  • such a powerful scene , saw this movie long ago , but this scene has always stayed with me.. free will is a bitch sometimes.. great scene,,,powerful and meaningful...thanks for posting..

  • Absolutely great scene. Keitel... No words!

  • Absolutely f*cking crazy scene.

  • I always wondered where Scorn had the sample in 'night ash black' from. Now I know, thanks!

  • This movie is a cult classic and not considered popular by main stream standards. It's too disturbing and seems to lack an overall message or point that most people can understand. That is to me the essence of this film. He expresses the subtle nuances of life that many real every day people feel. Frustration, greed, pain, remorse, getting in over our heads, yet still able to express compassion for others even those who have done terrible things. Brilliant.

  • OOOOOOOOH!!! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!! XD

  • best scene ever

  • This always gets me cryin'. "I tried to do the right thing, but I'm too weak, I'm too fuckin weak." Everyone can relate to that at one point of their lives. Harvey Keitel is legendary.

  • This guy ( Keitel ) has to be one of the most underrated actors of all time.....but just like the music industry over-rates and over-hypes their singer/artists, Hollywood also has the habit of over-rating their actors. "So Called" popular actors like Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and most of today's "LIMELIGHT" actors are just FLUFF, and no substance. They coundn't hold a candle to a REAL actor like Harvey Keitel.

  • Comment removed

  • One of the best performances of all time.

  • This portrays a non-Catholic attitude where religious icons are "f**k-all use" in the real world...yet also reveals a core human condition where 'evil' is either succumbed to or confronted...and the guilt associated if not.

  • Harvey Keitel is the only actor I know that can call Jesus a fuck and get away with it.

  • favourite scene ever

  • 4:09 -- Pure Comedy Gold!

  • it makes me cry

  • @GodDog1611 yes.. this is very hard movie and have message. I cry in this scene too.

  • When i saw Jesus..WOW..I SHAKED

  • He was wasted the whole movie, from what I can tell. I know how he feels/looks; that is some serious damage he did to his liver in that movie, lol.

  • a great confession because it's so heartfelt - it's the lowest he can go and redemption is the only course

  • Please let me post this

    this is too incredible

  • I got goose bumps...Mr. Keitel is such an outstanding actor.I love this film.

  • This is one of the best actors i have ever seen in my entire life. Definetely in my top 5 for sure.

  • This is coming to blu-ray on October 5th..

  • He may be the BEST!

  • What a movie, what a scene and what a performance.

    I love Harvey Keitel. He is one of the best actors. Should've won an Oscar already.

  • In the hands of a lesser actor this scene would be laughable...in the hands of Keitel it is nothing if not compelling

  • this film is one of the greats just watched a remake of this film with nicolas cage it was utter SHIT

  • this film was nuts

  • WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU?

    a better question never asked..

  • A scene of a man taking no responsibility for his actions and blaming on a deity. He did act well in this movie, but really, who cries like that?

  • fucking brilliant

  • This scene is intense and when he gives the money to the rapists and lets them go. it's so intense.

  • This scene is intense and when he gives the money to the rapists and lets them go. it's so intense.

  • This is a epic moment in movie history,...

  • This was one film that they should have never remade.

  • This scene has such tremendous emotional weight. If you want to see a great performance, Harvey Keitel's work in this film is definitely a must-see.

  • Absolutely.

  • people talk about de niro in front of the mirror in taxi driver - a great scene. But this scene...is taking it to places De Niro never went. Keitel takes it so far it almost becomes ridiculous, then ends up reaching a powerful truth..one of the bravest, wildest performances in film history

  • Keitel has truly sunk to the level of a howling dog in despair.

    This was a performance for the ages.

  • best movie of harvey keitel...he's such an underrated actor..

  • Sin poisons from the inside-out and this performance depicts the need of repentence.

  • One of the great performances in all of cinema!

  • Youll never see films made like this any more, ever. THe only chance we have are independed filmmakers to keep hope going. HAving said that this looks like it was shot with an HV20 :D.

  • 2:05 && my fav = 2:45

    I DID SO MANY BAD THINGS !! WOOOOUNG

  • I love Harvey.but i dont think his "crying" scenes are believable...Like Dinero, he sounds like he's trying to pinch a loaf..But he's a great actor!

  • epic

  • @mrknile: I disagree, the movie was awesome! The best movie i've seen in a while, without a doubt! You can watch it online at: iwatch - movies - online . c o m

  • fan-freaking-tastic, really good movie, watched it in full and in very good quality @ iwatch - movies - online. c o m

  • fan-freaking-tastic, really good movie, watched it in full and in very good quality @ iwatch - movies - online. c o m

  • Nobody goes to pieces better than Harvey! HaHaHa!

  • The howl.

  • One of the most powerful scenes of raw emotion ever filmed.

    Harvey shoud have won the oscar just like Norton in American History X.

  • @EndlessLaymon I once gave this to a psychologist friend of mine,I don't think he's ever forgiven me for it!!.I think it must havve given him a major headache trying to psychoanalyse it.

    Personally it's one of my all time favorite movies,and both Abel Feerrara and Harvey Keitel are vastly underatted by critics and film buffs alike in my opinion.

  • @EndlessLaymon  I agree 100%. This is scene is amazing.

  • @EndlessLaymon

    Most great actors never win anything, I've alway's wanted Norton to have won the oscar for AHX aswell.

  • four days to burn.

  • definitely the feel-movie of 1992 - LOL !

    harvey keitel is without a doubt one of

    the best actors anywhere over the last

    30 years - never ceases to amaze in

    ANY role

  • @eldark1 Soooo True! xx

  • Awesome scene...

    U RAT FUCK

    WHERE WERE U

    WHERE THE FUCK WERE U

    waaaaaaaaaaaaaahah

  • Harvey Keitel is one of the greatest actors ever. Fuck the Oscars, he never needed one. This is too much. He's up there with Marlon Brando, like Gary Oldman in his good times, Harvey and Gary will never, and NEVER need an Oscar to prove they're the greatest actors ever,

    WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU??

    that should be in AFI's memorable lines

  • @lesassassins I never put it together until you said that, but yeah, this reminds me of the scene in Last Tango in Paris where Marlon Brando is yelling at his wife in her coffin...

  • @lesassassins dude i totally agree. harvey keitel is the man. he may not have always gotten the best scripts, but he's a badass.

  • I love this movie. A classic independent film.

  • mom loves us :)

  • jk

    we hate her

  • This scene means a lot more to me now than it did when I first saw it. Sometimes we have to look at our wounds in a mirror before we can look at them directly.

  • First time I saw this scene, it was so hard to watch ... It really touched something inside me.

    Such a great performance!

  • This movie disturbed the hell out of me. I've seen almost all the great disturbing movies, Cannibal Holocaust, Salo, Kids, etc., but this one for some reason really, really got to me.

  • check out irreversible, that is truly disturbing.

  • Timeless

  • There is no reason why keitel shouldn't have won an Oscar for this.  Fuck the Acedemy!

  • I had forgotten just how powerful this film was... I'll have to dig up my old VHS copy and watch it again. Superb performance by Keitel.

    I didn't care for the ending of the film, (I WON'T SPOIL IT) but maybe watching it now with a little more life experience, it might make more sense...

  • Harvey Keitel is the only Bad Lieutenant.

  • Opie and Anthony play this sound sample alot

  • pat from 72nd and western right here

  • Harvey at his best,great movie and amazingly acted by Harvey.Hope the new one is as good as this one,Nicolas Cage is a talented actor and has played a role similar to this one,remeber Leaving Las Vagas for which he won an Oscar.

  • sounds like me when im taking a shit

  • Nothin funny about this scene. Probably one of the most hardcore tear-jerking scenes of redemption EVER.

  • The end of this scene is hysterical though. The black lady just looks down at him like wtf? lol.

  • funniest cry ever

  • Its not funny if you have seen the whole film.

  • Should have won an oscar........ who won that year....... forest fuc*ing gump!

  • Al Pacino for "Scent of A Woman"

  • Ooooooooh! Ooooooh! Ooooooooooooooooooooooh! Oooooooh! Goooorh!

  • Harvey really excels in this movie. Incredible!

    "Where the fuck were you?"

  • ... three dots.

    frightening scene. great movie. harvey for president.

  • iam quite dead so iam suppposed to say something;

    something

    fag

  • He's one of my favorite actors of all time. Go watching "The duellists" with a young and full of stamina Keitel fights in duels with Keith Carradine.

  • Why is it that this scene makes me laugh more than anything? Is it because I can relate or something? I guess I feel like this sometimes or something

  • i can't believe harvey didnt win an oscar for this. Hollywood is a bunch of asshole morons

  • @Petey123123 Yes. Stanley Kubrick and Alfred Hitchcock never won an Oscar! Shows you how much an Oscar is really worth...

  • Holy shit.. what a performance..

    frightens you to the core. Harvey Keitel actually made the labile state of mind of this character like.. feelable. Not many actors can do that. And most actors would never let themselves go so far like this, it seems as if he as a person really did feel the despair.

  • This scene alone completely changed my opinion of Harvey Keitel as an actor. How he didn't get an academy award for this I'll never comprehend. Maybe the film was just too dark for them Hollywood critic bums to handle.

  • I agree. In the hands of a lesser actor, this scene would've actually been quite laughable...

  • its good to see nicolas cage play the bad guy again like in face/off

  • Great scene. Seriously great film. Not great as in "Oh I liked that" more like great as in "What are we here on earth for and should I live like there is no tomorrow" great.

    "Where the fuck were you?"

  • Oh god, I just read where nic cage is doing the next one, anything with him in it is just horrible.

  • nic cage is an excellent actor, havent you seen conair? your a moron, what about gone in 60 seconds?

  • LOL good one. you're wittier than half these fucks on youtube.

  • thanks asshole and fuck you

  • Such an awful movie.

    Herzog's take on this will be better.

    It cant possibly be any worse.

  • How dare you speak ill of the great Harvey Keitel, the man is a modern master, any film with him in it is great.

  • hear hear. Just because a movie is depressing, doesnt mean it's BAD. This is a sublimely good film. it's just not comfortable to watch.

    Thank god all movies aren't Forrest Gump morality tales for simple folk.

  • My feelings exactly. Real life isn't perfect and most people aren't. This is a movie along the lines of the 70s movies that were dark and there weren't happy endings. I like movies that are real. We don't get them anymore, movies are shit now. I prefer to watch something I can relate to, I can't watch any of these chick flicks or dumb comedies or CGI blow 'em up action nonsense movies.

  • this is most of the reason why he should get an oscar. Harvey is the man.

  • you rat fucker, you rat fuck! haha

  • @rijstevlaai you got it assbackwards, the Nic Cage version was garbage, Keitel made this fuckin character who he was!!!

  • Harvey's got quite the set of pipes for howlin'. Man should sing the blues, I say.

    Fantastic scene. Need to see this movie.

  • i thot this was a song!!!

  • Really powerful scene, 5/5 stars!

  • I noticed that too, hekesuede. He sounds really convincing in Reservoir Dogs too.

  • i agree where is jesus or god when you need it ??

  • No one can do those groans of abject anguish like Harvey Keitel. They are absolutely convincing.

    Remember the last scene in Reservoir Dogs? His character Mr. White makes those same heart-rending sounds after Mr. Orange admits that he betrayed Mr. White, that he was a cop all along.

    Ive never heard anything like it elsewhere, and it always chills me to the bone.

  • have heard these sounds before its when someone drinks way too much and toilet hugging

  • I was thinking of the same exact scene in Dogs too haha.

  • 2:44-2:48 - Auuaaa-uauiéjjj!!!

  • i like the "acting"

    back some years i see me travel around sometimes on my naked knees like him; stunned in a depressed alkoholic selfawareness

  • Cool!

  • this is one of the best movies ever. harvey keitel proves how far can he go. he is an actor with no limits, and as many of you say, very few actors have the balls to play characters like the bad lieutenant.

    fuck the oscars, they are the "academy" of money, not of acting.

    i would like to see de niro trying to play this character, but he must be too busy with a millionaire contract for another sequel of "meet the parents".

  • Truer words have never been spoken

  • you gotta understand man that dude has made plenty of dirt movies you know what im sayin? told his business too much the mafia/rough side movies is heated right now and hes gotta laylow prove to his parol officer hes not the same cat that was in prison

  • What the hell are you talking about? The director?

  • deniro

  • Still dont know what you are talking about...you've lost me

  • a guy said why he does family films or comedys now...

  • Well said

  • damn this movie is deep

    its some deep dostvesky theme deepness. suffering then redemption

  • One of the best scenes in history!

  • There is only a few Artists who could ever pull off a scene like this.

    Harvey is one of them. In this film he takes you to places in yourself that you try and avoid. Very few actors can do that.

  • anyone who has never felt this way before isn't human, imo.

    this has to be one of the most powerful scenes in the history of film.

    where's his oscar?

  • To the fellow who wrote"That's christianity. Forgiveness by proxy. Never mind the real victims. Bleh." Yeah, I don't like prision religions either, but I think your missing the fucking point of the scene and the movie. Bleh to you and your snappy, yet unsubstantial comment.

  • honeyshot:

    i am right there with you.

  • this guy reminds me of my dad sometimes

  • just awesum. good thing he isnt a mormon...

  • he was in a bad way, but he was a good guy

  • one of the greatest performances ever !

  • hæ

  • amazing performence by keitel ,i saw smoke a couple of days ago and if you see this you can't argue about the fact that he is a superb actor..you have any idea how difficult it is to carry a film? keitel does succeed in it ..a role that not many actors could pull off

    a very creepy scene also

  • BEST SCENE EVER!!!!!!!in the fucking history in the fucking world awesome awesome awesome, my favorite scene in a film. luv this scene luv this jesus luv this fucking panic crisis at film.i have a fucking mental disorder too(tlp), this escene identifies me totally.

  • That's christianity. Forgiveness by proxy. Never mind the real victims. Bleh.

  • one of the best scenes in a film ever !

  • what's wrong with cuesing in movies. I knoe priests who curse. Lighten up

  • Christian Soldier it's just acting dude. He's not serious. Good acting though. I guess he's cursing Jesus out or the image of Jesus. Bad no matter how u put it. Even if its just acting. Its true people do actually do those things but still. I think that this part of the film really desensitizes people to think that its okay to curse in films and aiming it at Jesus most of all even though it was acting. I Disagree with the method of portrayal of repentance in this film.

  • i guess your right

  • This scene is shocking, but it's great because it's a pretty accurate portrayal of the human condition in general.

    When he's cussing out Jesus for abandoning him, think of Christ himself asking "Why hast thou forsaken me?" on the cross. That was Christ's humanity speaking, and this is the Bad Lieutenant's. They are saying the same thing.

  • yo even if he curse he realize that he's guilty for wha he done but the good thing is that he confess his sin to jesus

    and thats whats so good about jesus he forgives

  • he is all so snow whites uncle lol

  • hahaha yur funny yo

  • Ah, the false God of movies who looks like literary remorse and acts like santa claus. crooked cops will stand before the real Diety before long, and won't be able to bear to say they tried.

  • lets chat

    877.304.6769 . phone fun 6w

  • I just saw this for the first time. Shocking and brilliant. Harvey was amazing.

  • powerful. *fart!*

  • They dont produce actors like this anymore .

    Harvey you are one of the best

  • FANTASTIC ACTING! HARVEY IS THE MAN!

  • I was really pleased when i heard Werner Herzog was directing the remake but was a bit dissapointed when i heard Nicolas Cage was playing the Lieutenant. Seems like he hasn't been in a decent movie for years

  • nicolas cage is playing keitel's role in the remake

  • about has real has it gets

  • Gave my life to Jesus one year after seeing this movie.

  • I've sorta cried like that. Made a wierd howling sound. It only happened when I was drunk off my ass.

  • one of the best scene

  • you fuck yeaaaaaaaaa

  • this doesnt happen often, but i had watched this movie for the first time and i really hated it for the first quarter, but was oddly transfixed and began to like it throughout.

    def. see why they want to remake it.

    good film.

  • if it was remade, it probably wouldn't be as good.

    This is grittier and dirtier. Now it would be too clean and polished. Too new.

  • agreed, i wish they would start taking chances on new shit and leave these old greats alone.

  • It's being remade, sequelized or whatever as we speak, I'm afraid.

  • well i wish them good luck, but it will never come close to the original AND be as gritty and damn near real.

    but i guess we'll see.

  • One thing it surely will be is... batshit insane ;) Werner Herzog is behind the camera.

  • Me too.

  • You rat fucker YOU RAAAAT FUUUUCK!

    Very intense scene for sure, been on simular sorta break downs, though not from drugs or loosing 120K...

  • This scene really grabbed me.

    I believe most of us go through a smaller version of what Keitel's character goes through.

  • Sounds like Lexington Steele

  • That wail thing he does is one of the strangest human noises i think ive heard hahahahaha

  • He was a wookie?

  • this movie is hard to watch its pretty sad

  • This movie is one of the best movies i ve seen!

  • if i lost 120,000 on a baseball game i would feel the same way.

  • I am actually crying right now. Had a similar episode myself last night. Just that i didn't see Jesus Christ, i saw a brick wall.

  • climax

  • Incredible, amazing performance. Keitel's best role ever. His character leaves church a changed man on his last day.

    Thanks QuantPlus!
