John Landis on POINT BLANK

- John Boorman's dreamily stylized adaptation of a Donald E. Westlake novel was way ahead of its time, adapting New Wave techniques to produce a deliberately alienating effect that confused and annoyed the brass at MGM, and might even be a moment-of-death flashback. Lee Marvin's greatest role. Remade more conventionally as Payback in 1999.

1967 was a wonderful year for Lee Marvin making this film and The Dirty Dozen. This is the toughest role of his career made in this film. John Boorman did an excellent job with this picture.
Lee Marvin looks ready to clobber anybody who comes near him. I love this film.
Lee Marvin is Pure Bad ass.
You may be cool, but you'll never be Lee Marvin-marching-through-LAX-cool.
this is one of those films that you've really got to watch a second time..to put it all together in yer mind!
Keenan Wynn was one of the most versatile actors in history! He would do things like the broad slapstick of Flubber, then turn around and do stuff like this (where he's a badass) and Dr. Strangelove.
Walker, Marvin's character, wasn't "a prisoner at Alcatraz, having taken the fall for the Mob". But Landis is so enthusiastic that he can be forgiven (sometimes) for not quite knowing what he's talking about.
Tom Hall Yes , I noticed that.but you make a good point. I saw this at my school's film society just after it came out aged 15 and it was one of the most compelling films I had ever seen. Oh, and Angie.
no he can't.
This is one of the coolest movies of all time.
"I can't stress to you what a violent, important movie this is"
he can't even fucking talk right.
Lee is just sooooooo badass in this movie. Perfect casting, a great movie, have it on Blu ray and so Angie looks even hotter
Geez, Landis, did you even see this movie? It's Warner-7Arts, not MGM, and Walker didn't "escape from Alcatraz" because he "took the fall for the mob."
Alcatraz is a drop point for mob money, and he, Sharon Acker and John Vernon steal the money from the bag men. Vernon's character breaks from the plan by killing the bag men and shoots Walker and leaves him there for dead. He wants to use Walker's share to pay off his debt to the mob and buy a position in the organization.
Walker "escapes" from Alcatraz in a way, by swimming, wounded, to the mainland. But no, he wasn't doing time there.
john doesn't care.
He did not take the fall for the mob, he wasn't a prisoner in Alcatraz.
From what I remember, he was left to die on the deserted Alcatraz after taking his cut from a heist.
Film noire.
Rated M for mature audiences.
Very stylish. Marvin's coolest.
This isn’t noir. Neo-noir, perhaps (I would classify it as simply “Crime Thriller”), but certainly not classic film noir. That era ended in 1958. That distinction must be made.
The violence in POINT BLANK is completely unlike Hollywood. Hollywood film violence is cold and calculated. Here, it all stems from raw emotion and it's presented in way to be incongruous to each scene.
I guess I am quite off topic but does anyone know of a good place to stream newly released tv shows online ?
@Ethan Korbin Flixportal xD
@Julio Jesse thank you, I signed up and it seems to work :D I really appreciate it !
@Ethan Korbin Happy to help =)
Netflix
Also, don't forget that Lee Marvin was rocking a .44 Magnum a full four years BEFORE Clint Eastwood in Dirty Harry. I think I recall that it has been speculated as Lee Marvin's own personal Smith & Wesson Model 29 revolver used in the film.
If anyone wonders, Landis' film where a scene is shot at that LAX corridor is "Into the Night" with Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Pfeiffer and many cameos, such as Clu Gulager, Richard Farnsworth, Francois Truffaut and a great hit-man turn by... David Bowie! (he's in this trailer, British teeth and all)

I was wondering...thanks for the info
John Boorman... Jeez, what an artist.
1:15 - Dean Wormer?!
yeah. that's him.
Seems to me that Marvin's character died in Alcatraz and the film was just his dying dream.
That is a strong theory of the film. I prefer to think he actually made it.
I think Angie Dickinson's sexiest role was in "Pretty Maids All in a Row." But yes, she was super-hot!
Lee Marvin/heist/ the mob/ Angie -- It's all you need
The scene where the guy shoots at him and he just looks at him before stepping backwards behind a pillar is one of the funniest scenes in any movie I have ever seen. Also the lady turning on all the kitchen appliances and the guy shooting the fucking phone. I don't know if the movie was intended to be absolutely hilarious, but it really really is.
It does have moments that are so weird as to be funny, but just for a second. Like the incredible punch in the balls during that fight behind the stage.
I don't know the scene with the pillar. There's one at the end, but no one is shooting at Walker. He knows he was set up, so he recedes behind the pillar 'til the sniper and "Yost" take the helicopter back.
That's the scene that hints maybe Walker is still bleeding in the cell upstairs and imagined all these events in his dying moments.
There's another one where the sniper kills Carter while Walker recedes into the archway overlooking the LA River.
Angie oh Angie...........oh...............Angie.
Point Blank is one of the best film noir movies ever. Of course it's a 1960s film and it's a lot hipper than the moves from the 40s and 50s, but it's in the same league as Out of The Past, Dark Passage, and other great film noirs.
This isn’t noir. Neo-noir, perhaps (I would classify it as simply “Crime Thriller”), but certainly not classic film noir. That era ended in 1958. That distinction must be made.
Wow, Carl Laemmle Jr. looks great for 116 years old!
(Oh, but this was 10 years ago, so he's only 106, but still!)
I always get the biggest kick out of that fight scene behind the curtains at the night club . Absolutely a riot , absolutely brilliant and sixtyish .
Lee Marvin went to prison and took the fall for the Mob? Jesus, did you even watch the film? Alcatraz is long ago abandoned and now used by the Mob as a money drop, which Lee Marvin intends to rob with John Vernon, who double crosses him and shoots him in the back.
"Do you know you have Lee Marvin on your roof?"

Great story, fucking hilarious!
Great film good short review thank you!
Jon Landis belongs in jail
How can he be so smarmy?
Lee Marvin doesn't go to prison for the mob??? Alcatraz is the rendezvous point and he's double crossed and left for dead after he's shot by one of his partners played by John Vernon...
It's based on the novel The Hunter by Richard Stark aka Donald Westlake.
Do you even rewatch the movie before your commentary Landis?
Thank the stars Joe Dante is part of this crew. At least he appreciates film for something other than a business.
OK
Joe Madden You're right. I've watched a number of Landis' contributions in Trailers From Hell. It's obvious he doesn't prepare and he doesn't really know the films he's talking about.
Spot on sir. I just watched Point Blank for the first time and Landis' comment stuck out like a honking clown horn.
The Organization is not even close to the mob
@@whoopsie890 Really?
You do, of course, realize that the "mob" is a catchall phrase, correct?
The Organization in Point Blank is a mob. A criminal organization.
Get it?
Have you ever read any of the books?
ハードボイルド映画の傑作😲リーマーヴィンがなにしろ渋くて男臭くてカッコ良かったですな💪🤔😃
This video is great, it really reminds me of the fact that John Landis got a man and two children killed.
John Landis should be in jail
yes.
I wish lax still look like this straight
Great film.
Yes he's very very hot that's all you need to say in a review

Ffs, people. This isn’t a “film noir.” Neo-noir, perhaps (I would classify it as simply “Crime Thriller”), but certainly not classic film noir. That era ended in 1958. These distinctions must be made. Otherwise, let’s just call asparagus a fruit.
Compare it to BONNIE AND CLYDE, which was released about the same time...
no comparison.
Point blank is better.
Benedict Cumberbatch kinda looks like Lee Marvin...
Yes but Lee wasn't gay
Don’t insult a real man like Lee Marvin.
Must be something wrong with me I didn't like it
yeah then John Boorman mad exorsit two and his king Arthur movie but awful
