  • I love this movie. I love Jack Nicholson.

  • Still great

  • Another great film from Hal Ashby - one of his best, I think. Thanks for posting!

  • The Navy I remember as a new seaman. The Music added so much. I'm retired now, after 30 years service... just not the same. Sailors really looked after another then.

  • One of Nicholson's best movies & sadly not that well known ( over here! ). What the fuck happened great American movies? The last 10/20 years has seen a really bad decline in standard to the gutter level we're at now. Witless, boring 'OMG' trash for the slut generation is now considered 'Art'. Men acting like fags & women acting like complete whores is all you see in movies now. No real stories or escapism. Silly 3D Cgi SHIT. Movies are DEAD!

  • This is a great American movie from the 70's. Nicholson and his supporting actor, Randy Quaid, should have won Oscars,.

  • My dad was the bartender in the scene were he says "I AM THE FUCKING SHORE PATROL MOTHER FUCKER!!!!" He's also the bartender in Jack's Movie, "Going South". They were friends. Crazy fuckers.

  • When people list their favourite Nicolson films The Last detail is very rarely on the list. Its hardly mentioned in the same breath as Easy Rider, The Shining, Chinatown, Cuckoos Nest, Terms of Endearment, Batman, As good as it gets etc, Even with an oscar nomination how many more people were aware of the performance that was included with and some might say overshadowded by Lemmon, Pacino, Redford and Brando. Besides the fact he didnt win.

  • @bobgrantsbus i think the last detail is my favourtie Jack Nicholson movie!

  • @unfortunatebeam No. It's definitely ON A CLEAR DAY YOU CAN SEE FOREVER.

  • @goback3spaces lol oh ok so THATS my favourite Jack Nicholson movie my bad :D

  • badass is/was Robert Phillip Mask. U.S.N., retired. the original badass!

  • @toyznstuff R.P.M. & Glover on Shore Patrol. What a team!

  • I just saw this on TCM last night. Great movie. Is the CO at the beginning the same guy who plays the "Southern" Sheriff in LIve and Let Die and The Man With the Golden Gun?

  • yes its the same guy

  • CO? You mean the Master at Ams? They never showed the C.O., they just mentioned his wife's dedication to the Polio Box. THe MAA on this was a Senior Chief (and enlisted man).

  • great

  • Nicolson is brilliant in this role that should have gained more attention than it did. Great support from Otis Young as the fellow lifer and a youthful Randy Quaid as the unfortunate Lawrence.

  • @bobgrantsbus randy quaid has now a warrent for his arrest for failing show for a schedule court date.

  • @bobgrantsbus

    He was up for an Oscar! What more attention do you need! Save the Tiger: Jack Lemmon Serpico: Al Pacino The Last Detail: Jack Nicholson The Sting: Robert Redford Ultimo tango a Parigi: Marlon Brando

    That's at pretty good list!

  • Garrrrrrrrrrrr!

  • musta sucked with no pcs back then

  • Nope. People actually left the goddamn house and lived in the world.

  • great movie

  • I would love to hear that yodelling in my ear!

  • "Where else can you get a sandwich like this, and for fifty cents!"

  • i love to see this movie again, its the perfect guy movie

  • top film

    "i am the f#ckin shore patrol

  • Easily my favorite Jack Nicholson movie ever.

  • the best Jack N. movie! His character is every Navy guy I've met in county jail, rehab and shitty temp jobs...excellent portrayal of an alkie on the downslide.

  • @DeeDonner Jack played this role so well, you just knew that he was in the real Navy and not acting. I should know I was a member. The only reason Jack didn't win the Oscar that year, the academe doesn't know a damn thing about the United States Navy or the whole armed forces for that matter!

  • Jack Nicholson is a BAD ASS

  • You can relate to this movie if you served in the Navy.

  • They don't make 'em like this anymore.

    (The preview, I mean.)

  • or the movie for that matter.

  • 1 of jacks best films.
