| Plot: | This is a film about five men who are hauled into the New York police station because a crime was committed and they are the usual suspects. They all agree to do a job together for a little revenge. However, little do they know that someone else has the strings and that they are all the puppets--all because each of them crossed the wrong person at the wrong time. After the big job, 27 people are dead, and there are two survivors. But the question is...who's the one controlling everything? |

Goofs
|
Continuity: Level of coffee in the mugs in the interview room. Continuity: Hockney's position when Redfoot is leaving. Continuity: The Sig.228 dropped in the garage turns into a Browning. Revealing mistakes: Blood squib visible in the money bag as Hockney is shot. FAIR: During the line-up scene, as the suspects enter the line-up booth, a microphone can be seen above Hockney's position. This is a standard feature of police line-up booths. Continuity: The blood on the elevator window. Continuity: When McManus lights the "finest taxi service" on fire, he drops the lighter, and the sky-view of the car shows fires starting on three separate places on top of the car: the hood, roof, and trunk. Continuity: Keaton's cigarette when he leaves the police station. Continuity: In the opening murder, the gunman is not wearing gloves. After the shooting, he is shown in close-up wearing gloves, dropping his cigarette. Then during his escape, while in shadow, he is visibly no longer wearing gloves. (Audio commentary reveals the close-up hand to be that of composer/editor John Ottman). Continuity: During the lineup scene, as Fenster reads the card, Keaton's right hand is over his mouth (trying to cover his laughter, see Trivia) while his left hand underneath his jacket. As the angle changes, his left hand is now on his face and his right hand is under the jacket. GEOG: When the crooked cops are driving Bartel, they pass a sign with a phone number on it. The number is for a California business, where the scene was shot, not a New York number, where the scene was supposed to be. Continuity: Shot of a landing Jumbo Jet (four-engined Boeing 747) becomes a twin-engined 767 or 777 a minute later. Continuity: When Keaton is sitting on the bench in the cell after the line up telling McManus to shut up, his shirt collar alternates between being under his jacket, and outside his jacket between shots. Crew: During Verbal's interrogation, when Dave Kujan bends over to pick up the dropped cigarette lighter, several lighting stands and a flag are visible in the background, by the desk lamp. Continuity: When the police investigator drops his coffee mug at the end of the film, we see several slow-mo shots of the mug breaking from different angles. However, instead of being several angles of the same action, the cup noticeably breaks in a completely different manner in each shot (the first almost completely shatters, the second shatters in a different pattern, whilst in the third only one side chips off, leaving the handle and quite a lot of the mug intact). Also when we focus on the wording bottom of the mug later on, it is surprisingly intact given the shattering scenes we previously saw. Crew: In the scene when the men go to ambush Mr. Kobayashi at his law offices, just after he enters the front door of the lobby with his bodyguards, crew members and lighting stands are visible in the reflection of the polished marble as the camera dollies past the column. GEOG: In the robbery of "New York's Finest Taxi Service", a large, tall, Los Angeles-style palm tree is visible behind McManus when he jumps on top of the police car. Then firefighters arrive wearing Los Angeles fire helmets, not the black leather helmets used by New York. Revealing mistakes: In the first hospital scene, the Hungarian's face is burned, but his right eyebrow isn't even scorched. Continuity: In the scene where Kobayashi is walking through the office building flanked by his two bodyguards, just before the camera pulls back to reveal Hockney, we see an African-American woman in a white blouse and tan slacks walking along side of Kobayashi. In the next cut to Kobayashi walking through the elevator corridor, if you look to the bank of elevators to the left, you'll see the same woman coming out of an elevator as if she had just come down from one of the upper floors. SYNC: During the harbour scene near the end, the report of McManus's Steyr AUG is very muted and yet he has no silencer attached. Continuity: During Verbal's interrogation, his coffee mug is empty when he takes the first sip. In the next scene, it is fine. Fact errors: In the hospital scenes in the burn unit, the medical staff are gloved and gowned but their surgical masks are pulled down under their chins. Their masks should be covering their noses/mouths because burn victims are extremely vulnerable to infection. Fact errors: During the robbery of "New York's Finest Taxi Service", the driver of the police car is wearing chevrons on his shirt sleeve indicating he is a Sergeant, but is actually wearing a badge that indicates he is the rank of Police Officer. (Clearly visible when the guy in the van rips it off his shirt.) Continuity: The boat explodes at night at the beginning of the film. But during the establishing shot of the detectives investigating the wreck the smoke appears to have only just begun pouring out. GEOG: In the beginning of the movie, we see "San Pedro" police department. San Pedro is part of the city of Los Angeles, and as such, it would be "Los Angeles" Police Department, San Pedro division (or precinct). Continuity: Plane landing during misty weather, from the front you see it is a Boeing 747 with 4 engines, after few seconds you see that it's some other airplane with only 2 engines. GEOG: Planes landing in New York City from South America would land at JFK, not La Guardia airport. The arriving passenger was picked up at the departure section of the Delta building. CHAR: Keaton calls the Hungarian language "Russian", although it sounds nothing like it. The Verbal character corrects this. CHAR: At the end of the film when Kobayashi is driving Kint away from the police station, he fails to use the turn signal for the right turn he makes. SYNC: Dean Keaton's line "If I don't get Kobayashi my way she'll get him her way", spoken to Verbal Kint by the dock, doesn't match the movement of his lips. Continuity: In the elevator scene, the bodyguards are shot from above. However, the blood splatter is directly behind where their heads would be as if they were shot from the front. |
Quotes

Verbal: What the cops never figured out, and what I know now, was that these men would never break, never lie down, never bend over for anybody. Anybody. Dave Kujan: You know a dealer named Ruby Deamer, Verbal? Verbal: You know a religious guy named John Paul? Dave Kujan: You know Ruby's in Attica? Verbal: He didn't have my lawyer. Jeff Rabin: I'm telling you this guy is protected from up on high by the Prince of Darkness. Keaton: I'm a businessman now. Interrogation Cop: Yeah? What's that, the restaurant business? No. From now on, you're in the gettin'-fucked-by-us business. Verbal: Back when I was picking beans in Guatemala, we used to make fresh coffee, right off the trees I mean. That was good. This is shit but, hey, I'm in a police station. Verbal: Where's your head, Agent Kujan? Where do you think the pressure's coming from? Keyser Soze - or whatever you want to call him - he knows where I am right now. He's got the front burner under your ass to let me go so he can scoop me up ten minutes later. Immunity was just a deal with you assholes. I got a whole new problem when I post bail. Dave Kujan: So why play into his hands? We can protect you. Verbal: Oh, gee, thanks, Dave. Bang-up job so far. Extortion, coercion. You'll pardon me if I ask you to kiss my pucker. The same fuckers that rounded us up and sank us into this mess are gonna bail me out? Fuck you. You think you can catch Keyser Soze? You think a guy like that comes this close to getting caught and sticks his head out? If he comes up for anything, it will be to get rid of me. After that... my guess is you'll never hear from him again. Verbal: Who is Keyser Soze? Verbal: Who is Keyser Soze? He is supposed to be Turkish. Some say his father was German. Nobody believed he was real. Nobody ever saw him or knew anybody that ever worked directly for him, but to hear Kobayashi tell it, anybody could have worked for Soze. You never knew. That was his power. The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. And like that, poof. He's gone. Fenster: They treat me like a criminal. I'll end up a criminal. Hockney: You are a criminal. Fenster: Why you gotta go and do that? I'm trying to make a point. Kobayashi: One cannot be betrayed if one has no people. [about Keyser Soze] Verbal: Then he showed those men of will what will really was. Dave Kujan: Do you believe in him, Verbal? Verbal: Keaton always said, "I don't believe in God, but I'm afraid of him." Well I believe in God, and the only thing that scares me is Keyser Soze. Verbal: [to Kujan] If I told you the Loch Ness monster hired me to hit the harbor, what would you say? McManus: We gotta bury him. Hockney: With what? McManus: With our hands. [McManus starts digging] Hockney: Oh, this is nuts! It's dry fucking sand, McManus. When he rots the surfers are gonna smell him a mile away! McManus: Dig, you fuck! McManus: You run and we're gonna be digging a hole for you, you got that? McManus: I'm the guy that's gonna get ya. McManus: What am I supposed to do with that? [McManus throws bag of heroin at Redfoot. Redfoot catches it] Redfoot the Fence: I don't know, feed it to the gimp. Ease his pain; I don't know what that is. [Redfoot throws bag at Verbal] McManus: What do you mean you don't know? [Keaton lays a hand on McManus] Keaton: Shut up. Redfoot the Fence: I don't know. I got thrown this job by some lawyer. Keaton: Yeah? Who? Redfoot the Fence: I don't know. Some limey. He's a middleman for someone, OK? He doesn't say, I don't ask. McManus: You're full of shit. Redfoot the Fence: Fuck you. McManus: Fuck you. Keaton: Listen to me. We want to meet him. OK? Redfoot the Fence: That's funny. He called me last night, he says he wants to meet you guys. Keaton: OK. We'll meet him. Good. Do that. No problem. Let's go. [Keaton turns around, ready to leave. McManus grabs him] McManus: I don't like it, Dean. I don't like it. Wait a minute. One more thing, tough guy. Any more surprises, and I'm gonna kill you. Redfoot the Fence: You're such a tough guy, McManus. Do me a favour, right. Get the fuck off my dick. [Redfoot flicks his cigarette butt at McManus and it lands on McManus's eye] McManus: Fuck! [McManus lunges at him in rage and has to be restrained by Keaton] Redfoot the Fence: Put a leash on that puppy. You know, it's an awful shame about Saul gettin' whacked. Cops'll be looking for the guys who did it. Sooner or later they're gonna come around asking me. You have a sweet night, ladies. cop: Todd Hockney? Hockney: Who wants to know? cop: New York Police Department. [Hockney drops his screwdriver, sighs and reaches under the body of the car] cop: Shit! Freeze! Hold it! [ Hockney actually pulls out a red cloth with which he uses to wipe his face] Hockney: You sure you brought enough guys? Verbal: McManus came to us with the job, Fenster got the vans, Hockney supplied the hardware, I came through with how to do it so no one got killed, but Keaton... Keaton put on the finishing touch. A little 'fuck you' from the five of us to the NYPD. [Hockney talks about Keaton's girlfriend Edie Finneran while they're held after interrogation] McManus: How about it, Keaton? You a lawyer's 'wife'? What kinda retainer are you givin' her? Jack Baer, FBI: Listen, send me someone who can speak Hungarian. Yeah he's awake, he's talking like a Thai hooker. Dave Kujan: First day on the job, you know what I learned? How to spot a murderer. Let's say you arrest three guys for the same killing. You put them all in jail overnight. The next morning, whoever's sleeping is your man. You see, if you're guilty, you know you're caught, you get some rest, you let your guard down. McManus: The news said it's raining in New York. Hockney: You kids ready? McManus: I would be if I didn't have to stop and answer to you. Keaton: There is no fucking coke! Verbal: How do you shoot the devil in the back? What if you miss? Verbal: Fuckin' cops. Verbal: [referring to Rabin] That guy is tense. Tension is a killer. I used to be in a barbershop quartet in Skokie, Illinois. The baritone was this guy named Kip Diskin, big fat guy, I mean, like, orca fat. He was so stressed in the morning... Dave Kujan: Verbal, you know we're trying to help you. Verbal: Sure, and I appreciate that. And I wanna help you, Agent Kujan. I like cops. I would've liked to have been a fed myself, but my CP... Dave Kujan: Verbal, you're not telling us everything. I know you know something. Verbal: I told the DA everything I know. Dave Kujan: Verbal, I know you like Keaton. I know you think he's a good man. Verbal: I know he was good. Dave Kujan: He was a corrupt cop. Verbal: Sure, 15 years ago, but he was a good thief. Anyway, the cops wouldn't let him go legit. Dave Kujan: Dean Keaton was a piece of shit. Verbal: Are you trying to get a rise out of me, Agent Kujan? Dave Kujan: I just wanna hear your story. Verbal: It's all there. May I have a cigarette? Verbal: You think you can catch Keyser Soze? You think a guy like that comes this close to getting caught, and sticks his head out? If he comes up for anything it'll be to get rid of me. After that... my guess is you'll never hear from him again. [Keaton is introducing quiet Verbal to the other suspects in the cell] Keaton: His name is Verbal. Verbal Kint. McManus: Verbal? Keaton: Yeah. Verbal: Roger, really. People say I talk too much. Hockney: Yeah, I was just gonna tell you to shut up. Hockney: What about it, pretzel man? What's your story? Keaton: His name's Verbal. Verbal Kint. McManus: Verbal? Keaton: Yeah. Verbal: 'Roger', really. People say I talk too much. Hockney: Yeah, I was just gonna tell you to shut up. Arkosh Kovash: [in Hungarian] Why are you just standing there, you idiot? I'm not speaking English am I? Wouldn't it make sense to find someone who could talk to me so you could find the person that set me on fire, perhaps? He is the Devil. You've never seen anyone like Keyser Soze in all your miserable life, you idiot. Keyser Soze. Do you at least understand that? Keyser Soze. The Devil himself. Or are you American policemen so stupid that you haven't even heard of him? Keyser Soze, you ridiculous man. KEYSER SOZE. [after being strip-searched] Fenster: Man, I had a finger up my asshole tonight. Hockney: Is it Friday already? Fenster: The way I hear it, Soze is some kind of butcher. A peerless, psycho, fucked-up butcher. [suspects in a lineup are asked to read a phrase] Interrogation Cop: Number 1, step forward. Hockney: Hand me the keys, you fucking cocksucker. Interrogation Cop: Number 2, step forward. McManus: Give me the fucking keys, you fucking cocksucking motherfucker, aaarrrghh. Interrogation Cop: Knock it off. Get back. Number 3, step forward. Fenster: [laughing] Hand me the keys, you cocksucker. Interrogation Cop: In English, please? Fenster: Excuse me? Interrogation Cop: In English. Fenster: Hand me the fucking keys, you cocksucker, what the fuck? [last lines] Verbal: After that my guess is that you will never hear from him again. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he did not exist. And like that... he is gone. Verbal: I just can't believe we're going to walk into certain death. Fenster: I don't know anything about no fuckin? truck. Interrogation Cop: Oh, yeah? Well, your friend McManus told us a different story altogether. Fenster: Oh, is that the one about the hooker with the dysentery? Interrogation Cop: I can put you in Queens on the night of the hijacking. Hockney: Really? I live in Queens. Did you put that together yourself, Einstein? What, do you got a team of monkeys working around the clock on this? Kobayashi: Mr. Redfoot knew nothing. Mr. Soze rarely works with the same people for very long, and they never know who they're working for. One cannot be betrayed if one has no people. Fenster: So why are you telling us? Kobayashi: Because you have stolen from Mr.Soze, Mr Fenster. All of you. That you did not know you stole from him is the only reason you are still alive. He feels you owe him. You will repay your debt. Hockney: All right, fuck the debt. And fuck you! How do we know you work for Soze? Kobayashi: I don't think that is very relevant, Mr Hockney. All five of you are responsible for the murder of Saul Berg and his bodyguards. Mr. Redfoot can testify to your involvement, and we can see to it that he will. McManus: Old McDonald had a farm ee i ee i o. And on that farm he shot some guys. Badda boom badda bing bang boom. Hockney: What about it, pretzel man, what's your story? Interrogation Cop: What are you saying? Fenster: I said he'll flip you. Interrogation Cop: He'll what? Fenster: Flip you. Flip ya for real. Verbal: To a cop the explanation is never that complicated. It's always simple. There's no mystery to the street, no arch criminal behind it all. If you got a dead body and you think his brother did it, you're gonna find out you're right. Verbal: Keaton always said, "I don't believe in God, but I'm afraid of him." Well I believe in God, and the only thing that scares me is Keyser Soze. Verbal: Big fat guy, I mean like orca fat. Keaton: McManus. What the fuck is going on? McManus: The strangest thing... McManus: There's nothing that can't be done. Dave Kujan: He was dead just long enough for the murder rap to blow over. And then he had lunch. McManus: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Oswald was a fag. Verbal: It didn't make sense that I'd be there. I mean, these guys were hard-core hijackers, but there I was. At that point I wasn't scared, I knew I hadn't done anything they could do me for. Besides, it was fun. I got to make like I was notorious. Fenster: So who in the goddamn piss-hell stole the fuckin' truck? Hockney: What did you say? Fenster: Who stole the fuckin' truck? Dave Kujan: Of course, I can't prove this. But I can't prove the best part either... Dean Keaton was dead. Did you know that? He died in a fire two years ago during the investigation into the murder of a witness who was going to testify against him. Two people watched Dean Keaton walk into a warehouse he owned just before it blew up. They said he went in to check a leaking gas main. It blew up and took all of Dean Keaton with it. Within three months of the explosion, the two witnesses, they were dead. One killed himself in his car; the other fell down an open elevator shaft. Kobayashi: Before you... do me in, Mr. McManus, you will let me finish my business with Ms. Finneran first, won't you? Keaton: What did you say? Kobayashi: Edie Finneran. She's upstairs in my office for an extradition deposition. I requested that she be put on the case personally. She flew in yesterday. No matter. Kill away, Mr. McManus. Verbal: He lets the last Hungarian go. He waits until his wife and kids are in the ground and then he goes after the rest of the mob. He kills their kids, he kills their wives, he kills their parents and their parents' friends. He burns down the houses they live in and the stores they work in, he kills people that owe them money. And like that he was gone. Underground. Nobody has ever seen him since. He becomes a myth, a spook story that criminals tell their kids at night. "Rat on your pop, and Keyser Soze will get you." And no-one ever really believes. Kobayashi: My name is Kobayashi. I work for Keyser Soze. Strausz: Do you guys know who the fuck I am? Do you know who the fuck I am? [Hockney rips cop's badge off] Hockney: We do now, jerk-off. Fenster: You do some time, they never let you go. You know. They treat you like a criminal. *I'm* not a criminal. Hockney: You *are* a criminal. Fenster: Now why'd you got to go and do that? (I'm) trying to make a point. Verbal: A man can convince anyone he's somebody else, but never himself. [in interrogation room] Interrogation Cop: You know what happens if you do another turn in the joint? Hockney: Fuck your father in the shower and then have a snack? Are you going to charge me dickhead? [after being punched in the stomach by Keaton] Verbal: I'll probably shit blood tonight. Keaton: There's no fucking coke. Verbal: Can I get some coffee? Dave Kujan: In a while. Let's talk about the lineup. Verbal: I'm really thirsty. I used to dehydrate as a kid. One time it got so bad my piss came out like snot. I'm not kidding, it was all thick and gooey. Verbal: The DA gave me immunity. Dave Kujan: Not from me. You get no immunity from me, you piece of shit. Every criminal I have put in prison, every cop that owes me a favor, every creep and scumbag that walks the streets for a living will know the name of Verbal Kint. Now you talk to me, or that precious immunity they seem so fit to grant you won't be worth the paper the contract put out on your life is printed on. Keaton: There's no way they'd line five felons in the same room, no way. McManus: Dean Keaton... gone clean huh? Say it aint so. Keaton: You give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you right now. Verbal: I came clean; I told it like it happened on the boat. So what if I left out how I got there. It was so full of holes the DA would have told me to blow amnesty up my ass. So you got what you wanted out of me, so big fucking deal. Dave Kujan: So that's why you never told the DA. Verbal: You tell me, Agent Kujan, if I told you the Loch Ness Monster hired me to hit the harbor, what would you say? Dave Kujan: Turn state's evidence; we'll put you on the stand. We'll hear it out. Verbal: I've got immunity now, what could you possibly offer me? Kobayashi: Get your rest, Gentlemen. The boat will be ready for you on Friday. If I see you or any of your friends before then, Miss. Finneran will find herself the victim of a most gruesome violation before she dies. As will your father, Mr. Hockney. and your Uncle Randall in Arizona, Mr. Kint. I might only castrate Mr. McManus's nephew, David. Do I make myself clear? Dave Kujan: A rumor's not a rumor that doesn't die... Jeff Rabin: What? Dave Kujan: Nothing. Keaton: This whole thing was a shakedown. McManus: What makes you say that? Keaton: How many times you been in a lineup? It's always you and four dummies. PD are paying homeless guys $10 a head half the time. And there's no way they'd line five felons in the same row. No way. And what's a - What's a voice lineup? Public defender could get you out of that one. Keaton: [after finding Fenster's body] It's not payback! It's precaution. You want payback? You wanna run? I don't care! I'm not doing this for Fenster, I'm not doing it for you... I'm doing it for me. I'm gonna finish this thing. This Kobayashi bastard is not gonna stand on me! Jack Baer, FBI: They tell me you got the cripple from New York in there. He mention Keyser Soze? Dave Kujan: Who? Jack Baer, FBI: Bear with me here... Dave Kujan: [Kujan bursts into Rabin's office] Who's Keyser Soze? Verbal: Ohhh, fuck! cop: [police break into McManus's apartment while he sleeps] Mr. McManus? McManus: [waking] Christ, don't you fucking guys ever sleep? cop: We have a warrant for your arrest. McManus: Fuck you, pig! [first lines] Keyser Soze: How you doing Keaton? Keaton: I can't feel my legs... Keyser. Verbal: I did see Keaton get shot, I swear to you. Fenster: Can you hear me in the back? Hello? Arturro Marquez: He's here! I *know* he's here! That's him, I'm telling you that's him! You hear me? I'm telling you it's *Keyser Soze*! Dave Kujan: Man, you're a slob. Jeff Rabin: Yeah, but it all has a system, Dave. It all makes sense when you look at it right. You gotta, like stand back from it, you know? You want to see a real horror show? See my garage. Verbal: It was Keyser Soze, Agent Kujan. I mean the Devil himself. How do you shoot the Devil in the back? Redfoot the Fence: You guys interested in any more work? McManus: We're always looking for extra work. Keaton: We're on vacation. Redfoot the Fence: Well. That's too bad. I got a ton of work and I don't have any good people. Not like you guys. McManus: What's the job? Redfoot the Fence: There's this jeweler out of Texas named Saul. He rents a suite, some downtown hotel. Does free appraisals for people, sometimes he buys, sometimes he doesn't. Anyway, the word is he carries around a lotta cash. So I figure, I keep the merchandise, you keep the green. Simple. Hockney: What about security? Redfoot the Fence: Couple of bodyguards. Nothing you couldn't handle. McManus: Give me time to check it out? Redfoot the Fence: I expect nothing less from you, man. McManus: Good to see you. We'll call you. Redfoot the Fence: Good to see you too. McManus: All right. Redfoot the Fence: Enjoy LA. Get yourself laid. Verbal: [last line of the film] And like that... he's gone. Hockney: You wanna buckshot shampoo chubby! Keaton: Hey, uh... friend of mine in New York tells me that you know, that you knew Spook Hollis. Redfoot the Fence: The way I hear it, you did time with old Spook. Good man, wasn't he? I used to run dope for him. Too bad he got shivved. Keaton: Yeah... I shivved him. Better you hear it from me now than from somebody else later. Redfoot the Fence: I appreciate that. But just out of curiosity, was it business or personal? Keaton: A bit of both. Redfoot the Fence: Well, like I said, you give me a call if you're interested. [Redfoot and his crew begin to leave. McManus walks over to Keaton] McManus: Is there a problem? Keaton: One job, that was the deal. [Keaton turns and walks away] McManus: One job? [McManus laughs] One job? That's a good one, Keaton! |
