Reply to What actor had the greatest opening one-two punch debut in film history? by bolshevik_rattlehead
I think about this often as well, because I love Miami Vice, Michael Mann’s movies, and have been getting into Friedkin’s movies recently, why didn’t Peterson do more of these kind of movies?

They probably drew from the same influences, beat me to it though, this one’s one of my favorites, lol.

I was recommended it the other day. Awesome intro. Like Miami Vice in NYC, so very similar to Tubbs’ intro in the pilot and the NYC scenes in Prodigal Son.

First you gotta watch Thief, then Alphabet City, then To Live and Die in LA, then Manhunter.

His quips are great, my favorite quotes of his are from Snatch.

Reply to Why do so few American movies let foreign language speaking characters speak their own language? Why does everything have to be in English... by _wyfern_
Probably because more often than not the actor isn’t a native speaker so it makes more sense to just have the lines in English. The most egregious example of this is characters speaking Spanish in American movies, they often use direct translations or don’t pronounce correctly if the actor isn’t a native speaker.
Anyway, this is what I enjoy a lot about movies like Inglorious Basterds. There are two prominent scenes about the characters’ cover being blown because their non-native accent was recognized.
