What works so well about this scene is the way Dennis Hopper delivers it. At a point in the interrogation he realizes there's no way he's getting out of this alive, and they'll just torture him until he gives up his son, which he will never do. So with a chuckle he decides to deliver what Italian mobsters might consider the greatest insult possible.

When I was on my OB/GYN rotation in med school, nearly 20 years ago, my attending in the clinic, an African-American doc, was explaining about the importance of sickle-cell testing in our patient population, which was also heavily African-American. At the end of his spiel, he gave me wry smile and said, "now, YOU don't have to worry about that." I responded, "No, I don't, because I've already been tested, and I know I'm a carrier." He drew back in surprise, looked back and forth between his notes and my face a few times with a puzzled expression, and, finally, asked, "you mean you're one of US?" "Yeah, I guess I must be," I deadpanned. After a brief pause, I explained, "actually, in my case, it was from my mom's Sicilian ancestry." As soon as I said the word "Sicilian," he let out an involuntary chuckle. "Aha, Sicilian! Have you ever seen 'Goodfellas'?" I hadn't yet, but I told him I knew I should. "You have to see it--there's this scene with Dennis Hopper ..." When I finally saw "Goodfellas" and realized that there was no Dennis Hopper, I was confused. It wasn't until I caught this scene on some "Top 10 best acted scenes" video on KZbin that I realized "True Romance" was the movie my attending meant to cite, and this was the scene. I still think of Dr. Julian every time I see it.

Even in african-american populations in the U.S it's less prevalent than 10%. In North Africa ( Syria, Libya, Algeria, Tunisia ) where you'd think it could be carried from because of closer proximity, it's not very common. In Italy and Sicily in particular it's far below 1% of the population. It IS very common in sub-sharan Africa but most of the people there never made it north to the Mediterranean. However the gene is also present in India and many places where Malaria is common. It's anyone's guess why you would carry the gene but definitely interesting.

He definitely didn’t create Jackie Brown about an empowered independent smart black woman. He definitely did make Django Unchained about a slave who runs around in a flamboyant bright blue suit that displays prestige and opulence killing slave masters in order to save his enslaved wife that he was separated from so they can live happily ever after. And he definitely didn’t have Sam L Jackson play an intelligent black Major who dissects a murder of a black woman and her family and mercilessly punishes the four white people and a mexican that are responsible but not before he teaches a racist General a lesson. Yea a racist definitely made those films.

My Great Granfather came to the US in the bottom of a refurbished cattle boat at age 19 in 1902. He made his way to the coal mines of WVa , saved the money to send for my Great Grandmother's passage. They raised nine children All of them graduated and my 7 Great uncles ALL served proudly in WWII. Poppy (As we affectionately called him ) aborhed the association that "all Italians" are "Mafia" associated . To my point, W. O P. Stood for With Out Papers. This was so infuriating to him to be referred to as A "W.O.P" because of all He had been through Legally receiving his citizenship! Just wanted to put this out there. RIP and Love You Poppy!!!😘

Wop doesn’t mean without papers. I’m also sicilian, and my nonno immigrated illegally. But that’s besides the point. Wop is a bastardization or the word “guappo” which is a Sicilian term for a ruffian. Sicilians would affectionately call each other this as a joke, but white Americans took it and turned it into a racial slur, shortening it to “wop”.

@Thinking Clearly Two first of all are you italian decent ? Or are you medigan trying to preach right or wrong about my culture ?? My grandfather any many other southern italians left to create and establish a better life because of povertyb the lack of jobs and the. economy which is still pretty bad to this day sicily and calabria are the poorest regions in italy and the reason why there is organized crime one reason behind this is because northern italy stole most of the wealth from southern italy during the unification and never re invested in the more ethnic regions of italy after all southern italians are the true ethnic italians any how

The Long Ships by Jack Cardiff is actually a pretty cool ol’ flick with Richard Widmark and Sydney Poitier. Rented it from the library a couple years ago, big fan of both those guys, and Cardiff could always shoot a picture like a painter. I believe Russ Tamblyn is in that one as well. I fondly recall a scene featuring a rather gnarly ancient public torture device, like an inclined razor slide. Also, some great stunt work in a scene where a giant gold bell is rolling down a cliff side, decimating the men working to relay it down the mountain. Good stuff. True Romance is no stinker, either. ;) (In case you don’t know, it’s fucking awesome.)

@@rainasphalt You are the idiot. Are you even a curious person? Do you have any concept of context? QT writes characters. And, Dennis Hopper's character knew two things. He wasn't going to give up his son and it would piss a Sicilian mobster off to point out that the Moors conquered Sicily and changed their appearance like the story said. I can't believe I have to explain this to you. Dude knew he was going to die so he figured to say fuck you and get it done as quick as possible. Do Moors look like NIgerians? No. But, it doesn't matter because that isn't the fucking point.

I was in a tiny cantina on the southern border between Mexico and Belize and I listened to a kid recite this entire scene perfectly, including lighting up and taking drags off an imaginary cigarette. He did just what Tarantino described here, and every last word was perfect. It was quite the experience, I was completely in the bag and knew I would probably pass out on the beach but to this day I remember every second of that kid playing out this scene.
