How can I watch this when I call I think about is Arcane :/

Poddington

"The Untouchables" should be the name for Cinebinge Patreons :D

Odd Thomas

My favourite part is when MC Hammer pops during the big shootout

Odd Thomas

For more Costner: JFK & Waterworld De Niro: Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994), Midnight Run Connery: I think we can all agree his best film was The Avengers (1998)

Young Blood Priest

😂 My parents were young in the 30s so I know no one talked like “yeah see!” Whenever you hear that it’s someone imitating an actor named Edward G. Robinson who was in several gangster movies in the 30s and had a distinctive speech pattern.

JayF

George - "'That staircase scene was crazy." I saw this when it came out and that scene is one that I remember in detail all these years later. Also, for a similar setting I really hope you two will now get to "The Sting" with Redford and Newman.

Kyle Baker

Great movie, but since you asked, most of this movie is made up.

Odd Thomas

The train station shootout was an homage to Battleship Potemkin, a iconic silent film with a pram falling down stairs. Snakes Eyes may not be De Palma's best, but it's very stylish and has Nic Cage and Carla Gugino. The Black Dahlia (also De Palma) is good but more for the true story than the actual film.

Ricardo Alanis

Definitely recommend JFK for more Costner. Also the stroller scene was parodied in one of the Naked Gun movies.

John

Andy Garcia is great in When a Man Loves a Woman also staring Meg Ryan, and Hero starring Dustin Hoffman and Geena Davis

Darin Foat

You guys should absolutely watch Midnight Run. And for what I personally think is Costner's best performance, Bull Durham.

REDR58

If I hear a car alarm in my small town I’ll take notice and look, but if it’s in a crowded place I doubt I’d bother. If you’re worried about paperwork and that’s a deterrent to stealing a car, then you’re not serious about stealing the car.

Martin

In the intro, I think Simone was confusing Al Capone with Jimmy Hoffa, lol.

Mike FromOz

If you'd like to watch some other 1920's - 30's themed gangster movies, I can whole heartedly recommend "Miller's Crossing" by the Coen brothers (yep, the same director/writers of "Raising Arizona"). It's possibly their best film and has some of the best writing and characterisation of this kind of genre. It's their magnum opus, and yes that even includes "No Country for Old Men".

REDR58

Other excellent De Palma movies are “Dressed to Kill” (1980), “Blow Out” (1981), “Body Double” (1984), “Casualties of War” (1989) and “Carlito's Way” (1993) (all of which I have so watch them!).

Monica Alarcon

I really hope you watch Naked Gun 3 not long after because of.... reasons...

D. T. Nelson

Okay... not knowing who Kevin Costner is is weird. I was positive you guys had reacted to his movies in the past, but I went back and checked and the only one I found you'd seen was Man of Steel, where he played Clark Kent's (Earth) father. SO... you guys absolutely need to see the following movies: Field of Dreams, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, Waterworld, Bull Durham, The Postman, Tin Cup, Thirteen Days, JFK, Open Range, Hidden Figures, and Dances with Wolves (which Costner also directed). This is by no means a complete list of must see Costner movies, but it should give you a wide range of his abilities (Granted, the range is narrow, but deep—he pretty much plays himself in everything) However, in one of these you get to hear his terrible British accent, and you get to see some fantastic (and iconic if less-than-stellar films) along the way. Oh, and Simone... I believe the person who "disappeared" that you are thinking of is the notorious leader of the Teamsters Union (who served as head of the union from 1957-1971)—Jimmy Hoffa (There is a 1992 movie about him starring Jack Nicholson called Hoffa.)

Christopher Feiertag

Enjoyable as always! May I suggest Martin Scorseses “Casino” as your future “Mob movie”-pick? Greetings from Germany, Chris

TGrimace

"The reporter is working for the bad guys", "Malone is going to betray them", "The accountant might be bad", and my favorite "DECOY BABY" Some people are suspicious. Some people are paranoid. Simone is making a tinfoil hat to block out the rays.

Brian's Dog

In the US it's more the Catalytic Converter that gets stolen nowadays because it has a little bit of precious metals than the whole car stolen. Instead of the car alarm a lot of people weld a small cage underneath around the catalytic converter. At the very least you can still drive after it's stolen usually, but it's super loud.

Brandon

My thoughts on car alarms: Whether the owner turns off the alarm, or the thief gets away with the car - I don't care, I just want it to stop. Speaking of Jimmy Hoffa... a reaction of 'The Irishman' would be awesome. Also JFK for another great movie starring Costner.

Eddy V Ruiz II

I think you should check awards from some of the movies you watch. On several occasions you have commented "*** did so good in this role" and they won an Academy Award for that role. Usually a best supporting type Oscar. in this case Connery. You also act so surprised when a movie is "Soooo Goood" and it was the best picture winner or at least nominated. The Oscars IMHO now are a political s*** show, but there was a time when they were spot on. At least nominating the outstanding achievements. Don't get me started about Shakespeare in Love and Savingf Private Ryan.

Tony E Crumpton

Both sides of an ax (or axe depending on where you live) have a purpose. One is for chopping and one is for hammering or bashing like a sledge. As any good ax murderer will tell you (not me), it's best to use the sledge side to bash in brains instead of using the blade end, which can get stuck in bones and be difficult to pull back out. There are double-bladed axes designed only for chopping, flipping it around to use the sharp edge when the other edge gets dull, meaning you don't have to stop to sharpen it. I'm not sure why I felt so compelled to write about George's ax question when there is so much to mention about this fantastic film.

I think my favourite Andy Garcia movie is Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead.

Skyruff

Real life. Capone was seen as a national disgrace. The President made it clear he wanted it dealt with. A small group of people looked into it. They planned to take Capone down on tax / fiscal issues. They needed time so Ness was asked to "take down" Capone but was really meant to harass and distract Capone from what the rest were really looking into. Ness know all along what his job was. This is a great movie but has little to do with real life.

Christian Rennie

I really do love the movies that dramatize this era of American history. I think my fav Costner film is Silverado when his voice acting is much different as he is laughing and acting wild or a little loopy. Did George misspeak when he said, "Did Kevin Costner always sound like this....."? I think he meant Sean Connery's voice that is always the same in every movie and how jarring it was as a Lithuanian that sounded Scottish. But for sure Costner's voice is the same in pretty much every movie. I have the same feeling with Tom Hanks. Hank's voice to me is just Hank's voice no matter what role he is portraying. But, I think a good movie in the Prohibition Era is "Road to Perdition" (2002), great cast, score, and aesthetic. Definitely worth the watch/reaction.

Deco

Kevin Costner aka Jimmy mcgill

Skyruff

In real life Capones lawyers did turn on him but not as seen in the movie. They just let the notebook evidence that could have easily been thrown out, stand as evidence against Capone. They did this on purpose but in such away that Capone would not know what they did.

John

I would say the US war on drugs from 1972-present has been on par with Prohibition in terms of negative consequences. I would recommend thinking back to the Wire and specifically Hamsterdam in season 3 David Mamet also wrote the Screen play for Ronin a great movie with Robert De Niro and Sean Bean

Justtired

I hope you watch a few more Kevin Costner films. Personally, I want you to watch Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves just for your reaction to his, umm, performance. 🤣

My partner’s catalytic converter was stolen from her VW last year but fortunately the CC on my car is a real pain to get to!

My 1987 Pontiac Grand Am was targeted by a would-be car thief in the 1990s but all he managed to do after ripping the lock cylinder out of the door was to damage the steering column so severely in the attempt to get the car going that he rendered it undrivable. That was a real pain in the ass at the time. That goodness I don’t have to park on the street in the city anymore.

sahliente

JFK and Bull Durham are two must see Costner movies.

djKENTO

So in the 50s The Untouchables was a tv series and this movie is more of a remake of that tv show than it is a real telling of the actual events. Fun fact, this movie was successful enough to spawn a second short lived TV show in the 90s where Malone was played by… GIMLI HIMSELF JOHN RHYS DAVIES! Trading in a highlander for a dwarf. If you want a REALLY crazy Capone movie for Cinecringe, look no further than CAPONE starring Tom Hardy and directed by the truly terrible Fantastic Four film director Josh Trank. It’s about his final years when he as losing his marbles thanks to syphilis. It was the last thing RedBox spent money on before they went belly up. That’s how bad it is… it was distributed by Redbox… yikes.

Rachel W

This film is overrated imo.

Gary Fixler

I can sort of support Simone's theory of not wanting to be around the car alarm sound, because someone's alarm went off in the beach parking lot when I was in college, and everyone was trying to help them turn it off, and I'm a little bit technical, and I was interested, so I went over. They finally popped the hood, and I stood in front of it, trying to figure out where it was, and how it was hooked in, and it's like being up against the speakers at a rock concert. The weird thing is that after a minute, the woo-woo noise started to sound like a man yelling YOY-YOY-YOY! Over and over. It took us like 10 minutes to finally turn it off, and then my hearing was bad for a while. I think good thieves just break in and turn it off in 15 seconds, but no incompetent thief is going to want to stick around with that sound, so at least you got that going for you.

Simon Pegged Me

Someone else recommended it as a more realistic portrayal of Nitti; I'd like to recommend it, Road to Perdition (2002), for what Tom Hanks called his attempt to portray a bad guy.

REDR58

Fun reaction from you both! The music is by the Italian composer Ennio Morricone who composed music for such films as Kill Bill and The Hateful Eight, and a vast number of others. In the scene with the little girl, she is carrying a “beerpail” and the bartender fills it with beer (from the script: https://neotextcorp.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/UNTOUCHABLES-THE-1986.05.05-draft-by-David-Mamet.pdf) Eliot Ness’ wife is simply listed in the credits as “Ness’ Wife” but her name is “Catherine” as he calls her that once in the movie. The “Flying Squad” is mentioned when Ness is being introduced to the police at the beginning. “Flying Squad” is “a police unit formed to respond quickly in an emergency” (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/flying%20squad) That was the undercover treasury agent who was not to be arrested (described by Ness as wearing a gray suit and white scarf), lighting a cigarette after Ness found the photographer. Most of the movie was filmed on location in Chicago. After the botched raid, as Ness is descending the staircase to approach the DuSable Bridge (formerly the Michigan Avenue Bridge), just as he turns the corner, you can see part of the bridge slowly lowering in the background. The DuSable bridge is a “bascule bridge” that still works today. You can see it operating here: https://youtu.be/JRdMkXwkHns?si=-Vj2BCi6UJgmNtQL However the bridge on the US / Canadian border is in reality the Hardy Creek Bridge, Great Falls, Montana. Mohaska is slang for a gun. The police “call box key” that Malone has is a key for use in accessing a locked telephone box for the patrolman to call back to the station/dispatcher. Patrolmen were not carrying radios at this time. Police/Federal officers were defintiely issued Thompson submachine guns (Tommy guns). They are a military weapon dating back to the end of WW1. Descendants of Capone are still around today: https://screenrant.com/al-capone-family-after-death-what-happened/ Anyone who is familiar with the Roger Moore James Bond movies may recognize Clifton James, the actor playing the district attorney as also playing Sheriff JW Pepper from “Live and Let Die” and “The Man with the Golden Gun.” “Monies” is correct and is used to refer to specific amounts of money, usually in legal or financial use: https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/money-plural-usage-monies For any fans of the series “Northern Exposure,” Billy Drago, the actor playing Frank Nitti is the father of Darren E. Burrows who plays “Ed” in that show. The same gun used by Nitti in the movie, the nickel-plated Star Model B is also seen in “Pulp Fiction” when it is used by Samuel L. Jackson! https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/The_Untouchables_(1987) https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Pulp_Fiction

For more Mamet, Glengarry Glen Ross for some good men shouting at each other dialogue. Also Morricone is the GOAT.

Jimmy Hoffa 'disappeared'. Al Capone went to jail.

Jacob King

Very little of this is based on history it’s an adaptation of the 1950s tv show which was itself based on earlier radio dramas that were intended as propaganda for the FBI/Treasury Department.

Jacob King
>>156923703

Just one example, the guy in white is named as Frank Nitti, the real life bodyguard of Al Capone who died by suicide in 1947 and lead the Chicago Outfit for 13 years after Capone went to jail.

Jayson Phillips

About the car alarm, you have to put yourself in place of the thief and not a regular person. To everyone else its annoying af! but if I was a thief i'd run away.

Logan Kerlee

Super enjoyed watching this with you both! A great movie, for sure. This was also my first time watching the entire thing. :)

Philipp Roensch

Afaik, car alarms are not to scare off thieves (they just wear earplugs), but to draw attention and help find them quicker. Even if only a few witnesses hear and act on it, they could note down the time it went off and help a police investigation. It also mainly prevents cars just being towed away. This one does not live to the surrounding buzz, hardly held my attention, not good for a thriller, decent enough as crime procedural. Kevin Costner is also too often outplayed by DeNiro. But chill reaction with you guys. I don't know why the music must clash so hard, or it swerves so much to western, harmonica and all, confusing tone. I wager you will have even more fun with a tribute to this in The Naked Gun next week :D.

Put that coffee down! Coffee’s for closers only. And yes they should definitely watch “Glengarry Glen Ross”!

Such a waste of for tom hardy as an actor, and why would you waste your time telling the story of Capones last years, nobody's interested in that, they're interested in Capone the powerful mob boss gangster 🤦

Why does this sound like part of a song girls in the 80s would sing while jumping rope?

Brian DePalma has always been my favorite director (after Hitchcock of course), and this film has a lot of the reasons why. I saw this in the theater, and have watched it a few dozen times since. I never get tired of it. I just love everything about it.

Brad Lowry

I was just talking with my brother recently and we were both glad we saw the Ken Burns documentary on Prohibition. It seems so crazy now (as George was alluding to early as Ness was addressing the Press and the Cops). However, if you give the Ken Burns film a look, you'll see that, notwithstanding the fact that Prohibition was perhaps the least likely solution to the problem, there was, indeed, a real Problem that was trying to be addressed.

Brad Lowry

Andy Garcia has been in a lot of Movies/Films worth reacting to. Might I recommend to you guys,, Simone in Particular, "When a Man Loves a Woman" where he plays Meg Ryan's Husband... where the entire film is semi-autobiographical for the main writer, Al Franken, Original Cast Member of SNL, Luggage Handler in "Trading Places", and not least of which, my US Senator from Minnesota. Certainly a "Rom" and not so much of a "Com" along with a great – if small – role for Phillip Seymore Hoffman. Another interesting one is "Stand and Deliver" featuring an amazing performance by Edward James Almos. A Bio-Pic about a math genius, Jaime Escalante, that teaches his inner city students Calculus. He's such a good teacher that the people from the SAT accuses ALL of his students of cheating. (Admittedly I'm shoe-horning this one in as Andy Garcia only plays one of the bad guys that accuses the students of cheating...) He's also got a unique role in a Heist/Swindler movie that I cannot find on the internet right now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

sarCC

Car alarms will scare away a perpetrator, and alert the car owner, still. Yes, annoying, but still works appropriately.

Vwlss Nvwls

Come on, George!! Untriviable!!

Brad Lowry

Brava! Simone. I was directing a College Play where one of the actors kept Poo-Poo-ing "The Method", He played a cop, and I said to him that he he should wear dress shoes instead of Converse All-Stars for rehearsal and to get extremely comfortable using hand-cuffs for the final scene ... I kept saying it, he kept ignoring me, and he made a fool of himself during the run slipping all over the stage and fumbling with hand-cuffs. Yes, some people go too far with "The Method", but getting your "physical space" as real as possible is just responsible craftmanship. I'm sure the cost and bother were but a blip on the overall production crew and budget.

Trevor S Bright

It had been so long since I'd seen this movie, that the second Malone yells out "What are you prepared to do?"...I immediately said to myself...Wait a minute, that was in "Kung Fu Hustle"!!! Mind blown

+1 for Ennio’s GOATed status. You’re guaranteed an exceptional listening experience if you see a his name in the credits and a reference to guns or a number in the movie title.

Cory Garron

You need a license to sell alcohol, so Simone's story was about bootlegging.

Re: Car alarms It seems like they don't work, HOWEVER... Insurance companies still offer discounts to your rate if you have them, and if anyone had data on their effectiveness would be the the insurance companies, and if the alarms didn't work, you can bet insurance would drop that discount pronto.

SnabbKassa

Before cars all had digital immobilizers, they only had alarms, so a thief would have to drive the car with its horn going, its hazard lights flashing, and a deafening sound inside the car. I guess George has not been inside a car where the internal alarm is sounding with the doors shut. Alarms and immobilizers don't really stop a very desirable car from being moved, because people just steal the keys, but tracker systems do make stealing them pointless. They just tell the police where the car is before it can leave the country. Most are returned to the owner.

Khalayx

The way you two didn't react to the name Ennio Morricone makes me feel that our community has failed you, somehow...

Khalayx

I thought for sure George would see the staircase scene and say "So THIS is where the Simpsons episode comes from!" (not sure if there actually is a Simpsons reference, but that's usually how it goes on Cinebinge haha) To answer the question though the "baby carriage on steps" scene was originally from the influential 1920s Soviet film Battleship Potemkin. I'm not positive but always assume the sailors in this are a nod to that film's plot as well.
