I wish I was an adult in the 1970’s. It may have been even better than the psychedelic late mid to late 1960’s. I was 7 when this movie was played in theaters and my parents took me and my older siblings. I love the hairstyles and everyday street scenes of NY in this clip.
What a f_cking good scene. A piece of art. So cinematic. Can you imagine Sidney Lumet at this moment, capturing this scene on celluloid? Especially knowing that "Attica" was all improvised by Pacino after a crew member had whispered the suggestion in his ear.
That whisper was sprinkled...and it made a brilliant performance shine even more....and let's dispense with the 'actors critics corner' on here. The guy is a legend, he acts, he's brilliant, and though some movies may have not been in some people's tastes (like mine wasn't for Scarface).....the man is an actor non-compare.
I always felt this was his best movie ever because of the character he played. I can relate to that way he always looked like he was just about to go over the edge. that's me on a day at work when things are not going well. And my favorite line of the whole movie is "That Fuckin Jack downtown give me the wrong information dat fuck!"
@@Alpacino-gx4yr Jack just means man, or guy. Or dude. Like, what's up Jack? You usually say it to someone you don't know, to substitute for their name. Like, how's it going jack? You know what im saying Jack?
Hands down, this film is Pacino's best performance. In retrospect, he should have won the Best Actor Oscar. Jack Nicolson was outstanding in Cuckoo's Nest, which swept everything in its path. But this performance is one for the ages. Re-watch the two phone calls Sonny makes late in the film. Gold standard.
John Barry I think it's the 2nd best, I think Godfather Part II is Pacino's finest moment. You can't go wrong with either Pacino or Jack's performance that year, but I don't think anyone deserves it over the other. But I do think one of the reasons Jack got it in 75 is because Pacino won in 74 beating out Jack's performance in Chinatown.
Pacino didn't win for 1974. He won in 1992 for "Scent of a Woman", a very good performance, but it's an award most people call "a career Oscar". You see, had he won for any of his nominations in the 70s (all of which would have been deserving winners), people wouldn't make such a big deal about it. Pacino's performances in Dog Day Afternoon and the Godfather Part II are tied for my favorite performance by any actor, ever.
It's funny how in a Spongebob episode where Spongebob lost his name tag. They made a reference of this film where the fish robbed a bank and shouted "Attica!" 🤣
Robber:"Alright..."(The people in the Bank freeze and Cashier puts her Fins up in the air.)Robber:"...nobody move! This is a Bank robbery!"(The Robber has Spongebob's name tag on.)Robber:"1:55"
ONE OF MY MOST FAVORITE MOVIES OF ALL TIME..... NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I WATCH IT. THE FIRST TIME I SAW IT WAS WHEN IT WAS STILL IN THE THEATERS. THIS MOVIE SPOKE TO OUR GENERATION.... AND PACINO WAS SPECTACULAR.
This movie speaks volumes about the world and American society without ever preaching or spelling it out. So much anger, frustration, and sadness comes out in just the performances and writing. It doesn’t even need music. Just a brilliant, lightning-in-a-bottle movie.
What a power of improvisation, a small circle of such quality actors as AL Pacino. He won only one Oscar, but that Oscar is a ridiculous benchmark for such performances, such performances are beyond the limits of art. Long live my hero of youth, one of the best actors of all time, who changed the film world forever, and whose roles set the standards of modern acting!
"On this team, we fight for that inch. We CLAW with our FINGERNAILS for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches, that's gonna make the FUCKIN' difference between winning and losing! Between LIVIN' and DYIN'!!"
I heard Al Pacino deliberately had to have 2 hours sleep each day and eat less food just to play this intense acting role. And boy that idea worked so well in his intense acting performance.
Yes. It was in the episode Missing Identity, where Spongebob at one moment imagines a bank robbery where the robber is stealing his identity by wearing his name tag. This is what led me to this clip just now.
lets not forget John Cazale... maybe not in this scene but in others... and in Godfather 1 and 2 and in the Deer Hunter.... a pleasure to see such great films, great dialogue, and great acting.
This is so gritty. So real. I just love so many of the films of this era. Damn fine movie-making with actors that were completely dedicated to their craft!!
I've seen this movie, and this scene, a gazillion times. It does NOT get better than this, folks. Wowowowowow. Still, after all these years. Wowowowoowwow.
Al Pacino Sir is just mind blowingly Good Looking. He has such a great personality and that only makes him the iconic legend that he obviously and truthfully deserves... Such a handsome guy... Respect Sir..Take care and God Bless.... 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Pacino rightly gets raves for this film and scene, but Charles Durning is likewise so good you forget he's even an actor here and not a cop just dealing with the events of the film.
Al pacino I have watched you for ever you are an icon a worldwide amazing actor and theatrical star outstanding voice and presence since. You became recognized I once. Shaked your hand in your old neighborhood. Bar jimmy rays and. Have to. Say I am proud of you my friend. Stay healthy and show me more. George. Loukas. Astoria queens
This man played the role of Michael Corleone. Al Pacino is the hell of an actor that arrives once in 100 years I guess. I still don’t understand why he has won only one Oscar. What a legend!!
every time I hear or see “ATTICA!” being referenced i’m reminded that this masterpiece exists and come to pay my respects to the film and one of the greatest actors of all time .
to coordinate this many people in a scene that mixed scripted elements with improv is a true feat of film making. One of the best scenes of any film ever IMO
Al Pacino obviously steals the screen here, but give some love to Charles Durning's performance as harried Detective Sgt. Moretti. The fifty-two-year-old Durning is more than holding his own against a young and hungry beast of an actor seventeen years his junior! That is quite an accomplishment in and of itself.
He was phenomenal. I read that the director let him and Pacino improvise much of the back and forth in this scene, as well as Pacino screaming "Attica".
I think the biggest problem movies have today is to focuss on aesthetic rather than quality and story. A small budget movie with a good or an interesting story that's all most of us ask.
This brings me back. I remember watching this by myself when I was 15-16 years old in the living room of my parent’s house. This movie kept me on edge until the end.
Had to pause, to comment! This scene is so great!!!! So neat an well played out! Its like everyone forgot they were acting and lived the actual character!
Lumet is such a genius. That shot of Broderick surveying the scene, and you just know he's like "Durning is losing control of the situation, I gotta step in here soon."
This and Panic At Needle Park are my favorite Pacino movies from the 70’s. Cruising is good/interesting too, and not talked about too much, but that was 1980.
Im not saying scent of a woman, scarface, heat are bad movies - or even bad performances by pacino, he nails it. But this is his best acting. Its also some of the best acting youre likely to see in your life. Its like he had an extra gear in the 70s.
The 1970s was a great period for American cinema and Pacino was one of the outstanding actors to come out of the era.
I wish I was an adult in the 1970’s. It may have been even better than the psychedelic late mid to late 1960’s. I was 7 when this movie was played in theaters and my parents took me and my older siblings. I love the hairstyles and everyday street scenes of NY in this clip.
Pacino and De Niro
What do you think of current American movies?
**the most outstanding
Randy White some people say Jack Nicholson was 😂
Al Pacino is a force. What an actor, they really don't make them like this no more.

And so is John Cazale
@Divine_D he was an artist, he only took part in authorial project.
The best
Al GODpacino
I don't think Lumet ever directed anything better than this one. And Dede Allen's editing was simply masterful.
“He wants to kill me so bad he can taste it”
Al Pacino, best actor of all time
Haha, yes. “I don’t wanna talk to some flunkie pig tryin’ to con me.”
Iconic lines from an iconic era. “Stick it to the man” is an understatement.
1:56;Me(Like Tom Kenny):"Aaaaaah! I'm innocent, I tell ya! *Moaning* " *Faints and falls on the ground.*
great delivery no doubt but he didn't write those lines
Before Say Hello To My Little Friend, Al Pacino's best tagline role is........
1:56 Attica! Attica! Attica!
Kiss me man, kiss me, I want to be kissed before I get fracked. What a great physical delivery.
michael and fredo lost their family business and had to rob a bank
Maverick lol my sloww ass i get it now good one !
lmao
Maverick
good one Lol😂
Bryan lmao. Well played, sir. Guess Moe Greene really screwed them in that Tropicana deal

Mryrhodesian what is is jack supposed to be? a mastermind or something?
Alpacino 123456 my pops uses "Jack" when he's in a heated convo . Calling someone Jack is like calling them "man" . Came from the 70s I guess.
@@Alpacino-gx4yr Jack just means man, or guy. Or dude. Like, what's up Jack? You usually say it to someone you don't know, to substitute for their name. Like, how's it going jack?

Gosh he is freaking adorable in this. His mop of dark hair and brown eyes, I was born at the wrong time
It was exhilarating to see such acting.
You’re a gross pig
My goodness, Lol Al Pacino at his peak, simply the best, he’s untouchable. What a privilege to watch Pacino act.
Hands down, this film is Pacino's best performance. In retrospect, he should have won the Best Actor Oscar. Jack Nicolson was outstanding in Cuckoo's Nest, which swept everything in its path. But this performance is one for the ages. Re-watch the two phone calls Sonny makes late in the film. Gold standard.
I agree this is al pacino at his best and his best movie
scent of a woman was better... "I'm in the Dark Here...I'm in the Dark" . INSTANT OSCAR .

This was unbelievable what an actor this is a superstar at his best! Legendary🇮🇹
Is it just me or the way he’s walking is adding a special thing to the scene
It’s not just you. Sonny pacing nervously back and forth is adding more tension to the situation.
His body language and movement style was part of the character. So brilliant.
ONE OF MY MOST FAVORITE MOVIES OF ALL TIME..... NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I WATCH IT.
THE FIRST TIME I SAW IT WAS WHEN IT WAS STILL IN THE THEATERS.

Apart from Pachino and Cazelle, the actor playing Sarge was phenomenal.
It felt like a live footage of a bank robbery.
*Pacino
*Cazale
The sergeant was Charles Durning. RIP
Charles Durning was incredible in this.
Pappy O'Daniel himself. Was watching O Brother, found out he was also in this, and had to watch clips of this classic movie
Budget $1.8 million
Box office $50 million
brilliant
Wow. A testament to how good a film this is. A true cinematic piece of art that resonated with lots of people.
Divine_D $240,407,063.20, you’re absolutely right. And that’s allot of money
And that’s how you do it
One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest (same year):
Budget: $3 million
Box Office: $109 million
What a power of improvisation, a small circle of such quality actors as AL Pacino. He won only one Oscar, but that Oscar is a ridiculous benchmark for such performances, such performances are beyond the limits of art. Long live my hero of youth, one of the best actors of all time, who changed the film world forever, and whose roles set the standards of modern acting!
Well said!
This is not a redemption or long overdue
But he won soooo many other awards that other “oscar awardees” haven’t won. It’s just that the oscars are like the headline of your CV
Pacino is so amazing. He could pull off both an icy portrayal like Michael in GF2 and a fiery performance like Sonny here in DDA so convincingly well.
Attica Attica Attica !!!
Say hello to my little friend.
Your out of order, your out of order this all court is out of order.
AL PACINO
Bravo zmaju!
WHOOAHH
she got a.... GREAT ASS! and you got your head, ALL THE WAY UP IT!

I heard Al Pacino deliberately had to have 2 hours sleep each day and eat less food just to play this intense acting role. And boy that idea worked so well in his intense acting performance.
I remember in Spongebob some fish yelled Attica and remind me of this
🤣🤣
Mr.Lawerence is a Big Pacino fan! CHOCOLATE!!!!!
That's how I found out about this movie yesterday for years I laughed at him randomly yelling Attica and decided to just look it up
Yes. It was in the episode Missing Identity, where Spongebob at one moment imagines a bank robbery where the robber is stealing his identity by wearing his name tag. This is what led me to this clip just now.
That’s why I’m here XD
"He wants to kill me so bad he can taste it" :D
lets not forget John Cazale... maybe not in this scene but in others... and in Godfather 1 and 2 and in the Deer Hunter.... a pleasure to see such great films, great dialogue, and great acting.
He was also in The Conversation, albeit briefly.
He’s in this scene
John Cazale masterful. Pacino said of him” he was the best actor of any time.”
Rip to a wonderful actor!
@@treehugger2397
People always say something like that when a dude dies... dunno why they can't just be honest
I loved how frustrated Al Pacino acted in this movie it was truly impressive
How on earth he didnt get the Oscar on this performance!!!!
Faizan Bahadur He lost to an equally legendary performance. It happened a few times in that era.
@@HovaNirvana Agreed Nicholson's performance in One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest was phenomenal too.
The same way The Godfather,Scarface and Heat didnt.

AHHHHH IM INNOCENT I TELL YA.
Charles Durning never gets much love for this movie. He was great too!
Jonathan Mueller I agree, he was outstanding in this!
I believe he was a D-day vet aswell.

Is it just me or does Sonny sound like he's singing a hard rock song with the way he chants?
This movie had a certain level of intensity id never seen before in a movie. The characters are just so vivid
One of the best movies and scenes. No one can stance like Al Pacino ...such presence

My Cousin Vinny
Greatest actor of all time
The fact that Pacino didn't get an Oscar in the 70s is a crime
Al Pacino the one and only . He deserves all the golde globe he has and much MORE. Gby always Al
Charles Durning as Captain Moretti; so utterly convincing that I forgot I was watching a movie.
This is the greatest actor ever
Michael and Fredo robbing the joint
This brings me back. I remember watching this by myself when I was 15-16 years old in the living room of my parent’s house. This movie kept me on edge until the end.
Love, love 70's movies.
they dont make movies nor have actors like this anymore...
Had to pause, to comment! This scene is so great!!!! So neat an well played out! Its like everyone forgot they were acting and lived the actual character!
The acting in this movie is probably the best I've ever seen. And I ususally don't give af about the acting level/quality in movies
Attica! Attica!
Its a crime Pacino has only 1 Oscar. Legend.
One of the greatest scenes of all time 💪
Lumet is such a genius. That shot of Broderick surveying the scene, and you just know he's like "Durning is losing control of the situation, I gotta step in here soon."
1:11 the way he said “armed robbery” was so stinking cute and you can’t convince me otherwise; Al Pacino always made me want to hug him to death 😊❤
"awmed robbewy"
Love this film so much, for an old film it holds up so well
This, along with Godfather 2, is Al Pacino's best performance.
Dog Day screened at the Academy awhile back and Pacino not only did intro, but stayed and watched it with us. Then he did long Q&A!
Who else got excited when Fredo came out for a second in this scene? I even forgot he was in this movie!
Pacino, DeNiro, Nicholson, Beatty, Hoffman, Redford. These men owned Hollywood in the 1970s.
Back when Pacino looked like Pacino.
When Pacino looked like McCartney.
Yeah he really looked young when he was young
This and Panic At Needle Park are my favorite Pacino movies from the 70’s. Cruising is good/interesting too, and not talked about too much, but that was 1980.
This doesn't feel like a 70s movie. Goddamn so timeless.
It really is not dated whatsoever, amazing movie.
@@sabrinayyx3612 as time goes I just appreciate movies with great acting like this more compared to action movies.

So intense! Al Pacino is a brilliant actor!!
I was a kid when i saw this movie for the first time. I thought it was real and cried my eyes out when he died.
He did not die that fredo guy did
@@ayush-eu4hx “that Fredo guy” was John Cazale, who played Sal Naturile.
He screamed so hard this part he tore his voice at the end
Hands down, my favorite Pacino role. He’s on speed, Cazale is the stone cold killer, a 180 from their GODFATHER personas, and they give it 100%.
Only Pacino can perform Sonny.
God, Al Pacino is so hot in this movie :o
Im not saying scent of a woman, scarface, heat are bad movies - or even bad performances by pacino, he nails it. But this is his best acting. Its also some of the best acting youre likely to see in your life. Its like he had an extra gear in the 70s.
Totally! These four movies are the gems in the Al Pacino canon.
Pacino was so stunning. So beautiful.
I love the KISS ME.
This is probably my favorite Al Pacino movie
I’m surprised that no one is yelling Attica right now
I am because of Spongebob
Pacino gave us really great moments in the film industry
“Alright nobody move! This is a bank robbery!
*Attica!!!!”*
Spongebob- “I’m innocent I tell ya!”
Alright, nobody move! This is a robbery! ATTICAAAAA!
2:27 the best scene 😂 I was surprised to see Fredo 😅
Pacino and Lumet only made 2 movies together, but man they were magic.
Pacino rules..The greatest actor besides Brando and Deniro period !!
