[NORDSTRAND83]

Anyone know if this movie is any good? Cant find a single review of it on Youtube.

[TheRubronegro85]

[RRVCrinale]

[jasonwheel]

they're sitting there talking about baseball while this guy's getting slapped silly by a mandingo wearing cowboy boots, a jockstrap and nothing else. truly sick and hilarious.

[YOUREAPSOW]

[gallyun1]

@YOUREAPSOW You are almost right, but that's not Hightower (Bubba Smith r.i.p.) from Police Academy. At first, I thought it him was as well.

[jasonwheel]

bring that bouncer guy on. i could take him...lol.

[liamcear12]

Best interrogation scene ever!

[seanreillyireland]

@liamcear12 Maybe if this had been more well known, Tarantino wouldn't have been considered all that big a deal.

[liamcear12]

@seanreillyireland Plus there was another 46 minutes of the film that was cut which would have summed up the remainder of the plot line which upset Pacino.

[guitarlawyer75]

Jay Acavone is a very good actor and I wish I could see him on screen more often

[MrBadfish702]

i dont think the rodney king riots would have happend if people knew police brutality could be so fun.

[KellyGreen5555]

This is weird.

[zipjok]

Ah yes. The infamous floating ball test. And administered by Al Bundy.  Nothing could be more frightening.

[hargohargo2]

@zipjok  lol true, they picked a weird name for such a comic charachter like calling homer simpson ''jack the ripper''

[vidpt001]

The victim is Jay Acovone. This was his first major film. A really great actor.

[jasonwheel]

to say this was a classic movie is to say the very least. i remember seeing it in the theater when it first came out. it just blew your mind. holds up well too.

[hargohargo2]

@jasonwheel they cut over 40 mins out and worse still they never kept the film that they cut so its lost forever. those lost scenes were supposedly centred around the pacino charachter and his relationship with his father, i have always wondedrd wheter he was the killer as he was clearly in love with the young man who lived next door and felt guilty about his bisexual feelings.

[dLsWiFT26]

Floating Ball test...lol

[baileal]

After all of that the prints did not match favorite line in the movie.

"The prints don't match"

[joeblowthehot]

this is an assault

[YOUREAPSOW]

IT IS FUCKING HIGHTOWER FROM POLICE ACADEMY,OR BUBBA SMITH'S STUNT DOUBLE,IT DEFINITELY WAS NOT THE COWBOY FROM THE VILLAGE PEOPLE AND THESE GUYS PROBABLY FARTED OUT A GERBIL IN THIS MOVIE

[CitySkin09]

Jim Brown's notorious cameo.

[CitySkin09]

Fuckin' Al Bundy is in this movie??

[cnm2908]

@CitySkin09; Yes that is Ed O'Neil at 2:31. Then at 3:27 he says, "We're gonna fill that sink with water and we're gonna dip your balls in it. If they don't float, you're our main man." What would that prove? He would later play Al Bundy.

[hargohargo2]

@cnm2908  fuckin hell he looks so young in this lol

[motelcalifornia]

That's hilarious!! at 1:02

[granddad2002]

William Freidkin is an insane sadistic fucker. I try to watch his work... but there is something... like if i met somebody with the personality of his movies... I won't to get the fuck away as fast as I can. 

[hotchik9986]

I wonder if this is what the police in America realy do, a large black man in a jock strap? LOL

[Silvertrine]

@hotchik9986 They're not this creative anymore. If they think they can get away with it they'll just beat your ass.

[chopin65]

LOL. What the fuck was up with that black guy?

[44madhatter]

apparently back in the 70s the NYPD used to have an african american police officer dress up in a jock strap/ cowboy boots and he would slap the suspects like this in order to humilliate them and break them, the thinking being that no judge or jury would believe that this would happen and also the suspects were unlikely to report it because of the humiliation factor

[chopin65]

That would be difficult to explain to a little old lady on a jury. LOL.

[7beers]

@chopin65 That little old lady was once a young slut, don't forget.

[chopin65]

@7beers Maybe.

[partyredfat]

Who the fuck was that?

[wesleygibson2008]

In an interview with director, William Friedkin regarding the 2007 DVD release of 'Cruising' (1980), he explained the puzzling interrogation scene in which a black cop, wearing only a jockstrap and a cowboy hat, walks in and smacks Al Pacino. The silent character was apparently based on a real person that NYPD used to elicit criminal confessions. Cops figured that if perpetrators protested that their confession had been coerced by a jockstrapped black cowboy, nobody would believe it.
