The game of Russian roulette in a Vietnamese prison camp
This is one of the "tension" scenes that we see so often in movies, but this one seems to rise above the rest. Robert De Niro and Christopher Walken are prisoners of war in a Vietnamese prison camp and are forced to play a game of Russian roulette by their captors, who are betting on the outcome. They pass the gun back and forth, placing it to their head and pulling the trigger, knowing that a bullet is in there somewhere. Both De Niro and Walken endure it once, until finally De Niro begins shooting the captors to end the torture. But it is definitely one of the most tension filled scenes in film history, especially due to the performances by De Niro and Walken. |
