I read that these parts were originally written for Robert De Niro (Mickey Rourke's role) and Al Pacino (Eric Roberts' role). If that's true, I'm finding it hard to imagine.
overacting, wow! do you know how hard that is to make the transition of sobbing they took my thumb to seconds later asking what happened to the apartment in a calm voice? Most actors wouldn't be able to pull it off
Those of you that think Eric Roberts is "overacting" here..... I knew people JUST like this growing up in Brooklyn. Always on the edge of madness. And always getting in over their heads. Being over emotional. And as REAL as you can get. So go back to your soft suburbs and circle jerk your pansy friends into a mindless stupor. And get out of my beloved Brooklyn you Napolean Dynamite lookalike hipster DOUCHEBAGS.
lol!!! I still think Robert's is having a bit of a field day here, but I agree with your assessment of the current state of Brooklyn. hipster fucking assholes who shop at "co-ops". I haven't lived there in a while, but considering the fact that every pretentious little twit I meet from NY proudly proclaims that they live in Brooklyn, I'm not sure I want to go back...
@mindstormsabrewin Too funny, thats what we say about all you creepy Fucking Jew Yorker Hamsters that moved to Los Angeles and ruined it!! Your right though, your hipster, yipsters are real hardcore pieces a SHIT, faggots that need to die!! brookllyn and the piss smell is all yours, please stay there and tell the other scumbags to stay there. Have a nice day
@bymaxjr No shit! I AM staying right here. This is MY home. and you're right... hipsters ARE hardcore pieces of shit. But for some reason I feel we are NOT on the same page when it comes to your "Jew-York" idea. I get the feeling that you represent something even DARKER than the hipster menace. Your Komment Komes Klose to things I've heard before from people I'd rather not get too close to. So don't you worry..... wherever you are..... I'll try to be on the other side of the country!
@mindstormsabrewin Good, I dont wanna be live next to any militant jews that think they are there gods chosen people!! Kool, we wont ever have to meet, till your kind expects us goyam to fight one of your battles for you, while you relax , nosh and bitch about jew haters!
@bymaxjr I don't like people that think they are "chosen" or "holy" either- especially bigots! Not everyone in NY is jewish. You DO know that don't you? NYC is a mixed culture. And EVERYONE you can imagine is here. And people you can't imagine are here too. Yeah it's strange sometimes, but I think that's why I like it here. NYC is not for the intolerant or the impatient. We got our tensions but generally people learn to deal with each other without mayhem. That's why NYC is so hated by bigots.
@mindstormsabrewin Nah, jew york is hated for its people, jew is a stated of mind, and the world does'nt revolve around a dirty urine stinking town! Bigots come in all shapes and colors ya know?
@bymaxjr If the world doesn't revolve around my city then why is every outsider in the world clamoring and pushing their way in? THEY are the ones turning my city into a urinal. The outsiders storming in are the ones making life intolerable. Things were actually better back when people were fleeing the city. They ran to the suburbs. People like you. That left behind REAL New Yorkers. People that were tough and clever and knew how to survive.
@mindstormsabrewin Because you liberal fools throw money at them to make yourselves feel better? I have no urge, never did, never will, never been to your city, except the airports, so dont worry about me, Its ALL yours! WHY, did you REAL JEW YORKERS come here and destroy my city.We dont, never will, want you people! Everything in new york is like 10 yrs behind, whoever came up with it, your just the narcisistic, pushy assholes who thought you "Discovered It", thanks for staying there though!
@bymaxjr If you ever change your mind and would like to visit I'd be more than happy to meet you and give you a big Brooklyn welcome. You'd never forget it.
@mindstormsabrewin I certainly will, I love pizza, jewish & all ethnic food, I hear thats one thing they know over there, All we got here is Shitty mejican, one generation and they forgot how to cook there own fucking cuisine??
@mindstormsabrewin Oh ya, urine stinking new yorkers arent the only welcoming lot, come visit LA and we will take you shark fishing, we need some stink bait! The one way boat rides to the Channel islands are great, You will never forget, or remember it, for that matter? Now go get robbed by a nigger on the subway!
@bymaxjr This is fun! Very rare I get to communicate with someone that "gets it" even if we are on opposite sides. I'm not sure if I'm arguing with an enemy or the mirror! You obviously DO know NY pretty well. I never said this was paradise. But it is home sweet home. Shark fishing. IS THAT how you guys handle your "problems"? Very...... ecological! Bravo. Somehow I get the idea that we have more in common than either would like to admit. P.S.- I've NEVER been robbed. Guess why! Peace from NY!
@mindstormsabrewin Your Blaaaaaaaack? salom salekum my brotha? Im about as white as they get, but im still a fucking nigger in societies eyes! UUUUHH thats scary, I got something in common with a city slicker? Gonna have to contemplate that tommorrow morning when I go surfing? I been robbed once, by 3 mejicans, it is a total rush!
@bymaxjr Salom salakkum shake and bake um! Man I'm as white as a cadaver! And I get about as much exercise. But your right we're still all just ni***rs to the one's up top. Peace. All that matters is our mutual love for this great film! Surf's up bro! Just look out for them sharks ( and them Mejics). Peace!
@mindstormsabrewin Roberts' performance in this film has been with me for 20 years. If he's chewing the set in this one then it's perfect casting because the character is believable bigger than life. Like Mindstorms, I know people like this, vulnerable, emotional, dependent. They act out. This contrast is essential for the relationship between these two opposite characters, isn't it? one holds too much in, the other has no control.
@mindstormsabrewin It's a good job real guys like you exist to tell everyone else about the real world which is real and nobody knows except you and your real experiences of real life with real people who are real. Nobody else in the world has experienced real life which is real, so thank fuck you're here to shake up these people and make them see real life in all its reality because you're real.
@BoredOfThisSite Seems like a LOT of "real" people agree with me judging from all the thumbs up I have. I knew just by looking at your name, I'd get nothing but douchebag hipster attitude from you. What's wrong hipster, did I touch a nerve in your perpetually hung-over brain? I don't think you realize how HATED you people really are. Everywhere you go you inspire disgust and loathing. A normal person would feel bad about it but you are a degenerate roach like the rest of your species.
@mindstormsabrewin Dynamite comeback. Did they teach you that on the mean streets of Brooklyn? When you weren't, you know... being really, really real to the max?
@mindstormsabrewin HAHAHHA Oh man.. well said. I knew a bunch of these nuts too growing up in Bridgeport/Stratford CT as a kid. We had some real life hooligans and numbskulls. These guys would get into some serious trouble and this was like... everyday. I am amazed that more of us didnt end up dead.
I watched this last night cuz my pops recommended it to me as an old movie he liked + ROTTEN TOMATOES gives it an 89% but I dont see whats so good about it even ARTIE LANGE has it as one of his favorite movies. I guess you had to see it in the 80's when it first came out & not in 2010 (lol) DARRLY HANNAH definitly looked very edible & BURT YOUNG always plays tough guys good I think cuz in BACK TO SCHOOL he was the muscle also. man ERIC ROBERTS on CELEBERITY REHAB & MICKEY ROURKE face = DAMN!
@RUSSTRADAMUS yeah it just showcases Mickey Rourke and Eric Roberts' talents ...for all the doubters out there. If this movie had instead Nicolas Cage and Kurt Russel instead of the two...I probably wouldn't care one bit. Mickey and Roberts are incredible actors.
yeah they are both good actors. I wouldnt say great but good
MICKEY ROURKE though looks like he had a clown mask welded to his face & ERIC ROBERTS on a rehab show for (WEED) is silly any other drug or alcahol but (WEED) like CHAPELLE said in HALF BAKED I dont do drugs just WEED (lol) THE WRESTLER was a cool ass movie & ROURKE has his career going with that movie & IRON MAN 2 & others. ROBERTS still makes cameos in big movies (EXPENDABLES - DARK KNIGHT) so good for them
These two guys are fantastic actors...sometimes even talent explodes movies that aren't as well known or even as whole, good. There's good acting even in bad movies. This movie isn't bad at all, but I watch for Mickey Rourke and Eric Roberts.
Julia's acting is so bad, she doesn't get cast in 2/3's of the films she auditioned for & other actresses get them instead. She stunk so horrible that she did a Broadway show & it got shut down same week. That's why her asking salary was lowered.
Any actor that is talented can do Broadway theatre, remember that.
@MsMoofasa Julia Roberts is terribly overrated...her acting technique consists of giants smiles and laughs. Basically, she is more of a celebrity than a true blue artist.
I have to say that Julia's so-called "acting" will never even come close to this portrayal .He hits the mark dead on in every scene.Julias acting...,I can see right through all the fake emotions...especially on Mary Reilly
@trulysarcastic i went down to the video store and bought , star 80,runawaytrain and the pope of greenwich......its kinda sad that these two star's did not get the career they deserved...phenomenal actors...they should release more big budget movies with eric robert playing......
think hollywood sucks, it takes great actors, uses them up and spits them out and leaves them to be forgotten with time..... fuck hollywood..... eric roberts rocks!!!! would like to see julia roberts acts like this with out over smiling!!
ONE GREAT MOVIE, THIS IS THE BEST SCENE EVER. TWO GREAT ACTING JOBS... WISH THESE TWO HAD DONE A LOT MORE, THEY DESERVE A LOT MORE CREDIT FOR BEING GREAT ACTORS, NOT LIKE SOME ONE THE ONES AROUND TODAY...
@gqmighty Nah just spastic and impulsive, who acts first and thinks later. Plus, in this scene the character's drugged up on the entire bottle of painkillers that he took.
I came here because Mickey Rourke said, ERIC ROBERTS IS THE MAN, but I've never heard of this film ....strange Eric is THE sexiest actor Roberts appeared in The Killers video Mariah Carey's Akon's "Smack That" appeared in Godhead's a panelist on Hollywood Squares. In 2009 Mickey Rourke, who starred with Roberts in The Pope of Greenwich Village, hoped that Roberts would soon be offered a role which would resurrect his career in the way that The Wrestler rejuvenated Rourke's
Eighties were the Mickey Rourke...He was a true katz.and now he is desperate in the physical sense, but he is still trying to be cool. which is positive....... "life is short brother"
ps I watched this movie three times and the acting is excellent.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I'm so glad I never saw this movie. You guys can say what you want but it looks like a shitty low budget film with overly loud music and over the top character acting.
I love the change of pace in this scene. When Paulie notices the apartment is in a mess, he ask Charlie what is going on, forgetting all about his thumb. He gives him a lesson on how to treat women. Then he re-realizes his thumb is gone. Outstanding acting.
I've always admired both Rourke and Roberts. Rourke was awesome in Year of the Dragon, and Roberts has rarely been given a role deserving of his ability.
Let's be grateful that someone had the intelligence to have both of them in this sorely underrated sleeper from the 80s, with a staggering character arc and killer plot.
Of all the "Did you ever see...?" films I can think of in my 50 years of loving movies, this is one of the finest I can think of!
I saw this one, on video tape about 25 years ago at my dad's place in CA. I fell in love with Mickey Rourke and have loved him ever since. Eric Roberts should have been, at least, nominated for an Oscar for this one. He just captures the character of Paulie so well. The performances are incredible.
fantastic movie....

@trulysarcastic Eric was amazing in 1983's Star 80. He should've gotten his first Oscar nomination for that role.

ONE GREAT MOVIE, THIS IS THE BEST SCENE EVER. TWO GREAT ACTING JOBS... WISH THESE TWO HAD DONE A LOT MORE, THEY DESERVE A LOT MORE CREDIT FOR BEING GREAT ACTORS, NOT LIKE SOME ONE THE ONES AROUND TODAY...

@gqmighty Nah just spastic and impulsive, who acts first and thinks later. Plus, in this scene the character's drugged up on the entire bottle of painkillers that he took.

WTF? How did 20 years turn Mickey into such a sloppy-looking bastard?
cb2198 1 year ago
I came here because Mickey Rourke said, ERIC ROBERTS IS THE MAN, but I've never heard of this film ....strange Eric is THE sexiest actor Roberts appeared in The Killers video Mariah Carey's Akon's "Smack That" appeared in Godhead's a panelist on Hollywood Squares. In 2009 Mickey Rourke, who starred with Roberts in The Pope of Greenwich Village, hoped that Roberts would soon be offered a role which would resurrect his career in the way that The Wrestler rejuvenated Rourke's

Eighties were the Mickey Rourke...He was a true katz.and now he is desperate in the physical sense, but he is still trying to be cool. which is positive....... "life is short brother"
ps I watched this movie three times and the acting is excellent.

I'm so glad I never saw this movie. You guys can say what you want but it looks like a shitty low budget film with overly loud music and over the top character acting.

Come on guys, while the acting is funny and entertaining, it is not what a dago would say.
I know, because if my thumb was cut off, I would not be doing what Paulie is doing !

Yeah, you'd take off over to the dude's house who took your thumb so you could whack him, right?
Probably couldn't hitchhike there, though.
hardpack187 2 years ago
I love the change of pace in this scene. When Paulie notices the apartment is in a mess, he ask Charlie what is going on, forgetting all about his thumb. He gives him a lesson on how to treat women. Then he re-realizes his thumb is gone. Outstanding acting.
cmjohnson61 2 years ago
I agree. Such a great character piece, really. Eric Roberts really owned it in this one. Both he and Rourke didn't get the credit they deserved.

I've always admired both Rourke and Roberts. Rourke was awesome in Year of the Dragon, and Roberts has rarely been given a role deserving of his ability.
Let's be grateful that someone had the intelligence to have both of them in this sorely underrated sleeper from the 80s, with a staggering character arc and killer plot.
Of all the "Did you ever see...?" films I can think of in my 50 years of loving movies, this is one of the finest I can think of!
Salut!

I saw this one, on video tape about 25 years ago at my dad's place in CA. I fell in love with Mickey Rourke and have loved him ever since. Eric Roberts should have been, at least, nominated for an Oscar for this one. He just captures the character of Paulie so well. The performances are incredible.
