movie clip
This has to be one of the greatest scenes in cinema history. I can't imagine the amount of coordination it took to pull this off in a way where it seemed so authentic.

And it was one continuous shot which is also very impressive.

Touch of Evil (1958) The Opening Sequence.
Many imitators like Scorsese, none as good as this long-take.

"21 year old" Ray Liotta 
Amazing scene though, I agree.

Great call on Touch of Evil. I believe Altman paid homage to that shot in The Player.
First shot of Boogie Nights is also up there.

Children of men has its share …. But not much matches the kinetic and chaotic energy of the kitchen tracking shot in the history of film (and the perfect song to lead the way)

In The Player's opening shot, Walter Stuckel (Fred Ward) lauds the long opening shot of "Touch of Evil" while talking to Jimmy Chase (Paul Hewitt), then mentions the movie again in a conversation with Buck Henry a few minutes later.

Shout out to the cameraman for doing all that following in those close quarters so fluidly---down steps, around corners, navigating a commercial kitchen with all that activity going on.
No up and down movement, just nice smooth action from start to finish----and those cameras are not exactly small pieces of equipment.

The opening scene of 1917 is similar. Very well done.

This was basically Brooks Koepka walking to the clubhouse after winning the PGA

It's a great representation into how women think. You can be a giant pos or bad guy, but if you are rich, have power, and other men respect you, they want to be with you.

It's an amazing shot, no doubt, which required detailed blocking and coordination, but you know it utilized a steadicam, right?

I had one place in Dallas where I could bypass the line. If you walked past the line at Campisi's, in the door and sat at the bar for drinks, they'd seat at the next available table. I didn't really know anyone there, but they knew my face enough to talk like they knew me. If I wanted to impress someone I would do that.
That Touch of Evil scenee would be easier today with a drone. Them getting as high up as they did at one point is super impressive.

That's what I was going to post. The cameraman basically just walked behind them taking their steps, but it still doesn't take away from how amazing the shot is. Ray Liotta even ran into a table accidentally at one point but it added even more realness to the shot. It was like the buildup of walking through the kitchen to get in the club was so exciting that even a small blooper couldn't make the audience blink

Don't know it was an accident. I thought it was intentional to add to the shot
