Gino is such a bad ass cop. But uhm...you can't just blatantly go around

Seriously, I rewatched this again last night, and literally, the entire movie is jsut Segal going from location to location, insulting people then fu*king them up.

For NO reason!

Still, worse yet, it almost seems ike there was no damn plot, and Segal made stuff up on the fly. Like bad improv.

The infamous bar scene for example...Gino shows up, and immediately starts giving Vinnie sh!t Vinnie clearly doesn't like Gino (and is aware Gino is violent, hence snapping his fingers to get Tattoo to step between them for safety) given the way he talks shows resentment, but, he still orders everyone to comply. Gino then starts insulting Vinnie and Richie, using all manner of vulgarity, before reprimanding Vinnie for saying "prick".

Does that make any manner of sense?

He then starts assaulting and intimidating customers....innocents, whom Vinnie gets angry and protests on their behalf..but, no, Gino is just getting started. He goes around interrogating and making accusations to people just trying to enjoy themselves...when this gets nowhere he starts yelling and irritating everyone, before assaulting another man, shoving him into a phone booth for no damn reason, and kicking the barstool out from another stooge, and insulting a made man AND a innocent woman. Again, these people are just trying to relax and enjoy themselves, and this pony tailed *beep* just shows up and starts bullying them.

Seriously, some older/ugly woman just happens to be at the bar, likely drinking her depression away, and some chubby "Italian" shows up and is making fun of you. This is our hero?? He's a dickbag!

Tattoo finally intervenes and delivers a polite warning....to which Gino asks him where he's from. A cooperative Tattoo informs Gino, and Gino then replies, "Well, you couldn't be rom Brooklyn, cuz we don't talk like that around here."....what the fVuck does that even mean!? It makes no sense. Seriously, it's not cool, nor intimidating...it's just...weird.

He then attempts to go behind the bar, and the innocent bartender sternly tells him he can't go back there...which he CAN'T! And what does Gino do? He shoves this poor old bastard! This poor schmuck is just trying to do his job, and eek out a living, and he gets violently shoved for trying to meet the health code! Gino then starts asking pointless questions like, "What is this seeet haaah?" Who's hotdog is this?" destroying people's paid for beverages, and breaking the establishments glasses. THIS ISN'T HELPING HIM TRACK DOWN RICHIE! In the background we hear patrons growing increasingly angry at this belligerence. Having failed to find out what beer is, nor who owned the hot dog, he then interrogates the poor bartender again, about teh decor....before DECKING HIM RIGHT IN THE GODDAMNED FACE!

Why?? What did this bartender ever do? Did punching this poor sap help him get ANY closer to finding Richie?

Gino then pretty much admits to Vinnie he's growing increasingly agitated and violent, and even sort of admits to being mentally unstable, and a fascist. He orders Vinnie to make everyone line up against their will, and their civil rights. When Vinnie, a responsible businessman declines, Gino WHIPS OUT HIS GUN, AND FIRES OFF TWO ROUNDS IRRESPONSIBLY! Vinnie, naturally enraged and horrified, questions Gino's sanity, as innocent patrons upstairs could have been fatally shot. Gino then tells him, self assurely, there is no one upstairs....When Vinnie asks how he could possibly know this, if he'd busted in the joint (presumaby, without warrant), Gino grins and says, "I don't recall."

THIS....IS...OUR...HERO.....


The man is literally questionable in his sanity.

The made man finally has enough of this and suggests that Gino would have no testicles without his badge and firearm. Gino, who may or may not possess testicles, because he takes it really personally, and gets right in the mans face (violating police protocol) and offers his pistol and badge as a trophy if people "give him a reason" to violently assault them. The mob guy, being very generous, offers $5k for the badge....and why not? A loose cannon lunatic like this needs to be taken off the force. It was a very generous civil service offer. As the clientele of this establishment are lower income, a guy in a cheap jumpsuit throws a punch and is destroyed.

Now, Tattoo, from Attica, steps up to Gino and gives him a message...basically, if Gino wanted past him, which, we've no reason to believe he does (he wants Richie), only two things were stopping Gino: fear and common sense. But, it's irrelevant, as Tattoo then informs Gino he is going to cut his freakin head off, with a switchblade (tiresome work). Gino cranks his face with a billiard cue ball concealed in a hankerchief, knocking his teeth out. And I suspect Tattoo cannot afford quality dental care. Gino then proceeds to beat the local white trash until someone yells "STICKS!"

An asian individual hanging out earlier assembling his pool cue jumps into action, and honorably defends Gino's victims from his rampage. He fought valiantly, one on one. Alas, he is eventually beaten. Gino then goes on to completely wreck everyone trying to help their pals, including smashing a dude's man bag in. He then punches out the mafia guy, despite it being against Italian rules. But, Gino doesn't care. he's insane. He then approaches a terrified Vinnie...and says he wants to talk to Vinnie, after absurdly asking Vinnie how he is doing (given he just demolished his bar, and slaughtered 80% of the patrons), and he wants to talk to Richie.

Now, it's been established Richie isn't there. It's been established Vinnie has been compliant. It's established, and here reiterated, Richie wants to talk to Gino....but Gino keeps coming, menacingly, so Vinnie reaches for a weapon for self defense, and Gino crushes his arm, and orders Vinnie to tell RIchie...WHO IS NOT THERE...that he is going to decapitate his brother, and urinate down the cadavers jugular. Vinnie finally snaps and yells an obscenity at Gino, and I guess because Gino meant it earlier about the bar not being a place for foul language, despite his own tirade of cursing in bad english and italian, he curb smashes poor Vinnie's fave into the bar, breaking his nose, and then walks out, arrogantly, yelling out the question (to the unconscious masses), "ANYBODY SEEN RICHIE?!?? ANYBODY KNOW WHY RICHIE DID BOBBY LUPO?!""

.....they can't answer you. They're all dead, *beep*





Say, do you hear that? It's the sound of the Reaper.....
