I love the change of pace in this scene. When Paulie notices the apartment is in a mess, he ask Charlie what is going on, forgetting all about his thumb. He gives him a lesson on how to treat women. Then he re-realizes his thumb is gone. Outstanding acting.

All the pain killers he took kicked in.

The entire film was Outstanding. An under watched and and overlooked gem

I saw this one, on video tape about 25 years ago at my dad's place in CA. I fell in love with Mickey Rourke and have loved him ever since. Eric Roberts should have been, at least, nominated for an Oscar for this one. He just captures the character of Paulie so well. The performances are incredible.

Mickey Rourke was incredible actor for his time. Eric Roberts was also great

an entire course on drama can be taught on this scene alone. time will tell how this is one of the greatest moments in acting caught on celluloid. CHARLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!

one of my fav movies

this scene is taught in Acting 101 for years to come.

I don’t care what anyone says Eric Roberts is a better actor than his sister. Eric and Mickey may have screwed up, but they are one TALENTED pair.

best scene ever.. it's like an actors workshop redux

I literally love both of these actors to pieces, it's cool to think to this day they're best friends in real life

All the leads in this film deserved Oscars including Kenneth McMillian.

WOW! Great performance.

This is the kind of script an actor waits his whole life to try to nab a part in. And these guys knew it, they played this absolutely brilliantly. This scene alone is beyond a masterclass in characterization and performance from both. Roberts was absolutely brilliant I can't imagine being on the set after scenes like this are filmed, bet you the crew was absolutely silent after these takes, it's brilliant.

Superb acting by Roberts. Made Mickey Rourke look good!

1:34 from groveling with weird sounds to a calm "What the hell happened here , man?" . Fuck, it's my favorite part of an excellent scene.

one of the best movies ever. eric and mickey r fucking awesome in it!!!

Andrew Dice Clay on Uncle Joey brought me here. Who else?

Such a great movie- I love the recuperation period- with the soup and everything

i have to say that is some powerfull acting!!!!! from both actors!!!

One of my ALL TIME FAVES! "The twat robbed ya?" "Ya make 'em walk out lookin' at the floor" BRILLIANT!!!!

I would of never knew this movie without American Dad! Eric Roberts is Great

I agree. Such a great character piece, really. Eric Roberts really owned it in this one. Both he and Rourke didn't get the credit they deserved.

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS MOOOOOVIE!!!!! . . . . . Seeing these two 80's heart-throbs, sensational character actors tearing up the same scenes together, Pure Awesomeness!!!!!! Both of these hot actors at the time were on fuckin fire, Eric . . . . . . GYPSY KING, STAR 80, RUNAWAY TRAIN etc. Mickey . . . . . . BODY HEAT, RUMBLE FISH, 9 1/2 WEEKS etc. Old-school, stand-up guys! To this day, they both have nothing but mad luv and respect for each other! Gotta love these guys! _____________ mykey from toronto

The best scene ever! Thanks for finding it! Brings back memories

Roberts and Rourke were great! This is a cult classic...

Eric Roberts should have been some bigshot star after this.

Judging from these comments I must be soft. I thought Eric Roberts was just heartbreaking in this scene.

Years ago I performed this scene with a senior student in college. Brad Flores played Charlie and I played Paulie. The head of the theater dept wasn't impressed, but our fellow students LOVED it. This was in 1986. Even then us youngsters knew how important this movie was. Still impresess that Brad somehow managed to get us a punching bag, that had to be hung from the catwalk😉😊.

1:18 on, Eric Roberts is unreal, the drug addled, pain ridden, half goofy mood swings and near incoherence. Awesome. How did he not get his Oscar for this role? Then they robbed him of his Oscar for Runaway Train. He and Voight both should've won for that.

@trulysarcastic Eric was amazing in 1983's Star 80. He should've gotten his first Oscar nomination for that role.

First movie I ever saw him in and immediately fell in luv!

This was the best scene out of the movie... Eric at the punching bag 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Best scene of the movie!

These two guys are fantastic actors...sometimes even talent explodes movies that aren't as well known or even as whole, good. There's good acting even in bad movies. This movie isn't bad at all, but I watch for Mickey Rourke and Eric Roberts.

This, and the scene outside the restaurant after they get fired, are the two best scenes in the movie.

ONE GREAT MOVIE, THIS IS THE BEST SCENE EVER. TWO GREAT ACTING JOBS... WISH THESE TWO HAD DONE A LOT MORE, THEY DESERVE A LOT MORE CREDIT FOR BEING GREAT ACTORS, NOT LIKE SOME ONE THE ONES AROUND TODAY...

Agreed, but I'd still like to see Roberts get a shot at his own movie, a killer role like Rourke had in "The Wrestler".

they took my thumb charliiiiiieeeeee!!!! .... what the fuck happened to your place, dude?

Thanks for uploading this whole scene from this great movie! (Great book, too.)

Powerful Charlie!

That's to keep em humble

🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣 they took my thumb Charlieeeeeeeeee!!! lmaoooo😂😂😂😂

thats some good acting

*YOU GET YOUR COAT ON FAST AND YOU DONT SAY GOODNIGHT TO NOBODY*

Eric Roberts & Mickey Rourke, two guys who act their arses off, but some bad behaviour cost them a lot in the acting world.

I'm watching it now!

Good Lord, Mickey used to be beautiful...

"it's canned" LOL!

Another performance by Mickey Rourke that deserved a Best Actor Oscar.

best line in the movie!

Eric is very underrated

"what am i? some kinda ayyyyshole?"

Brillant, just Brillant!

Brilliant film.

the fro is awesome

Eric Roberts was that guy!! Damn shame he still doesn't have an Oscar!😖

This is a classic scene What am I some kind of asshole? Vavooom.. Chaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrllllllllllllllliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeee They took my thumb

"You wait tables, and I make cheese. Let's stick to what we know".

Rogan got me hear. Feel like watching all of Eric Roberts movies now..........strange.

Attori molto bravi

classic scene. Some of the movie, dead bore. But we didn't know better then. We do now! Eric Roberts ROCKED THIS SCENE!

My beagle, Charlie, only has 3 toes on his front-right paw. At least once a day, I say "Charlie! Dey took your thumb!"

@KellyGreen5555 You're absolutely right. Slowly but surely everyone is seeing the light!

hahahahaha- he has the funniest voice/accent.

Brought here by Hollywood Babble-On. :)

haha- yeah- I love that- whole hunk of cheese, loaf of bread, and a slab of salami. I always eat so much Italian food when I watch this. "Tough as fuckin' shoe leather, his mozzarella."

Bingo How he didnt get the nod is beyond me!!

I read that these parts were originally written for Robert De Niro (Mickey Rourke's role) and Al Pacino (Eric Roberts' role). If that's true, I'm finding it hard to imagine.
