Lyrics & Translation

[English]

- Everything that possibly could go wrong does in cop movies.

Honestly, it's not that dramatic.

- He's a bad mutha... ♪ (campy music) ♪

...that's Shaft. ♪ (campy music) ♪

♪ (upbeat intro) ♪

- (FBE) So today, we're bringing in police officers under 40

and we're gonna see if they know cop movies from the '70s or older.

- Oh. I'm not very good at movie things.

- I mean, I don't know any movies from the '70s.

- I might be able to recognize some of them,

but I don't know if I'm gonna be able to actually name them.

- I like Colors, End of Watch.

[Inaudible] even though it's not realistic.

- Any job that is highlighted in a movie is turned up to 11,

so even jobs that focus on teachers, it's not even close to being realistic.

It's the same for police officers.

The only bad part is when the movies get it wrong,

which they do a lot, people think it's true,

and so that carries over in real life.

You know, when we arrest someone, like, "YOU HAVEN'T READ ME MY RIGHTS!"

It's like, we don't have to...?

Like, "I SAW THAT IN A MOVIE ONCE!"

And it's like...

- Okay... oh, shoot!

Whoa!

- I know it's an Al Pacino movie.

- (gunman) Get away from those alarms. - Damn.

- Oh. Wait, is this Heat?

- Yeah, I know this one. This is a great movie.

- (gunman) Put the gun on him! Get out in the center.

- (man) Sonny?

I can't do it, Sonny. - (chuckling)

- (Sonny) What?

- (man) I'm not gonna make it, Sonny.

- No, no. Whose mans is this?

- (man) I can't do it, Sonny. - (Sonny) Oh, [bleep] me!

- Attica! Attica!

- Attica! Attica!

- I don't even know who the actor is. (chuckling)

The far guy I thought was the guy from Step Brothers, but it's not.

- (FBE) Do you know this movie? - I do not know that movie.

It looks good though.

- That might have been Al Pacino, but I have no idea what movie that is.

- Sonny and the Bank Heist. I don't think that's the title

but that's my guess.

- I recognize it. I mean, I've seen-- I just don't know the name of it.

- Dog Day Afternoon.

It's actually pretty progressive if you look back on it.

Like, back in the '70s, right, this movie's in the '70s about

a guy who's getting his transgender boyfriend a sex change.

- (FBE) This was Dog Day Afternoon. - What?

I have never heard of it.

- Dog Day Afternoon. I've heard of that, actually.

- I've heard of it but I've just never--

probably a long time ago and it probably just went in one ear

and out the other.

- (FBE) Dog Day Afternoon is a crime drama starring Al Pacino

that came out in 1975, and it's based off of

a real bank robbery that happened three years earlier.

- Oh, wow. Okay.

About 11 years before my time.

- Anytime that that we see crimes being committed,

we always wonder why people are doing it,

and so when films go into the mindset of a criminal,

it makes things very fascinating.

- It's interesting to see movies that portray a bad guy.

We look at people and we go why do they do what they do,

and you look back on their history and sometimes you can

kind of maybe understand or relate to why

they did what they did.

♪ (quirky interlude) ♪

- (armed man) You're a very nosey fella, kitty cat, huh?

You know what happens to nosey fellas?

Huh, no? - Stitches?

- (armed man) Wanna guess? Huh? - That's Jack Nicholson.

- He gets cut right here. - (armed man) Lose their noses.

- Ooh.

- (armed man) ...their noses. - Oh!

- (victim groaning)

- I saw that coming.

- (victim gasping)

- (armed man) Next time, you lose the whole thing.

- This guy's dressed like Dick Tracy or something.

- (armed man) Understand? - Excellent movie.

- (armed man) Understand?! - (victim) I understand.

- (laughing) I have no idea. I know the actors.

- (FBE) Do you know this movie? - I have never seen that.

- No, absolutely not.

- The only one I know is The Shining.

That's the only movie I know he's in.

- It's The Shining.

He's a PI, a private investigator, and he's investigating a murder

of this high profile individual, so... a really good movie.

- (FBE) I think you may have gotten your stories crossed there.

This was Chinatown. - Oh!

Chinatown, yes. I have seen this movie.

Very good movie.

I just got the names mixed up.

- (FBE) So this is Chinatown, starring Jack Nicholson

and Faye Dunaway. - That was Jack Nicholson?

Oh!

- Ah, okay. I've heard of it.

Isn't there a famous saying with Chinatown,

like "You're never going to Chinatown" or nothing-something-something?

- Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown.

- Oh! "Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown."

Okay. I knew it was something.

♪ (quirky interlude) ♪

- (man) I'll take that. Now be cool, man.

- I think I know this one.

- I think I know this one.

- This one looks familiar.

- It's clearly a blaxploitation movie or something.

- (man) Where's your partner?

- Oh, that wasn't looking good.

- (FBE) Do you know this? - No, I have no idea.

- I have not-- I don't know who those actors are.

- Is it Shaft?

- Shaft.

- Aww, dude. That's Shaft.

- He's a bad mutha... ♪ (campy music) ♪

...that's Shaft. ♪ (campy music) ♪

- (FBE) This is Shaft. - Oh.

I have heard this movie name dropped quite a few times.

- Iconic. I did see the remake with Samuel L.

I have not seen the original Shaft.

- Really? Okay, because I'm like, I've seen this one.

I think my dad watched that.

♪ (quirky interlude) ♪

- What is it?

- Gone With the Wind?

- Oh, I really didn't see this one. (laughing)

- It's a nice hat.

- (man 1) ...the stuff dreams are made of.

- Oh, my gosh. This is gonna bother me.

- Is that a rooster?

♪ (sad music) ♪

- She looks traumatized.

- I've never seen this movie.

- I have no idea what's happening right now.

♪ (music swells) ♪

- Oh, my gosh!

I was hoping they'd say the name of the item

because the name of the movie is the name of that item.

- (FBE) Do you know it? - Absolutely not. (laughing)

This was, when, the '70s, '60s?

- When it was black and white, I was like, nope.

- Casa Blanca?

- Is that the guy from Casa Blanca?

I don't know.

- It's definitely I Love Lucy.

- The name of the movie is the name of that item.

What's the name of that item?

- (FBE) That is a Maltese falcon.

- The movie is called The Maltese Falcon.

I LOVE old-school noir movies.

The pattern that they used for noir movies is fantastic.

And I like the twists and the turns and the damsel in distress

turns into the femme fatal and I just love those kind of movies.

- (indistinct dialogue)

- Oh, she was cheating. Look at him.

Mmm. Her husband home.

- This is a cop movie?

I'll just put on my pajamas.

- (wife) Darling-- - (husband) Yes?

- (wife) Look, I think I put something in my right eye.

I mean the left. No, no, this one.

- (couple arguing)

- I do not know this movie.

- (husband) Well, then, stand still for a moment!

- Oh wow.

- Oh, yes! Tip-toe... Oh, he had to take the liquor.

He just had to take the liquor.

- (FBE) Do you know this one? - No.

- I really hope this one is James Bond.

- Yes, Pink Panther?

- (FBE) So this is the Pink Panther.

- Oh, that's the Pink Panther?

- Not Steve Martin's Pink Panther.

- (heavy French accent) I would like to buy a "damburgen."

- (dialect instructor) "I would like to buy a hamburger."

- (heavy French accent) I would like to buy a "damburgen!"

- I watched the cartoon. (laughing)

Is that a start?

- He's kind of a goofball, kind of showing a detective, you know?

It's not always serious. Sometimes we're goofballs.

We're here to enforce and protect people,

but we're just human beings, too. We have a sense of humor.

This one's gonna bother me.

Put the gun down. - (man 2) Get back!

(gunfire) - Oh.

You just don't know who's really about that life.

- (passengers screaming)

- Oh, what movie is this?

- (FBE) So do you know this movie? - Mmmmm.

I don't know. Delta Force?

- The Taking of Pelham 123?

- I haven't seen the movie, but I've seen this scene

and I don't recall what movie it's from.

- (FBE) This is The French Connection. - Oh, okay, okay.

No, I've never heard of it.

- The French Connection because he's racing the train.

- I've heard of it many times. I've never seen any of them.

- I know there's other classic police films as well.

- (FBE) This was the first R-rated movie to win best picture

at the Academy Awards. - Oh, wow. I did not know that.

- I've been in high speed chases. They're not fun.

You've gotta pay attention to people.

You gotta pay attention the road. It can be very stressful.

♪ (quirky interlude) ♪

(alarm ringing)

- (man) Uh-huh.

- Clint Eastwood!

- (man) I know what you're thinking. - Oh, my gosh.

Now I'm gonna look so stupid.

- (man) Did he fire six shots or only five?

- Nice.

- (man) Well, to tell the truth, in all this excitement,

I kinda lost track myself.

But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world--

- Oh, yeah, this is a classic scene right here.

- (man) You've got to ask yourself one question: do I feel lucky?

Well, do you, punk?

- It's a famous line.

- (FBE) Do you know this? - No.

- I've seen parts of it. I don't know the title of it.

- My mind is just in shambles right now.

I have actually seen that movie.

That was the first one I've seen.

- Dirty Harry.

- It's Dirty Harry.

- Dirty Harry.

- Dirty Harry.

- It's Dirty Harry.

- Dirty Harry, yes. One of my favorites.

- (FBE) This is Dirty Harry. - Ah!

Dirty Harry, all right.

- I only know the clip, "Do you feel lucky, punk?"

Everybody knows that.

- I saw it a long time ago.

I actually remembered that one because I've actually seen--

that was the only one I've seen out of all of these.

- My dad really likes Clint Eastwood, so growing up, I watched

a lot of Clint Eastwood, John Wayne movies.

- (FBE) Eastwood's iconic portrayal of the blunt and unorthodox detective

whose often in trouble with his bosses set the tone for lots

of his later roles and inspired other loose cannon cop films.

- Oh, here's the thing.

There's so many angry people, but there's very little

loose cannons now.

- Some people enjoy those types of things

because you kinda want to see the bad guys get it in the end,

and if it means a cop has to break a couple rules,

that makes people feel a bit better.

- They're still fabricated, honestly, or there's things where

it's so dramatic where you're like, okay,

if I heard that or if I saw that, I'm like, oh, backup will be there

in 30 seconds, and then there's no backup

and there's everything that possibly could go wrong does

in cop movies.

Like, honestly, it's not that dramatic.
