Midnight Express - Breakdown Scene

Фильм және анимация

Fury Scene in the film "Midnight Express" (1978) directed by Alan Parker. The main actor is Brad Davis as "Bill Hayes".
Midnight Express is a 1978 American film directed by Alan Parker and produced by David Puttnam. It is based on Billy Hayes's 1977 book and was adapted into the screenplay by Oliver Stone. It starred Brad Davis, Irene Miracle, Bo Hopkins, Paolo Bonacelli, Paul L. Smith, Randy Quaid, Norbert Weisser, Peter Jeffrey and John Hurt. Hayes was a young American student sent to a Turkish prison for trying to smuggle hashish out of Turkey. The movie deviates from the book's accounts of the story -- especially in its portrayal of Turks -- and some have criticized the movie version, including Billy Hayes himself. Later, both Stone and Hayes expressed their regret on how Turkish people were portrayed in the movie.

    I've always thought of this as the best film I've ever seen. I've heard a few of my pals say the same thing. It's very dark and it depends what your opinion is, but there's just so many things about it, you could cut the atmosphere with a knife. The acting, the story, the realistic fight scene you see here. It's been knocked for the way it portrays all the turks as monsters and bent and perhaps goes too far in that respect. And is only loosely based on what really happened, but I still think it's underrated with a rating of 7.8 imdb. I'd give it 9. Only Shawshank you could say is better, but I think it should be up there with the best movies ever made myself personally. There's something about Prison movies that really hits home.

    As a kid I found this video in my Dad's collection and made the mistake of watching it, this scene was a real smack in the face and totaly overwhelming. As a youngster it was too much and freaked me out for many years. That being said it is very well done, Davis is brilliantly manic and the music is suitably deranged. As webgeek6 says though, it is total fiction, as is much of the film when compared to the book.

    The whole crew apparently walked off the set when they heard how the fight scene was going to go down, so it was pretty much just Alan Parker filming Billy and Rifki going at it (with some scattered extras in the earlier shots of this scene).

    It's a shame that he wasn't nominated for the oscars, this scene is a masterpiece. I watched this movie few days ago (I watched it when I was little but I forgot almost everything) and this made me feel all the anger he was feeling through the years inside that place. He really should've won an oscar for this.

    Mia Honeyrose All police informers should get the death penalty. If the police are so smart, they should solve all the crimes on THEIR OWN. That's what they are getting paid for. As for me, if I turn anyone over to the police I'll do it for free, I'm no snitch; and if I turn anyone over to the police I'll NOT remain anonymous, I'm no coward, either.

    + Wes Bervig Actually, police informants do more good than bad. Think about it for a second. Sometimes informers can get into certain places or positions where the police can't - they are much more undercover than regular officers. As well as this, you need to consider the fact that the police ain't lazy - they might be paying someone to uncover information, but that is usually a result of them not gaining or a lack of sufficient access to the criminal organization in the first place.

    How Brad Davis doesn’t get the Oscar is just ridiculous. There has never been anyone in cinema that’s gone that crazy in front of a camera. Ever period. This was the exact portrayal of someone experiencing insanity. And in the characters case it cannot be classified as temporary insanity because he stays this way after the incident. Like his brain short circuited because of sudden trauma. It’s such a powerful scene and I would say never be matched. Can you imagine if the director after that Scene asked if they could do it again??!! Like hey could I get something more?? Davis would probably walk off the set!

    He was like “you can hide under the sink if you want to, but I’m ripping the dam thing off piece by piece until I get to you.” I think that was when Rifki knew that he was screwed and tried to escape instead of fighting back.
