Failure to communicate

[entwistle4ever]

I'm surprised they haven't tried to remake this with Jude Law or Matt Damon as Luke. :-(

[unkonate]

Better line was "Shakin' it here, Boss!" as Newman was sneaking away.

[yankeesfan6300]

Best line of the 60's, along with "get your hands off me, you damned dirty ape" and "we all go a little mad sometimes"

[ofermisk]

Good time with this one :)

[applejuice95]

Best part of the movie.

[catbird007]

He said " NEVER" not nigga

[DaveWreckingCrew]

Please don't take this the wrong way... but, did anyone hear him scream "nigga" at the beggining?

[salemcripple]

@DaveWreckingCrew No, that was just him starting to say something else, but then changing his mind.

[tehjdude]

@DaveWreckingCrew Luke said "stop treating me so good captain" then he said "don't you ever talk that way again NEVER, NEVER!" not nigger, gotta watch the movie bro its pretty good.

[DaveWreckingCrew]

@tehjdude I've seen it a few times. I know what he says in the movie. But this video made me hear it differently.

[Hurricane333]

Having first heard this line in a Guns N' Roses song, I always thought it was spoken by a fat black woman.

[herrgunlovert]

yep:) thats my cousin:)

[Headphoneguy92]

Heard this voice clip in the song Civil War

i always thought it was this middle aged black news reporter lady reporting from an abandoned warground.

[nomadarmy]

i've memorized this. but i'm sure im not the only one

[SuperStonedWeed]

What we've got here is Failure to communicate *music starts to play* some men you just can't reach, so you get what we had here last week, wich is the way he wants it. well he gets it! I don't like this anymore than you. *whistling*

[SeksiGuza]

Clicking the like button here Boss!

[Bulhakas]

@SeksiGuza Hahaha good one!

[Denalynnnful]

cool vid

[GamerAse]

I DON'T NEED YOUR CIVIL WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!

[kingslice75]

I still love how this was parodied in an SNL sketch when the actor playing this guy was hosting.

[TriszDaPownAGeNL]

at 0:14 i supposed to be hearing slash..

[trimi38]

i dont understand this, can anyone explain please?

[abzdefg321123]

@trimi38 Watch the movie...

[mandaladouble]

I don't like it any more than you men...

[deeestroooy]

What is this supposed to mean? >.< and why did GN'R use it?

[TheRattleSnake93]

i still wait for GNR to sing after this line

[vicanflo]

@TheRattleSnake93 you're quite right, I've got so deeply associated these lines with GNR's Civil War song that whenever I listen to them I just wait for the song to start... actually I start hearing the song in my head... is quite strange...

[MrPhilliesfan18]

@TheRattleSnake93 lol me to 

[joelikesconverse]

@TheRattleSnake93

yer same, even know it came from this movie i still prefer to hear it by GNR

[djflargo]

The captain was right, stubborn a-holes like luke have to be obey, or civilization will end.

[LMAOUTURD]

Best damn line ! We miss you Paul.

[PestigeKelpone]

I thought it was a black guy that said it, since at the end it sounds like he said

"nigger".

[maven21]

@PestigeKelpone You must be a hardcore racist if what you see is clear as day white guy shouting "never " and whipping a white guy and think that it is a black guy saying nigger.

Well either a racist, hard of hearing, colorblind, or nearsighted..or all four

[PestigeKelpone]

@maven21 I never seen the video, only the audio, asshole

[xxXZatarraXxx]

MMMM.... justice?...?

[ikkuhXD]

this actually is also the beginning on a song of guns and roses

[viper8red]

This looks like a "Teeth Optional" movie.

[sano0311]

did he say n word?

[Stylin0nU]

that line is epic

[buddy39914]

haha i always thought it was an old woman speaking



[cuzaseso]

@buddy39914 lol same here!

[cuzaseso]

@buddy39914 lol same here!

He must have been castrated when he was a kid or something... XD

[wickednicestuff]

wow so its not an old toothless lady! now i havta watch cool hand luke in its entirety. gnr brought me here, hope the end of the movie is as epic as civil war song.

[namtesyalp]

wish black panther "king shamir shabazz"who says he hates all crackers and blacks have to kill white babies could be in this camp

[lasherslaugh]

"What we have here is a failure to communicate". Great line.

[MmeCylinder]

and I always thought it was Axl Rose speaking. well...

[Izzynized]

@MmeCylinder yeah me too!!!

[volcomstoner420KMK]

hahaha, such a good line from a great movie. Sad ending though, I won' say what happened so I won't ruin it for the ppl who havent seen it

[1STACCS]

@volcomstoner420KMK What did happen was a massive failure to communicate! :)

[crackerslash]

LOL this line JUST came out in the cleveland show and it reminded me of civil war by guns n roses so i decided to do a little research and here i am :D

[dam097]

Yeah same as every1 else I thought t was some old lady talking

[Heretic451]

@mont1994 Screw Major Payne--Cool Hand Luke is an actual movie with actors in it!

[larsinla]

I always wondered where that line came from - now I know, thanks dude!

[1984metalhead]

i know this from GNR song Civil War. When i first heard it i thought it was an old woman like you'd see in old war movies lol

[ELDL1989]

@1984metalhead Haha YES! I always thought it was a old black woman from the Deep South

[pennywise0507]

@1984metalhead

I always thought this too, man. :D:D:D

[1046murrcal]

Newman....best ever.

[hybr1dLP]

The first time i heard this song was in Guns n' Roses - Civil War, i think it suited the song perfectly, but i have to admit, that when i first heard the line, i thought it was an old lady speaking at first. After a bit of research, i came upon this clip, and it totally blew me away when i found out that it was a male doing the line. Never the less this fucking epic as shit.

[mp1323]

this movie is a classic

[stranded170]

Although it may annoy some, I'm glad that people who have listened to the Guns N' Roses song are looking into the source more. This film is excellent.

[mikossoq]

GunsNRoses.

[FTWEVERYONE]

t saw this when it came out....Up until this time..Strother Martin had NEVER played ANY violent or sadistic "In control" character.he BLEW the screen of the SCREEN...he was among the top 3 ALL time character actors EVER...terrific!

[MStaceyface]

great movie , that bit wit the tits is good lol

[FreakinSweet86]

This is one of the best lines from one of the best films ever made. It's been ages since I've seen it, I was really young and my dad was into old films, even films older than him. I was still in the mentality a lot of people are sometimes in where old films are crap and old, but now that I have matured, I appreciate what film has to offer regardless of age. Cool Hand Luke is such an epic piece of cinema that will no doubt entertain people of all ages, you have my guarantee.

[gabilxc]

i'm 21 i love the "old" movies, and hate the shit that show on cinemas now days,only special effects and no storyline.i think that this particular movie it's a pìece of art.excuse my english i'm from argentina

[dawnhaight]

one of the best movies ever. so many good scenes in it. no one can eat 50 eggs

[DougPatton1]

Luke was en ex-serviceman disillusioned with the corrupt system, got drunk and screwed the top of some parking meters, so they gave him big time and he rebelled agin that, so they killed him. 'Failure to commincat'e is the whole system geared to get any Luke steppin outta line. Same as petty offender Nichloson in The Cuckoo's Nest - they don't like free-thinkers in their free democracies.

[HankTuds]

How true, DougPatton 1. Could not have put it any better.

[gabilxc]

i've only watch this movie once in a few days ago, in a channel that show "old" movies and tv series, i i think that i'll never gonna see it again in tv..

the film it's excellent, but i still dont get if at the end luke dies or if he's got injured by the shot in the neck and it's on recovery in the prision's hospital (xcuse y english)

[DougPatton1]

@gabilxc Catching up on your post. I believe that Luke is unofficially killed/fascist-state-executed as his big-buddy said (paraphrased) "They got Luke but he was a good ole boy".

[leighnassau]

i always thought bob dylan said this about ho chi min! haha its his tone of voice and accent i guess

[hadban77]

lol, i thought it was axl XD

[YourPrivateArea]

i thought it was a womans voice XD

[acdcman900]

i thought the same, i thought it was an old woman's voice :P

[mikeyz75]

This line is epic

[HaggisMcMutton263]

he sounds like Moe from the Simpsons

[Gr3atness23]

not at all

[doomslayer133]

maybe to you,but not to any of us.

[MrMatto91]

Communicake

[juanmanay87]

look at this two mens fighting.... what a shame....

[oros123456]

Excuse me... What we're you saying? Comincake...

[WinterMilitia]

Now, What we've got he'ah is failuh to cummuniCAKE

[clecre]

when he finish in my head i hear "look at your young men fight"

[troutangler23]

it's actually "look at your young men fighting" but you're close.

[clecre]

thank you shakespeare

[clecre]

are you kidding?have you ever go to school? shakespeare ends with "e" ignorant, read a bit more man and think before show your stupidity to the whole net

[ROONTANG]

The whole net is thinking you're stupid for actually giving a shit. :-)

[AceofSpade29]

wat ever i saw on Tv made this funny it kept replayin it back n forth and it sounded hilarious

[sr19]

i thought it was a woman who said it

[XplodingGuy]

so did I lol

sounds like it from the song

[sr19]

why the hell have i got thumbs down? i never saw the film only heard it on civil war, and donnt try and tell me that it cannot be mistaken for an old womans voice

[Tomasch]

haha now you've even got 2 down!

[NAGGERNUTZ]

Strother Martin quotes. Quiz question: "Who pray tell is this famous litigator that I was so ignorant of just a few minutes ago?" What movie?

[bigbubba954]

I like it better with Guns n Roses in the backround

[JacksonPerdue]

thats me and my dad!

[UltMitSinner78]

My dad said I should watch this movie I was a young teen at the time. It looked old and I wasn't too interested at first. I did sit down and watch and I loved it. A great movie in any decade.

[Movieman47]

RIP Paul Newman

[zeroleminski]

LOL!!!1

[LittleDevil0071]

why do people always think that this is from the song civil war?

[xna7ex]

read the clip description

[ButteredMilk]

LittleDevil, it is from the song Civil War. They used this line in the song.

[SuperDieMaxx]

yeah but it was originally from cool hand luke

[ButteredMilk]

I know.

[bigbubba954]

Read the description, then turn on G n R to hear what we mean.

[danastev924]

Awesome line - All I can ever think of now is the segueway into "Civil War"

[SoupWOW]

Here Here. I can hear Axl's whistling now ...

[iago68]

wtf is a segueway? is that like a segue's way of doing something?

[danastev924]

no - a segueway is what comes next. (i.e. Queen's song "We Are the Champions" should segueway right after "We Will Rock You") After the failure to communicate line, GnR go into the song, "Civil War"

[mutetrouserfly]

No, that's a segue.

[danastev924]

Thank you -- All my life I called it 'segueway'. Sorry Iago68 - Sometimes I need to be branded as a dumb guinee from Jersey

[lowPaycheck]

I had it on my cell's VM in 97'

[tomloft2000]

anthem for the times.

[Orangetitanfan]

I actually took the " What we have here is a failure to communicate, some men you just can't reach" part and recorded it on my voice mail for my cell phone Now whenver I get a phoner call that is what you get right before my message. Freaking Hilarious if you ask me, LOL!!!!!!!!!!

[upchuck001]

That's pretty good.

[kelvinkloud]

great idea... how does one do this, I may have to rip your idea off, its that good.

[bookishmuch]

Strother Martin is delightfully creepy and sadistic in this movie. I think his character is just as complex as Newman's. Just not as hott. Lol.

[kelvinkloud]

you would've had to have lived in the pre-1970's south or at the very least studied that culture to truely appreciate the genious of s martin's acting here... throughout the movie, he played an amped up version of the tenn williams big daddy southern patriarch template.. a unique & nasty form of patronizing w/ daddy jovial vibe yet emasculating men to boys.. those that fight back get vicious reprisal.. if u know the old south, u know this is spot on.

[Orangetitanfan]

the saying starts at 9 seconds and stops at 20 seconds if that helps you any.

[PhillipCreeper]

Awesome and memorable line by Strother Martin! Fantastic1

[hossmitchell]

some men you just can't reach

[bonzobruno]

This is what we need in this country, good old fashioned dicipline. then these hoody scum can let us live normal lives.

[marwa77777]

I'm pretty sure thats the last thing needed

[bonzobruno]

you mug...

[xJESUSisMAGICx]

baaahahhhahahhahhahhahahhahha.­..fuck you and your normal fucking life

[paulieoakenfold]

I don't need your Civi War ;)

[000266617]

Why do so many watch this version when the other is more clear picture?

Anyway, "Failure to communicate," "Paul Neuman singing plastic Jesus" and the "Egg eating bet" are three of the must see parts of this.

[Magnus27]

I thought the blond bombshell getting all wet and soapy while washing her car was the must-see part of the film!

[000266617]

Magnus27, The "failure to comunicate" line is listed as one of those top movie quote things, the song sung by Newman is listed as a favorite scene by fans. For some reason, the car wash scene is not as talked about as much as the other great scenes.

[redpurplesoda]

Cool Hand Luke is one of my favorite movies.....

[hossmitchell]

what we have failure to communicate...

[x101st]

Strother Martin (RIP 1982) was in fine form for this movie. What an actor! Jesus loves us all! John 3-16

[IamCOOOOOOOL]

x101st, you're an idiot.

[martingonzo]

hey this is the guns n roses sogn 'civil war' its the intro of the song cool

[topgear1138]

Real intelligent 432F01. Are you really this ignorant or was it just a joke?

Classic scene by the way.

[432F01]

This is the kind of thing we should be doing to prisoners now. Work 'em until they drop and if they don't like that, beat their brains out with a slap jack until they do.

[DumpsterBoy56]

i love this!

[tattooine068]

one of my favoutite films , a must see

[a9l5f]

doo d-d-dodododo doo (whistle)(whistle)(whistle)

haha. always wonder what that line was from. i always thought it was originally from major payne :D

[fastoch13]

Nice part man, thank you

[WigSplitter11]

cool, thats the begining of civil war by Guns N' Roses

[dodge69874]

I love it. Thats in the Guns N' Roses song Civil War from the 1991 album Use Your Illusion II right?

[c2zero]

[KasperTh]

[makketue]

[Shiryu06]

[OLDS98]
