@@grep67 it's kind of funny you used that line, because the guy who plays the deputy in here was in the third Exorcist movie, also called Exorcist Legion. The movie is based on a book that was the direct and true sequel to the original movie and book. It's a pretty decent watch.

Hasty One…….mmm.....sounds a bit suspect to me. Gene Hackman was not the studio's first choice to play Eddie 'Popeye' Egan [aka Jimmy 'Popeye' Doyle in the film] and he certainly wasn't the real detective's choice. In fact, Egan wanted handsome but rugged Australian actor Rod Taylor to play him.

TheSoulTwins ....This is true, what I said is Egan (and Sonny Grosso) thought GH did a great job. My family’s connection to TFC was Grosso, but knew Egan as well through Sonny.

@@hastyone9048 ……..I am sure that Egan [and Grosso] ultimately thought GH was excellent - but that certainly was not the case when GH was first cast in the role.

@@thesoultwins72 That's often so with the greatest movies. They didn't get the one they wanted, and then the one they finally chose turned out to be perfect for the role. This was also true for the actor who played Alain Charnier, the French drug boss. They got two actors confused, and shat in their pants and went into sheer panic when they saw who had arrived at the airport as he was the absolute diametric opposite in character to the actor they wanted and his French was poor. But in point of fact, he turned out to be movie-gold. It's one of those films where everything just went right. Incidentally, it was this film that made Gene Hackman as an actor. Before then, one of his teachers from film school would always mock him when their paths happened to cross as he was doing odd jobs to make ends meet, tellling him he would never get anywhere in acting and he was a loser.

@@thesoultwins72 Incidentally, the film was shot during one of the coldest winters on record for New York. This made the contrast between the detectives hanging outside the restaurant trying to warm their hands, and Charnier and his cronies in the luxury and warmth of the restaurant, and other similar scenes, all the more realistic. Another felicitous turn of events that contributed to the hard-edge documentary realism of the film.

Michael Rooker ain't bad either, unless Hackman actually had him by the balls.

@@bitemenow609 I went onto a site to see what I thought was the best movie in the last 8 years. 400 were listed, and I only picked one. I had only seen about 4 in the list, because many were far worse than crap. Formulaic repetitive rubbish in fact. I'm sure there would be about 5 good ones in there. I just haven't seen them. The Revenant was the only one on that list that I thought was above average.

all the actors deserve praise for the acting skills they would not have liked who they portrayed but the story had to be told as it was and the director as well

Thats probably the reason he was on the case. He's a former Mississippi Sheriff so he undersrands the way of life there. What makes him dangerous is the fact he comes across as a nice guy who does it by the book just like Ward does when in actual fact he doesn't think twice about resorting to dirty tactics to get a result like he does here he walks in all friendly has a drink and waits for them to make a move first then he retailiates and shows them he's not so by the book like they first thought and its proved later when he brings in that undercover op to scare the Mayor into telling them what happened

Also Frances McDormand who plays Mrs Pell went on to win two Best Actress Oscars.

And Rooker paralleling Hackman’s move over to the table. Just genius.

Agreed. And I would add the whole background atmosphere from the moment he enters the street door - the story telling and the response and expressions from the other guys in the joint - the whole scene is so totally realistic. You don't have the feeling you are watching people acting. This is quite an achievement.

And Hackman's last line "Thanks for the beer" is the icing on the cake!

Just goes to show you that the most ridiculously improbable scene can be done with skill.

Brad dourif is my second favorite character actor after Burgess Meredith. Perhaps, a video on character actors is needed.

It had this look (in B&W), as if the actors were improvising every line. Hackman played an embittered, homely hardass who was not to be thwarted, while Pacino played a soft, pretty boy type, who was extremely breakable. I don't recall how they came to become friends (I think they met at a party that turned into a brawl) but Hackman's character came to love Pacino's like a kid brother, and would kill for him. It's a heartbreaking picture with tremendous chemistry between the stars.

@@Facetimer864 oh man… you got me. What ever will I do now.

It’s a great scene, but not a realistic one. J Edgar Hoover, in reality, didn’t give a damn about black civil rights. On the contrary, he hated it. While the FBI in this movie is shown as heroically swooping in to some backwards southern American town, in reality the FBI cares nothing about this, and pretty much only did anything coincidentally.

Another face-off in film that comes to my mind, was the confrontation between Bob Ewell and Atticus Finch in, "To Kill a Mockingbird." Ewell spits in the face of Finch, but just as you see Finch tense and react, ready to come to blows, he pauses, regains his composure, takes out his handkerchief and wipes his face. The way Finch (Gregory Peck) suppresses his rage felt even more visceral than had he acted on it...That scene brought home the repugnant menace of Ewell and later provided justification to the audience for their feelings of joy, later in the film, upon his death.

The building anger and contempt in his voice and face was one good damn piece of acting! Also the pain when his nuts were being squeezed was also great acting! Riveting scene!

Great scene indeed.
