Favorite scene in SOUTHERN COMFORT

[@MrFiveeasypieces]

R.I.P. Powers Boothe. This film will always remain my favourite of his work.

[@aarteestmj4958]

This and the Original ‘Red Dawn’ movie.

[@rayrichards5375]

So sad that this movie never got the recognition that it richly deserved. I saw it for the first time around 81/82 and have watched it on numerous occasions since. Some amazing performances and music. R. I. P Powers Boothe

[@urosmarjanovic663]

I'm not sure if it didn't. It was highly regarded back in the '80s, acting, directing and music. Also I only watched it once as a kid back in the day but the overall feeling stuck to me to this day.

[@kissel2294]

So under rated its a crime

[@fredkeeler1234]

This scene with the 2 National Guardsman nervously partying w group of seemingly friendly Cajuns while looking out for the killers is truly nerve racking.

[@jamesbowman8138]

Louisiana Guard⚜️

[@KevinR1138]

Agreed, this scene has stuck with me since 81. The fun music, pig slaughter, party atmosphere & looming dread all mixing together at the same time. In my opinion Walter Hill's best film.

[@jurban3a]

I tried to have a Cajun band play this in New Orleans. Recorded it. Sounded great at the time, but they were WEAK when I replayed it. I was drunk, and they made an extra $20. Cushdie.

[@jonirving5606]

I watched this movie with my brother back in the day. We still list this as one of our favorite movies.

[@pulse4503]

great flick but the killing of the pig is revolting for it's real

[@chrysalissartorious7648]

Looked this up just to savor the pg roast scene. Luv the music. I'm Acadian on my Dad's side so there's a connection, I believe.

[@KevinR1138]

I forgot to mention seven years ago that when I first saw this in late 81 or early 82 on cable, I didn’t know what to make of it from the starting scene…..but then Ry Cooder’s score kicked in for the opening credits and I was absolutely HOOKED. I waited for a repeat airing and recorded it onto a cassette tape so I could hear that opening theme over and over. I was always disappointed that there was never a soundtrack album although I think in the intervening years it was finally released on a Cooder film compilation CD.

[@jameswhittingham8027]

Everyone else: you can’t make Vietnam film and not set it in Vietnam. Walter Hill: hold my beer.

[@sudacagamer]

he actually said many times the movie isn`t a vietnam allegory.

[@fallspeed]

RIP Powers Boothe. Great actor, good looking guy. Shoulda been an even bigger star.

[@gumballrally427]

Agreed.

A fucking masterpiece of a film!!!!!!!

[@michaelsix9684]

music made by such simple instruments is amazing, Cajun music is a true art form

[@davsny5]

Poor Powers Boothe, can't believe he is dead. Loved him in everything especially Red Dawn, Extreme Prejudice, Sudden Death, Tombstone and Frailty just to name a few. RIP Curly Bill Brocious, I guess its kind of fitting to say: "Well, bye!" You are sorely missed.

[@lizcalas3051]

And played Jim Jones in the Guyana Tragedy. Fantastic actor.

[@Robert-d5d5l]

Not only a great scene, one of my favorite movies Ever!!❤

[@bevo1776]

This is an awesome scene from a fantastic movie! Easily, one of my favorites. Powers Boothe was the most underrated actor working. Rest in peace, old friend. His portrayal of "Hardin" from El Paso is spot on! That's how we roll in my hometown. I will miss you Powers.

[@Unknown-bq9id]

Boothe was from Texas IRL; he was born in Snyder...

[@jimoffutt9156]

That's a really nice comment. Cheers!

[@pulse4503]

I took the blonde guy for Michael Biehn before getting a closer look

RIP Powers Boothe! This is one of my favourite movies.

[@KEVMANWILLY1]

Powers Boothe was fantastic in this and such a great dandy in Deadwood.

[@Arbaal]

A fucking filmmaking masterpiece!

[@jontibloom]

Underrated Film

[@Simpleburger1968]

Love the emphasis that Boothe/Hardin is still intensely aware and suspicious of what's going on around him whereas Spencer/Carradine is fairly relaxed and thinking everything is ok......they both end up saving each other (if memory serves me) ...and then get rescued.... ? maybe ...

[@Rome274]

An all time favorite movie of mine.

[@petegasper2806]

The scene Where Powers Booth sees the knife and Then moments later grabbs it, realising its his only chance of survival he has is the best scene in movie history. Period.

[@Fist778]

The Powers Booth character was bad ass!

[@kaweah01]

Love that music, saw it in early 80's in Germany..........

[@jamesmorgan3212]

The Music is very haunting and brilliant. Really builds the tension.

[@courtney893]

[@GuyRification]

So much tension in that scene, goddamn!

[@CateringNNP]

One of my all time favorite movies

[@pressrolls]

The movie scene that introduced the Balfa Brothers to a worldwide audience. That song (Parlez nous a boire) is "lets talk about drinking....not marriage". That song and the pig slaughter scene EVERYBODY remembers. Well done. God speed Powers Boothe.

[@SunKing968]

I had similar experiences in Harrisonburg VA

[@Buppasiri1]

Saw this movie in Sweden as young and it's an iconic movie to me. We watch thousands of movies but just a few follow us thru life. This is one of them for me. I bought a blue ray to keep as a reserve. As young I cheered the troopers but today I cheer the bayou men. Maybe cause I see my self as a bayou man in Sweden. The state don't respect people living in the countryside here. They shot blankets on us every day in many forms. Maybe I'm a cajun.

[@petegasper2806]

Thats a complete lie. We have absolutely nothing similar in Sweden to this. While Powers Booth does the best scene filmed, among dangerous isolated Cayuns. We have absolutely nothing of that. We cant even carry a Gun in Sweden unless you have gone through a severe course of instructions and training. Takes about a year to get that licence. Its for Hunting and those people are extremely careful with riffels and guns. What We have here is a group of extremely harmless people called the Samis WHO are as passive as a human can get. Stockholm Where I live is much more dangeous because of gangster shooting each other over narcotics. We had more than 70 Death shootings last year in Stockholm, but They kill each other and noone else ( dont want to svaret away any tourist). So if you are not a criminal dealing with narcotics Sweden is perfectly safe. With the exception of our aithorities. The people Who should Help people in need lets them die rather than stop drinking their coffee. They really are the scum of the earth. The department is called Socialtjänsten and is the most dangerous department in Sweden. Instead of helping people as is their mission They let mothers and fathers kill their own children instead of stepping in to help. If you would classify departements around the world you would see that the Socialtjänsten in Sweden is the absolute most dangerous and incompetent in the world by a Mile stone

[@hegstad9]

2:47 - when these two cajuns appear - you know you don't wanna mess with them !

[@neilrafferty2097]

Underrated classic , it that’s possible .

[@US_ARMY_25_INF._DIV.]

I remember when i was in the Army Reserve in NY in 87 we went on our 2 week training at Fort Indian Town Gap and the guys in my platoon kept saying the line "This is our home and nobody done fuck with us"....as soon as I got back home I rented this at the video store.....only guy I remember from that unit was my platoon sergeant SSGT Larry Komenda...i was only with them a year and then moved to Honolulu...

[@J0nath0n.]

What battalion were you with in the 25th?

[@US_ARMY_25_INF._DIV.]

1/19th Infantry.....E Quad.....I left in 85 and in 86 after the Division went Light Infantry the unit was moved to F Quad and in 89 the battalion was deactivated from the Infantry and moved to Fort Benning and is now a Infantry training battalion under TRADOC.....what was cool I later moved back to Honolulu and served with the Army Reserves there and then moved to the Coast Guard Reserves at Sand Island and then to the Air Force Reserves at Hickam AFB...nice to hear from a fellow "Tropic Strawberry" Troop....Take care.....@@J0nath0n.

[@mikecotto1167]

The part where the two Cajun hunters seem to look right at powers Boothe is one of the creepiest scenes in the whole movie. Like they know he’s there and sooner or later they’ll get him.

[@Buppasiri1]

Yes, it's a creepy feeling that they will take him sooner or later even in the crowd. This movie scared me more than any movie intended to scare... In to the bayou...
