@MrFrontrowkid i saw ur similar wrong headed comments elsewhere too - are u saying that most pawnshops were not jewish?bc if they were,it is realism+stereotyping - as u know this= studio movie made by warner bros. - there was/is vicious racist stereotyping of many ethnic groups by hollywood but claiming jews as victims of hollywood is a bit silly imo. jews were very real victims of racist movies elsewhere,esp in germany - phantom victimhood claims hurts the very real victims

The gun shop scene from The Terminator seems like a tribute to this scene.

@judopathoftruth LOL

Interesting that the gun shop owner is Jewish. This character stereotype was common in '30's movies where pawnshop brokers were usually typed as being Jewish. Cagney is shown as putting one over on the "Yid" who would usally overcharge their customers.

There is a scene similar to this in "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly."

Chuck Norris makes breakfast for James Cagney

[doctornoooo]

the only better gunshop scene in films than this is Steve Mc Queen in The Getaway

and this was William Wellman directing folks so it would take the likes of Pechinpah occasionally to beat Wellman

[doctornoooo]

cagney was the voice over in Willard  you dirty rat
