The Psychopathy of Teddy Bass - Ian McShane in Sexy Beast

Restaurant scene with McShane & Winstone best acting & scene in the film IMHO.
Unfortunately have to keep these under 5 mins to avoid blocking, hence lack of his other scenes here. PART TWO HERE - • The Psychopathy of Ted...

[@TheScoppie]

When Gel swears, it’s a callback to Don’s question: “Why are you swearing, I’m not swearing?” Teddy’s face instantly freezes as soon as the “fucking” comes out of Gel’s mouth, because he knows Gel is frightened, is trying to hide something and is using bravado to try and appear bold. It’s a wonderful touch in a script that’s awash with swearing the rest of the time - it’s the LACK of swearing that denotes the true gangster in this situation.

[@jacksmith4460]

I always found McShane's character far more frightening than Kingsley's. Teddy is the kind to kill whilst smiling at you (or shortly after), at least Don was a c*nt and loud with it, you would more likely know about it, Teddy, you would never know, you'd just be going to your car one evening and get either stabbed or shot by some paid killer whilst you looked for your keys

What makes this scene for me is the great acting by Ray Winstone anticipating McShane and what he is about to ask him and then trying to stay casual eating his breakfast to distract his nerves and noisely cutting his food

[@nihilistcentraluk442]

True.I didn't think much of Ray Winstone after some awful films but this is a reminder he was a very capable actor in this type of role.Everybody rages about Ben Kingsley understandably but all the acting in this film even the minor parts is top class and this creates the scenes for Don Logan. The sense of fear and unease the cast creates is memorable

When people told me about this film, I wasn't convinced that Sir Ben Kingsley and Ian McShane could be convincing as gangsters. I couldn't have been more wrong, they are both superb (as is the rest of the cast) but Don Logan and Teddy Bass are two of the scariest characters I've seen on film

@@wesleydesot4904Don Logan’s sister made me laugh and cry!

[@TheGiua1973]

I guess there's a reason they called Teddy "Mr. Black Magic." How he handled Gal and Don. He made sure Don was dead and not an issue and in the process, put Gal in his debt by sparing his life & also making him an accomplice to murder. Not to mention, he knew everything about what happened to Don which he could also use as leverage against Gal. When Teddy tells Gal near the end of the film, "I must come by and pay my respects," I took it to mean that if Teddy wanted Gal's services in the future, he'd have Gal by the balls.

[@Ditka-89]

Good insight. I always wondered why he didn’t just kill Gal. Gal killed his right hand man-seems like a pretty unforgivable offense in the gangster code of ethics. Pair the debt of being spared and becoming an accomplice, and Gal probably has no choice to turn down any jobs in the future. This movie was rife for a sequel.

[@jacksmith4460]

@@Ditka-89 It did not fit his purpose, Teddy truly did not give a shit about Don, well, not enough to take revenge. That's not how Teddy works, he has something over Gal now, and if he chooses revenge it will be later down the line anyway. Gal is potentially useful to Teddy in the future, and he knows he has leverage on him now. He also knows Gal is scared to hell of him and he will jump if he says so. Teddy truly is a psychopath, he does not care about anyone around him, and see's everyone as tools, unlike Don he is smooth , slick and charming. Don is more a sociopath, and has a strange streak of loyalty through him, that has been warped and twisted perhaps for a very long time, Teddy does not have that. From Teddy's psycho POV, Don was just a useful "heavy" to send in to shit people up,or do a particularly violent undertaking, plus he could lead through fear, but he ultimately was too outwardly aggressive and abrasive. Teddy is savvy and knows how to mix it with high society. Don had his uses, but Gal is highly skilled, and therefore to Teddy, he is very useful,and him killing Don is leverage for him to use. That's my guessing anyway

[@tomd2103]

I think the "pay my respects" line was a warning to Gal that Teddy knew where he was and could get to him at anytime. I think it becomes clear by the end that Teddy knows Don is dead and that Gal had some part to play in it. That means he now has Gal where he wants him.

[@TimeTraveller3256]

Quality film 🎥 Lovejoy has come along way, he plays the part well and he genuinely appears pretty scary individual for sure. I'm surprised Ian McShane doesn't get alot more work. Mr Winston lives about 1 mile from me aswell I have thought of ringing his door but it would just fuck him off I bet haha

[@RikerLovesWorf]

One of the scariest film scenes of all time and it's just two guys sitting at a table while one of them eats a steak and the other one just looks at him with a grin.

[@sydclark5581]

The parts where Teddy asks Gal about Dons disappearance are good, but overlooked by the drive to the airport (for whatever reason), which IMO are more sinister. As Teddy knows something went on but his personal greed let's him overlook it, as he gets Gals and Dons share 😉. Theres no loyalty amongst thieves, especially when loot is being divided up. BTW, I didn't realise this was a two part clip. They covered my point perfectly in part 2 😉

[@albo2591]

You haven’t got a clue what ya on about and ya looking far too deep. Teddy never did the job for greed, he did it to prove he could, it was an ego trip .. why do you think he murdered the guy after robbing his business ? The whole job was a massive fuck you to a guy who thought he was untouchable .. he took gal along on the murder so he can never settle down comfortably abroad, he will forever worry about being linked to that murder and that’s his punshment for lying to mr black magic himself lol

god they both look so young ,top actors great film

[@DanielHoneyball-v5c]

There are not many people that can make Ray look genuinely afraid, but Ian McShane’s character did just that!!

Best British gangster film EVER

[@markstoneman1585]

Mcshane is a magnificent actor

[@mac651000]

The most terrifying gangster in film history. In my opinion.

[@Crichjo32]

He's only in a handful of scenes, but it's a performance that chills to the bone and one you won't forget.

3:35 the little hand movement by Ray Winstone there is genius. We know he's scared, Teddy Bass knows he's scared and Gal is trying his hardest to cover it so much that he doesn't know what to do with his own hands, we've all been there and it's such a clear giveaway that he's terrified. He can't even remember what to do with a cigarette, something a smoker does purely from memory

[@garethgill1]

So much going on at 2:33 onward. Making him move his bag, flex. Bringing the enforcer to listen.

[@RJMacReady1]

It strikes me that it feels like this movie is filmed like a horror flick. Its not your usual glamourizing goodfellas style gangster movie. Some of the shots almost kinda remind of possession with sam neill - an absolutely insane movie.

HE's cutting and prepping the next bite before he's even done with the first,, trying to be not nervous, but appearing to almost choke on the food.

[@brendancronin3796]

Ben kingsleys character was way ahead of its time ...when they pulled him over not putting the cigarette on the plane he claimed he'd been touched up and assaulted ..lol ...and the look on the their faces when he said that ...which was basically " get this fucking guy out of here "... proper funny

It's a good thing Ted didn't give a solitary fuck about Don.

He's also great in what could be classed as a prequel (could anybody confirm and have a conversation about this?) to Sexy Beast; 44 Inch Chest.

Ian McShane plays great villains etc trouble is for my generation he is also LoveJoy a roguish antiques dealer from Sunday night TV 🙂

Why all the hate on Guy Ritchie in these comments? As far as dialogue is concerned, in Snatch, Bullet tooth Tony and Brick Top had some of the best lines in cinematic history! Give credit where it's due *DAMN!*
