It's bad enough that the kid watched a policeman get his throat cut open, but to have to crawl on the floor of a Philadelphia train station men's room on top of it? Poor kid.

There's something very comforting in how Detective Zenovich gives a friendly smile to Samuel when he enters. Very tragic that he's brutally murdered a few moments later by McFee and Fergie. At least he was avenged by Book in the end. A small but vital role performance by Timothy Carhart that was simple, but pleasant in that kind smile to the innocent kid.
I like how book originally planned to avenge him and carter through violence but backed down from giving Schafer a well deserved beat down because by that point he respected the Amish too much to insult them with another act of violence after they just saved his life so he decided to let the law decide schafers fate
you are right. Amazing and impressive the scene in the police station. Unbeliavle the atmosphere that peter weir creates. When the boy discovers the photo of assasins in the store window,and harrison ford in the distance realizes that something goes badly. A link beetwen the police and boy only across the look and the silences. Thats lins continuing until the end of movie. Brilliant. The best scene for me.
In the movie, it is not known or told why McFee and Fergie both kill Detective Zenovitch....but in the script, its actually known why - because Zenovitch refused to join the bad guys and he was investigating the corruption of Schaffer,. and so he paid with his life.....Death also came for John Book's partner, Detective Elton Carter, but they do not show that scene in the movie
@@Archmetal06 Thats a good point there, the napping man would've definitly woke up to the man's screams and the lady with the book would have noticed them 2 walking out, and Rachel's mother would have also seen, but surprisingly, neither those 2 were questioned, only Rachel and Samuel were
I love the part later where Samuel points to Harrison Ford's partner (the black guy) and says, "Like him, only not so 'stumpig' " or something like that. Apparently 'stumpig' means "runty" or "little." Harrison Ford stands up and says, "Oh, he's a big guy, like me?" And Samuel grins and repeats, "Big guy!"
A truly epic and terrifying scene especially when watching it as a kid. Side note, the custodian at 4:56 is played by Robert Earl Jones, the father of James Earl Jones.
That kid reminds me of Kevin McCallaster in Home Alone movies, where a kid won a war against criminals. And yeah whoever used a knife should have realized it would have caused him to only live few more days before being killed.
Trust me, that bathroom scene inside a movie studio was a thousand percent better than if they actually filmed it in the restroom at 30th Street Station. Forget Fergie and McFee. The stench would kill you. The bathroom door at one time was exactly where they filmed it.
His mother couldn't take him into the men's restroom, I mean, come on here, he was old enough to go to the mens restroom himself, yet he had to witness this murder which alone was pretty terrifying for a little kid, however, still, he had to use the restroom, and he is big enough to do all of that himself.
does anyone have the handgun scene. When Book finds samual touching the gun? I feel this is the great scene in the movie. Total missunderstanding what the gun is. i love it
Is it just me or do a ton of 80s films have a scene in which one random character is seen splashing water in their face over the sink in a public bathroom?
LightLife4 yes he was an under cover cop investigating corruption and Danny Glover’s character McFee is a corrupt narcotics officer and was about to be investigated but the detective was killed before could turn Danny Glover’s character McFee and his partners in including Books friend and boss Schaffer who is corrupt and protecting McFee.
McFee (Danny Glover) had carried out a drug raid in which huge amounts of a substance called P2P were recovered. P2P is an ingredient in the making of methamphetamine. The P2P mysteriously vanished from the police evidence room before the trial and the undercover cop was investigating the theft of it. McFee had pawned the P2P to drug dealers and had the undercover cop killed to cover his tracks.
And both man who murdered someone lost their life in few days! Also this movie was taken before Bridgewater's Pub in that train station, which had 4 ceiling fans. It permanently closed and I now have all ceiling fans that were in Bridgewater's Pub.
Anybody notice the moment the blood spurts out of the guy's neck after being killed that they don't actually show the neck wound itself? And, this is in an R rated movie, no less. They showed the knife slicing the man's neck open, but they didn't show the actual wound itself when the blood spurts out of it...or any other time thereafter in this scene. Not that I wanted to see the neck wound after it was sliced open since I'm not much of a fan of blood and gore. But, I'm just surprised they didn't show it, considering how violent this movie is and the R rating it got from it.
+David Colantuono weir did the same in dead poet society when neil killed himself. you see the gun, you see his hand, you see them run to the dead body. but you see no blood, no vision of the dead body. just leaves everything to our minds and imagination. i like films with that kind of creativity. weir is a very good director
Of all the places they could have murdered him, they chose a public restroom at Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station…how did they even know he would be in there? And wouldn’t they notice Samuel walk in beforehand?
@@kawhileopard2174 The use of a silencer in a murder like this is very seldom. Much easier to just stab or slit their throat. They'll die fairly quick and with much less noise.

Timothy Carhart I always think of him almost assaulting Gena Davis and Susan Sarandon killing him in my favorite film Thelma and Louise here he gets killed by Danny Glover the asshole from The Color Purple
Same. Because realistically, slashing someone's throat whose resisting and putting up a huge struggle won't be easy. Movies nowadays always portray slashing someone throat as a easy slice
Little Lucas Haas did a great job in this scene, I don't think I was ever so scared for a child's safety in my life.

he had no idea it was his last moments alive which is probably the most haunting part
And this was years before Timothy Carhart played the corrupt Elllis DeWald in Beverly Hills Cop 3.
oh christ. that's the same bathroom i always use whenever i get of the septa train at 30th street.
Last time it was cleaned was for this scene
lol... has it changed since 1984...
@@sanctuaryism Yes it has. The bathroom scene we see here was actually not filmed at the station. Also the boy walked through an exit. You can tell.
That's not the interior of the restroom. It's actually more unsanitary that the one shown in the film

I remember seeing this scene at the cinema and having major anxiety for the little boy . It was really well done.
danny glover was so underrated in this movie
Scary guy ...
I was 7 when I first watched this and Danny Glover scared the crap out of me🤣 great performance!
Back then he played more bad guy characters like in this and The Color Purple.
I love how danny glover's character's are mostly always OCD. even back in his earlier roles.
In the movie, it is not known or told why McFee and Fergie both kill Detective Zenovitch....but in the script, its actually known why - because Zenovitch refused to join the bad guys and he was investigating the corruption of Schaffer,. and so he paid with his life.....Death also came for John Book's partner, Detective Elton Carter, but they do not show that scene in the movie

Well, pretty self explanatory when the dude grabbed his notes and badge
Hold tight.... calmness personified.

Looked familiar...
Thanks for uploading this scene!
I'm studying this film in English at the moment...and this has helped alot
“Washin my hands, man.” “Hold tight” 🤦🏾♂️

Great movie indeed! One of the best i ever seen!

That scene you're referring to is the greatest scene for me as well.
2 different style switchblades used. Rizzuto swinguard when he switched out the blade.. then a pick lock with dagger blade when he cut his throat.
Keen attention to detail, I appreciate you sir
@@erectilereptile7383 me too!
Rarely see Roger Murtaugh play a bad guy
He was a bad character in The Color Purple
also in Shooter
For punishment, he was assigned to be Riggs' partner.
He was also a villain in The Color Purple, Switchback, Shooter, and Proud Mary.
Trust me, that bathroom scene inside a movie studio was a thousand percent better than if they actually filmed it in the restroom at 30th Street Station. Forget Fergie and McFee. The stench would kill you. The bathroom door at one time was exactly where they filmed it.
Imagine letting a kid that age go to a giant train station rest room like that one by himself? Not my kid.

That Amish-kid appears to be very oblivious to the obviously dangerous situation he finds himself in
Disagree. He was smart enough to switch stalls to avoid being found and likely killed by the corrupt cops.

i bet all of us are here for our english work
The kid made a smart move there.
But honestly if I was checking the stalls, Id leave the doors open
But then it would be a whole different movie
TF you doing, Man?

If i didn't know Zenovich was investigating them i would've thought it was because he witnessed to much illegal activity and wouldn't get involved.

That cop had no self awareness was too worried about washing his damn face
Lethal weapon was a good thing for Danny Glover because this role and Color purple had him type cast as an asshole lol 😂
just occurred to me that glover and gibson both worked with peter weir.
Kelly went on to do top gun
Glover went on to do lethal weapon 😂
It was sad the police officer smiled at him saying hi.
