Eric "Rick" Masters (Money Making Sequence)

[MrNeslepax]

some asshole stole 4:42

[coolwise1]

No this isn't a scene from "To Live and Die in LA" it from "Federal Reserve:How to Debase US Currency" Training Series Videos. ;-)

[avcomth]

He's "making" the money using the offset lithographic process--notice how he made the plate and film in the beginning--that process is just not how you do it, books may be, but not money. Money is printed using the intaglio printing process which is like rubber stamps with invert patterns, you're going to need an engraver, a paper making expert, and special chemicals that are obtained from black markets.

[callmefrozone]

haha very clever...dispite tha fact ion hav tha materials, resources, or time -_____-

[skababy8227]

this scene is from the film TO LIVE AND DIE IN LA. very cool film.

[Dimigrey]

bad ass Dafoe is the man!

[SuperPaulfelix]

whats the name of this movie?

[stude]

dunno why but this is probably my favourite scene in the film.

[xXMultiGXx]

1:26



[davids7958]

love this movie and this part of it.

[billthestinker]

why was masters made a bi-sexual in this film

[REXFERAL59]

some of the crew got busted using the fake money that was made in the film, true story.

[edmund94232]

this looks to complicated. i'll just work for my money. not make it.

[slimjim77M]

Thanks for the upload. Love this movie.

[pynchonfan]

I used to be a typesetter, so spent many hours of my early adulthood in newspapers and print shops. Even in 1985, this would not have been feasible. You could never print passable bogus currency with an offset press. (I guess that was intentional, to discourage copycats.)

[isaachaze1]

@pynchonfan i dont think they had a choice. the secret service forced them to make it unrealistic, so it wouldn't be a tutorial. if i remember correctly ,they were forced to change this scene around. it's not the way they wanted to shoot it, and they were originally going to show exactly how to counterfeit

[Allanlegacy43]

@The7legacy Are you really in jail?

[HUMMFREAK]

Movie?

[zekehooper]

[torr59622]

@zekehooper

To Live and Die in LA. Get the DVD with commentary and interviews.

[MrBybien]

@zekehooper

To Live And Die In L.A.

[LucoLuchi]

Best Money Making Sequence EVER!!!!!

Rick Masters, you are the man!!!!!!

If I did what you are doing I wouldn't be in jail now for 150 years.

[moosedog72]

This scene brought back 10th grade graphic arts class. Great movie!

[scruby]

Even better than French Connection

[ToCiOo]

as the name of this film

[MONOPOLY35]

Cmon North Korea made the best counterfeits of all time, but they still got caught!!!

[GunGemini]

A 2 head Multi or a true 2 color Ryobi would have been better.

Fuck Heidelberg presses. Royal linen stock

[livestreamz2]

my blog has alot of good info on making money online waystomakeonlinemoney.info

[ipc353]

Lets do it at HOME  :)

[samferraro1]

Interested in learning how to make counterfeit notes?

I have just completed a step by step hand book on how to make counterfeit notes using the two best methods, as well as a entire guideline on how to purchase merchandise with the notes and the best and worse ways to rid yourself of the notes. Also I have included a buyers guide of the best and most cost efficient materials and equipment needed in the making of counterfeit for both methods

[FAPPpublications]

@samferraro1 Yeah Fed Agent, sign us up!  I know I want to be a suspect from off 'YouTube'! smh

[tobagotb10]

Must be waterless offset, no fountain solution in bottle.

[reynaldopassion]

that the old method of printing they call it negative for color separation which is CMYK, NOW WE USE CTP means Computer to plate you can make your design from computer directly to plate for printing process, no need for stripping color like he did to erase some dotted dirt in the negative CTP is totally clean and fine after offset especially your using Heidelberg like Speed Master.

[Allanlegacy43]

I like how you can always hear Wang Chung in the back ground just ever so softly and then it builds, this movie was and is the best!

[YouBillyW]

Yes very good to teach the movie-going public the fine art of counterfeiting. Why should only The Fed be allowed to birth money into existence?

[ScubaSteveM45]

Lol, most people leave their house every day to earn money-this guy visits his secret warehouse day after day and MAKES money! rofl

[12fitim]

cool

[swastikausa]

did dafoe and friedkin really get into trouble for making real bills.

[jpatrickbad]

@swastikausa No one side is legal, when you make bills with two sides it is counterfieting.

[zerosix1786]

lol that way to much work to risk getting busted

[MegaDragon117]

i can probably make counterfits with my friend i need to know wat type of paper he used

[rancosteel]

Awesome film. Yeah, only the PRC ( The Peoples Republic of China) are allowed by the US Treasury to print fake money, not American Citizens. As the bumper sticker says "PLEASE DON'T STEAL, THE GOVERNMENT HATES THE COMPETITION".

[micheal4400]

Are you serious?

[timmysponge]

this is dumb isn't it like working hard for it

[pazenger5150]

Is that the name of this theme? "City of the Angels?"

[fattony252]

Attention: The linen paper used to print fake money is availble in foreign countries. Thats were they get it... the bad men

[kevykev38]

Whats the name of this movie?

[DeathAnq3l]

damn... wish I could do that.

[pazenger5150]

ya i remember when they took this part out a year or two ago. totally messed up the rest of the sequence when it was on here. i remember being pissed.

this theme reminds me of NIN "Heresy". get pumped every time i hear this.

[davids7958]

don't try this at home. LOL

[soilstud7]

what a fuckin stud! i love this movie ever since i was 7! im 30 now and this shit is still awesome to me! master soundtrack as well!

[Anikan1005]

Wait, is he makin' fake 20s?

[sparklerbombg]

WONDER WHAT TYPE OF PAPER HE USED.

[chadillac490]

the point of the poker chips was to beat up the money and make it look like legit previously printed money

[real80smusic]

haha rick masters

[STalKerXHACK]

i love this movie just can't remember what its called

[gman100]

@STalKerXHACK

"To Live and Die in LA"

[waylan3]

right im sure

[dominicancutttie1212]

what the name of this movie never seen it look interesting ?

[BaltasV]

to live and die in l.a

[crzyshine]

Great movie!...although 20 dollars ain't what it use to be.

[dominicancutttie1212]

what the name of this movie if u know it ?

[FUTHX1138]

go to

[MAC616]

Life can be so unfair..I wish my school could be paid for,and i can live a normal life.I'd start off by researching techniques like the one seen in the video.Either you're born into money,or you live the rest of your life not doing so well,but not too bad.The United States is the bully of all the other countries,creator of a monetary pyramid scheme,and i don't want to live here anymore...

[XMRWIGGLEZX]

@MAC616 Then don't.

[GARYindeed]

yhahah u can see the guy closing the door at 4:33

[Hot80s]

Dude next to the ferrari at 4:20

[MaTchBoOkPoEt]

@Hot80s those are the security guards that blow away the fbi agent

[doughauf]

@Hot80s What is the proportion of ink?  I am just curious

[SirGeordie71]

@Hot80s Not a mistake, he's Eric Masters' henchman, seen later in the movie.

[pazenger5150]

@GARYindeed ya in the film, he was rick master's henchman.

[touchsmart0]

@GARYindeed i think hes sopose to be closeing the door, i dont think that was a slip up

[timduncan69]

@GARYindeed

Yeah that's his mate the fat guy.

[1dirkmanchest]

@GARYindeed

thats his crime partner, the dude that shoots the Secret Service agent in the head with the twelve gauge shotgun when the SSA comes snooping around the place.

Buddy, "you're in the wrong place at the wrong time" or lines close to that.

[nmjrule]

@GARYindeed I think thats ricks brutal bodyguard.

[newfieboy58]

@GARYindeed that was his bodyguard. he has the same color coat as him. in the next scene, Masters and his bodyguard set a trap for the older Secret Service Agent who dies. A very underrated movie IMHO.

[ilonagguti]

@GARYindeed you actually see him at 4:21 first

[Gravyballs2011]

@GARYindeed

Makes sense. Anyone who is counterfeiting and ownes a ferrari would probably hire a henchman for security and to make certain everything is locked up tight.

[ZoltarTheFeared]

Isn't that just the guy who ends up hiding on the property with the shot gun? I don't think it's a blooper...it's a character.

[shinobi300]

waht movis was this from its awasome......lol

[hoovasin]

hes the shit : )

[kinmanyuen]

awesome

[The7legacy]

Rick Masters was the man.

Printed as much money as he wanted just like The Federal Reserve does.

[Cinemaguy2007]

you're so right about this :D

if we do it, we go to jail, if they do it, they get rich.

[jaktigmidblinx]

This scene was taken down...probably because some federal agency wanted it taken down (this was recent)

What exactly are they thinking.... this movie is from the 80s. Even if this technique was still applicable today, if I want to make fake money I've got to find an expensive and rare printing press, a secret location warehouse, and I have to have years of expert craftmanship, so I can print 20s. It is going to take a long ass time before I print enough money to cover the cost of operation.

[davidmurzen]

@jaktigmidblinx

it doesnt take a rocket scientist to do this im 16 and me and my firneds had graphic communication for school and we did everything this guy did except put the money in the dryer we would put it in pop machines and it would gives us real change back then took it to the bank and got bills for the change

[MONOPOLY35]

@jaktigmidblinx Exactly! The Secret Service knew for a fact that the $100 bill was going to be redesigned soon anyway (in 1990). However, I assume part of the reason is that they had major problems occurring at the time being with people using ordinary printers to make counterfeit bills.

[kinmanyuen]

@jaktigmidblinx

lol the character in this movie is an artpainter so hes got money already... but kinda seeks thrills in a bad way like Chance.

[hyperremocon]

this scene and music is perfectly

excellent !

[Mpoconnor7]

Hard to believe that was the same band who was responsible for "Everybody Wang Chung Tonight".

[JuxboxBob]

yeah u aint kiddng

[starlionblue]

What was the purpose of the poker chips?

[Hot80s]

it wears down the fake bills to look used & also to hide any imperfections.

[JuxboxBob]

I thought they use to just bleach ones and print twenties on them.

[nickrohn93]

@JuxboxBob pretty much :P

[SpeedVideoz]

lol

[hibob418]

In the "Making of" feature from the DVD, Freidkin basically says they had a former counterfeiter doing all the close-up handwork in this scene where you don't see Dafoe's face. He said they were only printing money on one side, and that going any farther than that would have crossed the line legally. Although a couple of prop one-sided bills got into the hands of a crew person's kid who tried to spend them. Oops. He said that's when the feds started watching / questioning them. Thanks!

[timmah68]

this is old school,won't work today besides if the paper is not right your just wasting time. he has to make 3 passes because of the ink colors.

[jungeboi55]

disz shyt look lik it mite jussst work.

[SYNDICADO]

Epic scene! i ran an old multi 2/head just like it!

I still dont know why he didn't use a 2/head to begin with? it would have been 1 over 1 instead of making three passes. Which leaves tracks and takes more time.

[Hot80s]

The real Secret Service were advised & monitoring this movie when it was being shot, otherwise using the 2/head in the film would have been incriminating in 1984 & that was cutting edge back then.
