Best scene in The Vigilante


Whats your favourite scene in The Vigilante ?

Mine are the part where Woody Strode comes in and does over the heavies and saves Robert Forster in the shower.
Other part is where Fred Williamson is chasing the drug dealer and can't get to him because of the wire fence.
He looks so furious !

It has to be the final chase scene between the hero and the villan -- starting on wheels, ending on foot and concluding with some of the most powerful exit dialogue ever.

Another scene that is certainly memorable is when the gang blows away the hero's family. Especially the child in the bathtub -- for no reason whatever. Extremely chilling.

The scene where Woody Strode says bye to Robert Foster and he walks out of prison through the basketball court with that music playing.

The entire prison sequence was terrific.

I saw the movie at a theater in a bad neighborhood.

The entire audience was scared to death during the entire prison section.

You could have heard a pin drop.

Many memorable scenes.

My favorite acting job is where Joe Spinell soaks the grease off his oily face by pressing some paper towels against his face in the court bathroom.

Boy could he act !

His role, small as it was, really sets the tone and sets up the action for the whole movie.

Rake saving Eddie from being gangraped in the shower.

Woody Strode opened up all kinds of WHUPP ASS in that scene.

also the scene when Eddie's son gets killed.

the shot of him sitting the bathtub was really sad because you knew it wasn't going to end well.

wish shorty would've found a better place to hide.

^^^ bababy sometimes there ain't no MORE places to hide!

Spoiler alert for them spoil sports out there! Y'all like spoiled milk, stop crying over it!

I love the scene where the whore gets blown away in the bathroom; She gets a bullet in the stomach and goes flying across the room into the shower. I cannot figure out how they filmed that incredible scene. It looked so real.

Fabio Testi is GOD

My favorite scene is the opening speech by Fred Williamson. It's so powerful and profound, to whatever area of oppression you want to assign it to.

I have it on my mp3 player and I love playing it to start a playlist to motivate myself.

I have to side with the OP. My favorite scene was the Woody Strode slow but powerful impact punch in the shower. This really is a great vigilante movie and the kid getting blasted in the beginning was a shocker. It’s hard to go wrong with a cast like Woody Strode, Joe Spinell, Fred Williamson and Robert Forester.
