The Sopranos Episode 12 Two Men Attempt to Kill Tony Soprano

[apark02]

the wind saved tonys ass that day

[ShareTheMike]

I think it's very realistic...These two hit men weren't trained by the Navy Seals...They are amateurs who have no freakn idea what they are doing....and they are up against a lifelong Mafia man who's been shot at before....

[Cruisey1234]

If you pause it at 1:19 look there's like 2 guys just sat on a doorstep not even giving a shit. They probably worked for Junior, right? :)

[ShareTheMike]

@Cruisey1234 brilliant...good eye...It makes the scene twice as good, and shows once again the brilliance of David Chase....In fact the indifference of the two bystanders might be the point of the whole scene...i.e. these things happen in the world cause nobody gives a sh8...

[ShareTheMike]

@Cruisey1234 For something similar...(the background snippet is the point of the scene)....check out the video "Salvatore "Big Pussy" Bonpensiero's ghost watching Tony Soprano"...

[Cruisey1234]

@ShareTheMike Yeah, I know the scene you mean, where they're at Tony's house, he opens that cabinet with the mirror on and you get a glimpse of Pussy watching the trio. That scared the shit out of me first time I saw it!

[bareknuckles2u]

"hey, I'm gonna shoot ya, but first let me fire a few shots from close range and miss...oh shit, let me get the gun right up close so you can grab it from me...oh shit!" X2!

[Eddierangers1989]

I love that scream, when the second guy shows. RAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

[WhatWouldNinjaDo1]

anyone else notice the Godfather reference... Orange juice represents oranges

[bannedfromutube1]

Lol. Niggers are so fucking useless. They can't even kill people right.

[Mills997]

My fucking orange juice! You bastards!

[kevinb1100]

Did anybody notice the guy in black running across the street behind Tony's vehicle *twice*? Once at around 0:57 just as Tony is shutting the door, and again at about 1:17 as the world's worst marksman falls lifeless away from the window.

WHO IS THIS MAN

[chrisshitchens]

@kevinb1100 Congrats, you have ADD.

[kevinb1100]

@chrisshitchens Quite the opposite, I've watched this clip far too many times. Tony's hypnotizing face-jiggle as he initially turns toward the gunman is just too entrancing to break free from.

[Colakills]

I cannot find this version of the song anywhere on youtube... Anyone have any idea where to find this version?

[Jacksn42]

@Colakills 'Tiny Tears' by Tindersticks. It's on Youtube and on #2 'Sopranos Soundtrack.

[stopscrewingaround11]

Fuck that that OJ was probably bloody god damn expensive!

[88lostprophets88]

let the man drink his OJ

[joeyxl3456]

@88lostprophets88 lol

[4AJWP]

I guy wasn't even running when the car was almost at full speed.

[TheCaliCapitalist]

@4AJWP

At !:39 you see that their is a ledge on those old SUV's. He was standing on it

[4AJWP]

@TheCaliCapitalist If he was standing on it his head would be above the car.

[MobKnowledge]

Yeah, these two incompetent crooks happen to be black, but there are also a lot of dumb Italian crooks in this show: Matt and Sean, Jackie, Jr., Christopher and Paulie had more than their fair share of dumbass moments (surprised Paulie made it to the end), and the older guys like Richie and Feech probably would still be around if they didn't undermine/underestimate Tony.

[bigblackracoon]

LOL that was the most unprofessional, poorly executed hit ever! I mean damn even the average person who has never been in a life or death situation could've survived.

[grizzleybearz282004]

dose and body know the name of the song that was playing when tony was getting the paper and a drink thanks

[litedave]

They should have finished him off right there and then. Stupid.

[lansky52]

while its unrealistic..... they attempted to make it more realalistic using 2 black negros to do the killing since negros can fuck up a cup of coffee

[Familyguyisbetterthe]

@lansky52 Figures that comment came from a youtube troll. Glad to see you out from under your bridge. (How did i know?) Im sure your asking... Your profile says 1000 words.

[intrax3000]

@lansky52 "black negro..." thats my new most favorite phrase. 

[joeyxl3456]

@lansky52 what a racist thing to say AND you got 12 thumbs up. what a world huh.

[987bouk]

@lansky52 racism at its finest....prick

[FinJeffin]

@lansky52 .. "Black Negro's?" Wouldn't just the word "Negro's" be sufficient? I don't think they come in any other colour, as in "White Negro's" for example, that wouln't make a whole lot of sense would it.

[barneycockburn]

@lansky52 Thus the expressions, "more fucked up than a nigger's checkbook," or "that guy could fuck up a one car nigger funeral..."

[fumebox]

They don't always get gun stuff right. Several times they have have guys continue firing after emptying the magazine on an automatic acompanied by CLICKCLICKCLICK sound effects. Sorry it just doesn't happen that way.

[codfanatic95]

Funny, just like in the godfather. Oranges, journal and two pricks

[QuikDJ]

Best series ever

[TheVenturino123]

tony's laugh is priceless

[friedrichsalzmann]

The fact that the hit is so unrealistic makes the scene even better.

[batboyjhg]

Black number 1 should have a)worn his glasses and b) not gotten his head into the window, just kept shooting, and the second guy should have just kept shooting after killing his partner.

[theunusualsuspectstv]

@1.32 there is no clip in that gun

[theunusualsuspectstv]

Tony is sooo funny is the scene after!!!

[theunusualsuspectstv]

doesn't matter how unrealistic it may seem! this is Tony Soprano fate was on his side and the hitmen didn't know what they were doing!

[stopscrewingaround11]

1:37 the car switches from a 99 style dashboard to an 88-94 dashboard....weird?

[Magmaboy231]

"Dead now motha fucka!"

[SopranosFan57]

Orange juice

[harkyo]

That's why you never extend your arm when you fire @ someone close-range. Idiots. Very unrealistic, but hey, it's a story. He's no Steven Seagal.

[ElComanchero]

1:18.. I understand it's difficult to create a realistic assassination attempt scene, but this is way too unrealistic. What is he doing? Giving Tony his gun? Why? WHY

[PabloDPena]

wasn't this a dream sequence?

[SmokeRingsPipeDreams]

@PabloDPena Not this, other parts of the episode where hallucinations though.

[JGD714]

One, in The Sopranos, black men are idiots and suck at shooting.

Two, they could say that both black men were poor hitmen, this would mean they probably were weaklings compared to a excesively fed fatso and probably nervous. Also they could say their status made them buy low quality weapons, wich would decrease accuracy.

[JGD714]

@SmokeRingsPipeDreams That's right. Both the Glock and the Sig are high quality handguns, but who says they were correctly maintained? Or who says the sights were correctly aligned? Or who says they aren't Chinese copies, wich we all know, Chinese love to do in mass production making them cheap AND low quality?

[SmokeRingsPipeDreams]

@JGD714  Actually there is a website about the guns used in the

Sopranos and they actually show the guns in question. This was a glock 19 and a Sig 228. Though you are right there were a couple other fake no name guns used on the show.

[JGD714]

@SmokeRingsPipeDreams Yeah that's not what I meant. I did not put in question whetever those were the guns used or their -normal- quality. I meant that they probably were bought in the streets, wich means -Less maintenance- wich in turn gives poor accuracy.

[kulgan18]

Yea this scene makes no sense. Mickey said they were supposed to be good.

It would have made a little more sense if Tony actually had a piece. And then the guy shoots inside the car and misses? WTF.

[BayAreaOrBust]

Those men DO NOT know how to shoot!

[theporksicle]

Would it not have been wiser to have approached Tony either when he was away from his car, let's face it he wouldn't be very fast on his feet, or at least approach from in front of his car so you could shoot him through the windscreen rather than getting up close?

I love The Sopranos but I have to agree with seekisforme5, this scene is pretty unrealistic.

[pjaic1]

that scream that Tony lets out is just so real, can't really explain it but it;s brilliant acting.

[KiloByte69]

This scene makes no sense.

[mymanjay]

Yes these are two hit men that should have been beat if they both lived. I mean to miss like that in broad daylight are you serious. Where in the world did he learn how to shoot. I mean if you are going to get somebody that important could you really afford to miss.

[midlantic1]

Best part is Tony laughing as he got away! Great charactor trait

[SmokeRingsPipeDreams]

The actor playing the first shooter shot straight. If he had been doing the hit in real life, Tony would have been pushing up daisies. I bet that actor had some real life training with a pistol at some point. Most actors who don't have training pull the gun off target very badly, (with their trigger finger pull) this guy pulled that trigger like a professional.

[jackstein104]

who the fuck hired these guys that's what i always wanted to know

[SmokeRingsPipeDreams]

@jackstein104 Junior

[Gman6755]

stupid jigaboos can't do anything right!!!

[EricIkkie]

one of my favorite sopranos moment great scene

[ltcurry]

one of the most powerfull scenes in tv in the past 10 years, The show was briliant and moving.

[qsergyuko]

Why was he buying a paper he gets it delivered to the house?Hmmm odd.

[ltcurry]

@qsergyuko Its called the Ny times, LOL.

He prob gets the local Liberal BS as most of us do.

[SmokeRingsPipeDreams]

@qsergyuko He was buying a racing form.

[tonypanz]

Tough as he was, Tony Soprano never had the makings of a varsity athlete. Lol

[BrutalTruthGuy]

@tonypanz SON OF A BITCH!!! lol

[dheart7]

1:19 LOL@ TWO GUYS! THROUGH WINDOW, AMUSED.

[adh2287]

Did Tony's mother really set this up? I thought the rap executive guy did it to get back at them for not producing Defiler. I'm on season two and a little confused.

[RalphvanderPoel]

Tony Soprano buys and drinks at the beginning of this scene. Godfather reference?

[dallasgambit]

@ 1:32 theres no clip in the gun

[lordreed2]

@A50B3201 Youre probably mad because your mom is at home sitting on a 13" black cock. LMAO

[side89winder]

Anyone else notice "The Godfather" reference?

Oranges......orange juice.......

[ikosabre]

Funny to see the two guys just sitting there on the wall, when Tony grabs the other assassins gun. There just like, "Oh look at that"

[seekisforme5]

Quite possibly the most unrealistic scene in the Sopranos. How the hell did the assassin miss twice and get managed to get himself caught in a modified headlock? Then Tony grabs the other guy's gun? Really unrealistic.

[Frozintoe]

@seekisforme5 well, when holding a 9mm with one hand and walking as well, the accuracy of the shot decreases drastically, as for the headlock, tony was clearly fighting for his life, and as for grabbing the other guys gun, again it was tony fighting for his life, a little thing we call desperation, ive heard of hit attempts that were botched a hell of a lot worse than this

[Krebcakes]

@seekisforme5 handguns, even at close range are unreliable.

[steamrice2]

@seekisforme5 First bullet was shot as he was still raising the gun, therefore it hit lower resulting in Tony's orange juice glass to break. Second bullet I don't really know, I'm just guessing recoil or wind. Third attempt was just himself being an idiot , Tony being quick and grabbing the gun with one hand and the black man with the other. As for the second guy's part, unrealistic.

[itsmypostbox]

@seekisforme5

monkeys dont know how to use tools.

thats how this happened.

[jordyvanbuel]

@seekisforme5 It has nothing to do with realism, but with symbolism. 1. This was a great reference to the assassination attempt of Don Vito Corleone in the Godfather. 2. At the time this happened, Tony was completely depressed and needed this spark of ''survival of the fittest'' to come back to his senses.

[guitarxgaming64]

@seekisforme5 because he was no assassin. as tony self said: "two black guys with 9mm's" these guy's obviously didnt know how to handle a gun :p

[furDaLuLz]

@seekisforme5 it's a nod to The Godfather..... in my opinion

orange juice instead of oranges :)

[jazmethodz]

@seekisforme5 Because the sopranos always depict blacks as idiots

[labartic]

@seekisforme5 youd be surprised. blacks dont aim for shitttttt

[MAnnaconduit1]

@seekisforme5

the reason was becasue he was a fucking idiot, and tried to shoot from across the street rather than close up, also he was a fucking poor shot, so when he got close enough tony used his strength and skill to disarm them, then the other guy shot at tony who was struggling with the other hit mans head. the second guy was shocked that he had just killed the first hit man and tony took advantage of that, it is actually quite plausible, the thing is the hitmen were not pro's that's why

[ePirate7]

@MAnnaconduit1

What have you been swallowing? Both of the thugs went right up and put the barrel right in Tony's face. Especially the second guy. When his friend was killed, his reaction was to be vacuumed into the passenger seat.

I could see the black guy shooting his friend or the other guy missing Tony, but why wasn't the second guy firing multiple shots when he was closing in.

You must believe Tony Soprano really exists.

[harkyo]

@MAnnaconduit1 Exactly.

This show is filled with mooks, from all sides, fucking up their hits, (and lines with their colourful vernacular and malapropisms) . It's part of the fun!

[longhorngent11]

@seekisforme5

Whatever man just go with it. it all adds to the flavor. what would you know about making a show like this?

[Crumblybiscuit]

@seekisforme5 Because they're hood rats, they can't shoot properly.

[zenmonkey666]

@seekisforme5 well, tony reacts fast, but you're right. awesome scene anyway.

[AccordingToKel]

@seekisforme5 I see your point, but you'd be surprised about the shit which happens in "the fog of war".

[deleoa471]

@seekisforme5 LOL IT A SHOW MAN I KNOW IF IT WAS REAL HE PROBABLY DEAD BY UNCLE JUNIOR HIT LOL

[abmangaka]

@seekisforme5 I think it was the show's example of miraculous luck. The Sopranos establishes itself as rooted in reality (as opposed to something like Tarantino or Guy Ritchie) so when something so improbable happens we get a stronger feeling of relief or awe.

[liljoker123456]

@seekisforme5 i dont think its unrealistic the guy doing the hit dont know what they are doing

[1poiuztrewq2]

Great scene. Music fits perfectly.

[88pie88]

all he wanted was some OJ.
