Coby + Cazale ! (and Pacino... and Lumet... and Durning... and Carol Kane, Lance Henriksen + bunches of Academy Award noms!) • Scarface: th-cam.com/video/INxkPlj36qo/w-d-xo.html
yea COBY John Cazale was the Boy friend of M STreep BUT they never got married, at 42 he lost his battle with cancer in march 1978 after being in 5 great films, DEER HUNTER is one that should be seen by more Y tubers.
So is "criminal content" a channel for reactors who love criminals and cry when they get arrested after terrorizing their victims? Normally people who watch this type of content believe in justice. Maybe have Coby stick to scifi or romcoms in the future?
Based on a true story! One of the greatest movies ever made! ATTICA! ATTICA! ATTICA! The Attica Prison Riot Happened in 1971, where 43 men, 33 inmates and 10 Correctional Officers and employees, wre killed during the rioting. The riot was started due to poor treatment of prisoners in facility.
Love your emotional response to this. Always a pleasure to get your fresh reaction to an older film. The great New York director Sidney Lumet's previous film with Al Pacino WAS indeed a true-life cop film, "Serpico" (1973), about a young and very hip New York policeman who refused to be corrupted by the job and faced severe consequences from his crooked fellow cops. Great film very much of its time featuring a classic Pacino performance (and look).
If you want to know just how much of a great director Sidney lumet was thanks to his usual weeks of rehearsals (3 in dog day afternoon’s case) and preparation in which he blocks and stages the entire movie before production even begins he finished shooting in just 32 days and a couple of weeks ahead of schedule and I think maybe 60% of the movie being improvised which he was initially unsure about but after saying what the hell and seeing the results he loved it and I’ll try to mention the improvised scenes as much as I can: -when sonny pulls the rifle out of the box Al Pacino was actually struggling to get the string off the rifle which added realism to sonny’s amateur nature as a bank robber -when Sal says Wyoming as a country he wants to go to Pacino wasn’t expecting it and neither was lumet who had to cover his mouth from laughing -the Attica line was suggested to Pacino by a crew member (the Attica prison riot happened a year before the actual robbery happened which was 1972 so it was still in people’s minds) and the crowd responded exactly how a real crowd would respond if it was yelled in real life - the yelling between sonny and moretti was improvised when Sidney lumet told Charles durning who plays moretti when Pacino walks out the door blast him put him on the defence and he left imperfections when he would stutter to show how chaotic it is -the phone conversation between Leon and sonny was improvised by Al Pacino and Chris Sarandon -(not exactly an improv result but still) the hostages were played by theater actors that Pacino worked with and know especially a bank teller named Sylvia was played by an actress named Penny Allen who knew Pacino the best because she took him in when he had nothing until he was in his 20s and they were told by lumet to wear their own clothes and use as much of themselves in the characters as possible because he wanted them to come across as real people rather than just characters -when sonny looks at Sal after the phone call with Leon he actually was looking at Sidney lumet who told him that they’re gonna have to do it again and Pacino looked like he was gonna kill him -the part where sonny’s mom comes to the bank Sidney told her to stick to the script even if it didn’t make sense and Pacino was improvising to show how dysfunctional their relationship is -the opening scene wasn’t planned Sidney just went around in a station wagon with a camera and the only scene to have music -before the shot in the car after Sidney told everyone to get out as soon as Lance henriksen (the agent who fired the shot) penny allen said that she won’t do that because at this point she cares about Pacino even more after all the time they spent shooting so Sidney told the extras playing the cops to pull her out as soon as the shot is fired because she was adamant that she won’t leave him And I think that’s what I can remember th-cam.com/video/Wcs61qEcK3k/w-d-xo.html here’s a video analysis of the movie which showcases the points that I’ve made
@@clash5j Yeah Pelham isn't very well known, I only saw it at all cos I saw Dorris Roberts had a small role in it and I'd never seen her young because she's alot older in Remington Steele and Everybody Loves Raymond. It's the only film where Walter Matthau isn't doing comedy either. I think he took the role cos he was sick of only doing comedy parts and wanted a change.
This was the third bank they tried to rob. First one they dropped a shotgun and it went off, before they fled. Second one Bobby recognized a friend of his mother's, so they withdrew. Also coincidentally, the note they gave the teller read in part "This is an offer you can't refuse", from The Godfather (with Al Pacino of course), which they watched together before the bank robbery.
@@criminalcontent "Network" is the year after (famous Oscar race between that, "Rocky" and "All the President's Men"), but wow, I never noticed young Lance before. Thanks!
This is a CLASSIC Coby reaction film! Perfect. Coby, you could teach a course in "film appreciation." I loved this film before, but the depth of your appreciation of it opened my eyes to the poetry of it.
FROM WIKIPEDIA In 2001, The New York Times reported that John Wojtowicz (Sonny) was living on welfare in Brooklyn. He died of cancer on January 2, 2006, in his mother's home, aged 60...........Great movie. Wonderful reaction. Thanks for sharing.
John Cazale died prematurely in March 1978 at the age of 43, he was engaged to the then young and novice actress Maryl Streep just 28 years old at the time.
Coby, Another real life fact about this movie and cast. The actor (Charles Durning) that played Detective Moretti was a survivor of the Malmedy Massacre during the Battle of the Bulge in WWII.
This is quickly becoming the best way to see a movie. Coby is so naturally good at expressing her train of thought about what is happening and what might be likely to happen as the movies she is watching progress. It's also funny having them watch older movies. I'm 56. The 1970's were...different. It's also probably a more realistic version of a bank heist. Nobody, the cops or the robbers, seems to have a firm grasp of what they're supposed to be doing.
I absolutely love Dog Day Afternoon! There are so many long stretches of film in this movie where the actors had to memorize pages and pages of lines. The actors make it seem easy, but they make it all seem so natural and real. It really feels like you're really there, experiencing a bank robbery.
You're spoilt for choice with American 70s films, I consider that decade the peak era of Hollywood. They really let film makers do some quality work often with zero soundtrack so the drama just comes purely out of the scenes themselves, Film makers and indeed Hollywood now could learn a few things from that decade about understatement in film.
Both Carol Kane (the teller you recognized in the beginning) and Chris Sarandon (the boyfriend) were both in The Princess Bride. A couple of references made to this film in Spike Lee's Inside Man--also a bank robbery film--and I think one of the civilians in that film had an easter egg cameo in Spike's movie.
The black security guard almost getting shot by the cops was a great way to describe the social climate in NYC that made the crowd cheer when Sonny shouted "Attica!"
@@criminalcontent , ANY hostage in that kind of situation is going to be detained right away until they can make sure they're legit and not a criminal trying to sneak out among the kidnapped.
An Al Pacino/Gene Hackman movie that doesn’t get noticed enough is Scarecrow (1973). It’s a buddy/road picture/character study, which Hackman has said is his favorite performance. Also from 1973 is Hal Ashby’s The Last Detail with Jack Nicholson and Randy Quaid, who were both nominated for Oscars, as was the Screenplay.
Pacino Trivia: Penny Allen, the "lead" bank teller in the blue top, is an acting teacher and coach to many, many great actors, and was Pacino's long-time acting coach.
Now that you got this one under your belt, you need to watch Pacino's other two crime movies, SERPICO (where he plays an undercover cop,) and AND JUSTICE FOR ALL, where he plays a lawyer. Both are classics.
The version of A STAR IS BORN you saw starring Kris Kristoffersen and Barbra Streisand was actually the third version. The two previous versions were in 1954 starring Judy Garland and James Mason and the 1930s version starring Fredric March and Jeannette Gaynor.
As a very big De Niro and Pacino fan i watch a lot of reactions videos of their films lately. Maybe because I showed my girlfriend nearly every film of them and I got nobody with whom i can discover my fav films anymore 🙈. And I must say your reactions to these films are very delightful and beautiful because you immediately understand these movies, the characters and the inner meanings of these films. Such a joy to watch. I hope to see much more reactions to some hidden gems of these legendary actors. If you didn't see them already I would recommend to you these films: De Niro: Awakenings, Midnight run, Everybodys fine, Seepers, City by the night, Angel heart, This boys life, Falling in love, Stanley and iris and The Score. Pacino: Insomnia, Serpico, Glengarry Glen Ross, The Insider, Donnie Brasco, Scarecrow, And Justice for all, the panic in the needle Park... I guarantee that you will enjoy all or them. 😊 All the best for you! And thanks for your videos.
Just found your reactions today... Watched 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' Brilliant reaction. Now 'Dog Day Afternoon'!!!!🤘 The trifecta would be 'Fort Apache the Bronx' Love your insight. Thank You for making these classics exciting again.
What a great film. I only came across this recently myself. Young Pacino (and De Nero for that matter) are a different beast. His energy leaps off the screen.
@@criminalcontent really like all of his nonscripted "mannerisms" like in "The Deer Hunter". They are gathering for a photo and he checks his fly. I bet that was not in the script but it's a real life action.
Coby, just imagine how things were when we had movies such as this, Deer Hunter, Apocalypse Now, and Woody Allen's classics Annie Hall, Bananas, and Sleeper, plus a whole lot of other classic films!
As always, fabulous reaction! Two movies I never see reacted to, are two great ones: At Close Range (Christopher Walken and Sean Penn), and I am Sam (Sean Penn and Michelle Pfiffer)
The opening song was only a placeholder for editor Dede Allen. Director Sidney Lumet liked it so much he kept it. There is not one second of music otherwise in the entire film.
"Amoreena" gets a little mockery for the "and when it rains, the rain comes down" lyric, but I think it's one of the Bernie Taupin/Elton John classics of this period, doing such a great job of creating a sense of place. Right up there with 'Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters".
One actor you may not quite recognize is the guy playing Agent Sheldon. That's James Broderick, the father of Matthew. They never got a chance to act together, because James died of cancer in 1982, just before Matthew made his film debut. Lumet (and the casting director) do such a great job of going from Charles Durning (an *extremely* expressive actor) as Detective Moretti to Broderick being a complete Sphinx as Sheldon. It's almost literally as different as night and day, given that Sheldon assumes command after the sun goes down.
This was my favorite film when it came out. I was still in high school. I think I looked up a photo of the actual bank robber. he kind of looked like Al Pacino.
Its funny (ha ha) that an actress is told, a picture is a true story and yet she questions, “is it a true story?” Cobz, never stop being u, its fun to watch.
I love the gritty and grainy movies of the 1970s set in New York. Movies like The French Connection, Marathon Man and of course Dog Day Afternoon. *"ATICA! ATICA! ATICA! ATICA!"*
Nice choice, I only saw this film a year or so ago myself. The heist gone wrong genre certainly became a category. Theres another starring Sean Connery from 1971 about a bungled heist called The Anderson Tapes. Ive also seen a Star is Born but prepare to cry if youre going to watch the Judy Garland version its not a happy ending. Her version isnt the original though either, theres been several including a modern remake.
I always enjoy your movie reactions. John Cazale appeared in 5 films: The Godfather (1972), The Conversation (1974) The Godfather Part II (1974) Dog Day Afternoon (1975) The Deer Hunter (1978) Such classics. I hope the ones you haven’t seen yet are on your list.
Sidney Lumet not only knocked it out of the park with this film, but also "Network" just a year later... The media were part of the chaos in DDA, but they would become the primary focus of "Network." A number of critics have described Lumet's next movie as being ahead of its time, foreseeing in some ways the advent of the 24-hour news cycle (which would begin with CNN a few years later), and even in some ways what we've seen emerge in more recent times with the social media world. "Network" may not portray overt criminality. But it definitely portrays the sleazy elements of media. Anything for ratings and revenues...
trust us, we have debated and built out the brand enough to know that network will be here (and very soon) not many will watch it unfortunately… but by by hell or high water it will arrive here - it’s so ahead of it’s time it’s scary
The Cop drama THAT YOU'RE THINKING OF WITH AL Pacino IS "Serpico" This was a time when the cops weren't very popular, they're very associated with the tough crackdown on protesters and the shooting of a student at Kent State. Attica was a prison riot where the guards shot protesting prisoners. There were some very serious movies in the 70s.
The vastly underrated John Cazale only ever made 5 movies. Every one of them was nominated for Best Picture Oscar. DogDay Afternoon The Godfather The Godfather 2 The Deerhunter The Conversation
The '70s & '80s was a golden era for American films. I'm a big fan of Sidney Lumet. He did another one with Pacino 2 years earlier called 'Serpico', also a true story about police corruption. Well worth watching IMO..
@@criminalcontent jack is another one of those actors, who never does a bad part. Heaven can wait, Brian's Song, and the funniest movie of all time, Used Cars!!!
Sonny I mean John only served 5 years but violated parole a couple of times. He died of cancer in 2006. His "wife", Elizabeth Eden visited him once a month in prison but married someone else dying of AIDS. Oh and he left his first wife 2 years before his transgender one.
40:42 Edwin Malave (born August 4, 1950, New York City), better known as Chu Chu Malave, is a former professional boxer and an actor. [Maria's boyfriend]
Such a great commentary, so happy Coby got to cross this off her list. I couldn't imagine a more fundamental movie for a channel called "Criminal Content"!!!! This was one of the first movies I thought of when I discovered your channel. That......and "Bonnie And Clyde!" That one is inevitable, and I can't wait! No one's done that one yet (inexplicably!).
@@criminalcontent Your cuts are so short its hard to find him. He's the final limo driver. Sonny picks him to be the driver at about 35:54 in your video. In Aliens he plays the andr ... errr artificial person. In Terminator he plays a cop in the police station.
@@acecombatter6620 ok will look him up --as a side, the cuts are that way on WB highlights - if you watch us in the future (or really any reaction channel) if you see it's a warner bros film... then it's probably cut to shreds because they are very antagonistic to the fair use culture, for good or for bad
I watched a video about the real incident. I love how the movie recreated so many of the real images and real footage. Like John Wojtowicz (the name of the real bank robber) out front of the bank in a white t-shirt yelling at the cops.
Coby + Cazale ! (and Pacino... and Lumet... and Durning... and Carol Kane, Lance Henriksen + bunches of Academy Award noms!)

Pacino lost to Nicholson.
Now you MUST watch _Munich_ ~ Spielberg masterpiece!
So is "criminal content" a channel for reactors who love criminals and cry when they get arrested after terrorizing their victims? Normally people who watch this type of content believe in justice. Maybe have Coby stick to scifi or romcoms in the future?
John Cazale (RIP) was only in Five movies--but every single one was a masterpiece and all were nominated for Best Picture!!!
Yes a great actor who appeared in five classic movies.
Yeah everyone says that, but no one ever thinks in John Cazale in The Conversation. Probably one of, if not the best Coppola's film.
@@TheLaFleur The Conversation is tremendous. Criminally neglected in internet movie circles.
A great actor John Cazale. RIP.
@@TheLaFleurAn all-time great
The head teller is played by an old friend of Pacino's who took him in when he was a struggling homeless actor.
Wasn't she also one of the tellers in The Inside Man?
I love the Charles Durning performance. He deserves big credit for this and most everything else he did that I've seen, he was always excellent.
Pacino's "And Justice for All" is a trip. I saw it in the theater and was blown away. Pacino's performance is classic.
and jack warden is insane !
Based on a true story!
One of the greatest movies ever made!
ATTICA!
ATTICA!
ATTICA!
The Attica Prison Riot Happened in 1971, where 43 men, 33 inmates and 10 Correctional Officers and employees, wre killed during the rioting.
The riot was started due to poor treatment of prisoners in facility.
Too bad the real story is nothing like it... around 30% is true. According to the real bank robber it was based on, John Wojtowicz
“One of the greatest movies ever made!” 👏🏻🤣
Come on!
In case anyone remembers why John Travolta said Attica in Saturday Night Fever.
Lol, Al was peeping out from beside her chair the whole time! I couldn't unsee him.
he’s lurkin lol
I can't believe more people in the comments weren't creeped out by that. 🤣
Serpico is the movie where Pacino plays a New York cop. The movie was released just before The Godfather II was released. (1973)
Also based on a true story
hope she reacts to Serpico now too
my favorite of Lumet's and Pacino's
Also Cruising (1982) and Sea of Love (1987), but those are…different.
What's really crazy is the real banker robber looks exactly like Al Pacino.
Great reaction
Love your emotional response to this. Always a pleasure to get your fresh reaction to an older film. The great New York director Sidney Lumet's previous film with Al Pacino WAS indeed a true-life cop film, "Serpico" (1973), about a young and very hip New York policeman who refused to be corrupted by the job and faced severe consequences from his crooked fellow cops. Great film very much of its time featuring a classic Pacino performance (and look).
If you want to know just how much of a great director Sidney lumet was thanks to his usual weeks of rehearsals (3 in dog day afternoon’s case) and preparation in which he blocks and stages the entire movie before production even begins he finished shooting in just 32 days and a couple of weeks ahead of schedule and I think maybe 60% of the movie being improvised which he was initially unsure about but after saying what the hell and seeing the results he loved it and I’ll try to mention the improvised scenes as much as I can:
-when sonny pulls the rifle out of the box Al Pacino was actually struggling to get the string off the rifle which added realism to sonny’s amateur nature as a bank robber
-when Sal says Wyoming as a country he wants to go to Pacino wasn’t expecting it and neither was lumet who had to cover his mouth from laughing
-the Attica line was suggested to Pacino by a crew member (the Attica prison riot happened a year before the actual robbery happened which was 1972 so it was still in people’s minds) and the crowd responded exactly how a real crowd would respond if it was yelled in real life
- the yelling between sonny and moretti was improvised when Sidney lumet told Charles durning who plays moretti when Pacino walks out the door blast him put him on the defence and he left imperfections when he would stutter to show how chaotic it is
-the phone conversation between Leon and sonny was improvised by Al Pacino and Chris Sarandon
-(not exactly an improv result but still) the hostages were played by theater actors that Pacino worked with and know especially a bank teller named Sylvia was played by an actress named Penny Allen who knew Pacino the best because she took him in when he had nothing until he was in his 20s and they were told by lumet to wear their own clothes and use as much of themselves in the characters as possible because he wanted them to come across as real people rather than just characters
-when sonny looks at Sal after the phone call with Leon he actually was looking at Sidney lumet who told him that they’re gonna have to do it again and Pacino looked like he was gonna kill him
-the part where sonny’s mom comes to the bank Sidney told her to stick to the script even if it didn’t make sense and Pacino was improvising to show how dysfunctional their relationship is
-the opening scene wasn’t planned Sidney just went around in a station wagon with a camera and the only scene to have music
-before the shot in the car after Sidney told everyone to get out as soon as Lance henriksen (the agent who fired the shot) penny allen said that she won’t do that because at this point she cares about Pacino even more after all the time they spent shooting so Sidney told the extras playing the cops to pull her out as soon as the shot is fired because she was adamant that she won’t leave him
And I think that’s what I can remember
th-cam.com/video/Wcs61qEcK3k/w-d-xo.html here’s a video analysis of the movie which showcases the points that I’ve made
In 1972 I was 14 and I remember this like it was yesterday . I'm also a New Yorker. This was wild . Al and John Cazale are FANTASTIC!
French Connection and The taking of pelham 123 from 1971 and 1974 are two more great New York City 1970s crime drama films don't miss them!
The French Connection is fantastic and I can't figure why more reactors don't do it. So many great 60's and 70's movies that get overlooked.
No one ever reacts to The Taking of Pelham 123. If they do, it's the remake. The OG is the quintessential NYC film
@@clash5j two words: Robert Shaw!
@@clash5j Yeah Pelham isn't very well known, I only saw it at all cos I saw Dorris Roberts had a small role in it and I'd never seen her young because she's alot older in Remington Steele and Everybody Loves Raymond.

"Amoreena" gets a little mockery for the "and when it rains, the rain comes down" lyric, but I think it's one of the Bernie Taupin/Elton John classics of this period, doing such a great job of creating a sense of place. Right up there with 'Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters".
One actor you may not quite recognize is the guy playing Agent Sheldon. That's James Broderick, the father of Matthew. They never got a chance to act together, because James died of cancer in 1982, just before Matthew made his film debut.
Lumet (and the casting director) do such a great job of going from Charles Durning (an *extremely* expressive actor) as Detective Moretti to Broderick being a complete Sphinx as Sheldon. It's almost literally as different as night and day, given that Sheldon assumes command after the sun goes down.
This was my favorite film when it came out. I was still in high school. I think I looked up a photo of the actual bank robber. he kind of looked like Al Pacino.
Hi Coby hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤
Coby is wonderful in every one of her reactions. Every now and then she sounds like Marisa Tomei in My Cousin Vinny. 😎
If you haven't seen it, check out Serpico movie with Al Pacino.
Great film made during probably the greatest era/decade of filmmaking.
agreed !
Its funny (ha ha) that an actress is told, a picture is a true story and yet she questions, “is it a true story?”
Cobz, never stop being u, its fun to watch.
21:06 funny enough "Sonny" was Pacino's childhood nickname growing up too
John Cazale, Carol Kane, Charles Durning. Boss also the boss in the classic, Carwash!
One of the best 1970s crime movies is original TAKING OF PELHAM ONE TWO THREE.
Sonny: “Who’s Jenny?”
Jenny: “I’m Jenny.”
Sonny: “The sqwerr-vel.” 🐿️
His enunciation of "squirrel" is a specific dialogue-based highlight for me haha
it’s hysterical
2 of my fave 70s Al movies are And Justice for all and Serpico!
I love the gritty and grainy movies of the 1970s set in New York. Movies like The French Connection, Marathon Man and of course Dog Day Afternoon. *"ATICA! ATICA! ATICA! ATICA!"*
"Prince of the City" from director Sidney Lumet is another great New York City movie that came out in 1981.
yes a forgotten Lumet film with great performance by treat Williams.
@@shasta810 Treat (RIP) should have earned an Oscar nomination for "Prince".
Nice choice, I only saw this film a year or so ago myself. The heist gone wrong genre certainly became a category. Theres another starring Sean Connery from 1971 about a bungled heist called The Anderson Tapes. Ive also seen a Star is Born but prepare to cry if youre going to watch the Judy Garland version its not a happy ending. Her version isnt the original though either, theres been several including a modern remake.
August 22. That’s my mother’s birthday. She’s 80 now. Back then, she would have been in her early 30’s.
The "Attica" chant was an improvisation suggested to Al Pacino by an assistant director just before the scene started.
"Attica".
I always enjoy your movie reactions. John Cazale appeared in 5 films:
The Godfather (1972),
The Conversation (1974)
The Godfather Part II (1974)
Dog Day Afternoon (1975)
The Deer Hunter (1978)
Such classics. I hope the ones you haven’t seen yet are on your list.
greatest resume !
The plain clothed cop was brilliant in "Tough Guys", trying to finally put away two "old lags", played by Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas!
Great movie - great reaction! I'd like to recommend No Country for Old Men (8 noms, 4 awards, best picture - 2008).
Sidney Lumet not only knocked it out of the park with this film, but also "Network" just a year later...
The media were part of the chaos in DDA, but they would become the primary focus of "Network." A number of critics have described Lumet's next movie as being ahead of its time, foreseeing in some ways the advent of the 24-hour news cycle (which would begin with CNN a few years later), and even in some ways what we've seen emerge in more recent times with the social media world.
"Network" may not portray overt criminality. But it definitely portrays the sleazy elements of media.
Anything for ratings and revenues...
trust us, we have debated and built out the brand enough to know that network will be here (and very soon) not many will watch it unfortunately… but by by hell or high water it will arrive here - it’s so ahead of it’s time it’s scary
That’s an Elton John song at the beginning.
Great movie. Charles Durning is really good also.
The Cop drama THAT YOU'RE THINKING OF WITH AL Pacino IS "Serpico" This was a time when the cops weren't very popular, they're very associated with the tough crackdown on protesters and the shooting of a student at Kent State. Attica was a prison riot where the guards shot protesting prisoners. There were some very serious movies in the 70s.
The Original A Star Is Born was made in 1937 and has been remade three different times.
That was about an actress. Then there are versions from 1954, 1976 and 2018 about singers. Maybe you should watch them all Coby.
I'm gonna put a ring on that finger, Coby!
❤❤❤Your empathy is fascinating.
John Cazale died of cancer because he was a chain smoker . He was 42 .
John Cazale is from Revere, Ma and went to the prom with my buddy's sister many moons ago... 😊
wow !!
The "Limo" is an Airporter Limousine, state of the art in airport transportation at the time.
Coby and Cash!
The vastly underrated John Cazale only ever made 5 movies. Every one of them was nominated for Best Picture Oscar.
DogDay Afternoon
The Godfather
The Godfather 2
The Deerhunter
The Conversation
The '70s & '80s was a golden era for American films. I'm a big fan of Sidney Lumet. He did another one with Pacino 2 years earlier called 'Serpico', also a true story about police corruption. Well worth watching IMO..
U gotta do, And Justice for All! As surreal a movie as it gets!
great one, super wacky but jack warden is incredible to watch
@@criminalcontent jack is another one of those actors, who never does a bad part. Heaven can wait, Brian's Song, and the funniest movie of all time, Used Cars!!!
Sonny I mean John only served 5 years but violated parole a couple of times. He died of cancer in 2006. His "wife", Elizabeth Eden visited him once a month in prison but married someone else dying of AIDS. Oh and he left his first wife 2 years before his transgender one.
I was at work a few blocks from the bank and it was like a circus with traffic backed up with police cars for blocks.
40:42 Edwin Malave (born August 4, 1950, New York City), better known as Chu Chu Malave, is a former professional boxer and an actor. [Maria's boyfriend]
IIRC, the ONLY soundtrack music throughout the whole film is the song that plays on the robbers' car radio during the opening credits.
Such a great commentary, so happy Coby got to cross this off her list. I couldn't imagine a more fundamental movie for a channel called "Criminal Content"!!!! This was one of the first movies I thought of when I discovered your channel. That......and "Bonnie And Clyde!" That one is inevitable, and I can't wait! No one's done that one yet (inexplicably!).
many thanks ! yes that’s on the docket ! actually haven’t asked coby if she’s seen that yet now realizing
@@criminalcontent No worries, all in good time!
Attica ❤❤❤
Coby you’re the coolest reactor! 🙂💯
One actor in this movie was later in Aliens and The Terminator. Can you find him?
lance ?
@@criminalcontent I didn't catch the characters name.
@@criminalcontent Your cuts are so short its hard to find him. He's the final limo driver. Sonny picks him to be the driver at about 35:54 in your video. In Aliens he plays the andr ... errr artificial person. In Terminator he plays a cop in the police station.
@@acecombatter6620 ok will look him up --as a side, the cuts are that way on WB highlights - if you watch us in the future (or really any reaction channel) if you see it's a warner bros film... then it's probably cut to shreds because they are very antagonistic to the fair use culture, for good or for bad
Definitely recommend Inside Man directed by Spike Lee from 2006 which feels like something of a companion piece to DDA.
yes !
John Cazale last movie is The Dear Hunter with Robert De Niro and Christopher Walken.
Lance Henriksen (Terminator, Aliens) was the cop that shot Sal.
sure was !
I watched a video about the real incident. I love how the movie recreated so many of the real images and real footage. Like John Wojtowicz (the name of the real bank robber) out front of the bank in a white t-shirt yelling at the cops.
