The guy who Clint grabbed by the nose Tom Villard who plays Profile was a class mate of mine. We attended Spencerport High School. He lived just up the street. He passed away at the age of 40 from AIDS. I remember him being very active in the drama club and did may plays at school. Glad to see he was part of a Classic movie before he passed with probably the most iconic star in Hollywood. RIP Tom.
Most men in their early 30’s in today’s military (especially the Air Force) couldn’t intimidate a fly. They grew up coddled, passive, politically correct, and no more intimidating than a speck on the wall. The over 50’s that served are the real thing.
US infantryman here, have yet to meet anyone in their 30s that’s actually impressive, generally speaking they are disposable diehards that failed to listen to anyone who’s actually been at a two way range
" ive drunk more beer, pissed more blood and banged more quiff than all of you combined" and he wasnt lying...that was the most badass line former vets can confirm
In real life...."military" he would not have had to say this. One look at the medal of honor and they knew they had to follow his every word with respect. He could have told them to go clean Toilets or dig Latrines and they would have obeyed without hesitation.
Oh, in spanish from Spain they translated that as " ahora mis cojones contra los vuestros" which roughly translate as "now it's my balls against yours", and makes a much more memorable quote
He never would have said this to Clint upon seeing his medal of honor. The medal of honor earns instant respect even among the most stupid and drunk soldier.
That one, and Inspector Callahan, from the Dirty Harry Movies. One of the best set of lines from that series, was when Callahan confronted that Black Dude, that was laying on the ground, after he'd been shot by Callahan. He looks up at Callahan, and Callahan tells him that, in all the excitement, he'd forgotten whether he'd fired six times, or only five. Brother looks up at Callahan, and says:"Hey, Man.....I gots to know"! Callahan points his Pistol at him, and pulls the trigger...but there's only a resounding "Click". Brother is like whew! Might've messed himself in his britches, too. I would have!
My friend Jeremy who I use to work Construction with was an Army Ranger, we saw this movie when we were playing poker at his house, he told me he had a First Sergeant that was just like Clint Eastwood's character Sgt Highway.
I served in the Marines for 20 years. I was on active duty when this movie came out. Eastwood's portrayal of a grizzled recon Marine is very accurate in most ways. Though, there are a few things not accurate to point out. First, there's nobody in the Corps or elsewhere who'd treat a Medal of Honor recipient with disrespect. Any Commanding Officer who talked to Gy Highway like that would have been run out of the Corps. That would never happen. Look at Pappy Boyington. He was a lush and discipline problem off-duty and a tiger in the air. He still received that respect that he earned in combat. Second, I've seen some unsat, screwed-up individual Marines during my time in the Corps but I've never seen any squad, much less one in Force Recon, be as screwed-up as the Hollywood squad were before they met Gy. Highway. Lastly, Quonset Huts? There might have been a few of them left in 1985 but those buildings are relics from the Vietnam and WWII eras. Regardless, this is a very entertaining movie.
In the 80s we actually had a fair number of them(Quonset huts)in Pendleton. We also slept in some on an army doggie base in Korea in ‘86. Edited because I’m the worse typist in the history of mankind. 😂
In 1984, On Camp Margarita -Area 51, We had open squad bays, probably built in the late 60s Oddly there would be 3 or 4 Quonset huts in each company/battalion that were used for HQ and admin... The other side of Margaritta had brand new dorm style apartments
@@ericlee2931 That’s how Los Flores was in Pendleton in the 80s. We lived in open squad bays while the office pogs lived in modern apartment style rooms in the other side of the camp. I actually liked the open squad bays better because they were a lot easier to keep clean.
@@blockmasterscott I see your point about keeping the open squad bays clean, Clean the head and dust mop the bay. DONE. What was your MOS on Las Flores? In the 80s Margarita was grunt heavy O311s
I love how the story is set in 2nd Reconnaissance Battalion in Camp Lejuene, NC but I know they shot the scenes there in Camp Pendleton, CA in 64 area Talga, I seen those hooches buildings, I never worked around in that area, I was in old mainside near Fallbrook area, but I used to drive around the whole base for the scenery, I had a friend of mine who went reserves and slept in those hooches when he came for drill, if those buildings are still there I wouldn’t be surprised, Camp Pendleton the base itself was one of the best to be stationed at and I wouldn’t trade those moments for anything, Semper Fidelis Marines! 🦅 🌎 ⚓️
This is a great movie.....excleant representation of how the Military use to be.....Thats back when the U.S. Military was feared and not viewed as.........his/him-her/she.
@@raptordoniv6779 No more or less than any other first world military. Americans really need to rid themselves of this "Main Character Syndrome" that has infested the country and population....
not an excellent representation.....Those problem soldiers would have instantly snapped to attention and stood silent as soon as they saw that Medal of Honor Ribbon....for those who did not see at first the other soldiers would have instantly informed him or hims....Attention on Deck...Medal of Honor Present. Clint if he chose to tell them to go clean Toilets would have received immediate....Yes Gunnery Seargent. To Get the Medal of Honor you have to have done something Superman like. The President of the U.S. gives out the Medal of Honor in a White House Ceremony. These soldiers would have been in instant awe.
I love the earrape from things falling in these old movies. The fact it was so loud when he kicked over the garbage can is so funny to me and I don't know why.
@@drats1279 Perhaps we need more men like the CHARACTERS that Eastwood played, but drats1279 is right. He is ACTING, and it is to the public's detriment that we think these people are our heroes. In real life Clint was probably gay (nothing wrong with that). Yes, I know they make a big splash about what a lady's man he was, but that's all cover. He was partnered for a long time with Sondra Locke, whose first husband has admitted he is gay. This means she is most likely a "beard" for gay male actors who think it best to promote a straight image to the audience.
Just realized this movie exists and looking forward to watching it soon. What we see here is the opposite of Gunnery Sergeant Hartman but they both get the same result. -Hartman A man who rarely lays a hand on the marines-in-training. (not including Joker and Pyle) Uses the sheer power of his voice and words to shape people to suit the marine core Shorter than the average soldier in the movie but sure as hell makes up for it at every turn. -Highway A man who constantly throws or destroy something and get physical one way or another. Speaks only a few quiet words to get respect as no more is needed to suit the marine core. Taller than the average soldier in the clip and reaps full benefits from it.
Okay, couple things here. One, love this movie! Two, as an ex military man, I've served with many soldiers and marines. One thing that's always bothered me about this movie is the lack of respect that these men showed for an NCO. Every marine I've ever known was the tip top level of gung-ho in the world and their respect for authority was also tip-top. Lipping off to a Gunnery Sargeant like these guys..impossible. Now, I know this is just a movie, but I'd be very interested to hear from other marines about the attitude of these, so called, marines and also the scene later between Highway and Suede.
Thing you have to remember is the time frame this movie happens in. I don't know your era of service. But my gramps was an E-8 during this time frane and dad was a young pup in the army at the time. There was a definite morale and image problem in the armed forces at the time. This is set less then 10 years after the fall of saigon, and not even 5 years after the fiasco that was operation eagle claw and the tehran embassy fiasco. The military was still teying to rebuild itself and shake off the ghosts of Vietnam. It really wasn't until well into the reagan years that the military went through a HUGE facelift. It didn't truly return to form until after desert storm and the show of force against saddam. Just my .02 as a civilian raised in a military household of the time. Its a situation we are facing once again with the bumbling of the GWOT and the emberassing run from kabul.
@@Banthisyoutube-zs6sx Mostly agree with your post, but the Corps was well on its way back in 1982. The URINALYSIS and kicking out those who popped positive, starting in 1981. It made a huge difference. Also a big pay raise from Carter after giving us Crap duting his high inflation presidency. Reagan added more and we got more quality people.
When I was in the Corps in the 80s, there is no way in Hell non rates would ever treat a gunney like that. Impossible. Im not even sure that the squids, propeller heads and army doggies would treat an E-7 in that manner. It does remind me of an incident during my time in the Corps. We had a lance coolie(Lance Corporal)get into a heated argument with a corporal in formation in front of company headquarters once. It got so hot that the lance coolie demanded to see the first Sargent, and the corporal said “no, you cannot talk to the first Sargent”. And I’ll never forget that lance coolie going off like a firecracker. He told the corporal in a VERY angry voice that he could not stop him from talking to the first sargent, that he was going to speak to him with or without permission and he was going to tell the first Sargent that he tried to block him from seeing him. To this day I remember that corporal’s face losing all color. 😂 My apologies for any bad typing, I’m on my phone.
Movie is quite moving in parts. Highway's at the end of his career, probably got no idea what to do outside the corps, got relationship issues and yet he's as motivated and proud as ever. Great character.
What kind of brainwashed bullshit are you two morons spewing forth? I was in Jan 83 to Jan 87, and no gunny or staff sergeant ever pulled shit like that.
I hit Army Basic in 1982... Back in the days when misbehavior, misunderstanding, or being born stupid would get your bell rung by clipboard-wielding Drill who was concerned about your ability to learn. I have no idea if it's better now or not. It's obviously been a long time since I graduated from BDU. However, I will say that such treatment got MY attention. 🤣 And I will stipulate that I did indeed deserve at least 2/3s of the slaps upside my dome.
Marines were always known for it. They got slack for awhile. Cry babies telling mommies the food was bad & they got yelled at. Momy called her senator, my baby is unhappy. Believe it's toughened up again. Boys soft & weak die in war, men toughened usually live. Yes our family Marine, my brother Marine Recon. And I'm dam proud of him. He saw hell face to face. I've seen the tears in the eyes of these strong brave men. It humbles you. Your hear breaks knowing the horrors they've endured. RESPECT our warriors. One day your life may depend on them. They'll die for you. Even for the nasty name callers. Who's ignorance is apparent about warriors. SEMPER FI
Just watched the movie, and it reminded me so well of how glad I was that I played the trumpet. The band was always kicked back in the rear. No danger.
What was so odd was that the platoon didn’t know that Highway was a CMH recipient until later. As soon as Highway stepped into that quonset hut, my eyes would have immediately fixated on that CMH ribbon.
It's just "Medal of Honor" that "congressional" thing is a popular error. And all the medals are not necessary to demand respect, he outranks everybody present.
I watched this movie at the Millington Navy base when it first came out. I was outnumbered in the movie audience being a Marine and all. They couldn't understand why I would get excited during some scenes in the movie.
So Gunny Highway has been in at least 24 years, has a Medal of Honor, and is only a Gunny? This dude done fucked up. I bet he’s been every rank in the Marine Corps up to Gunny twice and you know what? He doesn’t give a fuck.
The part that gets me about this scene, is that not one of them noticed the Medal Of Honor ribbon on his uniform. It always stands out and everyone in the military knows it. "Five white starts on a blue background."
“You couldn’t take care of a wet dream” is the absolute funniest line in any film ever.
Agreed, made my day, any day.
I'm definitely stealing that line. I can't believe I haven't seen this film yet. I'm going to watch it tonight.

Well well well I just realized how much I missed the younger Clint Eastwood's actions. One of a kind in deed. 👍👏❤️
Mr Clint East wood is the F Ing best … I love that Man Reminds me of my uncle Chuy Straight G Clean Cut ..!!!!
"I don't want to get my ass shot off in some far away land "
"Because YOU DON'T HABLA!"
Filmed primarily at MCB Camp Pendleton. When stationed there I have run along some of those same river beds and trails.
One of the all time great movies
When I was in the Marine Corps the Gunnys were so much worse.
And they didn't call your rack a "bunk."
I remember we had one that would grab us by our collars and drag us around. It never bothered us though. It was the Corps after all.
What kind of brainwashed bullshit are you two morons spewing forth?
I was in Jan 83 to Jan 87, and no gunny or staff sergeant ever pulled shit like that.
Underrated movie...so much fun.
Clint Eastwood can Whisper and shout all of the same time.
I swear it's one of the best films ever made one of Clint Eastwood best performances absolutely hilarious
It's a silly, childish action flick. Absolutely meaningless, pure popcorn cinema.
One of the most quotable movies ever! Never gets old
Just watched this movie last night.
It was perfect. Perfect.
The best parts were when he threw the radio across the room smashed the cue stick and tore of Stitch Jones’ earring
I hit Army Basic in 1982... Back in the days when misbehavior, misunderstanding, or being born stupid would get your bell rung by clipboard-wielding Drill who was concerned about your ability to learn.
I have no idea if it's better now or not. It's obviously been a long time since I graduated from BDU. However, I will say that such treatment got MY attention. 🤣 And I will stipulate that I did indeed deserve at least 2/3s of the slaps upside my dome.
God I want this in our military again.
Now in the army is sergeant rainbow, and commander drag queen.
Marines were always known for it. They got slack for awhile. Cry babies telling mommies the food was bad & they got yelled at. Momy called her senator, my baby is unhappy.
Believe it's toughened up again.
Boys soft & weak die in war, men toughened usually live.
Yes our family Marine, my brother Marine Recon. And I'm dam proud of him. He saw hell face to face. I've seen the tears in the eyes of these strong brave men. It humbles you. Your hear breaks knowing the horrors they've endured.
RESPECT our warriors. One day your life may depend on them. They'll die for you. Even for the nasty name callers. Who's ignorance is apparent about warriors.
SEMPER FI
Not with Biden running things...I'd go awol before they ever tried to recall me for service...
You couldn't take care of a wet dream,...God loves you, I know that!🤣🤣🤣
Just watched the movie, and it reminded me so well of how glad I was that I played the trumpet. The band was always kicked back in the rear. No danger.
The full uncut was.on last night on C5.
Mario Van Peebles was a great stoodge to Clint.
Clints best film & performance.
“It’s my will against yours, and you WILL lose.”
Mario Van Peebles was great in this movie! The Ayatolah of Rock and Rola!!
Great film. Teach this in schools instead of the junk.
You means show this in film class as an example for a silly action flick?
it still makes me cringe when he rips that ear ring out of jones' ear lol
You are in the USMC. Everything you need will be provided to you by the USMC. If it does not say USMC on it.
You do not need it.
I have always loved this move!
What was so odd was that the platoon didn’t know that Highway was a CMH recipient until later. As soon as Highway stepped into that quonset hut, my eyes would have immediately fixated on that CMH ribbon.
MOH
It's just "Medal of Honor" that "congressional" thing is a popular error. And all the medals are not necessary to demand respect, he outranks everybody present.
I think I've seen this movie ten times over the years.
My dad was a master sergeant in the army... Vietnam and Korea veteran...every morning before school was like this For me...
Enough said😉
I watched this movie at the Millington Navy base when it first came out. I was outnumbered in the movie audience being a Marine and all.
They couldn't understand why I would get excited during some scenes in the movie.
So Gunny Highway has been in at least 24 years, has a Medal of Honor, and is only a Gunny? This dude done fucked up. I bet he’s been every rank in the Marine Corps up to Gunny twice and you know what? He doesn’t give a fuck.
Best of The Absolute BEST!!!!
Ramon Franco, who plays Aponte (he says " 'Rah" at 1:11), also played Alberto Ruiz in the show "Tour of Duty".
Oh snap! That’s him? I never made the connection!
@@blockmasterscott I only found it out from his IMDB page, to be honest. But yeah, that's him.
The part that gets me about this scene, is that not one of them noticed the Medal Of Honor ribbon on his uniform. It always stands out and everyone in the military knows it. "Five white starts on a blue background."
The only man who could fight Chuck Norris, and win besides Bruce Lee, Clint Eastwood's the true legend. 👍
He may not scream like R. Lee Ermy, but his low growl tone and body language still make him intimidating.
I lived in the states and friend of mine gave me this movie on video tape ❤
I just discovered this. Might be the coolest badass scene 🎬 I’ve ever watched. Damn!
Clint Eastwood must have improved most of his lines in this scene, so great.
Still one of my favourite movies ever
Gunnery Sergeant Highway has the Terrifying Presence Perk equipped
Imagine people watched this movie , made marines and now are retiring most probably . Time flies
He may have been in the army (ain't ready for the marines yet), but he made a good Marine in this. Semper Fi!
