Mean Streets | Gang Fight at the Pool Hall | Warner Classics

[@RichWeigel]

This must have been around the time that Richie took the jacket off the toughest guy in Essex County.

[@Pbadome1]

Hah, I thought so. You saved me from googling. Classic movie, 1972 Mean Streets where I first heard the word "Mook" and have been using it since. Keitel was the star, Deniro was just starting. The following year Deniro was in Taxi Driver and Harvey Keitel was basically a nobody in that movie.

[@ShlomoGoldbergStein]

A brawl with no resulting blood, bruises, scratches, or ripped clothing…

[@paulmeredith4515]

Yep. But I’ll bet everything I own that calling a man like that, in a place like that, “a mook,”which is prison for homosexual btw, would result in a beating

[@RidgeRunner-lz5ko]

Scorcese got a lot better at violen ce in his films.

To be fair not every fight ends up in shredded clothes and gallons of blood pouring out.

[@cane6074]

Like the part with the guy playing pool and acting like that nothing is wrong. Also, Martin Scorsese has a unique genius when comes using music in his films to fit scenes and mood, and it dose not come of as a gimmick unlike a lot of filmmakers.

[@michaelmorrow9048]

This is Scorsese’s best film. His most authentic one.

[@azohundred1353]

Robert De Niro and Harvey Keitel's character's watching The Searchers in the movie theater in Mean Streets is a nice tip of the hat from Martin Scorsese to John Ford(one of his biggest directorial influences). Both of them are now legendary filmmakers.

[@Pbadome1]

If you remember, Scorsese's mother was in this one too.

I have witnessed a lot of real life bar fights and this one was actually the most realistic in a movie...right up until the cops showed up out of nowhere. The police NEVER show up until after the fight is long over.

[@dirtbag3736]

[@CaneFu]

@@dirtbag3736 That was pure movie BS

[@CutsCity413]

You got into it with a bunch of girl scouts if it looked like that haha ga y est fight scene I have seen in a while

[@CaneFu]

@@CutsCity413 Obviously you have never witnessed any real fights because they all look just as chaotic and unskilled as these guys did. FYI, I spent 4 years as a bouncer in a large bar and all technique goes out the window in a bar fight even if the participants know martial arts. Every Hollywood movie I have ever seen with a bar fight is nothing but ridiculously unrealistic choreography.

[@damienholland9244]

@@CaneFu I don't get into fights or nothing but I agree. When I see guys fighting almost always they're wildly swinging their fists like that. Guys with a lot of training might be different but they're the exception. Also a lot of fights end up on the ground if the first punches don't knock anyone out.

[@Newjerseyblows]

I love how Jimmy immediately jumps on him after he punched his friend 😂 Also DeNiro did such a good job at making this fight scene look real

[@sammihaka2056]

Even Martie's movie cameos were scary in Mean Streets and Taxi Driver; must've been due to "practicing" all those lines.

"Davis, how 'bout I give you some car fare". "Ok" "Took you long enough, where you going?" "Jersey" he gives him money then "Philadelphia" Only Scorsese. If you remember this movie, Scorsese is the one that shot Johnny Boy (Deniro) in this movie in a cameo.
