I think the same thing every time I see some fucking ridiculous Rolling Stone list like the 5OO GREATEST ROCK AND ROLL ALBUMS ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!! Right. Sgt. Pepper is the greatest record ever. It's better than 499 other records. Total bullshit. But that's not to say art isn't competitive. It's as competitive as anything else.
@@SS-gz1lv No sorry but the godfather wouldn’t be the same without Pacino and Brando, besides the godfather was what pretty much uplifted pacino’s acting career
God almighty. 1970s Jack Nicholson versus veteran Marlon Brando is like the cinematic equivalent to watching Mike Tyson (prime) boxing Muhammad Ali (prime). Two very different types of champions in their field and you really can't tell which one might come out on top. It really is a dynamic of charisma and force you don't see very often.
Brando is fantastic in this film. You can't take your eyes off him. It's a truly bravura performance. Utterly mad, over the top, deeply sinister, funny, terrifying, cold blooded. In other words the exact maniac he was seeking to portray.
That’s how I saw it, there’s a very dark character underneath all that flamboyance. He got badly underrated in it, people just saw him as messing around.
Brando really did save this movie. He told Arthur Penn that he had a “real stinker” on his hands after reading the script, and decided that he wanted to play the bounty hunter against type to save the movie. As far as I’m concerned, it worked. The movie would have been totally boring without Brando’s bizarre interpretation.
You're on dust...... Brando was the worst thing about this movie. He drove penn and Nicholson crazy with his dumb ass improv. That stupid brogue he went in and out of was horrific. This movie would of been much better without him.
@@deancj1 I disagree . In and out of brogue ? I think the character meant to do this . I think Brando’s whacko ness helped make this movie great regardless of what the Critics said . Yes Marlon Brando has done his turkeys and pushed the envelope when it shouldn’t have been pushed but this isn’t one of them . I don’t know about the original script but the story was good . Of course Nicholson and the other Actors were superb also
@@uppercutgrandma4425 I think that’s a good possibility. Brando basically ran off like a wild bronco with his role in this movie. Kept changing every line he had been given. He had been known to just barely read scripts in other movies. Truth be told, it was a real self-indulgence for Marlon. He did it like that because he knew he could since he was Brando. I mean, what was Penn gonna do, fire him? Marlon wold have laughed, said “ok, bye bye” and gone back to his home it Tahiti.
@@deancj1 WRONG. This is the 1st time i heard of or seen a clip in this movie and I was instantly taken by Brando's performance. It made me want to see the movie now.
Peter Lundh von Leithner jimmy Stewart? Henry Fonda ? Clark Gable, Spencer Tracey, James Cagney? Leonardo DiCaprio? Morgan Freeman? Richard Dreyfuss? James Dean? Clint Eastwood? Harrison Ford? Philip Seymour Hoffman? So many good actors why limit it to 5 ?
I saw this movie randomly a decade ago on a western TV channel my dad was watching after he fell asleep. I'm still surprised I don't see more people talking about it, was pretty entertaining and top tier actors.
"So I mean it when I say that if you can't appreciate Brando, I wouldn't know how to talk to you. If there's anything obvious in life, this is it. Other actors don't go around discussing who is the best actor in the world, because it's obvious - Marlon Brando is." - Jack Nicholson
On the set of this picture, a Rolling Stone reporter visited to interview Brando. As Brando walked by, the whole set froze, and Brando passed by. Jack Nicholson grinned at the RS reporter and said, "He's like Atilla the Hun, scorches the earth when he walks by. Not much leavins'."
@@paulcrewe3125 Those are some pretty damning accusations about someone you don't even know! And how is it that you're sarcastically referring to someone as "Mr. Opinionated" when you're offering opinions yourself? You've done more to prove that you are, in fact, an idiot than anyone else's comment about you!
A Rolling Stone reporter visited the set while writing a story about Brando. He wrote that the whole crew froze when Brando walked onto the set, and just stared as he passed. Jack Nicholson cracked a grin and said to the reporter, "The man scorches the earth when he passes, don't he? Not too many leavin's'"
Inder Ajith DeNiro lost his mojo over 25 years ago. He has immense power for certain types of roles,but not an all around kind of actor like Brando could be. Also,he can't improv for shit. But,to be fair,the one time I saw DeNiro totally nail a character out of his range was Rupert Pupkin in the King of Comedy.
The thing about Nicholson, no matter how bad a movie is, if he's in it, you are guaranteed at least one great performance. In every thing he has ever done he puts in 100%!
This such a great scene ,so ominous. This is a great movie , the Missouri Breaks . Brando is great in this so out there . Nicholson at his defiant best . Great direction. Great production design.
I just love how these 2 men go at it it’s like they’re fighting with their words each one taking a jab at each other great dialogue … delivered by two masters .
Chuck Stevens They were neighbors on Mulholland Drive in Hollywood for many years. When Brando died, Nicholson bought his house and tore it down as it was in terrible shape
I agree about genius, but to me, Logan looks down. He's scared Clayton is going to kill him. Both characters make the error of not killing their adversary when they have him in their sights.
I don't think ANYONE was told Brando was going to do an Irish accent until he showed up and started doing it. Brando as usual just made up his character traits himself and the director just let him do it on screen. That really was the hardest thing with directing Brando, he would pull all the bullshit he wanted on-set and on-screen and no one could do anything about it because it pretty much always got results.
@@MeteoXavier This seems like one of the more polarizing roles in cinema history for whatever reason, it seems completely underrated I love this movie.
Nicholson even understated,steals the scene.That exasperated wisdom,those countless expressions saying a million things.No one could touch nicholson from easy rider to the the border.This film and the shining,the border,and the king Marvin gardens are untouchable.
Get up!!Get up!! You floatin pieces slime!! Get up!! It's when Jack walk's in when Brando was in the tub has fucking badass you can tell when Jack's mad he's more than serious!!
proof that art isn't a contest but a battle of mutual brilliance, i laugh every time. even if you havent seen the movie, this moment makes a story of its own
Probably the most realistic gun sound ever committed in almost 90 years of sound on film. *Oh, and this scene was so good I forgot I was watching a clip. Now I have to see the movie...
The sole reason to watch The Missouri Breaks is for Brando. The story is routine and uninspired and meanders along and doesn't pick up until Brando enters. I imagine that all the little quirks displayed by his character were of his own creation and the director just gave him free reign to be as eccentric as possible. It seems like he was having some degree of fun, despite his open hatred for acting, especially at this point in his life. Whatever his feelings for acting were he still brought something to each of his characters. My favorite scene is when he crashes a wake for a ranch hand who had just been killed and shocks the mourners when he grabs the corpse by the lapels of his jacket and partially lifts him out of the coffin, sending ice chips (to keep the body from decaying in the hot environment) scattering over the room. It's both funny and startling if you've never seen the film before. I imagine this was suggested by Brando. The film is peppered by these weird moments. Whenever he is not on screen the story really falls flat, even Nicholson cannot bring it to life and his romance with Kathleen Lloyd is dull.
Um grande filme, esquecido pela programação televisiva. "Duelo de Gigantes" (The Missouri Breaks). Nesta cena, os dois "Monstros Sagrados" ou melhor; as duas "cobras criadas" que representam os personagens de Brando e Nicholson, num tenso duelo psicológico no qual, ao apanhar a arma, lançada pelo personagem de Brando, o personagem de Nicholson diz: "Duvido" (que ainda tenha munição) e aciona o gatilho, apontando para o chão. Ao final desta cena, a "comida", com os olhos, que o personagem de Nicholson dá em direção ao personagem de Brando, já dá uma dica de quem irá "rir" por último... Filmaço!
"Missouri Breaks" is a complete screen classic. Why it never got the attention that so many lesser Westerns got, is a mystery to me. I've watched it at least a dozen times. Brando's last Great Hurrah.
..Brando knew this so well all those critics who bash on him for going the flamboyant route .Truly don't know what acting is and improving is for that matter .It can mean anything within the giving circumstances conventional or unconventional as long as it fits .Thats brando's genius on display still no one picks up on it to this day .
yeah jack nicholson became great by default He said it best "When marlon brando dies we all move up on"..Ha ! nicholson never stood a chance against this man .This particular scene was beautifully done .Hes trying to intimidate nicholsons character by coming off unassuming .Its funny because people would talk about brando's flamboyant appearance .I feel he was making a social comment about how evil can be deceiving it can come in any shape or form .It's your ideals that shape you .
Nicholson’s hero was Brando, Brando was literally his idol Brando inspired him he watched all of Brando’s films when he was a young boy & when he became an actor he even said it himself he was apart of the first generation that idolized Marlon Brando were are the 4th or 5th
Nicholson said he wanted to be just like Brando the legendary acting and the great looks Marlon was truly one of a kind he inspired many legendary actors and still does to this day he will be remembered for ever infact he was in the most important people of the 20th century list in 1999 he will live on
Great scene by Brando.Definitely played it so that Nicholson's character would think he had a dangerous screw loose. Apparently the two actors were together in this scene as little as possible due to their mutual dislike.
FUCKING AMAZING!!!! I was literally just going to watch 2 seconds of it.. the scene fucking drew me in.. till i was SAD that it ended.. now.. THATS fucking acting!!!
The movie stinks and Brando is the main reason. But what gets lost is this is one of Nicholson’s best performances, everything he does in this film, it’s just about perfect. Who else can effortlessly go from being a hilarious train robber, to a clever horse thief, to a love interest, to a mournful to then vengeful killer? And every note rings true, every glance every gesticulation, everything. He was at the height of his powers here and no actor could match him.
Brando was showing his contempt for Hollywood in this performance. A fat, cross dressing, Irish accented gunfighter- regulator? In the old west? Brando just wanted to see what he could get away with because by this time, his very farts were considered acts of genius. I like Brando. I think the last good performances were The Godfather, Last Tango In Paris and perhaps a case could be made for Acopalypse Now. In this movie he was just goofing on us all just to see what we'd say. He could have dropped his pants and shit on the sand and people would have said "I'm so honored I lived long enough to see a true act of legendary acting."
it wasn't so much lazyness when you think about it .if it came down to laziness you woulnt have the quality performances you got out of brando the cue cards helped with the spontanetiy of the performance .its a sign of mastering your art in improv which brando did .true to real life .which is in esscense improv nothing is scripted in real life
Of course, Brando was one of the best, if not the best actor ever. He is peerless. But you just listed two of Nicholson's more commercial successes, not his critical successes. Try Chinatown and One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nets, the man is brilliant in those.
Good all a round, that nut as a cowboy! I say YES to thee movie. Fiew have nerves now, counting me, but dont lie to myself and barry my head in thee ground. Eyes wide...
Before Jack just cashed in on his base charisma and presence, he was the greatest actor that ever lived. Check out "jack Nicholson anger" and you will see what I mean. Look at King Of Marvin Gardens, (Missouri Breaks here) The Shining, The Border, Batman. It's still Jack, but the vast number of emotional ranges exhibited. Just no comparison. Just with a look, a tone, a movement etc
This is very unusual for a character that Marlon plays and I like it! He is usaully playing soft spoken people when few lines with a great deal of respect weather he plays the hero or the villain. Here, he plays a cocky, very talkative prick in a sense. It really looks like Marlon is having a blast with this role!

something brando would agree with.

Brandon and Nicholson in the same scene? I'm amazed my computer didn't blow up!
We almost saw it happen in the Godfather. Nicholson was seriously considered to play Michael Corleone.
James Kardys I would've loved that. Over Pacino.
Nah, pacino was perfect for Michael
@@SS-gz1lv No sorry but the godfather wouldn’t be the same without Pacino and Brando, besides the godfather was what pretty much uplifted pacino’s acting career

Marlon is a textbook for anyone who wants to be ....
Marlon Brando, Daniel Day Lewis, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Jack Nicholson are the the five best actors to ever live. period.
I actually agree with that sentiment.
Meryl Streep and Dustin Hoffman are pretty great too.

At the time Jack Nicholson was a prince but who was Brando? King? No, he was God!
I just love how these 2 men go at it it’s like they’re fighting with their words each one taking a jab at each other great dialogue … delivered by two masters .
Nicholson's low-key "alright let's calm down" body language when Brando pulls out the gun is funny.
Fun fact: these guys were pretty close friends in real life

Fuck off with fun facts.

Two great actors bouncing sparks off eachother....magnificent
I wouldn’t have thought this was Brandon if not for the description. His acting is almost beyond belief. And Nicholson plays his role perfectly.

Wtf. This is too much. After I viewed Nicholson and DeNiro shared a screen time together and now this.. truly woah

This video should have more views you know we don't usually see two legends share the same screen.
That's stellar acting. The best are, somehow, more natural.
my top actors, in no particular order are al pacino, marlon Brando, Daniel day Lewis, Leonardo DiCaprio, tom hanks.
The movie stinks and Brando is the main reason.
But what gets lost is this is one of Nicholson’s best performances, everything he does in this film, it’s just about perfect.
Who else can effortlessly go from being a hilarious train robber, to a clever horse thief, to a love interest, to a mournful to then vengeful killer?
And every note rings true, every glance every gesticulation, everything. He was at the height of his powers here and no actor could match him.
I loved this movie
Omg I love both of them.
Love them both, still Jack is number 1 in my heart. Let us differ beautifully on this one... :)

it wasn't so much lazyness when you think about it .if it came down to laziness you woulnt have the quality performances you got out of brando the cue cards helped with the spontanetiy of the performance .its a sign of mastering your art in improv which brando did .true to real life .which is in esscense improv nothing is scripted in real life
This was a bizarre (but interesting) film. I know it's difficult to imagine, but this is actually one of the more sane scenes.
2 great stars.
Always fascinates me how Jack struggles to cranks up his act when Marlon turns up.
Of course, Brando was one of the best, if not the best actor ever. He is peerless. But you just listed two of Nicholson's more commercial successes, not his critical successes. Try Chinatown and One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nets, the man is brilliant in those.
Good all a round, that nut as a cowboy! I say YES to thee movie. Fiew have nerves now, counting me, but dont lie to myself and barry my head in thee ground. Eyes wide...
Before Jack just cashed in on his base charisma and presence, he was the greatest actor that ever lived. Check out "jack Nicholson anger" and you will see what I mean. Look at King Of Marvin Gardens, (Missouri Breaks here) The Shining, The Border, Batman. It's still Jack, but the vast number of emotional ranges exhibited. Just no comparison. Just with a look, a tone, a movement etc
Watching the movie you can tell Nicholson didn't even try to outshine Brando. It's impossible.
When the godfather made an offer to the joker and can't refuse
This is very unusual for a character that Marlon plays and I like it! He is usaully playing soft spoken people when few lines with a great deal of respect weather he plays the hero or the villain. Here, he plays a cocky, very talkative prick in a sense. It really looks like Marlon is having a blast with this role!
U sound like u haven't seen last tango in paris, brando's best performance ever,
In this scene, Nicholson looks like Captain Haddock during the desert scene in "The Adventures of Tintin."
