The scene with Hopper and Walken is top ten in film history.

[@91junglecat52]

Abbs-Sol-lootlee !

[@BigBass-xf5yi]

Awesome movie with an even more epic cast. Possibly the best cast ever assembled. Oldman is a cinematic chameleon. Possibly the greatest actor ever.

[@benjaminjonathanjamessisko7095]

This was an early Tarantino script. In the original draft Clarence died at the end of the film. Alabama goes on to become a thief, working with Harvey Keitel's character from "Reservoir Dogs". During his meeting with Joe before the heist, Joe asks Keitel "How's 'Bama?" "True Romance", "Reservoir Dogs" and "Pulp Fiction" are all set in the same universe. John Travolta's character Vincent Vega (Pulp Fiction) and Michael Madsen's character Vic Vega (Reservoir Dogs) are brothers.

[@IvorPresents]

Hardly anyone mentions it, but the score by Hans Zimmer is infectious. It goes against convention yet it works beautifully

[@jeffburnett2392]

There's a youtube video,easy search, of Tarantino talking about Tony Scott it's awesome he just loves everything he does!😊

[@AlleyKatPr0]

That scene was shot reverse shot with Walken and Hopper - Hopper got to shoot his scenes first from his angle, then Walken watched the reactions and used those reactions to use as a reference for how he should act during the next day of shooting. So, day one, they had all the cameras and lighting set up for Hopper and then the second day they relit the set and moved the cameras for Walken's lines and delivery. Tony Scott knew it had the potential to be a great scene and with Hopper and Walken on the screen at the same time, it was worth talking time with those actors to get the best performance he could. RIP Hopper and RIP Scott.

[@mancavemusician]

The Walken, Hopper Scene is probably the most perfect moment in film

[@majormoviemadness9927]

I love it

This channel should be called ‘Two film makers that have never seen the majority of classic films’

[@grilledlettuce1845]

Obviously James Gandolfini is synonymous with Tony Soprano But here we can see how well he played an intensely intimidating character prior to the TV show

[@CousinCreepy]

Natural Born Killers (1994) would be a fun follow up! Thanks for another great reaction gentlemen!

[@tempsitch5632]

The cold-read acting class scene in Barry recreates the Oldman monologue scene hilariously.

[@scottlaughlin9897]

Gary Oldman is hands down my fav. Actor!

[@CHRISMED2]

the amount of superstars in this movie is AMAZING!! Tom Sizemore was so funny in his role " he's gonna shoot him" LOL

[@lukebarton5075]

If you haven’t seen the original “Get Carter” I’d highly recommend it. A British crime/gangster classic. Pretty bleak northern, industrial noir style, with a great lead performance from Michael Caine.

[@steveclapper5424]

I'm glad Tony Scott did this I don't think anyone else could have done it so well. And the cast!! Stand out actors in every scene!

[@tempsitch5632]

“I wish Elvis talked to me” Me too. I got Don Knotts unfortunately.

[@MajorProgress]

LOL, nice!

[@astaboy]

When Gary Oldman was told 'the character is about a white guy who thinks he's black', he took the part immediately!

[@lukebarton5075]

Badlands (1973) would be a great follow up to this. Definitely an inspirational predecessor to this film, right down to the opening voiceover & score.

[@geoffmason7215]

Great storytelling and a golden cast result ....a great time

[@rocsteady83]

top 3 favorite movies everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

[@rabooey]

If one of you(probably Major) hasn't ever seen Carlito's Way(1993), I think it would be a great addition to your reaction collection.

[@TJClark-sw2yz]

Perfect choice for Valentine’s Day. I liked this movie when I first saw it in the theatre. I like it more with each additional viewing. So many great moments. Thanks once again.

[@harvey4512]

I've seen this film two days before my birthday in January such a tarantino twist. The way he start writing the story after directing reservoir dogs

[@thomasripley1548]

My fav. Tarentino movie and yeah I know he only wrote it......I resisted this when it came out because of the title....kept catching parts on HBO then finally saw it and wow.....

[@TheRealAko]

Great film, loved it since it came out.

[@melthebell33]

One of my favourite Tarantino related films, love it

[@richardpoole1770]

The cantaloupe & the Pepsi machine down the hall scenes are my favourite scenes of all time. Great writing and acting.

[@stiofanmac]

i want to see tarantino version of his own script - but at the same time i don't think he could have made it better than the late great tony scott - RIP X

[@tempsitch5632]

“Balki Bartokomos” also killed it in his tiny appearances in Bev Hills Cop (1,2&3)

Thanks a lot guys. I consecutively watched your Godfather, then Fargo , Dr. Strangelove. Lawrence of Arabia , Sexy Beast, and now Embarking on True Romance. I need to get a life. Well , at least I can pass the time like this. Suggestions: Rosemary`s Baby, JFK, Brazil, Amadeus and Ed Wood. RESPECT !

Welcome aboard

[@rebelvinny7661]

So glad to see you guys reacting to this movie and all the movies you do you have a wealth of knowledge and I love watching you guys

[@christopherschreiber5805]

Great pick, fellas. I have a few things and I'll try to keep it short, but I really love this movie so no promises. :) First of all, the cantaloupe line was ad-libbed by Walken. I'm not sure if there was anything originally in the script or not but, as the story goes, he was just picturing Dennis Hopper's head and what his character would like to do it right in that moment and it just came out. I think we can all agree they made the right choice leaving it in. He is TERRIFYING in that scene, and that one little remark brings it home in the best way possible. Is there anyone who can shoot cigarette smoke better than Tony Scott? Don't know how he does it, but somehow it always reminds me of how it billows in rooms with low ceilings, like casinos on cruise ships. What an incredibly perfect thing for your subconscious to say to you at the end of every pep talk if your subconscious is Elvis: "I like you, Clarence. Always have. Always will." Don't know if you guys are aware of it (most people who like this movie are not) but "romance", in literary terms, doesn't NESESSARILY have anything to do with love (sorry to enlighten all you V-day junkies out there). The "truer" definition is an attribute of miracles, or the unlikeliest of good things. Which, when you think about it: 1- Gets rejected by whats-her-name from UNFORGIVEN who's probably twice his age, and then hooks up with Patricia Arquette. 2- Elopes with the prostitute that looks like Patricia Arquette, who he's known for one night, and it actually all works out by the end of the movie. 3- Not only gets out of Drexl's place alive, but actually accomplishes what he went in there to do. 4- Reconciles with his estranged father, who then gives his life to save him. 5- Our three big characters at the meet (Clarence, Alabama, Dick) all survive the big climactic shootout (which, of course, happens at the Beverly Ambassador penthouse), despite two of them being right in the crossfire, and despite the fact that EVERY SINGLE OTHER PERSON INVOLVED dies. 6- Finds a big bag of coke that belongs to the mob, sells it (kind of), manages to duck the mob AND the cops, escapes death by "an inch or two", and lives happily ever with his family in Mexico. When you stop and think about it, the really incredible thing about this film is that it's NOT so ridiculous you can't enjoy it. And you barely notice!

[@kristapendergrassguardascione]

Love the facts ! Good for you man! I totally respect your kept short analysis..lol...you are friend worthy for sure...excellent analysis!

[@christopherschreiber5805]

@@kristapendergrassguardascione Love, love, love this film. Seriously, probably in my all-time top five. Tarantino is a genius. Thanks for reading, and for the kind words!

[@slowerthinker]

Dirty Harry disappeared before I could give my feedback. So i'll say here that I was also a little underwhelmed by it when I first saw it given how entrenched the character had become in pop culture. I was a bit surprised how blind Major was going into it. As a child before I could even name a single Clint Eastwood film I knew of Callahan's most famous lines (one from the first film one from a sequel). Although there may not be animated GIF memes online with the character it has been so very heavily referenced and parodied over the years. Eg: Leslie Nielsen gives an "I shoot the bastard that's my policy" speech in Naked Gun, and there is the classic tv show cop "McGarnagle" in The Simpsons.

A few possibles for you , Boogie nights, starship troopers, spaceballs, Larry flint versus the people, dazed and confused, Rush (1991, NOT the later car film)

Drexel all day long! Gary Oldman can do anything!

I saw Dirty Harry a long time ago and it didn’t look as dark as it does today.

[@majormoviemadness9927]

Someone brought up it was made to be watched on big screen the video doesn’t do it justice, but they should do a restoration

[@ninjavigilante5311]

You can tell right away this is a Quentin Tarantino script because adds kung fu movies in the mix :)

[@Mr_Incognito113]

If you have a ‘thing’ about lighting, you should see Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon if you haven’t already, the lighting is something special

[@jacksmith4460]

Oldman is masterful in this film

IMO the best Tarantino film (other than Pulp Fiction)

As it turns out, against all expectations, it actually WAS white boy day. Gary Oldman is a legend. 5outof5 Drexels!

it was indeed "white boy day", LOL. "white boy week" really. It all ended well for him. Less his left eye.

[@simianinc]

You say the other is random? You should read the regional script. Clarence and Alabama are on the run but you don’t know why. The flashbacks reveal the earlier scenes. Did you point out the Gary Oldman played Drexel? I guess it’s front of mind to me as I just came to this straight from watching a Dark Knight reaction.

[@jasonsolway1719]

[@cornell5230]

YYYYYESSSS!!! I was 23 in 93 and had recently fallen in fuckin love with Gary Oldman as an actor from watching Dracula all summer and the trailer for this was constant!! I COULDNT wait to see Oldman again!! Andj Sorry I spaced names ri opportunity ht now just ì Ok little kid on the right, I was just about to make a comment using fake driving steering wheels, then fuckin Rich Dicky demonstrates. I was about to comment on your fake weasel typing!! Hilarious mannn!! This movie, I went to see on my 23 birthday because once I turned 18 I bipassed the birthday dinner and started my own traditions, like goin to the matine movie time for fewer people. I'd sit in my truck listening to SOUNDGARDEN , drinking beers before a couple hits of weed had me tuned in for the movie.😎✌️🤪 It quickly became a favorite thanks to Oldman's performance but was later confirmed through my anthem OUTSHINED by my boy Chris Cornell SOUNDGARDEN. My other fave from that time , POINT BREAK. Hint

[@gog583]

Didn't Brad Pitt get an Oscar for his role in this? lol

The Sicilian use of the word eggplant is a derogatory term for a black man.

[@jacksmith4460]

The Walken / Hopper scene, might be the best scene in Gangster movie history, in terms of acting, but yeh the N word is on rapid fire in that scene, but that is not why I like it, its about the eye contact between Hopper and Walken, says more than any of the lines
