During the climatic scene in a Boston bar in The Departed, Jack Nicholson decided to eschew safety concerns and pull a real, loaded gun on Leonardo DiCaprio to try and get as much real emotion out of him as possible. Why would he do such a thing? Because he’s fucking Jack Nicholson, that’s why.

Speaking to the NY Post, director Martin Scorsese says:

“He didn’t tell me he had a gun. It was great … we took a lot out, but Leo’s reaction is real-time. I still get chills when Nicholson says, ‘I smell a rat.’ It’s so real to me.”

Clip in question is split into two minute long segments for some reason:
