Gene Hackman

[Section_31]

He's brilliant in Crimson Tide and The Firm too, magnificent actor - really sad doings this from the sounds of it. 

[Pete]

Crimson tide is wonderful movie. Only saw it at cineme because the film we wanted to see was sold out.

Superb isn’t it. A scene I’ve long wanted to act out myself

Absolutely the look on the face of the cunt getting his nuts put in a vice is just glorious 

[Skidfingers McGonical]

Ah fuck. 
 

A sad loss to the film and acting world.

One of my favourite war films is Uncommon Valor with Hackman. It's not got a great reputation but I've loved it since I was a kid. Hackman is a marine colonel who goes back to Laos to find his Vietnam POW son. It does admittedly have a weird vibe - some parts goofy, some parts emotional, but I love it!

Gene, Gene made a machine, and Joe, Joe made it go.

Art, Art blew a fart and blew the whole damn thing apart.

'And you get this straight, shit kicker' is one of cinema's greatest lines.

It is. I’m gonna use it on here today on someone 

[Mook]

The scene in French Connection where he clocks the girl on the bike's purple boots and starts following her in his car is fucking priceless.

 

Can't find it on YouTube unfortunately.

I was just coming here to post that.

[Dav Eusher]

What a body of work he's left.

 

[KMD7]

Scarecrow is another great movie. 

[SasaS]

For me, best thing about him was that he could make even a character which was not particularly well written come alive, seem real, authentic.

 

If I were a director, I would always demand we first cast Hackman and Robert Duvall and then look around who else the production needs.

I feel the same about Ana De Armas & Jennifer Lawrence.

Thelma & Louise could have been a very different film.
