Al Pacino Never Had Any Beef With Robert De Niro | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

[@rjones6801]

After everything Pacino has accomplished in life, it's unreal how humble he is.

[@dameinoferrall2400]

And I believe it's pretty real. Working in NYC for a few years around those in or near the biz, heard lots of negative stories about De Niro. None about Pacino. My friend was on his way to or from an audition and bumped into Pacino in 2002 when he was performing Salome on Broadway. My friend had his head shot and told Pacino how much he was a fan and asked if he could sign it. He said Pacino looked around to see, I guess to make sure there weren't a ton of people around, signed it quickly and walked off. That's awesome!

[@gp3256]

Heat is one of my all time favorite movies ever. Phenomenal acting from Pacino and De Niro, and Val Kilmer’s best role too. Just epic movie all around. I cried at the final scene between the two Titans because you’re rooting for the anti-hero. Just great great movie. If you haven’t watched it already, do yourself a favor and go watch this weekend

[@gerrydooley951]

stupid macho crap. The shootout at the end is ridiculous.

[@h3artands0uLL]

@@gerrydooley951 the shootout scene is particularly special because the director chose to keep the sound of the actual gunfire in the scene so it sounded real. That was not added back in post production or anything, it was as it sounded while being filmed. I think that’s pretty cool. Perfectly fine if it’s not your cup of tea
