still cant figure out his backstory. how did a texan-like old man end up working as a criminal fixer for a bunch of professional thieves in Los Angeles?
He's based on Edward Bunker, an ex-bank robber. He was Mr. Blue in Reservoir Dogs. Funny, he was in The Long Riders and got killed during a bank robbery in that too.

He was. He was a good employee, but also laidback and funny. He had that knowledgeable attitude, so it reinforced the thought that he was a grown man of experience or a dad
>Only reason they interact is because boomers would die if Niro and Pacino didn't interact in the movie.
The people their characters are based on met like in real life under similar circumstances
search it, you'll find plenty of info. Neil McCauley was a real criminal who was being investigated, and the real-life equivalent of Pacino's character ran into him on the street, they had coffee, had a similar convo to what happened in the movie, and eventually McCauley was gunned down
But he was making a move
'twas a diffrent time
It's a free country, brother.

oh, im vaguely familiar with eddy bunker and see the resemblance now.
I sometimes say this to myself in his voice for no reason. It struck a chord I guess.
Actually he's a figment of De Niro's imagination.
why did he do it?
For me the action is the juice
>the juice
you can tell, he's a move maker
What are you trying to do with this thread, anon? You makin' a move?
Yeah, I know the type. Typical move maker.
Hey, stop talking, okay slick?
Why was Miami Vice so soulless?
Because it's "cool" with nothing to back it up.
The tv show has a lot of quips but it could also get serious with the acting and levity. All Michael Mann kino is tonally serious

You should get some furniture.
By the time I get to Phoenix, he'll be rising
He'll probably leave a note, by the dooooor
Sometimes you just have to get it on even if you have no reason to do so.
The sound in that bank heist scene is great.
It was recorded on location at the time of filming rather than being added later. That's why it sounds so good.
cope
guard was making a move and you know it, OP
Then what was their problem with you? Did they really hate pie?
OH N-
I had a coworker who looked exactly like this at age 23. Dude felt crushed i asked why he was 40 and working there
Poor guy, I hope he was confident

BANG BANG BANG
Great quote
>she's got a GREAT ASS!
He was right you know.

god damn
I'm Donald Duck
Man I wanna be in the world of Heat and never leave.
Never again.
Watching the movie now, why does the main cop pull such weird faces? and why does he talk to the main criminal in the diner?
he had a coke habit and he's just an eccentric guy to begin with
Always been a lackluster actor, but great presence, if that makes sense. So he has to compensate.
Only reason they interact is because boomers would die if Niro and Pacino didn't interact in the movie.

should I stop giving a frick and grow out my hair like him when I'm balding?
you wish, cowboy
you don't choose the skullet, the skullet chooses you
I kinda feel the skullet calling, though
yes
He was making a move, he had to get it on
take the gropill:
1. grow a chad embrace
2. become a cowboy
3. search for heavy objects
4. offer your friends pie
5. have sex with Black hookers
>Read about Tom Sizemore's pedophilia on set in 2003 on a later movie
>Realize this child was in danger in the movie and IRL
I think I read about that, was the girl like 16 or was it a lot worse
Ohno
did you play it?
One of my favorite movies. I wish there was a prequel about Neil's early life, how he got into crime and his first scores.
