genesisduke72 ::: Favorites This was totally improvised by them to play a joke on the director. He liked it so much he kept it in. Also the actress' ex husband saw the film in the theater several times for that scene. He was warned by management of the theater for laughing too loud and almost kicked out the cinema!. 07-09-12 18:38:41 __________________________________________________

RELubber ::: Favorites You hit your gal? You're not an asshole, you're just a coward. What Cagney did was ACTING. What you do to a woman should have the police called. What a douche bag you are. 07-09-08 19:52:31 __________________________________________________

nervouspete ::: Favorites Truth, it is a cruel act. But that's true to his character at that point in the story. It's a bit like saying that it was plain mean of Michael to have Fredo killed in Godfather 2. They act according their natures. As for brilliant, well it was. In acting you have to be prepared for such improv - it was a surprise to her, not an assault. Though obviously, anyone who did this in real life to a lady would deserve ultimate scorn. Cheers. 07-08-29 16:46:10 __________________________________________________
GourouBandai ::: Favorites GRAPEFRUIT!!! This clip is hilarious. What people need to realize is it's funny because of how over the top it is. It's like the little girl being tossed into a lake in frankenstein. In reality? that's mean and awful. How it's played in the movie? While unintentional, it's HILARIOUS. 07-07-28 00:27:46 __________________________________________________
RMena64 ::: Favorites Brilliant? I will admit I'm a big asshole and have gotten is somewhat physical confrontations with my girl but this is plain mean. She didn't deserve it. And to say it is brilliant, sounds a little immature. 07-07-17 22:35:08 __________________________________________________
