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.
Uhhhhhhhhhhh that is awesome. 😂😂😂😂 it's so cool he played along . Thumbs up
Gold!
too cool bro!
i love Kevin Bacon.. he's really a nice guy
Great movie.
I think what gets lost in the movie is every single actor played their part masterfully. Every single one of them did not seem like they were letting others run with the scene. Yes Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson were amazing. However all other actors held their own very well.
So true. In fact, when I think of this movie it is Kevin Pollack's performance that comes to mind.
@@webslinger48 Absolutely. Kevin Bacon, Demi Moore, Keifer Sutherland, The Judge who’s name escapes me. Amazing cast!
To me that comes down to each actor not only understanding their own role, but the other actor's as well. They all had their relationships with each other down so well that they didn't have to go over the top to sell everything. My favorite moment was when Downey looked over at Dawson when they were sentenced like he was his father, his protector .
I know were just naming favorites now , but I always found JT Walsh to be outstanding; like from the car to the confession is just eerily good.
@@JosephPiotter I love that line where the judge puts Jessup in his place.....something like....I'm sure I've earned it.
That's the sign of great art. When everyone seems to be working together and helping each other up their games. Also the fact that there are just so many great actors who are not really that famous. Game of Thrones was a great example of that. So many fantastic British stage actors got the credit they deserved for their brilliant performances.
Jack Nicholson is one of the greatest actors of all time. What he can do with just a glance or a smile.....
My sentiments exactly !!
Keifer seems like the most friendly, kind, grateful person on the planet. Bravo!
A Few Good Men has so much inherent, sustained dynamic energy...they really convey that something important is happening. Always a treat to watch
A Few Good Men is a movie that never gets old. Same with My Cousin Vinny.
Definitely the same caliber of movie. 😰
My cousin gets older every year😕
Dead-on balls accurate
Right on brother I’m so glad you feel the same way 😊
Don't remember Jack in My cousin Vinny. Though there is a big court scene😂
A few good men was the perfect storm of writing , acting. Directing. A near masterpiece if I might say
Aaron Sorkin. Creator of "The West Wing" the best written show ever on TV (at least the first 4 years) The first scene of "The Newsroom" should be shown on the 1st day of school in every school in the USA.
As is 'The Departed' for me.
Kiefer is amazing in A Few Good Men. One of the best villains ever. So under rated.
Have you forgotten 'Needle'?
Indubitably !
Also in “A Time to Kill”
Underrated? Lol..WTF? Wow are you foolish
Cruise and Jack killed that scene. One of the best in cinematic history.
Ab so freakin lutely!!
Before Lt Caffey gets Col Jessup to committ to ordering the code red, he rattles him with the two airmen, the log books and the fact that Santiago didn't pack or call anyone..his hand shook like an alcoholic when he drank the water to close him out!! BRILLIANT!!
That is called “preparation” and if any kid is reading this and want to be the best at what they plan to do, then learn that. Those are hours upon hours of rehearsal, likely on his own, no one watching, no fanfare, no Hollywood glamour. Just pure passion to do his thing really well. And that applies to any profession.
Lost Boys Still one of my favourites from my youth.
As a kid, I remember seeing this for the first time in the theater, noting how perfect it seemed, but also, it was the first time I noticed how good the writing was in a movie. A fantastic comfort-food film, one that I am compelled to enjoy every so often, like Sideways or The Hunt For Red October, etc
The storytelling is the bedrock and foundation which allows the actors and directors to shine.

HFRO!! "Russians don't take a dump, son, without a plan." ...This quote did not age well. 😂(😢)😂
The reverence in his voice for a master of his craft is the most pleasing part of this.
Let's be honest, Jack Nicholson is always good. Sometimes he's incredible.
You speak the truth, Kemo Sabe !
I thought they were all on their game in that movie and Kiefer did an amazing job as well! He’s one of these actors that gives you absolute chills when he plays the heavy, and so likable when he plays the nice guy! I always look forward to his next project!
Side note: The actor who played Lance Corporal Dawson who was not an actor, but rather a stage hand was asked to audition for the part and did an amazing job for his first role!
An absolute classic, perfect performances from literally everyone in the cast. Pretty much a perfect script.
I agree 100 per cent !
Keifer comes across as a right good bloke. Full of fascinating stories, great guest every time he's on the show
He's bloody smashing!
and a disgusting leather-faced chain smoker
Spot on he’s absolute quality
@@nodescriptionavailable3842 he's marvelous
It’s the Canadian in him!
And that is why he is Jack and none of us are.
It’s easy to forget the amazing films keifer has been a part of.
A few good men is one of my favourite films and I’ve seen it literally over 300 times
Wow, deep insights Darren, lol. What a dip. Kiefer's talking about one of the most influential actors of the last 60 years, in TONS and TONS of classics, many of them groundbreaking......and you're impressed by KIEFER SUTHERLAND???? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.🤣😆😂
The first movie I think I saw him in was Lost Boys, which at the time I thought was a cool flick.
Been a fan of his ever since. Was already a fan of his dad just from Body Snatchers.
Both have an impressive body of work. Donald is just one of those leading men types, that enter a scene and all eyes are on him.
He reminds me of Bruce Dern for some reason. You just want to hear what they say because you know it's not boring lol
Hollywoodist shortbus riders unite!!!
@@frednablesjr.233 PS: Who ghostwrites your comments, thumbsucker Fred?
He’s beginning to really look like his dad.🙂
I worked on A Few Good Men and Jack was indeed an inspiration.
REALLY???? Do tell! Wow!
@@TTM9691 I heard that he would eat his dessert before his meal, and one time he burped after slugging a coke on the set of Batman!!! Amazing human being. I heard that God came to the set of The Pledge and christened him St Jack and then God told Sean Penn that if he ever directed another movie he'd be struck with testicular cancer!!
@@murrayr7703 Triggered? lol.
@@TTM9691 yeah, that was odd.
@@Batman12810 Odd but more than a bit enjoyable than heaping praise on Jack all the time. I guess he did a good job - not that impressed as I kept thinking about Jack instead of the movie.
I have a lot of respect for Kiefer Sutherland, his acting in A Few Good Men was is top draw, everyone bought their A game to that movie 👍
Well said
Jack must have put them all on notice.
top drawer
Jack Nicholson. Awe. I first saw him in “Easy Rider” (in the theater when it came out) and was blown away by him. It was like watching a pro football player at a high school game.
The guy is one of the best.
Same! Loved him instantly in thst movie
Jack seems the perfect example of natural talent plus doing the work.
We've all seen people with talent but not enough skill and not even working on their skills let alone manners and professionalism.
Yes I call him Jack. jk!😂
Neek neek neek
Me too. What a moment. You could hear everybody in the cinema jump back and say, ‘Who is that guy?’
Me too... at a drive-in.
Keifer has played some great characters. 24 and Jack Bauer will forever be in my top 3 favorite shows if not still #1
Kiefer*
I and my wife had the good fortune of being late comers to the 24 family. A few seasons had already been made by the time we got into it. It may have been the first program we ever binged with Netflix. It was absolutely wonderful to watch a bunch of them at once and not have to agonizingly wait another week to watch the next one. That was back when they would send CD’s to our home. GREAT series.
Kiefer had had some pretty awesome movies. What a Legend
That was a great story.
Kevin Pollack tells some great stories from that set too on the Rich Eisen show.
Pollack is a gem. Wildly underappreciated actor. I remember the story he tells where he sat in for Nicholson's lines because he could do the impression and had the lines memorized.
Worth checking out for sure.
Pollack's recollection was pretty different. He said that Nicholson did the monologue over and over again, and that each one was as good as the last.
I was a crew member on A Few Good Men. I was on stage for that take. It was mezmorizing. The whole crew applauded that take. AMAZING
Jack Nicholson and I graduated from the same High School. That’s all we have in common.
At the same time?
his last name shares the later O with my first name
Great movie. Powerful and iconic scene. You see is satirized everywhere because it's so great.
It's a testament to the brilliant writing. Many, many people (including Kiefer, probably) neglect the fact that exemplary writers pave the way for actors and directors to shine.
Even "The Princess Bride" was excellent mostly because of William Goldman--not merely Reiner and the awesome cast. DON'T GET ME WRONG; I friggin' love Carl and Rob (believe me!). But the storytelling is the foundation of everything.

Great point.
I felt the same way about The Dark Knight. Heath Ledger deserved his praise but I loved the writing for the Joker like the ferry scene or the hostages.
Brilliant.
That is why a guy like Seinfeld is so impressive, unlike an actor who is told where to stand and what lines to read, Seinfeld writes all his own material .
Aaron Sorkin is the best writer of his generation
One of the finest movies ever made. I watch it all the time. Every actor performed their roles perfectly in my opinion.
Who ever consulted with each actor on their real life role and position was really good because everyone did an outstanding job of representing who and what they are. All of these people existed in real life while I was in the Navy.
Thank you. I did not know that
@arribaficationwineho32 just to be sure I clarify. I meant they existed in real life in their persona...as Navy officers, as Marines, etc... and how each reacts with each other.😀
@@jasonligon5937 got it. But I think this was based on a true story with obvious Hollywood changing things. I wanted to watch it again but it is not free on Prime. Oh! I might try HBO!
I watched a few good men yesterday on my blu ray player ( not connected to internet) and I said to myself, wow it must have been amazing for the cast, including a young Kiefer, to see Jack Nicholson in full display like this from close range. And today, youtube propose me this video. Life is strange, or maybe the youtube algorythm is stronger than we think.
Kiefer was my first celebrity crush back in the early 90’s. Gorgeous man, incredible talent.
Wish they would play these interview videos in full. I listen while I'm driving my work van so I can't always watch it live. Such a shame its cut down to a couple of minutes. Miss out on so much.
I agree squire.
They post them on the Facebook 👍🏼
@@11payneii11 got rid of Facebook years ago, became a poundshop jeremy kyle
That voice of Sutherland... Also, watch Jack Nickolson live, as if on stage? One of the best acting clinics for everyone that day
Played a game of pool with Mr. Sutherland circa 1998 in an NYC bar, not planned. He was cordial while we shook hands and during the game, but I had to duck out midway through because my buddy greased the house band to get me to play drums with them. So I go play (it was Brick House, all went well), and 15 minutes later he’s like, we gotta finish the game (some small stakes were on the line, lol). I just appreciated him remembering some nobody like me.
Jack apparently stayed in character in the witness chair and acted his part out when the other actors were doing their parts as well. Because, I just love acting!
Yup, I've heard Jack did that, from other cast members' interviews.
X everywhere (not overused) and green (not overused).. really so original (never seen this combo before) and should be taken seriously. Especially interviewing an actor! WOW, JUST WOW.
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
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.
Keven Pollack was referring to a line reading of the script. He did mention this scene, and said that after Nicholson nailed the scene and left, that he offered to read Col. Jessup’s speech impersonating Nicholson for the pick up shits of Kaffee and the judge.
Completely wrong, you don't know what you're babbling about. Pollack's story is from the first rehearsal, not they day when they were shooting the scene. (And Noah Wyle tells ANOTHER story that relates to the table read). Jesus Christ, yet more drivel being spread as fact by know-nothings on the internet. What a joke.
Well I guess also props to the director for not only asking for a second take after the first good one and then calling it as he saw it. Props all around!
If the movie is on I'm watching it.
Remote drop.
The speech of Jack Nicholson is indeed amazing but not only due to the great talent of the actor: it is simply true, every word of it!
How cool is that ... 🎬🎥🎞📽
Thanks for sharing that story, Kiefer.
"Mr. Sutherland. May I call you Kiefer?"
"No you may not."
Noah Wyle tells a great story about the first read though he sat in on where when it was Jack’s line he delivered it at full power and everyone in the room kind of sat up and got really serious all of a sudden.
Keifer's old series, 24, is probably my favorite tv series ever! Jack Bauer doesn't mess around!
I watch clips from Few Good Man every few weeks (and listen to audio clips I have on my phone). It is just perfect.
The script was so great for actots. It was generous with each character nobody was unidimmensional.
The guys who played airmen Cecil O’Malley and Anthony Rodriguez did a great job too.
He did great with his Lieutenant also! Great actor!
A few good men - practically a 100% perfect film in any aspect of filmmaking. Every performance, every single line of dialogue, every shot, every moment. Totally fascinating film even today. - In a way it is the "better" version of The Verdict, with a more gripping climax and stronger character arc, although Lumets film is great either.
Interesting that you make a comparison to the Verdict because I have as well. I am a long practicing attorney and these are two films with compelling courtroom scenes that, from the standpoint of legal accuracy and procedure, were way off the mark throughout. Still, I love both films. Then there's Philadelphia, which is hot garbage from a legal standpoint to such an extent that it makes me cringe.
A Few Good Men didn't seem too realistic as far as courtroom procedure, though I've never withessed a military trial, but made for compelling and timely storytelling. 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.
“You need me on that wall.”
Its a beauty this movie.
Jack is one of the best.
A Few Good Men is one of the best films made. The acting, writing, and directing were so polished and perfect that it's hard to think of any other film I've watched where all of that talent intersected at the same time.
I love love love kiefer sutherland so much, he seem like the most down to earth person on the planet. Like he talks to people like he isn't really a celebrity or famous. He talks like he is your friend. And I love that. Also he is an amazing actor too. Just got to say though, Jack bauer isn't dead, no way. We need another season of 24 lol.
Great movie, great cast!!!!!
A Few Good Men was amazing.
WOW!!!!!!
That's wild, man...
This film also made me realise how great an actor Tom Cruise was at such a young age.
Cruise was 29 during filming. It’s not like we didn’t already know he could act from pile of movies he’d already starred in.
Looking more and more like his old man as he gets older. Seems like a really good dude.
Ain't we all dude
I wish Last light would get more notice than it did. Kiefer Directed it, and played a death row inmate. Forest Whitaker played a prison guard, and it was incredibly good.
Here here , fantastic movie
KIEFER is a fuckin LEGEND !
What a cool story about a FANTASTIC movie.
Keifer diving into the Christmas tree loaded is his best work…
I think that This fellow gave a very provocative and demanding performance himself in this movie. He became that brainwashed marine, and I was convinced.
good interview....
it's one of my favorite movies too.....all the actors were brilliant.. Nicholson was unreal.
Kiefer Sutherland, IMHO, was iconic in his portrayal of Jack Bauer on 24. No other actor could have pulled off what he did for 204 episodes plus a movie. I have watched the series 4 times all the way thru, and he is perfection. It's meszmerizing---certainly akin to Bryan Cranston's portrayal of Walter White in Breaking Bad, and James Gandolfini's portrayal of Tony Soprano.
204 episodes and you’ve watched it 4 times? Do you do anything else?
He’s good in it but doesn’t come close to Gandolfini’s portrayal of Tony. Imo
@@tetsuoshima7385 have you actually watched the series? and also you didn't comment on Breaking Bad? The thing about all three of these guys I was trying to point out is that they actually become those characters -- there's no actor out there that could have pulled off what these guys did with each of the three characters we're talking about. The thing that Kiefer did that the other two did not do was the action part of it. Not only did he act the role perfectly, but the athletic part of it is extremely incredible and impressive.
@@jamespier7801 ha ha yes I watched it during the original airing (began 2001) over the nine seasons it was on, and then immediately afterwards, because everything was available on disk, and I didn't have to wait nine years to get through it, as well as no commercials! Then, probably every 5 - 7 years sense. Certainly incredible television.
24 should have been on HBO, to allow Jack Bauer more savagery.
Mainstream American TV Shows and Movies are too concerned with having clear bad guys and good guys.
Very dualistic society.
Amazing performances by everyone involved.I love Kevin Bacon’s line; »Is there a question in our future ?! »
I was a propmaker on that film. It was remarkable and I was pretty jaded by that time.
Great story!
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
Freeway was an awesome movie
That is such a good movie, one of the powerful...
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
More evidence that Nicholson is one of the GOAT
GOAT my friend, most natural actor ever
Wife and I just discovered Designated Survivor!! Phenomenal! We’ve got 16 episodes left and we’re already bumming!! Wife says all Presidents should watch Kiefer…to learn that’s how to be president! And don’t forget the great Maggie Q…she kicks ass and is involved in solving every crisis!
The first 2 series were really good. The 3rd series goes in a very different direction and loses it power
The Cast and the Movie are Truly Phenomenal!! One of my Favorites Too. At a time when everything put out seemed to be of the ilk, this movie was a Stand Out!!
One side note, I was so intent on watching this movie, that I noticed a mistake. During all the Courtroom Scenes, take a look at the clock on the wall. It’s Always the Same Time. Something like 2:28 or something like that. I’d have to see the movie again. But, I did notice it. I don’t mean this to sound rude. I was just so focused watching this movie, I was looking at all the sceneries.
Awesome
Wild .
That was good for production also since Jack was making like a million a day (all well deserved)
Kidder Sutherland all day. Just like his father. 👏👏👏
Aaron Sorkin was just warming up with the screenplay of A Few Good Men
I just this week, for the very first time, watched One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest, and several things about it really stood out for me, but the one which sorta stunned me the MOST just relates to the other movie in just this insanely symmetrical, strange and uncanny way -
Because there is an EXTRA scene focusing on Jack Nicholson’s character, which was not in the original stageplay, and was newly written and incorporated into the screenplay for reasons which are far from clear, but the scene itself is so utterly dissimilar to anything else in the rest of the film, it’s like it just comes out of nowhere - it’s a flashback, it abruptly interrupts the linear chronology the narrative flow of events, and there are also all sorts of unreliable narrator tropes being either hinted at, if not actually directly invoked, such that it afterwards starts to become ever more doubtful whether the incidents depicted scene itself ever actually occurred at all, and certainly not in the way we are being shown;
But here’s The Thing -
Perfection
Kiefer is legit 😎
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.
Jack Nicholson knew Rob Reiner ‘Could Handle the Truth’ !!!
This guys Keifer’s dad is a hollywood legend
HERE S JOHNNY ..I am JACK NICHOLSON
YES THAT WAS POSSIBLY MY BEST PART EVER
Talking to u later ’ guys
JACK
Kevin Pollak described that scene completely different. Where Jack did several takes of that to get all the coverage of the other actors and it was exactly the same each time.
Demi Moore never looked as good in any other film as she did in A Few Good Men.
In the scene where she arrives unannounced at Tom Cruise's apartment out of uniform, she is stunning.
❤❤
"You Cheap DimeStoreHood!"
😜
"You're damned right I did!!!"
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! ❤
Keifer is merging into Adam Savage from mythbusters.
Great way to save me to watch entire video just first 5sec.
