    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Albert H. Wolff, the last survivor of the real-life Untouchables, was a consultant on this movie, and helped Kevin Costner with his portrayal of Eliot Ness.
    • Goofs
      The prosecutor is called a "district attorney." District attorneys are state prosecutors, but federal crimes, such as income tax evasion, are prosecuted by federal prosecutors, not state prosecutors. Furthermore, Illinois has state's attorneys, not district attorneys.
    • Quotes

      Malone: [talking privately in a church] You said you wanted to get Capone. Do you really wanna get him? You see what I'm saying is, what are you prepared to do?

      Ness: Anything within the law.

      Malone: And *then* what are you prepared to do? If you open the can on these worms you must be prepared to go all the way. Because they're not gonna give up the fight, until one of you is dead.

      Ness: I want to get Capone! I don't know how to do it.

      Malone: You wanna know how to get Capone? They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. *That's* the *Chicago* way! And that's how you get Capone. Now do you want to do that? Are you ready to do that? I'm offering you a deal. Do you want this deal?

      Ness: I have sworn to capture this man with all legal powers at my disposal and I will do so.

      Malone: Well, the Lord hates a coward.

      [jabs Ness with his hand, and Ness shakes it]

      Malone: Do you know what a blood oath is, Mr. Ness?

      Ness: Yes.

      Malone: Good, 'cause you just took one.

    • Alternate versions
      In Belgium the first release in the theaters omitted the scene where Al Capone hits one of his henchmen with a base-ball bat. Two weeks after its release the scene was restored. Cinemas announced this to be the 'uncensored version'.

    Awesome
    Somehow, I just got around to this film after over thirty years. Kevin Costner plays the federal agent Elliot Ness. He pursues Al Capone during Prohibition. His main partner is Sean Connery as a Beat cop in 1930 Chicago. Robert DeNiro is Capone and all three are great. Connery won an Oscar. Ironically, it was tax evasion that was Capone's downfall. This is not a spoiler, as everyone knows the old story. Even so, the Untouchables is a violent and funny adventure. The script is precise and Brian DePalma's direction is as good as expected; never a dull moment. The two hours just flies by.

    FAQ10

    • Malone carries around a St Jude's medal attached to his "call box key". What's the key for?
    • The story takes place during "Prohibition" -- what was Prohibition?
    • Why does Malone provoke Stone at the shooting range?
