A YouTuber has created an incredible edit featuring an invincible Gus Fring – and Breaking Bad fans love it.

The video – which was uploaded on May 25th – has achieved almost 450,000 views at the time of writing. It shows Fring (Giancarlo Esposito), the legendary Breaking Bad villain, surviving gun fire from countless characters in the show and beyond.

The edit is built on top of a memorable scene from the season four episode “Bug”. Gus walks out in the open following a sniper attack at his compound. As he walks towards the sniper, bullets ricochet off the ground around him giving the impression that he can’t be hit.

If that wasn’t badass enough, Alternative Cuts – the video’s creator – decided to ramp up the carnage in the seamless edit. In Gus’ now-extended walk, he easily survives gunfire from Jack Welker’s entire white supremacist gang.

Other shooters include Hank Schrader, Tuco Salamanca, the Cousins, and Tomás Cantillo. Fring also survives the exploding head of Tortuga (Danny Trejo), a rocket attack from The Terminator, “You shall not pass” from Gandalf, and much, much more.

Anyway, enough of me telling you about it – go and watch it for yourself!

The video has received rave reviews from Breaking Bad fans, with many commenting to share their thoughts. @CsubAzUrmedve said “At first I was like ‘yeah, every Breaking Bad character possible is shooting at him, neat’ then the f***ing Terminator shows up and it evolved into chaos. I love it.”

@DolanDarker commented “I do not think this will ever be topped, outstanding work”, while
@TheStorm119 simply said “This… is absolutely incredible.”

In the video’s description, Alternative Cuts explained the edit took two months to make. With that being said, we’re super pleased to see their hard work pay off and the video receiving the high praise it deserves.
