All the great hallmarks are there.

Reminds me a little of the pool-hall fight sequence in Mean Streets. I need to see this movie, Scorsese was one of the many amazing directors of his time. His quality has kind of gone down in the recent years when you look at classics like Taxi Driver or Raging Bull compared with, say, Shutter Island :/

But nevertheless, the man is a legend, and he deserves respect.

[Machinesamba]

This is not his first min. of film. He made three shorts before this. His first min. of film was actually shot 9 years before this was shot. Regardless, this is a great scene. thanks for posting!

[StupidFuckingTrolls]

@Machinesamba Those were student films, this film actually made it in a theater.

[TheJabberwock]

@rankingtrevor - there were movies made before the popularization of Asian cinema in America. Haven't you seen Clockwork Orange?

[rankingtrevor]

what that a fuckin joke? they were barely tickling him!! There is faking violence and theres pantomime acting, this was the latter. Poor quality fighting!

[StupidFuckingTrolls]

@rankingtrevor Just like Jabberwock said and second of all...this is low-budget, you can't even do shit like this so i suggest you stop being a Douchebag!

What's the song in this video

[lloydmcc120]

Who's that knocking on my head?

[LedTravis]

i think there is a sequence before this one. when mrs. scorsese, playin' keitels mother, makes dinner.

nevertheless, grand opening of one grand director.

[futurestoryteller]

Keitel was like a secret asshole in this film. The ending was kinda fucked up.

[walnyc]

That's filmed right in front of what is now Billy's Antiques and Props...we keep the tradition of beatings alive!!

[tidwell085]

i, for one, am glad to hear it.

[tomes55moon]

sooooooooo good. I always find this (anyone else?) that in a lot of the great directors directorial debuts,although often the whole picture and story may be lacking something (as they're still learning their craft) there are often moments/scenes/ideas which seem almost bigger and stronger than anything else they ever did? and that's in no way a diss, i find that with many directors

[tidwell085]

interesting. i'll definitely think on that. it's obvious here...

[mrkhamaileon]

@tomes55moon I also agree with that kubrick was the same way and look how he turned out.

[tomes55moon]

@mrkhamaileon yeah! definitely. I'm sure you've seen Fear and Desire, Kubrick's first feature. I think there's some really brilliant moments in that film and his other early work too. He turned out to be a Genuis (like Scorsese).

[tidwell085]

you can just see the makings of a great filmmaker

[blvdofdeath]

houston st. and bowery.

[vpdoll]

ahh, at 0:56 we see the young director, dressed in black, run up and out of frame... his first cameo.

[lialyss]

I can't see who is scorsese

[BunchofMovieVideos]

@vpdoll Are you sure? How can you tell?!

[FoolsGoldFish]

This is pretty much amazing...can I find the whole thing on here?

[Summerwind159]

I love this opening scene... such a contrast between the music and the scenes.
