Quote:
The scene in the harlem Church, with the Black Preacher fleecing the flock by getting them to trhow their wallets in the collection basket is awesome, and hillarious...The movie is a subtle knock on organized religion, when Deniro says as Louis Cyphre -- "They say there's enough religion in the world to make men hate each other, but not enough to make them love."
I saw it in the theater at least 15 years ago and I still remember the scene of DeNiro peeling and eating the hardboiled egg while talking to Rourke. Worth the price of admission for that alone.
Guapo - you'll come for the storytelling, but you'll stay for Lisa Bonet's topless scene.
Here's the quote from the Church Scene:
Pastor John: I want you to show right now how much you love God! I want you to show as your tithe! I want you to open up your hearts! And open up your wallets! And open up your purses! And give it up! Praise the Lord! Somebody's been talking about me, talking about I've been riding around in a Cadillac! If you love me, and you wanna give to me, then I should be in a Rolls Royce!
Praise the Lord, indeed!
