The fact that Bob Hoskins didn’t win the Oscar that year and that Jeff Goldblum wasn’t even nominated for his performance in “The Fly” shows that you should never take the Best Actor award seriously.
No. It shouldn't. Bob should've won but they had to give it to Newman, for fucking up and not giving him one in 1961. Plus, Pacino not winning for godfather 2 cements this award not be taken seriously.
@@MGdVIII Newman also didn’t win for Cool Hand Luke. Cool Hand Luke, The Hustler and The Verdict should have gotten him an Academy Award, but they gave it too him a year he shouldn’t have won, which unfortunately is pretty par for the course these days.
He dosen't say 'bugger' after he hits her, he says 'Punter'. I love this movie, its incredibly dark but beautifully done and the performances by Tyson, Caine and Hoskins are fantastic.
hoskins. what a fucking actor. the bit about "you know how things are between men an' fackin' wimmin...' and the look he gives cathy tyson when she points the gun at him. pure power. this and Long Good Friday will live forever! so sad to hear that he's ill - wishing you all the best bob...
Quality film's stood the test of time. Great characters including good ole Robbie Coltrane of course, but RIP Bob. Superb in this brilliant, dark flick.
Watching this movie or in this case scene I can honestly say when you love or care for somebody you can’t see the mind games they are playing with you. I’ve always said fake lovers are the best actors. My first love did something similar. She and her HighSchool sweetheart had broke up after 7 years. He was done with her but she wasn’t over him but she used me to get back at him. In other words she felt he would get jealous if he saw us together. We would pass him sometimes on the street in our cars and every single time she would start dancing to get his attention. I didn’t know it then but she was still in love with him. When she finally realized he wasn’t coming back she started taking it out on me and doing all kinds of things to send me on my way and eventually I did after 3 years. I really loved her and it was hard to breakaway from her which is why the relationship went on longer than it should have.
I hope you watched the whole film.I don't think the looks of the male lead or awesomeness of the female character matter in this case, it is simply about her leading him on, using him and then ultimately hurting him when he is not needed anymore.
@Jake Green It was nominated and Bob had won several awards, so the film wasn't being nominated, it was his performance, which transcends the material. It's a lot more nuanced than simply this or that. The Academy gave it to Newman as a sympathy vote. The Academy, then as now, is full of old crusties hanging on for dear life. The fact that Bob didn't win shows the limited and PG rated tastes of people not keeping up with the times, but have immense voting power.
How Bob Hoskins didn't get the Oscar for this role is one of the great injustices of Oscar-history. That Paul Newman won was mere compensation for being snubbed for The Hustler and The Verdict earlier.
I remember this gem from the 80s . Bob Hoskins was heralded as a genius for this performance yet we have to give kudos to the old pro Michael Caine for playing one of the most vile characters he ever played .
Because Americans have trouble with any accents from the U.K. that aren't the sort that Cathy Tyson uses here. American distributors wanted to dub over Hoskins' voice for either this film or "The Long Good Friday." They worried that Americans would have trouble with his accent. And it would affect the box office take. The Australian actors in "Mad Max" (a.k.a The Road Warrior in the U.S.) were dubbed over by American actors because U.S. audiences would have found it hard to understand broad Aussie accents. That was around 1980 or so.
But there's a bit missing at the end where George's daughter shows up and they go somewhere together. That's the happy ending, the love that George finds in his repaired relationship with his daughter. "The Crying Game" ends with a similar type of situation, with the main character Fergus telling a story (about himself and his situation) just like George. There's a similar shooting by Dil, the "tall, thin, black woman" just like the shooting in this film. Only it's Fergus who goes to prison. There isn't exactly a happy ending, but in C.G. we see that there is a kind of love that is acknowledged by Dil and Fergus (even though he's not gay and had rejected Dil when he found out that "she" is a "he."

Would she have shot him? Why does she say, 'What, hurt you too?' I just watched this on Film4 and the final monologue (speaking to Robbie Coltrane) was totally different.
@@thebrazilianatlantis165 I think that is exactly the point: at this moment, when she turns the gun on him, they know exactly where they stand with each other.
@@stephenhogg6154 That's an interesting interpretation, but it's a realistic film and both actors have been communicating elevated emotion, and elevated emotion makes people unsure what's going on. Pointing a gun at him isn't just possibly shooting him (which I really don't think he would make her feel she "needed" to or she thinks he would), it's telling him to back off about whatever he might do next, he can fight and he briefly got physical with her earlier in the movie: he might get physical with her again just out of frustration with her morals again, and she has zero interest in his shit however much she has fucked up. "What, hurt you too" on a straightforward level means be serious, I'm not going to kill you, and it's ironic, she sure was willing to hurt him.
She only used him to get to her lover. She didn't care about him at all and he found out during this scene, which is why he cried and hit her. She pulls the gun on him twice regardless of what she said. She knew that he loved her and used that to keep him around until this very scene. She showed some remorse at the end but it was too late. This is a story about manipulation. Many things that she said turned out to be lies.
That leaping head butt is one of the greatest street fight moves in the history of film.

@@Jared_Wignall You forgot Hud. The more I think about it, in a career full of spectacular performances, that might be his very best performance.
Bob Hoskins was superb, what a loss.
rest in peace, bob. you were never better than in these early 80's britmovies. and still you made it in Hollywood. a class act. talent will out.
Terrific movie. Dark and Disturbing.
He dosen't say 'bugger' after he hits her, he says 'Punter'. I love this movie, its incredibly dark but beautifully done and the performances by Tyson, Caine and Hoskins are fantastic.
One hell of a movie. What an actor Bob Hoskins was! RIP Bob. Thanks, YT and Jimmy Gatz.
The best flying headbutt on film!
The young girl is Kate Hardy now aged 51, she is Bill Oddie's daughter..
This film was just the best!
Superb cast fantastic acting
One person doesn't have a heart or appreciation for great filmmaking.
@6.10 a heartbroken man.... Fuck Roger Rabbit! Bob Hoskins should be remembered for for more than that! RIP Bob!
I think he is.
hoskins. what a fucking actor. the bit about "you know how things are between men an' fackin' wimmin...' and the look he gives cathy tyson when she points the gun at him. pure power. this and Long Good Friday will live forever!

One of the great Brit films of the 80s.
He says 'another punter' not 'another bugger', trust me I'm from East London.Love this film its so dark, great performances and very beautiful
True, just realised that & the word makes perfect sense tbf

Yeah, Cathy Tyson/Simone ftw. Shame she used him, but dread to think what happened after doing her Pimp/S in.😮. All the Women acted well tbf
Impressive how He felt manipulated and traumatized for risking his life...good god,The academy awards are a joke !
Yes, 'Color of Money' won that year.

If you haven't risked your life for a pretty woman you haven't lived.

She so reminds me of Dil from The Crying Game. Same director, I know.
4:18 despite Jack Purvis attacking Kenny Baker on-screen, those two were best friends in real life before they both sadly died
I remember this gem from the 80s . Bob Hoskins was heralded as a genius for this performance yet we have to give kudos to the old pro Michael Caine for playing one of the most vile characters he ever played .
Love this film Bob Hoskins was a fantastic actor
That part where he snatches the gun out of hands. Lighting fast!
RIP Bob
Will you stop with the RIP's?
Michael Caine is menacing in this
Brilliant actor
another great loss x
I fucking love this movie.
What ever happened to Cathy Tyson?
bob at his best.
I nevrr believed George would have fell in love with her. He was too street wise.
Amazing film ❤ 0:22
The subtitles are a bit off in this clip. He says "...just another punter..." (customer), not "bugger" and "soppy sod" not "sort".
Epic
Felt a bit bad for Mortwell. George was his only friend.
I think this should have a spoiler alert in the description.
Great movie. Not sure why it has English subtitles as the film is British but it's a great scene regardless.
I think it's because, if like me you have a crappy laptop and no external speakers, the volume is very low.
Because Americans have trouble with any accents from the U.K. that aren't the sort that Cathy Tyson uses here.

Y'all doing people dirty by calling this an excerpt when it's literally the end of the film... 💀

Bob Hoskins RIP ~
Knock off the RIP's.
R.I.P. Bob Hoskins (1942-2014)
I feel so angry that I refuse to watch anymore of this. It feels like nothing of what love is to me is represented here.
