I love the fact that so many talented people lived together while trying to find fortune in film industry. All of them became some of the greatest in the industry. Raimi, McDormand, Hunter and the Coen. That's too much talent in a shared space.
This shoot out scene, along with the rest of this movie, were filmed in New Orleans. This scene took place downtown. I remember when they blocked the streets off. The gunshots were really loud.
For me its the crescendo. The first time I watched this I died laughing when they uncovered the machine gun. This scene and the hit attempt on the boss are just so perfectly stupid.
This was never a legit police procedure. The movie depicts the (unnamed but Chicago-esque) city's police department as controlled by the mafia and used by it to take out rival criminal organizations.
I love the way the blocking makes the action appear so absurd... as if a shootout between so many cops and a few gunmen would last that long. I think it also illustrates how in real life, the police are agents that act on behalf of an entity-- the governor, an elected sheriff, the mayor, the state. They supply the force and the entity directs that violence at the target of the day. The targets are unimportant to the police since the police are only agents of the state and hold no stake in who is affected by the violence they inflict.
Not that way back. In the 1970s the Philadelphia police dropped a bomb on a house to flush out some radicals. Not only did all the radicals die, the entire block burned down.
It’s like a scene from the Naked Gun, where the camera pans back and Frank Drebin and the crook are having a shootout from opposite ends of the same park bench.
It is exactly how we need to deal with Antifa and BLM, however I would be wrong to portray them as someone who could actually put up that much of a fight. They would either surrender or scatter.
Yea if this was to happen today, the police would definitely lose since civilians have more firearms than police do. Police only carry pistols and shotguns mostly, very few carry AR15s and it also depends which county or city budget gives them as well.
@@RomanvonUngernSternbergnrmfvus The Taliban didn't outgun the police either, the Afghan police were a bunch of drugged-out losers who immediately fled when the US troops left
Actually, it is important. It's showing the turning tide of Leo's fortunes as the cops start working for Casper. It also illustrates how violent the mob war is turning (Casper talks about it briefly in the following scene talking to Tom).
1:09 Sam Raimi's "being shot" acting was actually pretty good
Sam raimi's a good actor even in a cameo
Yes! He was bang on.
And he is a very funny guy in his interviews and behind the scenes
Pretty darn tootin' crazy not to at least duck when a Thompson opens up in front of you, and you have revolvers
....he died well

And they did it while making Raising Arizona and Evil Dead II, each among their finest work!
I like how even the hat at 0:09 rolls to cover.
Although you wonder why it bothered - at the end of this short clip both sides are showing what rotten shots they all are!
At least he doesn't chase it. Nothing more ridiculous than a man chasing his hat
@@dzonbrodi514 You said it! You got it right.

Plainclothes Sam Raimi looked relieved when he started hearing laughter.😄
Lol right like he acted like the weird kid who's surprised the popular kids found something he did funny
The overkill is what makes it awesome

I dont whats more surprising that this was a legit police procedure or the guys hat took cover.

Wow, looks like UA-cam reactivated some accounts because I haven't seen ANY crisp Miller's Crossing clips for several years until now.
Yeah, same dude. It's weird.

Good movies
Terrible drought!
Awesome Sam raimi cameo
This must have been fun as shit for Sam Raimi.
1:10 That’s for Spider-Man 3 and Oz: the Great and Powerful!
This makes me think of the "Naked Gun" movies...

Some of the cops are a block further down the street and have no clear line of sight on the target.
Overthinkg much, eh?
Fun fact: Tony Sircio (paulie walnuts from the sopranos) was an extra in this scene
Any idea when and where?
This was considered legitimate, ethical and efficient law enforcement back then
Truly, a simpler timer
What do you mean by "Back then"?
Not that way back. In the 1970s the Philadelphia police dropped a bomb on a house to flush out some radicals. Not only did all the radicals die, the entire block burned down.
Um where have you been 😂
@@1earflapping Wish they still did that, too.
@@fenrislegacy He thinks it's a documentary based on real events
Safe to say that PD is fully funded!
That walking fedora at the top of the scene is still miraculous
Bookie :Do horses have knees? Tom: No, Fetlocks, i think. Bookie: If I was a horse I'd be down on my fetlocks praying you dont bet on me!🐎🤣
Hat dropping at the beginning was a nice touch.
Sam Raimi going guns blazing without taking cover against a machine gun was hilarious af
I love how they’re all missing even though they’re like 2 feet away
It’s like a scene from the Naked Gun, where the camera pans back and Frank Drebin and the crook are having a shootout from opposite ends of the same park bench.
The bartender Always gets it the Worst.💥
i just watched this for the first time the other night and couldn't figure out if that was sam or ted, thank you comments section for clearing that up
1:07 does bro think he in the wild west, get to cover my man 😂
Sam raimi (evil dead trilogy,) killed the guy who surrendered
and the guy he killed is Matt Frewer aka Max Headroom
Irish Lives Matter.
That speech would make more sense in 1890
Only if ppl knew abt what they did to the Irish
@@johnmahley1312*people
This is how life in the U.S will be remembered by average people in the distant future.
Best movie ever
Is it just me or has everybody came here just to see Sam Raimi
I heard something like this happend yesterday when the FBI raided the Police Department union, in new york city.
Such an epic film.
The guys who are 50 yards further down the street, what are they even shooting at?
You want they should leave all the fun to the other guys?
The guy getting shot looks like Matt Frewer of Max Headroom fame..
can't help but wonder if this is some sort of analogy for the US in general.
It kinda is
It is. More of a comment, really.
And craziest thing is that police couldn't pull the men out with all that firepower.
Why does this remind me of law enforcement in the...twenty twenties?
because this is set in the 1920s.
Because you like to have a good sook, also police militarization happened because of the Clintons and bush
It is exactly how we need to deal with Antifa and BLM, however I would be wrong to portray them as someone who could actually put up that much of a fight. They would either surrender or scatter.
If you notice we can hear the same singer as in the other other scene
you mean the guy who sung Danny boy?
@@tillerman7272 I believe it's the voice of John McCormack on the record.
Isn't this a little overkill to bring a machine gun
Yup
Looks like paddy’s pub
In this week’s episode “The gang makes a speakeasy”
"the gang repeals prohibition"
That’s gotta be an Enver Hoxha bunker 🇦🇱😂
Strange I thought this scene was in hoodlum
The amount of people not realizing it's genre parody...
The amount of people who don't know the Coen Brothers once said they don't make parodies and are perplexed when people say they do..
@@GoWithHim1 They also said they'd never read the Odyssey. They say a lot of things.
@@brucetucker4847 I believe it. Many people know the story/plot points without having actually read the book..
What’s the name of this song if anyone knows
Did people even try to aim?
Tommy guns had 50 round mags you didn't have to aim lol
Anyone know the song playing?
Blake's Jerusalem
@@tillerman7272 know the singer?
@@oldthompson4537 I think it might be David Lloyd
"It's Come Back To Erin", sung by 'Count' John McCormack, who was popular in the thirties

Great Scene. Don't Fuck with the Irish.
The only thing I’ve ever liked That sam raimi has done
No one wants your boring obnoxious ass here, go find some personality moron

If you're a hammer everything is a nail
I'm not a fan of cops. They would've thrown my brother down the stairs if that det. didn't see me.
Maybe your brother needed some straightening out.
Yea if this was to happen today, the police would definitely lose since civilians have more firearms than police do. Police only carry pistols and shotguns mostly, very few carry AR15s and it also depends which county or city budget gives them as well.
The police are better trained, can get fully-automatic weapons and have helicopters.
They outgun civilians.
Many police departments have tanks and body armor. Also I guarantee you cops will probably get drones if they haven't already.
@@ArmyJames you should go tell that to the Taliban
Here's in Brazil no
@@RomanvonUngernSternbergnrmfvus The Taliban didn't outgun the police either, the Afghan police were a bunch of drugged-out losers who immediately fled when the US troops left
I didn't understand this part it was a little unnecessary and had nothing to do with the movie
