Film Title
The Untouchable

Review
One of the best mafia movies, loosely based on true events in the prohibition era. Great, exciting crime thriller, great acting, cinematography and music. Good performances by Sean Connery, Robert De Niro and rest of the cast.

Box office
Budget - $25,000,000 (estimated)
Worldwide - $106,200,000

Trivia
Albert H. Wolff, the last survivor of the real-life Untouchables, was a consultant on this film, and helped Kevin Costner with his portrayal of Eliot Ness.

Robert De Niro tracked down Al Capone's original tailors and had them make him some identical clothing for the film.

Despite the final courtroom scene in this film, the real Al Capone and Eliot Ness never came face-to-face during their battles.

Goofs
When Oscar runs through the leaking barrel on the bridge, his clothes are completely dry afterward.

During the bridge shootout, a barrel of whisky stops leaking but then starts up again.

One of Capone's men has the accountant hostage. Capone's man is sweating a lot as he counts to three; his sweat vanishes as the bullet enters his mouth.

Quotes
Malone: [to Ness on the walkway underneath a bridge] You just fulfilled the first rule of law enforcement: make sure when your shift is over you go home alive. Here end the lesson.

Mountie Captain: [under the impression Malone shot a man in the mouth while he was still alive] Mr. Ness! I do not approve of your methods!
Ness: Yeah, well... You're not from Chicago.

Malone: [upon meeting each other for the first time] You, you carry a badge?
Agent Oscar Wallace: Yes?
Malone: [gives him a shotgun] Carry a gun.

Capone: [to reporters] People are gonna drink! You know that, I know that, we all know that, and all I do is act on that. And all this talk of bootlegging - what is bootlegging? On a boat, it's bootlegging. On Lake Shore Drive, it's hospitality. I'm a businessman!

Ness: I wanna hurt the man, Malone. You hear me? I wanna start taking the battle to him. I wanna hurt Capone!
