@DaDushbag No shit that's about what my dance teacher used to say! "If every war in the world could be solve by a dance battle..." West Side Story should inspire everyone ;-)
The Riff character is definitely the showier, and more fun, role in this movie. The main character, Tony, has only one dance scene at the high school and it's hardly a dynamic dancing part.
@kataisa3 I read in a book about the making of this movie that Elvis Presley was supposed to play Tony but a bigshot in the production didn't want him for it because he looked too dark and couldn't really dance. In the end, Richard Beymer was cast as Tony. He couldn't sing or dance at all so his voice was dubbed.
My favorite parts?? "Vich vay??" "That vay!" (they way his voice gets high when saying "that vay") and "Gee Officer Krupke.....*whack* KRUP YOU!!!!" Lol
Why is the sound so frequently out of sync on YouTube? It's a big problem with clips like this one where the action, music, and lyrics are so carefully inter-related.
@jayqueen120 Tell you one thing for free, Riff is dead by the time this song is sung in the stage version ;) I think...I was always in the dressing room when it was on and no one ever came to get me so ....:)
In the original Broadway script this song and cool were switched. For the motion picture the director felt this song was much better before the rumble and Cool fit better after. I agree, Cool is so much more emotional after the rumble where this is more lighthearted and funny.
I play krupke in our school's upcoming play...needless to say the other cast members have really had fun with this...I didn't get top billing, but it's like I'm a star. "Maybe ona counta I brings them doughnuts."
Riff to me is West-side story. His character was so cool, but at the same time flawed. He will always be my favorite character. Sometimes I wished that his character was the one who fell in love with Marie, but still leaving Tony character there as a friend who is trying to get Riff to give up the gangsta life. Tony is definitely the voice of reason, but too boring of a character to have been made the lead as Maria's lover. Tony should have been the sidekick to Riff.
@Shortyjored88 I never thought of it like that. Now that you mention it , it would have been a much better story if riff and maria were in love like you said. Thatd be cool.
The red headed actress/dancer who plays Riff's girl friend, is not actually in the number, you can tell a stand in is used and then when they enter the drug store, it is the actress once again.
This film is epic and the story is still sadly relevant today all around the world in one form or another depending where you are. Humans really don't change things if you look at history!! It does repeat itself....
Golly moses I'm depraved on account of im deprived!! ;) Heehee love Russ Tamblyn!!<3 Btw if all the gangsters on the streets were like this it might be sorta worse....they do kinda kill each other in case you didn't notice....(despite their awesome singing:P )
@BlameItOnTheBoogie93 Oh his name was Bernardo? Oh I liked him too. I thought that Chino or something guy died. I think Bernado is is handome :D Sorry
O.O OMG LOOOOOVE BOTH THIS MOVIE & THIS SONG!!!!!!!!! thx SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH 4 POSTING THIS!!!!!!! lol I love the whole last line: "Officer Krupke, we're down on our knees, cuz no one wants a fella with a social disease! Officer Krupke, what are we to doooo? Gee, Officer Krupke, KRUP YOU!!" lol!!!! xD
my favorite part of the movie was always "krup you!" idk why (:
