Kevin Bacon was in town for Sundance and happened to be at my workplace, waiting alone in this long hallway to meet with someone. I walked right by him as I visited the restroom where I had a minute to think of something to say to him. When I came back out he was still there, hands in pockets, leaning against the wall. I walked past him, then stopped and turned around and said "You're a lousy f*ckin softball player, Jack!" Silence. Then Bacon smiled. Silence again. Then he giggled and said quote " ... You're whole team's going down Danny. Nothing I can do about that now." It was priceless. If I live to be 99, I'll never forget that.

Kevin Pollack relates the first take of that scene and it sounds a little different than Sutherland’s account. Pollack talks about how Reiner comes in after Jack delivers a great take and immediately starts telling Nicholson what he (Reiner) wants from Nicholson. In Pollacks account, Jack wasn’t quite expecting to be told how to act, and he tells Reiner, “Well, I guess I’m not there yet.” This was on the RIch Eisen show very recently.

There is a very old movie that might not have a Jack Nicholson moment, but it was exciting in a sly way and somewhat more realistic as far as procedural action, although movie magic took liberties and compressed everything. Anatomy of a Murder(1959) Jimmy Stewart, Ben Gazzara, Lee Remick, George C. Scott. Excellent cast. Duke Ellington Soundtrack. Otto Preminger directed. It, too, was almost a perfect movie for its day and genre, murder and trial, inside and outside of the courtroom.

When you watch Jack Nicholson you never forget him, he was in a Movie called the Witches of Eastwick, I am rarely so disappointed with a Movie, but one line stood out and it was the delivery from Jack, "Women, was it a mistake.....or did he do it to us on purpose" that's all I remember about the movie, how do they ever give out another Academy Award for Best actor? Nothing compares to Jack, now we know what perfection is all else pales alongside Jack, this was a great movie, everyone was outstanding but it is always Jacks lines that you remember, I don't know any other actor in history that you could say that about, Maybe Bogie, but the lines he is famous for he never even said, Eastwood has memorable lines, but only really in Dirty Harry movies, Jack could say "Hello" and you would remember it

I wish I had a Nickel for every time I've had to hear my wife walk into the room and say "You're watching this movie... AGAIN???" She can't handle the truth

I remembered kiefer, watching The Bay Boy for the first time in 1980's. I already knew his famous father and I thought what a tough act to follow. But kiefer was good, even terrific in that small movie. So I thought, this boy is going to be famous just like his father.

Great way to save me to watch entire video just first 5sec.

How about Kiefer in At Close Range? Small role, but he's one of the only survivors after Christopher Walken tries taking everyone out.

Great underrated movie. Walken was especially good in that one

I was a propmaker on that film. It was remarkable and I was pretty jaded by that time.

Jack Nicholson knew Rob Reiner ‘Could Handle the Truth’ !!!
@bartman89811 ай бұрын
Rob Reiner tells an even better story about how Jack acted just as well when the camera was turned around and was filming the other actors in the scene

I think even the fact the related actors knew what’s written in the director’s book of things to come, they didn’t know what exactly a well known eccentric and already Oscar winner Jack Nicholson would make out of it. And they wanted to see, feel and hear, how Kaffee the lawyer would get the right story out of Colonel Nathan R. Jessup. Historical! ❤
