"So I mean it when I say that if you can't appreciate Brando, I wouldn't know how to talk to you. If there's anything obvious in life, this is it. Other actors don't go around discussing who is the best actor in the world, because it's obvious - Marlon Brando is." - Jack Nicholson
On the set of this picture, a Rolling Stone reporter visited to interview Brando. As Brando walked by, the whole set froze, and Brando passed by. Jack Nicholson grinned at the RS reporter and said, "He's like Atilla the Hun, scorches the earth when he walks by. Not much leavins'."
@@paulcrewe3125 Those are some pretty damning accusations about someone you don't even know! And how is it that you're sarcastically referring to someone as "Mr. Opinionated" when you're offering opinions yourself? You've done more to prove that you are, in fact, an idiot than anyone else's comment about you!
Brando is fantastic in this film. You can't take your eyes off him. It's a truly bravura performance. Utterly mad, over the top, deeply sinister, funny, terrifying, cold blooded. In other words the exact maniac he was seeking to portray.
That’s how I saw it, there’s a very dark character underneath all that flamboyance. He got badly underrated in it, people just saw him as messing around.
@@SS-gz1lv No sorry but the godfather wouldn’t be the same without Pacino and Brando, besides the godfather was what pretty much uplifted pacino’s acting career
The thing about Nicholson, no matter how bad a movie is, if he's in it, you are guaranteed at least one great performance. In every thing he has ever done he puts in 100%!
I've always felt the Missouri Breaks was a tad underappreciated. It's not breathtaking, but by God there are some amazing actors and moments like gems scattered throughout. I think Brando's shenanigans became the sole talking point. It's all anyone commented upon.
This is very unusual for a character that Marlon plays and I like it! He is usaully playing soft spoken people when few lines with a great deal of respect weather he plays the hero or the villain. Here, he plays a cocky, very talkative prick in a sense. It really looks like Marlon is having a blast with this role!
Brando may have started this real acting ability stuff ..... but Nicholson finishes it every time, One of the greatest actors of our time, bar none, to deny that is simply ignorance.
Haha, that accent is terrible! The Irish accent seems to be a pretty difficult one to get down, I've only rarely seen non-Irish actors pull it off well. Interesting to see the interaction between these two though, I'm a big fan of both Nicholson and Brando.
One of the great, lesser-known, American-made Westerns. A good Western needs a touch of the bizarre or insane, such as Brando's character. If they ever get it together enough to do McCarthy's "Blood Meridian or Evening Redness In the West" we'll get plenty more of the bizarre.
Jack Nicholson and Marlon Brando greatest actors of all time Brando meant a lot to Nicholson good friends also they were next door neighbors Brando's death punch to the gut to Nicholson but he paid tribute to his friend writing a article on Rolling Stone magazine and buying his house
Nicholson said after this roll,he was more drawn to the villain type since they tend to get the showy scenes and dialogue. Brando blows Jack off the screen in this film.
I think the same thing every time I see some fucking ridiculous Rolling Stone list like the 5OO GREATEST ROCK AND ROLL ALBUMS ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!! Right. Sgt. Pepper is the greatest record ever. It's better than 499 other records. Total bullshit. But that's not to say art isn't competitive. It's as competitive as anything else.
Brando really did save this movie. He told Arthur Penn that he had a “real stinker” on his hands after reading the script, and decided that he wanted to play the bounty hunter against type to save the movie. As far as I’m concerned, it worked. The movie would have been totally boring without Brando’s bizarre interpretation.
You're on dust...... Brando was the worst thing about this movie. He drove penn and Nicholson crazy with his dumb ass improv. That stupid brogue he went in and out of was horrific. This movie would of been much better without him.
@@deancj1 I disagree . In and out of brogue ? I think the character meant to do this . I think Brando’s whacko ness helped make this movie great regardless of what the Critics said . Yes Marlon Brando has done his turkeys and pushed the envelope when it shouldn’t have been pushed but this isn’t one of them . I don’t know about the original script but the story was good . Of course Nicholson and the other Actors were superb also
@@uppercutgrandma4425 I think that’s a good possibility. Brando basically ran off like a wild bronco with his role in this movie. Kept changing every line he had been given. He had been known to just barely read scripts in other movies. Truth be told, it was a real self-indulgence for Marlon. He did it like that because he knew he could since he was Brando. I mean, what was Penn gonna do, fire him? Marlon wold have laughed, said “ok, bye bye” and gone back to his home it Tahiti.
@@deancj1 WRONG. This is the 1st time i heard of or seen a clip in this movie and I was instantly taken by Brando's performance. It made me want to see the movie now.
God almighty. 1970s Jack Nicholson versus veteran Marlon Brando is like the cinematic equivalent to watching Mike Tyson (prime) boxing Muhammad Ali (prime). Two very different types of champions in their field and you really can't tell which one might come out on top. It really is a dynamic of charisma and force you don't see very often.
Inder Ajith DeNiro lost his mojo over 25 years ago. He has immense power for certain types of roles,but not an all around kind of actor like Brando could be. Also,he can't improv for shit. But,to be fair,the one time I saw DeNiro totally nail a character out of his range was Rupert Pupkin in the King of Comedy.
Peter Lundh von Leithner jimmy Stewart? Henry Fonda ? Clark Gable, Spencer Tracey, James Cagney? Leonardo DiCaprio? Morgan Freeman? Richard Dreyfuss? James Dean? Clint Eastwood? Harrison Ford? Philip Seymour Hoffman? So many good actors why limit it to 5 ?
I don't think ANYONE was told Brando was going to do an Irish accent until he showed up and started doing it. Brando as usual just made up his character traits himself and the director just let him do it on screen. That really was the hardest thing with directing Brando, he would pull all the bullshit he wanted on-set and on-screen and no one could do anything about it because it pretty much always got results.
@@MeteoXavier This seems like one of the more polarizing roles in cinema history for whatever reason, it seems completely underrated I love this movie.
A Rolling Stone reporter visited the set while writing a story about Brando. He wrote that the whole crew froze when Brando walked onto the set, and just stared as he passed. Jack Nicholson cracked a grin and said to the reporter, "The man scorches the earth when he passes, don't he? Not too many leavin's'"
Chuck Stevens They were neighbors on Mulholland Drive in Hollywood for many years. When Brando died, Nicholson bought his house and tore it down as it was in terrible shape
hate to burst your bubble, but an actor idolizing another actor doesn't mean that he is not better than him....of course jack would say so, that's modesty, but he's a better actor anyway, and inarguably, he had a better career...
I saw this movie randomly a decade ago on a western TV channel my dad was watching after he fell asleep. I'm still surprised I don't see more people talking about it, was pretty entertaining and top tier actors.
This such a great scene ,so ominous. This is a great movie , the Missouri Breaks . Brando is great in this so out there . Nicholson at his defiant best . Great direction. Great production design.
Of course, Brando was one of the best, if not the best actor ever. He is peerless. But you just listed two of Nicholson's more commercial successes, not his critical successes. Try Chinatown and One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nets, the man is brilliant in those.
I agree about genius, but to me, Logan looks down. He's scared Clayton is going to kill him. Both characters make the error of not killing their adversary when they have him in their sights.
Get up!!Get up!! You floatin pieces slime!! Get up!! It's when Jack walk's in when Brando was in the tub has fucking badass you can tell when Jack's mad he's more than serious!!
yeah jack nicholson became great by default He said it best "When marlon brando dies we all move up on"..Ha ! nicholson never stood a chance against this man .This particular scene was beautifully done .Hes trying to intimidate nicholsons character by coming off unassuming .Its funny because people would talk about brando's flamboyant appearance .I feel he was making a social comment about how evil can be deceiving it can come in any shape or form .It's your ideals that shape you .
Nicholson’s hero was Brando, Brando was literally his idol Brando inspired him he watched all of Brando’s films when he was a young boy & when he became an actor he even said it himself he was apart of the first generation that idolized Marlon Brando were are the 4th or 5th
Nicholson said he wanted to be just like Brando the legendary acting and the great looks Marlon was truly one of a kind he inspired many legendary actors and still does to this day he will be remembered for ever infact he was in the most important people of the 20th century list in 1999 he will live on
I just love how these 2 men go at it it’s like they’re fighting with their words each one taking a jab at each other great dialogue … delivered by two masters .
FUCKING AMAZING!!!! I was literally just going to watch 2 seconds of it.. the scene fucking drew me in.. till i was SAD that it ended.. now.. THATS fucking acting!!!
DeNiro???.....Are you joking? DeNiro's not even in a top 20 list. He's a one trick pony with the same tired shtick, over and over, and over. Name even one great movie he's done in the last twenty tears?...."Meet the Fockers"? Give me a break! If you want to see what a truly great actor is all about, check out someone like Daniel Day Lewis.
Nicholson even understated,steals the scene.That exasperated wisdom,those countless expressions saying a million things.No one could touch nicholson from easy rider to the the border.This film and the shining,the border,and the king Marvin gardens are untouchable.
marlon brando would read cue cards not because he was lazy but because that was hes way of working,it has to do with,spontainety etc....................
The sole reason to watch The Missouri Breaks is for Brando. The story is routine and uninspired and meanders along and doesn't pick up until Brando enters. I imagine that all the little quirks displayed by his character were of his own creation and the director just gave him free reign to be as eccentric as possible. It seems like he was having some degree of fun, despite his open hatred for acting, especially at this point in his life. Whatever his feelings for acting were he still brought something to each of his characters. My favorite scene is when he crashes a wake for a ranch hand who had just been killed and shocks the mourners when he grabs the corpse by the lapels of his jacket and partially lifts him out of the coffin, sending ice chips (to keep the body from decaying in the hot environment) scattering over the room. It's both funny and startling if you've never seen the film before. I imagine this was suggested by Brando. The film is peppered by these weird moments. Whenever he is not on screen the story really falls flat, even Nicholson cannot bring it to life and his romance with Kathleen Lloyd is dull.
Um grande filme, esquecido pela programação televisiva. "Duelo de Gigantes" (The Missouri Breaks). Nesta cena, os dois "Monstros Sagrados" ou melhor; as duas "cobras criadas" que representam os personagens de Brando e Nicholson, num tenso duelo psicológico no qual, ao apanhar a arma, lançada pelo personagem de Brando, o personagem de Nicholson diz: "Duvido" (que ainda tenha munição) e aciona o gatilho, apontando para o chão. Ao final desta cena, a "comida", com os olhos, que o personagem de Nicholson dá em direção ao personagem de Brando, já dá uma dica de quem irá "rir" por último... Filmaço!
go ask people around without the names of those movies, I wonder how many people will remember the names of those characters if you don't say the name of the movie, I am quite sure even you didn't remember them but took help from imdb or something :D
Brando was showing his contempt for Hollywood in this performance. A fat, cross dressing, Irish accented gunfighter- regulator? In the old west? Brando just wanted to see what he could get away with because by this time, his very farts were considered acts of genius. I like Brando. I think the last good performances were The Godfather, Last Tango In Paris and perhaps a case could be made for Acopalypse Now. In this movie he was just goofing on us all just to see what we'd say. He could have dropped his pants and shit on the sand and people would have said "I'm so honored I lived long enough to see a true act of legendary acting."
Great scene by Brando.Definitely played it so that Nicholson's character would think he had a dangerous screw loose. Apparently the two actors were together in this scene as little as possible due to their mutual dislike.
I really like this western and although Brando acted brilliantly his Irish accent was pretty terrible to listen too unfortunately.Great movie though ,original
"So I mean it when I say that if you can't appreciate Brando, I wouldn't know how to talk to you. If there's anything obvious in life, this is it. Other actors don't go around discussing who is the best actor in the world, because it's obvious - Marlon Brando is."

So does Brando
The two best actors ever to exist
And DDL
One of my favourite films.
The two greatest actors in the one film!!
Brando played one of the best psychopaths I’ve ever seen in a Western before in this movie.
I've always felt the Missouri Breaks was a tad underappreciated. It's not breathtaking, but by God there are some amazing actors and moments like gems scattered throughout. I think Brando's shenanigans became the sole talking point. It's all anyone commented upon.
Marlon Brando and Jack Nicholson are two very talented actors just like Robert De Niro and Al Pacino too may Marlon Brando rest in peace
That's stellar acting. The best are, somehow, more natural.
Great film. Great actors. Terrible comment section.
Nicholsons' Tom Logan knew his time was short unless he dealt with that maniac.
This is very unusual for a character that Marlon plays and I like it! He is usaully playing soft spoken people when few lines with a great deal of respect weather he plays the hero or the villain. Here, he plays a cocky, very talkative prick in a sense. It really looks like Marlon is having a blast with this role!
U sound like u haven't seen last tango in paris, brando's best performance ever,
Always fascinates me how Jack struggles to cranks up his act when Marlon turns up.
great to see two crazies together....still you can`t take your eyes off them....marlon with a gun that shoots....lethal.

Brando-Nicholson-Al Pacino-Hopkins-De Niro are the best
I think it would be great seeing them playing
the Devil(Jack)and God(Marlon)in a movie!
I cannot imagine better actors for that!!
Jack Nicholson and Marlon Brando greatest actors of all time Brando meant a lot to Nicholson good friends also they were next door neighbors Brando's death punch to the gut to Nicholson but he paid tribute to his friend writing a article on Rolling Stone magazine and buying his house
Harry Dean Stanton, Marlon Brando and Jack Nicholson in one movie.....not the best of westerns but I’m glad it happened
Not to mention Randy Quaid
Yosef Demby you ruined my comment
Kevin spacey and lex Friedman brought me
Nicholson said after this roll,he was more drawn to the villain type since they tend to get the showy scenes and dialogue. Brando blows Jack off the screen in this film.
I am here because of nostalgia critic about OLD

Is your nerve gone? Well, he can have his nerve.
love nicholson but BRANDO has a bit more depth to him that i love ,quality actor sad he didnt do more performances
Is that an Irish accent??
BRANDO!
Art isn't a competition, there is no 'best' actor.
something brando would agree with.

Marlon is a textbook for anyone who wants to be ....
Marlon Brando, Daniel Day Lewis, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Jack Nicholson are the the five best actors to ever live. period.
I actually agree with that sentiment.
Meryl Streep and Dustin Hoffman are pretty great too.

No Denzel? 🤔
At the time Jack Nicholson was a prince but who was Brando? King? No, he was God!
Brando went Irish in a film? And no one told me?!

Jack Nicholson cracked a grin and said to the reporter, "The man scorches the earth when he passes, don't he? Not too many leavin's'"
He wanted an interview with Jagger then he thought Brando will do.
Thats so ridiculous. The way people just put people on pedestals is mind blowing
Fun fact: these guys were pretty close friends in real life
Chuck Stevens They were neighbors on Mulholland Drive in Hollywood for many years. When Brando died, Nicholson bought his house and tore it down as it was in terrible shape
Fuck off with fun facts.
I ve heard, they didnt get along through Shooting
this scene demonstrates why Brando is the greatest actor ever
One of my all time favorite Brando movies...he was totlly eccentric and very evil...great flick!
Anyone here because of Old?
Yeh that is admittedly quite an awful accent attempt. Shades of Leprechauns and Lucky Charms.

I agree about genius, but to me, Logan looks down. He's scared Clayton is going to kill him. Both characters make the error of not killing their adversary when they have him in their sights.
Wtf. This is too much. After I viewed Nicholson and DeNiro shared a screen time together and now this.. truly woah
Nicholson's low-key "alright let's calm down" body language when Brando pulls out the gun is funny.
One of my favorite westerns, Harry Dean Stanton was great in this as well.

Brando was showing his contempt for Hollywood in this performance. A fat, cross dressing, Irish accented gunfighter- regulator? In the old west? Brando just wanted to see what he could get away with because by this time, his very farts were considered acts of genius. I like Brando. I think the last good performances were The Godfather, Last Tango In Paris and perhaps a case could be made for Acopalypse Now. In this movie he was just goofing on us all just to see what we'd say. He could have dropped his pants and shit on the sand and people would have said "I'm so honored I lived long enough to see a true act of legendary acting."
Walking under the ladder was great stuff. CM's Judge. Just my opinion, man.
I don't know why this film got such a bad rap. The plot lurches a little, but it's full of crackling scenes like this.
Great scene by Brando.Definitely played it so that Nicholson's character would think he had a dangerous screw loose. Apparently the two actors were together in this scene as little as possible due to their mutual dislike.
+Dawn Baxter...Yet they were friends up until Brando's death,..where did you hear they didn't like each other?
+Rita Dean She just assumed, I guess.
I had never heard that before; about hostility between Nicholson & Brando.
+Dawn Baxter Actually in real life they were good friends and lived right next door to each other.
+Californian Because it's false.
I really like this western and although Brando acted brilliantly his Irish accent was pretty terrible to listen too unfortunately.Great movie though ,original
Brando is sick like hell here. Just great!
he's trying hard to get Jack to point the gun at him, & he doesn't take the bait
Brando looks very like Richard Harris did in A Man Called Horse.
Sounded like him too
This movie flopped but it gets 65 on metacritic and 81 on rotten tomatoes which aren't bad ratings.
You might want to read my comment again. Pay particular attention to the first sentence.
well, not as silly as calling The Shining a little flick....
"Why would he EVER say that? " exactly....thanks for supporting my argument =)
Movie magic...Brilliant Brando, Nicholson combo.
Two great actors bouncing sparks off eachother....magnificent
Watching the movie you can tell Nicholson didn't even try to outshine Brando. It's impossible.
Two legends going tete a tete!
