persie PRINCE this was my favorite show when it came out. Scorsese did an excellent job. Great casting, great production. The character building and storyline were awesome too.
They couldn't have found a better lucky! On the striangth of this and his Tommy DeVito portrayal V. Piazza became one of my favorite. fella who played, Capone= 👍👍 I like dude who played big Jim Colosimo as well . He did a thing for HBO called Vendetta. bout the US's first Mafia Incident.=👍👍 Dude plays J.Torrio =👍👍
This scene really showed just how different Luciano and Capone were. Al basically was gonna ride the ship as far as he could, while Lucky was the guy with a vision.
yea, but AL capone became more famous. When you ask somebody what is the first thing that comes to there mind when you think of the mafia. They will say either Jon gotti or AL Capone
Both al and lucky were flashy and loved the media attention at the height of their criminal reign. Yea Luciano probably was more succesful over all, but at this time al Capone was the most powerful and famous gangster to ever live, and he was younger than lucky. He came from nothing and at age 26 became boss. Lucky had connections all over the world, and was obviously more business ordinated, but Capone ran Chicago like no one else has ever ran a U.S. City. That's why he will always be #1!
'DESK, ELEPHANTS!' 'DISC ELEPHANTS!' 'DISC IN MY PANTS!' 'DIS IS MY PANTS!' 'PISS IN MY PANTS!' Man abruptly urinates on Al Capone to the horror of everyone around.
AL: i don't give a FUUUCCKK, find him "Where the FUCK is Mueller!?" "Find FUCKIN Mueller!" "Anybody seen Mueller!??" "Wheres Mueller???" "Mueller!!!!!"
The actor playing Capone as flamboyant and outgoing. The actor playing Luciano as low key and laid back. Both actors did a excellent job portraying these famous gangsters.
If you know your history, you’ll realize the fact that Capone not remembering Jimmy is such a good attention to detail due to him suffering from syphilis at this point in his life. (Syphilis degenerates the mind; hence the memories a person has of someone or something begins to fade away.)
@@mini_pypermaru - Well that too, but Capone did spend a few years and a lot of money with Jimmy. You'd think he'd remember him. This kinda explains why he doesn't.
@@mini_pypermaru Right i always assumed that too That capone remembered jimmy but was just playing like he didn't because he saw jimmy as far beneath him now And capone was also maybe frontin like that to throw some extra disrespect on it because of how jimmy humiliated capone during the party in season 1
I liked the detail that Al didn't remember Jimmy. Showed how important he was to the audience but what little impact he really had in the circle of these gentleman let alone Al Capones life. Sure, they did business together but Al wasn't no ordinary man, he only cared for his son - noone else.
No its cause Jimmy was the one who insulted him back in the day claiming that he never received his infamous scar from the war, jimmy was the one that saw through the lie, and that pissed off capon
Also it showed the side effects Heroin had on Al Capone, its a real thing how he actually forgot people. He was basically a vegitble when he died in the late 40's
madd ace Al had a cocaine addiction, yes, but his brain issue was called Dementia. Which is caused by Syphilis if not treated. Al caught Syphilis back in 1919, in the whore houses he worked in, but he never got any treatment for it. By 1939 Al already had full blown Dementia.
Both these actors should seriously win an award, they played their characters perfect. Really captures the essence and mood of what it was like back then and how these guys lived
Luciano knew he wasn't going to get anywhere with Capone, but he didn't need to worry for long since Capone was going to prison anyway. Luciano dealt with the Chicago Outfit through Underboss Paul Ricca instead of Capone's successor Frank Nitti. Ricca was someone Luciano can see eye-to-eye with and he was considered the true boss of the Outfit.
I thought Paul Ricca went to jail after Nitti offed himself...I thought it was all Arcardo, Joey Aiuppa Giancarna etc that kept Chicago independent yet still within good standing with the NY boys?
@john doe Even though it was crime...That was a helluva family tree to be a part of. The money, power, let alone the history and times that those boys operated in...To see legends come and go but to still be around that's impressive.
@john doe I'd give the Chi boys the slight edge....Everything is bigger in NY but your boys had the city locked tight, very little outside trouble, and are still entrenched in Chicago today more so than the other guys in NY now.
Luciano not only had the brawn but he also had the mind for that kind of world, he knew that everybody worked together regardless of background, everybody will benefit. Capone on the other hand was far too dictatorial and brutal for that kind of move to begin with. It's not always the strongest that wins, most of the time it's the smartest.
True. He's the godfather of organized crime. He didn't give a shit about being Italian or working with other races. He wanted his money and his power and anybody in his way would get taken out. Very cunning and smart man. Gangsters owe him everything for the system he designed and put into place.
They owe J. Edgar Hoover even more. Dude just would not believe criminals were organizing even into the 60s when RFK started cracking down as Attorney General. One of history's biggest asshats.
Anyone ever realize that Al never remembered who Jimmy was when Lucky mentioned him at around 2:56? After everything they went through he just forgot about Jimmy..
Al was a big shot by this point, the most famous gangster in the world (even if wasn't really the most powerful). Historians say he was always pretending to know people he didn't and saying he'd never heard of people he formely did associate with. He was obsessed with his image as a tough guy, he never wanted people to know that once he was just Torrio's errand boy.
Couldn't be more wrong about who Capone actually was. Torrio handed him the entire business at 24 years of age and he overran the city in a way Torrio never could. He never hide from Torrio's mentorship or looked down on it. Also, Capone wanted to be seen as a businessman, not a tough guy. He even lied about his scars saying he got them in the army because he didn't want to portray himself as a criminal hoodlum getting in knife fights to people. He associated with high profile uppity types because he was the precursor to the "I'm not a gangster, I'm a business man" attitude that popularized after him and also, Luciano was the only one more powerful than Capone and only because New York was so big, Capone had the entire midwest to himself. And Luciano only became more powerful after Capone's imprisonment, when he was out, he was the most powerful.
Boom Ol well other than that he was, ya know, a murderer. But still, reading up on Capone, its amazing how the outfit operated like the idealized image of a modern corporation, if not better; they were loyal to a fault to each other, they avoided conflict if they could but fought mercilessly when they had to, and they recognized talent and hard work and rewarded it in spades.
@@littlejimmyscumbag2551 Firstly, Al was 26 years old not 24. Also you say he didnt wan't to be portrayed as a hoodlum, well he WAS a hoodlem, he tried to take credit for being a hero in a war he didn't even fight in, which is disgraceful. How many people do you think died or had there bones broken under his orders to make them change there vote? How many prostitutes do you think where beaten, raped and killed while he was in charge? The only reason people have a glorified view of mobsters is because of Hollywood and the media.
@@danielsimms4262 Did you actually correct me on two years as if that made any difference you fuck head? The point was he was extremely young when he became a boss.
Lucky and Al used to come to Hot Springs to 'play the ponies' and do business. I met a nice elderly lady at one of my doctor's appointments there. Her father owned a hotel and Mr. Capone and Mr. Luciano used to stay there. She said she remembered being 12 or 13 at the time, and how glamorous everyone seemed. That hotel is gone now, like a lot of the great buildings from then.
***** Because the guy he's talking about ( Mueller) is a stiff guy and the phrase cigar store indian refers to a wooden statue of a Native American that advertisers use to promote different types of tobacco products in places such as cigar stores typically. Lucky was referring to how stiff the guy was, posture wise, because he couldn't remember his name .
I keep coming back to watch this scene something about it! This show had incredible dialogue between characters! They could have ran this show 15 season if they kept Jimmy and Richard in the mix awhile longer. Rothstein dying between season 4-5 was a huge bummer for me.
Al's desk, next to the elephants...... Al's desk next to the elephants!...right!..... Al's desk next to the elephants! Since when does it take a village to put a simple ornament on a desk......(next to the elephants?) lol haha
Al Capone was too big a target. Not only was he arrogant? But also stupidly flamboyant, I was more respectful of Luciano, at least he wasn't a loud mouthed wannabe, although I liked capone's demeanour? I have to say that he was handling his authoritative position rather.....poorly, his men seemed like idiots aswell.
Yeah, I know, but still, being a crime boss requires the entire circle to be low key, like how Capone beat up that reporter who wanted him to "give-a-statement" and for that other guy who he beat in the bar for simply mocking one of his employees. Blood is bad for business, draws way too much heat and puts the family "on-the-radar"
The days were good for the mafia during the "don Calo" era. But as time passed, no one seemed to care about organised crime, which is understandable due to the fact that at the end of the day, everyone wants to go home to their wives and kids, sleep comfortably, enjoy life and have as little worry about it as possible.
***** Actually Luciano had ties to La Cosa Nostra even through prison, and even once he was deported back to Italy he was a strong figure. Not to mention Luciano became almost as big of a show off as Al once he came to power as well. It was few that actually managed to keep it Low-key. Guys like Gambino and Lanksy were they few that excelled perfectly at this with little to no flaw.
To those who are wondering why Capone seems to forget Jimmy here's a couple of theories: 1. his neurosyphilis 2. Just simply moving on and he slipped his mind like a kid you went to school with you gradually forget there was a few years between seasons 4 and 5, gradually someone won't have value beyond a memory anymore and they only knew each other for a year? If you put the fictional Capones history in order Jimmy was only there really 5 minutes 3. Maybe he didnt forget him at all and could've been Capone not hearing over the chatter and Lucianos voice asking who its never really elaborated on as Jimmy himself isnt really the subject it was Van Alden 4. The drugs and not caring about the discussion at hand 5. Some of or all of the above
@@simonloliong8075nope. Look at the clues in the show, Torrio left right before that hit came on Al, shortly after Torrio gets hit. Then it’s found out Torrio was helping Lucky and Meyer with the Commission, and when they didn’t need him anymore, they told him he was out
The most famous gangster vs really the most powerful one. It's something how Capone has been so popular in pop culture yet his reigns lasted not very long. Yet Lucky not only created org. crime in the US, not only was he the genius that came up with most of the concepts, he also was the most successful one and lasted the longest of them all. Was nether arrested or assassinated. Died of old age in Europe.
he got arrested what the fuck are you talking about ? he got arrested and sentenced to 30-50 years for prostitution but then helped united states in WW2 and got out but got deported to italy then died at the airport when he went to meet a director who wanted to make a movie about him. dont talk when u dont know shit but yes, he was the real don of them all
one he died in Italy 🇮🇹 second he did do time like 24 hours mayb a day an noon he didn't have the longest reing Arcardo had it from 1936 to 1992 bro no jail time thatz mr Joe's batter im talkin about my bad I mean Joey bosa grandpa 😉 ooo yeah that joey bosa all star 49ers all star
Al was suffering from early stages of dementia on the count of the syphilis I saw it on History channel he spent his last days apologizing to the men he murdered in the St.Valentine Day Massacre .
It shocked me a little when Luciano referred to Jimmy Darmody as "the jerk off Nucky Thompson iced" when Al couldnt figure out who he was talking about It may be that too much time has passed and Al really did forget. Or it was the cocaine that affected his memory. Either way, it shows how quickly those that died are forgotten in the criminal world.
It was kinda a raw deal Luciano was offering Capone, he never really left Chicago until he was sent to prison out of state in '31. So they wanted him to pay into an organization he didn't need for protection in cities he never went to.
Godzilla52 I kinda took as him just acting like he didn't know him cuz his time as a low life thug and johnny's bitch were over. He remembers jimmy just fine, he's the main reason he got his start cuz without him they wouldn't have robbed those guys in the beginning of the series. Or it could just be a middle finger to the actor who was rumored to be kind of a dick.
love this scene. they should have made a spin-off with Luciano and Capone...fucking show was way too short, but I'm guessing it had something to do with lack of information. guess they used up all the info they had and wrapped it up. Meanwhile bullshit soap operas get like 20-30 seasons smfh.
You know a show is great when in every comment section of every video someone says " This character is the best" and its about a different character each tiime
Really makes me realize this show didn't hit its stride till near the end. This show would've been great if it had gone all the way with the build up to the reorganization of crime in pre-war America. Sadly we don't start seeing that till seasons 4 and 5, and by then the show got canceled.
The one thing I take away from Boardwalk Empire was Richie Aprile Vincent acting. I would sit at home in awe of his abilities as an actor. That and he had incredible screen presence.
What they left out was the real Nuckey never was killed. Did 5 years for tax invasion and got out to live comfortably as a counselor to both politicians and gangsters still. 😎
Much as I loved the Actor, he looked nothing like Al Capone lol. He was short and too light haired. Al Capone had a VERY distinctive look thats hard to forget so when I saw this dude I was like? Really.? Now. The dude playing Luciano gotta by hands down one of the best portrayals and likeness I've seen in a long time since Jamie Foxx played Ray Charles.
This show, star studded cast, writing by the Sopranos writer(s), directed by Scorsese This show is perfect and a Godsend for all lovers of Mafia content
Yea but by that point in the show it had been 11 years and 16 years after this Al Capone died of syphilis that gradually deteriorated his mind to the point he had the mental capacity of a 12 year old so the theory is either he just doesn’t remeber him cause of the amount of time that’s passed or because of his deteriorating mind
@@conmanreloaded4249 Ok great point. Although the event you indicate was not depicted nor inferred in the series, and the series was not based 100% on actual character events. Like you said, maybe he forgot about Jimmy...
theGameGuy that’s a fair point it’s never mentioned in the show but given the show accurately depicts other activities he had such as his drinking, cocaine addiction, and at least One scene depicts him getting uh.....serviced by one of Johnny’s girls his whoring is there too so I don’t think it’s too far of leap to assume show Al is on the same path as historical Al after the series ends. Although now that I think about it in the context of the show his substance abuse could also explain him not remembering Jimmy if he doesn’t have syphilis for what ever reason

"The cigar store indian" LMAO!!!!
bec..
***** Because the guy he's talking about ( Mueller) is a stiff guy and the phrase cigar store indian refers to a wooden statue of a Native American that advertisers use to promote different types of tobacco products in places such as cigar stores typically. Lucky was referring to how stiff the guy was, posture wise, because he couldn't remember his name .
@@psafety9355 seinfeld had one in a show hilarious
@@psafety9355 im navajo and i think im gonna start using that lol thats a hilarious description
I keep coming back to watch this scene something about it! This show had incredible dialogue between characters! They could have ran this show 15 season if they kept Jimmy and Richard in the mix awhile longer. Rothstein dying between season 4-5 was a huge bummer for me.
If they make a solo Lucky Luciano Movie i want this guy to play Luciano..its sooo perfect
Luciano was the godfather! Such a man
Al's desk, next to the elephants......
Al's desk next to the elephants!...right!.....
Al's desk next to the elephants!
Since when does it take a village to put a simple ornament on a desk......(next to the elephants?) lol haha
Since an arrogant emperor was born
Al Capone was too big a target. Not only was he arrogant? But also stupidly flamboyant, I was more respectful of Luciano, at least he wasn't a loud mouthed wannabe, although I liked capone's demeanour? I have to say that he was handling his authoritative position rather.....poorly, his men seemed like idiots aswell.
Yeah, I know, but still, being a crime boss requires the entire circle to be low key, like how Capone beat up that reporter who wanted him to "give-a-statement" and for that other guy who he beat in the bar for simply mocking one of his employees. Blood is bad for business, draws way too much heat and puts the family "on-the-radar"
The days were good for the mafia during the "don Calo" era. But as time passed, no one seemed to care about organised crime, which is understandable due to the fact that at the end of the day, everyone wants to go home to their wives and kids, sleep comfortably, enjoy life and have as little worry about it as possible.
***** Actually Luciano had ties to La Cosa Nostra even through prison, and even once he was deported back to Italy he was a strong figure. Not to mention Luciano became almost as big of a show off as Al once he came to power as well. It was few that actually managed to keep it Low-key. Guys like Gambino and Lanksy were they few that excelled perfectly at this with little to no flaw.
The way they spoke about Jimmy broke my heart. One doesn’t remember and the other calls him a jerkoff
To those who are wondering why Capone seems to forget Jimmy here's a couple of theories:
1. his neurosyphilis
2. Just simply moving on and he slipped his mind like a kid you went to school with you gradually forget there was a few years between seasons 4 and 5, gradually someone won't have value beyond a memory anymore and they only knew each other for a year? If you put the fictional Capones history in order Jimmy was only there really 5 minutes
3. Maybe he didnt forget him at all and could've been Capone not hearing over the chatter and Lucianos voice asking who its never really elaborated on as Jimmy himself isnt really the subject it was Van Alden
4. The drugs and not caring about the discussion at hand
5. Some of or all of the above
I love how subtle they tell you Lucky was responsible w Al for trying to hit Torrio. Torrio was looking at his tomatoes when the attempted hit came
No 😂 the irish did that
@@simonloliong8075nope. Look at the clues in the show, Torrio left right before that hit came on Al, shortly after Torrio gets hit. Then it’s found out Torrio was helping Lucky and Meyer with the Commission, and when they didn’t need him anymore, they told him he was out
such a great show
"Theres better ways to do things" the match that lit the fire that pave the way for the mafia.
Im not even going to lie but Americans are great at producing movies, The best filmers.
The most famous gangster vs really the most powerful one. It's something how Capone has been so popular in pop culture yet his reigns lasted not very long. Yet Lucky not only created org. crime in the US, not only was he the genius that came up with most of the concepts, he also was the most successful one and lasted the longest of them all. Was nether arrested or assassinated. Died of old age in Europe.
he got arrested what the fuck are you talking about ? he got arrested and sentenced to 30-50 years for prostitution but then helped united states in WW2 and got out but got deported to italy then died at the airport when he went to meet a director who wanted to make a movie about him.
dont talk when u dont know shit but yes, he was the real don of them all
one he died in Italy 🇮🇹 second he did do time like 24 hours mayb a day an noon he didn't have the longest reing Arcardo had it from 1936 to 1992 bro no jail time thatz mr Joe's batter im talkin about my bad I mean Joey bosa grandpa 😉 ooo yeah that joey bosa all star 49ers all star
@@clafeborne1114 I meant he lasted the longest of that crew. But you're right, Tony Accardo had the longest reign of all time as a crime bosses.
Stephen Graham is the fucking don! What a lad!
"WALLACE BEERY?! WALLACE FUCKING BEERY?!"
Al was suffering from early stages of dementia on the count of the syphilis I saw it on History channel he spent his last days apologizing to the men he murdered in the St.Valentine Day Massacre .
"... Growing tomatoes."
Delivered so cool.
It shocked me a little when Luciano referred to Jimmy Darmody as "the jerk off Nucky Thompson iced" when Al couldnt figure out who he was talking about
It may be that too much time has passed and Al really did forget. Or it was the cocaine that affected his memory. Either way, it shows how quickly those that died are forgotten in the criminal world.
I think it was the cocaine or syphilis
It was kinda a raw deal Luciano was offering Capone, he never really left Chicago until he was sent to prison out of state in '31. So they wanted him to pay into an organization he didn't need for protection in cities he never went to.
And that's why Capone fought the NY mafia from 28-30.
The subtle jab from Luciano over the Empire State building - "this one pokes up higher" - a lot more going on in this scene than you first realise
This guy played a great Luciano.
I always hated that they referred to Jimmy as “some jerkoff that Nucky Thompson iced”. Like damn that’s messed up 😂
Well he did clap Jimmy's momma sooo... lol
@@TheDistantman true 😂
I kinda pissed me off that al Capone didn’t say anything about jimmy
It seemed like he didn't even remember him which was sad, since they were once partners and made on hell of a team.
Yeah well syphilis can fuck with your head.
It’s to show how full of himself he had become. Plus Jimmy was in the beginning. And Al had been through way more wild shit after their team up
"It's not less. It's more."
I'm not sure it was that Al didn't remember Jimmy, I think he was just surprised that Jimmy was brought up.
Godzilla52 I kinda took as him just acting like he didn't know him cuz his time as a low life thug and johnny's bitch were over. He remembers jimmy just fine, he's the main reason he got his start cuz without him they wouldn't have robbed those guys in the beginning of the series. Or it could just be a middle finger to the actor who was rumored to be kind of a dick.
That and it probably had something to do with that he had cocaine addiction as well as neuropsyphilis, that played with his brain.
love this scene. they should have made a spin-off with Luciano and Capone...fucking show was way too short, but I'm guessing it had something to do with lack of information. guess they used up all the info they had and wrapped it up. Meanwhile bullshit soap operas get like 20-30 seasons smfh.
The Outfit, like the state, became very bureaucratic
You know a show is great when in every comment section of every video someone says " This character is the best" and its about a different character each tiime
Throughout all of Boardwalk Empire, no one even once said, "Myah, see?". I feel cheated.
Luciano proved you don't have to be flashy to survive
Great scene
"I don't give a shit if he sold ice cream to escimos". I like that. I'm gonna use that
Legends has it the ‘Desk - Elephant relay race of 1929’ is still going strong today
Really makes me realize this show didn't hit its stride till near the end. This show would've been great if it had gone all the way with the build up to the reorganization of crime in pre-war America. Sadly we don't start seeing that till seasons 4 and 5, and by then the show got canceled.
cigar store indian!
-- This is so accurate for Van Alden
One of the greatest series ever
It’s rumored Al Capone’s lost diary was on his desk next to the elephants
I love the chemistry between Luciano and Capone incredible I want to see more of that
Al be like "no one fucks with me now"
I wonder how al Capone felt when Luciano became the boss of all bosses and made the commission while he was locked up
Luciano always disliked boss of the bosses that why commission was made
@@Grim_reaper758 Yeh he disliked the title, but the reality was he the defacto boss of all bosses
Lucky starting to set up the modern la cosa nostra... conversations like this probably happened. History.
Nice to see Tony Pro and Sally Bugs on the upswing
Stephen Graham is such a fucking powerhouse of an actor!
The one thing I take away from Boardwalk Empire was Richie Aprile Vincent acting. I would sit at home in awe of his abilities as an actor. That and he had incredible screen presence.
What they left out was the real Nuckey never was killed. Did 5 years for tax invasion and got out to live comfortably as a counselor to both politicians and gangsters still. 😎
Needed way more scenes with al and lucky, etc.... Would've made it a lot better
Much as I loved the Actor, he looked nothing like Al Capone lol. He was short and too light haired. Al Capone had a VERY distinctive look thats hard to forget so when I saw this dude I was like? Really.?
Now. The dude playing Luciano gotta by hands down one of the best portrayals and likeness I've seen in a long time since Jamie Foxx played Ray Charles.
Anybody noticed how Capone's goons would bark his orders as they did them?
"Is about our people."
"...Our people? What you mean by 'Our people'?"
The guy behind Stephen Graham (Capone) actually looks more like the real Capone.
The way Vincent hangs on the letter "s" at the end of every word, feels like nails on a chalkboard after a while.
the cast director should be financial independent by now. jeez Charly and Al are amazing
legend has it that Empire State Building Statue is still making its way to the desk next to the elephants XD
This show, star studded cast, writing by the Sopranos writer(s), directed by Scorsese
This show is perfect and a Godsend for all lovers of Mafia content
"Growing tomatoes"...nice reference.
2:55 Capone knew Jimmy Darmody from Season 1. Called him Jimmy Irish.
Yea but by that point in the show it had been 11 years and 16 years after this Al Capone died of syphilis that gradually deteriorated his mind to the point he had the mental capacity of a 12 year old so the theory is either he just doesn’t remeber him cause of the amount of time that’s passed or because of his deteriorating mind
@@conmanreloaded4249 Ok great point. Although the event you indicate was not depicted nor inferred in the series, and the series was not based 100% on actual character events. Like you said, maybe he forgot about Jimmy...
theGameGuy that’s a fair point it’s never mentioned in the show but given the show accurately depicts other activities he had such as his drinking, cocaine addiction, and at least One scene depicts him getting uh.....serviced by one of Johnny’s girls his whoring is there too so I don’t think it’s too far of leap to assume show Al is on the same path as historical Al after the series ends. Although now that I think about it in the context of the show his substance abuse could also explain him not remembering Jimmy if he doesn’t have syphilis for what ever reason
1:53 Look at the table shake. My guess is Stephen Graham slammed his fist in that take and they cut out the sound.
