Boardwalk Empire - Gang wars intro

Boardwalk empire intro scene of season 3 episode 12, The season finale. The war between gyp and nucky.

[@DaBase333]

Nucky Thomson doesn't run this city.... I do! *awkward pauze. HAHAHAHA. Lmao, that's just brilliant.

[@S0nyToprano]

The press laughing made it all the better. Wish society was more like that nowadays. Dumb opinions and takes and people openly mocked you. Would make for more interesting times.

@@S0nyToprano fuck the leftist pussies today

[@chrystylerenee]

That reminds me of the original space jam when the aliens get all the warner bro characters in the auditorium, and say we're taking yaull hostage it was a pause and every single one of them starts laughing ....CLASSIC

I like how gyp and chalky were both getting there hands dirty personally

Phil Leotardo REALLY should have learned this lesson Gyp Rossetti became the example for: NEVER START A GANG WAR IN NEW JERSEY.

[@rickyray2794]

codyandfriendpros Yeah then he betrayed him lol

[@NYCentralSpotter1070]

When Owen's attempt on Masseria failed, Nucky should have learned "Never go in against a Sicilian when DEATH is on the line! Hahahahahahahaha!"

[@mattwell7236]

Then Gyp got whacked by Phil's kid brother Billy. Rip he was only 47 years old when Nucky shot him.

[@CGoody5642]

Matt Well really? I heard his head got run over by a motor vehicle after he got shot in the head. It was a real mess.

[@swaginyourmouth]

Phil Leotardo never had the makings of a varsity athlete

[@KallegrandStudios]

Kind of war Jimmy would have been perfect for.

[@eleanramirez2447]

I said that jimmy could’ve handled Gyp Richard took out his whole gang imagine jimmy

[@ryanricks3002]

Especially with his trusty knife that knife slit to neck reminded me of him … rip

[@ChristopherJ0884]

Agreed, I wonder if that thought ever crossed Nucky’s mind, Jimmy, Richard, and Al, cleaned house when it came to the D’Alessio brothers, the results here would’ve been the same

[@MrDts1907]

that guy killed by two knives, that was amazing; one stabbing him in the back while other was walking and cutting the throat with one cool single move, pretty cinematic, these guys know how to do it :)

[@Chungus581]

the cutthroat was Gyp Rosetti

[@coolrex8772]

Sad I'll never get to see the Chicago gang wars because the show got cancelled.

[@TheDRODOR]

what show????

[@til_thasmokeclearz853]

CoolRex87 no it didn't. it concluded

[@benjamincox4211]

til_thasmokeclearz they originally wanted to go for 8-10 seasons but hbo cut it short and after season 4 they told them they had 8 episodes to wrap it up. Pretty much it got canceled

[@paulrietveld9837]

@youngal04 They chose to conclude it after the formation of the American La Cosa Nostra. Plus what actually happened to the real nucky Thompson is he went to prison and died in the 40s. It wasn't so much of a lack of content, instead it was more so that all of the shows major characters stories actually we're wrapping up in 1930-35. So they would have had to create new character stories and basically turn the show into something new which most likely would have not have been good as the original, which never happens to TV shows.

[@aurorab4553]

@@paulrietveld9837 except that they didnt have to change any characters. you forget they time jumped from 1924 to 31. if ten seasons was what they wanted then they could of just went from 1920 to 1930. a year each season

1:16 gosh I wish this dress style could make a comeback.

[@monanamichelle773]

Love the beginning, those guys went down with style! Also Gyp slicing that guys neck was pretty awesome

[@Anti-CornLawLeague]

I think the opening scene with Al Capone shooting those lines up dudes and the drive by part later are both references to the Saint Valentines Day Massacre

[@conmanreloaded4249]

The line up killings we’re definitely intend to mimic the st. Valentine’s Day massacre but as for The drive by it reminds me more of the original Scarface from the 30s where an identical drive by occurs

[@gfunkmadness]

[@isaacbruner65]

One of the coolest scenes in the series

[@johnbaker5565]

The gangster genre is very entertaining. The cars, clothes, music, booze and hits. Underlying everything is the misery. This life has delivered nothing but that, Once Upon a Time in America also highlighted the horrible lifestyle being a gangster invites.

I have no idea why but the hit at 0:46 always makes me laugh!

[@Commenter5651]

I think its because of how casually he was strolling through a casino with a shotgun like its something normal. Most of the other hits were done in a sneaky way.

[@steeltown2946]

Because they give no fucks. They are like robots. They see their target and they whack them. They are emotionless to the person dying. Because they are hired to kill, for money to support their own damn family's 😋

[@ThreeRunPictures]

Starting to like Boardwalk Empire more than Sopranos... more action, less dream sequences. More interesting characters. Better politics and intrigue.

[@pacco9532]

I feel like I’ve been stabbed in the heart

[@acsone3546]

Overall it’s better but without the sopranos there wouldn’t have been a BE

[@ryanricks3002]

I never even seen the sopranos it just sounds over rated

[@illz47]

@@ryanricks3002 it’s not overrated. If you only watch tv shows for entertainment then yes perhaps you’ll think BE is better because there is more action. But the acting,writing, innovation, thematic depth, and artistry of The Sopranos is almost unparalleled in TV. Don’t get me wrong though Boardwalk Empire is usually amazing and one of my favourites too but I don’t think it quite reaches that same level

[@binalmistry]

Sopranos was better written, had layers, character development and more rewatch value. I have probably seen sopranos 1000x and i still watch it without getting bored. BE is superb! I wish it had continued for a few more seasons without the 6 year time jump. Maybe then it could have been on.the same level of Sopranos.
