Hank Schrader before joining the DEA was an undercover scientist for the American Department of Tobacco
I love how he sounds absolutely furious without screaming at the top of his lungs and overacting.
Great scene by James Garner. Legend.
James Garner was a legend. Loved the Rockford Files and in this scene he kills it!
Recently watched Support Your Local Sheriff. The writing in that movie was only matched by Garner's portrayal. Very clever film.
My stepfather worked for an RJR subsidiary for decades. As a result of the incredibly bad decisions highlighted in this film -- which led to the break-up of the company -- his employer was sold at bargain-basement prices, and he ended up losing his job and much of his pension. There were thousands of people left in the same situation.
So....quick reminder that no Executives were harmed in the making of this film. Or in real life. They all had Golden Parachutes.
Of course! It's now the American way for college educated idiots to stroke their way to the top of "Company X" and FUBAR the place beyond comprehension. Then they get a Golden Parachute to float away on to some nice tropical island with their wife and/or girlfriend,; money for life.
The regular 'Mud People" as Wall Street and the BOD"s look at us now, are expendable and don't matter, so when the company craters after we spend 20-40 years slaving away for a measly pension or stock options we are cut loose and Company X is liquidated and... the end.
Hank lost his job in tobacco and went to work for the DEA.
Yeah... don't invest your pension in a company.
@@Michael-it6gb I think that idea died legally and personally four decades ago???
Garner was always great. Comedy or drama. Haven't laughed like that in awhile...
Gotta love Ed trying to make the best of a bad situation: "there's nothing wrong with 5% of the smoking market." LOL 😆
IW ...............Ed is the classic numbers man !!!!
@@dannycalley7777 he's a slimy self-serving corporate waste of space
My favorite actor James Garner.... Miss him Maverick and Rockford Files so on and so on...
This entire scene made me laugh way way harder than I would normally admit.
This is the moment when Hank started hating chemistry teachers
Good eye.
Hahaha
time to break ----- bad
I thought that was him back there! Confirmed when he spoke.
Love James Garner.. That is one of the funniest scenes I have watched in ages!.
I have always thought this was one of the funniest scenes in movie history! "Tastes like sh*t and smells like a fart"!!!
This was such an underrated movie. a very solid flick
Hank before he worked for the DEA
"Tastes like shit, and smells like a fart. Got ourselves a real winner here." - I am totally stealing this for heavy re-use.
Brilliant movie
Classic Jim Garner !
That is one of the funniest scenes I have watched in ages!
Another great HBO movie, with the late great James Garner.
If only Angel was by his side 🙂
HBOs tv biopic movies are still some of the best. This, Gia, Gotti, Citizen X, and those were just the 90s.
Hank Schrader has one helluva resume.
Warning, this cig will tear your balls off!
"Premier cigarettes - taste like shit, smell like a fart, and guaranteed to tear your balls off! Try premier cigarettes...TODAY!"
Plus, you get a free truss with every pack!
God I love that scene
James Garner was fantastic in this flick!
this is one of the greatest moment in cinema, an advertising masterclass, and a great example of how a corporation is run.
Oh, Boy. Everything gets the "Greatest in the History of the World (Too Bad They Don't Make 'Em Like This, Anymore)" treatment.
@@ThomasFromTN if sneering çuntʒ like yourself write the script, i´m afraid these laughs are indeed consigned to history...
@@ThomasFromTNthis is good but so far from the greatest anything...😆
Vintage James Garner.
This film was basically the Rockford Files with profanity 🤣
Dean Norris as 1st Scientist - Hank Schrader from Breaking Bad!
He was almost 30 here. Shitty genes.
God, I will always miss James Garner.
Just think 30 years later he almost got Walter White from smoking shit to eating dirt. What a career
You couldn't say "shit" today.
Millennials, scrubbed head to toe with bleach 2x per day by their OCD helicopter mommies, get highly offended, and insist on "poop."
No, instead of saying "shit" they'd show the poop emoji.
One of my favorite movies.
I love Premier Cigarettes. They beat the shit out of every other brand.
They never went on sale. Good job calling yourself out as a troll bot.
@untexan
I think he was making a joke perhaps a faux ad slogan
the smokers glenn gary glenn ross
HOLD UP!
Dean Norris is one of the scientists in this scene lol!
I did a double-take myself.
Got to be the funniest "Yep" in film history
"Shit was the consensus.....yes sir"
Well worth your time. A good watch. But I still want to know how all those people knew what shit tastes like...
I saw that movie when it was new. Don’t really remember much if it except the bottom line re Garners character and the company in the end. But that scene was hilarious.
Rockford Aside (so as not to sway the vote positively)Jim Garner was a great great Actor.
Matt Clark, a very likeable actor.
This was the exact moment when Hank became Willy Wonka
This was a great movie
This is why vaping comes in so many delicious flavors.
Damn he was good. No bullshit and funny as hell. And look there's Hank from "Breaking Bad" starting at 0:25! Never noticed how much Dean Norris reminds me of James Caan.
It took $350,000,000 and a marketing research company to tell these guys how it smells and tastes? Corporate executives are even less intelligent than I suspected.
The $350 million was the cost of the R&D to make the cigarette smokeless. In today's dollars, it would be just over a billion. Remember smoking back then was huge. Nearly everyone smoked, hence why the guy said he would be happy to take 5% of the smoking business. RJR was a massive company of the era, but its problem wasn't that it didn't make shitloads of money but that it wasn't growing anymore. Which for a public company with stockholders is nearly as bad as one that is failing. Hence why there was a massive fight to take it private with a leveraged buyout.
This brought me joy.
This is actually a very good movie. Maybe underrated. I think I have it on DVD. :)
Love James Garner.
He called it a "filtered Edsel" somewhere else in the movie.😂
"A little difficult?"
Smokeless cigarettes 🚬 is a great idea
Great movie....was hilarious.
They figured it out. It’s called a vape.
Loved the movie, Garner was great, and totally forgot Hank was a bit player. I didn't catch it the first few times I watched, but it doesn't make much sense. If they work with lighters, then tell the people (and/or give them lighters)..
Don't forget the
Damn this was funny 😂
This was a made for HBO movie released in 93 called _Barbarians at the Gate._ It's the true story of when Philip Morris tried to introduce smokeless cigarettes.
It's also about corporate backstabbing, industrial spying and incompetent marketing.
It's a fantastic film that, unfortunately, will never see the light of day again because it's a comedy about making cigarettes.
And that just will not do.. 🖕🏼😒
Is that ASAC fucking Schrader?
That's him alright
I like to walk up to the counter at Frys food stores and pretend I’m going to buy some cigarettes and ask the lady with the oxygen tubes if she could recommend a good cigarette. What about Marlturdos? They any good? I ask all straight faced…
epic scene
This is hilarious
Who the hell would sneak into a john to smoke one of these??
This movie could come out today and still be relevant, WAY ahead of it's time. The price final price offering in the movie was 24 billion in 1998. That's peanuts compared to today. When Leeman collapsed in 2008 their net worth was 600 billion. Nestle doesn't sell much of anything. It's not what they sell, it's what they own. Nestle paid Starbucks 7 billion just to get their pods into every Starbucks basically in perpetuity. They paid cash and don't own any part of Starbucks, that's what the pod business is worth. At least they're not making chocolate rocket ships for space but you would get free coffee refills.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
you tell me balzs🙂
To be honest, normal cigarettes are shit and smell like shit anyway.
But normal cigarettes won't give you a hernia.
This was a great movie by HBO. They really made some great ones.
The late shift-about the Leno/Letterman story.
Dead ahead- exxon Valdez disaster
All made around early 90s. Oh and dont forget the Pentagon Wars. About crazy spending of our government as well as the armed forces spending and craziness.
Ever see Head Office?
Great satire on Corporate America; worth watching for Jane Seymour:)!
