soooo, how did everyone in the police station die except him and lau. cuz to me, i saw him standing there with smoke and he jiggles keys (or something) at lau in his cell. explain?
This moment consists of 3 scenes (Joker showing the keys to Lau, Gordon saying how the Jokers plan was to be caught, and this scene)
Joker is not driving the car, Lau is, while Joker hanging on to the car frame in the back. I have watched this many times on my bluray copy and you can actually see Lau's hand is struggling holding on to the inner frame of the car (where the seatbelt starts). The swerving of the car is a triumphant jesture of victory, which Joker fully inhales into himself.
This isn't just a movie. It's a piece of art that will pass the test of time. In 30 years this classic will be in "best-of" lists and regarded as an American masterwork, and Nolan will probably rank with the best directors of the 2000s.
@DiadeAngelTV But theres something incredible about the silence of it all, I think that works better. Youll notice the sounds fade out to virtually nothing, not even the car sound, his music isnt playing, its just a show of his enjoyment at what he does
Amazing scene and amazing movie, I love how Christopher Nolan implies that Harvey Dent and Batman are the same, but opposite, the two knights of Gotham City. Harvey is the white Knight because he's a real person without a mask who inspires Gotham by confronting evil, and Batman is the Dark Knight because he does the same, but has to wear a mask since no one would take Bruce Wayne seriously.
and what's great is that dull ominous tone that fades in and drowns out all the noise...like you're suddenly in the Joker's little world of peace and quiet while the whole city is frantically chasing him...fucking brilliant
Wanna talk symbolism remember his quote "Im Dog chasing Car's, I Wound't know what do do with one if I caught it" Can anyone tell me what a Dog's favorite thing to do in a car is???
i remember watching this in the cinema, and you could of heard an ants fart when this scene was on, and the atmosphere was like.....electricity in the air. no one made a sound, no rustling of sweet wrappers, and no one dared to dip a hand in the popcorn bucket.
I see this stuff all the time in oakland, L.A. and other ghettos. lol it's fucking scary when these types of people use the left turn lanes to go straight. XD
I think this scene shows the type of sick ,but complete freedom the Joker represents. Freedom from society, fear, responsibility, and of course the literal freedom from jail.
This scene had the most impact out of the whole movie. This scene is what gained my respect for the entire film. Damnit Mr. Ledger, you were such a damn good actor.
THANK YOU lol I loved this particular part thought it was amazing how the sounds just fade and the music provides the atmosphere for the scene and I couldn't find it on any other video lol.
I was sitting in the theater the first time i watched this, then this particulair scene came on........ WOW it made the fantastic movie i was watching 10x better
a screen shot that will be remembered in cinema history for years to come. words can't describe the emotions heath put into this character. truly remarkable.
As everyone has observed, he sticks his head out "like a dog chasing cars."
Here's another parallel though... notice how the colours of the cop car correspond to the colours of the Joker himself? He wears White makeup, Red Lipstick, has Black patches around his eyes and is wearing a Blue Shirt. The Police Cars also have these colours. The Joker is a perversion of a 'clown' whilst the GPD are (mostly) a perversion of an upstanding police force. In the end, they're both products of corruption.
@JokerDonny its not coincidence ... its art.. Movies do this a WHOLE lot.. ALL movies do this.. hidden blances and signs.. to make the thing look so natural.. you never nodice it.. the guy who pointed this out has potentual to make fantastic art.. Just a little something you should know. You learn something new every day
You can make any association you want. To take it further you can say that his makeup is the car colors. He himself is the vehicle in which corruption travels. Where it is a police officer or a citizen or the evil dark person you want him to be. Evil travels in many guises and after all, man is a corruptible being.

This scene reminds me of his quote about being "...a dog chasing cars." In this scene he's like one of those dogs that sticks its head out of a car window. Fantastic scene.
I believe this could of been the original way he escaped at the end of the movie from the cops but hey we'll never know unless Christopher Nolan tells us other wise
Watching this on the big screen, this short scene is the one that sticks in my mind above all others. I mentioned it to some of my friends afterwards, and they couldn't remember. I found this scene to be one of the most intimate scenes involving the joker. The silence was very powerful, especially considering what happened to the actor.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Its scenes like this in the Dark Knight that get me upset because they dont explain the situation. Like at the party scene, how did Joker escape from there if Batman was at the bottom already. I mean is he ganna take the elevator down and when he goes to the street hello batman is ganna be there already. Doesnt make sense.
yeah the whole idea with nolan films (see Following, Memento) is that several really smart ruthless characters are scheming against each other and you only get 2/3 of the picture. The rest is up to your imagination. Did X know Y at Z time? What resources did X have? This is left open, because it makes things more interesting. How the Joker accomplished what he did remains somewhat mysterious, though you can bet he exploited corruption.
That's, and I hate defending anything about Heath Ledger involving TDK because of obvious reasons, where the real magic of Joker in TDK shines I think. The idea is very well what is seen in the comics - the most authentic thing about Joker here is that Joker is a character that breaks the rules (not in the cinematic "anarchist" way, let's speak metaphorically and metaphysically). Joker always cheats death, and he...
always gets from A to B, where B ("Batman" lol) halts him from getting to C ("Chaos" if you must...ugh). Joker needs no explanation RIGHT after the bank robbery scene which is an example of how smart and coordinated he is despite his teeming spontaneity, Batman hasn't even figured him out until the end of the movie. Why don't we watch him escape this - because he's the JOKER.
Its the opposite of Batman, who can beat anyone or accomplish anything because he's the GADDAMN BATMAN, Joker can get out of ANYTHING.because he's THE GADDAMN JOKER. And that makes me love TDK and Joker, for that reference to the "Joker effect". Its one of Joker's best scenes from this point of view, its an alright way of showing him escaping from everything - sanity, cops, and even Batman.
Actually, probably helped by the Chechen's men. He was the only mobster that remotely had any respect for the Joker, while Maroni and Gambol just laughed at him.
maybe it wasn't Lau....maybe it was one of the joker's man driving...you know he had a lot of cops under his command(Ramirez and so on....)...or Lau was too afraid to be killed by the Joker if he disobeyed him....there are multiple explications
"You're being voted down because your comment was retarded. No Lau was his hostage because he rated them out. Why the hell would he be driving and not trying to escape? Dumbass."
LMAO. Uhh, maybe because he had a gun held to his head? LMAO. And who else could be the one driving? You could halfway guess the Chechen, or one of the mob bosses who had a reason to bring Lau into their custody, but there was no evidence that they were anywhere near the scene at the time.
everything about this scene was great, the car swerving, the eerie silence, jokers head out the window. this was one of the IMAX scenes in the movie and it looked incredible in IMAX.
yeah and right through the MIDDLE of a huge downtown too... society builds all this shit up over hundreds of years, the efforts of thousands and thousands of engineers, construction workers, scientists, even (I know) lawyers and politicians... and here he is laughing at all of it, and no one stops him... and no one can stop him either.
There's something about that darkness, that ruthless and complete disregard for authority and order through destructive eroticism that touches us all. It is the side within each of us longing for out acceptance and embrace. This brief scene just so happens to touch that darkness perfectly. And with acceptance comes true Healing.
i fail to see how someone who can touch darkness perfectly, the ruthless and complete disregard for authority and order through destructive eroticism that touches us all, who has a side that is longing for acceptance and embrace, an acceptance that comes with true healing... can be my worst nightmare. you have to be gay dude.
i think the reason why this short scene is so powerful is because of what it signifies. to me, the joker hanging out of the cop car symbolises rebellion against authority. and the car swerving left and right symbolises discord and chaos
Fantastic shot of Joker! Though it is very short, it is THE scene from the movie I remember the most:) The sound fades, he is hanging out the window, the dawn in the background, the different tones of blue and a menacingly sound is coming into the picture..great work:)
even if you were to go out and pretend to be the joker, people would just see you as a little kid dressing up as his favorite villian, who's messed up enough to kill people to fit the role.... and really, they'd be right.
People want to be like Tyler durden and the joker... well my whole life i devoted myself to keep away from it... hell u dont need to many things to be that way.
1. Born slightly unstable
2. Grow up in the worst manner.
3. Have that final moment in ur life where u snap and kill any1 you can.
tyler durden was the all the way cool... joker is the all the way insane... completely reversing the hardwired idea of society and turning it into chaos... it turns out that he really is insane anyways so good comparison
jst a thought......................ha ha hus driving? lol ha ha it weird at 1st i thought it was him den i looked ha ha it prob his henchmen ha ha lol i love the dark knightxxx
I wonder how many teens did that after seeing the movie and driving home with their friends? Also, it seemed in the trailer that he was sticking out of the window a bit further.
I get chills from watching this scene. That's how powerful it is. Nolan says more in this 10 second shot than other directors struggle to do in 2 hours.
When he's in the police car it's an iconic scene, literally showing us just how awesome a villain the Joker truly is because he looks a mix of totally crazy and super cool during that scene.
The Joker has killed the Chief of Police (before Gordon), Gotham's top judge, Rachel (Batman's girl), destroyed Harvey Dent, Gotham's white knight and got Lao back from inside a prison full of cops.
In the movie when you think about the end results, the Joker definitely gets the better of Batman.
I must agree....watching this scene unfold in IMAX the very first day the movie was released...I was like OMG! is this guy for real???That day was for surely the best day of 2008 for me!
Only the Joker can do anything and make it cool. But I have to admit I actually prefer it when he does it on the first theatrical trailer, it is more wild because he is pushing himself much further out the car making it look much crazier and more Jokerish. But this version is still an insanely cool scene.
Perfect music for a perfect scene! This is ART!

even if you were to go out and pretend to be the joker, people would just see you as a little kid dressing up as his favorite villian, who's messed up enough to kill people to fit the role.... and really, they'd be right.

People want to be like Tyler durden and the joker... well my whole life i devoted myself to keep away from it... hell u dont need to many things to be that way.
1. Born slightly unstable
2. Grow up in the worst manner.
3. Have that final moment in ur life where u snap and kill any1 you can.
Try not to be it.. thats hard.

Not sure about wanting to be the joker unless I was acting him, but Tyler Durden rocked.

tyler durden was the all the way cool... joker is the all the way insane... completely reversing the hardwired idea of society and turning it into chaos... it turns out that he really is insane anyways so good comparison

I loved this scene. Combined with the fact that the one chick got killed and Harvey got fried, it made that much more impact.

I wonder how many teens did that after seeing the movie and driving home with their friends? Also, it seemed in the trailer that he was sticking out of the window a bit further.

Absolutely brilliant.
I get chills from watching this scene. That's how powerful it is. Nolan says more in this 10 second shot than other directors struggle to do in 2 hours.

When he's in the police car it's an iconic scene, literally showing us just how awesome a villain the Joker truly is because he looks a mix of totally crazy and super cool during that scene.
The Joker has killed the Chief of Police (before Gordon), Gotham's top judge, Rachel (Batman's girl), destroyed Harvey Dent, Gotham's white knight and got Lao back from inside a prison full of cops.
In the movie when you think about the end results, the Joker definitely gets the better of Batman.

Only the Joker can do anything and make it cool. But I have to admit I actually prefer it when he does it on the first theatrical trailer, it is more wild because he is pushing himself much further out the car making it look much crazier and more Jokerish. But this version is still an insanely cool scene.
