Rich Man Poor Man Tom Vs Falconetti

[ormindoify]

William Smith in my opinion is a great actor but little explored in film, as he deserved. Opposite Yull Brinn, Rod Taylor and others, always as a villain, he did very well. The paper is assigned to him which were very weak, yet he showed greatness and enriched them with his performance. The cinema of the '70s nostalgia leaves with the existence of "Hercules"

[lutheringram]

thanks for bringing back childhoodmemories .- i shit my pants when falconetti showed up! :)

[ormindoify]

William smith na minha opiniao é um grande ator mas pouco explorado pelo cinema, como ele merecia. Contracenou com Yull Brinner, Rod Taylor e outros, sempre como vilão, que ele fazia muito bem. Os papeis que lhe designaram é que foram muito fracos, mesmo assim ele demonstrava grandeza e enriquecia-os com sua performance. O cinema da decada de 70 deixa saudades com a existencia deste " Hercules"

[plymouthgtx1973]

William Smith was the premier bad guy in the 60's, 70's, and 80's. He was always stalking and menacing the heroes - Eastwood, Nolte, Garner, Busey, etc. One of my favorite actors too.

[TheClam88]

@plymouthgtx1973 I met him 10 yrs ago--the nicest, most gracious person you'd ever meet. in real life Smith was a Korean war hero, worked for the CIA and taught Russian language at UCLA. Among the other things he told me was that James Garner was the nicest actor he ever worked with.

[lakesidepark2112]

According to the IMDb, the Tom Jordache character may have been written into the second part of the series. They should have included an "alternate" ending for season one on the DVD releases.

[filtact]

agree that in rel life will smith would kick Nolte's ass, but in "reel" life Tom was a trained boxer, which means no matter how big and tough Falconetti was he stood little chance.. A decent boxer like Tom would have carved him to pieces with some space. That said the fight scene was emotionally satisfying but poorly staged and edited. Also a bit unrelistic in that Tom would never, ever turn his back on a guy like that...and he did it twice!

[MisterBorg9]

Dude--register the program if you're going to post it on U-tube, dammit.

[Loverboy19691]

I can remember this show in the 1970's in the U.K. It started on wednesday 14th july 1976, but i cant remember if it was on EVERY wednesday, or every other night!, the scene i remember is the last episode when tom dies on the boat, can anyone out there tell me when that particuler episode was aired as if it was weekly i make it out to be wednesday 25th of august, but i'm so not sure!!,..thank you!

[theironclads]

Man,William Smith could tug Superman's cape,& Superman would not dare question Big Bill.

[colderbeer]

Fag bashing done quite well....

[hardcorehouse]

Once again an entirely implausible fight in which Nolte (like all of Smith's movie opponents) with no muscle or intensity beats Smith LOL in real life whips the ass of all movie icons especially Stallone and the unconvincing fight scenes Stallone did.

[openedup09]

I`m surprised that there wasn`t more downloads on this mini-series on youtube.It was such a great piece of work.I would like to see more different parts of this.

[FTWEVERYONE]

NO @WASZMA Nolte lost the Fight because if,not there wouldn't be a TV Show,it would have stopped right there,what does "Upper Arm Strength" have to do with it?

[FTWEVERYONE]

@FTWEVERYONE Yes

[kleinkoerkampben]

i tought his name was falconspagetti?

[sonnyandbilly]

Whipped his Gay-faggot-rappist ass! I saw this when I was a kid. You see how gay tv was back in the 70s.

[tonyrocco55]

I was a Senior in High School when "Rich Man, Poor Man" was first televised and saw every episode. Finally it's been officially released on dvd (September (2010)) and also contains "Book 2", which was originally televised a year after the original. I haven't seen it since, but I will now!!

[plsniper]

Man, the last time I saw this, I was a kid back in Poland around 1979!! I can't believe this is on youtube! Awesome!!

[gouvyrock]

i watch this when i was a kid !!! great memories!!!!

[BlueXX33]

I loved this series so much :D

[chriskehoe007]

this was one of my favorite tv mini series of the 70,s nick nolte was excellent and FALCONETTI WAS A GREAT VILLIAN

[speakwhnspkn2]

@chriskehoe007 a great fag also obviously.

[Joez86]

Thanks for posting ... They don't make shows like this anymore.

[tygersofpantang]

Absolutely loved this show. Dont know how many times ive watched various scenes particularly this one,brilliant. William Smith was superb as the bad guy, totally concincing and quite menacing. High point in my view of Nick Nolte s career. Loved his character. So many subtle things when you watch the show over again. Theres a moment where Clothilde asks him to spare a rabbits life, and he does. Later he does the same for Falconetti , and ultimately pays the price. Superb.

[TheDayfornight]

everyone has to deal witha falconetti i know i have

[vargyna]

@TheDayfornight Hopefully not a gay one.

That is just adding insult to injury.

[TheDayfornight]

@TheDayfornight  im really glad tom kicks falconettis arse

[OHRaceFan]

What a great TV miniseries! I wish that I could see it again. William Smith is one of the all-time great TV villains.

[sirpico123]

will was too good in this role, as it probably hurt his career

[shitonMOHAMMAD]

@sirpico123

no he actually made a lot of movies afterwards, including one with Clint Eastwood

[BufordStone]

I remember reading an article in a bodybuilding magazine about Smith and it mentioned the amount of weight he was able to reverse curl. I can't remember the exact amount, but I remember it was freakish.

[the430movie]

A great era of tv mini series

[joe80dman]

Falconett's mug would have looked like strawberry jam instead of just a patch over one eye. It was good to see Tom pound him into mush. Everyone hated Falconetti, which also indicates the incredible acting talent of Wm. Smith.

[ted850760]

the reason you still hate Falconetti ts because William Smith was such a good actor...he sold you on the evil of the character he created..harder to fe the villian than the hero

[valarmanwe]

@ted850760 I remember WS being interviewed on one of our English Chat Shows about 25 years or so ago. And he said that he couldn`t walk down Main Street America without having bottles thrown at him, because of what he did to Tom Jordashe.

[theironclads]

Has there ever been anybody on screen that is as intimidating as Big Bill Smith? Nope.

[sandinyourshoes]

No, @theironclads, not on TV. I have never found a better actor to play such an evil villain at least on the "small screen." Rich Man, Poor Man reached its peak when Falconetti showed up. The whole story builds up to his appearance with a tremendous intensity.

[ellache]

LOL I always thought his name was Falcon Eddie!!!

[denpunk666mitsos]

Falconetti was an arsehole.

[mbolkvadze]

I LOVE THIS BOOK , and can you tell me where I can see this movie?

[elizajohn5]

this wasnt a movie. it was a tv series.

[yallop9]

I've always thought that De Niro based his interpretation of Max Cady in Cape Fear on Falconetti

[joe80dman]

@yallop9: DeNiro's was a remake of the original made in '53. The original Cape Fear featured Robert Mitchum, and Gregory Peck.

[helltopay1]

@yallop9 Hello mate,just found your post.Thats it!!!! .Kept thinking de niro reminded me of someone in cape fear ,allways on the tip of my tongue ,drove me mad for a long time.Here he is.!!!!!!!

[bonnyandclyde10]

william smith beat arnie arm wrestling on the set of conan the barbarian ! the story goes that arnie didnt like it so gave him a small part as conans dad instead of a much bigger part...dont think arnie knew that smith had been a world champ arm wrestler

[Sagittariustoo]

In real life, William Smith could have kicked Nick Nolte's ass !

[louthebody]

Yes. When ever I'm going to fight or work on a cargo ship, I always wear dress shoes. Might as well get my ass kicked in style. LOL!

[bootsiebanty]

Yeah, but remember the setting was the 1960s, maybe even the '50s I don't remember. Guys working on tubs like that would be wearing old dress shoes like that; probably all they had.

[rachel7036]

my mom loved this back in 1976..I was too young to watch it..thanks for posting.

[UnseenCaller]

I always thought Nolte would've been a little more believable without the girly arms. He had the tough guy face, but the arms didn't measure up too well.

[pennridgeboy]

Man, arm size don't mean shit when your face is being rearranged by fast hands with large knuckles. Hand speed and barbaric attitude will nuetralize big arms every time. Seen it many times.

[gingertitssavage]

You are a fucking retard. You are in no way tough so shut your face arse and cunt.

[pennridgeboy]

Never said I was tough "gingertitssavage". Just been around the real world, not TV or the movies. The sound of a hard right or left impacting a cheek or jaw is disturbing if you've never heard it before. Saw a little guy in the UK drop a large blok with a clean headbutt just above the eyebrows.

I'll say it again, it ain't about arm size.

[hardcorehouse]

@pennridgeboy Arm size and overall power means a hell of a lot when everything else is about equal. Smith boxed as an amateur, would never have lost this or other fights in truth. Nor would he have appeared slow, the thing was he was the heavy and had to lose in the scripts. ;-))

[Waszma]

@pennridgeboy Absolutely right...matter of fact, large upper arms are probably more of a drawback than a plus. A street fighter has very slim chances against a top 10 light heavy....whick I think Tommy was.

[bonnyandclyde10]

type in on you tube an episode from kung fu series called ..the chalice.. william smith is brill as psycho luther staggers

[fifthof]

i cant believe after all this time that i still really hate that fucker.the character obviously!

[orangeness1]

What are the best scenes of William Smith in any movies.

This guy is too REAL to be acting.

[helltopay1]

As a teenager ,i couldnt believe his triceps

[andyunderground]

I remember that William Smith who played Falconeti had some serious problems with stalkers and treats .

Because some people cant tell the differences between acting and the real person.

Sade !

[ronwelker8]

william smith's rugged square jaw and ultra masculine good looks finally lend themselves to the ultra violent bad guy character here -- with his chiselled physique and height, (6' 2"?)he is one incredibly believeable fighter .

[bambarn5678]

YT;The asphalt jungle tv seris open 1961.

See "Bill Smith" in this early TV show.

[bambarn5678]

Saw this LANDMARK MS when it came out,what memories,thank god for VCR'S and my GREAT collection,to keep ME going,I have RMPM from a cheesy re-run

I taped.

[bambarn5678]

William Smith for MY money goes down as a mans..mans ..man,a recipient of the Purple Heart in korea,a college graduate and speaker of several languages,a GREAT actor,a nice man,and THE.....Scariest Actor EVER..on the screen,or even walking down the street.

Jack Palance,Lee Marvin and a few more here and there fill those shoes nicely,and of course LEO GORDON who also was a very good screen writer a great actor and a BAD ASS! WS IS the best!

[maxieP]

I didn't remember the Brother getting rapped by Falconetti. I guess as a kid watching it back then, I just thought he got beat up. Damn.

[UnseenCaller]

Yeah, has to be the first time in history a black man being raped by a white man. Leave it to tinsel town.

[irvinemuscles]

William Smith got fu#ked up bad. I would of like to have seen William Smith vs that bald boxer in Hard Times, Rober tessier. That would of been a helluva brawl.

[ghosty426]

Thank you for posting. Rich Man Poor Man Book 1  was on TV this time of year back in 1976. Wish I could watch it again and meet up with my girl.

[DanielTheWalrus]

You want it, you got it!

[sierria64]

i loved this miniu seris as a kid - i watched every night

[jsbach15]

Wish I could watch this whole mini-series again. Sure would be wonderful if someone would upload to youtube.

[bonnyandclyde10]

you can purchase book 1 and book 2 from amazon

[bajen3]

Ccool. Remeber this like it was yesterday :-)

[bigbluedinosaur]

Great mini series. Falconetti was such as scummy sleezy and menacing villian. I remember as a kid being scared of him and glad that Tom beat his ass.

[bonnyandclyde10]

if you look on my vids there's some new clips from richman poorman

[avi40m]

the best t.v mini series ever made !

nick nolte at his best performance.

all time classic .

[fjbutch]

I remember reading the reviews back then that William Smith played such a convincing part that people in the street would ring the police if they saw him ...

[hughesy62]

was there ever a book 3?

[SomebodysMe124]

I wish they would re-release book 1 and 2 again. The t.v. series is amazing but the books don't match up exactly, but then again when do they ever.

[firstbasedawg]

Classic TV moment! I was a senior in high school at the time and remember everybody watched it.

[ddenuci]

Hadn't seen this since it first aired. Great scene. William Smith was also great in an episode of Kung Fu around the same timeframe. Ah, the good old days of TV.

[Kudorama]

This brings a smile to my face and a few tears to my eyes, classic TV. What do they give us now, reality shows and air headed debutantes spewing non sensical garbage. A crying shame.

[terrafirma91]

How right you are! And they expect us to watch their trash TV? I don't think so...!

[jackolannerhead]

i thought he was falcon eddie

[sirpico123]

so did i, thought he was american indian

[bonnyandclyde10]

amazon is selling richman poorman book 1 for £20 and book 2 for £18

[alibaba1341]

who cares

[bambarn5678]

Whoever Posted this,where the hell is MORE Falconetti and/or RMPM..let's go man post it..Please!

[bonnyandclyde10]

william smith was awesome in an episode of kung fu with david carradine..the episode is called THE CHALLICE and he is a bullying cavary officer named luther staggers...love to see a clip on youtube but nothing on here

[pklmlynn]

William Smith as Falconetti was a badass.Noltes character as a streetfighting boxing was realistic.Smith in real life could be a well known scary thing just by his presence thats what made this a solid small part of a great mini-series.

[bambarn5678]

Herbert jefferson JR(Roy Dwyer)was very muscular,more so than NOLTE,I would think he could have put up a Fight,even with Falconetti.

[hardcorehouse]

Funny though, the guys in movies who have beaten Smith when in reality it makes no sense. Smith's screen fight with Rod Taylor was another classic, as well as with Eastwood.

[bambarn5678]

Agreed,Notice how the producers had WS wear a long sleeve shirt during his on-camera scense with Nick Nolte? Smith had BULGING Muscles,next to Noltes NOTHIG Physique.

[hardcorehouse]

William Smith was the MAN. Never a more imposing screen presence.

[wwhb2005]

Bodanki; do you know how to get the book II of this miniserie in order to download ? I have the book I.

Thanks in advance,

wwhb2005.

[42old]

I seem to remember a longer scene when it was originally aired in the late 70's when Tom really loses his temper after being stabbed in the leg by Falconetti. I think they cut that. They also cut when Tom gives Rudy a brand new yellow pull-over at the airport when he picks Tom up when arriving to go get his son. Syndication always cuts the wrong things.

[Waszma]

Nothing on TV has ever come close to this series. Nolte was amazing in playing maybe the greatest character ever. William Smith was absolutely perfect as Falconetti too. I remember waiting for the episode where Tom and Falconetti were gonna get it on, and the time couldn't go fast enough for me. "Are you startin to get the picture." I love that friggin line. Some people forget, the first scrap Tom gets in at the theater is with Dick Butkus. Nolte's done a lot of good stuff, but this is his best.

[monsta64]

Hey Waszma!

Right on, mant! I couldn't get enough of this series when it originally aired. Falconetti makes Darth Vader seem like a marshmallow!

I love every bit of RMPM! Just wish they'd do an official Book 1 and Book 2 release!

My fave line is from Tom as well when he's on the ladder: "Alright, you want it you got it!" All of his fights were great from Butkus to sending his Father threw the pastry display case to kickin the crap out of George Maharis' Joey Quayles in Vegas. That 1 was intense!

[Waszma]

What's up monsta? Yeah man, Tom Jordache was the best. I haven't seen this series in over 30 years man. Remember when Tom 1st gets ready to board the ship and Falconetti is beatin the crap outta some dude? My favorite line maybe in movie history is, "are you startin to get the picture?" That warning is so beautiful, says so much in so few words. And nothing better than to see predator become prey. And yeah..."The Danville Dancer" got a nice ass kickin too, lol! See ya man.

[monsta64]

Waszma, ya have to find this. I've got Book One on VHS. I bought a multi-region DVD player so I can hunt via ebay for Book Two which came out on DVD but from the UK. I would say that after 30 years you owe it to yourself to get it.

So many great lines like Edward Asner at the beginning on V-E night singing the German National Anthem at full throttle while baking in the basement & saying to his wife: "It's not everyday that the Wehrmacht has its nose rubbed in it". Take care bro!

[bdramliyska]

Hi, all. I've just read the book, and I'm so impressed. But I have a problem. I can't find the serial itself anywhere. Is there any possibility to tell me where can I download it?

Thanks

[Bodanki]

Although never explicitely stated in the series itself, in the novel Falconetti does rape Roy, and I think it is rather implied from Falconetti's behaviour in the show.

And yes Dawgbawls, the scenes where Wesley gets his butt kicked by Falc are on the RMPM2 DVD

[Bodanki]

Just got to add, that I think the fact that this series was made in the 70's may have had something to do with the rape being implied rather than explicitely stated or even shown, if RMPM would have been made today (by someone like HBO) then I think it would have made it more clear through showing you or through dialogue that he was raped.

[arther1045]

Roy had it coming. Look at the way he was dressed. You know he wanted it.

[alargedog]

best part of it

[pismava]

put the dam movie on tv

[dawgbawls]

got rmpm 1 and 2 on video when aired on daytime tv some years ago, now i want the dvd box set .... there were some cuts in the series i hope the cuts are not in the dvd,s where falconetti kicks wesleys butt on the outskirts of lv

[joliroi]

toute mon enfance !

[swansafc1912]

This was a first class mini - series it was shown in 1976 in West Wales during the summer

heat wave i was 16 just left school (May) it

was a powerful story Falconetti was mean guy

the one scene i can never forget is when

Falconetti sent a guy over to talk to Tom and

the guy pulled a knife on Tom and as Tom sank

down to the floor he looked up to see Falconetti looking down on him with that

look he always give it was so sad and stomach churning for Tom had once shown mercy

to him thanks.

[charliemctruth]

In the book, after Tom shows Falconetti "What its all about" he calls him a fat slob every time he sees him. Falconetti throws himself overboard in shame. Still.. a great mini-series!

Thanks for posting this clip.

5 stars

[Bodanki]

I think he was wearing his Letterman jacket during the theatre fight wasnt he?

You are right about the Quayles fight tho, shall have to recheck my DVD's when I get em back. All my friends have taken turns borrowing em! :)

[sandinyourshoes]

I never knew that. The studio people really got carried away.

To change the story so much made no sense to me. I can see why Nolte lost interest.

[Bodanki]

curbull is right, when William Smith was due to come back, he told the props woman that the eye patch should be on the left as thats the eye that was damaged, but the props woman got a copy of the script and the script said it was his right eye that was damaged (the shot with Falc on the stretcher was flipped, as they do sometimes)

[al193]

nope, it is on the left side

[takomaguy]

I can only count 1 movie in which William Smith does not play a psycho scumbag. In real life though, he's got a couple of degrees and speaks fluent Russian.

[Grossdeutschland]

nick nolte is not drunk on this footage

[dudedog9]

gddgxddfdf

[Reg197844]

Wow this brings back memories. I remember watching the entire mini-series as a kid. Nick Nolte was the man; he kicked everybody's ass. The one scene I loved was when he kicked the snot of the middleweight champ in his hotel room. Then he had to go on the lamb from the mob. They don't make TV like this anymore.

[SirMark70]

Great to finally see a scene from one of the greatest TV mini-series's of all time. I remember being so impressed with the acting of Peter Strauss and have always wondered why he has never become a more prominent actor, in terms of having a thriving theatre-movie career; as far as I know, he has been strictly a TV actor. Also, I have read the book, and this is one case where the movie improved upon the book.

[sjplwc]

Indeed, Peter Strauss made some excellent stuff in the 70's and 80's. All made for TV films, IIRC. Was in an oustanding TV film in the 70's called The Jericho Mile -- prison flick; really memorable, inspiring. If you like Strauss, check it out. Also, I think, starred in the mid 80's mini-series Massada; played an Israeli guerrilla fighting the Romans. Superior stuff. I have also often wondered why he never could make the crossover to the big screen. Certainly had the acting chops for it.

[stlramsfan21]

I met William Smith in NJ at convention two years ago- very, very gracious and easy to talk two- insisted on taking TWO pictures with me "in case the 1st one didn't come out". The most outstanding "bad guy" in TV history!!

[gregmpalumbo]

good triumphs over evil once more !!!!!!!

[gentjack02]

This scene from far & away the best mini-series ever

made. Great writing,character development, casting, acting, you name it. It is a crime that this is not available nor ever shown in the USA.

Thank you so much for posting---and remembering!

[greenorbfree]

William is by far the most menacing bad guy/bully character actors in movie history.

I have read that he is actually a nice guy and dosent put on an "act".

He also has quite a history outside acting.

[Philbisregin]

Heh...for some reason I thought his name was "Falcon Eddy" when I first saw this on tv!

[whytemartin]

God this brings back some really fantastic momories. I was only 6 when was on Irish tv and i absolutely hated Falconetti. I also saw the second series, i think in 1978. Nothing like this on tv now. Only silly kiddy series like friends etc. Same with music. Can we ever get a little serious again and have real adult music and grown up series's like this. Leave Friends, Westlife and Boyzone for the 10 yr. olds. Thanks for posting this. Would love to have a copy of your cd.

[juanan784]

hombre rico hombre pobre es una exelente serie de tv. la vi comlpleta la primera temporada aunque era niño no me la perdia para nada,Todavia recuerdo el ultimo capitulo de la primera parte,donde Falconetti manda a matar a Tom fue una escena dramatica que pone fin a la vida principal del personaje,que eligio y vivio su vida intensamente fuera de su familia.UNA SERIE EXELENTE

[Roystar95]

Remember during my childhood in South Africa William Smith coming to my hometown for an appearance! I was there, and remember people being scared. Falconetti personified the Devil himself, that's how realistic and believable RMPM was! I remember hating him for killing Tom Jordache!

[Roystar95]

My favorite mini series of all time! Nick Nolte one of my favorite actors of all time! Saw this for the first time in South Africa in the 70s. It was a huge, very huge success there!

[sandinyourshoes]

The first and best mini-series ever made. I don't believe there will ever be a better one. Not ever!

Smith was perfect as the evil Falconetti. The TV show did change Shaw's novel in many ways. In the book, Falconetti kills himself after Tom beats the hell out of him over and over. In the end it is a guy named Danovic who plots Tom's murder. ABC simply combined Falconetti and Danovic, making the storyline more dramatic.

Why is this not officially on DVD? We all would love to have it.

[emank1965]

The series is on DVD! I have it. You are right William Smith was perfect person to play the role of Falconetti, it's a shame they killed him in Book II but not before he killed Tom's older brother Rudy, Book II was not as great a Book I.

[sandinyourshoes]

It is? It must be expensive!

I always thought the "Book I" and "Book II" concept was strange. Irwin Shaw NEVER wrote any "Book I" or "Book II." His sequel to "Rich Man, Poor Man" was "Beggarman, Theif," a story that was simply nothing like "Book II." Hollywood writers simply created their own sequel. Nevertheless, the two TV presentations were exciting to watch!

[emank1965]

I got mine off of EBay(of course) Book I I enjoyed much better than Book II, I wish they would have played Rudy against Falconetti a little more before climaxing in the final episode with both of them dying.

[sandinyourshoes]

It seems that the first "Rich Man, Poor Man" is simply untouchable. Everyone loves it more than the second one. RMPM II is still fun to watch. The pace is just slower.

Senator Rudy Jordache and Falconetti played a cat and mouse game that lasted a long time.

[godadameve]

I, however, did not discover this terrific series until February 1978 when it aired in Chicago at 3:30pm...there was snow on the ground and it was bitter cold...They were horrible times, the 'good ol days (early seventies?) were gone...

[godadameve]

bodanki: EXCELLENT! Although, yeah, the words in the middle of the screen do detract from it. Please post the next to last episode where Falconetti hires some goons to kill Tom. My brother was a fanatic about this series when it originally aired way back in 1976.

[emank1965]

I will see if I can put the whole series on youtube, I have the DVDs from WWII all the way to Tom's death!

[jimr068]

Also there was a series out round about the same time called Stud Lonigan. It was based in the early 20's / 30's. It was great

[monsta64]

DUDE! You are the ONLY person that's mentioned Studs Lonigan! I loved that series about an Irish Catholic family in the 20's/30's!

Harry Hamlin played Studs, his father was played by Charles Durning. One of the plot lines was Studs's obsession with a girl from his past that he could never have 4 some reason & the other being his younger brother falling in love and wanting to marry a Jewish girl. I'd love for that 2 come out on DVD like Rich Man Poor Man!

[jimr068]

Hi there.

Thanks for your comment.  I have seen this on E-Bay dont know if it's for real.

[bpostman58]

hey again!...i just posted a new clip from an "uncut" version of "darker than amber"....smith beats up a guy who won't give him info....check it out!...brian....

[integral]

Thanks for posting. Shouldn't be too tough to find free software for editing so you don't have to live with that annoying logo.

[greyherbert]

I loved this series, Nick Nolte and Peter Straus, Brilliant!!!

[Bodanki]

I have the whole of both seasons on DVD and I will post some more clips as soon as I can find some decent video editing software that I dont have to pay for and wont leave crappy banners in the middle of my videos will post more soon

[bpostman58]

hi,again...feel free to post the second fight between tom and falconetti at the end of the series where he kidnaps rudie's wife...i'm sure people would love to see that...!....best,brian...

[auburn1159]

The scene that made Nick Nolte a household name and secured his future handsomely. There was one other fight scene - I believe in the 1st episode when a young Tom Jordache and his buddy are being youthful punks and are challenged in a movie theater by a serviceman - which is the 1st indication that we find that Tom Jordache has inate fighting skills.

jsc

[reinaldorivasnielsen]

gracias por recordarnos a esta gran serie , es mi serie favorita saludos desde chile, oalá que alguien quiera intercambiar informaciòn respecto de esta serie conmigo

[bpostman58]

yes...thanks for this,i haven't seen this footage in many years!...one of wiliam smith's greatest roles...

[PDDEX]

Wow, thanks for posting this! Always remembered this brilliant scene from the 70's. William Smith played the ultimate evil bully. Great when Tom he pours the coffee over his head and beats him senseless. Bloody hated the ending when Falconetti finally gets his revenge.
