I mean Denzel was def in the zone for this scene.. He hit every stage of grief, denial, anger, bargaining.. followed by depression and acceptance right at the end.
@@AlexDelarge1990 agreed. A sliiiiight glance of grief or sorrow or regret. It's all the same. He played it perfectly. What made the character so great to begin with was the ego.
@@jimsty5222 Every time he looked around and realized everyone was walking away in order to not be witnesses to his own murder, he showed grief. Pause and look at his expression at 4:14. Then observe that final silence as he lights his cigarette in a somber melancholy. He knows he's going to die. He doesn't wan to, he's desperate not to, but he's already used up every manipulative tool in his arsenal, and this time it's not going to work. At 4:42 he says to himself "what a _mufukkin day..._ trying to force a resentful smile, but his voice is cracking because he's trying not to cry. At the end, all he's got left is a cigarette. That's grief. It comes and goes in a flash, but it was grief.
@@OGecalien If that was in real life he wouldn't be standing up talking like the bullet wound healed in seconds. The bullet could have went through the pelvis bone damaging surrounding organs! He would be laying on the ground screaming from being shot!
@@Angry.General1461 I mean of course but it wouldn't really be as great of a scene if Alonzo just layed on the ground for a while yelling and moaning instead of the brief agony before getting back into dialogue. Plus, they had just been fighting on the rooftops before Alonzo ultimately crashed the car from jake jumping on the hood. Let's say it was real life. He had a lot of adrenaline going and was fearful of not returning the money on time. With a lot of adrenaline going, people can sometimes briefly endure immense amount of pain compared to without the adrenaline. Bullets don't always penetrate very deep either. Could've stopped in the muscle tissue. He winces again at the end of this scene when he leans up against the car after his rant and one last time in the car when he pulls up to the intersection before getting pinned in by the Russians. Was pretty realistic for the most part.
@@Angry.General1461 it’s not real life tho. I don’t get why y’all make such useless comments. Y’all that bored? “Oh let me take this random scene and complain about how it would go in real life cuz I got no life”. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
In an earlier scene, it shows how members of that community were sick and tired of being bullied by Alonzo. Fed up with a corrupt cop abusing his power. Once they saw that he was powerless, they knew they could finally stand up to him. At the beginning of the confrontation, Bone only lays down the pistol and doesn't choose sides; stays neutral in this confrontation between 2 cops. Near the end of the confrontation when Jake snatches Alonzo's badge and it is clear that Jake is a clean cop that wants to do good and protect the community is when Bone and Terry Crews turn against Alonzo. It's hard for black people to trust cops. What if Jake had been just another dirty cop having a dispute with Alonzo?
It's so telling that despite trying to literally kill him, he respects him and sees Jake as a younger version of himself. He even said as much veggie trying to have Smiley kill him! He felt distraught having his badge taken because he knows that Jake is the cop Alonzo wanted to be, but never could be.

I love that last line, "what a day". That's exactly how I felt when I first watched this film. If ever that line was more deserved, it would be this moment. Great film.
Would you say the ending to Infinity War has a similar situation? One in which you see the remaining avengers after the snap and you're just like.... "What a day/movie"
@@StretchDubno bro not at all, thats a marvel movie with no real meaning to it or relevance to life, we dont have a 9/10ft purple alien with stones snapping people out of existence, and then superheroes talking about "what a day" that doesnt have the same feel at all💀 you gotta be really young or old and out of touch with reality to think that.
Lmao are you seriously comparing a dime to a nickel. It’s funny when it comes to opinions with truly great films and dialogue if you take out all the music from that movie and run it and then play this film or like a no country for old men film with absolutely zero background music and you then only realize that it’s just the actors and they either steel the show and movie or it’s just another super hero avengers movie
I love that final moment when he looks towards his girlfriend and son. It's as though he is hoping they will be there to support him. But they turn and walk away just like everyone else on the street did. And Alonzo realizes that he is truly alone.
Yea because they are the mistress and secret bastard child. At the end it’s revealed that he has a wife and fours sons. I’m sure they lived in a safe and upscale neighborhood. His girlfriend and love child are harbored away in the ghetto. They won’t be mentioned in his obituary. His wife and four sons will be.
I took it to mean that Alonzo realized he really was going to die, because that is why his honey quickly took their son away. She did not want their son to see Daddy being killed.
@@ingleringlet-snipps3rd449 Well, he was a dead man as is without the money to pay back the Russians, plus he was no longer in control like he had been used to, given how he saw Jake was willing to kill him if necessary to stop him from taking the money since it was evidence, as well as how Jake showed everyone he wanted to do what was right, not to be corrupt like Alonzo was. Hence why it makes sense he knew he was truly alone, hence his ranting and raving and going through the various stages of grief because he knew he was essentially fucked.
“I run shit here! You just live here!” Even in that moment he was still trying to assert his dominance even though everyone knew that he was a dead man and had no more power
denzel said himself that this was his favorite role he’s played. a true fan of his can really understand why. he was truly in his element the entire film. gonna make sure my grandkids see this one.
@@pedrojello8983 That's debatable. Alonzo had been exploiting that neighborhood for what had likely been years, and the occupants had most likely lost any faith they had in the police department. Then they finally see someone stand up to him, symbolically strip him of his position as a cop and reduce him to nothing more than a common criminal, lower than the scum he claims to put down. Not only that, but Jake also proved that there is still hope for good cops as he managed to resist Alonzo's corruption. Even though Jake is a cop, that would be enough to gain that community's respect. Also notice that they don't kill Alonzo either, because he isn't worth it and they know he's a dead man without that money anyway.
@dtk100000 How the hell did you come up with this dumb theory? "Hollywood has become lazy".. Yeah, they're not into making money and collecting awards, because they are lazy, whaat? It's insanely difficult to put together a film such as the Training Day. You never had too many films in that quality league at the same time. That's why. "now relying on rehashing old comic book superhero movies." Yeah, like the Joker. And they do it pretty damn well :)
Long Live└A But he also did roles that more dramatic then this, and more serious that deserves an Oscar like: John Q, Remember Titans and Malcolm X. That's why Jadakiss said, " Why Denzel had to be crookit before he took it". Don't get me wrong tho, this is one of his best!!
3:48 - When Alonzo says "you'll never see the light of day" and before even finishing that sentence transitions into "who the fuck you think you're fucking with?" is absolute masterclass acting. Think about any bad argument you've had with someone and you brain is thinking ahead of your words. Good chance that was improvised. Excellent
Exactly bro. I thought I was the only one that looked into things like that. It's the small details that add into the realism of what they're trying to portray. When people tell me about best acting scenes, they usually bring up something that a character said that sounds like it was read straight from a script by the way they deliver it. That transition with no pause made it sound like he's really yelling at somebody outside of my house 😂
Removing the badge was the most powerful scene. "You don't deserve this." I wonder how many men/women use the badge to their advantage? How many use the badge to take from the desperate for their personal gain and then go home to tell their children that they are role model citizens and anyone that disobeys must be dealt with bullets to the head. Training Day does an epic representation of the culture that is unchecked with the men/women of American Law Enforcement.
so damn true most cops hide behind there badge because they can. the law and government has their back. and it scary that cops can get away with just about anything and if they do get caught they get off easy. some people become cops for the wrong reasons have you notice that cop are suppose to make you feel comfortable but ironically they make you feel uncomfortable. and I wonder if Alonzo did in fact corrupt Jake because he gives Alonzo street justice. and in the alternate ending he walks in his home with the money.
Most cops don't talk advantage of the law from what you just said, all of the bad ones that you hear about is what makes the good ones look bad. So no not every cop is corrupt. I come from a cop family and I know many other cops to the point where I don't know their names but I get mad when people say all cops are bad or most cops are bad but you are wrong, every job in the world has corrupt people in them. The fbi has corrupt people, politics has corrupt people, the police have corrupt people, but so does an Applebee's so does a Walmart so does a hospital, but of course everyone focuses on just cops which I can understand because they are meant to keep people safe which they do, but very few cops take advantage of the law.
This is why Denzel is GOAT IMHO. His being black...let's be honest, he can't play the roles that DDL or DiCaprio or Hanks plays. He's been nominated six times, won two Oscars and could've won two more easily (Malcolm X, The Hurricane). Imagine if he was white and could've been Lincoln. Or Harvey Milk. Or Truman Capote. Or The Pianist. It goes on and on. People try to say he plays the same guy...that's bullshit. Because he's the strongest black lead since Poitier, people project what they FEEL on to him. Alonzo Harris isn't EZ Rawlins isn't Trip from Glory isn't Steven Biko isn't Creasy isn't Mel Tolson. No one has done more with their work than Denzel has. I truly believe that. Training Day in anyone else's hands would've been some BET movie right now.
I love denzel as much as anybody, I love DiCaprio as well. I think denzel is much better than dicaprio. If scorsese ever needed a black dude for a character, denzel would grab an Oscar & Scorsese would get best picture & director. But it just isn't that way. Denzel doesn't do too many great characters. His range is pretty lame. He's the same guy in every movie. Hate to say it but it's the truth. He's that bad ass, sarcastic, confident & funny dude in every movie.
DJ Standing Elk damn...shows how much you know. Philadelphia? Flight? Training Day? John Q? Every character he played in those movies are nowhere near the same....i think youre talking out of your ass there sir.
Yeah I watched all of Denzel's good movies. Even a few of his bad ones. He put up a top 10 performance ever in Malcolm X & the rest he kinda just shows up and does the same thing. Same voice & mannerisms (great actors switch it up). Don't call me stupid because I disagree. I probably know more about the history of film than you two combined. American Gangster could've been an all time great movie if Denzel played Frank Lucas but no.... He played Denzel Washington. Just because the character is different doesn't mean Denzel plays him different. Not to single him out tho, many actors can only do one style. Wahlberg, Damon, Pitt, even the great, great, GREAT Jack Nicholson is almost always Jack Nicholson.
King Kong kidnapped a white woman and took her into his world right before getting shot. Denzel took Ethan under his wing and was shot as well. Guess him and Kong are more similar than Alonzo thought.
Act like he was on something as he was shouting. Eyes wild and foaming at the mouth. That how the druggies act when they can't get a hit. Great acting!
Damn this was a powerful scene he got so mad & started shouting about how he's going to ruin there lives because they finally stopped fearing him & stood up to him & when he calms down & he sees his wife & kid starring at him then walks away it's him slowly realizing all that fear they had for him & power he had over them was gone he realized he wasn't going home or to jail he was going to die
What a fucking beautiful range of emotions Denzel went through in this scene... From the ultimate authority who thought he was respected by the entire neighborhood, to literally begging Jake for the money/his life, all in less than 5 minutes. God damn man, what a fantastic movie, even all these years later.
@@adriel88_bro what? this is a dumb ass question, theres TONS of COPS ALL RACES, like Alonzo in real life dawg not just black ones, don't say/ask stupid/ignorant shit like that man.
Denzel absolutely killed it but lets give props to Ethan Hawke too. He didn't get to do all the shouting maniacal dialogue, he just has to stand there but he's still seething with determination and anger and vengeance and pure will. Look at his face and stride when he "bounces". Badass.
This is a bloody great performance. He is a great actor, draws you into the screen to complete the frame. His acting is always so encapsulating. Acting like this makes you fall in love with cinema. It is such an expressive and articulated art form. Man, I love cinema.
+Adrian Strong The Scarface role didn't require much emotion. Alonzo Harris required much more emotion, such as despair, crookedness, fear, and anger, all of which Denzel mastered beautifully. This role required much more skill to play, so I go with Denzel.
+Rome Caesar Fuck that, Denzel is one of the greatest actors of all time but he will never be able to touch Marlon Brando, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Jack Nicholson, or Daniel Day Lewis.
After all these years just learned what I thought was a prison Shoe program(making shoes), was actually SHU program...Secure Housing Unit-8/10 cell-23hr a day lock down.....clueless!!!lol
@@Mookaron so did Alonzo bullied the Black Community ? Is that why they got tired of him ? They look at him with disgust on they faces like your a cop that supposed to protect and serve yet you are also black and look how u treat us. Is that why they turned on him bro ?
Best acting performance in the world history.....Someone was maybe said that fact,but nobody of many great actors doesn't have so much emotion in one place.......MASTER!!!
I'm the police! I RUN SHIT HERE U JUST LIVE HERE Yeah, that's right, you better walk away. Go on and walk away... 'cause I'm gonna' burn this motherfucka down. KING KONG AIN'T GOT SHIT ON ME
This scene give me chills Everytime I see it Alanzo was screaming his lungs out because first time in his life people was not scared of him therefore he felt he lost all his power over them also people left him alone and didn't bother to kill him because they knew he's already dead man . Great acting from both sides
Denzel Washington is such a good actor that when Jake tells him "That's my evidence, you wanna go to jail or so you wanna go home?" You can see how he actually tears up from emotion as he knows that he taught Jake his own doom. Love this movie lol
Such an iconic scene, and legend of a film. An extremely underrated film that covers such an iconic storyline, with a legendary cast like Denzel Washington, characters, and track too it. Watched it on my birthday today on the 19th of April, and was extremely worth it. I don't want to spoil too much, but its worth every penny, and very intense, action packed, and interesting for those who are interested in watching.
That scene right there is what earned Denzel awards. He felt that and if I was a producer, I would have paid him millions to act like that. Denzel, that is my favorite scene from ANY movie. You are the BEST. Don't forget that no matter how tough life gets.
blockmasterscott -- Oh I wouldn't say he wasn't afraid. In certain he would have been because he doesn't know that they despise alonso. He is courageous. Courage is feeling fear but doing what you need to do anyway. I love the part where they stop him and he said "I'm here for Alonso" and without speaking a word they just back off like "OK, go get him!"
This scene is badass in a way, but it's also sad. Especially at the end around 4:38 when he looks up at his girl and son knowing it's most likely the last time he will see them. Truly this movie was so amazing they had to put " What a Day!" in the script. What's badass about this is that Alonzo is he's ranting his ass off at someone holding him at gun point and a crowd with 97% being gang members.Also I realize that there is a good chance that Alonzo's team kills Jake, afterwards.
Taylor Giavasis If they weren't, how come they didn't kill Jake even when the had the chance? All that money that belonged to Alonzo, they didn't go for it.
dallen33 They didn't have the chance because the rollers were on their way. They didn't have time to plan how to take Jake out and create yet another story to explain how it happened. The house scene showed me that they were loyal to Alonzo. If they were really sick of him like you stated, then they could had easily overrun him and take his cut.
denzel truly is the one of the best actors of his generation.
agree

What does it mean....I'm Indian I don't get tat
Dude youre fucking everywhere... W.
Long Live└A But he also did roles that more dramatic then this, and more serious that deserves an Oscar like: John Q, Remember Titans and Malcolm X. That's why Jadakiss said, " Why Denzel had to be crookit before he took it". Don't get me wrong tho, this is one of his best!!
This scene leaves me speechless every time.
How Denzel says "you shot me in the ass" always cracks me up😂
Denzel just took this scene and ripped the shit out of it. Powerful acting. One of the best scenes ever.
You know you fucked up when Kobe Bryant holding a gun at you
lol, i literally was sitting here going "man that guy looks just like kobe" hahaha
now i remember. i seen old boy in that movie "Street Kings"
he don't miss
LMAO😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol lol
3:48 - When Alonzo says "you'll never see the light of day" and before even finishing that sentence transitions into "who the fuck you think you're fucking with?" is absolute masterclass acting. Think about any bad argument you've had with someone and you brain is thinking ahead of your words. Good chance that was improvised. Excellent
Exactly bro. I thought I was the only one that looked into things like that. It's the small details that add into the realism of what they're trying to portray. When people tell me about best acting scenes, they usually bring up something that a character said that sounds like it was read straight from a script by the way they deliver it. That transition with no pause made it sound like he's really yelling at somebody outside of my house 😂
Apparently this whole scene was improved by Denzel.
Removing the badge was the most powerful scene. "You don't deserve this." I wonder how many men/women use the badge to their advantage? How many use the badge to take from the desperate for their personal gain and then go home to tell their children that they are role model citizens and anyone that disobeys must be dealt with bullets to the head. Training Day does an epic representation of the culture that is unchecked with the men/women of American Law Enforcement.
that was deep well done.
FACTS!
Well said Mr. Baker.
so damn true most cops hide behind there badge because they can. the law and government has their back. and it scary that cops can get away with just about anything and if they do get caught they get off easy. some people become cops for the wrong reasons have you notice that cop are suppose to make you feel comfortable but ironically they make you feel uncomfortable. and I wonder if Alonzo did in fact corrupt Jake because he gives Alonzo street justice. and in the alternate ending he walks in his home with the money.
Most cops don't talk advantage of the law from what you just said, all of the bad ones that you hear about is what makes the good ones look bad. So no not every cop is corrupt. I come from a cop family and I know many other cops to the point where I don't know their names but I get mad when people say all cops are bad or most cops are bad but you are wrong, every job in the world has corrupt people in them. The fbi has corrupt people, politics has corrupt people, the police have corrupt people, but so does an Applebee's so does a Walmart so does a hospital, but of course everyone focuses on just cops which I can understand because they are meant to keep people safe which they do, but very few cops take advantage of the law.

Denzel deserved this Oscar for sure but also should have won for Malcolm X. He is truly a grandmaster of acting.
Definitely should have won 🏆 for Malcolm X
One of the most beautiful and painful movies to see... 100% pure honesty
1:42 that guy from behind couldnt hold it lmao
LOL
lol
LoL. Never noticed that until now.
StormChamber00 I still think this part is hilarious 😂
Both of em 😂😂😂
I can watch this 1,000 times, and I'm still blown away by Denzel's FANTASTIC acting... Great movie!!
Pretty sure I’ve watched it more than 1,0000 x lol it’s a morning routine now. 😂 ☕️
Denzel deserved an Oscar for that role. His performance as a villain really made me enjoy this film a lot.
He got one!
When you find out the crew went to a party without you
PJ Mo I'M PUTTING CASES ON ALL THEM BITCHES.
I love Denzel Washington. The way Alfonso's calm and collected demeanor slowly fades away as he gets more and more desperate is amazing
"SHU PROGRAM, NIGGA!!!" Cracked me the fuck up when I saw it in the theater.
Finally someone that spelled it right! I think you’re the first one in 8 years to do so. lol
This is why Denzel is GOAT IMHO. His being black...let's be honest, he can't play the roles that DDL or DiCaprio or Hanks plays. He's been nominated six times, won two Oscars and could've won two more easily (Malcolm X, The Hurricane). Imagine if he was white and could've been Lincoln. Or Harvey Milk. Or Truman Capote. Or The Pianist. It goes on and on. People try to say he plays the same guy...that's bullshit. Because he's the strongest black lead since Poitier, people project what they FEEL on to him. Alonzo Harris isn't EZ Rawlins isn't Trip from Glory isn't Steven Biko isn't Creasy isn't Mel Tolson. No one has done more with their work than Denzel has. I truly believe that. Training Day in anyone else's hands would've been some BET movie right now.
I love denzel as much as anybody, I love DiCaprio as well. I think denzel is much better than dicaprio. If scorsese ever needed a black dude for a character, denzel would grab an Oscar & Scorsese would get best picture & director. But it just isn't that way. Denzel doesn't do too many great characters. His range is pretty lame. He's the same guy in every movie. Hate to say it but it's the truth. He's that bad ass, sarcastic, confident & funny dude in every movie.
DJ Standing Elk damn...shows how much you know. Philadelphia? Flight? Training Day? John Q? Every character he played in those movies are nowhere near the same....i think youre talking out of your ass there sir.
DJ Standing Elk your stupid
Yeah I watched all of Denzel's good movies. Even a few of his bad ones. He put up a top 10 performance ever in Malcolm X & the rest he kinda just shows up and does the same thing. Same voice & mannerisms (great actors switch it up). Don't call me stupid because I disagree. I probably know more about the history of film than you two combined. American Gangster could've been an all time great movie if Denzel played Frank Lucas but no.... He played Denzel Washington. Just because the character is different doesn't mean Denzel plays him different. Not to single him out tho, many actors can only do one style. Wahlberg, Damon, Pitt, even the great, great, GREAT Jack Nicholson is almost always Jack Nicholson.
Hater! Don't like to see my people do anything right, or get ahead.
King Kong kidnapped a white woman and took her into his world right before getting shot.
Denzel took Ethan under his wing and was shot as well. Guess him and Kong are more similar than Alonzo thought.
Good reference!!!!!
Lmfao 🤣💀
Why do you always make things about race? Difference is Alonzo tried to set Jake up and have him killed. He was just defending himself in this case.
@@robjackson5245 race thing? Kingkong really did do what he said, it wasn’t meant to be serious just a lil reference 🤦🏽😂
Except King Kong didn't try to kill Ann.
This scene is so badass it distracts from the sheer quality of Denzel's acting...one of most impressive acting scenes I have ever scene.
Act like he was on something as he was shouting. Eyes wild and foaming at the mouth. That how the druggies act when they can't get a hit. Great acting!
But this was more serious than a druggie. He was threatening people here.
Damn this was a powerful scene he got so mad & started shouting about how he's going to ruin there lives because they finally stopped fearing him & stood up to him & when he calms down & he sees his wife & kid starring at him then walks away it's him slowly realizing all that fear they had for him & power he had over them was gone he realized he wasn't going home or to jail he was going to die
One of the best scenes ever
I RUN SHIT HERE YOU JUST LIVE HERE
Now this is an Oscar
Man I've been throwing out that line for years.
From 3:18.......the ravings of a man out of time. Brilliantly acted scene.
What a fucking beautiful range of emotions Denzel went through in this scene... From the ultimate authority who thought he was respected by the entire neighborhood, to literally begging Jake for the money/his life, all in less than 5 minutes. God damn man, what a fantastic movie, even all these years later.
you'll never see the light of WHO THE FUCK YOU THINK YOU'RE FUCKIN' WITH?
im the police i run shit here, you jus live here😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dante Crowell KING KONG AIN'T GOT SHIT ON ME😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
LOL
Pelican Bay State Prison (PBSP) is the only supermax state prison in California.
its the hardest and severe prison in Cal
San Quentin is also rough.
20 years later and I still get chills from this monologue.
Are there actually Black Cops like Alonzo in real life ???
@@adriel88_bro what? this is a dumb ass question, theres TONS of COPS ALL RACES, like Alonzo in real life dawg not just black ones, don't say/ask stupid/ignorant shit like that man.
@@adriel88_Camden Nj prior to 2010
Denzel absolutely killed it but lets give props to Ethan Hawke too. He didn't get to do all the shouting maniacal dialogue, he just has to stand there but he's still seething with determination and anger and vengeance and pure will. Look at his face and stride when he "bounces". Badass.
Agreed. He deserves credit as well…
I'm winning any motherfuckin way. I can't lose.
@Garrett Briles *The Russians: We'll see about that.*
@@starhunter9085 They lit his shit up like the police did queen latifah's character at the end of set it off
I love the impressed grin that Alonso gives Jake when he uses his own line against him
“You can shoot me, but you can’t kill me” a awesome line delivered by the greatest actor ever
This film is unreaaaal, so good man. Denzel deserved his Oscar 100%
He was phenomenal in this movie but he deserved to win for Malcom X the previous year and Russell Crowe should have won for A Beautiful Mind.
One of his great masterpieces and how he portrayed Alonzo was so epic. Definitely one of the greatest actors of his generation
this is the scene that won him the academy award.
You can shoot me, but you can't kill me
John Craig 2Pac
Alonzo: you can shoot me but you can't kill me?
Russians: oh Really? Hand me the guns.
This is a bloody great performance.
He is a great actor, draws you into the screen to complete the frame.
His acting is always so encapsulating.
Acting like this makes you fall in love with cinema.
It is such an expressive and articulated art form. Man, I love cinema.
greatest actor in world history. no one takes every character and KILLS it. #DontDebateMe
+Adrian Strong fuck no.
+Adrian Strong The Scarface role didn't require much emotion. Alonzo Harris required much more emotion, such as despair, crookedness, fear, and anger, all of which Denzel mastered beautifully. This role required much more skill to play, so I go with Denzel.
***** It's a fact that it didn't require any emotion. I seen the film. Pacino just appeared as non-chalant and sleazy throughout.
+Adrian Strong Well if that's your opinion, so be it.
+Rome Caesar Fuck that, Denzel is one of the greatest actors of all time but he will never be able to touch Marlon Brando, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Jack Nicholson, or Daniel Day Lewis.
1:32 "Pine Oil Heaven" Classic Denzel !
ahaaaa lol
Malcolm X: Best Denzel Washington film.
Training Day: Best Denzel Washington performance.
I still give it to malcolm x but this was great also
This is not the ending scene. The ending scene is when the Russians ambushed his car and peppered him with Ak-47s.
Greg Rizal this is the ending King Kong speech. Classic!
"Peppered" lol
still to this day that’s one of the most savage scenes I’ve seen in any movie...
They were actually aksu74
This is what i say to my co workers when they won't give me a ride home!!!!!!.
lol "I run shit here, you just live here!"
The level of acting ability in this scene is in a whole different class. Denzel is a complete master at his craft.
You can see it on his face at 3:43...he’s absolutely terrified. He knows damn well that without that money, he’s a dead man. Brilliant acting.
1:42 - the guy in the back dressed in all black with glasses, look at him lol
"You got us twisted homie. You gotta put your own work in around here"
Bone a real one
After all these years just learned what I thought was a prison Shoe program(making shoes), was actually SHU program...Secure Housing Unit-8/10 cell-23hr a day lock down.....clueless!!!lol
U not the only one lol
I kinda figured it was that... secured housing.
Shu program nigga!
Lmao Denzel will never escape this role. People are always going to quote him in public haha.
He has many great quotes!
@@Mookaron I love the book of Eli I think is one of his underrated movies
@@Mookaron so did Alonzo bullied the Black Community ? Is that why they got tired of him ? They look at him with disgust on they faces like your a cop that supposed to protect and serve yet you are also black and look how u treat us. Is that why they turned on him bro ?
@@adriel88_ They turned on him because he was never one of them to begin with. Plus he abused his power.
It’s his Scarface.
I'm at a point in my life where I watch this scene every day... It's great
😂me too. Ha
Best acting performance in the world history.....Someone was maybe said that fact,but nobody of many great actors doesn't have so much emotion in one place.......MASTER!!!
"You'll never see the light of - who the fuck you think you're fucking with?!" - kills me every time lol 😂
I'm the police!
I RUN SHIT HERE
U JUST LIVE HERE
Yeah, that's right, you better walk away. Go on and walk away... 'cause I'm gonna' burn this motherfucka down.
KING KONG AIN'T GOT SHIT ON ME
This scene give me chills Everytime I see it Alanzo was screaming his lungs out because first time in his life people was not scared of him therefore he felt he lost all his power over them also people left him alone and didn't bother to kill him because they knew he's already dead man . Great acting from both sides
When Denzel got shot everybody in the background started laughing .
"ok motherfker" he said that under his breath after Jake told him he doesn't deserve the badge Lol
At the end when he says, "Oh, what a day. What a motherf*'in day" that's when it hit me - Alonzo put Jake through all that sh* in one day. Yeezus.
Rockstar's ending of GTA San Andreas.
It was based on this did you know ?
Yall got it wrong sandress base on menace to society
Jernard Ellis San Andreas was based off Boyz N Da Hood, Menace 2 Society, Training Day, and others.
"man... f*ck the tempeny, f*ck police lab dog, that's their own sh*t. look it you, you got the whole world, man... i am not regret" big smoke

Drop ig names I follow back 💯💯
"You disloyal fool-ass bitch-made punk" shit had me dead 😂
JAKE I NEED MY MONEY
JAKE
Aw you Motherfuckas
Denzel Washington is such a good actor that when Jake tells him "That's my evidence, you wanna go to jail or so you wanna go home?" You can see how he actually tears up from emotion as he knows that he taught Jake his own doom. Love this movie lol
"You muthafuckas ah be playin basketball in Pelican Bay when I get finished wit you!! Shoe program nigga!!" lol
Terry Crews is loving the fact that he has the best seat in this acting masterclass
That wasn't Denzel Washington,that was a crocked Cop who thinks that he has power,that's how awesome this scene was
playing basketball at pelican bay😂😂😂😂
You from Cali

things we learned from Training Day...
not shoe program, but SHU (safe house unit) program. #23HourLockdown
it's secured/security housing unit. not safe..
@@relentlessohio7222 what is“ secured housing unit”?

Incredible actor. Denzel needs a lifetime achievement award!!!
This ending is on the same level as the ending to Scarface!!!!
1:42
Dude in the background is laughing, then kobe comes over to remind him he's in a movie.
Such an iconic scene, and legend of a film. An extremely underrated film that covers such an iconic storyline, with a legendary cast like Denzel Washington, characters, and track too it. Watched it on my birthday today on the 19th of April, and was extremely worth it. I don't want to spoil too much, but its worth every penny, and very intense, action packed, and interesting for those who are interested in watching.
Underrated??? It won an Oscar. How much more rating do you want?
This scene won him the oscar.
i watch this movies 5 time and i still want to watch it againt
I agree, this movie never gets old.
You gotta love Denzel man! This guy is a gift ❤
That scene right there is what earned Denzel awards. He felt that and if I was a producer, I would have paid him millions to act like that. Denzel, that is my favorite scene from ANY movie. You are the BEST. Don't forget that no matter how tough life gets.
My favorite part of this whole movie was when Jake entered the Jungle all bloodied up with a single pistol and wasn't afraid of anyone.
blockmasterscott -- Oh I wouldn't say he wasn't afraid. In certain he would have been because he doesn't know that they despise alonso. He is courageous. Courage is feeling fear but doing what you need to do anyway.
I love the part where they stop him and he said "I'm here for Alonso" and without speaking a word they just back off like "OK, go get him!"
Best comment ever.
JDela10 reminds me of " 'How can a man be brave when he is afraid?' 'That is the only time a man can be brave.' " -Ned Stark
Why would he be? He's already faced death more than once today.
In my respect for this masterpiece, I always end a shitty day by saying "ah what a day. What a motherfucking day."
Lmao glad you said it. I genuinely do the exact same thing as I light up a cigarette.
This scene is badass in a way, but it's also sad. Especially at the end around 4:38 when he looks up at his girl and son knowing it's most likely the last time he will see them. Truly this movie was so amazing they had to put " What a Day!" in the script. What's badass about this is that Alonzo is he's ranting his ass off at someone holding him at gun point and a crowd with 97% being gang members.Also I realize that there is a good chance that Alonzo's team kills Jake, afterwards.
Denzel!
I don't think so, because its evident that Alonzo's team were tired of his shit.
dallen33
Not really.
Taylor Giavasis If they weren't, how come they didn't kill Jake even when the had the chance? All that money that belonged to Alonzo, they didn't go for it.
dallen33
They didn't have the chance because the rollers were on their way. They didn't have time to plan how to take Jake out and create yet another story to explain how it happened. The house scene showed me that they were loyal to Alonzo. If they were really sick of him like you stated, then they could had easily overrun him and take his cut.
