I admire how Robert DeNiro manages to utter the same sentence over and over, giving it a wide range of emotions, from contempt, to rage, and finally to dispair and even resignation, when it is obvious that Capone's era has finally ended.
Ennio Morricone's score is unforgettable. So sad he's no longer with us. I'm sure he would have continued to work well past one hundred years old had he not suffered that accident. May he rest in heaven and delight the angels with his music.
I like how Eliot Ness convinces the judge that his name is actually in the corrupt list, makes you realize he was indeed bribed by Capone one time and reformed himself.
From David A. Wood: Yeah! I really dug the Prohibition Era clothing of "The Untouchables" too when I finally saw the 1987 film on TV in either 1989 or 1990. The movie's authentic period detail (automobiles, weaponry, dialogue, etc.) especially the kickin' Men's Wardrobe, all courtesy of deservedly famous Italian Men's Clothing Designer Giorgio Armani, was probably the best thing that I loved about the mostly fictional and somewhat hammy 1987 Brian DePalma film. Still, if you are entirely willing to temporarily forego what you already know about actual American Organized Crime that occurred during the morally orgiastic and often violent Prohibition Era (1920-1933) in favor of being thoroughly entertained by well-filmed, cinematic action, then "The Untouchables" is a really nice enough timewaster. Nuff Said and Peace Out from Kettering, Ohio, everybody. ☮️🇺🇲😃✌️👍
"Never stop fighting until the fight is done." When a kid seriously lacking in self-confidence hears such a line uttered by Kevin Costner/Eliot Ness in the face of Al Capone, followed by Ennio Morricone's epic victory theme blaring, believe me, it's a line - and a lesson - that stays with him for the rest of his life. For the better. Now that's the power of a great movie made by great artists.
Movies now are just about absolutely assaulting the senses, shaky hand cam, rapid cuts, intense fight scenes, most children today are not watching truely inspiring movies anymore.
"Never stop! Never stop fighting until the fight is done!" - Wise words, Elliot. :) And fitting how Capone eventually went down due to tax evasion, after thinking he was untouchable for years!
Lesson learned the IRS will haunt you!!! They never charged or convicted Capone for Murder, Extortion, bootlegging, racketeering or other illegal activity. They got him on tax evasion and it stuck and led to his downfall.
Elliot never stopped fighting, whereas Capone's health and mental state deteriorated significantly while behind bars. Towards the end of his life, he even believed he was being haunted by the ghost of a man he killed.
I think it should have been until you're victorious because if there's a fight that I know I won't win, I don't want to continue until it's done! I get the hell out!
Epic music of Ennio Morricone, for an epic film, and a much more epic sentence "You're nothing but a lot of talk and a badge, nothing but a lot of talk and a badge", sounds like LEGEND !!!
That Ennio Morricone music 🎶 playing that big score orchestra music and that big finale of and ending make that ending soo emotional and BIG!! What a great ending to a great movie
OMG Every cast members it’s outstanding in performance. This is a classic of America bygone era. I really missed it so much. I really love Robert De Niro he is out of this world performance. He is as his BEST. I don’t believe anyone can ever replace him in this role.
I get goose bumps every time I see a clip from the movie or hear the music behind it! One of the top 10 films ever made in my humble opinion! Hot men putting away the bad guy! Cheers to Kevin Costner, Andy Garcia, Sean Connery, Charles Martin Smith and the legendary Robert De Niro!
2wingo Cannot officially change his clients plea, doesn't stop him just blurting it out. But it did make clear of how sure his lawyer was that he should plead guilty that's the inevitable result, the film doesn't have to stay till Capone finally agonises over taking a plea bargain rather than try to keep trying to argue a hopeless case.
I remember the Untouchables when it was first released in the cinemas. It was featured on BBC Newsnight and they mentioned how they had to clear certain streets in Chicago of all the modern fixtures and fittings to match the period. 33 years ago now. Great movie.
Just a little moment, but Garcia's great in this scene. The little dismissive wave he gives Capone at the end before nearly chinning the guy getting in his way.
1) A judge suddenly swapping out juries in the middle of a criminal trial. No mistrial, no voir dire, no jury selection process. 2) The defense lawyer unilaterally entering a guilty plea on Capone's behalf without obtaining his consent or even consulting him about it
True but the judge wasn't in in anything under handed.it was his decision alone to switch the juries...what's really funny about this is,there's evidence that Elliot Ness and Al Capone,never met face to face even once! lol
I love that Ness learned to adopt certain Chicago methods in order to take down Capone, but stayed true to the man that he was. Some called it cheesy or corny, but his sense of morality stayed intact. When he says: "Here endeth the lesson", he's saying that to himself as much as he's saying it to Capone. He didn't sell out, or settle for anything short of bringing down Al Capone, who was running that city! Lost two of his trusted men, had his family threatened, etc. Didn't give up against all odds. I know that the John Wick generation wanted 200 men shot, or a 90 minute car chase, but this film was more about honest cops trying to get some justice in the midst of a corrupted, violent society. Sounds like the challenge we all face today. Costner knew better than to outact DeNiro. He has always allowed his co-stars to strut their stuff, and this was a perfect example. He's the straight man to talents like Connery or DeNiro. Costner is more in the vein of Jimmy Stewart, Henry Fonda or Gregory Peck. Here endeth my lesson...
1910 18 are you stupid he never lost the person who lost who the guy who went after him Al capone got out of prison and lived for a good couple of years in peace and died in peace so no Al capone never list you fool
Aztec Empire -- Al Capone was very sick beginning soon after he entered prison from (I believe) a specific form of syphilis. By the time he was out he was worse. A medical professional interviewed him soon before he died and stated Capone had the mind of a 12 year old.
@@alexf8314 Please Al Capone had more button men than my suits. He gave people booze during a dry era and made millions. I wish I had that mind. But what did they know towards the end
Lol I love towards the end how they set it up like Cosner & De Niro were about to have a boxing match and they were taking pics after weigh ins. I thought that was super creative. Good vs Bad 🤜🏻🔥🤛🏾
I love the Little gesture andi Garcia gives de Niro in this scene at the end. And this gets capone really going. Its like like a gesture between italians calm down youre done. Just a Little Detail what makes the movie sooo good!
And after all the murders and crimes, Capone serves 10 years and dies a little while later from untreated syphilis. He knew he had it and refused treatment. Went completely crazy in his Florida mansion.
@@Dirtyboxer1 , Im not even talking about historical inaccuracy. The idea of an attorney changing his client's plea from not guilty to guilty, without his client's consent, is beyond ludicrous. Hilarious.
Contrary to Hollywood's depiction, the judge in Capone's trial was actually one of the few honest judges in Chicago. When he found out Capone's men had either threatened or bribed the members of the Capone jury pool, he ordered the pool to be switched with one from another court to insure a fair trial. BTW, Capone's lawyer did not change his plea to "guilty"; the trial proceeded and Capone was convicted. (For all of it's inaccuracies, I still LOVE this movie!)
I admire how Robert DeNiro manages to utter the same sentence over and over, giving it a wide range of emotions, from contempt, to rage, and finally to dispair and even resignation, when it is obvious that Capone's era has finally ended.
Finally
Who wouldnt want to live in a world according to CAPONE?
Yeah. Mr. DeNiro nailed it regarding the way a guy used to being on top felt when he wasn’t in control anymore and he was in trouble.
Resignation wasn’t there! It stopped with despair
@BryonYoungblood sounds familiar
Ennio Morricone's score is unforgettable.
So sad he's no longer with us. I'm sure he would have continued to work well past one hundred years old had he not suffered that accident.
May he rest in heaven and delight the angels with his music.

Deniro's suit reminds me of Sean Connery's iconic Goldfinger suit
DeNiro acting was an absolute class!
Highest quality of acting.
But he is behaving like big Al today in new york city.
This movie is good, but it owns A LOT to Ennio Morricone.
That man could make a stone cry.
In that regards, he was the Italian Moses.
True.
Had the chance to see him in a concert 5 years ago.
2 hours goosebumps
Good? Lol boomer.

Morricone was a master. May he rest in peace.
"guilty?!" punches lawyer in the face 😂
Now he's guilty with an assault charge.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The music makes it hilarious lol 😂
This scene made zero sense to me, though. How on earth can a defense attorney change / enter a plea without his client's consent - WTF??

Never stop fighting until the fight is done. Those are the words that I hold dear to my heart.
It must've been cool playing the judge to hit that thing the whole time lol

Legend has it that the judge is still pounding the gavel. LOL!!
DeNiro really looks like Capone. His acting was way better than the others.
0:28 "I don't care what you think!" I LOVE it!
This scene always gives me a goose bump ever since I first saw it in the cinema in 1987. JUSTICE IS FINALLY DONE !!!
Robert De Niro’s contribution to cinema is unparalleled. It’s been a gift watching him over the years.
Some say that you can still hear the ghost of Al Capone in his jail cells screaming you're nothing but a lot of talk and a badge
4 people are nothin' but a lotta talk and a badge.
“Never stop fighting till the fightings done, here endeth the lesson”
who agrees: the best scenes of this movie are those with robert de niro
Id say the ones with out him are the best hes just the main character but who cares like its all about Al Capone in this movie.
@@Александар-ж1ч he's not the main character.
Sean Connery made his scenes too
Not quite, the scene where Connery is explaining the 'Chicago Way' to Costner in the church is my favourite scene of the movie.
Connnery and De Niro were great. Garcia was okay. Costner was meh.
LOL Mr. Capone, I think he just proved he's more than just a lot of talk and a badge.
Talia al Ghul 💛
Surely it can't be legal for an attorney to just go completely against his client's wishes and enter a plea the defendant doesn't want....
It most definitely is not, nor is it legal to just switch juries like that.
He clearly said "do something" and then to spite punching him didn't actually say he didn't really plead guilty.
Treblaine
It doesn't matter, a lawyer cannot change his client's plea without said client explicit verbal consent.
2wingo However, the Jury Switch did happen in real life, just not at that point during the trial.
2wingo Cannot officially change his clients plea, doesn't stop him just blurting it out. But it did make clear of how sure his lawyer was that he should plead guilty that's the inevitable result, the film doesn't have to stay till Capone finally agonises over taking a plea bargain rather than try to keep trying to argue a hopeless case.
Costner vs DeNiro with Connery to boot
What a movie

Absolutely adored Andy Garcia in this film he did a real Great South Side Chicago accent too...
Gonna love it when Capone punches his Lawyer hahaha
Very fine movie of eighties,directed by Brian De Palma n composed by impeccable Ennio Morricone.Very nice sarcastic.Must watch.
Capone earlier: "You got nothing!" Ness now: "I've got something!"
For people saying this scene is unrealistic: WHO CARES. It doesn't make it, or even the movie, any less awesome!
Rprince418
what make them see it unrealistic?
1) A judge suddenly swapping out juries in the middle of a criminal trial. No mistrial, no voir dire, no jury selection process.
2) The defense lawyer unilaterally entering a guilty plea on Capone's behalf without obtaining his consent or even consulting him about it
The entire movie is unrealistic...
Well, the judge really did that (swith juries) during the Capone Trial in 1931 !
True but the judge wasn't in in anything under handed.it was his decision alone to switch the juries...what's really funny about this is,there's evidence that Elliot Ness and Al Capone,never met face to face even once! lol
You did it, Ness. We're all proud of you.
“You’re nothing more than talk and a badge”.
And Capone was no better than talk and a baseball bat.
Teamwork 😂
That music never gets old
Deniro and Garcia, two godfathers in one movie. 👍
Al Capone: Alot of talk in the badge!
Easily one of my favorite movies of all time.
Guilty? Proceeds to punch the lawyer in his face.😂
Love DeNiro's face at 0:49
"Guilty??!" and he decks his lawyer!
Never stop fighting until the fight is done. Words to live by.
