Opening scene of Way of the Gun, with Benicio del Toro and Ryan Philippe (played by Bryan Appleyard and Nige), ex-cons, arousing mob hostility. This is certainly one of the greatest opening scenes of all time, though sadly the rest of the film becomes a bit pretentious and mannered. Bonehead and i often used to discuss the nuances of this scene and given his habit of physically manhandling people out of his way, or being pretty insulting to total strangers, we would often contemplate the likelihood of just such a mob action ensuing to our detriment.
