"Love the enthusiasm Jack, but the line is 'I'm very angry with you'"
top ten moments when actors were not acting
😂 nice
brilliant haha
The funny thing is Jack wasn't acting in the moment... jk😅😂
"Now you can end the scene there, but if you keep the camera rolling..."
Love how the judge tells him he doesn't have to answer the question but he just goes right on incriminating himself.
Reminds of an orange traitor that was just found guilty.
That was all part of Kaffee’s plan. He knew Jessup had a fuse and was prideful and egotistical so he kept egging him on until the bomb went off and Jessup did the rest
@@titusorelius9458the only traitor is Biden and the Democrat party
@@titusorelius9458Rent free
@@titusorelius9458who was the orange traitor? What did he betray? Can you clarify so there is no confusion?
Imagine you are the director or screen writer for this film and you see Jack Nicholson bring the script to life like this. Doesn’t get better.
this scene was actually done a number of times before this take.
One of the best movies ever. Slow tension build, great character development, and stellar acting.
Actually wish there was a different take on the "you fucked with the wrong marine" bit. Bad camera angle and Jackman do better
@@brandonkylemarks yeah I agree, it didn’t have the same intensity
@@johne1743 Every party has a pooper🙄
Everyone knows the "I want the truth -- You can't handle the truth" like. But the reason its so iconic is Nicholson's speech following it. The following 60 seconds is absolutely outstanding acting.
I didn't notice him blink at all the entire time
and because Colonel Jessup is correct.
yeah, JACK is so great that you forget his character killed a weak man instead of letting him go. He's so convincing that it takes me a few to realize he's the villain in this😅
@@michaelcovel1633 there's a speech in the stage version that sums up Jesup's REAL attitude, and most people don't realize that no, he was NOT justified or even well-intentioned.
Kaffee: You trashed the law! But hey, we understand, you're permitted. You have a greater responsibility than we can possibly fathom. You provide us with a blanket of freedom. We live in a world that has walls and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns, and nothing is going to stand in your way of doing it. Not Willie Santiago, not Dawson and Downey, not Markinson, not 1,000 armies, not the , and not the ! That's the truth, isn't it, Colonel? I can handle it.
He violated every law and code that he as a Marine is expected to uphold. All for his ego.
@@seanwieland9763 which part was he right about?
"Did you order the Code Red???" "NO, I ASKED FOR BAJA BLAST!!!"
😂😂😂😂
Underrated. 🏆🎖🎉
Solid!😂
YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE BLAST!
"GUILTY!!"
The fact that Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson didn’t win an Oscar for this performance is criminal. The acting is absolutely perfection and Jack’s delivery of “YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH” gives me chills every time. One of the greatest scenes in cinema history.
Tom wasn't nominated, and Jack lost to Gene Hackman for his role in "Unforgiven." An extremely difficult choice, but I hope you can recognize Hackman's outstanding performance as well as Nicholson's.
@@pcbacklash_3261 This movie is great but Unforgiven is just an incredible western movie. I gotta give it to Hackman but they both killed it with some unparalleled acting.
Didn't some well-known toxic Lib have something to say about this? I may have read somewhere that this film was supposed to be an anti-war, anti-freedom, Rob Reiner-type bull$hit film, but ended up gathering support from the pro-2A, Pro-Freedom, Pro-Constitution folks. Love the Film, especially Nicholson. What a Pro Actor....
Coincidentally, and it's a HUGE coincidence considering you posted this 8 days ago, I watched both movies on the same day 10 days ago, and I gotta go with Jack on this one. They both played the role of a terrible bastard perfectly, but Jack's bastard was better than Hackman's bastard imo
Oscars or not, Tom Cruise has been the world's biggest movie star for 4 decades.
Tom has a worldwide of $12.1 billion and he starred in some of the most famous movies ever made.
One of my favorite scenes before this last act was Cruise chugging that entire glass of water like, "Fuck it, All in! I'm either getting fired or I'm ending this man's whole career!"
I know, right?! Makes me chuckle a little. "This is it, Kaffee!!!" (heart thumping)
Not just fired. Accusing a higher officer especially a General of a standing as Jessep is illegal and he would be court martialed himself. He *had* to get that confession the moment he put the generals actions under disrepute, he stuck his neck way out for his clients big time. That’s why he’s so shocked and relieved when he gets it.
@@princeytronaccusing a colonel is illegal ??? So, these POS can do whatever they want without any consequences because they are high ranked officers ??? Our planet is a dump.
@@gargouenzene Accusing a colnlet without *evidence* is illegal. And they had no evidence of wrongdoing when they started questioning him. The only witness killed himself out of guilt. The airmen he called didn’t have any evidence to impune the colonel. But when he began his questioning he was immedately basically accusing the colonel of ordering the Code Red. Without any other evidence, he had no choice but to get a confession out of him if he wanted to get a convinction.
Accusing a high officer of a crime *with* evience is not illegal, I worded my original coemment slightly wrong. But military court rules are different from civy.
If a prosecutor tries to prosecute a case against you in civilian court and loses/fails, they aren’t punished for that. They just failed to bring a strong enough case to convinct you.
In Military Court, different story. But yeah, higher officers in certain positions are definitely afforded insane special treatments, just look at the amount of powers and protections the chiefs of staffs and the members of commities like the Armed Services Commity have. Nutty stuff.
@@gargouenzeneNo, superior officers can be accused but the prosecution didn’t have proof at that point Jessup actually ordered the Code Red. Accusations against Superior officers need to have credibility behind them otherwise the accuser can be charged with Conduct Unbecoming in the UCMJ, a serious charge, to do so without evidence.
Jack Nicholson single handedly makes this one of the most quotable movies of all time.
It's well known, Nicholson ad-libbed most of the final scene!!
@@waynewilliams8554no he didn’t lol he slightly changed one line. Which is impressive because you don’t ad lib Sorkin
Well not really. "You can't handle the truth" doesn't really work without Cruise's line coming first. Everyone talks about Nicholson but Tom Cruise also put in an outstanding performance in this movie.
It is one of most mis-quotable movie lines. Col. Jessup is a criminal and is admitting to his crimes (sort of) in this tirade. People act like this authoritarian BS is something noble to quote - it is not. The character is scum and if you think his tirade is "quotable" you have character issues.
@@FinnMcRiangabrawell said my friend
Even Kaffee couldn't believe that he got Jessep to admit that he ordered the code red!
My interpretation is that he sensed Jessep wanted to tell. He was proud of it, and only needed to be provoked.
What’s code red ?
@@Bapuji42 Exactly. He knew Jessup was proud of what he did and goaded him into ranting about his motive for doing so. At his core Jessup felt justified, he just hid it to save his own skin.
@@Kyubii01Basically he was the one who ordered Santiago to be killed.
@@ZonaiHero-ul5nm CRAZY . So if anyone is sus and a high command person think someone is sus, they can invoke code red ?
I’m so happy to see so many people understand truly that Jessup is a villain. You cant claim to have values if you abandon Those values to “protect” them. You either live by those values in all dealings or you are a hypocrite.
So basically… The United States of A?
You conflate principles and values.
Principles cannot be broken, regardless of circumstances. Values are simply an ends, not a means.
example, "I value drinking Coke, and if I have to bomb a few countries to do that, so be it."
Jessup valued the Marine Corp's integrity, which Santiago stained by trying to rat out a comrade inexchange for personal gain, a transfer. Personally, I think Jessup had every right to be pissed off, a PFC (so no more than 5 years in the corps) is staining "HIS" Marine corps? Not on his watch.
Ofc, the whole movie could've been avoided if Jessup was realistic, and had Santiago dishonorably discharged (screwing him for life)
He wasn't even protecting anyone. Man was based in Cuba in the 90s.
I could have guarded that base with a toothpick.
@@notapumaJessup had every right to be pissed off? It’s a bit ambiguous sounding to me, but my impression was that because Santiago came in last of the group (someone has to) he was bullied and ostracized. (Which would only cause him to perform worse.) His multiple letters wreak of desperation to get out of a situation where everyone hated him. To the point he’d risk it all by breaking the chain of command and naming names. It seems to me Jessup was overlooking the flaws in his unit and instead could only see ends justifying means. He’s so warped that I don’t think he would have held back from ordering the code red even if Santiago had had a proven mental illness and a broken leg to account for his sub-par performance.
Or, third option, you wait for your elected officials to *change* your values.
Jessop's problem wasn't that he was a zealot. It's that he was an autocrat.
"Harold" - "Sir" - 'You don't need to wear a patch on your arm to have honor" 😊

There’s AN OFFICER 👮🏻♂️ ON DECK

It's great how in the earlier part of this scene Jack Nicolson looks quietly angry and flustered as he realises his contradiction has been caught out.
Nicholson’s speech is so raw and one of the reasons why he’s one of my favourite actors. It’s just absolutely brilliant acting, his performance is uncanny
I prefer the Partridge version.
Agreed, plus the excellent actors, subject matter, script really brought this out
He....WAS A MARINE COLONEL
HE OWNED IT
Idk which is a better speech. This one or the speech Al Pacino gives in Scent of a Woman
@@MARKIEBANUNCE I've read that many high ranking officer act that kind of attitude. That jack could have passed for a real colonel
Some still side with the Colonel, but he was ready to let his men take the fall for him. No honesty, NO HONOR. He was a creep.
Exactly, anyone that is acting like Jessup was right or had a point in any way, completely fail to see how massive of a hypocrite the man was.
He talks all of that hot air, but at the end of the day he was fully prepared to throw 2 enlisted men on the pyre to save his own ass and career advancement. He's a self-serving, egotistical, narcissist with no respect for the men he commands. To him they are just tools to help him climb the ladder, to be disposed of if they don't fit that purpose.
Yes, the lower downs fall so that the leadership can remain. And it was explained to you why this needed to be.
I have a question wtf is a code red?
@@shanewhite9501 Google it or you are so stupid to do it?
@@shanewhite9501 hazing to force improvement
"We were supposed to fight for Willy." 😭😭😭
Everyone gets hard over Nicholson’s speech, but this right here is the heart of the movie.
The reality is that Dawson was punished for being decent and protective of Santiago. He was already held out of a promotion to full corporal and under the current command structure if he refused to follow Kendrick and Jessup, he would of received an even harsher code red himself.
@SmooveSav Possibly.
However, you do the right thing not because of the benefit or consequence, but because it's the right thing...Life is hard, but just.
There's a reason it cuts from the two Marines directly to Lt Weinberg who summed up the whole thing half-way through the movie. "They beat up on a weakling, that's all they did. The rest is just smoke-filled coffee-house crap." Their honor was meaningless when they abused someone simply because he made them look bad.
@@MrErizid Agreed. That's what I'm saying.
Jack Nicholson always scares the hell out me; he's that good.
During that lull after the words: "You're damn right I did!" you could probably hear a pin drop. Everyone is just stunned by Jessup's admission.
He’s one mean son of a b!!!! ,brilliant film and acting.
HERES JOHNNY 😂😂
Too bad in real life they would be found guilty and the colonel would get a promotion.
Also the honest lawyer's career would be ruined. Don't forget that part.
@@tsarfox3462 - To be fair, when your career is on the line, you go get a civilian attorney and NOT JAG. They can’t suffer reprisals for doing their job.
As he should.
His existence, while grotesque, saves lives.
@@TheBatugan77 - Perhaps, but the sick reality is that those at the bottom are punished for doing the acts authorized from the top, but the top people are rewarded for it.
So, in other words, you've never been in the military and are making stuff up to be sensational.
This courtroom scene was a master class for acting! Every actor nailed their part!
Lt. Weinberg catching strays lol
I’m convinced Jessup’s remark was anti-semetic in motivation
@@DelusionalNYCkevin pollack confirmed it in an interview
@@plaidchuck What interview was that?
Lt Commander Galloway didn't warrant a mention by him, he didn't even consider that a woman could guard something with a gun. The marine corp truly lost a lot of BS when he was charged that day.
@@DelusionalNYC Total disdain for Jewish lawyers probably.
This movie is one of the best movies ever made. Hollywood bring back these types of movies ppl actually want to see!
Kaffee: “What do you call a Marine with an I.Q. of 130?
Jessep: “I don’t know, what?”
Kaffee: “A platoon.”
Jessep: 4:14
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps! Eleanor Roosevelt said that, and she is correct. Marines aren't dumb, they are singularly focused. The mission (whatever that may be) is the goal, nothing else matters.
He charged like that because he didn’t get his usual crayons with lunch.😂
Oh man that cut deep and yet it was super funny lol
Lmaooooo
“You snotty little bastard”. Hahahahahaha
Ahhh. Classic Jack.
Great movie.
CODE RED Mountain Dew got pretty intense back in the day
The bad thing about this, had it happened in real life and those two enlisted men disobeyed the officer because they felt it was an unlawful order, they could have been court-martialed for disobeying a direct order and conduct unbecoming a Marine. Prison and the Duck Dinner. Enlisted guys are damned if you do, and damned if you don't. And officers walk more times than you would believe. And even IF an officer is actually convicted, it doesn't mean he'll get kicked out of the service or do any time at all. And if you call BS on this, I turn your attention to Lt. Col. James Wilkerson, USAF. Found guilty of aggravated sexual assault and sentenced to a whole year in jail, but the reviewing officer - against the recommendations of the Ramstein Air Base JAG, set the conviction aside and returned the guy to duty. Officers walk. Enlisted guys get prison.
You are not obliged to obey unlawful orders. It's in the UCMJ and the oath of Enlistment. Now knowing the difference is key. The requirement for refusing to obey an order is if a reasonable person would consider the order unlawful. Generally if the order is considered reckless and beyond a reasonable risk (taking risk beyond what is normal for the activity, ie okay flanking manuevers against a live machine gun nes, vs not okay: jumping out of a airplane with out a parachute) or if the act is normally considered immoral or illegal. Like I can't order a Jewish soldier to eat a ham sandwich, that's immoral, or to steal materials for personal gain/enrichment.
They never would have been court-martialed without fraudulent charges being piled on. They would have likely suffered severe “unofficial” retaliation, however
@@screenmonkey This former Marine can verify you are 100% correct. In spite of the jokes the Marine Corps does not want meatheads. They want people smart enough to recognize an unlawful order, among other things.
A court martial is just what the military calls a trial. So yes they would be taken to trial. If the order is unlawful, though, then that would be a valid defense for disobeying it.
I dont really see the issue there. If you use someones copyrighted work they can sue you. Then you can use the defense of "fair-use" to get the lawsuit dropped.
If you violate an order you can be court martialed. Then you can use the defense that it was an unlawful order to get the charges dropped.
Conduct unbecoming is a charge for officers not lower enlisted such as these men. They never would have been charged with that to begin with. They most likely would have been disciplined by their direct commanding officers instead. At most, this would have been equivalent to a write-up and a sort of probationary period. If Conduct unbecoming was meant for lower enlisted, then we'd have a shit ton more court martials. And a boat load of dishonored military personnel. Lower enlisted are practically kids who do stupid shit all the time.
There is no question that Jack Nicholson in this movie deserved an Oscar and so did Tom Cruise.
My favorite scene is when Kevin Bacon and Tom Cruise are walking down the hallway discussing the case and Tom Cruise takes a bite out of the donut and his face is like oh God
Poor Captain Ross, speechless. Thinking - WTF just happened.
Him??? What about POOR Lt Weinberg...like "why TF am I being called out?" 😂
@@johnholland448 I think the same thing every time I see the movie. If they cut to him in the scene he'd be like "WTAF? I'm minding my own business over here and you decide to blow me shit??!"
Captain Ross and the face when your heroes galactically fubar
@@oldmandato6674I have absolutely no authority here
I think that bit makes clear that he really thought Jessep was innocent and never ordered the cod red. Jessep lied to everyone at every step.
Some of Hollywood's greatest acting in this movie. Tom's ability to sink into a glassy eyed stare is amazing. Jack's portrayal of a self righteous, unflinching, hardened warrior is so convincing. His subtle, yet perfectly timed facial expressions as he starts to squirm on the stand was perfect. And Kudos to Wolfgang who did such a professional job for his first acting gig. I doubt if anyone could have done a better job. This star studded cast along with the fantastic story and superb directing and cinematography sets this movie aside as one of the best movies Hollywood has ever produced.
Everything about this scene is the textbook definition of perfection
Classic top ten movie, with this being the peak cut from the masterpiece 👌.
Up there with top ten Tom Cruise best movies of all time!
It's tripe
Of course he ordered the code red. That's the best mtn dew flavor!
crayons for dinner
😂
Order of the full bird colonel
Baja blast, especially freeze version from Taco Bell, is way better
Not to be a buzzkill, but this movie came out nearly a decade prior to that particular soft drink.
You dont need to wear a badge on your arm to have honor. Dope line
He’s had a lot of great roles. I think this scene by itself makes it host best role.
Did you order the Baja Blast?!
You’re goddamn right I did!
Jessep sure did have a God complex. That man's ego was something else.
It always amazes me how shocked he is that he's being arrested
I eat breakfast 300 yards away from 4000 Cubans who are trained to kill me, so don't think for one second you can come down here, flash a badge, and make me nervous.
The character Jessup was wrong here. Because I don't think it was clear what that guy was up to. He was shaded as a villain regardless. (He thinks he made a correct decision though.)
But I can't help to think that there are indeed positions of power, like his, requiring insanely difficult decisions that end soldiers lives practically on purpose. It's like the Trolley Problem. Is it best to send 100 soldiers to certain death, merely as a diversion to save 1,000, or do nothing, and everyone dies?
Nah, you just can't handle the truth.
@@gredangeo The whole point is that he's full of shit. He's the commander of Guantanamo bay in the late 80's to early 90's, he's not defending shit and he's not on the front lines. He's pretending it's still the 60's and that he's relevant when he's just an asshole mega-Karen using his little power in his base to play king.
Title and thumbnail I like to picture Jack Nicholson lunging at a waiter because they insist he ordered the Mountain Dew Code Red and not the Baja Blast
DID YOU ORDER A CODE RED?!?!
YOU'RE GD RIGHT I DID!
Sorry sir, let me get that right out to you.
I'd rather you just said thank you and went on your way.

Lol, imagine being the guy with such an unimpressive career that you end up sidelined in cuba, and still think you're meaningfully "guarding the wall"
If you are referring to the Colonel Nathan Jessup character, he was about to be appointed Director of Operations for the National Security Council in the film. Hardly sidelined. His career was on the fast track.
@@EmpireofSpeedNY Lol, in absolute fiction. In no way would anyone with a high trajectory career end up commanding an irrelevant, far from the flagpole place like gitmo. As for the appointed position, that a non-military appointee position. That's not a military career move, he would actually need to retire. That position is also roughly a downgrade from the level of command he's portrayed to have...
@@irgilliganagreed one hundred percent.
@@tommym321
You and he should date.
@@TheBatugan77 you think? Unfortunately I’m not single. That sucks.
I can't watch movies like this with my attorney wife because she points out all of the things that would never, ever be allowed in a courtroom ever.
Has she seen My Cousin Vinny? From what I have been told by the legally inclined, it is pretty damned close.
Is she also familiar with military justice? Because that's a different ballgame.
I know, I'm not an attorney, but I think the same. Some things are just so obvious. Still, I enjoy it very much as being an absolutely brilliant scene in a movie. Remind your wife that it's a m.o.v.i.e. next time. 😉
This isn’t a civilian court
Is she military or civilian?
The best part of this from a script perspective is that Kafee was throwing out the world's biggest bluff. His next witnesses didn't know a god damn thing, and he knew it.
Even after all this years, a great scene and still I can only think:
I WANT THE JUICE!
YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE JUICE!!!!!
I can only think: "You can't handle the truth! No truth-handler you! Bah! I DERIDE your truth handling abilities!"
The juice is dead
Jacks character’s attitude is amazingly familiar these days.
I like how Jack and Tom were never in the same room together when filming this, great production
I own this movie and never knew that.
I never realized the abundance of back and forth shots of their double's necks until you said that
Each of the actors and the whole jury filmed their parts separately. it was all composited in post production using new CGI techniques.
I'm assuming scheduling conflicts were the reason they didn't film the scene together? Otherwise, it seems like an added complication.
5:05
It's amazing and shows Nicholson's skill as an actor that he did the entire monologue in 1 take.
This was such a good movie, watched it with my family, the court scene made us glued to our screen. It was awesome and quiet.
Masterful acting by everyone in this Scene.
One of the greatest scenes in moviedom!
Tom should have gotten an Oscar
"YOU'RE GOD DAMN RIGHT I DID!" hits way harder than "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!"
It's very hard to come upon a movie like this nowadays. Not talking about court movies but just a movie that relies heavily on script and actors delivering their well-written lines like that.
Jack Nicholson stole every scene he was ever in. This scene was brilliant as he always is.
Jack (Jessup) dominated the film and I think was only in four scenes. 1. Opening with Markinson and Kendrick. 2. In his office when the lawyers arrive. 3. Lunch with the lawyers. 4. And the epic courtroom. Total domination.
Its funny watching the prosecutor melt because his objection was sustained but his witness still answered and blew up the whole case 😅
The way he pulled his uniform back down pure perfection to the scene
This movie is the result of why the Pandegon has a movie department, to promote positive image of the USAF with the illusion that justice will prevail, while the reality has shown us whistleblower are often being charged for court martial and put behind bars for speaking the truth.
SOME OF THE GREATEST ACTING BETWEEN TOM CRUISE AND JACK NICHOLSON EVER FILMED!!!!
Lt Weinberg looking at Jessup like " what the f did I do?"
I always loved how this guy acts like hes literally holding the line against the darkness all by himself. When in fact hes stationed in Cuba, a country without the means or the will to do him harm. The average patrol in Afghanistan faced an order of magnitude more danger than anyone posted in Cuba had in decades.
I never get enough of this scene
Best courtroom scene ever
One of the greatest scenes in the history of cinema. Perfect
ONE OF THE MOST POTENT AND SCARY MOVIES..
BRAVO
ON ACTING ALL PARTIES.
AMAZING AND THAT IS THE TRUTH!!!
“I would rather you say thank you and be on your way”😂
“You fucked with the wrong marine.”🤣
Best film by everyone in it. Excellent script, cast and direction. Finest performances ever
When Kevin Bacon sat down...he KNEW it was over.
A truly iconic scene.
To this day Lt. Kaffee is still considered under Contempt. 1:23
The scenes were so good that I still don’t even remember the other parts of the movie, or indeed what actually happened that they’re arguing about.
I bet the crew behind the scenes were mesmerized just by witnessing Nicholson elevate simple words to the level of magnificence as he did.
Jack Nicholson is a great actor
A military that considers itself above the laws of the land is more dangerous than any other threats to the country it protects
Until you’re invaded lol
@@damilolaj.o7379Considering the current balance of power is overwhelmingly in my country's favor right now I'm not worried
The movie and scene was classic. You gotta love how jack just thought after they gave the verdict he really thought he was going to simply jump on a plane and head back to his base like court didn’t happen lol
One of the greatest scenes in any movie ever made!
All this fuss over a Mountain Dew? The government really does waste too much money..
That flavor is delicious! You quench your thirst under the blanket of the dew and then question the manor in which it is dispensed!!
This is why we were left with Baja Blast...
Okay. That got a chuckle out of me. Thank you.
Nice
In a military atmosphere while conflict is raising the stakes everyone thinks like a marine.
One of the greatest scenes in cinematic history.
Great acting all around! Powerful scene.

Defending the line in Cuba? That's a plum assignment. Dude has a mix of PTSD and narcisism.
But they have cigars of mass destruction.
One of my favorite movies....
When movies were actually good.
People in real life have egos like Jessup
I wish some of the people I work with ONLY had egos that bad.
Why is that?
Especially cops
Chills. So good.
Man Jacks performance is incredible in this film
“I don’t have the time to explain myself to a man that rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide and questions the manner In which I provide it”
Real talk
"You're under arrest, son of a bitch !"
It's great dialogue and extremely well delivered, but I worry how much people agree with the character's viewpoint. Jessup was the clear villain and that line spells it out more obviously than any other. He believed that he didn't have to answer to anyone and could act however he wanted with impunity, so long as he was fulfilling what he believed to be his duty to his country.
When someone like that weilds real power, there are the most dangerous individuals around.
That confession would never hold up in court. He was called onto the stand as a witness, lol. The confession could be use a defense for the defendant in that trial, but it probably would be thrown out in a trail against the colonel. In fact, it probably wouldn't even go to trial at all.
Yup. Good for a Hollywood movie but not realistic at all. The legal equivalent of a guy in a gunfight who fires 200 shots without reloading.
@@texaswunderkindThis is not how a court works I’m guessing works for Hollywood Cruise is badgering a witness Even if Jessops admits guilt it would be thrown out by judge
Kinda, but not exactly. You’re right that the confession wouldn’t hold up during a trial against him, however, it would be enough to start a criminal investigation which would likely turn up evidence that would.
👏👏👏just one of the best scenes ever captured 🎥those JN/TC are so intense ❤️.
Suppose to fight for people who couldn’t fight for themselves - they realized too late.
Jack's character in this film was showcasing perhaps a larger swath of that horrific type of behavior in the high rankings of the military than is probably even known or fathomable in real life...
I bet yall are quoting Jack Nicholson as he is speaking
Someone needs to make a gif of him when he salutes back to the marine but when it pans back to the marine it's a giant picture of Elron Hubbard hahahaha
I hate the guy, but it's L. Ron Hubbard
2:54 when the waiter is coming to your table with drinks
Reminds me of the speech Angron made to Guilliman pre-Heresy. I know this is a big tangent, but the utter disgust and contempt that the Corporal had for the others questioning his reasoning reminded me of Angron saying that most others could not compare to the torture he endured for freedom.
"What could you know of courage and honor!? You sat upon a throne inherited from your foster father. I fought in pits and was violated, mutilated, and forced to kill the only person I could ever call father, leading a failing rebellion to its final moments. You know Nothing of courage and honor."
I like Mountain Dew Code Red too but damn
Thank god Colonel Jessup is protecting our country from...Cuba?!?! 🙂
One of the best acting scenes in cinema history
With perfection!

@@o__o1544That's less about acting though. Not in a dramatic way anyway. Cruise is severely underrated as a dramatic actor as is evident in this film. Hope he'll go back to some more roles like this one day.

The interesting thing is that the Colonel makes some points that are likely valid. You can’t keep the wolves at bay with just diplomacy, you have to have monsters guarding those walls against other monsters.
What the Colonel missed in his hubris is that instead of taking credit for his orders from the get go he was going to allow 2 men under his command to take the blame. He didn’t take ownership as a leader, and he falsified documentation to escape accountability, there was no honor in his actions he was a coward. Conversely, Harold came to terms with his actions and took ownership of the fact that whether ordered or not, his actions resulted in the death of someone he should have stood up for. Quite the mirror to Jessup’s refusal to take ownership and how he laid the blame everywhere else.
No.
There was no need to " code red" him. None
The code red only satisfied his deranged blood lust.
@@stanleyhape8427 I think you need to read my entire post.
@@stevenvegh7964asking for reading comprehension in a comment section.. tall order these days.
@@stanleyhape8427 I think that's sort of what OP is saying- a lot of the idea behind military training is to train men to unflinchingly follow orders and be ready to kill on command, because that's who you need to guard walls. That's the justification the Colonel states for his actions. However, in reality the Colonel's actions were never to further the goal of national defense, no matter how much he might have tried to justify that to himself; they were to satisfy his deranged bloodlust.
From crazy Joker to psycho colonel to sadistic psychologist in Adam Sandler's Anger Management. This dude knows crazy.
Don't forget insane hotel caretaker.
Cool. You’re protecting us in Cuba!? “On the wall” lol what a POG.
Cool story bro anyway I’ll take a number 7 with a large Dr Pepper 😘
5:06 His tie has magically disappeared. Hard to believe they allowed such a brutal continuity error.
It's in his blazer
I love indians like you
@@HMSVanguard46 Go to 4:32 to see just how bad the continuity error with his tie is.
It’s pushed under his jacket
@@HughJorgan1 I can see what you mean, and for a Hollywood production it's not good at all, however as a media student, it will simply be two different takes mashed together. Hope this helps
