The little ones clock turned 8pm as they walked back into her room. 😂
Should react to "Blow Out" from 1981, it's widely regarded by critics to be Brian De Palma's greatest film and Tarantino says it's one of the greatest films ever made.
In response to Mr Movies about "is Al Pacino Cuban at all?"
AL Pacino is Italian American
Why shouldn't you get high on your own supply? Wouldn't it be cheaper than buying it from someone else?
I was just about to ask what time it was lol. Love this movie so much, great reaction
@@ElmStReactions I thought they were going to claim that it wasn't bedtime because the sun hadn't set yet. My 5 year will be saying that every night until September. Just like last year.
"This is how it ends?"
That's how that story always ends.
All that violence and drug dealing is like that, "easy come easy go". He escalated from a refugee to a drug lord rapidly in years, and lose everything in a couple of bad moves like his predecessors.
Or in jail for a thousand years.
not strictly true in all real cases. it's mostly these anti hero movies
@rmir0 that's how most drug dealers end up dead or in jail.
Too bad it didnt end like that for stalin. Or Mao. And its not likely to end like that for Trump, Kissinger, Kim Jong Un, Xi or Putin. Drug cartels have more payback from their actions than politicians.... who are killing/hurting way more people than drug lords ever did.
"Come look at my clock!" = "Say Hello to my little friend!"
19:17 Yes it’s a Porsche 928.
Excellent React!
The Royal Rumble shirt goes hard.
ok... I've waited a long time to find this out... What is the snack Mrs. Movies is eating around 14:50. it must be good cause she has it a lot!!! !!! MAKE IT A SPONSOR!!!!!
Next,the classic "Serpico" or "Carlito"s Way"!!!
Ah yes, the classic film where at least a few Italians portrayed Cuban people (I think Steven Bauer/Manny is the only legit Cuban of the cast... who, funnily enough, would go on to be Don Eladio, the Mexican mob boss from Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul - And that also reminds me, the bloke who portrayed Bolivian Alberto the Shadow, Mark Margolis, is actually Jewish-American, and he also portrayed Hector Salamanca, another Mexican character).
Slight joking aside, though, I suppose Tony and Gina's dad could've been Italian-American, but either way, I'll always have a soft spot for this flick, as even though I wasn't around in 1983 (I was born in 1996), me dad had this on DVD, and as a teenage boy, I used to watch it on Friday/Saturday nights.
Oh, and the guys who make the GTA games (I think it was them, anyway) made a video game for the PS2, that begins with the final shootout of the film. Also, the girl at 9:49 went missing right after shooting that scene. I think she was murdered by her boyfriend.
You are right about the missing woman. I think her back story was that she was abducted then murdered.
@@Smenkhaare That's true. I remember seeing her case on a rerun of an Unsolved Mysteries episode.
The TV cut is hilarious, a great example is “How’d you get that scar tough guy, eating pineapple?”😂😂
"This town is like a great big chicken.. waiting to be plucked"
@@user-dz6fy6qv2l 🤣🤣 I forgot that one
The tv cut also has other scenes with him watching James Cagney movies.
Haha yeah. I remember that and I remember laughing my ass off... "Now, how am I gonna get a scar like that eating pineapple, main?"
I thought it was sushi?
No, Al Pacino is born in New York and is an Italian-American. He plays a Cuban, Pacino is a method actor. Steven Bauer (Manny) is Cuban and he even helped Pacino with not only the Cuban accent, but also the slang words.
And F. Murray Abraham is Ambiguous-American and plays Everything.
That Pelican line comes from his dialect coach because he said that pelican was the hardest word to say with a Spanish accent (or something like that).
And then Andy Garcia plays Italian despite being Cuban in Godfather 3 lol
@@johnlittle3430 his sister is not cuban either i think she is Italian too
Manny was good in Breaking Bad too. As was Tony's mom in Better Call Saul.....
Smartest character was Elvira, she left before the massacre.
Fact's
Smartest is Tony's mom, she is not affected by all of this. Except losing a son and daughter.
The crazy thing about this movie is it's not an exaggeration: Miami in the '80s was totally berserk, and a lot of the highrises and skyscrapers in the city today were built by that kind of people and that money. Most of the luxury car dealerships too.
Yep. There was SO MUCH cash coming in for drugs they couldn't even STORE it. They would buy houses and just literally fill them up with bricks of cash. They couldn't SPEND it fast enough, invest it fast enough, much less actually launder it fast enough.
I remember reading that 2/3 of Miami's infrastructure in the 80s was built by drug dealers trying to launder their money. They had to hide it somehow.
There also were murders in the streets in broad daylight as shown in the movie. The violent crime rate went up like 7000% percent from 1979-1983.
@@ryanjacobson2508The Cocaine Cowboys documentary series focuses on the Miami drug trade and the street wars that came from it. It not only influenced Scarface 83, but the cop drama "Miami Vice".
@@ryanjacobson2508 that's because of President Carters stupid policy and decision when he allowed thousands of Cuban refugees to come over into Miami and Castro emptied his prisons and insane asylums amd sent over violent criminals instead of political prisoners like Carter thought he was going to. Was a stupid decision on Carter's part.
This is an absolute classic. Please watch Blow starring Johnny Depp and Ray Liotta.
yepp, good advice
“Say Hello to my little friend” one of the most iconic lines ever and this movie is some of Al Pacino’s best work.
that and "i made him an offer he couldn't refuse"
Pauly's Shore's "Whaaat's up, Buuuddy" in Son-in-Law has both of those beat.
@@bottlerocket3218 Pauly Shore was great in Goodfellas. Or was that Paul Sorvino? It's so easy to get the 2 confused with each other.
Ehh this is definitely low on the pacino list for me. When u really think about his films. I can probably think of at least 8 better performances.
That and " Go Ahead And Make My Day"!😂👍
Al wearing her hat was unscripted and his idea. Worked perfect...Michelle laughed as he expected and they kept rolling...
Still a masterpiece after 40 years
“Pussy’s not gonna do that to your face”,
“Depends on the pussy”
Had me laughing and crying at the same time, cause it’s so true lmfao.
You guys should now be ready to watch Carlito's Way. Another great Al Pachino classic.
Yes! and Donnie Brasco!
Wait where was Benny Blanco from again?
@@shawnboyce1663
Benny Blanco from the Bronx?
@@jackgrimaldi8685 wait where was Benny Blanco from again? 🤣
Dog Day Afternoon is probably the best Al Pacino Stand up Guys is great, too. I like the one where he plays with Robin Williams.
Not only that, South Park did a parody episode of Scarface, but with KFC instead of Coke lol, Cartman was Tony and it was hilarious.
- “GOTTI” - (1996) The one starring Armand Assante
- “A Bronx Tale” - (1993)
- “Donnie BRASCO” - (1997)
Carlitos way should be next
Once Upon A Time In America is SEVERELY underrated.
Gotti is a bit crap, the other two are good though
@@BaronVonGreenback1882 gotti 1996 is one of the best mafia movies
Gotti (1996) was perfect. The Travolta one does not exist.
I loved this reaction. There’s a special edition of the movie that comes with the “Scarface Scoreboard” in the top corners of the screen that tallies both the number of bullets fired & the number of f-bombs dropped. Good stuff.
Classic! Now do “Donnie Brasco” and “A Bronx Tale” 🤌😎😂🇺🇸
Don't forget Casino.
@@joemckim1183 They've done Casino.
I've requested Donnie Brasco so many times from so many reactors, they're all sleeping on that 90s classic.
@@michaeljames6817 I know!! All the other Mob movies are all over and barely any do Donnie Brasco!! FUHGEDDABOUDIT 🤌😂
And definitely BLOW also with Jonny Deep 🤧
Your kids walking in during Scarface instantly transported me to 1983 where I did the same thing to my parents who were watching it with friends. I was 7. I sneaked behind the couch and saw the entire ending. My eyes were giant saucers lol.
i was 7 in 1983 and saw it on video, thhe scene wass directed by speilberg whho was friend of depalma
haha that be so lovely
You guys absolutely must give the scarface: the world is yours game a try. It's a "what if..." with Al Pacino personally getting involved in finding a good VA for Tony, iirc
This game was incredible tbh I wish that Xbox could somehow release it through backwards compatibility smh
The woman in the blue bikini that slapped Manny went missing in real life. Right after the movie was complete. She has not been found yet.
Wow really never knew that.
"First you get the money, then you get the power. Then, you do the tongue thing."
-Tony Montana
The best scene is the confrontation after the failed attempt on Tony at The Babylon. The 3 o'clock phone call thing is genius.
You pronounced it right the first time 'Dregs'.And the only Cuban in the movie was Steven Bauer who played Manny! 🙄😉
To expand on this, the full phrase is “dregs of society,” as in people who are mostly considered undesirable in polite society. “Dredge” is when you are combing or pulling through something, like when a lake is dredged to look for a dead body; it’s also a noun/verb use for when you frying a cutlet (for instance). Doing the steps of eggs, flour, eggs, bread crumbs (don’t quote me on particulars); that’s also called dredging!
@@Divamarja_CA You are both correct. I was cringing at their misinterpretation and malapropisms. I thought I was watching Archie Bunker in All in the Family with his famous malapropisms.
Don't be embarrassed for not having seen this before. Be embarrassed for thinking that dregs and dredges were the same word.
Manny was my favourite character too. Steve Bauer who plays him also played a drug lord in Breaking Bad. The guy who Tony shot in the head in the car is also very famous in the BB universe (Salamanca, rings a bell? 😂)
I knew I recognized the face😂 RIP Mark man
Alberto the killer is the Landlord from ACE Ventura, same actor, just older.....I love this movie.
And Salamanca from Breaking Bad
Heat (1995) - Pacino and DeNiro's first shared scene, loaded cast, great tension, really funny in places.
*shared , won $500 when person didn't believe me they were both in God Father 2
“She’s got a GREAT 🍑!!” 🙌🏼 lol
@@Chippa33 AND YOU GOT YOUR HEAD ALL THE WAY UP IT!
Yes best heist movie EVER MASTERCLASS
If you liked Steven Bauer as Manny in Scarface, watch him in The Beast (of War) as Khan Taj. Amazing range and talent this guy has (and The Beast is a top tier war movie as well).
It's funny how actors from The Godfather ended up on Sopranos and actors from this movie ended up on Breaking Bad.
Hector Salamanca being just as shady in his younger days
Carlito's Way is also a really good Pacino movie
You think you like me? You ain’t like me mf😎
You see Penelope Anne Miller naked in that one.
And Scent of a Woman.
Much better than Scarface IMO. A lot more depth. Also better directed and a great chase sequence.
The Mrs. ain't that funny
She had of been joking right? Cause man...😅
You actually COULD walk into a bank with that much cash at the time. The rules have changed since.
You still can. But it's a security issue and raises some red flags.
Ps i work at a bank
@@animock3051 Sincere question: How would that work? They set up an account and store it in the bank vault, or...?
@@John-ir4id by law they have to report it to the FBI if is of 10k
@@TonyMontana-mv9ezI knew that part. What I'm asking is, if I walked into a bank with a bunch of money in duffle bags, did all the paperwork, etc. ...would they just take that money and store it or... what?
@@John-ir4id no. They wouldnt take it then and would instead arrange for an appointment in order to immediately remove money from their own vaults in waiting trucks. This would be a big movement of money at once and it would be done with planning and security to protect the bank and you. If they were somehow forced to take it, it would be an emergency call to arrange trucks to pick it up and store it at their facilities. Companies like Brinks and Loomis.
This movie is an absolute classic 💯
The crowd wooing your daughters entrance is never not hilarious lol
The actress who plays Tony's mom also played Tuco Salamancas grandma in better call saul. Alberto the hit man is Mark Margolis who played Hector Salamanca in BB & BCS
And of course, Manny in this is Steven Bauer who played Don Eladio in both series too.
@@RussellCHall how the heck did I miss that. Psh...
@@jbravo1070 haha don't feel bad I watched breaking bad fairly recently and thought of him as from Ray Donovan (of all things) when I saw him as Don Eladio, despite watching Scarface my whole life, and only realized it later in BCS.
@@RussellCHall that's what I was thinking, Ray Donovan.
I watched this with my father on BetaMAX when I was 16, and that chainsaw scene scarred me for many years. Just the realization that stuff like that could and likely happened in the real world was more disturbing to me than anything else I saw in the movie or most other movies. We loved the movie though, and I have watched it several times since. It never really felt like as long of a movie as it actually is, because you just lose yourself in it.
For a film that clocks off at nearly three hours, it manages not to plod along or overstay its welcome.
As a patriarch of Sosa family living in Detroit born in Chicago I approve of this movie 💙💙💙
I had a friend who in the US Army during the time of the Mariela people in Miami. Told be me they rioted in that camp and he got his helmet split open. Crazy times.
"Hey man, you got a job". That part tickles me so much, LOL.
Frank is played by Robert Loggia, who also portrayed Feech La Manna in the Sopranos!
"In my day..."
It also has a couple of familiar faces from Breaking Bad in it.
Did they already do "Carlitos Way"?
They haven’t… Remember me? Benny Blanco from The Bronx? 🤌😎
The guy who played frank was Feech in the sopranos
yeah and manolo played don eladio in breaking bad and sosa's bodyguard played tio salamanca in breaking bad
and the lady who plays Tony’s mother played Tuco Salamanca’s grandmother in Better Call Saul Season 1
@@vegasbeersales I doubt that’s true
@@christopheclaus8505 Salamanca & also Ace Ventura’s landlord 😂
@@mereassassinates550 yep it's true. Tuco's abolita(grandma)
Did you recognize Alberto the explosions guy? He was in Breaking Bad, the uncle in the wheelchair with the bell.
He's also in 'Oz' the HBO series. Acts the leader of the Italian gang.
Yes... he has the face and acting skills for all of those parts. "Did you just stick me Adebesi?"
@@Smenkhaare 'Did you just *pinch me' I think he said. A very dark scheme by Adebesi anyway.
53:12: Wow, the dude really knows his firearms.
Tony uses a full auto-converted M16 rifle with an M203 grenade launcher attached during the final battle. In one of the film's more memorable moments, Tony yells out "Say hello to my little friend!" and blows a door down with a 40mm grenade, killing several of Sosa's men. Also of note is that he has two magazines taped together 'jungle style'. After expending his first two magazines, he inserts a single 30-round magazine before the end.
The grenade launcher used is a 39mm smooth bore "Fake M203" used to imitate the M203 in the 1980s before the advent of the Cobray CM203 Flare Launcher, and is also used in films such as Predator (1987) and Heartbreak Ridge (1986). The Fake M203 grenade launcher was custom-made for use on the film and the firing pin has been removed to prevent the use of live rounds. The launcher was fabricated because the property master was unable to locate any live-firing grenade launchers for production. He had this M203 grenade launcher hand-crafted (not moulded) by the studio prop department. The launcher was created with an extra large trigger guard and wider ribbing on the barrels than are found on the traditional M203 design.
Originally an M16A1 was used with the grenade launcher and the full auto-converted Colt AR-15 Sporter-1* was substituted after cinematographer John Alonzo determined that the AR-15’s firing sequence could be timed to synchronize with the Arriflex cameras, which would result in elongating the duration of muzzle flashes seen on film.
Fun fact: Not only is the launcher used in this movie the same type used in Predator, but the particular launcher used in Scarface is the exact same launcher used in Predator: live.staticflickr.com/3716/11992678215_a75fc6ec02_b.jpg
*www.imfdb.org/images/1/12/Colt_AR-15_Model_SP1.jpg
Very informative. Thanks!
And also the a personal favorite of mine sense I first saw Arnie use it in Predator, good times.
@@donovanbradford8231 Yep. It’s a shame that in Predator (from most reactors), all of the attention was focused on the handheld Minigun, known as Old Painless. This movie really made that particular gun/grenade launcher popular for years.
“Don’t get high on your own supply” makes me think of “Serve the public trust. Protect the innocent. Uphold the law.”
Shame you don't have the VHS copy so you could experience the joy of swapping out the cassette for part two.
So right! That was my experience but it took me two nights to watch the whole thing. 😂
You have to watch Carlitos Way!!!! I think its way much more fun and one of Pacino's best performances!!!
Mastrantonio in this movie…Lordy!
"So say goodnight to the bad guy." Fav line, fav scene. Another great collaboration between De Palma and Pacino is "Carlito's Way" (1993).
There is hardly ever a moment that Scarface isn't being played anywhere in the world at any given time. Few movies will ever achieve that honor. Which is strange because of the fact that it didn't do well initially in theaters. But over the years it has reached cult classic status. My favorite quote is "You callin' me a liar". Favorite character is of course Tony Montana. I really like his insane ambition. But Tony learned the hard way. Quoting the Bible Matthew 16:26 "What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?" Favorite scene is when the assassin kills Tony and looks down at him in almost regret. Cause he is sure that Tony will probably be the last guy he killed that had the balls to go out in a blaze of glory.
Masterpiece
There is a PS2 GTA-clone that serves as a sequel with an alternate ending to this movie in which Tony survives the mansion shoot-out, that serves as the games tutorial. Then you have to take back pieces of Tony's criminal empire in Miami and at the end take vengeance on Sosa. It was a pretty good game, especially for the sort of Grand Theft Auto open-world style games that followed GTA 3's release.
It came out later than that didn't it gta 3 was in 2001
LET THE POOR CHILD WATCH TWO MOVIES...IT WASN'T EVEN BEDTIME YET!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cunnilingus = even legal in Google-world?
Just wanted to let u guys know there is a movie where the girl has teeth down there, seriously u guys might get a laff the movie called Teeth
22:20 You're right, it was the landlord from Ace Ventura, but he also plays Hector Salamanca in Breaking Bad.
Tony's mom is Abuelita from Better Call Saul isn't she?
Gotti circa 1996 is a great watch.
The actor who played Sosa was actually into dudes in real life. He passed away in the 80s
Sadly died of AID’s. He was such a great actor he also played Jenner in the Secret of Nimh
dredge is a thing that scoops up dirt...dregs is the stuff at the bottom of a barrel
I agree Manny was the best character. My favorite line is when he was telling Manny that first you get the money, then you get the power... And my favorite scene is hard to pick, but I have always liked the scene when he kills Frank. Just how smart he was to have the phone call, so he could be sure that Frank was the one that tried to kill him.
Nah 10% to security is money well spent in this line of work, especially at his position and with so much competition around, just as Tony said "it makes me sleep good at night".
I remember playing scarface the game. This movie is classic.
That's a great game if you just completely ignore how this movie ends.
I loved the game, wish they’d remake it. There was supposed to be a second one that came out, it looked fun but they never finished it
@@E1evenDegrees Modders have made their own remaster look up the scarface the world is yours remastered project
@@heyhocodyo97 Nice will check it out. I had the original game and lost it in the shuffle, way back in 2008.
Finally! This is a really cool movie with a lot of good actors that I'm sure you've seen in other shows like Breaking Bad & Better Call Saul like Manolo being Don Eladio (the mexican drug lord) and the dude who Tony kills in the car being Hector Salamanca
And Tony's mom is Tuco's grandma in BCS.
@@briankirchhoefer Thanks I was going to add that...
Dregs - the most worthless part or parts of something
Dredge - to dig, gather, or pull out with or as if with a dredge
civil engineering : to deepen (a waterway) with a machine that removes earth usually by buckets on an endless chain or a suction tube : to deepen with a dredge
(in cooking) to coat with flour
Al Pacino born in the USA but parents from italy.
If you want to see Pacino play yet another stereotypical gangster, he plays a Puerto Rican in Carlitos Way. Also check him out as Serpico, Scent Of A Woman and the Devils Advocate
fun fact , the scene where sosa calls tony a little monkey and tony's respone back was used at the begining of a track by wu tang clan member raekwon 1st album " only built for cuban linx"
Such a classic 👍 also highly suggestable: "Heat"
Tbh I found Heat a bit of a disappointment; considering the amount of talent involved.
@@neilsun2521 I agree with your assessment. It was okay to good. Not great IMHO.
Dregs, as in the waste left over from brewing that sink to the bottom of the barrel.
Al Pacino is Sicilian
Al Pacino was born in NY. His father came from Corleone/Sizilia🌿
14:23 Yeah, that for the next reaction. :) 18:13 Haha! 19:50 Unless you are rich.
30:38 Bang, bang... ;) 30:38 19:51 "Fastest way to a girl's... heart." :)
36:43 Yes, and put it as the background of your reactions.:D / Or did she mean that she wants a "giant ass portrait"... :)
39:09 43:24 Not a choice. 54:07 If you will watch Scarface II then you will know. ;)
One of my top 5 favorite movies of all time. There's also a PS2 game "Scarface: The World is yours" . It was the first birthday present to myself i ever bought.
Whatsa console?
DEAD when gaming - a few times now - x86/64 asking 😛
I remember that game. It takes place after Sosa sends his men but Tony escapes and has to rebuild his empire and take his revenge. The voice actor does a pretty good job as Tony Montana.
Actually a pretty decent game if I remember. I played it more than a couple times
It was ported to PC and was real good. Loved it.
@@Smenkhaare NOPE! It's a console-port!
For something a little more happy I reckon you guys should watch the high school musical trilogy
The WWF wrestler Razor Ramon was based on Scarface. That line "the world is coming to me, and everything in it" was used verbatim by Razor in his 1st ever appearance in 1992.
In all honesty now looking at it as an adult, Tony Montana is the biggest hater in movie history lol. Of all the chicks in the world, he goes after the boss’s lady. Then Frank told him how to move and he did the exact opposite. And to cap it all off, he kills his main guy while high. Lol. Classic movie but in hindsight…damnit Tony!!
I never get tired watching your movie reactions on TH-cam, you two guys made me my day. Moreover, I didn't know it was a remake from a movie of the 30's years because, most people grew up seeing Brian De Palma's Scarface. Furthermore, it's a crime against humanity Al Pacino hasn't even nominated for his Tony Montana's performance, however he had to spend 10 years in order to earn an Oscar for best actor in the movie "Scent of a Woman".
54:00 "where does his empire go?" - As his lawyer stated, they can beat the criminal charges, but the IRS is after him for unpaid taxes - So they are going to seize most of the empire. Whatever is left will probably seized under civil forfeiture.
27:30: When Tony said, "Go and out and do some things, have some fun." It sounds like he didn't mean to have sexual fun. He may be Gina's sister, but he treats her like a child and is SO overprotective.
Originally it's actually more obviously incestuous in the story.
That's why he's overprotective
If you haven't Al Pacino also portrayed a Puerto Rican man in Carlito's Way. ANOTHER MASTERPIECE. Al Pacino has played Latins lovely. Down to the accents. And many latinos gave played italians.
“Now remember. I only tell you one time. Don’t f*** me Tony. Don’t you ever try to f*** me” - Alex Sosa
Probably the most iconic movie quotes In Hollywood cinema history
53:05 "Say hello to my little friend!" That's what I say everytime I'm with a woman. No wait... That didn't sound right... :)
Classic film! Its crazy to think this is some people's first time watching it.
There was a time where people would avoid movies with running times like Scarface's. Now that the average running time of a film is two hours they might as well give it a go
Hi You Me and the Movies I had a movie to recommend could you guys watch the movie Ghost Ship? I thought of it when I saw your 13 Ghost reaction. :)
Fun fact: Steven Spielberg was Brian DePalma’s friend and during the editing of ET, Spielberg visited the Scarface set and got to direct a shot of the assassins coming up the stairs.
I agree with the comments; you gotta watch Carlito’s Way. I also recommend this “gangster” movie: Married to the Mob.
Is not related, but "Carlito's Way" is another good crime story too with Al Pacino and the same director.
They weren't playing crazy. Oliver Stone said all that coke was real & Michelle Phifer won't talk about it.
If neither of you has watched it, I absolutely recommend watching American Gangster and the Netflix crime drama Narcos. This received a videogame adaptation in the early 2000's
American Gangster is a fantastic movie. Incredibly overlooked and underrated.
The thing you ultimately seek will be the thing that ultimately destroy you...
Including yourself and the desire to identify ones-self.
Al Pacino is actually Italian from both sides of his family. He's Sicilian specifically from the town of Corleone like Don Vito in The Godfather.
Tony is really not a villain or "bad guy". You could say he's an anti-hero, but he's not that virtuous. He is more of a man who live by principle and would never kill or allow innocents to be killed. He only killed "bad guy" and those who "had it coming to them". He let the power go to his head unfortunately, but deep down, he had a good heart, but it was just too late for him :(
biggest shiit ive ever heard.
Tony is the definitive Anti-Hero. The true definition of an Anti-Hero is a Villain who's story you follow. They can be bad guys who beat up worse guys, or just straight up psychos. Horror monsters are included too. Characters who would qualify include:
John Wick
The Joker in his movie
The Bride (Kill Bill)
Almost every character in Pulp Fiction
Vincent (Collateral)
Nino Brown (New Jack City)
The Gruber Brothers (Die Hard Franchise)
The Predator
Freddy Krueger
Terrifier
The Devil's Rejects
In time, the concept of the Vigilante was not allowed to be perceived as "heroic" because technically these people are breaking the law. Characters such as Batman and The Punisher who were classified as bona fide heroes at launch were bracketed as anti-heroes in time, after that it just got tagged onto any edgy hero.
Subjective, but he's a bad guy. His good qualities you can count on one hand. His not wanting to kill kids/women is probably the only redeeming thing he does in the whole film.
41:34 Every mattress joke that doesnt have the punchline "Its not his fault, he came upon it." should hang their selves immediately.
This film is a great example of a modern greek tragedy. The qualities that raise Tony up to the heights of success; Ambition, Pride, Confidence, Passion, are the same things that lead to his ultimate downfall. He ends up destroying everything he loves the most in order to secure the things that he thinks he wants. He covets Frank's position, he wants Frank's wife not becaue he really feels anyting for her, but because she is a status symol and ultimately represents his dominance over Frank. When the few principles that he actually has are challenged, he finds himself in conflict with a force beyond his control, Sosa, and is destroyed. Great film.
"The World Is Yours" is borrowed from Howard Hawks' 1932 original version, starring Paul Muni.
