Joe Pescis brilliance

I just have to make a thread because I'm to impressed. I've always thought Pesci is a wonderful actor but he really caught me off guard here. He is wonderfully funny in all three LW films he made but here the frog speech at the end added so much to the Leo character that I'm blown away. Wonderful writing and superb acting. Had to be said.

The way Joe Pesci managed to do both goofy and dead serious roles always impressed me. Great actor.

The Fror scene is one of the best in the film for sure. One of the great poignant moments of the series. It is too bad the rest of the film doesn't measure up.

Pescis was at his best in Lethal Weapon 2, was disappointing in Lethal Weapon 3 due to the bad writing, and was restored to his great self in Lethal Weapon 4.
