John Malkovich and Clint Eastwood

2 classic scenes from the movie "In The Line of Fire"

[@IvanBunny]

Not many actors can put across real palpable emotion. Damn Malkovich nailed this scene to the wall.

[@vipahman]

Malkovich brings raw energy into any sentence even if his line was just one word like "Coffee!".

[@mrbitties9270]

@@vipahman he rly embraces his character and becomes that person he’s portraying. Malkovich could have won an oscar from this scene alone. Best acting ive literally ever scene ;)

[@souprchrgd]

Malkovich was in rare form in this scene.

[@davsny5]

Malkovich owned Eastwood in this scene which is a very difficult thing to do with one of the best actors ever, he is amazing.

[@jim6820]

Heard he’s a real real nice guy in real life.

[@BritishSexComedy]

Malkovich is just stunning in the phone scene of this clip.. One of my favourite scenes of any film, awsome acting

[@LM-mq2pj]

Exactly. He's the main reason I rewatch this movie

[@Locadel2003]

One of the best phone conversations in movie history. Excellent acting by both, malkovich best perfomance ever

[@Bundy72]

Absolutely true, but don't forget Phone Booth.😊

[@davsny5]

Or the Mothman Prophecies

[@nams0001]

"Do you have any idea what I've done for God and country!!" Some how this line stuck in my head for almost 20 yrs....

[@macallanvintage]

Your “god” is just a small part of your family-created and govt-enhanced fantasy.

[@dingkoda9409]

@@macallanvintage You have to make a choice to believe bro. Just recently, 3 people in my household got d covid-19 with symptoms severe enough, they can't go to work. I gotta take care of them, while fighting my own milder symptoms. I didn't get as sick as my family members. I believe that was God's protection. You can choose to dismiss that. But I choose to believe....

[@macallanvintage]

Ding Koda “Belief” can also be self-delusion. Humans are selfish. When good things happen, they concoct stories to attribute it to “god”. When shit hits the fan, they concoct stories saying its a test or due to sin or the “will of Allah”. Self-denial due to being brainwashed.

[@dingkoda9409]

@@macallanvintage If believers wanna be selfish, they will exalt themselves not God. Hence the word self in selfish. A bad situation is not coming from God. For God is good, ALL the time. Bad things happen because we live in a fallen world or because of the evils in men's hearts. God is not mad at us any more. He loved us so much He let His only Son to die for our sins. We live under grace now, since Jesus'ascension to heaven. Have faith & keep up doing your good works... I'm not brainwashed. I know because I have doubts from time to time. I have to make a conscious choice to stay in faith. To be optimistic not pessimistic. To be courageous instead of be afraid & quit. It's a sober battle in my mind. Brainwashed people will just follow what their bodies or emotions tell them. They will just follow the flow instead of stand strong in the faith...

[@karazor-el6085]

The villain from UNDER SIEGE, Strannix (Tommy Lee Jones) had a similar line: Casey Ryback: "What happened to you?" Strannix: "I got TIRED...of finding LAST-MINUTE SOLUTIONS to IMPOSSIBLE PROBLEMS...created by OTHER F*CKING PEOPLE."

[@BenGarman]

That second scene is one of my favourites of all time. "You are alive because I have allowed you to live, so you show me some God damn respect!"

[@chicago6584]

Greatest hang-up of all time! I'm gonna do this to my wife next time she calls me when I go out after work lol

[@Whyistomatoafruit]

I love this scene, especially the way Malkovich says "Uh, the address?? Come on Frank..." lol

[@tinafoster8665]

Yes like "you want me to call you a cab Frank, make sure you get there on time" lol

[@Number1Dougster]

Malkovich should have won the Oscar for this. NO question about it!

[@justicejakober5506]

Yeah but he needs to be nominated first

[@tannerrichards8287]

He was nominated for best supporting actor but didn’t win it unfortunately

[@LM-mq2pj]

​@@tannerrichards8287Yep. Tommy Lee Jones did for the Fugitive. I like TLJ, but he wasn't as good as Malkovich

[@PlunderRoad]

This film needs physical release from Kino or Criterion. Best film of its genre IMO.

[@BritishSexComedy]

Absolutely awsome performance by Malkovich... One of the best scences in a film of all time

[@originaltommy]

I remember when I first saw this upon release, this scene blew me away. When Malkovich explodes....."Goddamn Respect!!!!" it literally sent shivers through my entire body!!!!!

[@smileyscrubs2262]

True, his shouting is terrifying,

[@JAZZSTARish]

Classic film saw it back in the theatres. I still quote it. My Freshman English teacher looked like John.

[@chuckselvage3157]

"Show me SOME GODDAMN RESPECT" Malkovich could pull off terrifying rage so well.

[@a55kiker]

It's the demented smile after he says it that gets me...

[@GJones462-2W1]

"We can't have monsters roaming the quiet countryside, now can we?" Great scene.

[@FINALLYOUTAFTER7]

They created the monster.

[@DBarns7]

Booth: "I see you Frank... I see you standing over the grave of another dead president". No matter how many times I hear that line, it always chills my blood. Malkovich was terrific in this movie, but then again he's a great actor. One of the best thriller movies ever made. Thanks for sharing.

[@joshtj44]

The last 10 seconds make me stand up and applaud lol...geez....beautiful acting.

[@darkjedi7]

"We're not friends", "Sure we are".... .... "i've seen what u did to your friends", "u slit their throat" Love that part of conversation!

[@loganstolberg2743]

Hands down best scene in the movie!

[@casheasy]

That phone conversation was a classic scene. Two great actors bringing the movie forward into a taut thriller. Eastwood and Malkovich both rocked in this movie. "You have a roundezvouz with my ass, motherfucker."

[@posterboy3460]

"Why did you kill that bird, asshole?" Epic comment on the human behaviour. There are so many references in this movie to the demise of humans.

[@LM-mq2pj]

Love that line!

[@retroguitarmaster]

I really liked Malkovich in this movie because his character had many layers and wasn't a one dimensional villain, he could be a cunning psychopath at one point, but then you see this side where he was aggravated because a duck got killed or when he killed the woman from Minneapolis and her roommate but left her dog intact, it is implied that he has a fondness for animals but not addressed directly and that makes him so much interesting and enigmatic.

[@LM-mq2pj]

And he doesn't kill just for the sake of killing. In each case, he killed bc he knew those people could be the weak link in ruining his cover

[@PeterFields18]

Malkovich received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor for this film...well deserved.

[@GreenGoblinsOckVenom]

"They sent my best friend, my comrad, in arms, to my house to kill me! I have never lied to you, Frank and I never will!" The oscar worthy scene. Both he and Ralph Fienesse were more deserving than Tommy Lee Jones.

[@ujoepost]

I agree

[@yourdaddy6030]

Ralph Fienesse?? Maybe you should learn how to spell before commenting.

[@MikeD429]

show me some GOD DAMN RESPECT!!!!!!!! Malkovich does a great job in this role.

[@coldplayjp]

he is such a great actor. i love him. =]

[@BlueLeopard200]

I like this movie a lot One of my favourite films

[@haytionette]

Yes, it is one of the best movies ever made imo. great villain and great hero and great plotline. A ctually they both are both hero and villain.

[@williamharrell9305]

[@detroitMC313]

Every word he says is like pure art.

[@MrHopeTelevision]

i never see that line coming, the intensity is phenomenal

[@felsner1]

You're right - love how Booth finally snaps, while Frank remains calm! The roles are completely turned around.

[@physicalgenius]

You gotta love the smile Malkovich ends the line with..."I see you standing over the grave of another dead president." :)

[@r5t6y12]

At the very end of this video; Malkovich: "So you show me some GOD DAMN RESPECT". I thought this guy was nuts the 1st time I saw this scene. Now I'd act like that myself if I was in the same situation as him.

[@Malkovich90]

John Malkovich is the best actor !! He know how to do the stuff !!!

[@1964amante]

john m. my most favorite coolest,simplest actor i've ever seen! he is the best in every angle shots, he simply domains, i wish i could be like him someday,somehow..

[@arnoldbass8709]

You know how many times I've watched u go and in out of that apartment your alive because I allowed u to live So u show me some goddam respect!!!

[@hankheavy]

John Malkovich owns this whole movie. I love Clint but in this movie he got nothin' on Malkovich!

[@eyez718]

Man...this scene is everything!

[@aliab2295]

" that is great, that is really great!! "

[@aidy202]

Amazing acting from John Malkovich

[@JJBGaming__YT]

Incredible performance by John Malkovich 👏

[@fennel85]

SO YOU SHOW ME SOME GOD DAM RESPECT HAS GOT 2 BE 1 OF THE BEST MOVIE LINE EVER ,,,MALKOVICH IS A BLOODY GREAT ACTOR

[@olaoluwaafolayan6554]

You _almost_ feel sorry for Malkovich here; that’s how convincing his acting was in this scene! This is where the humanity in his character finally emerges from underneath the shell of a seemingly heartless monster! This scene was undoubtedly Malkovich’s Oscar moment! Very powerful acting here!

[@LM-mq2pj]

Exactly. That's what is so brilliant about the character. You believe him when he talks about how the government destroyed him

[@fearsomename4517]

Respect is earned. John Malkovich earned mine with his great performance in this film. Both were great, but John stole the show.

[@gman8471]

That expression he does at 1:19 is classic!

[@mjfreaklove]

John Malkovich,I will always love and admire you,u are the best,your actings are awesome!!!I will always respect you,no matter what,you're still the best in my heart!!! All my love 4 Johnny!!!;)

[@tommyt1971]

Best line of the movie is in the elevator toward the end: Do you believe in the nobility of suicide? No, but if you wanna blow your goddam head off, go ahead, be my guest! Makes me laugh every time!

[@FuShengAlex]

there's a part where clint has a gun point at malkovich but he's hanging from the building ledge and if he uses 1 hand to shoot he'll loose his grip and fall to his death. malkovich taunts him and allows clint's gun to be put in his mouth and dares him to release the trigger,lol. mitch leery is probably my favourite all-time movie villian. he was diabolical and likeable at the same time.

[@rastaman36]

John Malkovich is one of the best actors of all time

[@natalieps2387]

Wow what a scene. We learn so much about mitch & it's pretty scary how right he is if someone is willing to lose their life to kill someone else. On that basis anything is possible. When he talks about how his own country trained him to do some really horrible things one can only imagine. Now that hes gone rogue & cant control him I love that line about " wr cant have monsters roaming the countryside. The govt had him do all their dirty work them cut him loose when they didnt need him anymore. They sound like the maffia sending his best friend to kill him & when he defends himself he is suddenly considered an enemy. I can only guess he started to go off script & he knew too much. He also shows his god complex with how he says he could kill him at any time but is alive only bc he allowed it. When he screams at the end its pretty scary. Makes u think who is the real threat mitch a guy that they trained to do monstrous things & manipulated to think it was for " god & country " then wanted him murdered. Also sad when he says " we both once thought this was a pretty special place " but now he knows better. To find out the country u love & respect has certain really evil people running things.

[@tinafoster8665]

It is, these movies almost make a joke out of things like that when in reality that's the way that the system runs things. You either get on board or you get killed, that's basically the corporate Way

[@detroitMC313]

1:20 - His facial expression is priceless.

[@MNRick041]

"We can't have monsters roaming the quiet countryside now can we?"

[@tiagocampos26]

4:38 - 4:40 LOOOOOOOOOOL that phone call shows two fantastic performences!!

[@detroitMC313]

John Malkovich's face at 1:20 is priceless!!!

[@hittheheadlines2942]

"What do you see when you're in the dark ...?" "I see you, Frank" Great comeback line 😂 😂 😂

[@coluk32]

John Malkovich plays a excellent part in this film 10/10.

[@blueygit07]

after seeing this clip i really want to see this movie x!!

[@illflip]

this is truly acting at its very finest

[@MikeMJPMUNCH]

I love that up to this point Leary has been so in control but then Frank is able to finally get under his skin and you really see his angry and understand why he wants to kill the president.

[@hawaiisown50]

"Damn, now I gotta put all this shit back on godamn it!"

[@midcitygym]

Malkovichs' best role - brilliant.

[@ouralphe]

" do you have any idea of wait I done for God and country?" We do, we do.

[@phibeslives4048]

I think Malkovich would've made a fantastic Francis Dolarhyde.

[@phibeslives4048]

I also think Kevin Spacey borrowed (perhaps heavily) from this performance, for his portrayal of "John Doe" in Seven. Some of his lines in that film are very reminiscent of this scene, as well.

[@posterboy3460]

I do agree!

[@Twohumansonebody]

John Malkovich i so coolish in this movie, gosh you have to love him for it! ps. my english sucks bigtime xD

[@Zollaganzi]

the best movie ever

[@IamNightRot]

I could watch the hunters scene 24/7 😄

[@Kevin_40]

This movie is epic.

[@ss-oq9pc]

My God. The acting is too powerful here.

[@basils6746]

I Don’t Wanna Hear One Word Out Of You And Don’t Say Another Word Perfect

"mind if i give her a little dance?" haha

[@mjfreaklove]

I will always love and respect you John,you are my favourite actor and the best movie performer ever!!! Keep the faith,forever!!! >:)>:)>:) MORPHINE.

[@jacktorrance9255]

Holy shit! I've never seen this movie. But when Frank asked him what he saw in the dark. I said out loud. I see you Frank before Mitch said it. I guess pyschos think alike.

[@jmac2500]

best fucking clip i've seen in a long time

[@uchejadore]

John Malkovich was the star of this movie for me.

[@tiagocampos26]

yeah that too! Simple things that clint eastwood say makes me laugh too, like when lily leaves the room when they were about to have sex: "damn lily....I gotta put all that shit back on god damnit"

[@JayeMallard619]

I think it's those scenes that John was asked in an interview if he and Clint were really talking to each other when filming them, and he said yes, but that only one of them would be shooting at a time... So when Clint would film his sides of a conversation, he would be reading for him from his hotel room in his pyjamas... ;)

[@Tigerman1138]

I've always loved this movie. Wonderful film and Malkovich is so excellent in the whole movie. Love the scene with the hunters... SCARY....when the hunters realize he's not kidding. There was some other movie where the villian talks to the good guy on the phone in several scenes. Anyone remember which it is?

[@yourdaddy6030]

Phone booth?

[@fennel85]

SO YOU SO ME SOMEGOD DAMN RESPECT.LOVE THAT LINE

[@patrickhardy8239]

Here's the reason it isn't a flaw. When the President visits a location, he will have a VERY full day. From 6AM to 9 or 10PM he will be delivering speeches to large numbers of donors, going to smaller meetings with key constituents, meeting local and state party-bosses in fancy restaurants or conference rooms, giving presentations (no press) to 30-40 powerful people. He is also traveling so much, and Leary could get him from a distance with a sniper rifle, or could disguise himself as a cop.

[@mensahcarrelle]

9 persons need to show some godamn RESPECT !!!!

[@detroitMC313]

"Smart and and willing. That's all it takes."

[@tinafoster8665]

"You have a rendezvous with my a$$ m*****f*****!" "Frank I could have killed you ANY time, and I STILL COULD, so you SHOW ME SOME G*D D*MN RESPECT!" Malkovich and his Leary character does THE BEST PSYCHO conversation I've ever seen

[@grayboro4life]
