  • I wish they had made a follow up film. Maybe called it Another Detail? Not a thing was wrong with this little gem. Movies like this dont get made anymore. They are all garbage. Except for Jack films. What will happen when he kicks the bucket? Arthur remakes anyone? Me either.

  • did it get you laid ? No. Then tell me Meadows, why the fuck do wanna go on chanting? LOL (classic scene)

  • What movie is this from?

  • what the fuck is an indiana dog?

  • Indiana Dog, Indiana Dog, Indiana Dog LOL

    e fiquei profundamente comovido pela cena onde a moça ora daimoku pela felicidade do rapaz. agradeço aos continuos esforços para o kossen-rufu!

    thank you Ikeda sensei!

  • I am a brasilian member of the budhism of Nichirem. In Brazil are much peaple who pratices the nam myoho rengue kyo. The BSGI is growing very much in Brazil

    This film is legendaly for SGI memebers.

    Watch,Gilda is sweet!!!. Randy chanting!!

    Coincidentally Denis Quaid was chianting

    SFmovie inner space 1988!!!

  • The Gohonzon people chant to is a reflection of all that is the best inside of us, so when we chant, we focus on it to bring out our highest life condition, thus enabling us to think, say and do things better than we normally would have. To say nothing of enabling us to feel better.

  • yes!

  • Might I also add that we don't chant to "bless our god" like has been mentioned in this video's description. To us, doing things like blessing gods is much too passive, and we don't find petitioning gods of any kind to be effective. What we do is more interactive - we chant to bring forth our Buddha nature, which we believe is inherent in all living beings.

  • was that Gilda Radner as one of the guest chanting in the group? I remember A A OH

  • Yes, it was Ms. Radner! I made sure to look closely! This movie came out in '73 (looked it up on Wikipedia) so I'd think this was pre-SNL for her.

  • Thats where i found the movie also, in a section called 'Nam Myoho renge Kyo in Pop Culture", there were quite a few references, including a Chrissie Hynde song Boots in Chinese Plastic that is really cool...

  • I've heard it! She starts off the song with "Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo"!

  • Yup, Nam Myoho Renge Kyo, Buddha please!!!, which really doesnt make any sense to us i know, but you can read the lyrics on on a you tube clip.

  • Watch me post that Wikipedia article on my Facebook!

  • sweet!!!

  • 9:16 WOAH

  • Thank you for showing this, we didn't realize we planted the seed for american world peace years ago, thank you, thank you!

  • I am very sad at what has happened to NSA. I got out of it in 1984. I guess there was some kind of split?

  • The NSA is now called SGI-USA. The SGI has now spread to 192 countries and still growing. =) We're doing great! And hoping you'll return someday.

  • i joined in 86 and we were NSA, then we changed to Soka Gakkai, not too much difference, just without the priesthood.....and its much easier to practice....and more fun....

  • Ha so funny. I've been an SGI member and practicing Nichiren Buddhism all my life and never knew this movie existed lol. But it's definitely cool to see what the NSA was like in the days when my parents were still in youth division. =)

  • The guy who is leading the meeting in this part of the movie is my brother, Jim!!! WOOHOO! -MEW

  • I love tis flick Its one of my favorate classics !!!

  • These words are very powerfull chant for world peace chant for the weapons of mass destruction to be destroyed, I wish the sects would get back together we realy need them right now.

  • he chakabuku'd me LMFAO !!!!!!!

  • i love jack's yodeling

  • Jack kills me at 2:58 in the video when he rolls his head around in response to the shouting. LMAO!

  • Two of my favorite parts!:

    "Let's see if it works, then you can chant for something really big"

    "Yeah like hows about the three of us get laid?"

    "Well should you chant for something like that?"

    "Why the fuck not?"

    "Well, it's a religion."

    and the last line of the clip:

    "Chant your ass of kid, but any pussy you get in this world you gonna have to pay for, one way or another".

    LMFAO because: *it's SO TRUE!!!*

  • HAHAHA! LMFAO! That was a great clip! The characterization of the old-school NSA mtg made me laugh out loud! What was this movie called? "The Last Detail"? I'minterested in seeing the entire movie now...

  • they don't make these kind of low key, gritty poignant, movies much any more...too bad..such good acting and experimentation in the movies of the 70's is truly missed nowadays

  • May I ask what happened to Mr. Williams?

    Honestly, I haven't been to a meeting since 1984!

  • George Williams stepped down from the General Directorship in 1991. Fred Zaitsu was General Director from 1991 to 1999. Danny Nagashima is the current General Director. He used the be the Youth Division leader in the early 1990's.

    Most of Mr. Williams generation have retired or passed on.

  • I remember seeing Mr WIlliams in Chicago in 1986, in fact i was at a District Meeting today when a pionner mentioned his name from back in those days...

  • I met Mr. Williams in New York City during a Columbus day parade in 1986 myself.

  • Danny Nagashima is the man!!!

  • @NMNHTV13 Was Mr. Nagashima in the film? If he was, where was he? I am delighted to see this. I have the dvd.

  • He's okay, much older and maybe a bit senile. I saw him, his wife, and son a few weeks ago.

  • Great classic movie ! Jack Nicholson and Randy Quaid are two fo my alltime favorate actors

  • I used to practice this in the 1980's. I often wondered what happened to NSA.

  • NSA is now known as SGI-USA after Nichiren Shoshu excommunicated the SGI. For this and other reasons the tendency towards conformism and authoritarianism that was the negative side of the old NSA has largely been banished. SGI-USA is putting great effort into ensuring that not even one member in the organisation is ever neglected or abandoned, just as Nichiren would have done.

  • I'm extremely pleased to hear that. There were so many good things about SGI.

    Thank you for that post. :)

  • My pleasure :)

    You are right. While I mentioned that NSA had its problems, it was still full of amazing and sincere people doing their best for others. Without their efforts, SGI-USA would not be what it is today.

    You might find video 4bvJnCEFojA ("Interview talk on Soka Gakkai (world peace)", posted by destinygd) interesting and informative.
