Point Blank (1967) - Nightclub Scene

[StrikerDyker]

I never knew Steve Ballmer started out black...

[TheBluekeyz]

the best scene with helluva marvin ! but who was the singer man i wanna know his name and the sound track

[hotjack99]

Who is the nightclub singer??

[chokkan7]

Please - don't punch me in the nuts! That hurt just to watch.

[adewale007]

Zero people dislike this because nobody wants Lee Marvin to come round their house and kick the living f*ck out of them. Top 5 greatest crime films ever.

[KeyboardRambo]

I bet you're a big Lee Marvin fan aren't ya. Yeah me too.

[mandaladouble]

Lee Marvin = Real Man

[JackRackem]

Did Boorman deliberatley have the music in this nightclub to be that awful? It just makes the scene much more surreal

[KeyboardRambo]

@JackRackem In the commentary, Boorman said he picked Stu Gardner (the singer) after seeing him doing the screaming act in a club. The yelling was the soundtrack for the fight.

[brothertuck73]

say YEAH OWW!

[MrSuedehead72]

démentiel!!!!

[tkidcharlemagne]

Marvin's the epitome of cool. Great Boorman movie. What the hell is he up to now. Probably the best still around.

[Clivepom]

beautifully shot

[gillan5]

Marvin is the real deal.

[robertschelly]

Love it. The Club Fever scene in Collateral was probably inspired by this one. Check it out.

[bouncerhiphop]

good stuff :)

[AgentNick42]

Was the ever a time where Lee Marvin wasn't a complete badass?!  I think not. He makes Bronson look like a choir boy.

[mikethegent]

I beg to differ,,,,both Lee Marvin and Charles Bronson were both one of a kind....

[AgentNick42]

See, you BEG to differ. Lee Marvin wouldn't be doin' no begging.

[mikethegent]

YOU Got me there...both of them wouldnt be begging....my mistake...

[AgentNick42]

But seriously, two of my favorite movies are Point Blank and Death Wish. Both Bronson and Marvin were experts in teaching the world to punch its way to success.

[mikethegent]

good choices...only death wish one and two were worth watching...those others werent even worth the time....Lee Marvin in his role as a real badass in THE BIG HEAT was harsh at that time..but I got a kick out of it....in that flick he played a real prick

[Trenton99able]

@AgentNick42

Err...You obviously haven't seen Bronson in "Hard Times" also with the title "The Streetfighter"

[tonymontana1974]

As my dad says "you call THAT singing"

[Bash316]

No matter what, he will get his $93,000.

[jonnycoolman]

Love this scene. Lee Marvin is hard as nails, aspecially when he bottles that guy. Love the music and trippy lights too

[rkremer]

not only that...he hits the other guy in his n@ts..Vintage 1st class!

[adoncapone]

such a great movie!!!

[theitalianbike]

absolutly great !!!!!

[Ceddy17]

I bet he did some kind of karate in his days!

Look at 3:19 how he chambers his right fist again!

[mikethegent]

Guaranteed he knew karate since he was an ex marine veteran of WW2 .

[Nighttrap38]

YEAAHH!!!!

[ottoskidoo]

Best scene in the film. A must see of 60's cinema.

[nicodemusd]

Brings tears to my eyes now as it did then!

[trzcinarowice]

@ottoskidoo How about the end scene of the movie ?

[pointblank0666]

hehe this has got the same name as my user lol i gotta watch it

[saxophones]

YESSSSS!

[jamasianman]

DID you see that nut shot? brutal man, just brutal.

[cha5]

Just watched this film again last night,

The raw violence in this fight scene is unforgettable, It makes alot of modern fight scenes look tame.

I also love that bit in Point Blank in which Angie Dickenson is slapping, punching, and gouging at Marvin's Walker in a rage and he just stands there like a emotionless statue taking it all and letting her wear herself out and then sits down calmly to watch some TV

while she is collapsed on the floor

from exhaustion.

[nickmitsialis]

@cha5 No kidding! I saw a clip of it here on YouTube; she really waled on Marvin & he didn't even FLINCH! I wonder how many takes it took to get THAT scene right.

[cha5]

@nickmitsialis One interesting thing is that I recently read Richard Stark's novel 'The Hunter' which Point Blank was somewhat based on and the character Parker who Marvin's character 'Walker' is taken from is somewhat different in Stark's original story and it's interesting to compare the two, but I really love both The Hunter and Point Blank and IMO Point Blank fans really should check them both out.

[sangoor22]

This is a tune composed and performed by STU GARDNER and called MIGHTY GOOD TIMES.

I've been looking for a complete recording of this song, never found any...

[Rhubba]

The best bit about this scene is the way the photos of the girls have these looks of shock and horror as if they're reacting to the violence. And the singer's screams cover up the noise of the fight and then segue into the woman's real scream at the end. This movie saw the birth of modern screen ultraviolence.

[regalrob]

Is this supposed to sound like James Brown? I guess the Hollywood executives couldn't tell the difference. Just like they couldn't wrap their heads around a character like Parker - an intelligent bad guy as the protagonist.

[goldiesmarv]

That's Stu Gardner, dumbass.

[regalrob]

Well, whatever it is it sucks.

[regalrob]

Disappointing. Parker (Walker) is an intelligent, rational bad guy - a concept that the executives running this movie could not wrap their heads around. This music says it all. You have a band playing quite discordantly, and a lead singer randomly shouting - painful to hear. The executives that made the choices couldn't hear the difference between this and James Brown. I see nothing special in the direction either.

[mackb909]

I love this movie! John Vernon (Dean Wormser in 1978's "Animal House") plays the crook who double crosses Lee Marvin in this movie. Carroll O'Connor (4 years before debut of "All In The Family") plays another crook. The scene where Marvin terrifies another crook (shady used car dealer Michael Strong) by totalling a car with Marvin and Strong INSIDE it, is classic- funny and hair-raising simultaneously!

[SamuelRMiller]

Lee Marvin fucking rules!
