[@clonexx]

In the lineup scene, they’re all cracking up partly because it’s ad libbed but also because Benicio Del Toro kept farting.

[@waka1834]

They kept getting antsy after lunch and brian singer made them do so many takes until they just did it without laughing and farting and in the end they just used one of the funny ones

[@tomking7080]

That’s true!

[@jentoby73]

There was a clever hint to Soze's identity I didn't notice until a re-watch. When they are preparing to attack the boat, one of the main characters wonders out loud what language the men guarding the boat are speaking, and Verbal replies Hungarian. How could Verbal know it was Hungarian - not exactly a familiar language to most people. Unless you are familiar with that language. As Soze would be!

[@Serai3]

There's an enormous clue as to his identity - if you speak Turkish: "Soze" is Turkish for "verbal". :D

[@Vashjaeger]

There's an even bigger clue when Verbal is being interrogated he says "I did, I did kill Keaton."

[@Veldtian1]

@@Serai3 Whaohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh seriously..

[@Serai3]

@@Veldtian1 Yep. And "Keyser', of course, means "king". So Keyser Soze translates to "King Verbal". I guess the "king" was changed to "Kint" because too many people know that translation, so it would have given the joke away. :D

[@airbender942]

@@Serai3 i remember this one in a comment where a turkish guy said it wasnt a dead giveaway(at least for him) since it's sozel the direct translation for verbal

[@curtquinlan9870]

On re-watch, you notice so many more subtle clues given by Spacey as he tells his story to the detective. It is a masterful performance. He even tells the detective, once a cop thinks he's right you won't change his mind, and his story lets him run with the detective's own incorrect conclusion. Just brilliant!

[@rowdycmoore]

That's the big thing. Kujan wasn't interested in Keyser Sose at the start; he didn't even know of him. He had been obsessed with Keeton for years, so it was very easy for Verbal to manipulate him into believing Keeton was Sose.

[@Serai3]

On rewatch, you can actually see the moment Keyser wins. When Cuyon is yelling at him, telling him "I'm smarter than you and I'm going to get what I want whether you like it or not," look at Keyser's face. You can't see it the first time, but once you know who he is, you can see him trying desperately not to laugh in Cuyon's face. From that moment, he had the cop in the palm of his hand, and manipulated the story beautifully.

[@finris1]

Not to mention that he layers subtle compliments for himself in his fake story. (1) He had Keaton, who was considered the most serious criminal in holding, be the one who vouched for him. (2) He claimed credit for the NYPD taxi service job. (3) He made Redfoot praise him for coming up with that plan, despite it being unlikely that McMannis would have mentioned it over the phone. (4) His actions in the 2nd job where he killed Saul Berg initially look like a screwup, only for Kobayashi to praise him for it. (5) His supposed "crime" agaisnt Soze wasn't simple robbery or theft like the others, but a confidence game, praising his intelligence.

[@AprilGabrielle]

This is one of the best movies ever. Definite classic.

[@chefskiss6179]

There is this quick scene in Eddie Murphy's Dr. Dolottle where he walks into a dog kennel and he can hear what the dogs are saying, all of them talking over each other. At one point a dog shouts "I'm Keyzer Soze" and I just spit my drink out my nose so fast. I had to rewind to double check. Brilliant.

[@SuburbanSavage]

I saw this in the theater and when the reveal happened, the entire audience went bonkers! It was bedlam!

[@yvetterene]

I wish I would have seen this in the theater! I can only imagine how great it was.

[@Serai3]

The identity of the villain was a closely guarded secret and surprised everyone - except anyone who spoke Turkish. "Soze" is Turkish for "verbal". :D

[@OctoKrool]

That is actually insanely clever, holy hell; Turkish people got spoiled right away lol

[@astragalusson]

Actually, I'm Turkish and we weren't spoiled at all because the word "sözel" or "sözlü" (not really "soze") means "verbal" and the way they pronounce it (especially because of the o/ö difference) doesn't really remind us those Turkish words. It sounds like a random foreign name to us. This movie is quite popular among Turkish movie buffs and most love it because of the plot-twist in the end. I've never met anyone who was spoilt because of the name.

[@astragalusson]

@@Berder88 Really? I don't remember that. But they keep pronouncing it closer to Turkish "O" definitely.

[@daynejoseph2366]

It goes even deeper....In jail Verbal tells everyone that he’s called “Verbal” because he "talks too much". The complete name Keyser Söze roughly translates to “King Talk Too Much”. He told the rest of the suspects and the audience he was Keyser when we first met him and we all brushed it off.

[@Serai3]

@@daynejoseph2366 There are so many clues to his identity all through the film, and yet it's so easy to miss them because Spacey's performance is so good. That's why I always tell anyone who sees it the first time to watch it again. It's a different film once you know the answer.

[@celinhabr1]

I recommend "L.A. Confidential", you guys gonna love it.

[@cashflowhustles]

Cool movie. Russell Crowe killed in that.

[@Tyrannulet2k]

Great movie, completely agree! Another two that are really good now that I think about Russell Crowe movies are "Master and Commander" and "The Nice Guys"

[@LilannB]

I saw this movie in the theater in 1995. Back then it played in mostly art house theaters. I was blown away by the twist and ended up seeing the film 20 times in the theater. The Usual Suspects won 2 Oscars for original screenplay and best supporting actor Kevin Spacey.

[@Lenka18s]

Guys, I LOVE that you realized that the reason why you figured it out so early is that since THIS movie came out, every thriller tries to duplicate the magic of this twist... so now days you kinda expect the twist. But man, when I saw this the very first time... mind was blown.

[@yakuza01]

So true. It's like how young people now watch Aliens and go "hey, they ripped it off from so and so video game" LOL

[@danieljohns4519]

There’s a little sly smile that Verbal gives when he realises Agent Cujan wants to catch Keaton.

[@noone8418]

The close up, when the detective walked behind him! I didn’t catch it until my third viewing.

[@hotfriedgriyoandpeeklees1522]

I was so friggin shocked at the end....I had to watch the movie all over again. Amazing twist.

[@alonenjersey]

I myself was speechless when I first this on HBO long ago.

[@brianfantanamcsexpanther9290]

Your closing comments are spot gents, back when this came out, we weren’t used to movies as they are now, this and many other classics from back then, inspired the sort of storytelling we now take for granted, what an incredible feeling watching it for the first time back then, a true work of art.

[@lazarobabich6696]

At the beginning of the movie, Verbal is standing at the entrance to the subway looking at Keaton while holding his cigarette as if he were a villain from some 40's movie, then when Verbal tells the story of Keyser Soze and says that he was Turkish and his father German I learned that Verbal is Keyser!.. this film is a cinematographic gem of the noir police genre

[@comeoninmycoop]

This came out when I was in college and we were OBSESSED. We went to the theater and watched it multiple times.

[@davidstone9624]

The thing that made Verbal innocent was the editing of the boat attack. It showed him far from the other guys...impossible to be the one.... BUT, everything you see is his lie! Great

[@billymuellerTikTok]

saw this one in the theater - when it ended everyone in the audience stood up and gave it a standing ovation. only time I've ever seen that happen in a movie theater

[@Serai3]

The cigarette to the eye was real. Peter Greene was supposed to toss it to hit Baldwin's chest but the flick went wild. The reaction from Baldwin was real, too, as was the other guys holding him back. The whole thing was so good, the director kept it in. The lineup was the same - they spent the whole day filming it and never got a good take because the actors got the giggles from Benicio's farting and never could recover. In the end, the director just chose the least crappy shots and used them. The interesting thing is that all the giggling actually served the scene really well, as it makes it clear both that they all know each other and they do not take the situation seriously at all.

[@egonhomes]

This is a lot like my favorite movie - "The Game" (Michael Douglas, Sean Penn). The ending has a lot of people up in arms, but it's a movie that always has you second guessing yourself. I'd highly recommend a watch.

[@yvetterene]

Such an intense movie. Fantastic! It really gave me things to think about.

[@tomking7080]

Absolutely!!! The Game is such a great movie. I always wondered what the total bill was at the end. It had to be 7 figures,I would imagine.

[@MarshaLove0723]

This is one of my favorite 'repeat' films. I can put it on at any time and have it play in the background while I do other stuff. Heh. If you have a chance, watch it again, with the commentary on. Fantastic commentary.

[@davidmead9617]

“Mystic River” is an Oscar masterpiece ✊

[@orangewarm1]

possibly

[@jhornacek]

I love how they're explaining how they figured out the twist by saying that certain characters acted a suspicious way in certain scenes, but they don't realize that those scenes didn't actually happen. The only things from Verbal's story that we know happened are things that characters outside of that story (the police, Agent Kolian, etc) can verify actually happened. The entire trip to California and what those 5 guys did there - we have no idea if any of that happened, or if they even went to California at all.

[@RealArcalian]

given that the boat blew up in San Pedro CA, they actually did know that the guys went to CA. But more generally your point stands.

[@jhornacek]

@@RealArcalian Right, like I said, only things that characters outside Verbal's story can verify - that boat was blown up, a bunch of guys were killed on the docks, Edie Finnerman was murdered, the original lineup took place - those can all be confirmed by the police, FBI, Customs, etc.

[@RealArcalian]

@@jhornacek yeah but you also said "or if they even went to California at all." which we know they did. But otherwise you are right.

[@3dbadboy1]

I think this was Bryan Singer's first film (before X-Men) and he was in his early 20s. Also, the budget was so low, they basically shoestringed the movie but struck lightning with the cinematographer and the composer of the score. It seems in the making, Singer was so frustrated that he thought it was gonna fail big time, and then it just came together.

[@philipocallaghan]

The narrator is the villain , so you're going to believe everything you hear until proven otherwise! Great concept for a thriller.

This movie only cost $6 million. Gabriel Byrne was the biggest name actor they had at the time. This movie made stars of Spacey and Benicio. I met Kevin Pollak six years ago, had a few drinks, and talked about this movie and some of his others. He signed my copy of the Usual Suspects script, with a pen that Tom Cruise gave him on the set of A Few Good Men. Great dude, funny as hell.

[@marklewen9384]

Kevin spacey was first on the TV show WISEGUY, where he played a heroin kingpin. Great role...

[@pureuncutlakers1010]

LOL, I was in the theater in 1995 to watch this, I was 18. I did not understand what the hell happened but I liked it. The 90s were such a great era for movies. Tarentino started the non linear format (didnt start but started the fad, The Killing might have started it) and our brains just werent thinking that way. Now its everywhere but back then it was very rare. Crazy thing is these movies are more popular now than when they came out. I saw Usual Suspects at a $1.50 movie theater after it had been out for 2 months and I only heard of it by mistake.

[@timothyvandenberg2905]

Yes, I saw this in the theater early in its run in 1995. And yes, we were shitting our brains for how mind-twisting the ending was. This movie was even more mind-blowing than it feels today, because no one knew. But then when it won the academy award for best screen play, we felt validation as an audience for falling in love with this incredibly well-written & executed flick!
