it was enough to be like this kimber
too late for all that welcome to watch
mojo and today we're counting down our
picks for the top 10 badass moments on
peaky blinders
you listen for my footsteps
for this list we'll be going over the
moments when characters in this period
gangster series did or said something
incredibly cool or awesome be warned
there will be spoilers through the end
of the final season if there's a peaky
blinders moment that hits like a slo-mo
rock scene that we forgot take a little
walk to the edge of our comment section
number 10 the garrison fight the show's
final episode also contains one of its
best shootouts when the ira come for
arthur at the garrison pub he proves
more than ready for them disarming them
with charlie's help and taking them
outside
[Applause]
you're right charlie oh good here arthur
let's move
take you out to the streets i don't want
to spoil my paw
however an ira sniper hits arthur and
sends everyone running for cover into
the fog featuring no music the entire
sequence pulses with tension as every
sound echoes in the haunting atmosphere
amid the gloom and a flaring light
overhead
eventually arthur calls on jeremiah who
uses a automatic weapon to take down the
sniper and gas to smoke out the
remaining ira then arthur takes some
long-awaited revenge for polly on their
leader
vengeance
arthur may come across as dim but he's a
very capable soldier number nine shot
for the hip
series one of peaky blinders concludes
with inspector campbell confronting
grace at the train station
[Music]
mad with jealousy over her feelings for
tommy and angry that she has betrayed
him campbell holds a gun on her while we
hear a shot ring out we don't see the
aftermath
that is until the series 2 premiere here
we see that it wasn't campbell who shot
grace but rather the reverse she hid her
gun in her purse and shot through it
not only is it a fantastic and
unexpected resolution to a cliffhanger
but it's one of grace's most savage
moments
number eight all you got was a bullet
thomas shelby and inspector turned major
chester campbell have some of the best
conversations in peaky blinders
shouldn't you be busy
when you plan something well there's no
need to rush
while tommy has plenty of badass moments
during them their final back and forth
is the one that makes our list after
both deny that they have any respect for
each other talk turns to grace while
campbell tries to be hurtful tommy turns
it around and claims that while she
loves him all campbell got was a bullet
and a fancy cane she loves me
she told me
she loves me
and all you got was a bullet
the major claims to have god's love but
tommy dispels that delusion too he knows
campbell's vile crimes against his
family
i know you did to polly
i don't know what happened to michael in
jail
whichever one of them dies that day the
devil will greet them come morning and
all these brutal verbal takedowns are
set to the national anthem
number seven peaky blinders versus billy
kimber after billy kimber begins moving
in on the peaky blind as territory it
all comes down to a face-off between the
two gangs there is so much badass packed
in such a short time that it's
impossible to choose just one moment get
your weapons out boys and load them up
take your time
hold them up in the air size i can see
what we've got the blinders rolling up
is great as is freddie arriving with a
full-on lewis gun then ada strolls into
no man's land with her infant child and
tries to shame both sides into giving up
the fight so you all know what happens
next
i've got brothers and a husband here but
you've all got somebody waiting for you
kimber gets a shot off on tommy and
danny whizbang who goes down like a hero
tommy gets back up and headshots kimber
to bring the fight to a close what an
epic showdown kimball and me for this
battle one-on-one
it's over
go on to your families
number six turning the tables on luca
luca changleta is one of the most
formidable adversaries the peaky
blinders ever face the italian american
mobster aims to execute a vendetta on
the shelby family and apparently kills
both jon and arthur
[Music]
with victory seemingly in hand luca
arrives with hired men to have tommy
sign over his businesses to the
changretta family you will sign them all
over
to my family
are you gonna die
right yeah
tommy reveals that he has made deals
with new york gangs and freaking al
capone to buy lucas men's loyalty after
a brawl between luca and tommy it's
further revealed that arthur survived
the attack on him seeing him shoot luka
and getting revenge for jon is as
satisfying as it is badass life
tell your boss what you saw here today
number five funding withdrawn paulie and
tommy are some of the blinders most
intimidating leaders and when they visit
an orphanage together it leads to one of
the most badass scenes of the show you
wanted to speak to us mr shelby yeah
all of us
at 6 30 in the morning yes
they have funded saint hilda's orphanage
for girls yet they've also heard
unpleasant reports from the children
there of abuse which culminated in a
black girl's death naturally they
withdraw their funding and relocate the
kids to other institutions
look at me
[Music]
funding withdrawn
tommy's smashing the head nun's glasses
when she claims not to see is fantastic
but polly steals the show here her quiet
menacing threat to the same sister would
have anyone praying for salvation you
have no say in where the children if i
come for you
and i still might yet decide to come for
you
i will wear high heels so you can hear
my approach on the cobblestones and have
time to repent the righteous anger and
magnificent acting on display make this
an underrated yet incredible scene
number four estate shootout when tommy's
location is apparently given up to luca
chancleta and his men things look dire
luca and his men roll up with tommy guns
to take tommy down
[Music]
[Applause]
but it was all part of his plan tommy
recovers several stashed guns and
surprises them after killing one he
leads them on a cat and mouse hunt
through nearby estate housing
[Music]
but while tommy is the one running lucas
men are the ones to die as he manages to
kill all but one aside from luka himself
he has a tense standoff with luka but
the coppers intervene and put a stop to
the violence
this is one of the show's best action
scenes and illustrates tommy's guile
foresight and skill like few other
moments
number three the first red right hand
the very first scene of peaky blinders
doesn't only immediately set the time
and place of the show but it also
establishes its style
[Music]
tommy goes to get a horse blessed by a
chinese girl in birmingham's chinatown
then he rides the beast back through the
streets as red right hand plays over an
extended long shot
the absolute swagger of not only tommy
as he's greeted by even the police with
respect but also the music and
filmmaking are utterly badass as well
this scene let us know immediately that
this is a man and show that are
effortlessly cool
number two polly's revenge on campbell
chester campbell does many despicable
things but his most heinous and
despicable act is against polly gray
get it
that night
no
i want him free
i'll get him free
his assault on her makes the piggy
blinders actions seem charitable so when
the time comes to take him down for good
it must be polly in the middle of a
crowded bar at the derby paulie holds a
gun on him in a telephone booth
small and weak
that's how you like it isn't it
well this time small and weak has got a
gun while campbell attempts to force a
romantic connection between them polly
rightly pulls the trigger delivering
that immortal line
don't with the peaky blinders then
she walks calmly with blood down her
front through a room full of people what
an absolute boss
before we get to our top picks here are
a few honorable mentions the grenade
tommy masterfully bluffs his way out of
a tense negotiation
if i don't walk out that door
with a stroke of seven
he's gonna treat the grenade and
your very combustible room
will blow us all to hell tommy's letter
to churchill he simultaneously flexes on
and embarrasses campbell plus obtains an
import license i read that you fought
bravely mr churchill therefore i hope i
will be treated in any dealings we have
with a degree of respect soldier to
soldier luca meets tommy having the
foresight to take the bullets out of
tommy's gun is both scary and awesome i
could have killed you when i walked
through the door
but you see
i want you to be the last
i want you to be alive
after your entire family is dead bomb
threat tommy delivers an ultimatum and
drinks tea with a real ticking bomb from
now on
you will sell
only cigarettes
cake and tea
if i hear that you're selling opium
again
tamil indeed run out very quickly for
you do you understand tommy defeats
michael michael's double cross is all
part of tommy's plan
no one close to you makes a choice
without your opinion tom
not arthur
not me
not ada
we can't escape you

one crossed the line alfie solomon's is
one of the most entertaining characters
in peaky blinders while often comedic
he's also a complete badass i asked you
to come along when unarmed yeah well
alone i ain't never gonna do am i during
a meeting with tommy the leader of the
peaky blinders deduces that alfie has
been working with his enemies who
threatened his son charlie's life which
tommy considers going too far you cross
the line the light they're using my boy
alfie claims to have known about this
but makes little of it leading to an
explosive confrontation and alfie's man
getting killed by michael even in the
face of that alfie lambasts tommy for
criticizing him when tommy has been
responsible for the death of many sons
the killing of healthy solomons is not
going to help
this will be very bad for business and
the fact that alfie was lying about
knowing they were using charlie only
makes it more badass he risked death
just to prove a point
