Over 20 years ago, Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke teamed up for Training Day, the crime thriller about a rookie LAPD officer who learns over the course of a day how corrupt his senior partner is. One of this flick’s most memorable scenes (and SPOILER alert for those who haven’t seen one of the best movies of the 2000s) is when Washington’s character, Alonzo Harris, angrily exclaims “King Kong ain’t got shit on me!” while threatening the inhabitants of a neighborhood that he’d once controlled, but have now turned their backs on him. While recalling shooting that iconic scene, director Antoine Fuqua shared the major concern he had about it on his end of the filmmaking process.
