films / movies > 1982 > Walter Hill's '48 hours'

 

Scene in Redneck Bar

Cates's jokey sadism,

which involves tossing

every imaginable racial epithet at Reggie

to see if he can get a rise out of this supercool convict

(he can't, and eventually he apologizes),

produces a scene destined to become a classic,

in which Reggie bets Cates that he can singlehandedly

subdue the patrons of a large redneck bar.

 

''It makes me sick just to be in here,''

declares Reggie,

glaring at the Confederate flag on the wall

and - it would seem

 utterly destroying his chances of leaving the place

in one piece.
