I was a background extra in these casino scenes. They closed of a big portion of Caesars Palace casino to film in. Between takes Dustin Hoffmann would play video poker. Red Skelton visited the set one day and Barry Levinson stopped production so we could all give him a standing ovation.
I always thought the whole "1 for bad, 2 for good" might be obvious, and that they should occasionally reverse it - but on the other hand maybe Raymond would get confused.
@Sheldon Cooper yeah good point! Or they could do as MIT students did (the movie "21"), where the big better doesn't sit down with them but pretends to be a stranger who shows up later.
That line is very outdated. Counting a six deck shoe or even an eight deck shoe is very common for card counters now, it just means they have to do maths ontop of keeping track of the running count and basic strategy. You count the cards which give you a running count, you then divide by the number of decks remaining and you have your true count. Your true count will tell you if you have the advantage or not and so you will know whether to bet small or big, which is how you win counting cards at blackjack.
@@michaelmyersfan1001 it's always been common to be able to count 6-8 deck shoes. Black jack hall of famers did it all the time. It's only seems more common now because the legends have now written books and books on counting cards
Unfortunately, Caesars Palace removed the infamous escalator, and the area where they played blackjack has been converted to slots, while table games got relocated.
I was in the theater for the first Batman movie and this was one of the coming attractions, when Cruise and Hoffman came down that escalator, every teenage girl in the theater SCREAMED
I don't know, people always say that about actors who play disabled, as well as about actors like Philip Seymour Hoffman and William H Macy who play 'losers'. What's so great about his performance? He just sits still and stares a lot, unlike Tom Cruise who plays a more complex character.
National Acrobat: He's convincing. That's what makes dustin hoffman's performance so great in this movie. Tom cruise was good in it too don't get me wrong.
I tend to agree with you, although Dustin Hoffman is a fine actor. But the problem I have when it comes to famous actors playing disabled characters is that for the first half hour or so, I'm going, 'oh look, there's Dustin Hoffman playing a man with autism". It's just hard for me to buy it. Not that producers would agree with me but I think it would much more effective if the character had been played by a talented actor that nobody had heard of. Much more believable.
The comparison I always use is Leonardo DiCaprio's performance in "What's Eating Gilbert Grape." I know he had been on some idiotic TV sitcom but for the most part, no one knew who he was. When I first saw the movie, I actually had to check and see if the actor was in fact, mentally handicapped or not. His portrayal was that realistic and amazing. There's a lot of very talented actors out there waiting for their first break and for someone to give them a chance. They all had to start somewhere but as you said, it's tough to find a producer who's willing to go out on a limb like that.
The casino scenes themselves were so amazing! Especially because they showed it from Raymond's point of view. Everything so bright, so loud, right in your face. Being autistic myself, it's almost difficult to watch because of the sensory overload but it's also magnificent at the same time. And I love the "Rain Man, (the first time Charlie calls him that) let's play some cards!" This whole movie is a piece of art ❤
Hah I got escorted out of a casino, politely, after winning several grand while drinking and playing all night. It's funny, they act like you have conned them if you win.
That's because players are not supposed to win, or better the random player can score a lucky streak and that's good for the rep and work of the casino because it pushes the other players to play and loose more. But nobody is supposed to win big money with a constant flux of wins in a multi hour period, that's simply against the odds on which the entire betting floor is tweaked on. the casino is a rip-off per se, the house always wins, it's designed and run that way using complex statistics and math. All you see inside a casino is paid by the player's losses, wins are just a deacon.
It was one crazy night in Reno. I think I had depleted their vodka and redbull supplies. But I always tipped the waitress so she kept them coming, and always tipped the dealers whenever I won. By the time I made it to the car, my designated driver had gotten a good night's sleep. But yeah, the security guys sniffed me over like narcotics hounds. I thought they came to make sure I leave safely--nope. They were making sure I didn't cheat.
My brother came out to Vegas to visit me a couple of years ago and all he wanted to do was go to Ceasars and go down that escalator and play back Jack. We never did find the escalator, but we did manage to lose about 3k at the tables.
@@ninjavigilante5311 The irony was that when I saw The Hangover, I was the only one that got that reference. I was laughing so hard, but no one else understood why.
I think you're right. The only other performance of his that I think is strong is in "The Last Samurai". Other than that, I think audiences should avoid supporting this shill for Scientology like the plague, and the brainless action films like the "Mission Impossible" and the new "Top Gun" are especially noxious. It's formula and spectacle on steroids.
@Anti SJW So you're excessively proud of being a sucker for brainless spectacles with lots of unrealistic feats and cheesy plot. Movies like video games are the epitome of juvenile garbage. I'll take Denzel Washington in the first "Equalizer" film for more interesting and complex action drama if I want to see something more worthy of acclaim. You sound just like a teenager who's been warped by endless video games and dumba&& action extravaganzas like the Fast and Fatuous never-ending series of racing cars and stunted manhood stupidity.
The dealer is Nick Mazzola, who also played a blackjack dealer in Casino. Despite his deadpan expression, he was a really nice guy. Rest in peace, Nick.
I thought so! Glad I read through the comments sectiom before posting. He was the guy who Joe Pesci flipped a King of Clubs at, and it stuck to his shirt. "Ooooh look at this beaut! Take this card and pound it up your ass". Just brutal. And yes Mazzola was absolutely deadpan. LOL!
That man smiling at them at the table and asking them how'd they do it is Bob the sleazy sales manager from Recall in the movie "Total Recall". "You're gonna love this, Doug. It's the latest thing, we call it the ego trip."
I thought that it was the same guy in “Casino”, but equally thought I must have got my facts wrong…. Thank you for confirming that I’m not losing my mind! 😀 I actually thought the actor did a great job in both movies, but especially in Casino! ( both wonderful movies, of course!). RH Auckland, NZ.
love the fact that after pawning the watch, instead of going straight to the tables, he gets himself and his brother new threads, he’s a businessman and not a gambler and takes advantage of an edge when he see’s it
Fun fact: the blackjack dealer is the same guy who was dealing blackjack in Casino when Joe Pescis character went nuts and started throwing chips at him and insulting him
Also fun fact: that dealer worked the tables when the real life Tony Spilotro would skulk around Vegas. He said as mean as Pesci's character was in Casino, Spilotro was way worse.
Nope - just incredible cinematography, the perfect cuts and camera angles, to capture the actors' key subtleties and expressions just as they happen. THAT is the skill which movie makers just don't have anymore.
I'll tell you what, I got a buddy that specializes in watches being pawned by brothers of autistic savants. I'm gonna call him in and see what he has to say...
no they don't, as I wrote about above. NONE of this is typical blackjack scenario. The casino scene where people are cheering for someone having a good run winning money NEVER happesn....most people in the casino are gambling addicts or alcoholics who only care about their own money. These idealistic scenes come from dreams only. the only others in the casino are tourists, even they are too focused on their own play to care about someone elses winnings. the third group are the professional gamblers, who make a living playing, probably files tax returns, and are also too focused on their own action to care about two guys in identical suits who are Obiouvsly counting cards and will be asked to leave to casino soon.
the music to me is saying money is the root of all evil and is destroying the meaningful relationship Charlie could be having with his brother if he wasn't so self focused.
That's because it's a Hans Zimmer piece. He the guy who scored the Batman trilogy, inception, interstellar, pirates of the carribean and too many classics to list!
@@thiscorrosion900 I was going to say: as soon as the song started playing I was like "Woah that's Sisters Of Mercy"! Scrolled down to read the comments to see if anyone could confirm... Are you sure it's not? It sounds JUST like them...!
The acting, cinematography and music in this scene are just perfection. I don't know how any of them could've been done better. Love the juxtaposition of Raymond/Charlie and the lights, buzzers, etc. of a casino. Very accurate with it being a constant hub of activity. The card counting stuff was over dramatized and they likely would've been flat bet (can't raise or lower bets beyond one single amount) or backed off (asked to not play blackjack) before the later stages of this scene and even when this movie was made, casinos knew there were people who absolutely could count a six deck shoe accurately. Also, Raymond would know there are a lot of 10's left in the deck but couldn't predict the next two cards & the dealer's downcard would be a Queen and the two of them talking out loud in front of the dealer and then Raymond getting it correct would've set off all kinds of red flags. These are minor nitpicks in an overall outstanding scene from an outstanding movie
Probably one of the best scenes in movie history, when music and the the movie scene is in absolutely perfect harmony!!! You can't make it better than this!!! 👍
This entire soundtrack is highly underrated. The songs don't necessarily stand out on their own, nor have they endured in pop culture, but each one really is the perfect selection for what's needed in the scene.
Me and my uncle are gonna try and recreate the escalator scene when we go to Vegas. I'm a lot like Raymond with the way my memory works too, so that's cool.
I know the Movie is titled RainMan but I always thought that Tom Cruise was the Leading Role. He has more screen Time and he becomes a better person towards the end of the Movie. Anyway... Great Movie, Great Performances!
I watched it almost every day for over a year. I worked in the theater where it played. I know the film by heart. Great film. I still nearly tear up at the ending.
I remember reading an article years and years ago that during the Vegas hotel filming scenes, one of the managers was sent to speak to them after a guest complained about the noise they were making. On being asked to be quiet, they responded by saying they were filming a $25m movie, in the hopes it would impress. The article said the manager then politely informed them that the guest in the room below who had complained about the noise, had lost more than that in the casino that day and wanted some peace!!

It's gambling when you don't know whether you're going to be suspected of counting and asked to leave.
All about definition when dealing with law.

Is it gambling if you play the odds in your favor? Based on your statement, no it is not.

These idealistic scenes come from dreams only. the only others in the casino are tourists, even they are too focused on their own play to care about someone elses winnings. the third group are the professional gamblers, who make a living playing, probably files tax returns, and are also too focused on their own action to care about two guys in identical suits who are Obiouvsly counting cards and will be asked to leave to casino soon.
The music that they play while he is winning is so perfect, it makes you get goosebumps. it's dark lol
Someone once told me it was Sisters Of Mercy's "This Corrosion" used in this sequence: another illusion shattered, it wasn't!
the music to me is saying money is the root of all evil and is destroying the meaningful relationship Charlie could be having with his brother if he wasn't so self focused.
That's because it's a Hans Zimmer piece. He the guy who scored the Batman trilogy, inception, interstellar, pirates of the carribean and too many classics to list!
Frank Dux zimmer has a lot to answer for
@@thiscorrosion900 I was going to say: as soon as the song started playing I was like "Woah that's Sisters Of Mercy"! Scrolled down to read the comments to see if anyone could confirm... Are you sure it's not? It sounds JUST like them...!
The acting, cinematography and music in this scene are just perfection. I don't know how any of them could've been done better. Love the juxtaposition of Raymond/Charlie and the lights, buzzers, etc. of a casino. Very accurate with it being a constant hub of activity.
The card counting stuff was over dramatized and they likely would've been flat bet (can't raise or lower bets beyond one single amount) or backed off (asked to not play blackjack) before the later stages of this scene and even when this movie was made, casinos knew there were people who absolutely could count a six deck shoe accurately. Also, Raymond would know there are a lot of 10's left in the deck but couldn't predict the next two cards & the dealer's downcard would be a Queen and the two of them talking out loud in front of the dealer and then Raymond getting it correct would've set off all kinds of red flags.
These are minor nitpicks in an overall outstanding scene from an outstanding movie
I bought this soundtrack in the 80s on cassette for ten bucks and loved it on my road trips
Best movie scene ever. I still get goosebumps with the music & when they show Cesar’s palace. They really captured the moment 👍
Absolutely. You should read the book about the MIT beating blackjack.
You’d think that all the noise in the casinos would not fare well with Raymond.
When there are dollars to be made he was in the zone!
It didn’t sound like an airplane crashing so he was cool with the whole scene.
You can tell it does bother him a bit for sure. Just by his gesture @7:31 mark
Probably one of the best scenes in movie history, when music and the the movie scene is in absolutely perfect harmony!!!
You can't make it better than this!!! 👍
Great acting all the way around, Cruise & Hoffman great together
I can’t think of many actors that are more charismatic than Tom Cruise on film
It's because hes brainwashed by scientology
Ashton Duda .. and his ego is bigger than the moon
Never realized how similar the music is to Danger Zone.
It sounds more like “This Corrosion” by Sisters of Mercy.
Hoffman and Cruise had incredible chemistry in this film.
Great movie. Great actors. Great era for cinema and music. UNREPEATEABLE.
One of the best scenes in cinema history
OMG this is 30 years old..................
31 now bubby. Just like me...
Then they invested their winnings in a start-up called Microsoft
@@grilled_steak_stuffed_5586 Ouch your almost middle age man nothing to be ashamed
@Grady Whitman Movie is 32 years old now lol
@@blackentertainmenthistory8601 Still feel 26!
love this great scene from one of my favourite movies and Dustin Hoffman is incredible so is Tom cruise
Such a good scene; simple shots, well palced.
You know your short when Tom Cruise towers over you, damn Dustin.
LOL. Not exactly towering over Dustin but damn I didn't know he was shorter than Tom.
FranktheTank70 - and you know you're stupid when you contract YOU ARE to YOUR.
@@markfox1545 Short little Mark Fox
Towering a bit too harshly worded
This movie is a masterpiece.
This entire soundtrack is highly underrated. The songs don't necessarily stand out on their own, nor have they endured in pop culture, but each one really is the perfect selection for what's needed in the scene.
Standing ovation to Tom Cruise for his fantastic acting as a neurotypical person!
Great comment, my friend. This is why I like to read youtube comments.
Hans Zimmer’s score is phenomenal in this scene/movie. Highly underrated, and is so different from the epics with which people have familiarized him
@Desparaged Asparagus so he’s not one of the best of his generation?
@Desparaged Asparagus lol, how is that his fault
Best ... Casino scene ... Thank you Dustin ... Thank you Tom ...
Me and my uncle are gonna try and recreate the escalator scene when we go to Vegas. I'm a lot like Raymond with the way my memory works too, so that's cool.
Idiot
Wish these two would make another movie together because the chemistry between them was electric.
One of the greatest movies of all time , love rain man.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
This came out when I was in high school, I vividly remember that it was shown in the theaters what seemed like forever.
Jethro Derp I just remember people being like “Rainman is still being shown?!?” It had the record for a while if I am not mistaken.
I am 48 btw.
I know the Movie is titled RainMan but I always thought that Tom Cruise was the Leading Role. He has more screen Time and he becomes a better person towards the end of the Movie. Anyway... Great Movie, Great Performances!
dig this : Billy Wilder said that Cruise had a harder role because of having to react to Raymond . Wilder said that both men deserved an oscar.
Love dís amazing film but heartbreaking also, dat music is fantastic wen there in the casino, well done 2 these 2 amazing actors, 😄❤️
Dis? Dat?
Fond memories of seeing this movie when it came out. I can still smell the popcorn at the theater. :)
I watched it almost every day for over a year. I worked in the theater where it played. I know the film by heart. Great film. I still nearly tear up at the ending.
8:25 The transition to Raymond made this scene perfect.
Wonderful performances, by Tom, & Dustin ...great casting choices 🎬
Love it in the restaurant when Charlie realises that the casino is the way!
"You are beautiful man" LOL!
Best line in the movie.
not bad. but for me it's always been "Rain Man, let's play some cards." I say it just before the lunch rush at work.
Someone who uses LOL will never be able to judge lines.
LOL is for people who hate language.
@@jpgrumbach8562 sad, but true.
jp grumbach Looks like you don't how to judge language then, dickweed.
Only when he found a way to make money off him.
These two are just amazing in this scene.
Just watched Maverick, great movie. Tom hasn't aged a day. I want that pact with whatever he made.
I remember reading an article years and years ago that during the Vegas hotel filming scenes, one of the managers was sent to speak to them after a guest complained about the noise they were making. On being asked to be quiet, they responded by saying they were filming a $25m movie, in the hopes it would impress. The article said the manager then politely informed them that the guest in the room below who had complained about the noise, had lost more than that in the casino that day and wanted some peace!!
