It was based.
Dick Tracy thread.

i saw it at a drive in when i was a kid and fell asleep after virtuosity

Madonna watches this and schedules another plastic surgery right after.

>>213660508 (OP)
kind of surprised they never did a sequel.

>>213660508 (OP)
would you recommend this for a date night movie?

>>213660578
Anon, that hag bitch brings the fucking movie down, I don't even care she wore a see through top and flashed a little titty. She was awful and they should have just stuck to the original idea of having her just sing the music numbers instead of thinking she can fucking act. Her thinking that she can cost Guy Ritchie his fucking balls.

>>213660592
I mean, that was all up to Warren, isn't it? It seems he wants to sit on the IP and only tosses on the ol' hat and trenchcoat when he wants it to be renewed, otherwise it goes into the public domain. He even bothered Leonard Maltin over it.

>>213660608
Yes. It has the action that you would enjoy and a very sweet love story about duty and love your girl would get into. Wild colours, great costumes, crazy good performances and several cameos from Hollywood legends.

>A 2-hour 15-minute version of the film exists, as confirmed by Warren Beatty in a 2002 interview. He said Jeffrey Katzenberg, then-chairman of Walt Disney Pictures, forced him to cut the film to 1 hour 45 minutes before release.
RELEASE THE BEATTY CUT!!

Should I watch?

>>213660578
She was sexier in Desperately Seeking Susan. Showed the goods too.

>>213662601
Yes. Its kino.

>>213660523
>>213660546
>>213660598
It's because Storaro was responsible for cinematography. If it weren't for him, I bet we would get something like Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

>>213660578
>>213663079
>"Tell me the truth, Tracy; could it have ever have happened between us?"

>>213661051
I would've thought Beatty had enough clout to get a director's cut released, even at a studio like Disney. I guess things like that are why Roy E. Disney couldn't stand Katzenberg. Or potentially just one of many, many reasons why.

>>213663178
Disney thought the movie was too risque for them, so they chucked it off to Touchstone. Beatty sounded like he was a bit of a dick to work with on this movie, with Danny Elfman calling him insane.

>>213660746
thank you, anon.

>>213663286
>Beatty sounded like he was a bit of a dick to work with on this movie
desu he's a dick in general. Guy's ego is the size of Montana.

>>213663286
>a bit of a dick to work with

>>213663326
Top right and middle bottom would've worked too desu.

>>213663286
Beatty fired Sean Young few days into filming allegedly because she wouldn't sleep with him. But Young was her own bag of crazy.

>>213663286
>Beatty sounded like he was a bit of a dick
a lot of dick, if the rumors are true

>>213663449
Why did so many freaks turn to crime in Dick Tracy's city?

Greatest shootout in film history.
All shot in one take too.

>>213663555
>Flew to London after seeing dailies of Don't Look Now with the intention of getting it shut down because he thought Donald Sutherland was actually fucking Julie Christie
lol what a little bitch.

>>213663559
Pacino looks like he should be a character on Lazy Town.

>>213663513
Sean sounded like she's a special slice of batshit. She was the one who showed up to Warner Bros. studio in her own homemade Catwoman costume and freaked out Tim Burton in it all because she missed out on the role of Vicki Vale in the previous film because she fucked her ankle up horseback riding.
All Madonna did was what Sean wouldn't: suck Warren off, which was easy because they were an item at the time.
>Sean Young, Kim Basinger, Michelle Pffeiffer and Sharon Stone were in the running for the role of Breathless Mahoney.
Its a toss up between Michelle and Kim for me, but ultimately, I think it should have been Kim.

>>213660523
>>213660508 (OP)
so much heart and soul i think this may be one of the best adaptations of comicbook movies
i'd put it up there with richard donners superman, watchmen and sin city

>>213663559
Just because they're unsavoury gangsters, doesn't mean they aren't gentlemen.

>>213663716
Yeah I know. She also harassed James Woods and his family to the point they had to sue her.

>>213660523
>>213660546
Cinematography by Vittorio Storaro, one of the best.

>>213663716
Literally every one of those choices would've been better for Breathless. Not only are they all super hot they can actually act. She's supposed to be a seductive femme fatale that can tempt Tracy away from Tess and desu I wouldn't be tempted by Madonna over Glenne Headly.

>>213660546
Kino

Beatty is an asshole for holding the rights hostage for so long. But Dick Tracy is going to be public domain in ‘27, so he fuck off

>>213660508 (OP)
Funny how this, The Phantom and The Rocketeer each got a live action movie in the 90s and then nothing else

>>213663954
Uhh....TMNT?

>>213663895
Agreed, she is so much more atractive than Madonna by every imaginable metric in the film.

>>213663954
Same with the Shadow. They all got movies because Marvel’s characters were all in legal hell and DC was only doing Batman movies who’s success was fueling them all

>>213660709
I dont fucking understand beatty, unless this was done just so someone else doesnt take the character and make it better than he did. talk about insecure.

>>213664125
warren is making fun of himself in the documentary. he's just a dumb ass

>>213663561
>one take.
I don’t think you know what that means

>>213660523
Le Million 1931 had similar shot

>>213664125
The film emerged in the post-Batman world where a vigilante took the law into his own hands and went around beating up criminals, while Beatty's take on a comic book hero was a guy who was of the law and did everything by the book. Since Batman '89, there have been what, five men who have played Batman? There have been only about three men to have played Jamed Bond in that time too. Its the Wesley Snipes route; you did something so right the first time you did it and it was so right in all the ways it could be right, that it isn't going to be topped no matter who wears the yellow fedora and trenchcoat. In the publics mind, there is and has only been one Dick Tracy and that's Warren and he probably wants to keep that as long as he can. I wouldn't want to let that go and give it up easily either.

>>213664257
yeah ok Warren. You were the worst part of the movie. Everyone just remembers the sets and great makeup.

>>213664257
Each to their own but Beatty himself as Tracy is probably the most easily replaceable component imo. I think Christopher Reeve would've been a better Tracy personally. The film succeeds through its top notch art direction and the exceptional cast playing the classic villains. Maybe 10 or more years ago anyway. There's a massive dearth of masculine actors in Hollywood now. Not that you couldn't find a good Tracy with an open casting call.

>>213664421
Now hear me out, Adam Driver as Dick Tracy

>>213664358
>>213664421
>Robert de Niro, Jack Nicholson, James Caan, Harrison Ford, Richard Gere, Mel Gibson, Paul Newman, Robert Redford, George C. Scott and Tom Selleck were all in the running for Dick Tracy.

Who would you have picked?

>>213664485

Jimmy or Mel.
Also they made the villains too close to the comic strip exaggerations.
They look uncanny.

>>213664485
Some of those are completely wrong for the part and others were way too old at the time. Yeah, George C. Scott could've knocked it out of the park as Dick Tracy but in 1990? He would've been 63.
From that list probably Tom Selleck or Robert Redford.

>>213664485
Ford or Gibson would’ve been awesome

>>213660508 (OP)
Where the fuck was this screened? I love this movie
>>213660523
KINO

Gibson as Dicky Tracy and Michelle Pfeiffer as Breathless

>>213664604
At an old theatre in my town.

>>213660523
Wow. I thought this was some really great pixel art game at first

What the fuck was his problem?

Is this movie good should I watch I am zoomer

>>213664827
Dude, this movie is an amazing romp. Colourful, crazy, amazing make up and music. Its most definitely an experience and a memorable glimpse of what comic book movies were like before Marvel took over the and rewrote the formula.

>>213664482
Adam can play The Rodent.

>>213663895

What else exactly are you to do when your face looks like a nutsack?

>>213660508 (OP)
Cool, a Dick Tracy-thread. Was it just mer or was the setup by X eerily similar to the "12 Angry Men"-murder?

similarities
>no alibi
>two old men downstairs seeing the dude running up the stairs
>people are heard yelling/screaming to eachother
>younger man stabs older man with a weapon
>Dick Tracy have no recollection of what happened
>the victim and the defendant had a previous dispute
>the defendant had a previous record of violent behaviour

it turns out Dick Tracy wasn't gulity.. do you think the 12 angry men would've have aquitted Tracy?

did they get treated differentely just because one guy was white and the other was a hispanic latino?

>>213665167
>>the victim and the defendant had a previous dispute
D.A. Fletcher's dispute with Tracy was intentionally done to thwart Tracy's investigation in to Big Boy because he took bribes from him. Tracy respected his position and authority but didn't piece together him being compromised until it was too late.
>>the defendant had a previous record of violent behaviour
Everybody's strapped in Tracy's universe and if you're not, you best know how to fight and brawl.

that scene when Al Pacino sniffs out the hidden microphone from the coffee dripping from the ceiling.. it's incredible... I have no clue why there's no clip of it on the tube.. if someone could webm it (with sound) it'd be freakin awesome!

When the fuck is Warren Betty gonna let go of the movie rights and let Christopher Nolan have a go at a new Dick Tracy movie?

Great movies. Looks even greater.

>>213660635
She was genuinely good (and cute) in A League of Their Own

>>213665655
She looks fantastic there. She is capable of looking very good but just as capable of looking really homely. Real two face.

>>213665005
I likey her as a redhead

>>213665668
Yeah with the right photographer and the right look she was stunning

She strikes me as one of those chicks who didn't really understand her own appeal and frequently went in the wrong direction with it

>>213663108
it's richard sylbert's work as production designer actually, same team from ishtar

>>213660523
They really don’t make ‘em like they used to. A Dick Tracy movie is more high effort than the last two decades of capeshit

>>213666625
I just like the fact that what I am looking at on the screen is tangibly real, regardless of some of it being a facade. Those are real tommy guns being fired, those are real flames in the explosions, those are practical sets. I like that there is actual craftsmanship in this movie as opposed to it just being sent off to some jeet render farm.

Who even knows what fucking songs she's dancing to...or if she knows where she is or what she's even doing.

Movie holds up and Madonna was only hot when she was fucking Beatty

>>213660508 (OP)
>It was based on a comic book
Okay, this is at least one we can finish the sentence ourselves
Actually it might be a comic strip, I don't know anything about Dick Tract

>>213664421
Warren Beatty is PERFECT as Dick because he impresses nothing of himself upon the character.

>>213665668
>Real two face
Wrong comic book.

>Calling Dick Tracy!
>Calling Dick Tracy!

>>213663170
Granmadonna still says stuff like bling and swag like its 2005

>>213663108
>>213665989
Either way I like the romanticized version of a city at night from Dick Tracy/Batman 89 than the ''realism'' we get now

>>213663954
Disney made a kiddy cartoon starring the Rocketeer's granddaughter. They did the first movie justice, but I really wish the rights would go to a studio that would embrace the comic more.

>>213660508 (OP)
The game on the Megadrive was fucking awesome

>>213660508 (OP)
At the time this felt pathetically lame because it was such an obvious copycat of Burtonman, no one knew a damn thing about Dick Tracy, and it was horribly overmarketed with a billion tie-ins. But I've never rewatched it and I have no idea how it holds up as a work without all that mattering anymore.

>>213667571
Wrong reference.

>>213665844
May have been a byproduct of her constantly reinventing her look. She changed her whole aesthetic with every album.

>>213669435
Of all her styles she was arguably at her hottest when she just went for low key stylish beauty. When she's just being herself with good make up and good photography she's hot as fuck

All the try hard controversy-seeking raunchy stuff was kind of bonerkill honestly

>>213660508 (OP)
Fuck that old bastard for sitting on the rights and doing fuck all with it. What a loser.

>>213663108
What do you think a cinematographer does? Because it’s not what you think it is.

>>213665462
>Nolan
Worst choice. He'd suck all the fun and style out of it.

>>213660523
People shit on Warren Beatty for gatekeeping the rights for Dick Tracy but at the end of the day he is right. Imagine how soulless and slop would be a Dick Tracy movie in current year

>
This movie is really bad, the set design was wasted

>>213660508 (OP)
>Hollywoods number 1 manslut who literally forced studios to make his dream film with unlimited budget due due to contracting, a giant epic about how awesome the Russian Revolution was during the Reagan era.
Last of the Hollywood chads.

?

>>213673276
My bad, thats Jeff Tracy

>>213665655
Why was she naked in that movie? Dick tracy was supposed to be a movie for kids. The movie was vulgar because of her

>>213673360
She wasn't; she was in a sheer top and had granny panties underwear she made a joke about.
Wasn't this film around her 'Erotic' era where she made that book of nudies where she fucked Vanilla Ice?

>>213673610
She didn't have her Sex and Erotica phase until a couple years later.

The story on this is so insane
>In the Mid-60s WB has no faith in the Bonnie and Clyde movie so they offer Warren Beatty 40% of the profits to produce it, he then writes and stars in it and the movie makes $70M in the box office, Warren begins to quietly sharpen his toolset for operating in Hollywood.

>Warren pitches idea for Dick Tracy in 1975, no one wants to make it
>Superman comes out, everyone's ears perk up
>Movie keeps getting shopped around
>Warren Beatty licks his lips while the gears are in motion
>Original comic writer decides the scripts are all terrible, chimps out since he can't maintain complete creative control
>Director on board demands too much money (oy vey, 5 million + backend points on this movie none of us wanted any part of initially?!?)
>Movie returns to production limbo
>Warren realizes everyone's vision for the movie is wrong and he's the only one who can make a faithful adaptation so he options it for 3 million
>Beatty and Goldman re-write the entire movie
>Disney reluctantly agrees to make it so long as the budget is under $25 million, anything that goes over comes out of Beatty's pay
>Beatty sells 1.5 million t-shirts that serve as movie tickets for opening night
>Beatty holds on to the rights like it pumps his blood

>>213673700
Oh she was fucking having it all right; she just wasn't publishing it in books and letting everyone know about it.

>>213673886
He paid good money for it, gambled on his passionate idea and won.
There's a reason why he drove in to meet Leonard Maltin in a fucking Rolls Royce.

>>213660532
The only memory I have from this movie was also falling asleep in the theatre when I was a kid
Dad loved the comic strips, never asked him what he thought of the movie

>>213673610
You can see her tits in that one scene. It's vulgar and not for kids at all

>>213674025

>>213674136
And? You can see animated tits in Fantasia and that came out in 1940.
