Bulls eye was like “nahhhh. This time you took it too far, I’m out”

Nancy's death always gets to me, its the scariest death for me as a child even now I still feel sorry for the violence of it. it still makes me shudder to this day.

As a child I cried my eyes out. Still many years later this is such a tear jerker.

Bullseye is like “I’m not going to let you get away with this.”

Bullseye should have also been nominated! Brilliant!

Bill sikes saying “ Nancy I loved you didn’t I, what have you done to me” IS ABSOLOUTLEY WILD! you kill her then say I loved you then blaming her is absoloutley crazy.

I think Charles Dickens would be pleased at Oliver Reeds performance as Bill Sikes I heard some of the cast say that Oliver was a big man and could be intimidating but he never hurt them but he could be frightening but a great motivator during the scenes. I heard shani who plays Nancy when asked about this scene and how it was filming it she said “It was all done completely in the moment!! There was very little preconceived Direction. Oliver Reed said ‘Do what you want to me, I will be able to defend myself and I will do the rest’ and he was a great motivator. When he grabbed me, I didn’t expect it and that scene just happened!” That's how this scene was done! I also heard that in an interview with Oliver Reed that the journalist said I hated Bill Sikes for what he did to Nancy and Oliver replied saying you were supposed too! It is sad to watch and I think Bill could easily lose his temper fast and he was so used to Nancy going with what ever he said and abusing her but then she started standing up for Oliver even before this scene and he did not like it at all! Even in one scene he said to Nancy I will have no more of that! Bill did not like to be challenged. Even when he hit Nancy in fagins with the boys they just stood up watching from a distance out of fear and Nancy stood up for Oliver far more than fagin or the boys did. She was the only one to challenge Bill and I admire that! Nancy will always be a famous character because domestic violence and abuse is so common and it happens and you usually don't get that in musicals but it was there she is a brave character and so much love to give! Nancy grew up small with Bill and fagin thieving she even says it in a scene and I believe she did not want that kind of life for Oliver! I know I would not like to get into fisticuffs with Oliver Reed as Bill Sykes even bulls eye his best friend ran away even bulls eye had limits and knew justice had to be done for Nancy!

The acting from Oliver Reed was phenomenal. Even though he killed Nancy to stop Oliver from being returned to safety, he is haunted with guilt for killing his own domestic partner even though it is implied he abused her. While Sykes was obviously evil, he did show remorse for killing Nancy and knows there's nothing he can do to bring her back and he goes into madness as murdering Nancy has psychologically changed him. And even though he is guilt ridden, he knows that the police will get him and execute him for the murder (as well as the fact he is too dangerous to be left alive)

How did my parents ever think it was a good idea to let me watch this as a child!!!!

Loved this movie and Oliver Reed was epic in this

I remember watching this for the first time when I was like 4 with my mum and I said "He's hurt her" because I knew what he did was wrong and my mum said "He's killed her" Might as well get me learning early

My all-time favourite film musical. Would be hard to watch a remake of this, the actors were perfect.

I always hated it that Fagin lost his treasure. I also always hated Nancy's death, terrified me as a child.

Just think, if Nancy went up the steps with Oliver to Mr. Bronlow, instead of hesitating, she would have lived. Also, she could have told her friend Beth to sneak Oliver out during “Oom Pah Pah” instead and stayed close to Bill during the whole scene so he would think Oliver just took off on his own.

Bill Sikes killed Nancy and he actually nearly put Oliver in danger! That’s really horrific!

Man he beat the helll out of her. Imagine this scene without the music though.

"Hey Fagin wha'd do i do?" His accent is excellent

A Major Problem at the time during the Victorian Era (1837-1901) was Drunkenness! Amongst the public & the Police themselves. Many of the original Peelers were dismissed with in ten years for being drunk on duty. As well as arresting drunks, the Constables had to cope with all manor of public duties, including Fighting Fires, Breaking up Fights, and as well as Serious Crime. The new police force tended to be Thief Catchers, not Detectives.

An 1840s constable's uniform from the City of London Police, on display in the City of London Police Museum. The original City of London uniform was blue, to differentiate from the red worn by the army. The collar was high and contained a leather stock to guard against garrotting (strangling with a wire or something similar). This was the most common form of attack against a police officer. These were removed from the uniform by the 1870s.

Rip Oliver reed but my favorite idol is mark Lester as Oliver

Let’s just remind ourselves that the BBFC (British age rating system for films) rated this film U meaning anyone can watch it. Christ we used to have courage about what we could show in films.

On KZfaq is a 90 minute documentary film called History of the British Police Force. Told by Brain Cox.

In 1829 Legislation was passed by Parliament to establish the Metropolitan Police Force in London.

Even Fagan didnt do what bill did

MARK LESTER I LOVE YOUUUUUIU AND I WILL FOREVER❤❤❤❤❤❤

If only Arnold Schwarzenegger was in this. He'd come up to Bill Sykes and hit him against the wall many times asking "Why did you do that?!" like he did to Sinbad in "Jingle all the way".

Law Enforcement Police Officers of the Century.

This scene makes me hate Bill MORE and MORE!!!

Why doesn’t Fagin reach for the crown at least

Oh my God, Oliver Reed absolutely killed this role. Too bad he was such a horrible alcoholic and Gladiator was his last film.

History of the British Police Force.
