  • the best acting ever from jack Nicholson

  • The 3 minute scene which took 127 takes!! Guiness Record for longest retakes with a spoken dialogue!

  • 1:57 most epic part!

  • I remember when i first saw this scene i was terrified the entire way through

    such a great movie

  • lol when she says back up and jack does the little air grabs!!!!! :)

  • Fine display of acting... I bow to you, Mr. Nicholson

  • Reminds me of Thanksgivings at home.

  • @mongoose1138 I know exactly what you mean... ._.

  • He is so fuckin cool when he's saying "Give me the bat". I got a man crush right now.

  • AS SOON A PAAASSIBLLEE ~~~~~~~~~~~

  • This is my favorite scene in that movie.

  • This is the infamous scene which took 127 takes to shoot. I suppose Kubrick might seem a bit cruel for putting Shelley Duval through 127 takes like that...but ofcourse, a typical Hollywood director would've just fired her and replaced her with someone else. Kubrick stuck with it till she delivered the goods.

  • Ok Jack has really lost it. He lost it because of what Grady said to him in the bathroom.

  • This was always a family favorite.

  • i LOVED shelly's performance, it was so, incredibly skittish, she perfectly complemented nicholson!

  • I'm not gonna hurt you. I'm just gonna bash your brains in...I'm gonna bash 'em

    right the fuck in! Classic. Love love love this scene!

  • favorite scene

  • of course I'm concerned about you RAHM. I love you. Yes I know how important it is for you to live up to your responsibilities. I know what would happen to your future if you failed to live up to them. I wouldn't do anything to hurt you or jepordize your job.

  • Two people haven't thought about Jack's responsibilities to his employers.

  • Shes a horrible actress, sorry

  • @Buttefs8 are you joking? shes brilliant!

  • @rockrzk2 Sometimes I think that people confuse talent with beauty. That might be why they could dismiss an obviously-talented actress such as her.

  • "i not gonna hurt ya im gonna bash your brains in im gonna bash them the fuck in

    " one of the greatest line from jack

  • @Assassin0798 God Jack his really lost it, he's completely lost it

  • Yo Jack is tooo crazy in this part.

  • just an amazing amazing scene

  • The woman acting is amazing!

  • @Bruntti Yeah Shelley Duvall was great in this movie :)

  • " I'm gonna bash'em right the FUCK in..."

  • Anyone ever notice how Jack flashes the sign of the horns at 2:03? lol

  • @securityguardclass4, no where does he do it?

  • @dickheadedbastard pause it at 2:02

  • @securityguardclass4, still don't see it. Where is it again?

  • I feel sorry for the Woman, she seems to nice and she's being put through hell.

  • I could not stop laughing during this. I know it's a horror film, but Jack Nicholson has to be one of the funniest human beings alive. He's like Jim Carey's evil twin.

  • @MolotovCTail OMG THEY DOOO LOOK THE SAME

  • this is the last part of the movie!!!!please download all of it!!!

  • She swings the bat more then 40 times....

  • GOD JACK NICHOLSON IS A SCARY MOFO!!!!!!!!!

  • lool lady your ass shoulda been outa there after reading his "Novel"

    Once he showed up, i woulda jus bolted outa there

  • I think it is always good for a marriage to talk things out.

  • @Delayar111 Ha Ha!!!! Funny.

  • @Delayar111 lol

  • The difference between modern horror and the horror's today is that most of it applies to the teeangers and their short attention spands, im sure teens have watched this, but cmon, kids in my school have only talked about paranormal activity.

  • is this scary?? i might watch it

  • @TheGeraint123 if you haven't seen it yet, get ready to piss you're pants.

  • @WayTooDazedConfus3d oh,cool!

  • @TheGeraint123 you bet your fucking underwear. They're gonna be brown by the time you finish watching.... if you get that far.

  • That's right, Wendy! Bash his head in!

  • ‎"As Soon As Possible..." (falls out of chair laughing)

  • Comment removed

  • Wendy DARLING!?!?!?!?!I really thought he would kill her at that moment!

  • 41 Windy bat swings.

  • worst actress ever?

  • what a great scene

  • at 2:17 i love the face a laugh he does and the way he says that.

  • Jack Nicholson was perfect for this role. He plays such a great crazy man.

  • Reminds me of my father and older brother. 

  • He was so crazy in this scene. It sent chills down my spine the whole time.

  • This is nothing like the book, but I love it all the same. Nicholason and Duvall both play their parts with a passion you don't often see in movies anymore. Bravo!

  • as soon as possiblel =D XD i love that scene xd

  • As soon as possibel?!

  • Kubrick's movies were incredible. They made you feel like you were there,but you couldnt do anything about the situation. Helpless is the word. Deep conversations,Eyes wide shut, Full metal jacket are my tops.

  • lmao

    "maybe he should be taken to a DoCterr"

    his face is so funny when he says that

  • as soon as possible LOL Jack got jokes

  • He didn't blink not ONCE in this whole scene!!!!

    He's such an epic win...:)

  • Shelley Duvall's most demanding role of her career!

  • When he told her he was going to bash her brains in, She bashed his instead. XD

  • when he said i am not gonna hurt you! i am gonna fuking bash your brains in! funny if she said oh okay here you go (gives bat) ahhaha

  • I love his little psycho laugh at 2:16

  • @basshounder

    That's just him thinking God dam Kubrick gonna make us do this all over again... ha ha hahahaha.

  • Comment removed

  • "as soon as possible" xD

  • Jack is a  terrific actor!!!

  • Horror movie!!!!!!

  • I'm suprised he didn't brake his back falling on those steps that way.

  • Stunt man

  • Jack: You've had your whole fucking life to think things over.

    Jack: What goods a few minutes more going to do you now?.

    best line in the movie. lol

  • @lilrob328 , I'm sorry but I disagree, Shelly Duvall did a great preformence in this movie.

    Its a very psychological film a great preformence between Jack and Shelly. Stanley Kubrick did a great job with this film.

  • i never saw this movie

  • @Hershey2553 , you should see this movie it's a Classic. a Great movie.

  • you saw the best part

  • it's also on youtube

  • This movie is the best movie of the world, trash is boring. Great music, great cut, great actors, great director, great sreen, great hotel, great steadicam, great camera, great film. You can't understand this scene as a single scene. You must put it to the whole movie. But this scene has power. Stanley Kubrick is the best movie maker.

  • why the fuck does she hold the bat like that?

  • I love jack's ''oh goddamn'',like it was a big joke.Like he's not suprised she would defend herself,after saying he was gonna bash her brains in.lol,i don't know why but i love that moment.

  • @HandelandJ Cause she needed to choke up on it.

  • how would you hold it if you were her! i would be so scared!

  • my hands would be around the skinny end of the bat at the bottom, so I would have a greater range of attack (Jack wouldn't be so close to me before I could hit him) and I would also have more leverage in my swing that way and I would do more damage.

  • love this movie. it still creeps me out after all these years.

  • No gore, no monsters and no special effects. Just two great performances, building music and excellent dialogue. Modern horrors could learn a lot from just this scene let alone this movie.

  • Its a very psychological film, like Jaws. Jaws had special effects, but the damn shark never worked, but worked to the films favor. This has to be the best acted and filmed horror film ever. In my opinion Nicholson's best performance.

  • @WoolyOmpus this^

  • @WoolyOmpus Great point! Gore is a crutch used in horror movies when the creators fail to think of anything scary. Think about it. In 2 hours and 26 minutes, there is exactly one one screen killing, yet this is one of the scariest movies of all time. Much scarier than many movies with much higher death tolls. "The Shining" is pure psychological terror at its best. Maybe the thing that sums it up is that Stanley Kubrick create the scariest scene of all time with three children and a tricycle!

  • @WoolyOmpus Only one great performance...the one and only

  • @WoolyOmpus there is gore and there are monsters/ghosts plus to make the blood elevator they need special effects ..............................­.

  • @Stinky21 I meant in this scene alone. Not the entire movie.

  • @Stinky21 the elevator scene isn't supposed to be real it's a vision

    in danny's head what "woolyompus" meant is the film isn't themed

    around sensless exessive ammounts of violence and special effects

    like almost all of the films these days ...it's mainly because there just

    aren't any writers and directors that even compare to kubric

    he was an absolute genius ..one of a kind

  • @truthfilter i think maybe you "shud be taken to a doctor"

  • @Stinky21 what the fuck are you talking about now!!!

  • @Stinky21 I'm not talking about the whole movie I'm just talking about this scene alone.

  • oh it´s 2:53

  • 2:51 LoL Weeendyy :D

  • Shelley Duvall should have been nominated for an Oscar for this superb performance...

  • im not gonna hurt you... im just gunna bash ur brains in!

    if that isnt one of the most badass movie quotes ever I dont know what it is

  • "As soon as possiblah!" lol Jack's imitations are funny.

  • Stop swinging the bat, gimme the bat, stop swinging the bat, gimme the bat,

    stop swinging the bat, gimme the bat,

    stop swinging the bat, gimme the bat,

    (X 1000 more)

  • LOL Gimme the bat, gimme the bat, gimme the bat, gimme the bat.

  • Jack always, always gets all of the credit for the impact of this scene but it's all Shelley. She is the one who carries the weight and convinces us this is some crazy shit going on. She's giving the performance of a lifetime.

  • "As soon as Possible" Lmfao!

  • 0:11 makes me laugh everytime LOL

  • ' im not gunn hurt u .. IM JUST GNNNA BASH UR BRAINS RIGHT THE FUCK IN" that was funny .

  • "well, i'm very confused!" i love this discourse between jack and shelley!!!

  • i wonder why she choked up on the bat so far

  • AS SOON as POssiBELL???!!!!hahaah LOL!hail jack nicholson

  • 1:46 One of the best actors EVER!

  • it cracks me up when he said 'as soon as possible. lmao

  • My favorite scene of the movie.

  • <3 the joker :D

  • He's so freaky in this scene! Great actor.

  • people ignore how goos she acted beside the great Jack N. She was very very convincing. tears and all.

  • Very true

  • this film is so disturbing :(

  • Makes you wonder if it was the hotel, or his wife that drove him bat shit.

  • "I signed a written agreement! A contract!"

  • i love this scene

  • The Joker! :D hes still freaky.

  • best scene in my opinion!

  • you have your whole fucking life to think things over

  • I'm not gonna hurt ya. *arm motions*

    I'm not gonna hurt ya! *more arm motions*

    You didn't let me finish my sentence..

    I'm not gonna hurt ya, but I am gonna bash your F**king brains out!

  • all the problems of marage! not that ide know!

  • The way he talks reminds me of House.

  • OMG!

    Reminds me of The Joker from The Dark Knight!

  • Comment removed

  • Jack Nicholson is the best!!!! I love this movie, Its the best movie with Jack Nicholson!

  • this is so great, its amazing how you can choose it to be scary or funny.

  • in this clip i see a lot of jonhy´s depp acting in jack nicholson, like in 00:28

  • i love johnny depp, but in no way is his acting similar to jack's or to this. especially not to this. johnny depp is too laid back and too interested in light, quirky roles for portraying this severe an insanity.

  • sorry, I didnt ment in the way he acts, I ment in some gesture like in 0:20

  • This movie I heard is based off of a true story. This movie just freaks me out.

  • its based on a book.

  • man if they made horror movies as half desent as this thses days rather than making the 106 installment of Saw,

  • yeah i agree

  • 0:00 - 0:15 Jack Nicholson is one of the greatest actors ever !

  • agreed !!!

  • Is it just me, or is Nicholson for some strange reason a real turn-on in this scene?

  • lol!

  • Charlie Nicholson!

  • My fave part : Wendy! DARLING! LIGHT OF MY LIFE! All that said with this insanity on his face. Now THAT's a way of seducing women, you're all right, hahaha.

  • "Stop swinging the bat" is cool too loooool. ;) But you know what is the most terrifying about all of it? I'm afraid you can't act that well as Jack Nicholson does... I'm afraid this all is too real, Jack Nicholson doesn't really act... I'm afraid and really believe this is THE REAL private Jack Nicholson looool. What do you think?? ;)

  • Nah he's just great at playing nutters! If you see some of his oscar speeches etc. he comes across as a really well spoken and nice guy. There are actors who are just good at playing nutters: Nicholson, Dennis Hopper, Anthony Hopkins, Gary Sinise etc.

  • If you watch "the making of The Shining" her eon YouTube, you'll see that although Jack Nicholson is a nice guy, the role he plays here isn't too far from the way he acts when he's goofing off on camera. He's not crazy, but he has that twisted character about him. He is pretty awesome.

  • as soon as possible looool. I think I love this line the most in the whole film loooool.

  • Do any of you have any idea how hard it is to drag another human being by their feet?

    Esspecially a big one.

    A minute on the lips, a year on the hips!

  • "I said, I'm not gonna hurt ya. I'm just gonna bash your brains in. I'm gonna bash 'em right the fuck in."

    lol. X3

  • Get away from me!

    *whack* own. XD

  • Nicholson is always the best when it comes to playing crazy people!

  • I'm gonna bash them right the fuck in

    haha

    this scene is awesome.

  • I love Jack Nicholson so much.

  • Classic!

  • m Not Going to Hurt You, Im Just Gonna BASH Your Brains In
