This is a 100% performance by Nicholson. Look at this scene. After the orderly tries to discourage him from talking to the Chief, he retorts, and when he looks back at Chief he gives an incredulous shake of the head as if to blow him off. Like one of the guys who is supposed to be in charge of the "crazies" is crazy himself because he just expects so little of them. What a performance.
BTW, I can't find it on here (YT), but I like the inmates vs. staff basketball game even better than this one. When Chief scored and then starts running up the court it brought tears to my eyes.
I sincerely belive this is where robert parish's nickname came from. The posture, the facial expression (or lack of it), the way he walked down the court after each shot...
Put it in the basket Chief !

How about that ominous look from Nurse Ratched in the window at the end? The ominous tone, a foreboding sign of things to come.

I like when McMurphy gives props to the old wheelchair General: "Where the fuck you going Bancini? General, get this man around here!"
This movie invokes such a wide range of emotions, truly one of the finest performances ever committed to film!
