“By some miracle, I made it home alive. Not a scratch on me or the car”, Claims Jordan, only to later find out that he had in fact totalled the car completely. here
We see how selfish Jordan really is, as he’s quite willing to risk the lives of everyone in order to get his money. Seconds after the discussion about whether to travel or not, it cuts to the boat in turbulent and treacherous conditions -the multi-million dollar yacht being flung about like a toy. [links]
He decides that the only way to make it to his Lamborghini is to crawl. The only problem is the stairs. After pondering the small set for a while, he comes up with the ingenious plan to roll down them. The 20 steps we originally see is Jordan’s view,but the 5 we see him falling down is the reality. After getting down, he somehow manages to clamber into his super car, propping the door open with his foot before crawling in. here
The crazed Jordan grabs hold of wife Naomi and declares that he is a “master diver” and that “no one is going to fucking die”. He whispers to Donnie to go and get the Leuds so that he can have one last one. “I AM NOT GOING TO DIE SOBER”, shouts Jordan. This scene again portrays how selfish Jordan is. He sends best friend Donnie out just so he can get high, knowing that Donnie may very likely die. [links]
Jordan is impressed with the respect Hannah is given in the bar. He orders drinks to the precise minute and his cocktail is made to his exact specifications. You sense that the young Jordan strives to one day command this sort of respect.
The scheme cost victims of Belfort's brokerage, Stratton Oakmont, $110 million. Today, Belfort is a motivational speaker.�

"I had no idea who Kyle Chandler was," Coleman said. "I knew I would be OK, though. The ladies would come up to me in the office and say, 'Who's playing you in the movie?' 'Kyle Chandler.' And they'd go, 'Ooooh.'"

"Belfort did not sell stocks," Coleman said. "He sold a story. If he told a good story, you would buy the stocks."

Some scenes, Coleman said, are purely fictional, such as the bribery scene on the boat. Others are a mix of truth and fiction, such as the arrest of Belfort's drug dealer, Brad Bodnick [portrayed by Jon Bernthal]. While based on a real person, Todd Garret, the arrest itself was because of money laundering, not drugs, Coleman said.�

The FBI never did get to seize Belfort's 175-foot yacht. But the agency did seize a beach house in tony Southampton, New York, which Belfort purchased with insurance money.
First off, it wasn't some fame-seeking ingénue who sat down in that impromptu barber's chair. She didn't give up her hair for a chance to meet Scorsese or the film's star Leonardo DiCaprio. In fact, she'd known DiCaprio for years, being a sister to a good friend of his. Her name is Natasha Newman Thomas. She's a Los Angeles-based stylist, and this beautiful women gave up her locks solely for the cinema. more
Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street has been at the center of a major debate with fans calling it an cutting criticism of the American drive for excess, and detractors declaring it a glorification of the very debauchery it claims to critique. No matter which side of the debate you stand on, you can probably recall one scene where the repercussions of Jordan Belfort's reckless hedonism are made clear for one brief but unforgettable moment. I'm speaking of course of the scene where a female employee of his firm has her head shaved in front of hundreds of men hooting like animals so she might get $10,000 for a boob job.
As someone who regularly took an electric shaver to her scalp in college, I watched that scene thinking, "They didn't fake this. This woman was absolutely shaved." But thanks to the investigative work of Vanity Fair's Katie Calautti, we now know all the gritty details of this unnerving sequence. I highly recommend you read her terrific piece in full, but we'll break down its major points below.
Adding to her potential anxieties, it wasn't a professional hair stylist who would be administering this cut. Instead, it'd be actor P.J. Byrne who was playing Rugrat. To prepare, Kriston set Byrne up with the very powerful electric razor in advance, and let him shave wigs to get a feel for it. To keep her stress level as low as possible, Scorsese stayed away, watching everything unfold via monitor so his presence wouldn't overwhelm her. But once they go the shot, Marty personally came out to thank her, and "everybody congratulated her."
"We wanted the film to be this hallucinogenic ride, this roller coaster," DiCaprio said during a press conference for "The Wolf of Wall Street" on Sunday in New York. "That scene specifically was almost like a day in the life of two schnooks who took way too many drugs. To me, it was almost like a small film within the film. We kind of treated it that way." more
Leonardo DiCaprio has frequently compared "The Wolf of Wall Street" to "a modern-day 'Caligula,'" but one of the Martin Scorsese film's highlights owes more to Jerry Lewis than the depraved Roman emperor.
Based on Jordan Belfort's scandalous memoir of sex, drugs and Wall Street chicanery, "The Wolf of Wall Street" is loaded with the type of scenes that keep members of the Motion Picture Association of American up at night: full-frontal female nudity, same-sex orgies, S&M, and enough narcotics use to make "Scarface" look like a family comedy. One such drug sequence finds the wolf of the film's title, Jordan Belfort (DiCaprio), and his best friend (Jonah Hill) taking an excessive amount of Quaaludes and suffering the consequences. For Belfort, that means an episode of near paralysis while away from his home, and the ensuing struggle that occurs as he tries to make it back.
DiCaprio's techniques worked to Scorsese's liking: the director compared his lead actor's physical prowess to the aforementioned Lewis as well as Jacques Tati. Rob Reiner, who plays DiCaprio's onscreen father, agreed.
