After college I went to work on Wall Street as an investment banker and while I still love this movie (and have watched it over 100x), it still amuses me that Bud was a stock broker and even told his dad “soon I’ll be moving over the the investment banking side.” Stock brokers were a dime a dozen. This would have been more realistic if Bud had been working on M&A deals as an analyst but I think most people would more easily know “stock broker” instead of “investment banking financial analyst.”

Funny story: Oliver Stone had to play hardball with the producers to cast Michael Douglass(they didn't believe he could pull off this role), and during filming Stone told Douglass to his face that he wasn't good enough for the role. Douglass was shocked by this and redoubled his efforts to perfect the character of Gekko and he won an Oscar for his work in this movie. Oliver Stone of course was only motivating him and he got the best out of Douglass because of it. That's what makes a great director.

For those of you interested this movie is based to some degree on the Ivan Boesky ring. I believe there is a great book called "Den of Thieves" that goes into all the insider trading. The Bud Fox character is based loosely on Dennis Levine and some other people in the ring. I believe one of the accused was arrested in this manner and that he cried when he was paraded through the office. Basically you had a ring of individuals who knew each other through schools they attended or work and passed information back and forth about pending deals. Levine had his own ring but became in involved with Boesky. Levine had netted about 11 million (about 40 million in todays money) from illegal trading when through a fluke he came under SEC investigation. What happened was Levine was so completely perfect on all of his trades that others (who knew him as Mr. Diamond) started to copycat his trades. Eventually a girlfriend of someone in Brazil?? wrote a letter to SEC saying her boyfriend was trading on insider info. This fluke eventually led to Levine. Levine and Boesky had been passing information to each other and so Levine cut deal and flipped Boesky in and that's Wall Street. Gekko is based on Boesky.

Its enjoyable to be the villain in fiction, but there's a far cry of difference between liking WW2 games where you play the German Reich and being a neo nazi or doing confederacy re-enacting vs. being a KKK member. There's a catharsis to being the victimizer, but crossing the line to actually thinking the villain is good is psychotic and delusional.

As the closing of "Wall Street" shows, I believe that it's the only picture where the lead character, Bud Fox (Charlie Sheen), effectively has three "fathers." There's Charlie's natural father, Carl Fox (Martin Sheen). There's Lou Mannheim (Hal Holbrook), Bud's moral compass, with his sage advice. And there's Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas), almost the antithesis of Lou Mannheim.

Fun fact this would be the first and only time the justice department would prosecute a wall street executive

Stone saw this as a morality tale with the hard working union guy dad and the old time experienced stock market head as the good guys- but funnily enough everyone wanted to be Bud Fox and Gordon Gekko.

Wolf of wall street is a great movie and destined to be a classic. Leonardo decapio gives a much better performance as the protagonist, then sheen could ever dream of giving. Both movies are great. Wallstreet however is iconic! But not because of Charlie sheen.

I was in New York last week on holiday from the UK and just only a week ago, I spent a day taking a load of pictures of the film locations of my favourite films shot in Central Park including Wall Street and Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps plus the Supreme Court used for the ending scene in Wall Street. I'm just so pleased I've found all the locations where those scenes were shot over in Sheep Meadows and next to Tavern on the Green (but I didn't go inside there in the end).

Insider trading looks like a lot of politicians should be dragged in for that one.

This scene makes no script sense. Gekko would have known that Bud got arrested. He had contacts everywhere, he never would have been so stupid.

Admiration and respect - instantly gone and never ever coming back.

Him trying not to cry as the cops walk him out but he can't help it. great acting. very realstic. no man wants to cry in front of his coworkers while he's being arrested and he tried to stay strong but just couldn't

Years ago, I had a coworker taking the perp walk in front of the whole office for insider trading, he sat right across from me. Wild.

"50...a hundred million dollars, Buddy. A player...or nothing." In 1987, the cutoff for the Forbes 400 was 250 million. Bill Gates was at 900 million (I still have the 87' Forbes 400 magazine). Corporate raiders making 40 million or so off of either takeovers, or green mail, were the rock stars of Wall Street when this movie came out. Now, it's a rounding error in the worth of the Forbes 400 member's net worth.

The problem with arresting a low-level trader during the 80s. Is that almost everyone was skirting the line between legit trading and using insider information to rig the system.
