Best scene in the film and at the heart of what Local Hero is all about. Bill Forsyth gently pokes fun at the corporate world, the ecological message is strong throughout.
see this moment in the movie ,i take that everywhere in my life ,it what ben says about the sand ,richness is in your heart not your pocket ,a good friend of mine said once " Rachid watch local hero its ur type of thing " he was right its my life lesson in this scene ,NEVER SELL OUT ,love from this grateful Scotsman
The great Fulton Mackay. He was also extremely modest. Porridge wouldn't have been as good have been without him, yet he said he was just acting while others like Ronnie Barker and Richard Beckinsale were being funny.
One of the reasons this movie makes me laugh over the fact that we still have people who value life and tradition. No amount of money will change their way no matter how much. ❤
Mac sure took a risk offering the hat full of sand. Of course Ben knew that to accept an offer like that would be to take advantage and that would be wrong.
Fulton Mackay Scottish legend... The beauty and humanity of this movie is that the 'local hero' is whoever you want it to be. Absolutely magical.

strong but not preachy, like it would be nowadays.
I think this is the most beautiful scene in any movie, ever.
"I only need the one, I have this here, I don't need another one" Wow, that is very zen, very profound. Very powerful scene.
Yeah, I felt the same about St Andrews West Sands. Not that anyone will ever get to buy that.
Yes was nice as we say. Don't go overboard so much. It's easy to read too much into what you see.
One of my favourite scenes from my favourite film of all time.
What a lovely scene, paced just right. Good old Fulton Mackay.
Acting
@@marcos7106 That would be nae business like.

such a memorable scene. Saw it 20 yrs ago. It sure stays with you. Great movie!
"You took advantage of me"..."did I?" Brilliant.....

Fulton McKay: genius!...we miss you old fella'.
C'mon, Mac, haggle....
That is a great way to say that numbers are deceiving.

Pure magic
Get you 5 or 6 miles of beach in Hawaii, that made me smile. Dig at Americans? No surely, can read anything into that.
Get it right. It’s a handful of sand.
They could have said for every star you can see in the night sky and it would have been about the same.
I think its forgotten how important the supporting cast are, would Porridge have been as good without Fulton??
great film..
fulton mackay!!! if u thought that he was best in 'porridge' then watch this and think again ! .......i wonder when he died??? R I P
Fulton was ex-Black Watch. He died June 1984 aged 64 years.
He died 6th of June 1987 from stomach cancer
Like George Galloway, sounds like an Englishman doing an impression of Scots
