"No Country For Old Men" Coin Toss Scene / Call it

[tannerkish616]

I like this. Because the movie is so popular (rightfully so, it's a personal favorite), people tend to believe the FILM is of original creation. But it's not. The book is the source material. Therefore, I can respect alternate adaptations of this scene. This....I respect. Sound editing isn't great, though. Shouldn't have been any music at all.

[SeoulChronicles]

Good sound, lens and color correction would have made this really professional. Awesome job.

[OutTheWindowFilms]

wow - hadn't seen the movie in a few years and you guys done good especially since you were doing this scene from the book

good on you!

[Clay4legacy]

Very good acting guys, do you have more work?

[rneu0324]

What is funny is both gys did o.k. at times(keeping in mind that you hadn't seen No Country to judge them on). The clerk showed signs of brilliance and the customer was overall pretty good. On the other hand, it goes to show you how good the actual movie was with casting, sound camera angles etc. Whwther or not this was made before the movie is up in the air.

[The121Hammer]

This isn't too bad, overall, especially if it was done before Anton Chigar. Not a bad effort considering the characters lethality hasn't been established. The real scene can't be duplicated so, not bad at all. This relied on music to try and set the tone and the real deal is dead silent and truly menacing 'til the end. That, and this punk would have been apprehended 12 hours later with a rusty .22, one round and sleeping in a stolen car with a mini meth lab in the trunk. Sugar don't play that.

[ousooners5193]

"Nobody can do Anton Shigur" like Javier Bardem can*

[BLACKFANGj29]

i liked that it was word for word

well done

[kanyeezy24]

above average acting, but the beauty of the original scene is how deathly quiet the atmosphere was, the slurpee machine noise kinda killed it for me

[michaelsloane]

This would have been professional feeling with good sound.

[plofisto777]

Their is a novel about this movie before any of this came out...

[geevoguuvo]

That's the way it is.. :D

[Riku72293]

you could actually feel the tension from this remake

[tiernay11]

he should be eating the peanuts

[billythekid327]

wait a minute, 7-11 dont close friendo.

[D0CKTORDEATH]

@billythekid327 LMAO true

[mrincodi]

VERY WELL DONE!!!

[BROKENHOUSEFILMS]

cashier was good

[LordSirpiko]

im not buyin it friendo.

the conversation does not match the charecters appearence

[Nemesis0300]

Im all for acting on youtube but.. This really sucks..

[SlowRiotNewKanada]

I like it. Closer to the book than the scene from the Coen film.

[KSKsueyzidV2]

lol anton chigurh looks like bush in this clip

[stefanbotha11]

piece of shit pussy acting

[CarWindowFilms]

Hey give these guys a break... let's see YOU do it

[Reaps51]

If anything it just reminds me how blown away I was at the complete lack of security in US gas stations..

[6Ott7]

Nobody can do Anton Shigur

[NowRiddleMeThis]

@6Ott7 actually someone can

[skyisfelling]

better than the movie

[CarWindowFilms]

good stuff

[OutTheWindowFilms]

nice work especially since you shot this before the film came out

[jesoby]

this is why I keep a loaded Glock under the counter - to cut short annoying fucks like this.

[thedudebehindyou]

the voice makes it all. thats whats missing.

[Lionel4482]

they should switch. The clerk looks more dangerous than the customer

[UberDave09]

Actually, that was not written by Joel and Ethan Coen. It was copied almost word for word from the novel. At least give the true author credit, chickenhow.

[EinkOLED]

Very good I mean very good, however that guy didn't look menacing or tall enough like the real character. He smiled without fear at his victims as though they he was beyond their power.

[CoverTracks]

fuckin shit

[DonCapitan71]

This was not a bad represention of the scene. The lines were very close to the movie. It would have been wiser for the guy to flip the coin before asking the clerk to call it. I'd like to see another rendition with a black guy as the bad guy and a Hindu store clerk. THAT would be the shit!!!

[Esenyushi]

was that "kiss of death"in the

background?,lol i loved 28.anyways,its a hard scene to reproduce but you guys did a pertty good job though, kudos.

[Hax9]

good job... its good to see a variation of the real scene.. it was really well done.. obviously with professional cameras it would have looked more well.... professional... but the acting was brilliant from both actors... well done...

[iLoVeEdWiN46]

good videos Mr.whitehead see u on johnson on tuesday...

[StanAlter]

Not bad actually pretty good. I really liked the movie. One of the best I've seen in years and anything about it ,including parodies, always interest me.

[DURCO02]

Ya your right not bad. Could use some work. Maybe change change the cam a little. Also make it longer.

[phxsunsGB]

gay

[MeisterSchalke]

Well done...!

[chickenhow]

How it went down: the dir of the scene found the script online at a Coen Bros website in 2007 several months before the film came out. It's true!... because I read the whole thing myself online in '07. (I just looked & it's not there now) The director picked this scene to do for her USC production class. It was shot & screened in her class before No Country FOM was released. We shot the scene on Sunday Oct 7, 2007, from midnight to 5am at an Arco Gas Station near USC in LA

[ECLoverde]

I saw this about a year ago, it was OK. But NOW after seeing it again -- pretty dang good!!

[maswellasm]

Wow, you guys did an awesome job. The acting is very good, especially for a more amateur production. And yes, its very different from the movie version, but just as valid. Its' different portrayals, is all, and I presume you hadn't seen the scene before you did it. Anyway, very good job. And I really like Mr. Whitehead's portrayal of Chigurh.

[endlessrskies]

nice job on that, the guy playing the villain kinda looks like Bush, no offense lol, but great vid, 5 stars

[chickenhow]

My sincerest apologies... Script written for the screen by Joel and Ethan Coen. Adapted from the Cormac McCarthy novel of the same name.

[Mcrlover2death]

This was nice

[SirRamboi]

i like javiers voice .

[forloveoffilm]

Very nicely done. There were elements here which I prefered over the theatrical and vice-versa.

I thought Cormac McCarthy wrote this, not the Coen's.

[chickenhow]

We shot this scene on Sun Oct 7, 2007, from midnight to 5am at an Arco Gas Station in LA (Hoover Street near USC) for a USC Prod class. It was screened at the end of semester 2007. I'm the actor guy & didn't get a copy until January. When the Oscar noms came out, I put scene on YouTube the NEXT day bc it was interesting to me that the Dir picked THAT scene to do-the same scene shown on TV during the noms. I have nothing to prove it but the dated emails to & from the cast and crew, but it's true!

[keybolt]

wow I'm sorry, if I misspoke......done very well, if shot before the movie...plus its hard to compare to a film that was shot on film stock instead of video.....

[chickenhow]

It's true, this scene was shot BEFORE the movie was released in Oct 2007. This guy here wasn't attempting to play it like Javier did because he had not seen Javier's performance, none of us had. We were working from the Coen Bros script the director found on-line. We put the Coen Brothers title before it because they wrote the script.

[miketheratguy]

This was really made BEFORE the film? That's awesome if so. Good stuff either way.

[chickenhow]

Yeah, we shot this scene 2 months before the movie was released. Some people have been critical of the killer's performance here but maybe they're comparing it too much to Javier's performance. Please don't! This guy here is an amateur, an actor who does it for a hobby. My God - there's no comparison to Javier. Javier won an Oscar for that!

[miketheratguy]

That's awesome then. Quite frankly I don't see why anyone would complain about the performance of Sigur here. Javier did a phenomenal job, he just did it differently. I don't see a problem with the acting here.

[FatSantaSong]

funny

[CharleyWessex]

Not too shabby.

[grybold]

that guy needs the long-hair wig first.

[Purehate66613]

Forest gump as Anton lol

[RyanBrandon83]

LOL!!!!

[dbstewie]

damn. those cigarettes are cheap.

[realmeanguy]

pretty good

[ataribigsby]

hey, great job. there's a couple of other re-enactments i've watched that came out after the movie was released. They blew. this was great stuff.

[FatSantaSong]

Seems weird seeing this without Javier in that role... but, you know, I liked it! Shows it can be done in lots of ways

[rji]

Great acting guys.

[theinspiredmickeyd]

Wow, good acting! :D Nice job

[YuriGod]

that wannabee anton guys looks like an idiot. He looks like a stupid little midget trying to be tough. I would slap this punk around if he was in my gas station.

[funcoolsmart]

Really well done. I'm impressed. Good acting, nice directing, nice take considering this was before the movie. Shows how a movie can be completely different even if the script stays the same. Very cool.

[thedudewhodonttalk18]

Interesting approach. I liked it. good job man.

[whispertequiero]

Nice video shoot. Acting was really good. Keep in mind that this was shot before the movie release.

[m3talmilitia15]

This would be perfect if it weren't for the machines in the background. Still really great though.

[tonymontana69pimp]

Hey guys you should retire right where you started. I think this guy would be a better George Bush impersonator than trying to act out "this badass scene".

[Atrius07]

Eh, I thought it was pretty well done. Can't improve on the movie though.

[polterguis]

Not bad guys - esp towards the end. That scene was so well done in the movie I can't see how to improve on that.

[Suyiey]

Honestly, before watching the real one I woulda sworn this was the original, maybe they had a different main char for a scene.

[eddieg2112]

I noticed some of the dialouge (sic) was directly from the book...nice touch. Not a bad job..it got better towards the end

[ishbla]

hhaha he looks like George Bush with stubble.

[mohali87]

AWESOME, it was just the modern day coin toss scene, nicely done!

[dsschne]

Sam RULES!!!

[Beale64]

Very good acting!

[JustAddWater69]

better than the movie

[realmeanguy]

A different take on the scene. You know, I kinda liked it and I'm THE MEAN GUY! editing was good

[The11thDawn]

Nice acting/directing! Love the whole coin cleaning addition. Adds suspense.

[superhotguyodell]

Great video. Dalton O'Dell
