About the TV Series:
Boardwalk Empire is an American period crime drama television series created by Terence Winter and broadcast on the premium cable channel HBO. The series is set chiefly in Atlantic City, New Jersey, during the Prohibition era of the 1920s and stars Steve Buscemi as Nucky Thompson. Winter, a Primetime Emmy Award-winning screenwriter and producer, created the show, inspired by Nelson Johnson's 2002 non-fiction book Boardwalk Empire: The Birth, High Times, and Corruption of Atlantic City, about the historical criminal kingpin Enoch L. Johnson.
The pilot episode was directed by Martin Scorsese and produced at a cost of $18 million. On September 1, 2009, HBO picked up the series for an additional 11 episodes. The series premiered on September 19, 2010, and its five-season run of 56 episodes ended on October 26, 2014.
Boardwalk Empire received widespread critical acclaim, particularly for its visual style and basis on historical figures, as well as for Buscemi's lead performance. The series received 57 Primetime Emmy Award nominations, including two for Outstanding Drama Series, winning 20. The series also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series - Drama in 2011 and two Screen Actors Guild Awards for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series in 2011 and 2012.

Richard Harrow was such a badass. Sharpshooter in the first World War, a broken human being with scars to bear. Lethal, calm, and focused. The worst kind of enemy.
And the most loyal kind of friend.
Yeah im sure he seen lots of close quarters urban combat in no mans land...
...and utterly indifferent to his own death.
Extremely calm under pressure and fire!
@@definitelynotvepar6019This isn’t even urban combat. But as for close quarters there was plenty of that in trench assaults and defense
Everybody's a gangster until a trained soldier shows up.
Literally 😅
Then they just a corpse
Trained soldier? This isn’t even an elite soldier, he’s a certified practically super human one man army 😂
@Joe Cool he’s not even a soldier, he’s a superhuman lol, but this is fiction after all.
What’s funny is that statement also works for the show Barry.
Nucky Thompson was one of the few people alive that quickly worked out Harrow was an executioner and was not to be crossed.
Which is what actually made jimmy legit harrow was putting in work
In real life, Nucky Thompson would have been killed by Harrow right after he killed Jimmy. Harrow was loyal, but as usual the writers wrote themselves into a corner. Jimmy should have gone out differently, maybe in a shootout with Manny Horvitz the Butcher.
@@mistersinister2043 Jimmy's death was a last minute decision from what I've heard. The actor was apparently a huge dick behind the scenes so they quickly wrote him out of the show. From a narrative standpoint with what was happening in that season and Jimmy's character arc to that point, his death being on Nucky's order is the only thing that worked thematically, anything else would have felt lackluster and underwhelming.
The season also quickly establishes that Jimmy was suicidal due to the trauma from his mother, as opposed to being overly-ambitious like he had been established as in season 1. He went to france to die, but managed to survive so he instead began taking insane risks and going against powerful people, obviously not caring about his own well-being. It was all or nothing with Jimmy. So it gave them a reasonable out that Harrow understood that Jimmy did it to himself and Nucky/Eli were just the noose he chose to hang himself with. Its a little sloppy, but what can you do when suddenly having to write one of the main characters out of the show.
Also, this one is my own opinion and interpretation, but I got the feeling as that season went on that Harrow was starting to realize that Jimmy wasn't a good person, he was prone to violence with little provocations and very manipulative to people around him. He was an absentee dad and a bad husband to a wife that clearly never wanted to be with him in the first place (While yeah, she cheated on him, they were barely a couple and he fucked off to a war, never writing home. She assumed he was dead, or abandoned her and never planned to come home.) Like, I don't even know if Jimmy even considered Harrow a friend, or if every word Jimmy said was just to manipulate Harrow to do his dirty work for him (As Jimmy never has to return the favor, so we never see his friendship through actual actions.) Harrow even seems to suspect this, that Jimmy might see him as nothing more than another Lackey, asking him "Would you fight for me?" but Jimmy's response may just have been to placate Harrow and keep him in line, but we will never know as Jimmy never gets the opportunity to prove it.
@@mistersinister2043 na ur thinking too small 😂 He definitely wouldn't of went up against Nucky regardless , the wrote the characters as real as they get !!!!! For the lil boy yes but not for Jimmy hence why he said what he said to Nucky !!!!! They both had a understanding plus Richard loved Nuckys kids so he definitely would have gave him that one chance to make everything right which Nucky did!!!! Stop playing video games 😂
@@maralinekozial9131 What has video games got anything to do with this? What a baffling comment.
Richard Harrow gets much respect. Killed everything moving in that house to save that child. 💯💪🔥
good thing the child didn't move then!
nah that was cheesy as shit lol.... comic book shit
I didnt see any of his enemies move either. Everybody stood still and was not behind cover.
There will never be another character like Richard Harrow. He was John Wick before John Wick,: someone who had nothing but sheer determination and commitment to his tasks. Sympathetic, tragic but absolutely merciless and unrelenting. A force of nature
Bro I just tweeted this exact thing then found this comment
Omar has entered the chat.
Anton Chigurh? Leon? Omar? Brother Mouzone? Vincent?
Adebisi?
Not everyone watched wire. Some were just content with Sopranos this and MAD men@@Doughman888
I love how he's all one shot one kill. None of this spray the whole room with bullets that we see so often in movies and TV.
Quality over quantity!
You literally cant spray with the guns he had
Volume counts way more than you think in real life. Getting someone to pucker up and suppressing them and using bounding fire to cover distances until you can flank or close in with grenades.
Seconding Randals post above. Clearing a house with a bolt action rifle (especially without a bayonet) is all well and good provided you don't miss, which given the stressful situation you're at heightened risk of.
It’s Hollywood delusion either way.
Harrow fought against (likely) veteran German troops in the trenches of the Great War. A house full of gangsters would be a cakewalk in comparison to that hell.
He was never in the trenches. He was a sharpshooter. Said it to darmondy on time and said it to someone else. He did kill a lot of Germans tho. He also said his body count was 63 early on, then at one point he says he lost count
@@iianmitchelldub it's not call of duty sharpshooters weren't camping in a building somewhere they were also in the trenches
@@iianmitchelldub Nah, Harrow fought in the trenches. That's how he got his injury and the Nazi sniper face plate; those were designed specifically for trench warfare
@@RyanDogs the funniest part about this is the snipers in call of duty run around more than the people with rifles and pistols
@@Sonoshee They weren't Nazi. Lol.
The stylish shotgun moves were the best part and cemented his extreme badassery.
Big iron on his hip.
Every body posing and calling out before shooting. In the words of Mr. Ugly, "If you gonna shoot, shoot. Don't talk."
Haha, I thought of that same line!
Never take a hostage three foot shorter than you
Did they know about the T zone back then? Prob coulda just shot him without lowering the weapon.
I think he was afraid he'd jerk and shoot the kid anyway, so he calmed him down first and then confused him
This sounds like the tag line from a hell of a good screwball comedy, maybe a Ransom of Red Chief remake. :D
There is nothing more dangerous on this earth than a man who has nothing left to lose.
Demons from Doom understand that
But he had a family to lose
The blatant disregard for his own life due to the trauma and horrors infflicted on him because of the war coupled with his ability as a pristine marksmen makes him a literal purveyor of death
Idk, crocodiles are pretty scary
Rosetti, being a disrespectful psychopath, thought he was an unstoppable monster. Then he met Richard Harrow. And Rosetti truly learned that a trained soldier was far more terrifying.
It goes beyond being a trained soldier. There are many. What makes people like this character so formidable is their absolute lack of fear or moral conflict as a result of whatever they've experienced earlier in life. That keeps them cool, analytic, calculating and free of emotion. Take that out of a man and couple it with ability, and you have someone virtually unstoppable.
gyp rosetti a push over he never really dare go head to head with anyone he does not believe he have power over almost everyone he ever kill are people who is not in a position to fight back.
PTSD is why he did it , WW1 training is how he succeeded !!!!!
I cheered along with everyone else as Richard wiped the floor with the so-called "bad guys" but to me, the best part was the very end when Tommy ran to Richard's open arms. He knew he would always be safe there.
Absolutely the best ending for that character. Finally see a hardened WW1 soldier go FR.
What makes this impressive ha was one eye. Loose an eye you had no depth perception. My uncle lost an eye in combat and my dad told me that driving for him was tricky at best
@@maxhalsted5381yes, but in aiming is an advantage, because when you aim you close one eye.
@@ignaciogodoy7095not true, especially with early optics
@@ignaciogodoy7095 actually in close quarters you aim with both eyes open. People just naturally want to close one eye but it's better not to do so.
Richard was very Terminatior esque the way he went through Rossetti's men to save his late friend's son!
I like how he doesn’t hold the pistol with two hands. Something that was taught back then.
It’s really only done back then, firearms were used the way they were named and categorized after.
Yes, taught, but im sure after trench fighting for however long and being as accustomed to using firearms as he would be, we can probably let him slide.
One handed shooting for handguns until the 80s this scene is period correct@@thecrawlingspleen
Well it's a revolver
Back then It was common to use pistols or revolvers with One hand. Also point shooting without using the sights was a tecnique well in use during WW2, you can find plenty of training films on the tube.
"Double Kill! Multi Kill! Killing Spree! RAMPAGE!!!"
KILLIMANJARO
H O L Y S H I T
He is actually relaxed! His breathing is under control with one focus!
Legendary hitter.
That one final kill in Tommy's room
"Booom!! Headshot No Scope!!"
I agree. This is just about the best one man shooting operation ever and probably the best scene from Boardwalk Empire.
This scene shows the difference between “soldiers” vs an actual soldier.
The world needs more Harrow.
Best character on the show, total badass
Imagine seeing this as a kid. A half masked man who looks like something out of a nightmare half covered in blood turning a mansion into a haunted house one soul by one with each shot precise in the head, or shotgun to the chest. He doesn't speak, he walks quiet, he would be considered the real life boogeyman.
Edit:
Apparently some people have a hard time with reading comprehension and with what I wrote. I am fully aware the kid that's in this scene obviously knows him well and isnt afraid. What I meant was, IMAGINE one of, let's say the gangsters nephews or sons were staying the night there and then all this goes down. You have never met this man and all you see is him wearing half a face and he's soaked in blood whilst nailing each shot with no problem into each of the occupants brains or chest cavity and literally walking quiet as a a mouse, and you think for the rest of your life, you try to make sense of what that man was, since he looks like a creature to a child's mind. It would be like they witnessed a Boogeyman and that kid would tell that story everyday til the end of his days, and then his friends would tell it because it would be in the newspapers. That should be clear enough for anyone, even with the simplest of brains to understand now, right?
Superhuman
Except Tommy already knew Richard.
The boogeyman looks under his bed at night to be sure that Richard Harrow isn't there.
Imagine commenting on a pivotal scene when you obviously know nothing about Boardwalk Empire. This "something out of a nightmare" is this boy's best friend. He isn't a creature from hell, he is saving this boy from hell.
@@timheine5816 hey jackass. I wasn't talking about the boy. I was saying if you were to see this happening and you were a kid
Everyone a real badass until a combat veteran who has fought trained fighters with years of expirience pops up
this is how Joels rampage should have been in the last of us smh
Is that not how it was? He brutalized everyone in the firefly hospital
@@obsidianreaper9507 The execution of it was awful compared to this. The tension, the cinematography, the music, the acting, the violence was 1000x better the The Last of Us,s weird music video style scene.
@SunriseArtsCinema11 I can't imagine being this stupid. Literally 12 year old boy level intelligence 😂
OK...who set the game mode to Very Easy?
lmao...i know you're kidding, but yeah, if you ever shot a gun, you'd know how hard it is to hit a target even a considerable amount of feet away from you. Now imagine you're spooked by a pre CIA spook taking out all your compadres
The struggle with the fat man and the revolver. Did he really just hold the hammer so it wouldnt cock? What a goddamn genius.
I just started watching this show as of yesterday thanks to good ol' CZcamss shorts. I love it so far.
Glad you enjoy it!
Man it only gets better. Season 1 to 3 are my favorite. 4 and 5 are good too but I think it peaked around 3. Its all very good tho still.
It's great but it does leave things out and rush through a lot in the last two seasons.
Damn I feel sorry that u ruined this scene by watching dumbass clips ....sux to be u lil boi😂
Richard Harrows has definitely deserved his place together with Jesse Pinkman and Christopher Moltisanti in history of TV series.
loved that character
Good thing he chose a bolt action rifle with the longest scope i have ever seen for close quarters combat. Those bad guy pistols were absolutely usless at 10ft.
Thats how scopes looked like back then. Very long tubes and small diameters.
@@4Core100 I'm aware. I was using an expression. Thanks for sharing knowledge anyway 🙏
He's my favorite in the series of Board walk Empire.
That was more badass than anything I saw in Sopranos... and I LOVVVVE the Sopranos!
and that's not even his kid... just a loyal friend with very little in the world.
Sopranos isn’t an action show… This is almost more badass than anything you saw in Mrs Doubtfire, so what
That unwavering and overpowering desire to reclaim the closest person he had to family. Harrow would've killed a thousand to retrieve Tommy. Notice how when Richard tells Tommy to close his eyes, he does so instantly without hesitation. Complete trust. How one knows at the end of things, Tommy loved the man. When Harrow dies unceremoniously under the pier, I think it was the only time in the show a tear rolled down my cheek. He deserved better, but it does add realism to the story. 'Fair' isn't something that exists.
This scene was a Harrowing experience.
i love how the bad guys behind im always wait till he turns around. Or the guy who even wears a holster rather engages in a Hand to hand fight instead of just Shooting him.
Richard: "Jimmy, would you fight for me?" Jimmy: "Absolutely. Down to the last bullet." Greatest male friendship ever depicted on tv.
I forgot how amazing this show was
Such an interesting character. Remorseless brutal killer who's likeable and sympathetic. Great scene
Man this show was truly something else
Part of what makes this a great scene is that up to that point, violence has been rather realistic. Normal shootout and fights. And then Harrow suddenly massacres an entire squad of gangsters. This is a very efficient way of showing his skills.
Pretty impressive that a shootout was done with a bolt action.
It would actually make sense for him to have this skill set considering he was raiding trenches and that’s brutal fast paced CQB action
This is what happens when you and your homies run into an 8 year old on fortnite I swear bro
Harrow: "Hidily ho gangsterinos!"
Gangster: "Put the gun DOWN!"
Harrow: "Okily dokily!"
Harrow: "Close your eyes for the lord, son".
_BANG!_
That's it now I wanna see a stand alone show or movie about Richard in ww1
Wow! That would be awesome!
Just a thought, I binged Boardwalk Empire. Fabulous!!
The Richard Harrow character was great.
Indeed he was!
What's the expression? Beware the man with half a face in a profession where everyone has their whole face? Something like that.
Different than John Wick, Richard doesn't seems to have rush adrenaline to put a gun to shoot. He's very calm and aware. I like that.
Guns at that time had a slower fire rate, so he could afford to be calm.
Thru the brain stem. Pretty much the only way to guarantee the trigger finger won't get pulled by reflex after the shot.
Gangsters from shows like this, the Sopranos etc. take a full clip of ammo to waste one guy. Richard Harrow (a soldier) wipes out an entire house of mobsters without even reloading, one shot per kill.
Beware the anger of a patient man
Harrow was an awesome character.
warriors in the garden vs gardeners at war
This is the point where you have nothing to lose.
These henchmen are the worst. They're all FIRED!😆
I love Richard
Nobody shows one of the best scenes when Richard is preparing his weapons before this and it just plays those war drums in the background
This is BADASS!!
I like the way they all lined up to get killed. My favourite was the guy that walked up behind him with a gun in his hand to still allowed the guy time to smash his head in. Silly.
First some of them probably didnt have their gun on them and had to go get it. Most of them were just confused on what was happening and who was shooting who from where and shooting a gun while moving is really hard and if you actually dont know what youre doing you arent gonna hit nothing. One of the most important things too. They all went under cover cause they thought it was multiple attackers so it made Harrow's job easier. They one thing from the guy who was going to shoot him and got hit on the head was a little dumb yeah but it was for the sake show but this is far more realistic than any other shooting scene in a show or movie
@@ritojoseblandonpinzon5203 The amount of plot armor was beyond absurd. The idea that he could walk into a house full of gangsters on his lonesome and kill what, a dozen hardened killers is beyond hilarious. One of the reasons why that show never really took off was exactly because of this kind of silliness.
The Original Terminator.
The music you added actually goes perfectly with it
Thanks man!
I LOVE this.
He has that magic power that makes everyone stand there like a statue while he aims at them.
They could have choreographed it better.
Normally that stuff doesn’t bother me in shows and movies but that was so bad, 15 feet away miss your shot and then just stand there
@@haba1715 you'd be surprised irl at how that often does happen. Especially with untrained people who spray bullets at each other like ten feet away and hit nothing but air. It sounds insane but it happens all the time.
@@chrisg5219 have seen it happen.
@@haba1715 Seriously, I get how you feel and I used to react that way to TV and movies, but for a while I read a couple of police tactical blogs for kicks and... yeah, turns out this is all surprisingly normal.
You know how they say Jeopardy is like 100 times easier at home, because you're not on the spot on a hot stage with everybody watching and ten of thousands of dollars at stake? Yeah. Imagine that... only the "question" is two bullets and if you get it wrong, you die.
This is why combat training is a thing in the first place, so they can be good and sure they drill all that very natural human panic out of you BEFORE you get shot at for real. A bunch of mooks in Atlantic City? Yeah, no, they're not gonna have that training. It seems totally realistc to me that Harrow is mentally present for the whole thing in a way the others aren't.
Jimmy could’ve been a badass like that with some discipline and direction
He definitely cleaned house...
Great tilt at 1:23 -- makes him feel like he's descending deeper into hell
Go Richard, go ~
Wow Richard.. 1930s terminator. (Love this awesome character.) 😊😊😊😊
Bro has got that plot armor on thick
the original quickscoper
I would love to see a prequel for Harrow from Wahlberg and Scorsese
Literally my favorite character in the entire series. Richard was a badass
And this is minus an eye.
This is why I was thinking the entire time. He did all this with one eye.
he's basically in permanent aiming mode, that's why he keeps using the scope on his rifle too! yet another reason he scares the shit out of me
music played in the background? sounds so angelic and fits the scene perfectly
Reminds me of goldeneye for some reason. Lol
The song is What'll I Do by Irving Berlin. It is actually a melancholy song, but somehow it fits the scene. I love when the record is skipping from all the gunfire and people moving😅
I saw the way the was moving the barrel and laughed my ass off at the ending
Richard Harrow was an absolute menace ! At this point he had too have at least 80 bodies to is name
Yeah, 80 is his total kills in the entire series. Sorry, I hate to nerd out on you, on here; 9 episodes earlier he says to Nucky that he has killed 63 people. Then I counted 12 at the shootout and he kills an extra 5 in season 4. Guess that means he killed out 55 German soldiers🤓
Richard.Harrow loved that child
Dude has a left hand draw but only has his right eye
By today's standards this action scene vould be considered slow and "wrong". That would miss the point anyway: richard is a trained one man army during the peak of his redention arc, he's saving the boy killing scumbags that are no match for him. They are tughs ruling with fear and violence over people that cannot defend themself, when a warrior shows up the get sloughtered.
Probably today we would shot this action scene in a jhon wick stile, but the end result would be the same. If somebody complains about how "it's slow and outdated" he's missing the point.
A pure soldier.
That’s what the player character in a video game looks like. Needlessly switching between different weapons, including a scoped rifle indoors and everyone else got stormtrooper aim 😂
It was a lot of theatre for a character that is supposed to be stoic.
@@CH3FFI3he’s not stoic when it comes to Tommy or his family though… so the whole point it they’ve driven a usually calm, stoic and rational man to do this by taking Tommy.
@@bradenharris8718 you've totally misunderstood the 'scope' of the conversation.
Love the camera work on the stairs
All the other gangsters with a gun and no one shoots back
And those perfectly sculpted eyebrows on a manly man expert shooter from the early 20th century?! Classic.
One of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite series, especially when he saves the kid. Though I would have taken him with the rifle the second I was through the door.
The scene in The Last of Us, when Joel saves Ellie, is similar to this scene. Both are well done.
Except Joel was the bad guy in that scene.
@@PhilipPetrunakwas he?
He shoots the rifle properly! But how does he shoot his revolver left handed, if he is missing his left eye ?
Don’t give this guy an ar15
The Cleaning lady is going to be so pissed...
Jon Cryer was born in New York City, NY in 1965.
Amazing 👍🏻👍🏽👍
Richard was a Bad Motor Finger. Him and Van Alden were the surprise characters I rooted for. Great Actors!
He points the shotgun with one hand it makes a sound like someone racked the slide before it fires
He's so good his guns cock themselves out of respect
Trained professional killer
That's a lot of no scope right there.
Best part of Boardwalk
Though not fully realistic ofc. It does add realism that Harrow was saved by the fact that the gangsters automatically assumed it was a full scale assault by many people. Spreading out and taking defensive positions. If they had known it was only him they would have gotten him rather easy. Surprise and panic plays a role but more importantly - they immediately acted on the premise there were multiple attackers. Which went heavily in Harrow's favor.
Yes, I totally agree. Harrow's non-chalant directness no doubt signaled to the gangsters many more were behind him.
