Boardwalk Empire - Richard Harrow Killing Spree

[@lancevangen2492]

[@dariusdiamante317]

The love & the responsibility that Harrow felt for Jimmy Darmody's kid was quite profound. It was just an extension of the loyalty that he still held for Jimmy. Jack Huston brought so much dimension and emotional depth to Harrow. Too bad he never got more recognition for that role. He is an actor of astonishing gifts.

[@arsxxmoriendi]

That and the goodness in his heart that forced him to defend the weak. None of the men he killed throughout the course of the series were innocent, only Maybelle which why his character dies afterward. Richard has survived far more gruesome injuries in the war; he purposely sat down and removed his mask to bleed out for killing an innocent girl.

[@alexf9381]

[@lordmortimer8055]

I feel like it also confuses the guy holding the gun and causes him to visually let his guard down a bit and allow Richard the upper hand.

[@drunkvax]

If Richard didn’t die he would’ve raised Tommy properly and Tommy wouldn’t have sought out revenge to Nucky

[@getinit56]

I think there is just as easily a ballistics reason for this. In reality, standing in front of a rifle at such close range, would create a blast of particles that could easily take an eye out. I dont think the kid was going to witness the shot behind him. I dunno, that could be wrong, but I'd like to know why it was scripted.

[@hugostiglitz6914]

Don't think that's the message Richard was giving. He was telling the man with the gun you're in control now, don't let the child see you shoot me, giving him a false sense of confidence before he shot him. He wouldn't have wanted the child to see what he was about to do as well!

The episode where he goes out to the woods to top himself and the hunter finds him, asks him if he's okay while making it clear that "these woods aren't for that kind of thing, you hear?"

Richard is a murderer, he doesn't have a soft spot for any particular sex or age, he has a soft spot for Tommy, Jimmy's wife, people he knows and likes.

[@beeticket]

Yes. Part of what makes Richard’s character so tragic is how he represents a truly lost group in history. How many young men returned from the war disfigured, infirm, or disabled? How many failed to ever integrate again or find love because of this? No families, no children, no memories of who they were. Just ghosts now, lost to the cruelty of time. Richard helps us remember the forgotten men whose stories were worth telling.

That was awesome in detailing how really loyal, lethal, and cool Richard Harlow was in Boardwalk Empire. My favorite character

[@Bergen98]

Harrow was an unstoppable killing machine, a serious "John Wick"-type. Badass and silent All those "soldiers" who were scaring and extorting people, could not compare with a real soldier who went through hell of War

[@Welshguy78]

I remember talking about this scene with my departed friend, Jimmy the Saint. We both loved this show and anticipated Harrow's revenge, but this exceeded all our expectations. Miss you Ed/Jimmy.

[@Garage-uj7pv]

It's such a great scene, reminiscent of some of my favourite samurai movies. Harrow's motivation isn't revenge or blood lust, it's purely getting getting the boy back. Hey sorry about the loss of Jimmy too man, he sounds like a legend also 👍

Quite possibly the best character in the history of tv/cinema. Period.

[@Comicsluvr]

It has been proven in numerous shootouts that he with the coolest head will more than likely win. Twice he was fired on on the stairs and twice they missed. This was not unrealistic. Where everyone else was dashing around, Harrow was calm and precise.

[@jareddixon9108]

They probably jerked the trigger. They always tell you “Slow and steady pull”, because squeezing your hand to fast makes it jerk to the side, which can seriously throw off a bullets trajectory.

[@cooliostarstache5474]

I know I'm very late to the party, but I just started the last season of this show, and I just feel so unbelievably empty. I saw myself in Richard, his fears, his loneliness, his dreams. Watching this scene when Richard went to save Tommy had me ecstatic and also terrified, that he would die trying. The season 4 finale just gutted me. I've never really cried to anything else, except this show, today. I genuinely feel like I not only lost a friend but a part of myself. No other show, movie, book, game, or anything has ever done that to me

Fear and confusion. Even afterwards they didn't know what that was all about. Like at the beach scene after this they're like what was with that guy with the mask and nobody knew.

[@datsniggawater]

[@tankmaster1018]

Probably one of the best killing sprees I've ever seen, and I haven't even watched this show. That was just fantastic between Harrow's main firing with the rifle and the quick switch to the shotgun for close quarters and handgun of whenever things got hairy. And I love how this scene actually demonstrates the advantage a person with the element of surprise holds, even against a superior enemy/force. I may have to watch this whole series now... that was fucking excellent!

[@arsxxmoriendi]

Yes, you absolutely should watch the whole series even thought one of its best moments and build-ups has been spoiled for you.

[@WystericalHysteria]

''Tommy, close your eyes.'' The only words exchanged by Harrow as he massacres Massaria's boys. Not once did he flaunt or shout his bravado out loud for everyone to hear. He's a soldier, he does what he does so that he can come home. And by the way, his final kill was just showing off lmao.

[@arsxxmoriendi]

Single greatest character performance of all time. The quirks of speech, the mannerisms, the varying emotions he conveyed with one eye...simply astounding.

[@Nieghorn]

I loved his final scene in the episode as well. Did it all for the boy. Brought a tear to my eye.

[@plyingod]

For as vicious as Richard could be he was also as kind and loving. A man torn apart by the circumstances of his world.

[@oceanberserker]

"Circumstances" meaning the bumfuck old men who sent him off to fight their war.

[@grumblekin]

I remember when my friend went through Mafia training. They taught him to never use cover, always wait 5 seconds before shooting, never shoot through a door and to never hit the first shot. This made sure he would be a good movie extra but he didn't make it very long in his first gunfight.

[@Ericism718]

did you just say your friend went through mafia training? dude, what the fuck are you talking about?

[@grumblekin]

badabingnyc I'm making a joke about how stupid the victims in the video are. They only approach from the front, miss all their point blank shots and never try an ambush, even when they know he is coming. Do you get jokes? Are you consistently surprised when traffic lights change from red to green and always disappointed when stop signs never do? Maybe you need to ask an adult to explain jokes to you.

I’ve watched this scene 100 times easily. It’s one of my favorites of all time.

[@Conscript_Nerf]

The way he turned those corners in the stairs with discipline only had by soldiers of a trench

[@aseriousman91]

A professional marksman like Richard knows the weight of the rifle and how to aim it in that position. He's clearly aiming as he's lowering the weapon. In fact, he put the shot in the perfect place: the upward trajectory of the bullet into the brain kills the dude instantly, so no involuntary spasms that would make him accidentally pull the trigger and shoot Tommy.

[@Ensign_Cthulhu]

Or he was waiting for the instant when the guy shifted his gun.

[@dantruss84]

Just watched this again after years and this is by far the best episode and my most favourite bit of boardwalk empire. Richard was a legend and a real hardcore soldier, can’t believe they killed him off. My fav character

Was really sad when Richard Harrow died. So much depth to his character. He was finally about to get everything he deserved, had one last job to do... And it couldn't have gone more wrong. Tragic.

[@lowkey213]

One man wrecking ball. Imagine, our grandparents did that daily during the great wars. I was 16 and dumb enough to ask my grandpa if he killed anyone during the 2nd. Jolliest man I ever knew. His face changed, he looked at the wall with a blank stare I had never seen, and I felt stupid as hell. He said in short. Bullets have no names. He went with his father and uncle to the eastern front and returned without them. He kept land mines in his attic, and who knows what ales. I just happened to find them as a kid. R.I.P. grandpa and great grandpa

[@drnr2981]

I cried like a baby when he came home and you saw his full face. Knew he was gone... Still gets me.

[@merciless41582]

The best moment on the entire show!! Season 3 was a fuckin masterpiece. My favorite season by far. On a show that didn’t have too many likable characters, Richard Harrow was one of the few characters I loved. A man who’s filled inside with loneliness, turmoil, anger, and sadness. I believe Jake Huston, the actor who played Richard is Angelica Huston and Danny Huston's nephew I believe. Did anyone else get Taxi Driver vibes while watching this moment? I certainly did. The final scene in Taxi Driver when Travis goes to save Iris has a lot in common with this scene. Scorsese was an executive producer on this show so I can see why he put this scene in this episode. Also, Richard is a lot like Travis. Now I can see why this show is show highly praised and awarded. It may not be as good as The Wire but it’s damn close.
