  • HE WANTED HIS CROWN ROYAL

    ON ICE

  • Maury Chaykin is the actor's name. He passed away last year.

  • Remember to read the novel by Michael Blake. You get to know the Major al lot better then.

  • IT'S A MOVIE PEOPLE

  • I person didn't get their crown right now.

  • It's sad that the Anglo Saxon and Native American cultures couldn't assimilate with one another. The Native Americans were just too proud and free to be made subservient to the Whites, and that pride led to their destruction.

  • The major went insane from battle fatigue.

  • these suppositions as to why the Major shot himself, while interesting and well thought out, are any of them supported by the actual book by Michael Blake? just curious..agreed that Wayne Grace's performance stole the scene...

  • I have just pissed in my pants...and nobody can do anything about it....

  • 4:44

  • 4:30 Is that crazy , nutty , hollier than thou, ego ridden America king of the world?

  • @Ellipser or one could think of it as the gradual decline into senescence & finally the death of an older, more noble, heraldic culture; a culture that honors its enemies instead of eradicating them. You can see the way he watches Dunbar departing; he would give anything to be there.

    Or I could just be over-romanticizing it. I'm quixotic like that. In my spare time I tilt windmills and court imaginary maidens :D

  • I love this movie! The isolation and solitude that Dunbar longed for after the slaughter of the American civil war must have been like a dream! The native Indian Americans look fantastic, they are a very proud people. It is a shame they are all but gone.

  • that major is a wuss. couldn't handle the frontier i guess

  • @scholarofsteel the major was feeling his own mortality. To know someone growing old, someone who's even losing control of their own bladder & bowels, but who still has enough mind to understand their own decline is to understand.

    I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in my mid-50's. It was a helluva wake-up call. A single surgery took care of it. I dodged a big bullet. I'm completely free of it, but I too understand in my heart as well as my head that I'm facing a gradual decline someday.

  • I'm watching this movie in Social Studies at school.. LMAO.

  • did you hear all the bottles clanging when he was getting the paper.

  • Most memorable scene in the film for me, and has been since I was a kid.

  • like this comment if you started watching this video while flying in jupiters radition rays of sunlight in the unicorn valley

  • The major acts nonsensical. Why does he wet himself and shoot himself? Something's not adding up.

  • @EgaoNoGenki there was alot of disease back in those times,and did not have the proper treatments to help medically and also not enough knowledge like we have today

  • @EgaoNoGenki the reason for the clip: the only person in Lt. Dunbar's chain of command who knew where he was just shot and killed himself. That is how the character goes to the outpost and is forgotten about. He had to survive on his own...

  • ...there wasn't anything anybody could do about it...he's a boss

  • Why was that guy acting like this and offed himself?

  • What just happened? ._.

  • Tremendous scene. This is from the director's cut - much better than the wide release... tells more of the story. Same thing during the buffalo hunt when they discover the skinned carcasses and say that it "must be white hunters." The director's cut shows what happened when the Sioux found the white hunters and what they did to them, but it was edited out of the wide release.

  • Such a smart lad coming straight to me.

  • He is insane or something

  • he was insane in the book, ashame too....i wanna know what he said while he had that cake in his mouth...lol

  • fantastic scene, fantastic actor (Chaykin). I know the whole piss-self thing is funny, but there is more to this scene, I'm not trying to be an asshole or anything, just a fantastic scene, iconic.

  • King Solomon if you dig in his "mine" for him then he will make you disappear and be nothing like him and not have to come back as something you don't want to be...

    Living in hell and sleeping in the fire below for eternity and a day...

  • for some reason I can see Stanley Kubrick loving this scene

  • That general reminds me of George W. Bush.

  • The furthermost outpost of the realm.....

  • lol

  • Sir Knight

  • The man who played the Major should have received an Oscar for his brilliant performance...

    After seeing this movie in the 7th grade, I remember getting a detention at school and when my teacher asked to me sign the slip, I scribbled my name the way the major did at 2: 22 ...the whole class was laughing lol

  • @ToadsMGodes the best subtle gesture to get people pissing themselves lauging ;)

  • Fort Hays Kansas is apporximately 200 miles from Fort Sedgewick.....which was a small fort in Northeast Colorado..it was not fictional.

  • That's what happens after you've lived in Hays too long.

  • @Blueveiner , Hawhawhaw! That was prime!

  • when you die you piss your pants, i wonder if he did? as he had just been already. Anyway this bit was a little random to say the least but this movie is brilliant

  • A little too much lead in the water, huh?

  • Ah, the good ol' US Army

  • that feather is goin crazy lol

  • I think it would have been easier just change his pants.

    But well... I guess that worked out too, though....

  • Awkward

  • Probably one of the most relieving pisses of his life.

  • Interesting...in my DVD (and when I saw this in the movie) They never showed the twoother men in the office nor the "where is my crown" scene. In a way it shows how big the office is. My version you get the illusion the magor (loosing his mind from lonieness) is in a small shed of an office and more secluded

  • Sir knight....I've just jizzed in my pants.......and it's prefectly normal, nothing wrong with me, but we're going to need a cleanup on aisle 3.

  • This scene is the only reason I ever watched this movie. He was also hilarious on that trailer park boys episode where he was also yelling about somebody pissing themself.

  • 3:22 that salute always cracks me up

  • Some people claims that he suffered from neurosyphillis but didnt people notice his excessive drinking? I believe he was depressed/alcoholic. 

  • this movie shows how the whites really were to the native americans. Truth is always interesting when discussing history.

  • he was in the league of his own

  • Does anyone realize this is the same guy from War Games that says "Mr. Potato head!"? Yes, yes it is! check it out on Youtube, type in Mr. potatohead wargames and see for yourself

  • @sadalite He died last summer. He was a great character actor—Maury Chaykin 1949 – 2010.

  • Sir Knight, I am sending you on a knights erend. Yod djdj kd kdldoppwqqpwoe eldlsfjsdk; lskoitdj jkdk vi diiisueuduuisd odlfisi s.

  • carefull with the body. He pissed himself.

  • It apears that the further West he goes, the crazier the people get.

  • Why did he-- oh nevermind.

  • YAW DIBBLE-LAW JIGG!!!

  • "Such a samrt lad, coming strait to me!!!"

    Maury Chaykin is an epic fatass.

  • Comment removed

  • RIP Maury Chaykin

  • hahaha

  • Maury Chaykin stole the show with this scene- and he is now dead.

  • Anyone notice the bottles clanging when the Maj. opens the desk drawer?

    Best scene ever.

  • This must be a directors cut...I have never seen the scenes with the Major before he shoots himself..and after. Fantastic movie..If you have never seen it..I envy you. I'd love to watch it for the first time again.

  • This is Kevin Costner's best movie..without a doubt.

  • 0 people disliked this... because it's fucking amazing! :D i gotta see this film

  • lol i dont think they had the word piss in the 1800s.......which is funnier.

    but poor guy. he was so boss thinking he was writing summn when he was just like scribbling. poor guy.

  • @lego398 ..you don't think they used the word "piss" in the 1800s?...Think again.

  • @lego398 you wouldn't know it, because they probably had certain standards for literature, but I too was surprised to learn that certain swears have been around way longer than you'd think. For example, the word fuck has been around since the middle ages.

  • After seeing he was little control over anything he losses it, still within his own mind he then views himself as a king having control over his land. And he pisses himself because he figured choosing to piss himself is control, because he did it "and nobody (else) can do anything about it". After that he loses it even more (The king is dead), can't handle it, and shoots himself.

    But I hear in the book he had a medical condition or something. The above is just what I always figured.

  • Well I never read the book, but I always figured what happened was, he was sent to take care of his little fort or whatever on the frontier after having a mental breakdown. Barely mentally stable, all that was keeping him together was that he was in charge and had control over what was going on.

    Then a soldier comes in, a veteran soldier who has the option of choosing wherever he goes and he *requests* the place the major hated most, to be sent to the frontier, ~Continued

  • To your Journey! RIP Maury.

  • LOL...I always found it hilarious how it seemed like his decision to shoot himself was spur of the moment...one moment he's casually looking out the window and the next he has a gun to his head

  • why did he piss his pants..why did he want his crown/crowd what ever he wanted?..who was the king?..why did he shoot himslef?..dont tell me to go watch the full movie..answer my questions someone

  • @tuvaluboi The movie doesn't go into details, though I imagine the book probably does... never read it. But basically, the guy is crazy, presumably from the shock of combat. And his lunacy (again presumably) is the reason he sent Lt. Dunbar to Ft. Sedgewick, as the post was abandoned, and in complete disrepair.

    But uh... watch the movie... not for this reason, but because you'll see a great movie :)

  • RIP Maury.

  • Thank you for posting this. This clip has three of my favorite actors, all of whom are gone now. Rest in peace Mr. Chaykin, Mr. Pastorelli, and Mr. Rocket.  Thank you for having allowed us to see your wonderful talents.

  • RIP Maury Chaykin. He died two days ago on his birthday, the 27th July! What a sad story for this great actor!

  • RIP Maury Chaykin.

  • He was one of my favorite actors. So talented and believable. Truly his passing so young has been Less Than Kind.

  • The actor Maury Chaykin, more known for its participation as major Fambrough in the film “Dance with Wolves” (1990), died in this tuesday 27/07/2010.

  • That was Canadian actor Maury Chaykin pissing himself (such talent!), who just died today in Toronto.

  • R.I.P. Maury Chaykin  you where always a good actor

  • @mejw1 he was great in owning mahowny...and trailer park boys

  • That guy does a great job playing a crazy guy...... wow... great acting...

  • My favorite part of the film!

  • I feel sorry for the major

  • the major was suffering from late stage syphilis. That's why he couldn't control his hand when writing and saluting, and why he pissed his pants. It would also explain why he lost his mind.

  • You're right. I think more specifically he had neurosyphillis which made the Major apparently insane

  • 3:34 is hella funny

  • please call me by my indian name - "wind in his stomach"

  • I`m studying this film in school....this,Timmons and The bare arse scenes kinda break focus!!!....still funny though!!

  • but why the major commits suicide? i dont understand ...

  • cuz he was slowly losing his mind..

  • "no sir" it looks that the major its very "rare", dont you think? xD (gay)

  • i have just shit in my pants and there is nothing anybody can do about it

  • pissed not shit

  • the major is dilusional- he thinks he's a king and that Dunbar is a knight.

  • @ichbineinfreidenker well yes i can't argue with that

    ..but dont we all :)

  • @ichbineinfreidenker He has Syphilis to be more accurate. The movie doesn't clarify that he does, but his behavior and the time period seem to suggest he suffers from Syphilis. These are common symptoms he shows here such as disillusion.

  • @ichbineinfreidenker He most likely suffered from Syphilis. Very common in those days.

  • I seen this in the theatre!

  • In the book it describes the commander as being in combat during the Civil War. He had a mental breakdown and was transfered west.

  • This was so funny I pissed my pants! and nobody can do anything about it....=(

  • Why are the english so stuck up?

  • one of the most famous/weirdest movie scenes ever!

  • LOL@ 3:22

  • long live the king!

  • Love the mad Colonels salute - LMFAO!!!!

  • 3:35 is the best part.

  • anybody know the name of the song that starts at 6:05

  • the song started at 4:09 and is called "Journey to Fort Sedgewick." It's where Lt Dunbar is headed to in this scene. Hope this helps.

  • My favorite part of this video is Fambrough's salute. Can anyone shorten this so I can just have a clip of the salute? Thanks!

  • To anybodies opinion, this fat guys loosing his mind coz, heading in native american country can be really stupid an suicidal.

  • GOD BLESS YOU (COVER UR FUCKIN MOUTH)

  • that made no sense what so ever

  • "i have just pissed in my pants... and nobody can do anything about it"

  • So you'd rather be ignorant? Okay. But you will regret it a lot. Do you even know why religion has developed?

  • Lukachicago19, you need to study religion a lot more.

  • Long live the king....*BOOM*

  • LOL he folds it really small.

  • at 2:07 Gemma, thats my neighbour in Toronto,Canada,Moery Chaykin...we bar-b-que with our families whenever we have a chance...super fella.

  • well, you can watch the full movie online, here's a link:

    blogger-films.blogspot.*com

  • He's like

    "I just pissed in my pants, and nobody can do anthing about it!"

  • I don't get why he told him that he pissed himself ._. or why he killed himself. I don't see how anybody could even have the courage to shoot themselves like that... on a happier note :) I love this soundtrack...

  • because he was crazy.

  • I took it to be that he was having or had had a nervous breakdown. Reasons? Could be many - sending brave men into near certain death might be part of it. Who knows what he had seen "at the frontier". He is portrayed as an intelligent person who is now broken and these are more likely to suffer, for they often think too much.

    The suicide could well be that the request was too much for him, could have brought back memories or, to him, the futility of waste.

  • I'd say he was the officer in command at 'Fort Segwick' previously, and escaped.......'The King is dead, long live the king'

    That means something, and I take it to mean the above suggestion. What do you think?

  • It seems to me the Major didn't like being anywhere near the frontier, nor did he like Indians, and was at heart a coward - and he knew it.

    Then, after far too long being posted at the frontier near the people he hates, an obviously brave soldier who could have requested a post anywhere, asks to be posted on the frontier amongst Indians.

    Being confronted by his polar opposite and knowing he can never be what Dunbar is, the Major has a complete mental breakdown and commits suicide.

  • Well, you must have a lot of guts to commit suicide. Not sure he is that coward then. I'd prefer to be killed than kill myself.

    I think he is not mentally stable because he find meaningless his life and this Indian 'conquest' .

  • HAHAHAAHAHAAHHAA had to watch this for history.. this was the best part of the movie especially his salute

  • his return salute gets 5 stars

  • He lost his mind, too much time alone on the frontier.

    I love his smile when he hears Dunbar's reason for wanting to be posted out on the frontier.

    This was the first time I'd seen Maury Chaykin on film. He is certainly eccentric.

  • Best part of the film.

  • why would he kill himself

  • oh my god, i just realized that the guy dunbar meets at the door is one of the ones who captures him later on! woah! nifty!

  • Lt. Elgin , even at hes capture he carefully  watched to asure Dunbar was treated respectivily. After the ambush attack at the river Dunbar later returns the respect that hes body is not desicrated.

  • He has syphalis-read the book, as there are many other details that were left out. Ever wonder why he said that he could not celebrate with the Sioux after they came across all of the dead buffalo and wagon tracks? He felt guilty, as the Sioux had found the wagons and killed the buffalo killers. But yeah, he had syphalis.

  • And my spelling is awful!

  • Who is the Author? I'd love to get the book

  • It was written by Michael Blake. And personaly, I thought the book was much better than the movie.

  • sir knight!

  • lol!!

  • The best scene in a long, long, long movie.

  • Kidney/renal failure...

  • This clip has the deleted scenes in it. Cool! I remember watching this at the theater with a great sound system. The buffalo hunt rumbled our seats! And when he said, "Sir knight, I just pissed in my pants and nobody can do anything about it" Everybody lost it! Thanks for the memories.

  • That's your opinion. Try telling that to an aetheist. They will tell you that you are going to turn into soil.

  • thanks for the clip, great movie, i have the directors cut dvd, nothing real specail, but worth having, i suppose...

  • I eat meat and love my steak ex ex ex rare. If you are a vegan, thats ok. Everyone is different, and everyone has the right to be different. You have no right to judge what others do. What do you think the Indians did with the buffalo?

  • if you buy your meat in the grocery store i guarantee you that the meat your eating is nothing like the meat the indians ate.

    over time your health is very likely to suffer because of it.

  • I buy some of my meat from the store, but I also hunt and process it myself(white tail deer, rabbit, pheasent, moose, ptarmigan). I also catch my own fish and turtle, clean it, eat it and enjoy it. Do you grow your own veggies?? I also do that( can them, freeze them, dry them) Just because you don't eat meat does not mean you can condem someone else.

  • oh, by the way, what have my eating habits got to do with this movie? maybe......nothing?????

  • i never said i don't eat me. your very touchy. sounds like you have alot to prove. relax.

  • you said, and I quote "I never said I don't eat me". I know it was a finger fart in typing, but the pictures it brought to mind still leave me laughing.

  • Thanks for this video, just what I wanted to see. This is sooo funny, haha:D

  • that dude needs a holiday bigtime

  • y did he piss himself iw atched this movie and ddint get it :\

  • The Major is under stress. He hates indians, his command and the frontier. He's stuck where he is. He's an alcoholic.

    A fit, young, smart and heroic Lt. walks into his office and *requests* a frontier position. *Requests*, when he could have gone anywhere.

    The Lt.'s requests forces the Major to realize he has totally lost control of his life. In a final, insane bid to gain some control he pisses his pants because "nobody can do anything about it."
