      @@TheWaynos73 It's a very layered scene, though. The older detective and Frank are sides of the same coin. They've got this boiling rage to them. Frank's a bit full of himself when he does that monologue, in that he calls himself a businessman, even though he's brutally killing and destroying lives. The older detective has been playing it by the book, isn't foolish enough to think he'll end illegal drugs, but when Frank humiliates him in his own home and rubs it in, the detective snaps. His shooting through the handcuff chain speaks more bluntly about his intentions than anything Frank said. Frank crossed the final line.

    I remember when it came out (1990) and yes, New Jack City was near the same time (1991). Living in NYC, all my other white friends all preferred NJC for some reason. I was heavily into hip-hop at the time and was a photographer, so of course I preferred the cinematic super stylishness of KoNY. And stylish it was. Its major flaw was its shallow script and dialogue apart from Fishburne, who really blazed across the screen with an amazing character that is criminally unknown today.
    The film's spiritual companion isn't Goodfellas or New Jack City, but "Deep Cover" starring Fishburne which arrived not long later (1992). Those two films were the best performances of his career.

    The difference between Ferrara and Scorsese is that the latter was brought up around actual gangsters, in the old, socially conservative environment that produced criminal gangs in a family setting. Ferarra, on the other hand, doesn't seem to base his characters in this great film on real life experiences. King of New York is a great film, and forms a nightmarish, almost mythic landscape that originally blends hip hop imagery with organised crime. Scorsese wouldn't make this film because it is a world made up from the director's imagination rather than one like GoodFellas, which despite its heavily stylised dircection, is more realistic.

    I saw it in the theater in Century City that was a few doors down from the former Playboy Club. Which was where they filmed Planet of The Apes, which is now that "talent" agency that they filmed Hancock at, in the scene where Will Smith and Charlize Theron were fighting on the street when Jason Bateman looked out the window of the building and saw Will and Charlize fighting. Movie was bananas from day one.

    Hello. I have a great story about this, i'll try to keep it short. larry/laurence fishburne.... when i was a kid, i'd hear people referring to acting as a "craft". i didn't get it. craft? go make a birdhouse... when i watched this film for the first time, i thought they had actually hired real gang members, but fishburne looked a little familiar. maybe 2 or 3 months later, i re-watched "red heat", starring ah-nuld & jim belushi. muthafucka, fishburne as a tight-ass, by-the-book, lieutenant charlie stobbs. i knew i'd seen him somewhere before! that was the moment i understood what they meant when they said "craft". i was 14.

    Spoken from a 43 y/o Black........For anyone to think Quentin Tarantino is "racist", your absolutely wrong. He like, lots of White Americans just love Black people and black culture to the point, they dont like being white. And us Black folks love all back!
    List to his excitement talking about the movie.

    Where Laurence differs from Denzel Washington or Forrest Whittaker is that he sheds everything from role to role. None of his characters have similar quirks or verbal inflections to one another. He’s truly a chameleon being a different person each time.

    Chris Walken and Larry Fishburne killed that shit in this film! David Caruso was also exceptional.
    As a Mob historian and huge fan and a student of the gangster film genre, I'm comfortable with saying that The King Of New York is one the best films in the gangster genre! A fuckin' classic!
    Chris Walken as Frank White was on par with Cagney, Pacino, and Deniro!
    I also agree with Tarantino regarding Larry Fishburne introducing the G-style B-Boy to the gangster cinema genre. He was mad ILL and insane on this shit! Straight-up intimidating and believable! An extraordinary performance!
    Overall I would say that this was a perfect gangster film. The casting, direction, storyline, and acting are top-notch!

    A few years back I walked into a newsagent to browse magazines.
    There was a copy of Empire. Top 100 gangsters movies of all time. I didn’t look. I brought it knowing and in the hope that King of New York would be in the top 5. Got home and checked the stats. No.2.
    I was like hell yes because everyone goes for scar face which of coarse was No.1.
    I’m from Australia and watched it when it came out on VHS here.
    I’ve watched it more than enough times since.
    I always like to think thank Frank and Jim grew up together as kids best friends in the Bronx.
