The scene plays out differently than the actual autobiography. Malcolm wanted to prove a point to Shorty, Rudy, Sophia and her sister. He had one bullet in the chamber. He wanted to show that you shouldn’t cross a man that’s not afraid to die
I wonder if they had some disagreements or if Malcolm just wanted to make a statement. Because on their first gang meeting, he said he deliberately sat on the bed away from them so he could to this, so he had planed to do it beforehand
@@Demarcointuit had to bc I watched to close no one thing in the scene showed him cuffing the bullet total stupidity but displayed guts & heart at the same time 💯👿 in the movie version anyways!! Lol
Super interesting how he explains what he really did if you read the book. He actually slipped the revolver into his pocket and was only holding the bullet the entire time! Very intelligent and crafty maneuver.
It's been many years since I read the book but as I remember it, Shorty who was Spike Lee's character guessed that he had really palmed the bullet in the movie but in his autobiograph Malcolm never told Shorty that he palmed the bullet and he didn't know. As told in the book Shorty acted leery towards him after that...again if I remember correctly
1:07 it's a dud the primers already been struck but they don't know it also at 2:32 you can see the bullet is one chamber to the left of the barrel meaning he fired it already the last trigger pull since Smith and Wessons rotate counter-clockwise.
SPIKE IS MASTERCLASS 4 HIS CERTAIN MUSICAL SCORES TO EVERY SCENE INA MOVIE, EVEN ALL THE WAY DOWN TO TH CERTAIN LYRICS AND OR SOUNDS OF TH MUSICAL SCORE THAT PLAYS EXACTLY AT CERTAIN MOMENTS OF A SCENE!
should have won best actor for this scene alone. Pacino won it that year for scent of a woman, outstanding performance but this scene, only Denzel can pull this off
@@csgopro1103 Those of us who had already read Malcolm X's autobiography knew that before even seeing that scene. Also in the autobiography and assumably the actual version of events, Malcolm never told Shorty that he cuffed the bullet as he did in the movie, that version apparently was only added to the movie to reveal to the audience that he cuffed the bullet
Crazy part is he was so fast and slick that he palmed the bullet without anyone noticing the switch he even says so in his Biography it’s called “The AutoBiography of Malcolm X as told TO Alex Haley” Haley spent years with X before his death and extensively spent time with his family to confirm things MR.X had told him and also to get THEIR point of view of how things went down I highly suggest reading it if your into reading it is one of the only books that once I picked it up I could NOT stop reading
A friend of mine played this game. He was so good at it he only lost once.

Oh wow 😂
Bro....are you alright?

@@martyhurst134 He pretended to cuff the bullet for Shorty

If you read the epilogue, he tells Alex Haley he cuffed the bullet 😂

huh? do you mean he slipped the bullet into his pocket?

I remember reading the book in prison it was a great biography
Nothing more dangerous in this world than a man who isn't afraid to die
Yeah, but a lot get smoked righteously
how about a man who's a woman? that seems pretty dangerous because they tend to abuse children.
"Rudy, don't you ever cross a man who's not afraid to die, you understand?"
BOLD QUESTION!!!
That's definitely real talk 💯
It’s amazing that these 2 guys are cousins. One was in the Army and the other controlled the market of H.
underrated comment
You’re the goat for this
Why is it amazing?
They are both in American Gangster 2007
😂😂shut up fool..only because they cousins in America Gansta dosnt mean they really cousins 😂
So it seems that Malcolm x was an absolute mad lad
Archishman Goswami it was a trick, the bullet fell into his hand
Bruce Wayne he broke every rule of firearms safety he is a stupid dumbfuck
Bruce Wayne it’s still a felony.
Creepy joe it’s a movie dumb fuck 🤣🤦🏾♂️
@@brothacharlesward8
It’s a movie based on his life.
I will never play that game.
Darius Green never
Rod Williams that game is dangerous.
only idiot nutjobs play that shit, ever seen 187 ?
Save that game for white folks...they like adrenaline rushes remember?
I was thinking the same
"You got it, you got it...." All time movie quote!!!
In Training day Denzel was like : “make a decision.... rite or left Nut”
Make a decision make a decisionnnnnn
@@j.r.6670 LMAO

Da nigga side or da wop side?
Excellent actor look at the films and rolls his been in says it all
LOL that moan at 2:41 tho
LMAO
LMFAO
Broooooo lmaoo
Omfg LMAO
Sound like she just cummed that was lowkey sexy
The slight tritch in denzel's eyes when he pulls the trigger the 2nd time. Fantastic acting. If thats what you wanna call it.
Could be a natural twitch
“I did 2 so I owe You 2” lol
Only denzeil can play this scene so perfectly lmao 🤣
1:07 it's a dud the primers already been struck but they don't know it also at 2:32 you can see the bullet is one chamber to the left of the barrel meaning he fired it already the last trigger pull since Smith and Wessons rotate counter-clockwise.
this is the most gangster scene in the history of film. Bar none.
Denzel is a fuckin legend. Has there ever been a movie with Samuel L Jackson and Denzel Washington?
2 years before this, in 1990 in Spike Lee's Mo' Better Blues, though they only had one scene together
Lol the way Denzel was eating the orange is exactly how I eat oranges lol
With a revolver 😂
What's so specific about it ?
They was shooketh 😂😂😂
I'm the 1th reply!
You would be too
😂😂😭😭😭😭😭😭you stupid 💯💯💯💯
Somebody please give Spike his Oscar for this movie and Denzel
"M...M...M....MMMOOOOKKKIIIEEE" 🤣🤣
Watched this scene for years without ever realizing this was Malcolm X lol
This is how you elect a reliable leader lmao
He literally cheated

SPIKE IS MASTERCLASS 4 HIS CERTAIN MUSICAL SCORES TO EVERY SCENE INA MOVIE, EVEN ALL THE WAY DOWN TO TH CERTAIN LYRICS AND OR SOUNDS OF TH MUSICAL SCORE THAT PLAYS EXACTLY AT CERTAIN MOMENTS OF A SCENE!
Still pulled the trigger even when he gave in hahaha
Best actor period
Denzel man...never ever will there be another Denzel
...malcom was crazy as my big brother seeing a game like this played will divide you
Off top, Denzel’s greatest performance ever
Denzel & Spike are missing an Oscar should have won best male actor & best director
I'm eating an orange and it reminded me of this scene, so here I am. Haha.
I remember that game
That's one bad tigger... had me flipping 😈
He can be lucky the gun didn't went off. It would have been so embarrassing for him.
If you read the book he tells you how he did it.
Well we all can't be Special like you and read the book.
Michael Naz 😂😂😂
How he did it?
Luke Work he kept the bullet in his hand.
@@michaelnaz6457 yes you can. Just buy it
Red is craziness got him the job.
Roger Smith is brilliant.
Bible study is a must for me my life. My wife Kelly said we are full time Christians.
best part is that he's using a five chambered revolver.
Malcolms girl knew it was over for Rudy instantly
should have won best actor for this scene alone. Pacino won it that year for scent of a woman, outstanding performance but this scene, only Denzel can pull this off
2:39 And She "came"
He never had a bullet in the gun. It was in his hand
You're right, only those who read Malcolm X's autobiography knew that.
@@rovingwarrior3710 You found that out later in the movie.

I’m confused. you clearly see him put a round in one of the chambers! How was it not in the gun?
How
Damn spike Lee really hates Italians
My church at my wife farm we read the Bible. Every Sunday. Morning
This is a great scene
They worked as well on American gangster. Zel and the other dude have amazing on screen chemistry. ✊🏿
Crazy part is he was so fast and slick that he palmed the bullet without anyone noticing the switch he even says so in his Biography it’s called “The AutoBiography of Malcolm X as told TO Alex Haley” Haley spent years with X before his death and extensively spent time with his family to confirm things MR.X had told him and also to get THEIR point of view of how things went down I highly suggest reading it if your into reading it is one of the only books that once I picked it up I could NOT stop reading
that moment malcolm x became the deer hunter
I love 👑👑👑☠️russian roulette ☠️ 👑👑👑
American gangster scene same
GrimReefer and training day alley scene
i wouldn't be too scared either if my rounds had spent primers lol
I like this scene
This good Sean. Nice
Malcolm Little was a messed-up individual at one point... You can see why he needed Islam.
Dane Youssef islam is a lie
Isn't any religion?
Dane Youssef no
Lucas Hammond Christianity is a lie also. All religion could be a lie.
Blue101 Blue102 Muhammad couldn't read or write the language in which the Qur'an was originally written.
Spike Lee couldn’t have found any other actor to play Malcolm than Denzel
Lol @ the swing type jazz in the background in the moment of life and death
smart or crazy or balls out combination?
1:38 Rudy should know where the bullet is he's looking down at it right there !
I think Rudy knew the whole time, he was just playing along.
So he’s purposely humiliating himself???
@@mtdouthit1291 He was just playing mind games with Red.
2:41 you hear her lol
Still doesn't look closely like Malcom X It just feels Ike a Denzel film do to his performance
My Man
With the fallout music playing in the background.
Dam I didn't know malcolm was a gangsta🤣
Yep
1:07 The primer has already been struck by a firing pin
2:40 I can’t tell if that lady was scared or turned on
Dangerous but he took the 2 best shots odds wise lol
i can see a little Alonso here from training dAY
To be honest this is how some people join gangs
Denzel looked like Asap Rocky when he was younger, both from Uptown, (NYC)
Chuck Norris play this with six bullets
2:32 even though later we find out he palmed the bullet you can see one in the chamber right here 😬
They played together in American Gangster
He didn’t actually put the bullet in he said in later years. He palmed the bullet
Malcolm X (1992)
Damn Denzel
.,
I was your 300th sub
0:14 when he doesn’t realize that he fucked up...
I live well blessed. I go to church every Sunday
You don't wanna flip?
Let me show you how, I'll do it again.
Aaaahhhh hahaha yes!!
You don't wanna flip rudy? Nah you don't do you. I'll help you

Rudy says I got it 😂
Lol I
