This has got to be the best NYC mob oriented 1980s film. And Eric Robert's line in the top 25 most memorable of all time! Originally it was going to be a Deniro/Pacino film, but glad it was changed to these two legends & Darryl Hannah! Did anyone ever count how many times Paulie addressed Mickey Rourke as "Chaalee"?
shareAgreed. So many memorable lines.
shareHaha ..He adressed in that way a lot that’s for sure
One of the really beautiful things about that scene is how you see the love that Charlie has for Pauly until then you just see it but just not quite that intense
And it’s also a preview of how even though they’re both scared of bed bug Eddie - you see how Charlie has the balls to take him on because he loves Pauly so much
I agree with everyone here it really is a shame It didn’t do better at the box office because it is such a universal story at least in the sense that the love they have between him and How they’re a great team
I love the movie as well, but I do think that Roberts performance is a little too animated at times. He had a habit of overdoing it sometimes, he did the same in Runaway Train.
It does not ruin his performance for me, but i do cringe a little at times, especially at some of his vocal mannerisms.
