Ilya Naishuller's Hardcore Henry is one of those truly unique films-a video game brought to life, shot entirely from the first-person perspective. This required seamlessly stitching together hundreds of chaotic individual shots into a series of much longer, more complex sequences, utilizing some of the most invisible VFX I've ever seen. The film achieves something rare in cinema: making the camera the protagonist.
With the titular character always hidden behind the camera, the audience can only infer the protagonist's emotions based on the camera and Sharlto Copley's movements. This required incredibly specific camera work and extreme efforts from the operators. It's genuinely amazing that no one was seriously injured on set or that no VFX artist suffered from overwork due to the sheer amount of invisible VFX necessary to tie it all together.
To understand why this film was so complex and dangerous, and why nothing like it has really been attempted since, grab your "nice" jacket and GoPro as we dive into the literal insanity of how they brought an entire video game to life on a modest budget of just two million dollars!
Spoiler alert: it was made by Russians. That’s how

Why Does the Podracing Scene Still Look So Realistic After 20 Years?
Without a doubt, some of the best visual effects ever in a movie. Modern big budget movies should be embarrassed because the majority of these special effects driven movies simply pale in comparison. District 9 was amazing!
Practical effects require an intense setup, but the payoff is absurd. Spiderman 2 is a prime example of how practical is incredibly tough to set up, but how the sheer level of results it delivers makes such a massive difference in quality and lasting strength. I've always said practical effects outweigh CGI in every way, not because of difficulty, or ease, but rather immersion. Practical effects make a huge impact on actor performance, as well as immersion. The physical object makes such a massive difference in how things connect in the film. That connection is lost when CGI fills this place. CGI can look absolutely amazing. But I think if it could be done practical, it should be. When done right, practical effects make a movie look and feel better than when CGI is done right.
genuine question. why is she hulk even cgi? from what i can see its mostly talking, is makeup just not a thing anymore? i get why hulk is cgi, no shit but she hulk's features arent any bit outlandish its literally just a mildly buff green woman
This movie was so underappreciated, but at the same time I think it's good it didn't get a sequel. I like it for being unique in that way, plus it's just an accurate depiction of everyday life in Moscow.
One of my favorite alien movies. Original and beautiful with lots of mystery.
Good movie
In all cinema? Bs
Feel like more movies need to use first person, nothing is more adrenaline pumping that this movie or the FPS scene from the first Doom movie
It not only looks outstanding, the story is also outstanding. not like the rubbish from Hollywood
I wish that we could get this in 4k 60fps with some AI upscaling or something bc it would fix a lot of the motion sickness for some people or at least 48fps
So what storror does is proven to be the best way to hold a GoPro
THe problem was never CGI. The problem was soulless "fix it in post" attitude that relied entirely on CGI which dates the film.
"Thank you for watching, and have a gre--" they fucking killed him mid sentence
It was one of the best Sci-fi movies of all time, not just some of the best VFX (which they were). The story and writing was awesome, the actors were amazing, the cinematography was next level and the director kicked it out of the park.
I love this movie, its so unique
Devy Jones
I liked the crossing lines! they kindof looked like an airport, it could be a really cool look if it was modeled after a specific airport, maybe a pilot would really appreciate it!
Explanation to make the video 1 second long: The cgi artists are just very good
Хардкор (original name btw) is the most visually impressive movie I ever seen in my entire life - it simply looks straight up real. More real than ANY movie I ever seen. Looked straight up impossible to do because your brain knows that it should be faked somehow, but your eyes can't catch any issues. When I found out how cheap it was, it impressed me even more. It's the best action movie ever created. I just wish it was filmed in higher framerate (and all other movies, that low framerate freaking sucks some massive donkey balls). Those "cinematic" 24hz is sooooo hard to watch on big screen here because the whole screen constantly moves. And the bigger the screen is - the more your brain starts to fight it. Also, Copley is insanely good actor and this movie allowed him to shine.
i have nothing against CGI, i just think they should fuse Practical Effects WITH CGI more often, it looks so much better because the physical interactions make the whole scene realistic due to having stuff react.
Its like the way Rango was peak animation yet it was made in 2011
Shut up
10:50 TITANFAAAAAL RAAAAAAAAAAAH🗣🗣🗣🦅🦅🦅🔥🔥🔥🚨🚨🚨
i love this film
Why the hell does the narrator sound like AI? Ugh.
Can he still sleep on his back? cant remember if he was able to remove those arms - watched it in cinema back in the day
George Lucas. The guy who had ZERO understanding of CGI and the limits of CGI. Dumpster prequels
"No sci-fi film ever predicted the iPhone..." TO THE CONTRARY, it was predicted MANY TIMES. DICK TRACY had a tv wrist phone back in the '60s. JULES VERNE wrote "Paris in the 29th Century" in 1900 which predicted such and the internet, as did "The Machine Stops", a short story by E. M. Forster in 1909.
Hardcore Henry is one of those goat movies. It's stupid, over the top and just downright insane but somehow manages to spin that into something great. Still one of my all time favourites
I watched the film Life which really freaked me out. Might be something about octopus shaped baddies. Loved this film though
I watched this a year or 2 ago, and to be honest, it’s better than I remember it. And it just goes to show that with art, it mostly doesn’t matter how much money you have, or what tools you have, your art is only limited by your creativity.
the aliens are cool but the time traveling thing is complete nonsense
This movie was just so good and interesting
cgi is insane but that scene with the grenade launcher was comical. idk why they didn't just use a prop it looked like a 90s railshooter at that point. still in my top 5 best movies tho
why do we discuss russian films in 2024?
Because they are awesome and important.
Why not?
@@alexfilma16 because they are still at full-scale war against Ukraine and you may think smth like "art is outside of politics" but that's totally not true, especially with russia because consuming their content (movies/music/literature etc) generates them money via taxes which are then heavily used to continue the war by advacing trough the front line, shelling Ukrainian cities with rockets, killing and terrorizing civilians so please, think if it is really worth it to "just watch" their movies at cost of supporing their war (even in the least amount) and the creator of this video should have thought about this too because we as a civilized society should isolate russia, cut their resources and force to stop the war instead of popularizing their content 🤦♂
i watch them because they are good and there is nothing you could do. Cope more
@@loziobrus I’ll watch whatever I want mate, thanks. I suppose I shouldn’t look at art from Yemen, Syria, Libya etc… 🙄
The white text on bright background is almost impossible to read.
next video should be Why Davy jones is better than most villains in disney movies
TLDR: Good animators with sufficient time.
I think that this movie just got lucky as it was coming out
Another brilliant movie inspired by anime
Hardcore Henry is one of my favourite action movies ever, it has that bit of flavour from the 70s and 80s of whimsical and over the top yet simple/plain plots that just allows you to enjoy them like a little kid without grinding your gears with deep and complex moralities and lessons. I just hope the whole team involved were happy and satisfied with the end product because this is just the type of movie that can only happen once, lightning in a bottle, you need passion, talent, luck and that point of recklessness only people who value the results over the means can get sometimes, i.e. the scene where they run over the bridge with 0 safety measures under them. I'd sure love to see some other good POV movies, but i doubt they'll ever happen unless the right people get together under the perfect circumstances for it again.
absolutely loved this movie. I think it was great how they did the first person perspective. it's nice to know just *how* they did that.
Apparently, the lady on the stairase wasn't part of the movie. in the beginning, they hit her, and she played the part because apparently she is an actress too, so they added her to the movie!
The Thing from john Carpenter is the other "most alien, alien". It was chaotic but also warped anything it could copy far beyond anything we can relate with on Earth. Not only it built tension like no other movies could but when The Thing was revealing itself, it did in the most alien way possible by not showing its true self but by absolutely corrupting anything it came across in the most lethal and grotesque way possible. Master piece i can't watch today because that "Thing" scarred me for life.
Hardcore henry is my favorite movie!
dude i'd love to see more movies that are just 1st person pespective
Henry
Even with all of the tricks you mentioned here, I find it almost impossible to imagine how they pulled this off. Everything from the model, to the textures, to the shaders, to the lighting - it just looks so, so incredibly good... **2006!** Most of us still had CRT TVs! Elder Scrolls Oblivion wasn't even out yet! Your average PC had 1 core, and ran Windows XP! How did they pull this off! How does it look so good! It boggles the mind
This film fucking sucked
i love that this one is on top of the same one you have to buy/rent I love youtube
