@@nqshtherealest I recall when he was talking about the movie Flight, the interviewer said something about him playing someone and pretending to be drunk, and Washington said, no, no, he is a drunk, pretending he's sober.
When you are protecting a client where else are you going to be? When the client gets up to go somewhere do you think you ask: "Would you like me to come with you?" Course not! You have one job and that is to ALWAYS BE COVERING YOUR CLIENT. End of story. FYI.........Used to be a body guard for some high profile people. Never once asked: "should I come with you?"
Agreed! The only one that stands out to me a little bit more is the scene from Sicario when Benicio Del Toro shot the Cartel’s leaders kids and wife in front of him before killing him last. That’s was the most cold blooded thing I’ve ever seen.
In real life most peoples last words are “you really gonna kill me?” So this fits perfectly, people assume you will react the way they want you to and then boom lights out forever. Better luck in the next life.
Tango early in the movie kept disrespecting Frank. Tango believed after Bumpy Johnson died that he was going to run Harlem. Frank had to show him who was in charge here. It was cold and calculated. He knew exactly what he was doing.
True but after Bumpy died, Tango believed he could tax dealers 20% that operated in the neighborhood, including Frank. In their interaction where Frank was having coffee, Frank dismissed all that because Tango didn’t have the authority to do so. When redtop gave Tango the package, he never intended on paying Frank because he was trying to one up Frank for the tax ordeal.
This is Pure Savage. Not only Frank puts a Bullet in his head, but does it in Public knowing that no one will tell. Baddest part is he goes back to the Restaurant to finish his breakfast a block away.
The fact that he DID SHOOT HIM in broad daylight, in front of everybody, shows you how POWERFUL and FEARED he was in that neighborhood. He KNEW no one would even DARE TURN HIM INTO the police! This is one of the COLDEST gangster scenes I have ever seen - EVER!😮 ( And he DID NOT even take the money!)
That is probably Ernie from Scarface. Tony ordered Manny to shoot Frank Lopez, while he stood there. Then he offered Ernie a job and he took it. Mfer was trembling after they left drinking Jack Daniels out the bottle. He did redeem himself and went out like a G at the end.
I remember watching this movie in the theater and was enjoying it. But when this scene played out, i recall the theater going "woah" because I don't think everyone was ready for something like that. LOL
Interesting fact, Idris Elba was so surprised by the discharge from the gun (there was no blank so he was safe but still surprised) he fell backwards and yelled out, "I've been shot!"
Denzel Washington is such a magnetic actor. He has every quality that you look for in a movie star. And, he can flat out act. I remember the late Gene Siskel nominated him for 007. I agree.
The best thing about this scene is not how Denzel killed Idris Elba. But the way he walked over to him and shot him in the head in broad daylight, and returned to his brothers and cousins like he had gone only for a piss...is true Gangsta OG Style!
You realize his power knowing NOBODY on that street was going to snitch on him. Most ppl understood the cops were bought and paid for, so going to the cops would be blowing out your own brains once Frank finds out
Frank took the pains to empty the granulated sugar in the jar into a plate on the table because he didn't want to waste it. He very well could have tossed the sugar into the street as he stepped out of the diner, yet he had no second thoughts about 'wasting' Tango's life. Bro, that's cold as dry ice. 😄
The character he plays is quite much of a gentleman. In the beginning of the movie, that man he killed poured his drink on the table and didn't clean, so he politely did it and put the glass on a coater in a act of pure class.
"Honesty, integrity, and hard work" would be the last words you'd ever use to describe Frank Lucas. But you believe Denzel Washington's character as he says those lines... Just unbelievable stuff. Washington's *presence* in every film he does. You hang on his every word.
The stark contrast of the back to back scenes. The extreme of the Criminal shooting someone in the head in broad daylight while talking to his students. And the Cop confirming the story to his students of giving back a million dollars in Cash.
@@Moadar it's more like bad script decisions that he has made. You see Elba is more like a tough guy actor four comic book roles. I can actually see him as a General zod in a Superman movie but not a James Bond himself.
@@katherinejohnson3906 Shia was about as big as you could get from 2005-2010. Transformers were THE action movies of that timeframe and he also starred in Eagle Eye. He was a big actor, he just didn't last as long as people like Denzel did.
@Candy Baby49 The Dark Tower movie was a fucking flop before they even released it and you can't blame Idris Elba for that lol.... They tried to make a 1 off movie from a 7 book series. As soon as a multi book series is is given way towards a live action movie Its doomed to fail before its conceived.

Watched the whole scene. My take was, I could do with some pancakes right about now. 😆
This is one of the coldest scenes from any movie ever. Good stuff. Both men played their roles perfectly.
Agreed! The only one that stands out to me a little bit more is the scene from Sicario when Benicio Del Toro shot the Cartel’s leaders kids and wife in front of him before killing him last. That’s was the most cold blooded thing I’ve ever seen.

@@cristianprousthe took the gun back after he put the money in the jar.
Also similar to Ben Aflleck talking to some KKK member on Live by night.
The way he comes back inside the diner and sits down. Knowing fully well that there isn't a soul in Harlem that will tell on him to the police

His walk is EPIC
that is Denzel’s natural walk and you will see it in every movie he is in.
That music score is gold.

I came to hear it again but I have no idea what it's called
This is Pure Savage. Not only Frank puts a Bullet in his head, but does it in Public knowing that no one will tell. Baddest part is he goes back to the Restaurant to finish his breakfast a block away.
not even a block . . . more like 100-150 feet .
And in a booth right by two large windows😂
I was gonna say not even a block it was across the street 😂
The fact that he DID SHOOT HIM in broad daylight, in front of everybody, shows you how POWERFUL and FEARED he was in that neighborhood.

( And he DID NOT even take the money!)
Only in the movies
Ever!!
And he leaves the gun on his body, cold af
Tango’s bodyguard is the most useless bodyguard ever
If Tango shorted his boss what makes you think he wasn’t shorting his bodyguard?
That is probably Ernie from Scarface. Tony ordered Manny to shoot Frank Lopez, while he stood there. Then he offered Ernie a job and he took it. Mfer was trembling after they left drinking Jack Daniels out the bottle. He did redeem himself and went out like a G at the end.
Maybe he just knows not to mess with Frank.

Wrong. You need to rewatch Infinity Wars to time it. He has less time on the screen. Lol.

Just made that up.
Interesting fact, Idris Elba was so surprised by the discharge from the gun (there was no blank so he was safe but still surprised) he fell backwards and yelled out, "I've been shot!"
The easiest bread Idris Elba ever made lol
The look on his face right before he pulls the trigger is pure art. Cold, ruthless, but yet steeped in honor and loyalty. A code that you don’t break.
What?
Denzel Washington is such a magnetic actor. He has every quality that you look for in a movie star. And, he can flat out act. I remember the late Gene Siskel nominated him for 007. I agree.
I could see him doing 007...
Meanwhile in the afterlife
Idris Elba: damm he was serious about that
They all knew Frank was not the one to mess with. Even his bodyguard didn't make a move to try to stop it. Wow!

He very well could have tossed the sugar into the street as he stepped out of the diner, yet he had no second thoughts about 'wasting' Tango's life.
Bro, that's cold as dry ice. 😄
Nice catch 😊
You do realize that was probably written in the script?
Nope. The pouring of the sugar is a silent signal to his fellow gangsters. He's saying, "Shit's about to go down. Keep an eye open."
The character he plays is quite much of a gentleman. In the beginning of the movie, that man he killed poured his drink on the table and didn't clean, so he politely did it and put the glass on a coater in a act of pure class.
@@twittertwice He didn't say Denzel choose to do it, the character Frank did it. Of course it was in the script.
2:17 the wu tang clan are so good that they had fans before they even existed
I like how after he shot Idris his brothers began scooting their chairs up to the table. Denzel comes back and says where was I? Classic.
That's how you doin' biz in oll good Africa. It's Somali around them, isn't it? Pure commercial of the BLM lifestyle
You know after watching this scene, you're gonna watch this movie again

To be fair, if dude had paid like he'd agreed to, he'd probably still be breathing. Frank was just enforcing integrity.

Wtf are you talkin about …. So because he was a drug dealer he didn’t work hard?

Two of the most BEAUTIFUL men ever. Idris and Denzel.
His brothers were looking like , I dont kñow this brother of mine right here.
Very few characters in cinema truly embody the idea of "fuck around and find out", Denzel's portrayal of Frank is one of those characters.
There are probably more movies where Denzel should have won a best actor Oscar than not.
I agree. He definitely should have won an Oscar for this movie and for Malcolm X.
This is the clip that needs to be shared when someone says Idris is a better actor than DW.
Kidding, I adore Idris.
Yes...we all do. But he's no Denzel...and this movie proves it, especially this particular scene.
Nobody has ever said that lol!
“Letme show my fam that I ain’t playing around “
Denzel's scariest movie scene EVER!!
I love how the writers showed Denzel’s character shooting Idris character, to represent how he wanted him dead. Just, brilliant.
I seen a lot of gangster movies in my day. This scene is by far one the most gangster scene I every seen!
Why would you ever play I dare you with someone pointing a gun at you? If you made an error in judgement, there's no do overs.
He should have gave him his money.
Everyone believes Idris Elba wants to be the first black James Bond more then anyone. But this is living proof Denzil Washington wants it more.
At that moment his brothers were like I’m sorry for anything I ever did to you as a child!😅😅
That bodyguard lied on his resume.
How is Denzel Washington not a ten time Oscar winner?
Because he has not publicly punched Chris Rock 10 times :D
Plot twist- Tango survives and moves to Baltimore & changes his name to Stringer Bell.

This was actually years after Tango (Idris Elba) played his role in The Wire
Always crazy to me when ppl say “what are you gonna do, shoot me?” right before they get shot.
He says what he means, he means what he says.
I've always loved how my man had a WHOLE BODYGUARD who not only didn't do a damn thing but casually walked away when it was done!😅😅😅😅
Denzel was cold blooded in this great movie "my man"
business integrity at its finest, u settle ur debts even with the dead
If Idris Elba hadn't gone on to do anything else, he would still be remembered for this scene.
