Funny thing. When I was at school we had poster of that movie hanging on a wall in our classroom. It hanged there for loooong time. So I was familiar with title. Eventually I watched that movie about 25 years later. Or sth. like that. :) And yeah. I was blown away by Mona Lisa. ;)
Marisa Tomei stole the whole movie, but Fred Gwynn was pretty damn good too. And so was Joe Pesci. Mona Lisa talking about spinning your tire in the Alabama mud really connected with the folks in the jury. That Vinny was a lucky guy.
It's easy to miss the fact that Vinny put her on the stand because he knew what she would say - because he'd noticed the same things she did. He just needed someone who could testify about it.
More so, it was his way of apologizing to her. He wanted her to see that the photo she took was a key piece of evidence in his case and that he couldn't have won without her.
What I always thought was odd is that the prosecutor objected to her because she wasn’t on the witness list…neither was George Wilbur, but he was okay?
I love how, when she says the defense is wrong, the two yutes are panicking, thinking they're screwed...except that's exactly what Vinny wants her to say. Like someone else commented, Vinny realized it from the photo, but he needed someone else to point it out.
@@elizabethfarrar2515I’ve seen lawyers say the least accurate thing about the movie is how perfectly it follows procedure, because no real case is that perfect.
Yep! I got my Bachelors of Science in Paralegal Studies and we had to watch My Cousin Vinny for a project. We had to list all the accurate legal facts and any mistakes. It’s not only a great movie but very well done by Hollywood.
Marissa made this movie go she killed it. She got an Oscar for this movie if I remember correctly for best supporting actress and she deserved it like she killed it.
We also had Nero Wolfe from the A&E series as well. That was the guy with the magic grits, Mr. Tipton. You also had the shorter guy that got his butt kicked by a kid in Home Alone.
I love the way the interaction between Vinny and Mona is like foreplay, they just adore arguing and Marisa knocked this out of the park, won the Oscar and deservedly so, I frickin love My Cousin Vinny.
What I love is that when the prosecutor (Lane Smith, in a great performance) turns back to ask the expert witness something as Marisa Tomei's character sums up the reasons why the car must have been a '64 Pontiac Tempest, you can see the expert witness mouth what clearly looks like, "Yeah, she's right."
I made my 20 something year-old friend watch this with me because I knew she would love it. It is one of the greatest movies ever made. Everybody should see it!
Marisa Tomei started on the television sitcom "A Different World" in 1987. She was on the first season, then disappeared. A few years later she shows up on "My Cousin Vinny", steals all of the scenes she's in, and wins an Oscar for her role.
A lot of people miss it but the "Are you sure?" "I'm positive." lines are a callback to the scene where they're arguing over the broken sink. Yes. This is absolutely their version of foreplay.
I've seen comments on this scene about how she cracked the case for him, and while she was wonderful and a tremendous help it's clear from the movie Vinny cracks the case. That's why he knows to ask her the question with that specific phrasing while showing her the exact picture that proves it. That's why he got the officer to check for vehicles/arrests in nearby counties matching the other vehicle. The point the movie is making isn't that she had to crack the case for him, the point is that he needed her help! And he definitely needed her help because he can't testify as a the defense attorney. Even better, he didn't give her the answer he already had because not only did he want her reaction to be authentic, but he trusted in her to spot it and play off his questions to wow and dazzle the jury. Which she of course did. In short, he finally trusted her to help with the case and was immediately rewarded for doing so. PS - The end scene for this movie is hilarious and wonderful. Vinny: "I wanted to win my first case without any help" Lisa: "This could be a sign of things to come; you win your cases - but with "someone else's help". Right? You win case after case and then afterwards you have to go up to someone and say...."thank you". Oh my god - what a F'ing nightmare! Vinny: "I won my first case. You know what this means?" Lisa: "You think I'm going to marry you?" Vinny: "You're not going to marry me now?" Lisa: "No way! You can't win a case by yourself. You're F'ing useless!" (Reading this makes me realize how much their body language, tone of voice, etc.. sell the coy and playful nature of their relationship!)
One of my favorite moments is what I can only assume is an acting choice by Marisa Tomei. When Mona Lisa is explaining positraction, you can see when the character is thinking, "Come on, Vinny. You know this. Oh, I need to explain to the jury! Let's go."
And when she used being stuck in the mud in Alabama to illustrate and the jury instantly understood and agreed because it was something they could identify with.
In this scene, I always love how Vinny actually solved the case even before Ms. Vito took the stand. Him giving the officer the note to look up the Pontiac Tempest before she even hit the stand. Having her corroborate qhat was already in his head was thw chefs kiss. He's knowledgeable in cars almost as much as Mona Lisa.
@@jmkfaves Well, as the defense attorney, he couldn't be a witness, so he needed someone else to be the witness. He just needed to ask her the right questions, in the right way that the Judge wouldn't rule him as leading the witness.
He actually complained earlier in the movie about not having time to learn court procedures, and in his litany of reasons one was working nights in her father's garage. So they did establish that he took would know about cars. This movie is fantastic with its attention to small details and how things circle back to be important. Amazing scene from an amazing movie.
I love that this sequence may just have won Marisa Tomei an Oscar. Not only is the character on fire throughout, but the actor is too. She absolutely steals this movie out from underneath everyone, well done Joe Pesci for fighting to cast her despite the fact she was nominated for a Razzle for her previous (first movie), Oscar starring Sylvester Stallone. The fact that Herman Munster is the Judge, Perry White from 1990s Lois and Clark is the prosecutor and the Karate Kid is a defendant and must all have known a star was being born right in-front of them just adds to the entertainment value for me. "Great shades of Elvis" indeed....
The director also worked on the plot and script, he was a law school graduate but decided to get into movies. Alot of law classes show this movie because it's considered one of the most accurate movies in term of court cases and procedures.
Everybody misses the fact that Vinny figured it out first. That's why he called her to testify and also why he sent the sheriff looking for the other car before her testimony.
I find it interesting and enjoyable to see all the women’s reactions. it seems Marisa Tomei was speaking on their behalf to be heard and not dismissed.
I've always said this was the best Oscar winning role by a character that technically was needed. Vinny, who was not a mechanic, figured it all out after looking at the photo for a few seconds. He could have recalled the the prosecution's expert witness and presented each of the questions to him. That said, this scene on the stand was better than Nicholson's in "A Few Good Men." The Academy agrees.
Vinny was a mechanic. He mentions early on, after Lisa bails him out the first time, being too busy working in her father's garage to go sit in on trials to learn pocedure.
@@Snowman-556The reason she is better is because her knowledge base is unexpected. Nicholson’s performance kind of was expected because he played such a condescending character. Cruise even says he knows what the general wants to say. We didn’t know Mona Lisa Vito had that much mechanical knowledge as to be considered an expert. The sink scene gave us a clue that she understood some basic mechanics, but not that she would know the ignition timing and model years of different engine systems, plus the wheel bases, size, weight, length, and paint colors of multiple older model cars. Yes, Nicholson’s scene was iconic, but it’s Mona Lisa Vito’s that I never get tired of watching.
My three favorite reactors here. 1 - Asia and BJ 2 - Popcorn in Bed 3 - Rob Squad I watch just about everything these three do. Especially Asia and BJ.
I went to HS with Marissa (Edward R Murrow HS in Brooklyn).. She was 2 years behind me... Murrow had one of the top performing arts programs in the country (Public school but was getting funding from NBC studios and Joseph Papp and other Broadway producers) Lets just say, she is speaking her native tongue n this scene..
One of the BEST movies ever!!! I'd marry that girl in a minute.😄 (Being in the automotive business for 40+ years has NOTHING to do with it) She's just a nice knowledgeable young lady.🥰🤣😄👍👍👍
There are those who have criticized giving the Oscar to Marisa for this performance. To that I say baloney. She was flawless in this role and just because it’s a comedic performance does not diminish its brilliance.
I love how they wrote the man having skills, but not necessarily man skills. She’s S-Rank at cars, and ain’t nobody calling him a cup or a Chad. And his masculinity is not threatened.
Love this movie!! Fred Gwynn, the cranky judge, played the part of Herman Munster back in the 1960’s tv show, The Munsters…RIP Fred…great cast and funny as funny can be…👍😎😉🔥
Her funniest moment for me was when he got out of jail and told her to support him and she got so sarcastic on him it was just classic "the way you talked to that judge youre a smooth talker you are you are" lol
When the opposing lawyer says that just because she is an ex-mechanic she is not an expert on tire marks he was correct in his argument. Vinny specifies that Mona Lisa's expertise in is general automotive knowledge.
I'm not a lawyer, but I've read enough interviews with them where they say you never ask a witness a question when you don't know how they will answer.
The question NO ONE in court asked or answered is HOW/WHY did the "prosecutor" knew (came up with) such a specific technical question in auto mechanics to ask Mona?
Best Movie ever!!! Love them both! Plus the fact that’s my name Lisa Vito also aka Mona Lisa Vito and my father Owned automotive shop 40 yrs and my three😂😂 brothers work there I even work! No joke! HOWEVER ER! I didn’t do any Trannies or oil changes ha ha. some admin work lol When I need to cheer it’s my go to… I can’t stop laughing every time I watch this movie both great actors! 😮so hysterical with us and she definitely deserve to win best movie watch it constantly just started again everybody sent it to me because I know much I love it so I’ve been watching bunch of other of her appearances on Conan and some shows. She’s so dang adorable and gotta luv a Joe Pesci and Boxer‘s shooting at the owl 🦉 …Two Yootes …Boy R U mocking me?! great movie!!❤😊
There's a reason she won an Oscar for this role.
Yeah, the most undeserved win in Oscars history.

Instantly.

Marisa Tomei is beyond amazing in this role. It never gets old.
After seeing the tom Holland spiderman movies neither does she
Cute too
Vinny’s “I would LOVE to hear this!” gets me every time. Amazing line delivery
"no there's more," she's so cute when she says that 🥰

'The two yutes.' 😂
This movie is so well regarded in the US legal community that it is frequently used in law schools to demonstrate courtroom procedures.
It followed procedure exactly.
Hollywood got it right.😂

Her on screen charisma is off the charts.
I love that scene, also love the fact that Herman Munster and the karate kid are both in it.

Also Rachel’s ex-fiancé Barry from “Friends”.

I'm half a mind to think that that end scene was all improv. They're both New Yorkers so they just fed off of each other.
Exactly this! Love how eloquently you put it.
I fall in love with Marisa Tomei all over again each and EVERY time I watch that performance!

And don't forget her biological clock is ticking. Love that scene as well.

What most people don't know, is that the judge use to play Herman Munster on the old TV show "The Munsters "

One of my favorite scenes on film, thank you Miss Tomei. Oscar well deserved
I want to live in an alternate universe where this was spun off into a Columbo-type television show: the continuing adventures of Vinny and Mona Lisa.
"This is like their foreplay." SO REAL
This has got to be the sexiest scene in movie history.
The scene at the end of the movie as they drive away is the capper on this banter between these two great actors.

I looked up pictures of both models mentioned and there are some slight differences in appearance but they do look alike if you don’t look closely.
Funny how some still criticise Marisa Tomei's Oscar win, ... yet here we are, everybody loves her in this role.
The question NO ONE in court asked or answered is HOW/WHY did the "prosecutor" knew (came up with) such a specific technical question in auto mechanics to ask Mona?
Irrelevant, but he probably asked the state's expert off-screen.
It was a hyenas question.
@nicksterj A fair hypothesis.
This movie is a must watch and gets better with multiple viewings. Classic!
The absolute best scene in a movie that every scene was great. Marissa Tomei stole every scene she was in. Her Oscar was very well deserved.
Hello, police? I'd like to report a case of grand larceny because Marisa Tomei is STEALING this scene :)
Did you guys know that Marisa Tomei won an Oscar for her performance in "My Cousin Vinny"? Yes, Your Honor, she did!!!
I love her accent
How much did she deserve that Oscar?!!!
Makes me want to see the whole great movie again 😎
My favorite scene from my favorite movie, I'm positive.
He threw her the alleyoop for that slam dunk of a testimony
Marisa's Oscar winning score. ❤️
People seem to forget Vinny figured it out before she did
always had a crush on her. she still looks good today, great actress too ;)
My wife imitates her lines perfectly and it usually leads to something naughty.
What a fun movie, but ooohh boy this scene was so satisfying!!!
Probably my favorite comedy
She’s good at studying her lines.
What gets lost in all this is how Vinny knew all of this before she took the stand. Is Vinny also an automotive expert?
This scene capped the movie perfectly. Loved this scene.
It is a great scene from a great movie made even better by having Fred Gwynne presiding over the case.
the best reconciliation between two lovers! 😊
I wouldn't mind a TV spinoff with her character solving crimes like the new Matlock
