Boardwalk Empire - Al Capone Snorts Coke & Goes Crazy With A Tommy Gun
S04E04 - "All In"
Al takes George Muller (.a.k.a. Nelson Van Alden) for a ride in one of O'Banion's trucks, taking cocaine on the way before slaying one of O'Banion's men with a Tommy gun.

The fact the grouping of the rounds hitting the forrest around the "target" compared to the amount of rounds that actually hit the target speaks for itself. Good spread for short range with the tommy guns design during that era but obviously they made adjustments of the weapon design by ww2 for military use. THIS particular design with the heavier blowback due to the weight of the bolt doubled with Al firing with one arm makes it inaccurate as hell for further debate contact me with my non existent time machine so we can pull a brand new one off assembly and run further tests from 1920s

[@thelegendaryblackbeastofaa115]

Stephen Graham was always fantastic as Al Capone, but this scene is the moment where he really BECAME Al Capone, the icon. I just love how we see Al starting off as a young goofball in 1920 and then, steadily but quickly evolving into the legendary crime lord we all know. I don't know how accurately they got Al's personality, since I never knew the real guy obviously. But their interpretation of him (and all the real gangsters) is brilliant. Also, "I'm quite alert already." XDDD

[@Kreia.]

he acted better than real Al Capone.

[@detrogamus2619]

De Niro? How about 'em?

[@simle6010]

From everything I've read, Graham's portrayal of Al Capone is extremely accurate and much more realistic than the DeNiro version in Untouchables (although I did enjoy DeNiro a lot in that movie). The main inaccuracy with Graham is that the real Capone was a hulking brute whereas Graham is fairly small: but I think in spite of the size difference casting Graham was the right choice, because his portrayal was just that good.

[@jasonwilson8671]

I think what real started to show the real Al Capone is after they killed Frank. That grew him up real fast.

[@actioncom2748]

The real kicker is when you factor in his age. Al was convicted and effectively gone from Chicago by the time he was 30. He got out of prison by 40. And died soon after.

[@pirateman1144]

@@TheJamesRuddy But that decline in quality isn't because the cocaine itself is weaker. It's because dealers are cutting the product with other shit like baking soda or whatever. Pure uncut cocaine is more potent today than it ever has been because the science of it has improved plus there's been a long time to selectively breed plants for better yields.

[@el34glo59]

[@lambynighttrain]

Pirate Man that’s not correct. The science is still the same. In fact, the likely hood of getting better product then was higher for a few reasons 1) the creation of cocaine wasn’t illegal so the ingredients necessary for the process were of better quality 2) the finished product wasn’t illegal so there was no incentive for sellers/creators to create more product by using cutting agents. Pure cocaine is pure cocaine and there is no doubt it was easier to get that quality then than it is now.

But her grandfather was Jewish so got along better with Mayer Lansky. Many years later, her grandfather was out walking the dog in Miami where he lived at the time. As he walking around a corner he ran into Meyer who was also walking his dog. They talked about old times. The next morning the Feds were at the door wanting to know what they were talking about.
