There's no such thing as a racist mafioso. There's social classes and color classes and everyone lives by those classes and those codes. White with white black with black hispanics with hispanics. They do it in the jail in prison system too because it cuts down on internal beefs when theres no mix and match going on you can consort with whoever but you eat with your own.

It’s the “little things” that count. Even something as simple as having your date unlock a car door for you can say a lot about a person on whether or not that person is worth being with. That’s the whole point to the door test. Thanks Sonny.
No you can’t because people lie to impress others I was in a relationship I kept forcing because I acted like a dweeb with her and faked it till I made it we were engaged and I realized I was living a lie

I really love that in that time period Sonny doesn't give a crap that Jane is black. Ironically he instructs C to concentrate on her character ala the "door test ". Just brilliant ☺
I like that they gave him that, because C's dad, the should be role model, pretty much tells him he shouldn't date outside his race. Give the audience a foot in both camps
I've used this test since I was a teenager after I first saw this movie. I didn't always abide by the result though. 20 years later, hindsight has shown me that the door test is a very solid indicator of a woman's character. Use and take heed of the door test fellas. Failure is definitely a red flag. Of course, it may be that it's becoming obsolete with modern vehicles. Been with my wife for 7 years so it's been awhile since I've needed to use it.
on modern vehicles you could ask her to hand you something while your driving.. i have not given it much thought but the door test should be modernized
@theprogram863 It's an old gangster movie now and I doubt any woman under 30 will have watched it unless it's with a boyfriend/husband. So you can still use it.
Bronx wisdom! The best! Sonny driving backwards was something my Dad did when we lived in the Bronx. The movie is so spot on to my childhood. In the summer everybody hung outside. Our house doors were unlocked and most times open. Nobody was concerned about theft, no one would be stupid enough to even try that in our neighborhood. Everyone was a character. A sea of personalities. I’m third generation Bronx and I’m proud of it.
In case anyone wanted to know, the door test is old school New York City Italian American test for women. It may not work now a days but I'm 44 and in 1999 at 24, I bought a Kia Sephia with no door locks. 1 girl passed this test in 4 years. That woman became my wife. Till this day, she still passes the door test 15 years later because I purposely open to for just for her. Thank you Sonny and to the old school Italian Americans I grew up with.
Modern day version of this: I gave my now current girlfriend the keys to my truck so she could keep the A/C while she waits for me. I went inside a convenience store to pay for gas. I locked my truck just out of habit. I finish paying for gas, go outside and as I am approaching my truck she reaches over to unlock my door, truck alarm goes off and startles her a bit, and I reach over and use the key fob to disengage the alarm. Still together 2 years later and best relationship I ever had so far. We are in fact looking forward to a future together.
J COB so the test is to lock the door and see if she’ll open the door for you when you get back? I want to try it but I want to be sure I’m getting it right lol
He's telling him to dump her fast because a partner who doesn't quickly spare a thought to be courteous and conscious about their first date is likely to be self serving.
🤣🤣🤣Love how the protagonist has to repeat "Dumpah?" to least three times, cause it's like a totally alien concept to just straight give up pun*ni at that age. Brain was stuck in a loop because of the logic error.
@@robinsarchiz his self censorship is his lie. self censorship is what you do as a trick to force everybody else to say what you wanted to say but you get the advantage of being able to point out "i never said THAT.". newspapers do this. F**K OFF as a headline isn't tricky. even a child reads it properly. it's a faux safety net for wimps without strength. anybody who pretends they aren't saying something when they're actually saying it, is just hiding behind a facade and acting like they're smart and got around the trick. this is exactly what the arguments are about when white people say "nigger" whether is "with an A" or "Hard R", either way, it's a lie and forces everybody else to reconfigure that lie to make it make sense. it's not our problem when people do this, it's theirs. when they slip up and that facade fades away, they won't be able to prove it was an honest and meaningless phrasing. this guy wants to avoid saying pussy, vagina, cunt, trap, box, snatch, growler.... you get what i'm saying, and he uses a less vivid word and censored a single letter. it's his lie to himself to pretend he's wholesome and not a straight up dirty minded scoundrel. people like me don't have that fear. i get to say what i want because what i want to say is fair and makes sense. anybody who doesn't like what i say can't give a better reason than "you shouldn't say it." and "i don't like it."... or my favourite "think of the kids" and that last one is hilarious. every child i know who i let say words they can't say otherwise, don't use them anyway.... why? because it's not something they just want to do, it's useful to use those words and censorship removes sincerity. not everybody can feel open enough to be that honest. they need time to come to terms with their thoughts and understand what is the right time to say things. punani, or pussy, it's pointless being bothered by either of them being censored.... also, Punani means nothing else but a vagina. not a euphemism. a euphemism would be the ones i use like Snatch and Box. please don't say things unless you know what you're saying. thanks for playing. come back next year and maybe you'll win something then.
I don't think we can use old relationship test on modern day woman cuz cars do everything for you now hell the car probably treats you better anyways 😂😂

I don't use the "door test", but I do use the "check" test. When the check comes at the end of the meal, if she doesn't at least make a move to pay her part or the tip, then she's just using you for a free meal and drinks! Cut your losses and move on to the next one. That test hasn't failed me yet.
@@OiOi-Jim if they said yes, why would they think they have to pay???? As I said, they didn’t ask HIM out lmao it’s common sense. So whatever point you’re trying to make falls flat
So I’m all for Atleast paying the tip or offering but for the first date after YOU asked me out, especially depending how the date even goes why am I gonna pay my half? I can see the tip but that’s upsurd.
The greatest and most simple test you can use to decide your future. I did the test on my lexus to my now fiancee. I went around The back and she didn't reach but she hit the unlock button for the door. I always remember this test. Saw this movie for the first time in 1998. I was 18. Thanks Sonny for this great tip. God bless 👍
My father played this test on me many years ago when I was in my late teens -- I was living with my mother, they had split when I was very young. I had no idea what he was doing and knew nothing about this movie. He got out, opened the door for me, I got in then reached over to unlock the door for him... he nearly fell down with glee - lol. Evidently, I had passed the test. lol
How unbelievably crazy true this is... there have been only one one past the door test and she was a whole other level of woman. But she had to move for her work and that was history
I like how he just reveres to the bar, his home is close so he doesnt need to turn back the car. it takes probably less time to walk but he still takes his car. what a savage.
Bigplane 540 I worked with someone who used to get a taxi EVERYWHERE. She phoned for a taxi to take her 3-5 MINUTES (walk) up the road. The taxi drivers loved her lazy ass lol
Of all the times I’ve seen this moving I never gave any thought to him driving down 1 way streets in reverse lol....that’s subtle but it paints a chill picture
The best advice I received in my life in terms of relationships was from my boy's Nona: "it's not about the girl you love, it's about the girl that loves you"- I didn't understand it until I got older!
ITS THE WAVE TEST NOW , WHE YOU DROP THE BROAD OFF AT HER HOUSE WAIT TILL SHE GETS TO THE DOOR AND IF SHE DONT TURN BACK TO WAVE YOU OFF DUMP HER THERE AND THEN !!!!
My dad told me about this TEST years before this move was released. I had an old chevy truck so i had door locks to work with. Out of curiosity, i payed attention to all my dates. Nearly all failed. The vast majority of those were easy lays the first date. Never a second date with any of them. I married the second girl who ever opened my door lock. (The first had a traditional mother, but needed meds to act civilized) Been married 24 years now. I have my role, she has hers. We both understand respect for each other.
I don’t know about you but I think it means twice as much if she still opens the door. Even with the modern locks. I met a woman bout a month ago. I opened the door for her of course and closed it. And I walked to my drivers door. And she leaned over and opened it for me by the handle. No woman has ever done that for me! Things are going great so far too. She might be the one
There's all kinds of ways to do this test! I once went on a date with a girl, sat at the bar and got a glass of water. Went to the bathroom, come back, and my water is gone. She said, "Yeah, the bartender took it because he thought the seat was empty." She was so self-absorbed that she couldn't even open her mouth and tell the bartender that her date was sitting there and just gone to the restroom! She FAILED the test!
I was like 9 yrs old when i first watched this movie on the tv. I sat through the entire movie alone because it was that good , even for a kid with adhd like me
@@classified0713 Classic gentleman style Disarm you alarm walk over to the passenger side with the fine lady open her door for her when she's seated close her door .when you go over to your side she usually leans over and pull the lever or as we say in my city " she cracks the door" ie it's open but not fully ajar
Seriously though, when I first saw this scene on TV I hadn't even heard most of the conversation because I was so perplexed by why/how Sonny actually drove his car in reverse for 3 blocks X-D And then Calogero didn't even say anything about it, I'm like "WTF?"
I absolutely love this movie. My best had never seen it so I had him watch about a month ago and he loved it too! I almost know the whole movie verbatim 😂

The greatest and most simple test you can use to decide your future. I did the test on my lexus to my now fiancee. I went around The back and she didn't reach but she hit the unlock button for the door. I always remember this test. Saw this movie for the first time in 1998. I was 18. Thanks Sonny for this great tip. God bless 👍
"Mario? Mario's a fukin psycho" 😂😂 Sonny knew
The fact that sonny drove backwards all the way to the bar is what made this scene
R.I.P Sanuye Sanderson Love you miss you my love open the door without saying nothing. proud of her!
Dead or in jail.."
Sonny's right about that
This is one of life's great learning lessons.
I only drive in reverse now, changed my life. Thanks, Sonny
I like how Sonny casually drives in reverse the whole time
Great advice. It sounds crazy, but little things like that can tell you a lot. Every young man should have a "Sonny" in his life...
I saw this clip in my recommended and saw the full movie and wasn’t disappointed
Proud to say she did this for me a number of times !!!
My father played this test on me many years ago when I was in my late teens -- I was living with my mother, they had split when I was very young. I had no idea what he was doing and knew nothing about this movie. He got out, opened the door for me, I got in then reached over to unlock the door for him... he nearly fell down with glee - lol. Evidently, I had passed the test. lol
huh
Daddy issues alert
What's the meaning of this test?
@@cakepudding3220 will she do for you as you do for them, basic principle of reciprocation.
how long you been fucking since then? Is his name Joseph Fritzel by any chance?
😂 C thinking sonny,would even know,or give a fuck,what the MARIO test was! Lmao 😂
How unbelievably crazy true this is... there have been only one one past the door test and she was a whole other level of woman. But she had to move for her work and that was history
Nooooo💔
You missed out on one of the great ones...
How many great scenes can a movie have? "The door test." Ha. The writing here is spectacular. Chazz is perfect in this role.
I like how he just reveres to the bar, his home is close so he doesnt need to turn back the car. it takes probably less time to walk but he still takes his car. what a savage.
Bigplane 540 I worked with someone who used to get a taxi EVERYWHERE. She phoned for a taxi to take her 3-5 MINUTES (walk) up the road. The taxi drivers loved her lazy ass lol
I did the door test as a 23 year old with an old Chevy Caprice Classic. The door remained locked until a locksmith opened it 2 weeks later.
"Dump her fast." Hahhahahah he's right!!! Thanks Sonny! BT4LYFE!!
Of all the times I’ve seen this moving I never gave any thought to him driving down 1 way streets in reverse lol....that’s subtle but it paints a chill picture
The best advice I received in my life in terms of relationships was from my boy's Nona: "it's not about the girl you love, it's about the girl that loves you"- I didn't understand it until I got older!
Excellent film and characters. And great advice.
ITS THE WAVE TEST NOW , WHE YOU DROP THE BROAD OFF AT HER HOUSE WAIT TILL SHE GETS TO THE DOOR AND IF SHE DONT TURN BACK TO WAVE YOU OFF DUMP HER THERE AND THEN !!!!
@Dan Moyer You telling me she can't walk from the car to the door? But it's an extreme hassle to turn and wave goodbye...
My dad told me about this TEST years before this move was released. I had an old chevy truck so i had door locks to work with. Out of curiosity, i payed attention to all my dates. Nearly all failed. The vast majority of those were easy lays the first date. Never a second date with any of them.
I married the second girl who ever opened my door lock. (The first had a traditional mother, but needed meds to act civilized)
Been married 24 years now. I have my role, she has hers. We both understand respect for each other.
The door test, that’s what matters.
Sonny taught him some very valuable life lessons!! And the great part is that life can imitate art!! 💘 🚗
It worked on my first wife BUT she opened the door then took everything I owned!
This is a brilliant cue into the mindset of a women, is she observant, is she caring will she face discomfort to make way for your success.
"bullshit kid. the door test. thats what counts." that had me dying laughing
This worked back then, but those remote keys we have now just make us look goofy as hell trying to manually unlock the passenger side door
You can adapt this test to modern tech.
I don’t know about you but I think it means twice as much if she still opens the door. Even with the modern locks. I met a woman bout a month ago. I opened the door for her of course and closed it. And I walked to my drivers door. And she leaned over and opened it for me by the handle. No woman has ever done that for me! Things are going great so far too. She might be the one
Matthew Bevilaqua looks so young here.
I love sunnys method and style the test is one lesson for anyman to see it works well
There's all kinds of ways to do this test! I once went on a date with a girl, sat at the bar and got a glass of water. Went to the bathroom, come back, and my water is gone. She said, "Yeah, the bartender took it because he thought the seat was empty." She was so self-absorbed that she couldn't even open her mouth and tell the bartender that her date was sitting there and just gone to the restroom! She FAILED the test!
Dumpuh
next time this happens to anyone say "he was right" and just keep walking
@@barbados3592 classic!
or they’re socially anxious, not self-absorbed lmao
@@DistortedRz which is also someone you should be careful dating.
My girl passed this test.😁👍🏾
Now that keyless entry has made the Sonny test obsolete, the test is whether she pays the tab half the time or not.
Agreed. A selfish broad won't pay a dime.
I was like 9 yrs old when i first watched this movie on the tv. I sat through the entire movie alone because it was that good , even for a kid with adhd like me
I loved this FN movie. It opened my eyes to the different versions of reality in my own life.
Brilliantly said.
So awesome. This is biblical.
Watering camels.
This kid got his brokers exam..he went to pace college....he deserves some respect
Sonny is such a good man
Brilliant wisdom - experience counts
Sonny might had that reputation but he was a good dude 💯
just one of the absolute greatest movies of all time
I learned this from Sonny, I always did the door test because of him
One of the best OG of all mafia movies
damn sonny practically invented parallel parking
Sonny was literally a “wise guy”. Bad lifestyle but he knew a lot about life
I learnt how to drive backwards because of this scene...
Best reverse driving I’ve ever seen
I've actually tried the door test.
How'd it work out?
@@imcustomized ... it's just as sonny said. The door test tats all that counts.... lol .
She passed
Twat
David rosa how does it work in todays cars
@@classified0713
Classic gentleman style
Disarm you alarm walk over to the passenger side with the fine lady open her door for her when she's seated close her door .when you go over to your side she usually leans over and pull the lever or as we say in my city " she cracks the door" ie it's open but not fully ajar
Sonny so real, no racism or any bullshit.
Seriously though, when I first saw this scene on TV I hadn't even heard most of the conversation because I was so perplexed by why/how Sonny actually drove his car in reverse for 3 blocks X-D And then Calogero didn't even say anything about it, I'm like "WTF?"
I know right ? He's so chill about it..lol
I absolutely love this movie. My best had never seen it so I had him watch about a month ago and he loved it too! I almost know the whole movie verbatim 😂
That's a good test
Sonny is a bad man with good lessons.
