Marathon Man Road Rage

[gorcanto]

Overall some pretty good insults. I like "You limburger-loving schmuck!" and "Get going you Mercedes bastard!" I used to think he was saying "long summer". It's "Langsamer" which means "slow" or "take it easy". It's an awesome movie from an awesome book.

[VanillaLimeCoke]

This is kinda funny how the guy messes his car up after coming from the car service place.

[EarTipper]

Totally EPIC Scene!

I love the Jewish guy, he ain't taking any shit!

[henatlbch]

funny how the guys car was stalled the jew in the chevy was hyper and provoked an incident and becomes a hero to some of you had it been the other way around you'd be screaming bloody murder and it would have been anti semitism i guess it's OK when you do it to others but not OK when it's done to you nice double standard

[MooNTHELooN77]

For you, this was one of the oddest car chases ever filmed. But for New York, it was Tuesday.

[sludgefingers]

gehen zum teufel = go to the devil

[Glinkaism1]

In the cast list, Ben Dova (really) is the old Nazi. And Lou Gilbert plays Rosenbaum in the Chevrolet. Gilbert sure looks like an actor who appears in several Woody Allen movies. But no credit listing by that name in those movies.

[blackfreddie223]

if these two survived this they probably would be best friends lol

[epyksOne]

Wow...why is everyone Jewish??

[harlingtonstraker]

The MB Fintail had a common problem when the carburettors got old. I was in the same situation but thankfully in Singapore, not NYC. Singapore was safe ;-)

@epyksOne Probably because it was (at that time) a predominately Jewish district of NYC.

[karenpato1]

@epyksOne It's in a Jewish neighborhood.....it's New York City.

[vanyallo]

One of my fav movie and a great car chase scene. Thx for sharing.

[Psycho9263]

YOU LIMBURGER LOVING SCHMUCK!!!!

[67tr876]

2:26 i know that street its 89th and lex in nyc .

[Jerimiah1977]

Can I have an order of horrible acting with a double side of roasted old guys please?

[zombiemonster]

in a way this scene is very disturbing until the end

[frtw4428]

One DUMB scene! The crash at the end could completely be avoided if those stupid old geezers just hit the brakes!

[MrPomdownunder]

@frtw4428 Yes but then there would be no film.....

[lirr56890]

what's the name of this movie.

[zombiemonster]

@lirr56890 Marathon Man 1976

[Psycho9263]

@lirr56890 Marathon Man

[ryanlock2u]

Leck mich am Arsch: (lit.) Lick me in the ass. (Colloq.) Kiss my ass.

[marmaloon]

They don't show it but the guy in the Mercedes takes a swig of bourbon or something & some sort of pill he got from the glove compartment lol!

[wegaify]

ha ha at the end TOGETHER their burn in hell

[Psycho9263]

I drive trucks I see this all the time in real life.

[TROUSERFLAP]

Jewish guy: " Gain some trifle!"

Nazi: " Long summer, long summer!"

Official script.

[WCD73]

My money's on the old jewish man!!

[lakshmimittal]

Can't find the street scene from near the end on here, the one they parodied in Seinfeld, best bit!

[MissLeigh78]

Love the old Jewish dude. Love him!

[goobernutz]

Why? The old German dude was in distress and wasn't doing anything wrong. The old jewish dude just jumped on his shit for no reason. My vote goes to the German dude. But I haven't watched the whole movie yet, so he might turn out to be a jerk or something and the jewish dude is like a cool guy having a bad day. See kids, that's why stereotypes are bad :)

[goobernutz]

Why doesn't my reply go under the comment that I'm replying to? Anyhow, I just watched the rest of the scene, and as it turns out, the old jewish dude WAS a douche. He killed that old German guy for no reason. That sucks. I think the film maker is trying to make some point about the holocaust or something. Maybe all the jewish people in the theatre stood up at that point and cheered. Who knows. I hope this movie gets better. Tootsie is a good actor.

[MissLeigh78]

LOVE the old Jewish dude!!!!

[MissLeigh78]

He's funny. He makes me giggle.

[secretbint]

Love this. " Long Summer!" Petty conversation from the Nazi.

" Gain some trifle!" from the Jewish guy.

Very odd conversation.

[hopsala1]

He is saying "langsamer", which means "slower". And the other guy understand " long summer" ;-)

[moogyboy6]

Really brilliant how this movie starts off playing like a screwball comedy until that deadly crash--kind of the same approach as "Bonnie and Clyde." Or Schlesinger's own "Midnight Cowboy," for that matter. The scene between Rosenbaum and the auto mechanic which precedes this is hilarious too: "An appointment! What are you, a doctor?"

[secretbint]

I love the way the Jewish gut tells the Nazi to "gain some trifle" at 1:15

The Nazi obviously doesn't like trifle as he looks suitably offended by that particular dessert.

[monezza68]

he rather says "geh zum teufel" which means "go to hell" which is quite an offense :-)

[secretbint]

So, no trifle involved, then?

[Psycho9263]

Does'nt "teufel" mean "Devil"

[Tzimnewman3]

Israeli driving skills!!!!

LOL

[Frostbyte380]

The old guy in the long jalopy is just like my dad used to be. He would be in his old Datsun pickup and if someone cut him off, he would road rage and chase them down the road giving them the finger. A spitting image lol.

[DarkImage11]

lol pause at 3:35

[Rodelu10915]

Just goes to prove, its never too late to burn out. Long summer!

[duncan36]

Well the allegory there isnt hard to see.

[treebella23]

That man in the glasses was crazy! I wouldn't want to run into him!

[SidJustice1]

Great movie. A very memorable scene.

[retromann1]

That was great!

[vo7tage]

Nice Mercedes.

[pilotoatomico]

they were going so slow, they could have stopped before they hit the truck

[deedidee]

1 it's a movie....

2 they're old heavy cars with brakes made out of chocolate..

[ragemanchoo82]

I like that model Mercedes. If it were one of the examples with a stick shift, the Impala's pushing it could have got it started, a rolling-start. :P Im thinking its an automatic, though, due to his lack of shifting...

[Psycho9263]

The guy driving the Impala looks like Larry David

[biglebowski123]

get going you mercedes BASTARD!

[apeandbirdgang]

'you anti semetic bastard, you...'

[Omgitszztop]

That old Jewish guy in the Impala.... might just be the coolest person I've ever seen in a movie.

I get road rage too,.....but that guy is a "road rage god"!!

He threw insults,rammed the back of his car,and chased him down the street.... it don't get better than that.

He friggin owned!!!

That "limburger loving schmuck" blast was the best!!!

[MrPomdownunder]

@Omgitszztop Bear in mind that the old Jew may have survived a deathcamp- he's not in the film for long ! The German was the brother of a war criminal.... It's a good watch I saw it as a teen....

[vibeguru007]

@Omgitszztop i thought he was the biggest ass ive ever seen. one got away i guess.

[Omgitszztop]

I like that 1970 Impala....1968 Impala is my fave.

Marathon Man is an unintentional black comedy!!

Do you have the part where the old Jewish lady recognizes Szell in the diamond distict....and she starts yelling his name.....that part rocks!!

[schizophrantic]

ROTFLMFAO This scene is so hilarious.

[cars1616]

HAHAHA! oh god lol.

[goldyn12345]

hahahah the jewish fella is junior soprano hahah i swear its corrado!

[bbwnpat]

Great clip, but why does the german shout, 'long summer.' ? Is this some kind of nazi code?

[alfriendo2008]

I believe it is a saying some Nazi's used to greet the Jews with when they first arrived at the concentration camps.

[bbwnpat]

oh yeah, that would explain it. Cheers.

[trxyl]

The man says: "Langsamer." ("Slow.") Langsam means "slow" in German.

[secretbint]

On the contrary, he's saying " Long Summer!...Long Summer!". He's trying to make polite conversation with the jewish guy to calm him down.

[moogyboy6]

Again, incorrect...he's saying "langsamer!", German for "Quiet!"; far from making polite, he's basically telling his nemesis to shut up. I also like how he disses Rosenbaum's car, roughly translated "shit on your Chevrolet!" These two senile old cockers could have made a great comedy team if they hadn't blown themselves to kingdome come.

[secretbint]

I am positive that the Nazi is trying to be decent, making polite conversation about the weather: " Long summer! Long summer!"

Meanwhile, the lunatic guy in glasses is wittering on about "Gaining some trifle".

Strange pair, indeed.

[MovieInventor]

@moogyboy6 "langsamer" means "slower" 

for "qiet" wie say "halt den mund" or "halt's maul" -> "shut up"

[moogyboy6]

Ah, I thought it was "quiet." Mein Deutsch ist noch ein bischen rostig. :-P

[magiccat12]

Langsamer- German for hold on a minute.

[ragemanchoo82]

I always liked that Mercedes model. I wonder what the driver is saying? I can get about 10% of it.

[Psycho9263]

He said in German "He has a big mouth but he can't drive like me".

[tine214]

Im certain it might be a 220 or so, but it looks like the bigger of the Benz's from that 60's era.

[ragemanchoo82]

I think you're right. Its that kind with the little tailfins.

[tine214]

I hope so, thanks, but, for the most part until 1967 Most Benz's had that small tailfin look, but remember back in Germany, the models are designated with a "W" and the numbers are like "110" e.g. This car might be the "Heckfloss" class because of the double headlights stacked ontop. Had it been a 190, then it would have had single headlights on each side.

[tine214]

spoke too soon, it may really be a W112 not 110 as I mentioned earlier. Its got to be the 6 cylinder or 4, but certainly looks like a Heckflosse to me.

[tine214]

W111/W112 class, sorry.

[w111w126]

@tine214 The car is a W111 heckflosse. The car has some modifications which make the model uncertain. It appears to have a removed door mirror, and removed inner front lights, meaning the car is probably 1963-65 as USA spec cars had no inner lights from 1962 onward and on all the mirror was moved from fender to door in 1963. At one point the "220" can clearly be read, but the car has larger rear lights of a higher model.

[tine214]

looks like a Mercedes 200-series or so judging from the size of the car

[enalvarado]

This something I'm sure people wish they could do but don't....lol

[reger7]

You never get too old too hate.

[GTTTGT]

move that crate!

[holybear]

This is one of my favorite moments in movie history! So funny, absurd, sad and strong. All of the violence in this flick is great, it's a shame they cut some of Roy's scenes :(

[ragemanchoo82]

They did? o.o Are the scenes available on the DVD? I rented this on DVD a few years back but I don't remember special features..

[holybear]

There are no available scenes that I know of :(

[14zerocero]

eh the tank lorry burns - why?

[Johi2410]

They could have let them die from the accident itself as well, but so the story is more dramatic. That's why. Of course in reality it probably would not explode - probably!

[Mamasan41]

Lawrence Olivier loved this part, as he said he could be "so wonderfully evil" !!! That man was just flat out splendid in everything he did.

[nazibastards]

OMG! There should be an EU directive against these terrorist!!!!!! VOTE NWO Now!

[LtFrankBullitt]

lol the old nazi pwns asses

[dixxjamm]

this scene is genius...it's like a prologue,and it somehow vaguely contains all the elements of the movie(obsession,hatred,lunacy)­. It's also so incredibly cynical and brutal...what a movie. thanx so much for posting this.

[westearp]

crazy asses

omg hate to be on there street

[Andre2010]

is the old man in the mercedes olivier?

[EdZep123]

No, he appears later on. :)

[primeralives]

No it's not Olivier. It's suppose to be his brother. He comes into the movie later.

[zapaados]

LOL its so stupid

[dwarfer777]

them cars bounce an awfull lot!!

[amdinga]

The book was soooooooo much better. Movie wasn't bad, but book was gold.

[xwb9447]

What does the german say after "Jude!" I think he says something about Hitler.

[gordgang]

He says "No wonder Hitler wanted to kill you all!"

He's not a native speaker though, so some of his lines sound a bit weird to a German native speaker.

The line "Geh leck mich am Arsch!", (Go kiss my ass) he delivered very well :)

[WombatHarness]

The German starts by saying, "Slow down," then says something like "Kiss my ass", or "Lick my ass."

[esdtenis]

I think "gay kaken afen yam" in yiddish translates to "go shit in the ocean"

[secretbint]

Actuall, it means 'go piss in your hat'.

[Psycho9263]

I don't mean that, but that was funny. The Jewish Guy yell " gay coken offen yom" which means "Go shit in the river".

[jajceboy]

The best scene from one of the best theillers ever.

This scene is so intense and yet funny. What a exciting way to start a film

[wiggleme]

thanks. Anyone else interested should search for - is it safe - or look at the youtube user trythinking videos.

[Ikophot]

Funny until the bitter end

[7beers]

And the point of this scene is ... ?

[moogyboy6]

To establish that the main bad guy's brother--who I gather is an important part of the diamond-smuggling operation--got killed, setting the chain of events into motion.

[romonechevy2]

LOL

[insane007]

bad spot to stop, but funny. The gasoline truck would have blown up way more than that

[scorpiooooooh]

Not gasoline, home fuel oil.  It probably would not have blown up at all since oil fumes not explosive and very high ignition temps. A directorial error.

[mercoid]

It was a home heating oil truck. It would not have blown up at all.

[majorawol]

When would anything blow up?

[mercoid]

True. Really, it is highly unlikely that anything would blow up. But a home heating oil truck would be the least likely to explode.

As for the message the movie is trying to convey, "Their hate killed them" fine, I get it! Artistic license is okay, but not when conveyed with such an implausible thing as a home heating oil truck blowing up. It is too ridiculous to allow one to suspend disbelief.

[moogyboy6]

That is a pretty lame explosion, with some poor editing besides (continuity errors), but you get to hear the legendary "Universal explosion" sound effect (made famous in countless episodes of The A-Team) in all its glory. Where in NYC was that blowup shot, btw? Next time I take the bus into town I'll have to make a pilgrimage. :-)

[Kmartg]

Hilarious

[GooblinKing123]

Ah...i love that movie

[wiggleme]

Can we have the "is it safe" scene please?

[Hailey2006]

It's kind of like that South Park episode where they took aways all the old people's driving privledges!

[Rockstarkong]

70s movies ROCK!

[Hailey2006]

Of course!

[bmfsports]

Hate and ignorance hurts everyone. Yeah... that's the message. I think. Maybe it's that people need more cookies?
