Raging bull-Memorable movie moments

[snoop11080]

the real fight was nothing like this but you know hollwood will find a way to make a white hero even if he did get his ass beat smdh.

[ChicagoMonsterPunk]

@snoop11080

What the fuck are you talking about? Jake LaMotta isn't a "hero" or anything in this film.

[hopdevil007]

Haaaaaay Maaaaaay Keeeeeeer!

[Kondzio717]

Guy who is playing Sugar Ray is looking like fuckin' voodoo zombie.

[nicknickb25101993]

the only thing i dont like about this scene is its so unrealistic when he punches him and blood literally squirts everywhere

[MrOFUW]

Ray looks more indian than black.... Just sayin

[AHPmota18]

I LOVE THE FILM

sorru mi bad english..i´m portuguese

[guzzer777]

but in real life ray did knock him down???

[losttrackboxer]

@guzzer777 no. Lamotta was never knocked down in his career until the tail end when he tried to move up to light heavyweight-- ironically he was knocked down by an unknown average fighter. Lamotta still was never knocked out in his entire career.

[Hamhark98]

Is that part where he gets punched repeatedly in his face realistic? And did that happen? I think its kind of not real but I just want to know if that is possible. As far as I am aware a proper boxer would knock the shit out of another boxer if they left their face open for shots like that.

[losttrackboxer]

@Hamhark98 yes this actually happened with lamotta leaving his hands down by his sides--he never put them on the ropes like a crucifix though. The fight is known as the "st. Valentine's day massacre." In the fight sugar ray robinson, widely considered the best p4p fighter who ever lived-- even better than muhammad ali acknowledged even by ali himself-- hit lamotta so much that his hand nearly broke and he was thinking of FORFEITING the fight!

Lamotta could take punches like nobody else.

[losttrackboxer]

@Hamhark98 that said I should note taking a barrage of punches to the face is not realistic for you me and almost everybody else. Lamotta was a specimen.

[fumogalo]

1:48 ray load the makulele spirit

[burt666]

greatest scene in cinema history?

[malows1234]

@burt666 man everyone should learn to direct from micahel bay, now i know everyone is going to hate one me but martin scorsese movies are so boring all they are is people talking and talking blah blah, there should be more action.

[Lawlzinator]

@malows1234

0/10

Learn to troll better.

[StrawberryJungle]

@malows1234 Michael Bay Film: Explosion after pointless explosion. Martin Scorsese Film: RAW EMOTION AND MEANING!

[ginogeno]

Ray Robinson killed two men in the ring I believe, back then they basically just fought with leather mittens, not much padding, it shows how durable Lamotta's chin was and to see that Jake is still alive today is amazing, he took so much punishment in that ring.

[R9G5V6]

He was under order to go down and lose the fight because of the mob but he lost standing up because of his pride, what a fight and what a helluva situation to be in too. You never got me down Ray you never got me down Ray. It was like he beat the Mob and beat Ray but lost at the same time.

[pressrolls]

To the Poster...."and the imagery as the blood pours from the ropes right at the end."

You're IMPRESSED by that shot? lol! Pure cheese. Scorsese is THE most overrated director in the world.

Its like people who think Elvin Jones is the "best jazz drummer". Nope, sorry.

"Bandwagons" are a funny thing.

[NoobKillerEternal]

Deniro's kind of got a Kubrick stare going on there for a minute. Great film.

[carlrules95]

he didn't defend himself to punish himself for beating vicky and his brother.(according to wikipedia)

[cingulli]

well lookalike needs to be somebody who can box atleast some

[gangst1978]

That was seriously glamourised and this SRR looks like Michael Jackson in Thriller but when he was the zombie, poor SRR lookalike.

[VBabareno]

@gangst1978 he sure does..lol

[drizzy009]

Robert is a product of the Acting Studio. That place breathed the greatest actors ever lived

[phongbong]

How come movies aren't tight like this anymore?

[TomSupreme]

Because the are too real and the Audience today is too stupid to get it

[Windspirit]

@phongbong : If you talk in terms of substance and intimacy, yes, it's a damn shame that we don't get scorsesian intense character studies like Raging Bull and Taxi Driver. But in terms of style, back in the days, they got effect from pure editing techniques and such, and nowadays, there's a whole new array of techniques that they can use, and let's not be bitter here and appreciate them *too*. :P

[brigcam]

1:37 - the camera movement on robinson, the sound design with the crowd noise slowly fading out - masterpiece

[KaiserReich98]

@brigcam Not really...

[xaxie1]

is that blood shooting out of his face when he gets hit, or sweat

[Windspirit]

@xaxie1 : That's part of why they made it black and white. You don't know. You can't know. It makes the whole thing just more gruesome.

[alc1956]

I absolutely love this Movie, wished they'd let boxers fight like that now! Would have like to have seen this fight ringside!!!

[WiseGuy5674]

The announcer is the real deal...that is actual audio.

[WiseGuy5674]

yes..that is excatley why he let himself get beat.

[SinoIrishAussie]

So... why did Jake La Motta just stand against the ropes, get hit and not hit back? To prove he could take it?

[WiseGuy5674]

he refused to go down

[overhere2000]

If you watch the whole movie it is explained in the first half. Boxing during that period was a much shadier industry.

But, you are correct, he was trying to prove that he could never get knocked down in a legitimate fight.

[kickar]

And he proved it to.

[trehansen]

He was trying to prove that Sugar Ray Robinson couldn't knock him out.

Sugar Ray is consider one of the hardest punchers in boxing history.

[blinkzone1]

musta been very hard to shoot that scene. i love the quick cut at 2:20

[Nofutureforyou1]

damn the guy who played ray is one ugly mofo. :O

[idahboss]

hey ray...

you never knocked me down

[shivaboyd]

This scene absolutely devastates and blows me away at the same time. I can't look away...it's that phenomenal.

Barely recognizable in defeat, La Motta just...wow. Robert Di Niro was probably one of the hardest working actors ever in motion picture history...it really speaks volumes, when an actor is willing to do whatever it takes to "become" the character they are portraying. It separates the ACTORS from the RAW TALENT.

[shivaboyd]

Yeah. This movie was nothing short of phenomenal. The part of the movie that I was absolutely blown away by was this scene - the pwnage that Sugar Ray Robinson inflicted on Jake La Motta. It can be argued that it was this scene that was responsible for the film's masterful cinematic achievement. Good Lord look at him. -'-  A champion gone down in defeat...utter brilliance. I love him at 2:01.

[scarface115]

that was definitely the most vicious boxing fight scene that i have ever seen in a movie. great acting.

[rewster7]

One of the greatest moments in the history of cinema. Scorsese, Schoonmaker and De Niro at their collaborative, and individual, best.

[I4gotmyMANTRA]

tragic

[rewster7]

one of the greatest, most perfect moments in cinema

[Whyavier]

That's what Lamotta gets for being such a prick.

Ray Robinson was a much better fighter.

[Hope2009pc]

Did you know Jake?

[Whyavier]

No. Did you?

[Hope2009pc]

Sounds to me like you are a little fem..

[Whyavier]

Sounds to me like you're a grumpy old fellow who has had too much to drink.

[dragons06]

classic go get em champ

[dupliftment]

classic "you never got me down ray, I never went down"

[Hope2009pc]

This movie beats the living shit out of all the Rocky movies..

[ESSENCEOFEACHTHING]

@dupliftment

Jake was drinking liquor in between rds in one of the fights he had with Ray.

[innit27]

@dupliftment yeah but total fiction as he never said it

[losttrackboxer]

@innit27 not true he did say it-- but he said it privately as they were leaving the ring. Robinson himself has acknowledged this.

[JcLeopard]

@losttrackboxer All Robinson said was that it was what he got from the look that Lamotta gave him. He never physically said anything because he had to sit on a stool for 20 min.

[losttrackboxer]

@JcLeopard ah who knows there are so many conflicting reports, rumors, and folk legends, with fights of this caliber who really knows what the fuck happened-- best example is the whole ali vs liston controversy.

All I know is Lamotta took a thorough ass whooping from probably the greatest fighter who ever lived and REFUSED to go down. That takes heart... something the fighters of today just don't have anymore.

[innit27]

@losttrackboxer it was not mentioned in jakes book raging bull and jake has never admitted to it. This is a case of myth becoming reality as people want it to happen. robinson beat his ass on several occasions and always weighing much less than la motta. la motta was a boiled down light heavy and robinson a pumped up welter. la motta said robinson was not the hardest hitter he had ever been in with, that goes to bob satterfield, who would become a heavyweight.

[Gilgamesh149]

2:45 Is it safe to look now? ***Splaaaash!!!!***

[theSuperMetroid]

You never got me down Ray.
