Yeah it was disturbing and sad to watch because the guy didn't do anything. Restaurants are such a fun place, and serve

I really enjoyed that scene, it was great! The Japanese guy will now learn when to keep his mouth shut.
Nice night for a walk

yeah. i found it disturbing. and it was supposed to be.
not sure if people understand how fragile the human body is. assaults like that could be deadly. or crippling.

No, not really. It's brutal but kind of humorous. Your watching a film about mobsters what do you expect. Worse happens every day in real life.

I've seen Donnie Brasco probably 10 times and the scene where they bash the Japanese guy in the tiolet of the Japanese restaurant never gets any easier for me. Everytime I mention this to others who have seen this film, I get the impression that nobody else is as affected by the scene as me. Anyone else find that scene DEEPLY disturbing?
I agree with you. More than any other scene in this genre I think that this gives a good demonstration of what brutally violent bullies these people actually are. What they did was savagely beat someone because he insisted that they honor the rules of the establishment. So far as we know this man had no connection whatsoever to the mob or any other criminal activityhe just made the mistake of insisting that this bunch of thugs respect his right to run his business the way that he choses.

I did, but I found the scene more laughable than disturbing. I found it funny that all the guy wanted is that Donnie gets his shoes off, and those guys beat him up for that.

No, because a) it's just a bunch of actors playing dress-up-and-pretend, and b) in real life it never happened (no mention of it in Pistone''s book).

Lol, 11 years late to this thread But, yes sort of! I was wondering if anyone mentioned it on here & looks like you did! I agree it was quite disturbing, & yeah yeah - It's just a movie, it didn't really happen, there are worse scenes out there. But idk, I was sort of shocked, i think mostly because of the dialogue, & much less the violence (i know, how weird lmao), but at the same time, not really, since it was integral to the film in a way.
