I like the way Sam does business. If the client wants the deed done dirt cheap without disclosure of the risk, then they can go elsewhere. And he sure as hell doesn't want a poser in the foxhole with him!
So after watching this movie, not only do I still not know what is in that damn case, but I also still don't know what the color of the boathouse is at Hereford....
@scirocco09 maybe there is one, maybe there is none. doesn´t really matter.
the point is, DeNiro´s character just wanted to expose Bean´s character as a liar, i.e. that he´s not an SAS soldier & doesn´t know Hereford well.
btw DeNiro also mispronounces "Here-ford" as in 2 seperate words, the correct pronunciation is: "Herryford". this might either be non-intentional (as DeNiro´s character is American), or very well intentional, i.e. an additional "testing" of Bean´s character.
Damn this scene packs a lot of great stuff. 0:17 dialog - "what's in the case" ... "if it's going to be amateur night..." And her look at 0:50 is deadly... then the whole bit with Sean Bean ... kickass clip, thanks for uploading it!
Asking about the color of the boathouse near Stirling Lines, is like asking what is stored in the lifeguard towers posted at Coronado. (location where NAVPAC SEALS train)
@STATiSofVITALETHICS well i´m no soldier or agent but what Sam says in this scene totally makes sense: placing 2 shooters on opposite sites of a street who have to shoot at a target in-between them is a rather stupid plan: even if they hit the target, there´s always the risk of hitting each other, too.
@harpiyon Depends on the height of the shooters' positions but the point isn't the semantics, it's that he's sick of hearing from the poser in the group, needed to cut him loose before he got one of them killed. "So what *is* the color of the boat house?" ... "How the f do I know" LOL
@FormulaKimball i think it´s both, Spence´s cheeky behaviour & his obvious lack of experience. in fact, Sam did him a favour by separating him from the "heavy guys".
and concerning the boat house in Hereford: it´s possible that Sam does know its colour very well: maybe he got his military training there, but he just doesn´t want the others to know that.
at the end of the movie you know that he´s an active CIA agent. s.o. like that doesn´t usually tell others much about himself.
@harpiyon well said ... favor indeed :) His training speaks for itself yet he also misdirects so the others are never entirely sure about him. The bullet removal scene is another example - why would he do that to himself if he's an agent with resources... but his cover is more important.
@FormulaKimball good point. i think his mission & cover are so important that he can´t use the usual resources.
i think the entire mission was of the type: "try to get into that group, but once you´re in, you´re on your own".
i think he´s using one of his resources for getting information. but after that shootout, when the group is virtually destroyed and he & Vincent are being hunted by the IRA, the Russian mafia, the KGB & others, he is lucky to get help from one of Vincent´s resources.
@youngb1ood i don´t think Spence would´ve stayed for much longer. sooner or later, they would´ve found out that he´s a fraud. Sam did the right thing, he dismissed him at an early stage, and that was better for the entire team. you can´t use an amateur on a mission for professionals, he´ll be a risk to everyone, even to himself.
btw Sam looks tough here, but in fact he´s rather kind: if it was up to one of the others to dismiss Spence, they would´ve probably killed him.
@Zuel7272 it's pretty clear he was a fraud. probably just some small time criminal, maybe he had some minor military experience but doubtful. i've only met a few, but if you ever meet those SF type guys, they're very quiet and non-descript, and they don't have to tell you they were SF, you can pretty much sense they're dangerous
Indeed. SF guys have that look in their eyes...They can be some of the nicest guys ever but if you piss them off it's like there are stormclouds brewing in those eyes. It's funny though, Sean Bean has played an SF operator in "Bravo Two Zero", lol.
@PenTheMighty These people are not Sinn Féin, Sinn Féin are a legimate political party dedicated to non violent political objectives - don't forget that, cause we will not forget.
@DJSpinoza ...You are correct. I would say they are either Real IRA or Continuity IRA, both off-shoots of the Provisional IRA, but both dedicated to waging the war of independence for all of Ulster.
@DJSpinoza I think PenTheMighty was speaking about 'Special Forces' in either case Army Special Forces is a specific unit. Bravo Two Zero was about an SAS Operation in Iraq...SAS are not Army SF. Furthermore, 'Operator' is a specific moniker for a specific unit within Army SF...but I'm not harking on that specific too much as every Tom, Dick and Jerry can call themselves an 'Operator' now
I love how De Niro pronounces Hereford, "what colour is the boathouse at hear-ford?" It's a bit of a small place so I don't blame him, though it's actually pronouced Hair-ref-ord ( hɛrɪfərd). The guy at the end get's it right!
Jeez, Sean Bean looks like he has had his balls ripped off by the end of the scene. Emotionally this is exactly what has happened to him. Love the way he gets up at 1.10 and goes to the board, clears his throat. desparate to prove himself in front of everyone.
Great Action film from the 90's. Robert De Niro's character was smart and so quick-witted. Loved him very much. Jean Reno, Natascha McElhone and others did a great job too. Car chase scene was brilliant. Our modern Actions are horrible. Even B-grade films & Made-For-TV movies in the 90's were 100x better than modern so-called "Blockbusters" from Hollywood.
great scene! I cringe for poor old Sean Bean here. Not a very heroic role for him. Sits there listening to De Niro's hard bargaining and tries to get up and show his worth at the white board haha. Ouch!..ever had that feeling of being out of your depth?
Because, it shows the difference between a persone who always try to win his point in front of others for gain a certain self security, bad own confidence and some guys who are together to think about tomorrows projects. I mean those put their objectif first and their own person behind.
@ilovesexilovenaked That girl is irish. She might be with IRA. About that guy who get kicked. It's not because his plans. It's because his general attitude. He always try to prove something and try to reach some imaginary rang and shows his rules in that small group.
Like some military guys in the real world.
ABOUT IRA at the end of the movie the radios said IRA talk about peace and conflict resolutions.
Could it be that when De Niro says "hearford," it's a part of the bluff to upset Sean Bean's character. If Bean's character was actually ex-SAS, he would correct De Niro on the pronunciation, instead he stutters and back-pedals.
If you haven't seen the entire thing, I recommend it. There is a scene after this that leaves the impression of De Niro's bluff as not even knowing the color of the boathouse or if there even is one there.
@Bugatti4evr I doubt it. Sean Bean wasn't ex-SAS in this movie. You get many regular soldiers hinting or bragging they were ex-special forces, when they never were. As we've come to learn in the media/BBC News... REAL SAS soldiers, when a few have died over past few years on tough missions in Afghanistan/Iraq... even their parents have been shocked to learn their child was in the SAS. De Niro simply found him out as non-SAS and proved it.
@straydoggio This scene don't show if he's or not a SAS. It shows how a guy can get kickout from this kind of professionels groups when this same guy try to get over the group when he doesn't know his place and his own limit. You can see many time before some signs why he can't progress faster in this type of danger.
He wasn't SAS. That's the reason Deniro asked him what the color was of the boathouse at Hereford. Do you think a real SAS member would draw up such a shitty ambush? The Boathouse at Hereford is constructed from red brick with wood panelling and blue painted doors, by the way :).
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
.......WHAT!!! are u retarded or something? this scene was all deniro he put the mother fucker to shame if u havent noticed, and robert deniro is a great actor he deserves way more credit his first movie was in 1965, hes been acting in movies probably even when u were in fucking diapers man but the other sean bean he fucking sucks!
u know what fuck u! deniro was acting when u and i were in diapers so shut the fuck up!!! and hes not always the same, that sean bean guy is pretty fucking typical as well!
@metalmaniacmarkus i don´t think Sean Bean sucks. this scene works because ALL actors do a great job, even the ones who sit & watch. and Sean Bean plays very well, in fact it´s harder to play an insecure & weak character, than a tough guy who has total control over the situation from beginning to end.
theortically, Sean Bean could have played DeNiro´s part, and DeNiro could have played Bean´s part, and it still would have been a great scene.
don´t mx up the characters with the actors´ abilites
Having familiarity doesn't mean he will automatically use the local pronunciation. If you watch the movie at all, you would have noticed that he purposely emphasized his American (New York) accent; most likely to contrast it against the French, British, Irish, German and Russian ways of speaking English.
Just because you know plenty of Americans in UK who can say it the british way, doesn't mean all Americans say it that way. Are you gonna say that De Niro is not American? IF all Americans say hehreford, then where did he get here-ford from? Did he just invent his own language and accent?
De Niro is simply asking a question; a quiz. He wasn't pretending to be British.
Americans at work, and this is in the UK? Meaning they live and work in the UK and familiar with UK ways?
I rest my case.
Again, if De Niro is wrong, where the hell did he pick that pronunciation? Are you suggesting he doesn't speak English? Or maybe you're trying to say that he invented that pronunciation just for the movie?
Hereford is where the SAS (the unit Bean claimed to be formerly with) trains. He asked him because he'd figured out he wasn't actually a former SAS guy, and wanted to put him off balance to prove it to everyone else.
ZerkBisquet, Sean Bean's character claimed his regiment was part of the Special Air Service-- that's the SAS. Hereford is where the SAS are from (like the CIA is from Langley), so any real SAS operator would know the answer to the boathouse question. DeNiro's character smelled an imposter, so he bluffed about the boathouse to catch him out. And it worked.
oh yeah i knew about that bit, it was just the cofee cup bit i didnt understand....maybe it had something to do with the other guys reflexes when he catched it earlier....
No he knocked over the cup of hot coffee, which spilled down his leg and caught him totally by surprise as he was ready to fight, fully expecting de Niro to make the first move.
At that, de Niro got him and took his gun. Hence the coffee being an ambush.
It's unfortunate that in American features Sean Bean is relegated to playing flawed supporting characters. His "Sharp's" series is fantastic due to his phenominal ability at hero-play.
I'm talking about how in his American film work Sean Bean gets cast as either a villan (Patriot Games, Goldeneye, Ronin, The Hitcher) or a damaged good guy (Lord of the Rings), but in the U.K. where his career began, the character he's most associated with is the heroic leader Sharpe.
He was a free agent. After all he chose to have a master than beign a warrier without master. In real life most of those ronins left from cold war, were involved in drug trafficing and other illegal activities to get a personal benefit..
Ronin refers to the original Ronin who were leaderless samurai. They were the original mercenaries, they traveled japan protecting villages and feudal properties from bandits on a contract basis.
It's a place in Britain where the SAS (special forces) train, i think. The guy in the movie claimed he was part of them, but he lied :D. That''s how most liars get caught, they talk too much...
pisses me off though. sean bean as the useless sas wannebe! should of kept his character as a genuine hard ass. should of made the fat getaway driver the scapegoat
If a Samurai becomes a Ronin he does not necessarily become a bandit or something like that...from 1868 on seppuku was forbidden..so many samurai couldn't follow their Daimyo into death...i believe most of the ronin kept their ideals and followed the path of a swordsman...
Watch this scene carefully, the coffee flipping over is unnatural. If you look closely, the coffee cup is put on a "spring" device that can be triggered by a stage hand off camera. When Sean Bean backs into the cart or table he never hits the coffee cup and the cup does a full flip over.
Deniro was such a great actor once.Now he is in some of the most shit movies ive ever seen.Meet the parents what a load of rubbish and now he is in a movie called stardust.I can only imagine what crap that is.
De Niro has a life outside of acting. I heard that he has some classy business center / hotel / restorant type of project that he was making. After some of his great movies he cared more about money and stoped being picky. Al Pacino also messed up by acting in that Jenifer Lopez movie Geely... I dont know what the hell was that... After all, those stupid movies wont change the fact that they are 2 best of all times...
Lol .. Great scene! That's how old Saddam got wounded and a couple of his guys killed when they tried to ambush General Kassam. Two groups of shooters on the opposite side of the street? Bad, bad idea! Unless they are on the high ground, as already mentioned, which is what happened to my unit once in Iraq.
@toptenmaterial lord of war was a god awful completely innaccurate, total bs movie and nicolas cage is a terrible actor. if you knew anything about the subject matter of the movie, you would agree with me, but because people are ignorant of the reality of the global arms trade and how it relates to international organized crime, corruption in government, terrorism etc. they enjoyed that total piece of shit misinforming movie. you are right, it is a comedy because the movie is a joke.
@XIPM3 Ever heard of a thing called 'escapism'? It's not the task of a movie to tell the complete, accurate history of the subject it tells of. Lethal Weapon, Indiana Jones, Independence Day; movies are larger-than-life stories that are NOT obligated to be historically accurate. Ever heard of satire? Maybe you have a thing against Lord of War, maybe you decided to hate it because it doesn't tell the complete truth.
But then again...did it promise it would? Escapism. Fiction! And that's okay!

@metalmaniacmarkus i don´t think Sean Bean sucks. this scene works because ALL actors do a great job, even the ones who sit & watch. and Sean Bean plays very well, in fact it´s harder to play an insecure & weak character, than a tough guy who has total control over the situation from beginning to end.
theortically, Sean Bean could have played DeNiro´s part, and DeNiro could have played Bean´s part, and it still would have been a great scene.
don´t mx up the characters with the actors´ abilites

NicksOnUtube, he's playing as an American, a former CIA. Is it any wonder he pronounced it the American rather than British way?

Oh so your way of speaking English is the only correct way, along with words like "colour" and "centre". Whatever.
If the average American who has never heard a Brit said Hereford says it as Here-ford, then De Niro is playing true to character as an American.
I suppose Americans are supposed to pronounce Los Angeles the Spanish way too since they're Spanish words?
Get off your high horse.

Ok, let me start again.
1. De Niro is an American
2. He's playing the role of an American
3. He pronounces "Hereford" as an American would
Having familiarity doesn't mean he will automatically use the local pronunciation. If you watch the movie at all, you would have noticed that he purposely emphasized his American (New York) accent; most likely to contrast it against the French, British, Irish, German and Russian ways of speaking English.

Just because you know plenty of Americans in UK who can say it the british way, doesn't mean all Americans say it that way. Are you gonna say that De Niro is not American? IF all Americans say hehreford, then where did he get here-ford from? Did he just invent his own language and accent?
De Niro is simply asking a question; a quiz. He wasn't pretending to be British.

Americans at work, and this is in the UK? Meaning they live and work in the UK and familiar with UK ways?
I rest my case.
Again, if De Niro is wrong, where the hell did he pick that pronunciation? Are you suggesting he doesn't speak English? Or maybe you're trying to say that he invented that pronunciation just for the movie?

I think he was testing the guy earlier to see how good he was when he knocked the cup off.
The "SAS guy" in this clip wasn't even a decent liar. He didn't know it, but he could have said any color.
de Niro flushed out an imposter, and got a little "in" with the others by getting them more money.

Hereford is where the SAS (the unit Bean claimed to be formerly with) trains. He asked him because he'd figured out he wasn't actually a former SAS guy, and wanted to put him off balance to prove it to everyone else.
ViperX83 2 years ago
ZerkBisquet, Sean Bean's character claimed his regiment was part of the Special Air Service-- that's the SAS. Hereford is where the SAS are from (like the CIA is from Langley), so any real SAS operator would know the answer to the boathouse question. DeNiro's character smelled an imposter, so he bluffed about the boathouse to catch him out. And it worked.

oh yeah i knew about that bit, it was just the cofee cup bit i didnt understand....maybe it had something to do with the other guys reflexes when he catched it earlier....

No he knocked over the cup of hot coffee, which spilled down his leg and caught him totally by surprise as he was ready to fight, fully expecting de Niro to make the first move.
At that, de Niro got him and took his gun. Hence the coffee being an ambush.

It's unfortunate that in American features Sean Bean is relegated to playing flawed supporting characters. His "Sharp's" series is fantastic due to his phenominal ability at hero-play.

I'm talking about how in his American film work Sean Bean gets cast as either a villan (Patriot Games, Goldeneye, Ronin, The Hitcher) or a damaged good guy (Lord of the Rings), but in the U.K. where his career began, the character he's most associated with is the heroic leader Sharpe.

He was a free agent. After all he chose to have a master than beign a warrier without master. In real life most of those ronins left from cold war, were involved in drug trafficing and other illegal activities to get a personal benefit..

Ronin refers to the original Ronin who were leaderless samurai. They were the original mercenaries, they traveled japan protecting villages and feudal properties from bandits on a contract basis.

If a Samurai becomes a Ronin he does not necessarily become a bandit or something like that...from 1868 on seppuku was forbidden..so many samurai couldn't follow their Daimyo into death...i believe most of the ronin kept their ideals and followed the path of a swordsman...

Watch this scene carefully, the coffee flipping over is unnatural. If you look closely, the coffee cup is put on a "spring" device that can be triggered by a stage hand off camera. When Sean Bean backs into the cart or table he never hits the coffee cup and the cup does a full flip over.

De Niro has a life outside of acting. I heard that he has some classy business center / hotel / restorant type of project that he was making. After some of his great movies he cared more about money and stoped being picky. Al Pacino also messed up by acting in that Jenifer Lopez movie Geely... I dont know what the hell was that... After all, those stupid movies wont change the fact that they are 2 best of all times...

@toptenmaterial lord of war was a god awful completely innaccurate, total bs movie and nicolas cage is a terrible actor. if you knew anything about the subject matter of the movie, you would agree with me, but because people are ignorant of the reality of the global arms trade and how it relates to international organized crime, corruption in government, terrorism etc. they enjoyed that total piece of shit misinforming movie. you are right, it is a comedy because the movie is a joke.
XIPM3 1 year ago
@XIPM3 Ever heard of a thing called 'escapism'? It's not the task of a movie to tell the complete, accurate history of the subject it tells of. Lethal Weapon, Indiana Jones, Independence Day; movies are larger-than-life stories that are NOT obligated to be historically accurate. Ever heard of satire? Maybe you have a thing against Lord of War, maybe you decided to hate it because it doesn't tell the complete truth.
But then again...did it promise it would? Escapism. Fiction! And that's okay!
