What a great little scene! From the very beginning you sense something's wrong with this guy. He pulls away and you see he was illegally parked in front of a fire hydrant. During the ride, neither the kids nor himself was wearing a seat belt.

There wasn't a big fuss yet about seat belts. As an 80s baby I remember my siblings and I rough housing in the back seat and even falling asleep across the seats. Starting around the time this movie was released I remember the commercials "Click it or ticket " or something along those lines and I think they passed a law the following year in 93 that seat belts were mandatory. I remember fearing for my mom's safety so I would be the one reminding her to put on her seat belt. I remember it felt weird suddenly having to wear them. But by the time I was 10 or so putting the seat belt on was almost a reflex.

Seatbelts were used in the beginning of 80's, but it was nowhere near a common practice in cities. I like how Trump never also wore seatbelt in the Beast, while other backseat passengers wore. :) Especially interviews done in the backseat

Probably the single greatest work of art in the past 50 years

One of the best films ever made. Abel Ferrara and Harvey Keitel nailed it. Having lived through with someone like Keitel's character, this film sends chills down my spine with it's authentic true to life performance. The story of redemption is also interesting, how even a depraved and deeply flawed person can still do the right thing in the right circumstances. This film balances on the edge of the question if there is true evil&good so beautifully and realistically. It's all subjective. A masterpiece that shames the modern cinema in comparison.

@@LOSKOSKI well dads would get mad at their kids if they had to drive them to school, after them missing the bus there and the dads then having to go to work. But not to this extreme extent! The lieutenant appears to have a split personality, he didn’t acknowledge his son’s farewells due to wanting to get his coke high asap. But he’s caring enough to wait for the boys to be shepherded into the school, before he drives off.

A great father and son moment

Harvey’s the man 👍

My father was the same way (minus the drugs) me and my sister get yelled at for dumb shit while he listen to baseball reports all pissed off and even tho he wasn't the most affectionate person he still wanted his kiss on the cheek from us. Love that man.

Those boys almost got him mad enough to shoot out another car radio - don't mess with the Lieutenant.

Funny how the boys’ mum shouts, “Go! Go!” then they race each other to the car and are all excitable. It probably wasn’t the best tactic as the lieutenant clearly isn’t a morning person, likely due to a hangover or coming off a drug high (or both) and he was very pissed off at his sons for missing their bus to school. But he does listen to why they were delayed due to Aunt Wendy hogging the bathroom. Then he’s very pissed off at her.

It happened something curious with this film in my country. Though it wasn't successful in terms of sold tickets or (at the time) video/DVD rentals, its Spanish title ("Un maldito policía" - literally "A damned cop") became the standard expression for cases and situations of police corruption and/or brutality ("la maldita policía")

It's Tolstoian. Anyone who moralizes is certainly a liar to begin with, and then probably something worse. The Tolstoi's quote is (approx) "An innocent man has no idea about what the Right or the Common Good are supposed to be. But let a man kill, steal, harm, lie, and the Right and the Common Good will be an indispensable, essential reality. He does it all for the Right and the Common Good"
