I remember this scene haunting me as a kid, yet I somehow remember it as being worse. Like I remember it as if you could hear Nancy scream for dear life, while you just see bill beating her.

That poor dog was right to run away from him. The dog could sense his evil intentions.

That splatter of blood always haunted me as a kid

Even the dog able to sense his evil owner.

Despite this film being made by a disgusting creep it's arguably the most disturbing, violent telling of the OLIVER TWIST story I've ever seen. Dickens would be proud and mortified.

The 1916 Silent film of Oliver Twist has Jackie Coogan playing Oliver. Coogan also plays Uncle Fester in the original Adams Family.

No one can surpass Oliver Reeds Sykes. Masterpiece.

We watched this scene in class, as Oliver Twist was on the English curriculum, and I just put my hand over my mouth for fear I might vomit. Poor Nancy deserved so much more. She was like a mother/sister rolled into one toward Oliver. Poor thing she looked so scared

Makes me sick. Kind of man would drown an innocent dog. I know its a story but it makes my blood boil seeing animal cruelty.

I'll be updating this from time to time. Please feel free to add your comments about the main five characters, thank you. I won't be adding the characters/actors from the Silent Film Era. Tom Hardy made an excellent Bill Sykes. Even though I really like Newton and Reed's performances, their real life alcoholism and the way Gin is used so heavily in all of the films just as in Dickens' book . . . well, it really comes through that Sykes is a heavy drinker. With Tom Hardy's portrayal, Sykes really comes off as a truly violent and dangerous man. Both the Sykes and Fagan characters carry a cudgel which is a particularly heavy wouldn't stick or tree branch with a heavy gnarled knot on one end. I'm going to watch all of the Oliver & Oliver Twist performances that I can find; rank them accordingly from lowest to highest, I guess. I started with: 1933, with Dickie Moore/Oliver, Irving Pichel/Fagan, Wm "Stage" Boyd/Sykes, Doris Lloyd/Nancy and Sonny Ray/Dodger.

I watched rhis with my class everyone cried

This is the best Oliver Twist movie imo.

Oooooh fucking no! In that shitty lair just Nancy took pity on poor little orhan Oliver, she protected saved and was kind to him!!! It's sooo saaad she was so pretty, beatiful and kind!!!!! We can only be glad that her actress Lianne Rowe is alive!!!

‘Tis is sooooooo sad

Tom Hardy's Sykes dog appears to be an American Bully. I think Oliver Reed's dog, in the musical is the Bull Terrier.

I was so sad when I read this and Nancy died 😥

this scene is very good acted, but i will prefer the 1968 edition

Go on Bill give her all the strength of doom you've got.

But in the original book wasn’t Nancy killed in an alleyway and everyone chased after bill

Oliver twist (2005) drama/violence

Well my oma said let’s watch Oliver Twist and 2 hours later someone just got beaten to death

What breed was used to play bullseye in this movie? American bulldog?

Is this a musical version

very good movie but very bad Sykes they could have use a better actor Hugh Jackman would have been best Sykes

Poor nancu

mincarft

This vwersion was terrible and not close to the book
