It's the city....the winter, the cold, the potholes, the stop and go traffic, not waxing and coating ....it can wear a car out quickly. Iont think folks were focused on that...they were focused on getting from A to B and back to A....or they just didn't care....that's just a theory. Cause if i was living in the most crime ridden places in the U.S where you can't walk alone without gett'n jacked or my job is 20 miles across town...yeah, i would take care of that whip..
“Put that away you’re in more trouble.” A friend of a friend who was an officer loved this film and he loved using that line on people who tried to bribe him.
Serpico, a person with integrity, intelligence, values, the top cop, who will never be corrupted, all corruption should be expunged from the system, as it stands.!
What a film...... Just watched Three days of the Condor and watching Serpico straight after....... New York city in the 70's looking super iconic, kinda Grimey but lively......
If all cops were like Serpico, we wouldn't have killer cops, running around the streets terrorizing citizens,a militarized police who incites riots, blind violence, or home invasions as we have today.
bohemianwriter1 recent events have made me think of this movie. I always recommend it to people who ask why good cops never speak out against the bad ones.
Its a brave man who whistleblows against any team in any organization. The 'mobbing' that follows messes up the mind of any individual who is victimised by the team.
Fun fact, the guy who plays him is my Step grandpa. Had a funny story on this set. While i don't remmeber what scene, he mentioned how everyone was getting frustrated at Al Pacino for nagging everyone to "memorize their lines" while he never did and held up production cause he forgot a line. One day, he got fed up and after the end of the day, got in his face and said 'How about you memorize your's first Jackass".
According to the real Frank Serpico, those crooked cops WERE nice to Rudy because he was willing to bribe them handsomely. Serpico maintains that the most inaccurate part of this scene is the part where he rips Rudy's pants off. twitter.com/SerpicoDet/status/1333513110750105601
Well in the god father micheal corleon was willing to kill a cop. In a kill now ask questions later sort of way. But ill be honest the fire department sees corruption too. Theres set ups on members that they dont like. So it depends whos the cop that got killed. Weather or not he was esteemed in the department. If not. They would kill him. No if ands or butts about it. Then throw it all away in a common craphole never to be seen again.
@@danski6694 yes. The fire department. It is really easy to set someone up. I worked there. Lots of ass kissers, many who will easyly learn to keep there mouths shut, threw years of programming. Then! after careful planning. they then pull the trigger, precisely when they know no one will care nor even bother find out. This is usually after having carefully planned thee assassination your name. Demoralizing you first. Kill you obviously, but inconspicuously lest someone should wake up. 🤫

La hermosa decadencia de los 70s, con qué naturalidad se filmaba esa jungla urbana.

lol calm the hype dude, he's not that good a cop, I mean yeah he's alright I guess but I would be a better cop if I wanted to be.
@decimustv4257 the real Serpico was an honest cop in a very corrupt NYPD
" all corruption should be expunged ". Yeah, absolutely! But, it is easier said than done.
@@decimustv4257:
Maybe we gonna hype him before hyping you, nobody. lol!
Yeah, and the degenerates on the city-payroll tried to kill the good Officer Frank Serpico for that, anti-American criminal ass-pushing losers! Uh
What a film......

Serpico. Like a rock. Hero.
If all cops would be like Serpico criminals will think twice before commiting a crime.
Maybe other cops would, too.
If all cops were like Serpico, we wouldn't have killer cops, running around the streets terrorizing citizens,a militarized police who incites riots, blind violence, or home invasions as we have today.

Fuck that we need the Cowboys systemback
If all cops were like Serpico, we wouldn't have cops full stop, because the institution is inherently criminal.

Then why does the US turn on people like Snowden , Maning or Assaunge?..Shouldn't the people in government be the ones going to prison ?
Did Serpico coworkers try to do something to him at the end of the movie?
@@swisschocolatecake4547Sure...they let him get shot in the face
@@henrylouisrobinson1022coworkers tried to take him out
Pacino is the man!!
Brilliant film.
Things have gotten better
As far as what?...
You are delusional
Both actors would play in Carlito’s way decades later (Carlito and Pete Amadesso)
You mean the mobster Pacino throws around here?
@@durzoblint6532 Yes, Rudy Corsaro in this movie
@@cabagool that’s my grandpa in law playing him. Richard foronjy
@@durzoblint6532 cool! I bought his bio a few months back
@@cabagool Cool. What you think?
Bribery is a felony.
One in the hand one in the bag bubblin.
Gripping scene.
Stay The Fuck Out Of This!!
Early Vincent Hannah.
Warrantless search. Case thrown out of court.
😂😂😂😂
This is the worst case of police brutality I’ve ever seen lol

That wiseguy in real life was allegedly 'sonny' from a Bronx tale.
The guy he busted in this scene was based on Geneveese Family Captain Ralph Santabello, this scene was very true.
Sonny was played by Calogiro - Chaz Palminteri
You mean the real life Sonny?
@@danski6694 exactly.
@@MAC-mo9cj you mean the actor himself or who the character that Corsaro was based on? The actor is Richard Foronjy. He was the real life Sonny?
@@danski6694 apparently bud yeah, the real life sonny.
The criminal Casaro was getting special treatment from the corrupt police officers, really made Serpico mad when he walked in the room.

Really I couldn’t tell
@@durzoblint6532
And I play shortstop for the Mets. You need tickets for Spring Training?
California had Dirty Harry, NY had Serpico!
We should all be that fed up with corruption not only from criminals but from our government.
Freeze at 2:32
Jesus will judge. Lets get a look at u.
The real Frank Serpico maintains that he didn't tear Rudy's pants off. According to him, that was just overacting on Al Pacino's part.
It's the fact the other cops knew he was corrupt and they all sat there laughing 😩😩😩 Serpico had a hard battle on his hands totally
Thats Jane Fonda's gardener in Dick and Jane
uh-uh. i call no way. no cops are gonna be nice to a cop killer, ever. this part didn't happen.

It’s in the Peter Maas book…..
Frank may be in the right, but that doesn't mean Corsaro isn't good people
This is the thin blue line in action and why we allow american flags with the blue line on it
