.

LAU: What?!

*the plane bursts into flames and goes crashing down*

[Raffasaur69]

@0180917 Is that what Bane said in the prologue..I listened to it like 5 times and couldn't hear

[pingchu29]

no way the cops get there in less than two and a half minutes

[qwuezalothus]

@pingchu29

yes they do if Lao payed them to be alert for an intruder.

[gamenigeria]

@pingchu29 not if you pay than the big money, if you do they would there in a second.

[4jester]

I wanted to point out that the aircraft that picks up batman and mao looks pretty spot-on identical to the plane in the TDKR prologue. Also of note, the whole government contracts that wayne kept in the dark from lucius. I want to say that Bane definitely has infiltrated wayne corp with suspicion of that miranda tate character. i hope lucius kept wayne in the dark about the new batwing to kinda keep from others (especially Tate) from knowing.

[Roma9532]

@4jester Wow where did you get this information It looks like the new movie will be EPIC!!!

[battlefield3media]

i thought batman was the protector of gotham, not a fighter of international terrorism?

[MrBag2]

@battlefield3media Haven't you heard of the Justice League?

[Lucasmarkman]

@battlefield3media He's helping the mob embezzle money in Gotham which is why batman is bringing him back to Gotham, to protect Gotham.

[orionpirates]

I swear that Chinese cop looks like Yan Can Cook

[kicktomania]

The actor who played that chinese boss is actually a singaporean and not from china haha!!

[keyeonie]

After watching this scene. i realized that i can be the batman. as long as i have the money....

[lukasgengy]

@keyeonie so like 1 day .-DD

[brasteen1]

@keyeonie and amazing martial arts training

[Ricardo7250]

these soundtracks are orgasm to my ear

The Dark Knight [Film Score] Track 11 - Sky Hook

[pranav8gavankar]

which is this music

[minngminng89]

@pranav8gavankar I'm not a hero

[pranav8gavankar]

@minngminng89 thanks man

[aceking007]

hey...when is cape is hidden inside some case on his back that reminded me of batman beyond :)

[PTCTally]

these dudes would definitely be speaking cantonese and not mandarin in hong kong...

[ceruleanmist111]

@PTCTally The security guards were speaking in canto, the business man and his associates in mando. Makes sense enough.

[15jbullock]

i hope we see great scenes like this in The Dark Knight Rises

[Kotori32]

5 Chinese don't like this clip.

[xginjayx]

And that Ladies and Gentleman is how you capture a high-profile criminal in another country

[manugonsalves2011ful]

3:32 looks like rio de janeiro

[Krikafan]

translations: Let me go! Let me go! No! Don't Shoot! Don't shoot!"

[steve1000size]

thumbs up if you heard mr.llau said little pig in frenceh (petit cochon) at 2:56

[MrY3110w]

If you wanna bribe batman at least speak English......

[topherno]

0:40 that's some killer aim, to be able to hit just the right floor from that far away...lol -_-

[gc3k]

wouldve been awesome if this was real, like the wingsuits in transformers 3

[haneyljac]

i love the shot he gives at 2:38 ... classic batman "get out of my way" shot 

[TheJasonDR]

Cantonese sound so much better then Mandarin ...

[Fernando072295]

2:38 pimp slap

[LiberalsUtopian]

so was he supposed to be a pedophile or what?

[hazardgd]

Pistols?? Very poor choice of weapons taking on batman....

[jamesborrow]

whats is the name of this soundtrack please???

[vibe3d]

was the cellphone emitting EMP? How come all the lights did not go off?

[22centman36]

@vibe3d because he;s frickin, batman, dude.  Come on.

[1977Melville]

Batman raiding The Fed?

[villeppi]

This is how they caught Obama... I mean Osama.

[creedjeremy]

Lau and the Hong Kong police force made 5 accounts to dislike this

[yocheco619]

3:20 You can see batman stick out his hand "Deuces Bitches!" I gots planes muthafuckass

[1337ijs]

You can tell that one cop is thinking "I don't get paid enough to deal with this."

[discovery2808]

batman, spiderman, hulk, xmen, and hulk all have good movies you can see the efforts if those who made the movies really come alive, even in there video games, arkham asylum one of the best games ever! they have great reviews, why...can't someone do the same damn efforts and patience with a superman movie and game....( just don't understand).

[451harri]

@discovery2808 Superman is inherently dull. Idealistic with very little conflict in him. Indestructible to nearly everything, meaning that making him seem threatened is hard.

It's difficult to make him compelling. But if you'd done a google search, you'd see that there's a brand new Superman film being made called the Man of Steel, with Chris Nolan (the Dark knight co-writer/director) working on it as a producer. Hopefully they'll make it happen.

[GTA4fanatic118]

this scene feals like batman beyond its that awsome lol

[CutCoRocks]

♫♫

A la Antoine: "He's smashing your windows, he's snatching your people up..."

[thatcowguy100]

Must... know... song name..

[mediaexplorer1]

music is super epic, especially at the end, sky hook is amazing with the music of Hans Zimmer. Best scene ever!!

[consternated1]

Another amazing Christopher Nolan vision on-screen!!

[mapleavenue77]

This scene cures my hang-overs! It's that good!!!

[andyli929]

the guards are speaking cantonese but why is the boss speaking putonghua?

[leevan50rrie]

@andyli929 Sounds like they're all speaking Mandarin to me, and yes, I speak Chinese.

[TheJasonDR]

@leevan50rrie really ? did you grow up in china or did you study it ?

[leevan50rrie]

@TheJasonDR Ethnic Chinese.

[TheJasonDR]

@leevan50rrie cool let me ask you something ...is it true that chinese people forget how to write specific chinese characters ?

[leevan50rrie]

@TheJasonDR Huh? What do you mean? If you're asking whether Chinese people forget how to write Chinese over time - then yes, if they do not write in Chinese regularly. It's the same for every other language in the world, if you do not use a language constantly you will find yourself losing fluency in it :P

[TheJasonDR]

@leevan50rrie no not really...spanish is probably the easiest language in the world...so easy in fact that anyone can read it without knowing any spanish... ..my theory is that chinese is unnecessarily difficult...tradition vs efficiency ...although I do love the characters its amazing how they look

[leevan50rrie]

@TheJasonDR Haha true, I think Chinese and European languages are as different from each other as languages can possibly get. It's not just about using characters rather than an alphabet, the grammatical structures in Chinese are very different from those in English or Spanish as well.

[TheJasonDR]

@leevan50rrie but thats not the point ...the point is that Chinese is way to hard for everyone...and needs to be changed to something similar to a western writing system

[leevan50rrie]

@TheJasonDR You do know that there are 1.3 billion Chinese in China who would say the same thing about English don't you? Besides, there already is a system called "hanyu pinyin" that uses Latin letters to help Chinese learners, you might wanna check it out on wikipedia.

You can't expect a huge country like China to just give up their heritage because Westerners find it hard to learn their language.

[TheJasonDR]

@leevan50rrie no the thing is even Chinese people forget their own language if they don't read for a while...that never happens in the west...its Heritage vs Efficiency...

[leevan50rrie]

@TheJasonDR I'll have to disagree with you on that. And no, I didn't mean that Chinese forget their own language if they don't use it for a while, they just become weaker at it.

[leevan50rrie]

@TheJasonDR Of course it never happens in the west, Westerners use their own language all the time. So do the Chinese in China. The reason why someone who speaks English can still retain fluency in French is because the two languages are very closely related. If a Chinese man in China learns English in school but doesn't use it regularly he will forget how to speak in English in no time. Ask any Chinese. "Efficiency" is largely determined by your place of birth and one's milieu at a given time.

[leevan50rrie]

@TheJasonDR Put it this way, put an Englishman in China and make him speak nothing but Chinese and his fluency in English will drop substantially.

[TheJasonDR]

@leevan50rrie no it will not ...people go years without speaking a second language in the west and dont forget it....because western languages are simply efficient...although I love the Chinese writing system ...alot of people get chinese character tatoos

[leevan50rrie]

@TheJasonDR As I've already said, the reason why people in the West don't forget how to speak their languages....is because in most cases their native language is closely related to their second languages anyway.

[TheJasonDR]

@leevan50rrie have you ever heard of Sanskrit ...?..the worlds most perfect language...it is actually suppose to be the father of all languages..also it is so perfect that if your fluent in it you are able to pronounce any other language with ease

[leevan50rrie]

@TheJasonDR I've heard of it sure, but I don't know much about it. Sounds fascinating although I'm a bit skeptical about your hyperbolic claims. I think we'll agree to disagree on this.

[xuchihax13]

How was the cable from the Batman hooked on to the plane?

[BeNjI6576]

@xuchihax13 a hook like system on the nose (kinda looks like a giant pair on scissors) , in wikipedia look up fulton surface to air recovery system

[xuchihax13]

@BeNjI6576 Ah. I thought there's a hook at the back of the cargo plane. Thanks you.

[BeNjI6576]

@BeNjI6576 you can actually see it on the nose of the aircraft at about 3:20

[chailizard]

@BeNjI6576 thanks for that. Is there any explanation for how the tumbler transformed into the batpod?

[MarcusKiner]

this is #1 on my movie list

[JamesB12003]

I alway's wondered if batman jumped off a rooftop and his cape didn't open and glide i supose this would happen

Batman:''Oh Shit!''

*SPLAT*

[psychopr1]

movie best scene period.....

[Kpob03]

1:59-3:50

we should've hired Batman to take down Bin Laden

imagine that...

[captainroger]

@Kpob03 Yeah, he would have been brought in alive and tried and the whole world would know that a select few of America's elite rich arseholes planned the whole thing and then chaos....I think I prefer our ignorant Navy Seal outcome...a dead freedom fighter and a society blissfully unaware that they are bending over and shinning shoes at the same time. Have a nice day.

[SakkaraStudios101]

@Kpob03 oh hell yes

[15jbullock]

@Kpob03 damn he would have send Bin Laden all the way down to hell

[7Nexus21]

@Kpob03 Batman is seriously more resourceful than the american government.

[gonzata1996]

Best superhero movie ever

[Artharrex123]

The fk are they speaking mandarin for, they are in fking hong kong.

[lostmages]

@Artharrex123 Hong Kong's in China.

[Artharrex123]

@lostmages no shit, but hong kong speaks cantonese and mandarin.

But cantonese is default language for hong kong. everyone speaks cantonese there and like 50% speaks mandarin

[leevan50rrie]

@Artharrex123 Not to mention that Lau is a Cantonese surname, not a mainland Chinese one, which suggests that he was born in Hong Kong. A bit odd, but it's a minor gripe. The actor, btw, is a Singaporean, so I'm guessing he doesn't speak much Cantonese, hence the peculiarity. Good actor though.

[MarcusKiner]

C-130 extraction FTW! 

[mistercroft1975]

Would there be a global credit crisis if "Batman" was in charge? I rest my case.

[JustBeenSubscribed]

3 PEOPLE HAVE NOT SEEN THIS IN IMAX. FUCK 3D!!

[orionpirates]

The cop holding the hand gun looks like Yan Can Cook!

[Southpaw447]

what is the song that starts playing when he jumps off the building?

[thepocarisweat]

batman storming goldman sachs

[golordgameplaystudio]

best suite he used throughout the movie!! :D

[Spectr4L]

Batman will take his ass across the world to get shit done if need be.

[ExplosiveNixon]

I love how Batman is dragging him away by the foot like "You're mine." Can't wait to see Bane do the same to Batman.

[moliuking]

0:50 OK. OK

1:06 Have a look.

1:15 Hello. Can you hear me?

2:38 Release me! Release me! I give you everything! Release me!

2:54 Don't shoot! Don't shoot! Don't shoot!

[jbravo70]

That is what's so awesome about Nolan's Batman. He makes Batman more realistic. Not like that crap like the last other batman with Arnold, Clooney & Uma

[hink1124]

I remember in the theatre opening night, everyone was cheering and laughing when the plane flew overhead and attached to the sky hook. BAD ASS! F U China

[InceptionShade]

I think that all of the music in the movie, but I think the music starting at 3:21 (around there) is epic and perfect for the escape.

This scene is also one of the best in the movie.

[golordgameplaystudio]

@InceptionShade Just like the music played in the scene from batman begins after he says ''im batman.'' That was also epic because the fans now knew that his origin was complete :D Thats Chris Nolan for you!

[kilkolio]

looks like batman was in time for the plane departing schedule

[deductivedetective]

he should have deployed a smoke grenade when he came in through the window, woulda saved him the problem with the guns.

[BreakWatcher]

@deductivedetective well we won't see a thing if he did.

[deductivedetective]

@BreakWatcher there are some infra green technologies that can probably see through smoke, so if batman had a miniature version...

[deductivedetective]

@BreakWatcher besides, he could have thrown the smoke grenade into their direction.

[Minute158]

Love that look he gives at Minute 3:09. It's like, " *smugly* Well, what are you going to do? That's right. Nothing."

[Leatherbubba]

Batman's Excellent Adventure in Hong Kong should have been cut from the movie. It goes on too fucking long.

[lioncircleantilope]

@THEDARKNIGHTDX2 lol! I want my Pikachu.  I'm not going with you without my Pikachu!

[oo0O0oo]

It's in Hong Kong but they are speaking mandarin?

[VictorDamazio]

Batman, por favor venha aqui no Brasil e faça o mesmo com o Cesare Battisti.

[VictorDamazio]

Batman, please do the same thing with Cesare Battisti in Brazil.

[ultimatemanofwar]

no matter where you are , BATMAN will fin you and make you squeal !!!

[rtrThanos]

3 people had some dude in bulletproof armor jump through their window in the middle of the night.

[Jort007]

@rtrThanos Orly?

[Gir78623]

I guess Batman like's to...

*puts on shades*

Play hooky.

[joaoluizsn]

it's not who you are underneath but how you catch thugs and criminals on foreign lands and bring them flying that defines what kind of superhero you are.

[FamousGreg122]

This is the part that feels the most BATMAN.

[DamianHowardTV]

@FamousGreg122 And also towards the end of the movie when he jumps off the building from where Gordon and the group of snipers are, before gliding into the next building and kicking the crap outta' the S.W.A.T team and taking down the Joker.

[majafaja999]

the western took the asian man, just like how they take our asian women

[Kanuskiz]

A helluva way to get a suspect outside your jurisdiction. LOL.

[4hotpink10]

Now thats what I call an Epic Sky Hook :)

[4hotpink10]

0:22 <3

[musicspider911]

This is what Lau gets for messing with Batman. Not only was he smuggling the mobs money out of Gotham therein ruining Gordon and Batmans hard work for over one year, but he also tried ripping off Bruce Wayne in that giant business venture which Fox then cancels.

That's were Lau truly fucked up, he tried playing Bruce Wayne. The rest is history.

[Nelson1002002]

3:18 EPIC!!!!

[jollekool]

When he switches the timer the music fits perfect in the background! Epic.

[BrotherAtticus]

I badly wish that someone would have done this exact same thing to the Wisconsin Senators that fled the state to avoid voting on the budget bill--you know, just ripped 'em out of Illinois and dumped 'em back... :)

[ebrowne369]

this scene is one of my favorite in the whole movie. its kinda funny how even moving countries wouldn't stop the batman and the joker had been right all along.

thanks to this scene organized crime would have been over for gotham if it wasn't for the joker.

[MrTyronePimp]

batman is lame

[TFUltimateBumblebee]

@MrTyronePimp Oh ho nope nope nope.

[MrChopsticksandRice]

@MrTyronePimp says the guy with the user "MrTyronePimp." clearly ur no pimp

[mikenike123454]

(Batman jumps)

Batman- Why aren't my wings opening up? They're stuck! AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!

(splat)

[DJman30000]

2:38-2:44 LMAO!!!!!!!!!

[cdrrivera]

With all the scenes that are posted from the movie, i can basically build them together and watch the movie :)

[Hwoarang8ify]

Wait a few years then they'll make the bat jet.

[prankster3001]

one of the best scenes of all time , still gives me goosebumps

[90mv]

gah ! somebody get nolan to direct daredevil !

[qwuezalothus]

@90mv

Why not every comicbook-movie on earth? Comm'on, Daredevil?

[333335339]

Batman is the best superhero out there.

[ravenouscolonelhart]

DO NOT MESS WITH GOTHAM CITY

[SuperGootman]

Batman in Hong Kong! It is cool. He jump from 88 floors to another building. It is amazing! And the music is great!

[Azard3]

The music is soo epic how its slowly building up to his jump.. fucking epic.

[TheJokersAdvocate96]

And people it say it was Joker: The Movie! The films name is The Dark Knight for a reason folks!

[mrcapablanca]

"You see, Batman has no jurisdiction, he'll find him and make him squeal"- Joker

[qwuezalothus]

No wonder Warner wanted Nolan to direct Superman too...!

[lemmedasker]

the dark knight rises will be even better. bane, batman's natural superior in physical combat, as the main villain. an issue yet to be explored in any batman movie. looking forward to more focus on martial arts, something the former two have lacked. batman is, after all, among the five most accomplished martial artists in the DC universe. I hope they will do bane justice and have him take batman down at least once. you know, to honor his achievement in the comics.
