@@kennethbowers2897 They checked the floorboards at the house that Sheerin claimed to have killed him, and they found blood residue. They can't prove it was Hoffa's, but it proves Sheerin definitely knew SOMETHING.
Even though it likely didn't happen this way this was still a great take on the Hoffa story. Not a bad job by Danny Devito. Great acting all the way around.
Despite any jokes, or if the movie actually follows the facts, deVito’s directing skills are undeniable. The shots, editing, the use of slo-mo, and the overall tension are top notch. I wish he directs an action thriller someday.
Devito's directing here is great whether if follows the facts or not. This isn't a film made for history classes. It's for entertainment. Alt-history in feature films is nothing new. This was full of great actors. Armand Assante was a perfect alt-version of Tony Pro.
It’s not at all. His car wasn’t taken in real life, just left at the scene with no signs of anything that happened Why they would alter an obviously well known fact it beyond me
Huh? Gee, sending in a semi with several men wouldn’t attract TOO much attention or anything...not to mention killing him out in the open in broad daylight.
This scene is stupid in two ways: one, a suppressor is not that quiet. It's actually pretty loud. Two, the car was left in parking lot with no sign of struggle, so obviously Hoffa was moved, probably voluntarily, to another vehicle.
This scene depicts a theory as to how Hoffa met his end. Nevertheless, watching this movie in the theater, I burst out laughing, not because of the violence, but because only the Mob would be able to whack a major crime figure, then not only all of the evidence, but the complete crime scene itself totally vanish. It is what one calls thoroughness.
It’s actually not theory at all, but a farce and a laughable one at that. His car wasn’t even taken in real life, it was left at the place. Why they had to alter it boggles my mind.

It’s not a bad film, but this ending is pretty damn stupid. It’s a well known fact his car wasn’t taken in real life. Why they had to have it taken makes no sense.

Distressing as i remember that Summer of '75. The news of Mr. Hoffa's disappearance presaged the 24 hour news cycle as we know it today. Coverage was wall-to-wall. I took my radio with me practically everywhere I went that summer. That Summer of 1975 was, more or less, my last 'carefree' summer. I had all the time I wanted to pursue fishing for trout in the local creek. The memories of fishing and listening for developments in the case of the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa are inexorably linked in memory.
Lil walther ppk with subsonic 22lr would probably actually be even quieter than it is in this scene. I don’t know about that stubby little suppresser though. I also like that those first few rounds didn’t put him down.
Donnie Lauderdale didn’t go down like that either. The guys involved admitted it years later on their deathbeds. They went to Hoffa’s house, shot him in the foyer, then took his body and cremated it. They actually checked the foyer after the confession, and found blood in and under the flooring. Someone had cleaned it, but not before it got under the floor.
@@mikerose9313 didn't happen like that either, was picked up by three men one of which was Frank Sheeran and he was taken to an abandoned house and shot.

@@franklinwilliams8852 ok how were they going to get a Starbucks coffee if that was in Seattle and he was killed in Michigan ? Starbucks was struggling in 1975 so it was pretty much irrelevant anyway, I think they were refreshing how popular it is today but didn’t realize this movie took place 45 years ago referring about Starbucks..
Never understood why this movie was not truthful at the end hoffa cars still at the red fox a restaurant not a truck stop and his bodyguard was not there with him he was alone. The Irishman was more close to what might happen to Hoffa than the movie about his live was.
Yeah it’s stupid why they had to embellish what happened to his car. It was pretty pointless and IDK why they didn’t just end it by saying he went into the other car and was never seen again because that is what happened
I saw this in the theater when I was maybe 7 or 8 years old, and even though I probably couldn't follow the story that well, I still remember getting upset at this scene haha
@@Daveyengland I saw Blazing Saddles & Magnum Force at 11 because my Dad liked Mel Brooks & Clint. Maybe he had a cool Dad like that. Schoolmates were sure I was making it up. Only the upperclassmen who’d seen them were convinced after quizzing me on plot points.
They're both alt-history takes on the Hoffa story. I enjoyed them both. Watched the Irishman twice (once in the theater) and then couldn't wait to revisit this.
Dennis Svensson I’d be more forgiving if the rest of the film didn’t try and act like a straight info biopic, or if there was even a small chance Hoffa was shot in the lot and his car stolen
I'm just gonna say it... This movie was made in 92. It's a good movie, but Sheeran's account didn't come about until the 2000s before he died. So this ending was based of speculation and theory. I Heard You Paint Houses came out after he died in 2006. This is still a good film, despite this ending, and it's about Hoffa and not Sheeran.

They didn’t have Starbucks in 1975 , Einstein.
Yes they did - Starbuck Founded March 30, 1971; 49 years ago
in Pike Place Market, Elliott Bay, Seattle, Washington, U.S. , Alfred E. Neuman
@@franklinwilliams8852 ok how were they going to get a Starbucks coffee if that was in Seattle and he was killed in Michigan ? Starbucks was struggling in 1975 so it was pretty much irrelevant anyway, I think they were refreshing how popular it is today but didn’t realize this movie took place 45 years ago referring about Starbucks..
So after watching this and Irishman, the only thing I came out with is that no one really knows how Hoffa died.
It was ....who killed hoffa
Though id leave you in suspence
@dayum son numerous Mafia members have stated that Frank Sheehan was lying
@@palmerphotojournal5403 even the iceman has claimed to have taken out Hoffa. I heard same thing you just commented.
@@palmerphotojournal5403
What mafia members? All of them who could’ve been involved are dead.
And his car wasn’t even taken as was seen here, that’s such an obvious fact that it makes no sense why your change it for “drama”.
They found his car at the red fox where he was last seen!
His car wasn’t moved
marlomma that’s favoritism for you
Although that's true i liked the way how they cleaned up everything
Wonder what the muzzle velocity, and energy ft/lbs for that matter, are in slow motion?!? 😐
Those two goons snatched Devito off the ground like they were helping each other pick up an empty duffel bag lol
What better way to not get caught than taking the whole crime scene 😂👌
Running towards a guy with a gun pointed at him... smart...
Sometimes it's expected man...
Well with a gun you charge, with a knife you run
@@alexnavas2802 Yes. You charge with a gun - with a knife, you run.
@@alexnavas2802 you don't charge when you're like 20 feet away. That works if the person is closer.
Al Pacino thinks so
I suppose he stopped at "Big Kahuna Burger" on the way back...
How did he go from working at Target to being an assassin anyways?
@@Adino1 Same way he went from being an assassin to being the hapless victim of Samuel L. Jackson, I guess.
This is much better than how Hoffa meets his demise in The Irishman.
THIS IS WHY MARCELLIS WALLAS IS SO PISSED
Never understood why this movie was not truthful at the end hoffa cars still at the red fox a restaurant not a truck stop and his bodyguard was not there with him he was alone. The Irishman was more close to what might happen to Hoffa than the movie about his live was.
Yeah it’s stupid why they had to embellish what happened to his car.
It was pretty pointless and IDK why they didn’t just end it by saying he went into the other car and was never seen again because that is what happened
I saw this in the theater when I was maybe 7 or 8 years old, and even though I probably couldn't follow the story that well, I still remember getting upset at this scene haha
OvaltinePatrol - this movie is a 15 rating? How could you see it in the cinema as a child?
@@Daveyengland I saw Blazing Saddles & Magnum Force at 11 because my Dad liked Mel Brooks & Clint. Maybe he had a cool Dad like that. Schoolmates were sure I was making it up. Only the upperclassmen who’d seen them were convinced after quizzing me on plot points.
Yo también, de que hayan muerto los protagonistas principales de la historia y haya quedado así nomás, me molestó mucho también.
Clearly the shooter was still angry about being locked in a Target store overnight.
He had a young Jennifer Connelly. He did ok.
Yeah I'll take being locked in a target with 1990 jennifer Connelly all day every day. Not a moment would be spent in anger either.
Never hire Danny Devito as a bodyguard.
After seeing Irishman, I have to say... this is embarrassing
tropicAces This scene is pretty badass.
Agreed
@@UziSuicide1989 not even kind of, now that the Irishman has presented the story that's 10x better and more logical
They're both alt-history takes on the Hoffa story. I enjoyed them both. Watched the Irishman twice (once in the theater) and then couldn't wait to revisit this.
Dennis Svensson I’d be more forgiving if the rest of the film didn’t try and act like a straight info biopic, or if there was even a small chance Hoffa was shot in the lot and his car stolen
I'm just gonna say it... This movie was made in 92. It's a good movie, but Sheeran's account didn't come about until the 2000s before he died. So this ending was based of speculation and theory. I Heard You Paint Houses came out after he died in 2006. This is still a good film, despite this ending, and it's about Hoffa and not Sheeran.
It is what it is
Even in ‘92 everyone knew this was never a probability, liked the movie Hoffa right up to the end
Yah a weird ending but still a great movie. Never trust a trucker.
@@wolfech1 Yeah that fact they took his car when it’s painfully obvious it wasn’t in real life ruins it.
Sheeran’s book is a work of fiction.
*Me and my friends watching this scene*
My friend : What’s so funny ? This part is supposed to be dramatic
Me : Oh it’s nothing
In my head : Frank Reynolds : So I started blasting
They was wrong as hell for making Danny Devito run like that
_"Say what again, I dare you, I double dare you muthafuka"_
No wonder Vincent and Jules lit Brent up. They knew what he was capable of.
1:27 pay attention to Danny devito
they seem to bend reality like aliens
He twitches and is in the wrong direction lol
It's called dieing.
green hahahahahaahahahhahahaha
"Lets get out of here Frank, come on."
Lol.....sally bugs is waiting
Danny DeVito’s as good of a bodyguard as Fredo Corleone in The Godfather
Danny Devito running is a hilarious spectacle
