Your favourite scene ? why ?


Restaurant and present getting. Surprise happiness and so fast change to "first" dangerous killing action.

I think you have picked the most interesting scene / mood change.

But I also liked the scene in the bathroom in New Orleans: such contrasts between having to be cold blooded and in physical as well as mental control (for the assassination) and then listening to the words of her boyfriend through the door.

Also the ending. The initial uncertainty of what Byrne's character would do. And then after that when she continues to walk - in a way leaving the interpretation up to the viewer..... what happens after this? (Personally I believe she had to walk away for good).

My favorite is the restaurant scene... And also when Byrne and Fonda kiss. It seem so passionate, for only seconds. Then she looks him straight in the eye, and tells him that she will never kiss him again. Aww... Poor guy.

I really don't know if it's really a "favorite scene," but it is the scene I most remember when I think of this movie. When they bring Harvey Keitel in as the cleaner. I totally cringed when he poured acid over the French woman's face. And then went on to try to try and kill Fonda's character. Maybe I am just weak, but I thought a lot of this movie very hard to take - but it hasn't stopped me from seeing it several times.

My favorite scene is the end,...credit's. It's OK,...but like Luc Besson's Nikita rules over this lame attempt at a US remake. Sorry,...but I can only give it 2 stars out of 5. It's fair,...but very forgettable as well. Unlike Nikita,...where I can remember scenes that still tug at me, as in her crying out to her Mother,...The kitchen shoot-out, (IMHO better in Original) and in this movie,...the goofiest was the Dermot Mulroney, B. Fonda and Gabe Byrne (as Uncle Bob scene) OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH how bad! Trained as a trotter,...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! How old are you Uncle Bob?????????

My favorite scene is actually at the beginning of the closing credits, you see the photo of Maggie/Nina/Claudia in a photo taken by J.P. I don't know who did those photos of Maggie but they were fantastic. The one shown during the credits shows a glimpse into her eyes, seeing the emptiness/void in her and the hidden past.

Great photo!

I would have to say my fave scene would be the one where maggie and jp were in New Orleans. Why? because for one, it killed me that she couldnt just do it in a quiet manner , what i mean is tell jp what she was and is without the contact knowing, and number two i always liked the silent killer ( assassin) movies and this scene is exemplorary

reply

the early part when she was a punk kid...shooting a cop,blowjob, stabbing with a pencil...and also the early part when (except fopr seconds she die) no crying/sobbing, no breakdown and shes 'tough' inside... that is attitude...i like that

My favorite part/character/scene was Victor the Cleaner.......sick, sick, sick, but beautiful.....notice how talking/hysterical babbling under pressure gets you killed, youre just supposed to smile and say 'I never did mind about the little things'....see, what they teach you in government agent charm school can really save your life!!!! .......

The opening shot when they are right behind the capital building in a place with broken windows (broken windows policy)dragging a corpse around the town (this is how Gothic got started) along w/ a axe and a street sweeper shotgun (which is BANNED in D.C.) and that crackhead graffiti on that wall on 7th & Burdock. When the Capital cop (white shirt) shows up w/ a sniper rifle to put them scum down, I was like "Get 'em". The black cops were blue shirts (Metro cops), sad he got shot, never EVER trust a crazy white gothic girl wearing headphones during a robbery, duh, & when your wife tells ya, "Honey, don't you DARE go down there," U best listen to her (I hope she didn't get shot w/ all them bullets flying around, sheeze!).

"Here's my wallet, (pulls out a gun) grab the car, U know what, give me YOUR wallets! "Ahhh" It's NO fun being on this side of it, take off your clothes, "It's 20 degrees" take 'em off". Scene drifts off with Bosco driving away with the two robbers standing in the middle of the street freezing w/ the car radio playing "Take me away!" from "3rd Watch. Classic moment make TV worth watching these days.
