hello everyone i hope you're having just the most amazing day today
welcome to the Film Insight channel for today's video we're gonna get into some of the best and
worst moments to be featured on Pawn Stars so sit back relax and without further ado let's get right
into the content guys obstacle course corey and Chumley struggle to move a hefty statue across
the store in a season 2 episode called hell week both of the boys try with all their might to lift
this heavy sculpture catching the attention of the old man and rick who give them grief
supposedly corey asserts that if their physical capabilities were called into question he'd be
able to beat chumley in any sort of competition if you couldn't already tell this is the setup
for one hell of an entertaining episode where at the end cory would be able to prove this claim
rick decides to challenge both corey and chumley to compete in an obstacle course that he created
whoever ends up winning will not only show who is physically superior but will have to buy lunch for
the rest of the week his obstacle course was no easy feat to complete consisting of a tire
stepping station a jumping jack station and a jump rope station admittedly rick was very excited to
see the two compete but he was hoping that neither of them would have to kneel from over exertion
jokingly as the two compete the old man points out that watching them is like watching a grizzly bear
try to ice skate in the end corey was able to prove his physical prowess and won against his
bud but not without making a clumsy performance neither really managed to impress the old man
or even rick they were mostly just laughing and joking around we really get to see everyone's
personality and humor in this episode making it one you have to check out being able to see
corey and chumley get so competitive is a rare sight to see which makes this one very enjoyable
bad deal a customer featured in a season 5 episode called corey's big play comes in with a set of
artifacts from an arizona prison intending to free himself of his wares the man claimed to have
owned a rare and valuable pair of balls and chains which would be very profitable to the pawn stars
supposedly these restraints came from yuma prison and were contained in an antique wells fargo
strongbox with this in mind he was hoping to leave the store with 2 000 but wasn't exactly sure of
the item's value upon some further inspection the balls seemed to have the prison's name embossed
on them and the chains appeared to have been electrically welded rick was conclusively able
to say that the set of items were not real and just inauthentic recreations however despite
these being some fake present keepsakes the wells fargo box caught rick's attention after thoroughly
inspecting the box it passes all of his tests and he begins to negotiate a price with the customer
starting the offer with 400 they do a lot of haggling and finally shake hands closing the
deal on 450 in order to truly determine the value of what he just bought rick goes over
to see one of his expert friends who is a museum administrator sadly he doesn't have the best news
for him revealing that the box is a complete fake and practically worthless when the old man caught
word of this he scolds rick telling him that he suspected that the box was fake the entire time
asking why he didn't speak up and prevent him from wasting all that money
the old man comically replied with now i can haul her at you pretty hilarious 32 roadster
the pawn stars crew evidently have a love for classic cars always jumping on the opportunity to
get their hands on one if it's for a good price so that's exactly what they did when a seller
named phil walked into the shop in a season 4 episode called buy the book with something special
he was looking to sell his 32 lincoln roadster which got rick and the old man jumping out from
behind the counter however the bargaining and settling aspect of this deal was another story
with there being a lot of disagreements while phil wanted to walk away with a hundred thousand
dollars rick was rather skeptical of considering this offer especially since the vehicle wasn't
exactly in prime condition supposedly rick believes that a 32 lincoln roaster could be sold
for around 170 000 but admin condition the same couldn't be said about phil's car which has some
very clear wear and tear that reduces its value significantly this prevented both rick and the old
man from being able to meet phil's asking price so they were in a bit of a standstill well until rick
said that he's willing to buy the car with 95 000 in gold while this is not something he can legally
do he gave phil the money and he bought some gold back from him in exchange for the car which was
their way around this thankfully everyone was able to leave the transaction satisfied the car
found a new home and phil was able to borrow a security guard to bring the gold to his car
of course this purchase was not the most expensive one in pawn star's history but it definitely was
paid in the most uniquely confusing way what an interesting episode customer alert
visiting the gold and silver pawn shop with a statue of perseus and pegasus by emil luipiku
in the second season episode flight of the chum a customer was hoping to make some money
familiar with pikol's work rick was instantly able to assess that he was holding something that was
probably going to be worth a lot in fact some of his statues are highly collectible and worth
thousands of dollars so he inspects the item further at first he became somewhat suspicious
of the fact that there were some odd markings on the back of the statue supposedly these markings
didn't exactly match the ones of the period it was produced in which was concerning later he
also finds something more engraved on the statue that sends him into a world of disappointment
on the statue was a line of text that read made in the united states which was the biggest giveaway
if you already didn't know pico was an artist who lived in france making the statue a reproduction
suggesting to the potential customer that his statue was fake made things escalate
to an entertaining level the man became very agitated and broke into an angry fit saying
i don't care what you say i don't care what you tell me but you're full of it
with tensions rising the pawnshop security guard antoine begins to walk toward the customer in
case some intervention is needed although rick confidently waves the guard back and leaves the
old man to have a word with the irritated customer he tells him calmly but firmly
that the shop is not interested in buying the statue and the man stomps out the door
a tribute tragically after spending close to a decade on one of the most popular reality shows
of all time richard oldman harrison passed away on june 25th 2018 at the age of 77. of course
for a man so legendary there has to be a tribute to his memory which is precisely what happened
in the final episode of season 15. it was made into an hour-long special that showcased some of
the absolute best moments of the old man for this special rick tearfully reminisces about his father
between clips revealing so many intimate details about him like how he cared deeply about his
family and friends his business and the passions that he had the whole episode was a roller
coaster of emotions with you feeling a degree of happiness and nostalgia but also sadness and grief
viewers get the chance to feel included in the lives of the people they've been watching over the
years which is a surreal experience most of the highlighted clips in this episode focus on the old
man at his best when he was arguably his happiest but also when he would get angry at employees of
the gold and silver pawn shop both of the types of clips shown however serve to show his no-nonsense
approach when dealing with others it really didn't matter who was in front of him the old man would
never hold back on what he was thinking or feeling richard was a man who played fair making him one
of the most beloved cast members on the show rest in peace old man you'll surely be missed
stolen item for an interesting season seven episode called sheckle and hide a customer comes
in with a fascinating item being one of the oldest artifacts to come into the shop the man brings
something called a shekel of tyre coins like these were used in the middle east during the biblical
times many even claiming they were used to pay judith to betray jesus obviously seeing potential
in such a historically valuable item rick begins a little inspection on the coin right off the bat
he was able to see that the coin had been cleaned for aesthetic reasons which brought down its value
after several minutes of discussion with the customer he decides to purchase it for a thousand
six hundred dollars although this wasn't much of a score for rick in the gang since another
employee suggests the coin might have been stolen this would mean that the 1600 that was spent was
in vain since the coin would inevitably need to be returned to its rightful owner even if there was
no wrongdoing on the part of the gold and silver they would most likely need to give up the coin
and just take the loss however after the police tracked down the coin's original owner it was
revealed that he had already been compensated by his insurance for the loss meaning the pawn shop
was able to legally purchase and keep this coin which was great news for rick well that will be
