Anyone who thinks he paid him out of honor isn't a businessman. He paid him because if he hadn't, he would clear out his poker joint faster than the cops ever could. If people realize there's no winning at Teddy's, only losing, they are gone. Teddy paid him because it would cost more money not to.
Must disagree. I think the Mad Russian sees him as having equal poker skills. When Teddy was asked “Why don’t you take it back? He replied “Not tonight” Teddy had honor. Nobody will be able to convince me otherwise. Such a great scene. Malkovich, such a master of his craft. Brilliant.
Thats how americans think but if you don’t pay when you lose your nobody you can get destroyed no matter who you are depths must be paid even if your a mob boss it’s respect thing hed lose it from everyone
@apocratos0174 We understand its a movie. You are not special for pointing it out. People in movies have motivations. Rejecting critique of film does not make you smart, just the opposite
@@bfettrules1239 these are Russian concepts, the concepts of a man, he can scold him during the game, but the guy won honestly, so the debt must be repaid in any way, .. especially in the Russian criminal world, card debt must always be paid, even if you are a thief in law is obliged to pay back the loss ... this is a very serious matter, not returning the card debt ... is considered just a vile and cheap person
if he kills him he would see a sharp decline in clients the next day .. very hard to hide this with all those people in the room its not as much as respect as being a business obligation if he wanted to continue to run a successful underground betting place
The only thing about this scene that confused me was that Teddy seemed like he would get more satisfaction out of killing Mike than collecting the money Mike owed. In Teddy’s shoes, I would much rather collect a bunch of money than endanger myself by killing Mike and risking getting caught for his murder.
Wait, I originally thought Mike was playing against a time limit (morning). But then again, KGB said explicitly that they can't stop until one of them has it all.
Eh, you can see some tired guys get a little cocky and blunder, but generally, you are right, they would not tickle in that manner unless there's more players in the pot
I doubt anyone connected to the movie ever thought that " pay him, pay that man his money" would become one of the most repeated lines from any movie ever.
The most lovable bad guy in any movie. A total creep, yet honorable. “ all night long he check check check… he beat me… pay that man his money” How fucking brilliant is John Malkovich ? Best poker movie of all time.
Nothing to do with honor. It's business. He's running a gambling club. If word got around that he doesn't pay people that beat him fair and square, his business would be done.
The cookie thing bothered me a lot. Matt’s character even takes about all the easy tells he could find, some that are subconscious. I’m sure an obvious one like that would be noticed by any good player
I think it was exaggerated on purpose for non-serious poker players to pick up on it. If not then I agree, that man would never win a single hand in his life with that obvious of a tell xD
In poker there’s not many tells, it’s not really a thing. Maybe back in the day or something, but in general most people don’t do anything like that as far as “tells” go
After watching this movie no less than 75 times, my only question is how the fuck did mike or nobody else ever spot the cookie tell before the final heads up game?
No. Because Mike already had the money to pay him off after the first match plus keep a little. KGB goaded him into a rematch to try and win it all back away from him., essentially putting what Mike owed them up for grabs. Mike won it all. So Gramma and KGB got nothing. KGB basically paid Mike off with the money Mike paid Gramma. I suppose Gramma could try and get it from KGB after, but I doubt it.
They cut the line when mike discovers his tell but mike says, " i discovered his tell, ordinarilly i would let him go on eating cookies all night long but i dont have time". Don,t have time!? U discover his tell but u dont have time? I never understood this part.
Because with the short amount of time he had to win back what he owed, it worked better to have KGB rattled (on tilt) than to think that Mike "just got lucky" on a big hand. In an extended session (20+ hours) it's a different story.
Instead of using the tell in a more opportune time later in the night he gave up the fact that he knew his tell with an obvious head scratcher of a call.
Mike only had til morning, as he said ynder normal circumstances hed probably sit at that table for days chipping away at KGB stack with the tell on his oreos But he didnt have the time
Teddy KGB didn't realize that my boy is wicked smart.
*Wicked smaaht
I see what u did

He paid him cause the script told him to

Correct 💯
I just enjoy Malcovich’s accent. I don’t care how bad it may be.
Christopher Collins check out Clowning A Rounders
It's not a bad accent, this is geniunely how many eastern europeans talk
Have you ever listened to slavoj zizek
Stick it to you lol
And in his club, he will splash the pot whenever he wants
That’s why I keep watching videos like this over and over again. That accent is gold 😊
Great acting - one of the best gambling films ever - "He beat me..Pay him, pay that man his money..."
Can’t forget the “straight up.” It shows Teddy getting humbled a little bit.
I love it
"check, check check check!!"

One of my guilty pleasure movies. Great script and cast, never gets old.
Why guilty? It's a classic
It's a cult classic dude and a good movie. No need to feel guilty.
Gotta love the respect at the end. Could have killed him, but instead he pays him and admits he lost fairly. Great movie!!!
if he kills him he would see a sharp decline in clients the next day ..
very hard to hide this with all those people in the room
its not as much as respect as being a business obligation if he wanted to continue to run a successful underground betting place
@@TheBarbahaba Right? What they don't show you is how McDermott tragically fell off a bridge a few days later and died.

That’s what he said but I think it was greatness.
Oreo, the official cookie of poker
You win 😂😂
"not hungry?"
Wonder how much oreo paid for the add
I believe they were Hydrox
@@richboscia1 hydrox, the original sandwich cookie with the better crunch!!
gud, vant kookie? that line has me in stitches all the time. 😆😆
One of the best roles of all time.
The only thing about this scene that confused me was that Teddy seemed like he would get more satisfaction out of killing Mike than collecting the money Mike owed. In Teddy’s shoes, I would much rather collect a bunch of money than endanger myself by killing Mike and risking getting caught for his murder.
"After all, I am paying you with your money." LOL
No it’s “Maney”😂
Malkovich is the king.
Teddy KGB and CC function is pure comedic genius!
Wait, I originally thought Mike was playing against a time limit (morning). But then again, KGB said explicitly that they can't stop until one of them has it all.
One of the best Russian accents in movies ever-
No that’s crap
Pay that man his munee!!
😂 love the sarcasm
Ok Mr son of beeeeech
Love his track suit!
Dave Miller if he had the matching bottom that would have been epic

Great movie and best Oreo commercial ever

Not gonna lie. I learned how to eat Oreos from Teddy 😊
I don't normally like John Malkovich, but I love him in this role…
A guy like Teddy KGB would never string bet in a high stakes game or any poker game
Eh, you can see some tired guys get a little cocky and blunder, but generally, you are right, they would not tickle in that manner unless there's more players in the pot
He splits oreos like a professional.
Are we sure they were oreos?
"Pay heeeem. Pay that myan heeeees myoney."
This is a cult classic right here.
The best John malkovich performance ever
John IS the BOMB!!! Mr. "Sunny Beach"
Check, check, check!…. 😂. One of my favorite movie lines of all time! 💯
That’s how real gangsters act he got pissed but he lost fair and square and payed him mad respect
Lol. yes, I'm sure real gangsters have great morals.
Shiiiit. Now I want Oreo’s.....
Just a brilliant movie!!!
Check, check, check 🤪🤯🥳
He trapped me 🤣🤣🤣
That is Rule No. 1 in Poker... Placing traps (or not)
the reason we love Teddy. -- - - ; e beat me, straight up ;
I love Malkovich and he’s an all time great actor, but that’s not even close to a Russian accent. Still a great character and great movie.
what are you talking about. my dad side of family is pure russian and there accents are the same. they have the same pronounciation
I doubt anyone connected to the movie ever thought that " pay him, pay that man his money" would become one of the most repeated lines from any movie ever.
youre right; nobody did. know why? ITS NOT
I guess we run in different circles.
@@justabaker5609 you must run in circle jerks
I use all these quotes even today.
Your fate is sitting right beside you
does he look like a man beaten by Jacks?
This is the whole movie
"And in my club, I will splash the pot whenever the fAAAAAck I please" XD
Need a full movie on teddy. Block buster for sure
Ya gotta love Malkovich .
Just what I was gonna say.
the bit where he says "im still up 20 grand from the last time i stick it in you" and does that tongue clicking thing loooool 😅😅
Probably the best Russian accent ever performed in a movie
@Robert Mandiberg ya maybe russians might disagree, i dont know, i am not russian
Yeah, right up there with Sean Connery's 😂
Yeah he's good
Imagine being the muscle for a mob boss, completely unaware that Jason Bourne is about to beat the daylights out of you.
The way the cookie crumbles
"Vant a cookie?" 😆
This is one badass movie!
This made me want to go out and buy Oreos.
You forgot the part where he yells out “ CHECKS “ when he plays Mike for the second time
Teddy needs his own movie. Pay thyat man his myonnney.
The most awesome part of that movie!
The most lovable bad guy in any movie. A total creep, yet honorable.
“ all night long he check check check… he beat me… pay that man his money”
How fucking brilliant is John Malkovich ?
Best poker movie of all time.
KGB is the best character in this movie
Malkovich is a genius....
Eastern Promises vs Rounders. London is full of qveers.
Why is the guy who bought the debt from KGB pissed that now the debtor has the money to pay him back?
The greatest film of its time and a great cast!
the cookie was the tell.
his accent is so bad its good....
I heard people give malkovich shit for his bad accent, but my next door neighbor's sounds exactly like him.
In the first game, Teddy KGB assumes he wins, but McDermott could have had pocket 9's which would have made him a winner...
As slimey as KGB is , at the end of the game you see he still has a code
Nothing to do with honor. It's business. He's running a gambling club. If word got around that he doesn't pay people that beat him fair and square, his business would be done.
The cookie thing bothered me a lot. Matt’s character even takes about all the easy tells he could find, some that are subconscious. I’m sure an obvious one like that would be noticed by any good player
thought about this, i'ts not about cookies, paradoxically..
I think it was exaggerated on purpose for non-serious poker players to pick up on it. If not then I agree, that man would never win a single hand in his life with that obvious of a tell xD
In poker there’s not many tells, it’s not really a thing. Maybe back in the day or something, but in general most people don’t do anything like that as far as “tells” go
If I were a professional Gambler I would use these lines all the time in the casino
All time great movie character
After watching this movie no less than 75 times, my only question is how the fuck did mike or nobody else ever spot the cookie tell before the final heads up game?
I think they wanted it kinda obvious so most average movie-goers can spot it too
that's tricky, because "cookies" don't count as much as gestures or absency of these...
It’s a SHAME they don’t make movies like this anymore😢. All fking Mavel crap 😩😩😩😩
He’s pretty badass for a guy who needs both hands to throw a few Oreos
The Oreo cookie was the tell💡
Duh
and then after that Matt finally became a successful actor, thanks to Teddy and his cookies.
Why the hell was Garma pissed off? Mike still has to pay him.
Ey Jackie, it’s the jacketttt
Underated movie
One thing I never understood was why Gramma was so upset when he wins at the end? Isn't he gonna get paid?
No. Because Mike already had the money to pay him off after the first match plus keep a little. KGB goaded him into a rematch to try and win it all back away from him., essentially putting what Mike owed them up for grabs. Mike won it all. So Gramma and KGB got nothing.

didn't he only have a few hours to pay back the money?
Because with the short amount of time he had to win back what he owed, it worked better to have KGB rattled (on tilt) than to think that Mike "just got lucky" on a big hand.
In an extended session (20+ hours) it's a different story.
Instead of using the tell in a more opportune time later in the night he gave up the fact that he knew his tell with an obvious head scratcher of a call.
Mike only had til morning, as he said ynder normal circumstances hed probably sit at that table for days chipping away at KGB stack with the tell on his oreos
But he didnt have the time
I love how he holds the cards and shows the bottom card every time lol
“Gah ahhed”
This is one great part of this movie Rounders... John Malkovich......Give The Man His Moneey!!! He beat me straight up?..
He never should picked up his idiot friend up in prison. I would ve left him there!
Did teddy call him a fotomat?
He sure liked them Oreos
