Favorite Scene


Of all the great scenes I have to pick the one where Jake smokes PCP, with Alonzo first telling him to man the *beep* up and finish that sh**, while also controlling the traffic. Then, as Jake his taking the last hit, Alonzo starts to laugh in rytmhic way were you (I at least) can´t help but laugh with him.

The scene with Jake laughingly refusing Alonzo's order to shoot Roger, culminating with Alonzo doing it himself. Cue Jake quickly jumping up, proclaiming 'holy SH*T!', and that tense musical score coming in.

Excuse me, I have to go.
Somewhere, there is a crime happening.

My favorite scene was the "poker" scene where Alonzo ditched Jake at Smiley's house, that whole scene was terrifying

Good call. Very tense scene. Possibly my favorite, too.

Cool to see Raymond Cruz and Cliff Curtis (Tuco-Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul and Travis-Fear the Walking Dead, respectively).

That was my favorite scene. Before this scene, I still figured that Alonzo liked Jake and was a good guy, however corrupt. This scene blew it open and really let the audience know that Alonzo is evil.

The actor who played Smiley (who isn't even Mexican) did an amazing job. He was able to be scary yet charming, intelligent, respectable all at the same time.

I thought the 'Bathtub' scene was the best part of the movie (very tense, if a little contrived) it shows that just as bad deeds can come back to haunt you, the occasional good deed can reap rewards also?

That’s some trippy shit.
