    A black comedy filmed by John Houston in his later years, based on gangsters. The director's daughter, Angelica Houston, won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her unique performance. What's interesting is that, just like in the movie, she and Nicholson had just broken up at the time, which is an out-and-out artistic imitation of life. This film is reminiscent of "Smiths". The director and actors performed very well, but there are some...

    The film won the 58th Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress and was nominated for Best Picture, Director, Actor, Supporting Actor, Adapted Screenplay, Editing and Costume Design. That knife flew really well. As a female killer, that shot is really...

    The foreshadowing is good, but the ending is so...

    I remember watching the dubbed film from CCTV at that time, I was particularly impressed by the throwing knife scene in the final showdown, and I was very sad about the...

    Barely passing. Turner is so beautiful here. The snakes and scorpions in her two scenes are actually sweet. Houston has a good control. This film is a good example of a good combination of events and relationships. The protagonist and the killer love each other and maintain individual positions, but the destiny is ultimately driven by the logic of the gang over the head. Mafia movies, the subject matter is often involuntarily described by people in the arena. This film is a mixture of comedy...

    It's a perfect movie. Although Nicholson didn't have any acting skills, his lips were stretched and he spoke in Italian English. The conflict between family interests, honor and personal feelings. In the film, the pale and thin white-faced demon image of the godfather is added more than Marlon Brando. It is suspected that the Smiths were inspired by this movie. The ending is even more...

    If it weren’t for my obsessive-compulsive disorder patch plan, I would not watch this kind of stupid film in the late years of John Houston, and laying this playful love theme in the gang story is simply too out of tune, and there is only Angelie. Card Houston is worth seeing Nicholson is not acting well at...

    The movie itself is not particularly bad, but so many titles of the main Oscars really make me incomprehensible. Most of the scenes in the film are mediocre, and a few scenes seem to be very mentally retarded. In the end, the pistol can't hit the knife and it is an insult to my IQ. However, the film still has merits, at least the performance is good, but Angelica's performance is not to the level of winning the award, the male pairing is very...

    Who translated the dragon and phoenix pretty enemy? ! Who set the label "comedy"? ! Who said it is similar to the Smiths? ! It's a noir film that is completely cold to the end! ! ! Ps Katherine Turner flashed small benefits. I've been the best actress in Ps, but there are not many...

Prizzi's Honor quotes

  • Charley Partanna: Do I ice her? Do I marry her?

  • [Charlie is telling Maerose about Irene]

    Charley Partanna: I met her in a church. It just happened. I knew she was the woman for me. She'd organized the scam in Vegas. I go looking for the bad guy and it turns out to be my woman, can you imagine this? Not only that - Pop tells me she's the piece man for the Nettabino contract. Just the same, I love her, Mae... I love her.

    Maerose Prizzi: Well...

    Charley Partanna: How can I live with this? I gotta do something about it. I gotta straighten it out.

    Maerose Prizzi: Then do.

    Charley Partanna: Do what? Do I ice her? Do I marry her? Which one of these?

    Maerose Prizzi: Marry her, Charley. Just because she's a thief and a hitter doesn't mean she's not a good woman in all the other departments. If she was some kind of fashion model, well it wouldn't last more than thirty days. But you and she is in the same line of business. You are lucky you found each other, you know that, Charley?

    Charley Partanna: Yeah, I guess.

    Maerose Prizzi: She's an American! She had a chance to make a buck so she grabbed it. Marry her, Charley. Then at least I'll be able to get something out of it... I'll be able to go back in the family.

    Charley Partanna: Yeah.
