       I just watched an Italian mafia movie from the ‘70s that starts with the protagonist hit man whacking a rival by sneaking into the projection booth of the porno theater the rival is watching a skin flick in and shooting him through the window of the booth with a frigging grenade launcher, and I can only say this: if you are ever making a movie and have an idea that incredible, save it for the ending

       @jalefkowit Isn't that in direct contradiction with the Goldwyn Mayer rule that states: "I Want a Film that Begins with an Earthquake and Works Up to a Climax"?Starting a movie with a rocket launcher assassination is a bold move anyway...( I kid, I kid, since this rule is probably not true anyway: https://quoteinvestigator.com/2015/07/21/earthquake/ )

       The movie in question, btw. You can stream it on the Criterion Channel https://letterboxd.com/film/the-boss-1973/

       Some movies understand this, such as BLOOD DEBTS (1985) https://youtu.be/f4WahSHUDxc
