Henry Silva said, "Sharky's Machine' is my favorite movie that I was in." Silva also said that it was his idea to do the yell before shooting his gun."
41years ago on, January 6th, my wife and I had our first date. We went to see the movie “Sharky’s Machine”.
Thank you for this documentary.
Congratulations. A great movie made extra special.
And she still married you after seeing this dogfart flick? It's objectively awful.
Such a great movie. I wish Burt Reynolds had directed & played Sharky again! Well done doc, sir!

Sharky was one of my favorite roles to see him in, and it really moved Burt up a notch for me. His machine of veteran actors always made it one of my favs. I also can't forget the living legend Guro Dan Inosanto wielding his Balisong! Great job as always Gator!
Cheers! Gator 🐊
Just think Justin DiPego wrote Trial of the incredible Hulk, if only he wrote another Sharkys machine sequel.
Gator, Sharkey's Machine is by far one of Burt's best movies and even after 40 years, it still stands as one of his best.
I'm here for Rachel ward so thanks for the rare info
Aren’t we all? She’s a treasure. Cheers! Gator 🐊
My dad took me to this opening matinee and the tone balance between comedy and drama was a revelation to me as a kid. I'll never forget how perfect the back and forth was. What I couldn't have known then was I was seeing Die Hard seven years before Die Hard. That backwards fall out the highrise window freefall stunt is an all-timer only outdone by the backwards fall in Burt's third directing outing Stick, where the camera is on the actor's face on the way down.
Burt was wrong on his self assessment that as a director, he fumbled the ball twice. He was two for two in a very big way. And mastered tone in two very thematically different movies. You can't luck into that or have it a happy accident. That's genuine talent and a skill set at a very high and specific level of expertise.
Although Burt didn't direct theatrical features after '85 Stick, he did direct himself again for tv movies after the success of Boogie Nights.
Sharkey's machine is Burt's best best film and a really underrated crime drama. Loved the Zen aspect and the music was great.
It is awesome!! Best?? Well it’s up their but please tell me you’ve seen DELIVERANCE
Longest yard
Lots of Burt's narrative is word for word from his biography.
Really enjoyed that, well done again Gator, good call covering the brilliant Charles Durning and the great Dar Robinson too.
Many thanks! Cheers! Gator 🐊
Appreciate all your work putting together this great Burt content. It’s done well and always an entertaining watch. Burt was one of a kind, one of my favorite actors of all time.
Thanks so much! Burt was my childhood hero. This is a passion project for sure. Cheers! Gator 🐊
Love him and own 90% of his movies ( first appearance ANGEL BABY ) always wanted a third GATOR movie🍿 McKLUSKY
STILL 1 OF THE BEST MOVIES EVER!
Read the book and saw the movie as a young man when they were first released and loved them both. I just revisited both now as an older man and I can see some of the limitations with my older eyes but I still really enjoyed both. The movie script is surprisingly good for a writer who had modest credits and was an improvement on the book in many ways. The actors in this movie were all top shelf but it was Rachel Ward who stole every scene she was in by her incredible beauty! Not to take anything from her acting which is also quite good, but for me, and I guess Tommy Sharkey, Domino is the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.
Thanks for making this documentary.
Didn't know there was a book. Interesting.
Thanks so much for this very cool documentary!
I was 15 when this movie came out and it was a big step in my film appreciation education. Within the next decade I saw Rear Window and Laura was so excited to realize how well Burt had lovingly borrowed the central plot devices from those movies. I also think it was canny to cut from Victor on the elevator to Henry Silva about to make his first kills in order to establish a connection because almost all the back story on the brothers from the book was cut (which was a very good decision in my opinion). And I applaud not using the weird-ass amusement park giant pinball machine ending from the book (although that was based on the actual Sid and Marty Kroft amusement park in Atlanta in 1976). Every time I watch this movie, I have a greater appreciation for the wonderful soundtrack and how Burt limited the banter when needed to give the music and his big set pieces space to breath. I love montages and there's several good ones here, especially the extended police procedural jazz rif. It was a big shock to see Burt get his fingers chopped off, but then again I felt crestfallen when Jerry Reid got beat up by the bikers in Smokey and the Bandit. But them getting back up and getting their revenge actually taught me on an emotional level about perseverance. Charles Durning's voice going horse in one yelling scene cracks me up because its the natural progression of all those yelling police captain scenes from so many other movies. Finally, I was born and raised in Savannah, so it was gratifying to see our state look cool in movies.
Gator, your videos are SO APPRECIATED by all of us who love Burt and will never forget him!
Thanks for sharing this, I first watched this when it came out i was 21yrs old . loved the film and went saw it again. RIP Burt.
My favorite Burt Reynolds film. I watch it at least once a year.
Absolutely Burts best film ever! Wonderful casting! Lovely settings, music, and gives a great feeling. See it at least once a year. Wish I could have told him this. Love Burt. May he make more movies in heaven❤️
I saw this movie when I was a kid. It's one of my favorite gritty Burt Reynolds films. I didn't see Paternity until I was an adult and it was hilarious. I think it's a little overlooked. I think both films are overlooked. It had so many actors that I really enjoyed.
You have over 13000 hits on this puppy. Excellent. This is a fantastic documentary short. And this is my favorite movie ...I think of all time.
Thanks so much! Really appreciate that. Cheers! Gator 🐊
My Dad and I went to see this film, he loved this film.
This movie should have been given two sequels, why it never happened is unbelievable.
Well the main reason (in fact mabey the ONLY reason) was because Burt Reynolds was seriously injured a few years later which ended his career (and nearly his life) for a long while. When he recovered he wasn't a lead actor any longer (he wasn't even offered motion pictures any longer) but was more or less a tv performer (though movie roles did later come his way again-Boogie Nights)
This sounds like a good movie I've never seen it but maybe I'll get a DVD of it one day❤❤❤ rip Burt Reynolds
Burt, Sharkey's Machine was one of the best movies I've ever seen in my life. I loved it so much I used some of the scenes in my own movie.
Great video. This is one of my favorite movies.
Is that blooper reel available anywhere?
Guess this came up in my feed because I just purchased it on RUclips. One of my favorite movies. "Nobody leans on Sharky's Machine" 👍
This is one of my all time favorite movies. I was so young. It brings back so many memories.
This movie is amazing !! I own this on dvd and I just love it !! Everyone is great .
Love this movie. I just watched it again last night.
Saw Sharky's Machine 40 years ago in the movies and loved it. Thanks for this fascinating documentary about one of the best flicks in American cinema.
Burt was paid 14million dollars for this movie, and well worth it.
Awesome! Thanks for your hard work!
Thanks for taking the time to write. Much appreciated. Cheers! Gator 🐊
Soooo underrated!
One of Burt's best films, love watching it, could have become a series or trilogy....gg, Tampa Florida
This was great. A top 10 all time movie for me.
Yeah its fantastic! Cheers! Gator
My buddies and I decided to go see a movie and I saw a review of the film and said lets see this and didn't regret it . Good cast , story and action . This was on the top list of Reynolds films music was good also .
You know I never thought about it but Reynolds assembled his own version of Barney Miller's squad but on the serious side.
Just discovered your channel and loving it. Burt Reynolds had all the qualities that sadly hardly anyone now has and that's what I miss in many modern movies. I liked his comedies but his action roles were really something special. As a side note how many people could ever surpass Henry Silver in these type of roles.
Great Gator as always!
Thanks Nico! Cheers!
This was a huge deal in Atlanta when it was being filmed. I worked at the Omni and Omni International after the films release and routinely had to go down in around the Gulch. I always loved it at the time and always thought about the movie. I can’t remember the name of the reporter, 11 Alive I believe, who was cast as an APD Officer that jumped on the bus and asked Sharky if the bad guy was dead. I still remember him showing that bit during his broadcast.
Nice work. One correction, though. Should be Vittorio Gassman.
Love this film. I decided to watch this at my local library while I was out...unfortunately due to stupid and pathetic British censorship, (I am in Wales)...the library blocked this documentary for sensitive content...at least I can watch it at home. My favourite Burt movie!!
Gator, this was one of Burt's best movies to me, best cast and movie was edited just fine . The end of 1981 was perfect for this movie to come out.
Mr McCluskey these are awesome 😎
Burt make Awesome..... easy.... Cheers! Gator 🐊
RIP Dar Robinson.
This is fantastic loved burt movies
This was one of the furst Dvds i ever bought. Good movie
Great documentary. Well done. Considering how many times Dar Robinson went out that window I would lhave liked to have known, why Burt used an obvious dummy in the final version of the film 🤔
Probably didn’t seem like high enough a fall when it came to it.
All time favorite
Two minutes! 2 Minutes!!!
Damn. That was real good.
The one person that had it all,,,or just with all the others before him,,,RIP Burt one of the latest
This was Burt’s best movie and frankly his best look. He should have stayed with that hair. He could have become a serious director.
Had same look in STICK and of course DELIVERANCE anywhere. everywhere. nowhere.
Agreed… City Heat should have been Sharky and Dirty Harry. Same studio too. Cheers! Gator 🐊
@@GATORMcKLUSKYreviews brother, still waiting for documentaries on Malone, and Heat.
Great documentary ❤
My favorite Charles Durning was. Sisters and Dark night of the Scarecrow (made for TV movie)
I remember seeing at the Coliseum theatre in Seattle 1981. Have always LOVED this movie! Wish it had been released at some point in widescreen. Always dreamed of a Criterion release!
If you are a fan of Charlie Durning's then you must look for his episode of NCIS as a M.O.H. winner who comes to Gibbs thinking he was guilty of a crime. I won't give it away but it brings me to tears every time and my sinuses are a mess for the rest of the day.
Sharkey's Machine is a serious crime film done on comic book level. You can actually see the word blocks above Sharkey's head!
Good doc : )
A grown man film 🔥 slightly gave me a scarface vibe towards the ending! Last 20 minutes 🔥
My favorite Burt movie by far and I was already in Love w/Rachael Ward when I saw this. Plus, I always wonder, and w/No disrespect for Jackie Gleason but what would 'Smokie' have been like if Charlie Durning played the Sheriff.
Sharkey's machine was in my book a superb movie with a bunch of fine actor's such as burt Reynold's and Rachel ward who played the murdered girls twin sister who got shot..... Sharkey's machine gets my vote
I've always loved this movie. Unfortunately, I also think it was the last really good movie Reynolds ever starred in.
I thought his natural hair in this film as well as in Deliverance and Hustle looked better.
Absofckinlutey Awesomness!!! 👊💯❤️🔥🎶
After some thought, I am starting to think that Burt Reynolds has been in at least two movies that at some point or that I understand now that he may like using or even saying The word Machine, I mean You have the title Sharkey's " Machine", as well in the movie The Longest Yard the football team made up of inmates were called The mean "Machine"
Charlie was also with Burt in Stick!
Burt should have kept that look from Sharky’s instead the ever bigger hairpieces. He was at his best in Sharky’s.
Recommend STICK-SHARK & of course.....DELIVERANCE for kick ass short hair Burtie
His worst toupee was in Malone 😂
I want to see a Biopic starring Pedro pascal.
I had forgotten about the great "Street Life" scene in Tarantino's "Foxy Brown." It was also used to great effect in an episode of "Better Call Saul." A stranger shout-out to the song comes in an episode of "The Venture Brothers" that concerns' the mystery of why snippets of "Street Life" are suddenly being heard on a space station that decades before had its crew killed when the cargo hold was vented to space during a showing of "Sharky's Machine." ruclips.net/video/mqfnlplsYNY/видео.html
...you can run away from time
...for a nickel or a dime
...but you better not get old
...or you’re gonna feel the cold
15:32 She's the type to watch a skin flick and complain about there being too much nudity and not enough dialogue. 🎭
i always felt burt looked perfect with the shorter hair in sharkys. should have stuck with it.
So is Sharky’s machine a Christmas movie…..
The first scene of the movie seems to have been filmed during a cold spell, but later on the trees seem to have more green on them than you would expect in December and I just watched the movie and didn't see any Christmas decorations, signs or clothes. But the weather can be kooky in GA, so who knows?
I’ll take $50.00 Too late, you already insulted me What you drinkin?! Is that regular or ethyl?? Best not to interrupt me NICK!! And..... I want a 21 point spread
Great movie. Great cast.
Burt Reynolds👍
My favorite Burt movie by far and I was already in Love w/Rachael Ward when I saw this. Plus, I always wonder, and w/No disrespect for Jackie Gleason but what would 'Smokie' have been like if Charlie Durning played the Sheriff.
