This is how I interview new employees for the store I manage. Racial epithets get exchanged, clip boards get slapped, and guns get pulled. Wal Mart doesn't like it but the brass isn't on the ground during Black Friday.
@@tricia3114 His brain is squirming like a toad.. There's no way that a couple of swings with that axe would have made a hole that neat. They should have just kicked the door in, more realistic.
This role epitomises Connery in the latter part of his career. I love how determined he is to get his city back. It’s such an uplifting performance...Rip Sean... there’ll never be another like him.
Rest in Peace Ennio Morricone, He did the musical score on this film and on Clint Eastwood's speghetti westerns. He did a great job with this film. He just passed away today.
I love that shot as they cross the street. The music, the architecture, the cars, the suits, the men striding out with shotguns and purpose, the sense of watching history unfold. This is a movie.
@@Fordham1969 That building in the background is the Chicago Board of Trade and it and the street look almost identical now as they did in 1930. I worked as a consultant at United Airlines a few years ago and took the train daily into Union Station from the suburbs. I walked up and down that same stairway where the famous shootout took place in the movie. Thought about it every day! :)
Brian DePalma killed it on all the details and the all the actors just nailed their performances. It's also a really "good looking" movie. You can sit and watch it on silent and it looks really well shot.
I love this scene. Garcia and Costner just breaking through are great, but it’s the old master Connery that absolutely dominates. The ‘there goes the chief of police’ remark is pitch perfect, but it’s the look of approval he gives when Garcia pulls his gun on him, that does it for me. Everything about Jimmy Malones character right there in a five second masterclass...first suspicious, then goading and incredulous, through to combative and finishing with an acknowledgement and a disarming smile. Giant of a performance from a giant of cinema. RIP Sean. Much missed.
Couldn’t agree more, he found a rotten apple on the tree fast, and knew he was the right man for the job. Plus gotta respect the hustle when the gun came out and they both stood there ground and tell him he liked him welcome aboard.
I think you mean Vincent Mancini. He didn't start using the name Corleone until after Michael officially let him into The Family. He was the illegimate son of Santino (Sonny) Corleone, but he kept his mothers last name.
I agree, but I don't understand the purpose of the odd pause before "pig." Was he thinking of saying something else? Was the line dubbed to alter a different utterance?
Mindriot91 _ This pause is actually in the movie. If you notice in this clip Connery saying “Bull shit” wasn’t dubbed. I’m thinking it was meant as a pause for effect like he wanted Connery to hang on it.
My mom, age 97 now, grew up in an Italian neighborhood on the south side of Chicago. She said the only way any of the Italians could get a job, especially with the city or in construction, was to use an Irish last name. Unfortunately numerous Italians ended up taking full headers off the top of skyscraper construction sites.✝️
That wasn't good at all. The poor bookkeeper got roped into something he was not skilled enough for, and got killed. They should have instead just recruited a couple more George Stones....
Even while playing an Irish policeman...Connery and his trademark "I don't do accents" characterization. I love it. Russian sub commander, Indy's father... that beloved Scottish brogue. 👍🏴
He single handedly made James Bond a Scot: Fleming didn't specify, probably didn't figure Bond for anything but English, but he liked Sean Connery so much that he wrote a backstory with a Scottish family. Turned Indiana Jones into a Scot too (ethnically at least) by playing his father.
YEAH, I LIKE WHEN NESS SAID YOU GOTTA HIM, STONE SAID YEAH I'VE GOT HIM,RIGHT THRU THE NECK,REVOLVERS ARE REAL GUNS,AUTO'S THEY JAM,BUT NOT IN MY HAND THEY DON'T
That's cultural appropriation now isn't it? :) At least that's what the snowflake a##holes call it. I'm Italian American. I couldn't give a #### that he's not. He played the part great.
Truly one of the finest movies ever made. Cinematically and aesthetically top drawer. Didn't hurt to have an ensemble cast and super directing. As well, Armani providing all the wardrobe was pure genius. His classic designs (and most successful) were all from that era.
The pure genius belongs to Vance Stryker and above all Richard Bruno. Armani sent a rack of ready mades to the U.S. for movie credit. The period suits from his collection were used (mostly by extras) but the real designers, who were amazing, got no credit.
One of the great scenes in this movie. The way Stone's face transforms from a puzzled/amused look to for example 2:41, looking like he really wants to do something to Malone, just attests how wonderful Andy García is.
The real important thing a lot of people miss in this part of the movie is the raid is at the US Postal Office. It's a Federal building, these guys don't need a warrant since they are Federal agents, they are not going after personal mailboxes. Malone knew this.
@ THEY KEEP BURNING BUILDINGS AND TEARING DOWN OUR STATUES AND RIGHTS,they'll learn what a sucking chest wound feels like-------------------AMERICA IS ABOUT FED UP,PUN INTENDED
@@Jwend392 Anyone who calls someone a bootlicker can safely have their homes burnt down and them shot as they flee. After all... you don't want the police to protect you, riiiiight?
@@darthkek1953 It's not about not being protected or there not being any policing as a concept, it's about criticism and ultimately radical change of the Police (note the capital P) as an institution. It is perfectly valid for someone to criticize the police and not want to be robbed in their home. What you want to is abusively hold people to ransom, threatening to leave them unprotected just so a barbaric police force can remain in power.
That scene where they walk across the street would be done with CGI today, just because it's easier than finding all those damn cars, closing the street down for filming, and setting it up to look like it did during the time period. And THAT makes it even more impressive IMO.
@Dmitri Kozlowsky Not true at all. I was a film editor in Hollywood for over 24 years. The only reason CGI was started was for Star Wars and LOTR franchise films. Throw in those idiotic comic book and superhero movies. There is nothing that comes close to the depth and texture of film.
I lived in San Francisco when the show "Nash Bridges" was out and they routinely would block streets I found myself having to drive down. Hollywood has no problem blocking traffic for anything as long as they get the permit
Where I live in Manchester, England movie companies have shut entire city centre streets and turned it into New York, with American Yellow Cabs, left hand drive American vehicles, (as we, in the UK drive with right hand drive vehicles). The only way I knew it was a British city from the on-set photograph was the UK modern day Police car doing crowd control at one end of the street.
Just A fews years back i was walking down St Marcks Place in NY when they were filming a 60's movie or serie. The street blocked, old cars driving and parked. The none period correct stores covered up with fakes facades or, if in the background of the street perspective, hidden behind decor extensions. Pull my phone to take a (very bad) picture and a stealthy assistant just told me to keep walking as they were rolling the camera. So as long as you looked correct, keep walking, do not look at the camera and did not pull out your cell phone to take a picture nobody and nothing to stop you from beeing in the shot as a "free extra". Just a few blocs away just in front of the horseshoe bar a fake subway exit had appeared out of nowhere! (4 blocs from the nearest line LOL) Don't know the title of the film though. A good set designer with paint and wood plancks are still cheaper than a modeler, an animator, a rendering specialist, a rotoscoper and an after effects artist, not counting the render farm cost, to make a period movie. And FYI, i've been in CGI for 20years and done that kind of job.
I saw this in the theater and I was stunned by how good it was. This scene is just one of many masterpieces. I was really nervous when the tension built up, and Andy Garcia did the “What the hell?? Aww shucks!” part perfectly.
Just like at the end of The Seven Samurai and The Magnificent Seven. only two walk away from the wreckage. Ness goes off to his next assignment. Stone is a better Chicago cop because of his time with the feds.
I d/l "The Anderson Tapes" the other week. Classic 71 Sean movie and it "introduced" Christopher Walken in his first role. Surprisingly ahead of its time, it's all about CCTV.
The was an impressionist in recent years that mimiced him perfectly (for his accent in movies which never changes) by saying, "in thish film, I play and Irish policeman, and in thish film I am a Spanish Nobleman, but in thish film, I am a communist submarine commander" an observation which was also impecable.
I have enjoyed this film for 3 decades. I can remember the first time I watched it. Which was the first of perhaps 150 times. Probably twice that. I am certain that I've watched this film more times than the entire Godfather trilogy. And considering how much I adore those "first two" three films that is a compliment for The Untouchables. My hat is off to u Mr. DePalma. Again.
This is the type of scene that makes us Italians walk out of the cinema all psyched-up and ready to fight anyone. "Would you like chocolate sprinkles on your cappuccino?" "What's that you said?"
The pain in Andy Garcias eyes when asked "What was your name, before you changed it?!" It said everything you need to know about the shit he went through. Lol best interaction between two characters.
@@ivanovolgovich1382 You know at that time italians were stigmatized and isolated, right? That's why many of them changed their name, because at least compared to the black people, they could fake to be "regular" white americans.
It of course has been said at many times and ways by countless others, but along with each and every one of them, I ❤ The Untouchables. - A complete unforgettable motion picture. A film that always will stand the test of Cinema historical time. - Thanks a million DePalma and as well Connery and Costner.
I hate to even admit how many times I've seen this movie. One of the all time favorite movies. If I'm flipping through the channels and I see it's playing I just HAVE to watch it. The acting, writing, music......and the clothing. Some beautiful suits and jackets. Especially loved the outfits worn by Andy Garcia.....gorgeous, classy jackets.
There's a similar one where Woody Harrelson interviews a Louisiana sheriff and deputy which also results in them working with Kevin Costner. Hmm... 🤔 (See The Highwaymen on Netflix.)
@@Dunkiep8 not cop, federal agent. Federal building, federal agent, no official/legal reason why they couldn't enter the room. Cops/federal agents need warrants to enter private property since they are not the private citizens in ownership of the land/property.
One of my favorite movies from the year 1987! "The Untouchables"! Kevin Costner had become a star. Robert De Niro had managed to play a great gangster, but it was Sean Connery who had managed to walk away with the Oscar that year for Best Supporting Actor. You can't have a better movie than that. Brian De Palma's direction was first rate too.
IMO I thought De Niro was one of the worst things about the movie., All the rest of the cast feel like real characters but he plays Capone like a caricature.
Andy Garcia's first big time role and he had the perfect intro. His look at Connery and that subtle instant "we've met before look" delivered perfectly.
I have to admit, he's one of the best non Italian Americans that play an Italian American so well...usually tough guy roles. Hell, he looks more Italian than me :) Blond/blue SOB that I am :)
One of my favorite movies of all time, I remember going to see this, the sound track was amazing, the Armani clothes they wore, Sir Sean Connery, Kevin Costner, Robert Dinero, Andy Garcia the scenery soooo awesome.
I was born in 1984, I'll be 36 next month. I've watched this movie since I was a little boy. I owned it on VHS which I still have and still own it on DVD. To this day when I'm cold I stomp my feet and think of this movie. I love it. All of that being said, the weapon flagging going on in this scene bothers the hell out of me. LOL
Well here's an example of the algorithm. I forgot all about this comment and here I am watching the same clip almost exactly a year later scrolling through the comments and seeing myself. No likes? Tough crowd.
I was born in ‘52 and I live this movie. I’ve watched hundreds of movies so far in my lifetime. Many of which I consider “classics”; even some before I was born. This ranks right up there in the “classics” and people will be watching it long after I’m gone from this earth.
How do you think he feels now?....better or worse? I've lost count of how many memorable lines are in this movie. I'll never get tired of watching this....ever!
Better? Or Worse? Also, I love the fact these clips were transferred from a high-quality VHS, it's how I first watched the movie when I was 11. I'm guess I'm part of the VHS nostalgia generation.
George Stone was my favorite character from this movie. I grew up on the south side of Chicago as well and seeing Andy Garcia's performance was awesome! Great movie, too!
In this short video clip there are a ton of memorable quotes that have been repeated below and......they're all awesome! I remember seeing this in a theater during its release in spring if 1987. My father loved it because he was born in the early 1930's and he marveled at how historically accurate the clothing and vehicles were just as he remembered it.
Every Italian friend I've ever had was like that "Mr Stone " very big hearted loyal to family people. Caputo, Scalfani, and Sorrento all good guys I know I could call anytime for dam near anything.
@@mindriot91_96 that's because Southern Italians were all Greeks. The Greeks settled in southern Italy and named it, "Magna Graecia" or "Greater Greece." I'm from Calabria. 😉
I'm a Brit and - for a while in the 2000s - I had a penfriend who lived in Brescia in the north. He had a negative view of the south. He also claimed that Neapolitans mangled the language. Never understood why.
