Hah, I thought so. You saved me from googling. Classic movie, 1972 Mean Streets where I first heard the word "Mook" and have been using it since. Keitel was the star, Deniro was just starting. The following year Deniro was in Taxi Driver and Harvey Keitel was basically a nobody in that movie.
Robert De Niro and Harvey Keitel's character's watching The Searchers in the movie theater in Mean Streets is a nice tip of the hat from Martin Scorsese to John Ford(one of his biggest directorial influences). Both of them are now legendary filmmakers.
Like the part with the guy playing pool and acting like that nothing is wrong. Also, Martin Scorsese has a unique genius when comes using music in his films to fit scenes and mood, and it dose not come of as a gimmick unlike a lot of filmmakers.
Yep. But I’ll bet everything I own that calling a man like that, in a place like that, “a mook,”which is prison for homosexual btw, would result in a beating
People Freak when I tell them This is my #1 Scorsese film. What!? What about Goodfellas??? AY! Tell the Goodfellas to Bring their Shine Box they wanna complain.
I have witnessed a lot of real life bar fights and this one was actually the most realistic in a movie...right up until the cops showed up out of nowhere. The police NEVER show up until after the fight is long over.
@@CutsCity413 Obviously you have never witnessed any real fights because they all look just as chaotic and unskilled as these guys did. FYI, I spent 4 years as a bouncer in a large bar and all technique goes out the window in a bar fight even if the participants know martial arts. Every Hollywood movie I have ever seen with a bar fight is nothing but ridiculously unrealistic choreography.
@@CaneFu I don't get into fights or nothing but I agree. When I see guys fighting almost always they're wildly swinging their fists like that. Guys with a lot of training might be different but they're the exception. Also a lot of fights end up on the ground if the first punches don't knock anyone out.
"Davis, how 'bout I give you some car fare". "Ok" "Took you long enough, where you going?" "Jersey" he gives him money then "Philadelphia" Only Scorsese. If you remember this movie, Scorsese is the one that shot Johnny Boy (Deniro) in this movie in a cameo.
@@Theimperialone-o2g Mean Streets was 1972, I have no disagreement about Joe Gallo, I only made mention that they did this also in Donnie Brasco based on the true story of FBI agent Joe Pistone infiltrating the mob back in 1976
Another snowflake, Trump maga supporter crying about De Niro. Robert De Niro is a legend who will live on forever through his films, and you are a nobody 😅
Some Trump maga cult supporters are crying in the comments about De Niro because he hates their God. Robert De Niro is a legend who will live on forever through his films and you guys are nobodies 😅
For Raging Bull he did a lot of boxing training with La Motta and reached a fairly good standard. You sound bitter, did he turn down a script you sent him?
I've seen this movie twice and the second time was just to see what I missed because of all the praise it seemed to be getting. I wasn't impressed by anything in this movie. I'll take Goodfellas over this every time. It doesn't even make my top five of Scorcese movies.

This must have been around the time that Richie took the jacket off the toughest guy in Essex County.

Love this film. Harvey Keitel, Robert De Niro, and the rest of the cast are great
IT’S THE JAAAAAACKEEEEEEEEEET!!!!

If you remember, Scorsese's mother was in this one too.
Wearing the jacketttttt!

A brawl with no resulting blood, bruises, scratches, or ripped clothing…
Yep. But I’ll bet everything I own that calling a man like that, in a place like that, “a mook,”which is prison for homosexual btw, would result in a beating
Scorcese got a lot better at violen ce in his films.
You're flexinnnnn'. Hey. You're *flexin'*.
😂😂😂😂

You can’t call me a mook. “I can’t?” 💥
"A mook, what's a mook"
Mooky how?

Even if they know they get paid off?

You got into it with a bunch of girl scouts if it looked like that haha ga y est fight scene I have seen in a while

And over 50 years later nobody knows what a mook is.
The word "mook" is slang for a person who is foolish, insignificant, or contemptible
Love Mean Streets😂😂
Even Martie's movie cameos were scary in Mean Streets and Taxi Driver; must've been due to "practicing" all those lines.

Richie Aprille, what's a mook?
Yourrrrr flexinnnnnn 😅
David Proval would have been the perfect Sonny Corleone instead of James Caan.
@7:40 I counted 10 “heys”😂😂😂😂
One of my favorites "nice streets"
They got that lion in the basement idea from crazy joe gallo
I also saw that in Donnie Brasco.
@Pbadome1 donnie Brasco came out in 97 mean streets is a 70s or early eighties flick if I'm not mistaken... Trust me they lifted this from crazy joe

@@Theimperialone-o2gAGREE 💯!
😂 a fight that lasted 3 minutes and no one's bleeding yet 🤷
2:41 I’d love to know what line got edited out there. You can see Deniros mouth move but no audio.
The guy calls him a mook, asks him what's a mook, then they attack him before they find out what a mook is. Maybe mook is good, he doesn't know...
😂😂😂
Most Funniest Fight Scene In A Movie 🎬 😅
Among Scorsese’s 4 best films. It will stand the test of time.
I thought the fight scene in this was hilarious!😂
Big fan of Robert de Niro.
Big fan of Martin.
But still I haven't seen mean streets.
Because it sux
Nobody seems to realise that the best weapon in a poolroom bar fight is pool balls.
I could watch Bob get wailed on all day.
Did you notice he's the same punk now?
Why? Have fasc ists consumed your brain entirely?
The thing I like about this movie is it shows Robert De Niro exactly what he is in real life. He is an Idiot.
Robert Dum Nero is a true life Mook! 🤣
Another snowflake, Trump maga supporter crying about De Niro. Robert De Niro is a legend who will live on forever through his films, and you are a nobody 😅

WTF is going on between 3:48 & 4:05 ???? LOL!!
He's running for his life.
They all need a lesson at trip and fawll skool………..heheheheheh
8:57 it's the jacket! Or am i too
late to say that
I always thought that Harvey keitel was,is over looked..I would love to see him on a film, with Al
0.32 wtf was he trying to hit?..
Yr the definition of a mook
I OWE EVERY BODDEEE MONEEEE
The Jacketttttttt
13.6 ? He hit 12 seconds before he even leaned……fabulous 100m I don’t care what his time was.
Pineapples are all mooks
YO there’s Joe black I owe him 10 dollars

TDS.
K cops would have come in swinging..and everyone would have had a headache
What’s a Mook?
What an unrealistic fight. Not a scratch on any of them. smh
He's a mook😊
sucks tryin to fight in a suit, i know
3:05
❤
Acting is kind of stiff to me. The music doesn't gel with the action. this is a practice run up to Goodfellas.
But more realistic
It’s much better than Goodfellas.
What’s a mook
No one got laid after showing that fight scene to their girlfriend's hahaha Jesus wimpy fight
Be honest, the acting here was awful 😖
Its always a pleasure to see the fake tough guy Deniro acting like hes the real thing.
Like any actor.
You know this is a movie right?
@@nerfgunner2327 It's funny because he acts like he's tough in real life. Even as an old rickety man. He could get knocked over with a feather.
For Raging Bull he did a lot of boxing training with La Motta and reached a fairly good standard. You sound bitter, did he turn down a script you sent him?
@@melvert33 Oh Mel. You just don't get it. Bless your heart brother.

Because you don't understand it. It's for a very niche audience and captures a way of life that most can’t comprehend.
@@Duosiciliano Way of life? You mean street life, hoodlum, gangster, etc... still not Scorcese's best.
@@Mr1gladiatore No. South Italian diaspora, the mannerisms, language etc and the archetypes. Even down to the soundtrack and struggles of Catholic guilt. It’s all very real.
@@Duosiciliano Thank you. You're right. How would anyone understand that unless they grew up in it?
Lame fight...
I've seen better fights in the school yard 😂
Goodfellas it ain’t. Playground stuff.
Lots of pushing and shoving. The entire scene is a badly executed joke. Anemic. Didn't St. Scorcese learn any thing from fellow paisano Sergio Leone?
This has to be the worst bar brawl scene I have ever seen
Rubbish film.
I wonder if the pool table fight started with Coogens Bluff[Clint E} or this movie,have to check the dates.
