This was a great movie in 88, but Sean was also the first one of his kind back in the 60's movies. Not many of us left that got to see those at a young age when they first came out. RIP Sean Connery.
the most impressive part is he kinda sorta tries to do a different accent... haha. i dont agree with a lot about Connery. he was a wife beater after all. openly. but .. he sure knew how to kill a scene
@@patrickbyrne5070 there is no evidence that he was a woman beater except for an interview where he stated that maybe a good slap is in order if she pushes too far.

Are you really stupid enough to believe this is even possibly real? Military personnel do not receive that type of training and aren't that tough. I know. I spend nearly half my life in or around the military. Sean Connery was a movie actor. Movies aren't real.
Seeing those two on the same movie is true entertainment. What can you say about Sir Sean Connery? Nothing but greatness at work in any movie. And to have mark Harmon playing with him is sure joy to watch. Now on NCIS Playing Gibbs is total class. One hell of an actor. Like Sir Connery, both are aging very well and with class. Actors now are not with the film the are being recorded on.
I love how in movies thugs will pick a fight with the main character for no reason other then give them a chance to show the audience how badass they are.
@Steve Bosell I saw something worthwhile And I gave it credit And over a hundred people have agreed with me Who then I wonder Do YOU Credit For your arrogance and stupidity Ohhhhh Fuck Is it yourself ??????
@Steve Bosell I'm sure And all one hundred are in your family Your a clown Picking fights with people you have never met and do not know You wouldn't do it in person I guarantee
it's explained in the film, that he's actually Scottish, who's parents emigrated. The US forces will take foreign nationals, I worked with USAFE for 8 years, in my early 20s, had an officer ask me if I wanted to join them as I'd failed the RAFs medical, but would have passed the USAF's
One of the best fight scenes ever written into a movie to demonstrate a character's ability to deal with whatever amount of crazy comes his way. Sean Connery had that unspoken toughness, like John Wayne and Clint Eastwood, that simply came off in his movies without having to be explained. Classic!
Gog Mclaine I’d have to agree. That was some weak shit there. If anything, Connery would have jammed his thumb after the first strike and the fatass would have destroyed him.
It's not terrible, it's got catharsis to the writing and setup, the bully is flat but still easy to hate, leading up to a reasonable payoff. The closing line is alright. But the actual fight part isn't good and certainly very far from the best. It's a pretty contrived bit of toughness from scripted choreography, cousin of the overly quick and tight edits, or the fight doubles that beef up other peoples fights.
Fun Fact: This fight was choreographed by Hapkido Grandmaster Han Bong-Soo. He also choreographed the fight scenes in the Billy Jack movies. The thumb based strikes are actually a real technique used against pressure points and soft tissue targets.
@@tommym321 you think you could handle those blows? That’s adorable. Tell ya what. Next time you meet a Navy Seal you tell him all about how ineffective gouging techniques are.
@@concordetconstabulary219 yes. Because look at all the hand to hand training navy seals do. That’s why there are so many former navy seals who do so well in combat sports. Oh wait, I forgot; there aren’t any. It’s almost like navy seals devote the overwhelming amount of their training to handling weapons, not hand to hand combat.
@@tommym321 You do know that there is a difference in training for a real fight versus "combat" sports like the UFC? Navy SEALs don't train to get a win by KO or tapout. They train to kill you in any range. And they contract expert fighters in various disciplines for teaching those skills. Also, pressure points and vital point striking are real and do have a purpose. Just because you don't find them useful, doesn't mean the rest of us haven't.
Sean Connery's voice could kick a Man's Ass by itself. The ultimate tough guy battle. Chuck Norris beard versus Sean Connery voice. Cage match to the death
I live in L.A. and saw the actor that played the 'heavy' in this scene, in Santa Monica, right after the movie came out. Dude was laughing and having a few beers.
My grandpa was a WW2 vet one day when i was about 10 my PA got a brand new dodge pickup. He came home in it and picked me up off to the HEB we went.. He parked away from every one out in the parking lot. When we got back out to the truck this boy about my age 10 or so pushed a cart hard and right into the side of the truck...big dent and scratch. The ol man yelled at the kid and his dad came around and told my PA to shut his mouth or he would shut it.. It was brand new and my PA was pissed. My Pa said teach your son not to shit where he eats seeing how you haven't taught him anything else. The guy comes over and ask my PA if he wanted his face bashed in and my ol man said did you bring friends cause your going to need them. The guy took a swing and with only his right thumb PA jabbed him under the arm the guy let out a scream he came at him again and with only his thumb jab jab jab down the guy went in obvious pain got up and came again he jabbed him in the throat then in the ribs and down he went this time he stayed down. The ol man said see i told you that you needed help. And for the rest of the time my PA had that truck i would see that dent and think about the day i watched my old grandpa beat a bully's ass with only a thumb. I guess they teach you or did teach that in the Army. It was the coolest thing i ever seen.. Well back then it was.. Lol
I swear Mark Harmon was taking notes during this movie, LeRoy Jethro Gibbs came the Lt Col.! I worked for Master Chief (MCPO) who had the thumbnail of his right hand grown out about a 1/4 inch and cut square (referred to it as his natural screwdriver), and after about two decades of doing this he could probably drive it through a steel car bumper! I watched him cool a Marine PFC with it (and was giving up about 4 inches and 25 years), the Marine litterally RAN to the USN MP's to get away from Master Chief!
"Old school" was the last Legitimate school. predominantly produced men with Honest guts, not stupid guts. Mr. Connery was my last old school screen hero.👤 Not for james bond, but his other roles. May you rest i.p. Mr. Connery, you are already sorely missed. 💌🤚🏻
This is one of my favorite bits of character-driven expository screenwriting. It doesn't tell, it shows. Maximum action with an economy of shots. Great actors and good stunt people put the icing on this slice of action cake. It's one of several scenes I wish people who greenlight these "action flicks" would remember, instead of throwing away a half a reel of sludge where the characters "talking head"you into thinking that someone put Sominex on your popcorn rather than butter flavoring.
@@karlwithak. I once worked on a low-budget ($1 million) film where the lead character was a professional baseball player going through a slump. The “actor” playing him (who was also the writer, producer, casting Director, etc.) was overweight, and not very athletic. To show that he just wasn’t able to focus in batting practice, his swings would miss the pitch by about 16 inches. Incredibly unrealistic. The actor was “trying“ to miss, when all he had to do was try to *hit* the ball and he probably would have missed most of them - maybe fouling off one or two, if he was lucky. His ego wouldn’t let him fail legitimately, though. He wanted everyone on the cast and crew to know, “Hey guys, I’m intending not to hit the ball… I could if I wanted, but I’m actually trying to miss here.“ In this scene, the lumbering oaf looks like he’s trying to miss Sean Connery by a mile. He probably had instructions from the stunt Director, producer, etc. to be very careful not to injure the aging iconic actor. So this is the schlock we ended up with.
I love how he completely trashes that whole room and then walks out scott free. I guess they should count their blessings that he didn't throw that guy through the front window!
Great scene. Is that true about silver oak leaves = Major, silver = Lt Colonel? In British Army Lt Colonel outranks Major, yet gold is more precious than silver.
I take your point. But he had the Colonel's back, would you have done less? Besides, I would have done shit duty back on the base for the privilege of having his back and watching him take care of business anyway
as an apprentice i worked with an older guy joe mellior who was veteran of dieppe in france, when i dis as you do at 17 i use to go home and my mother thought i had some sort of red dot rash. you don't mess with a real marine commando, sadly faded away with the cancer rip joe
Now now, he said he was only going to use his right thumb, but he tripped with his right foot. All joking aside, Sean Connery is one of the best actors of all time, certainly one of my very favorites!
The man of a thousand voices. Who can forget his fantastic Russian submarine captain, or his brilliant Irish accent in the longest day. Yep certainly the man of a thousand voices. All of the scotish. .
I've always felt this was a ridiculously underrated action flick. It's solidly written, nicely in scale, and delivers a very watchable experience that doesn't need end of the world stakes to matter. I miss mid-budgeted action films like this that just wanted to tell a decent, satisfying story about regular people dealing with regular villains in non-superhuman ways that are grounded in reality.
@@Capcoor The good Lt Colonel would have been able to handle all of them. But it would have escalated the whole event where the whole bar would have been destroyed.
Thank God Connery left us a ton of good movies to watch in the wake of his passing. What a legend.

This was 1988 and Sean Connery looked old here.
We were blessed to have him for so long.
But Mark Harman is way young in it compared to Gibbs now.

@@felixcoria4583 All those Vodka Martini's shaken not stirred take a toll on you.

Exactly the same. The man comes to Heaven, knocks to The Door. God opens. "Connery. Sean Connery. You shee my shumb boy?..." 😜
Death comes to Sean Connery - takes one look - and just says, you know the way, honored to keep you company on the way, Sir !

One of the worst fight scenes I've ever had the misfortune to watch...
This and Summer School are probably the best Mark Harmon films.
I love when Mark pulls his gun and tells the other guys to keep it fair
And they wisely backed off.
I love that one of those toughs looked like Bob Ross
This guy a long lost brother to someone named Jethro?
I thought that was Mark, but had to ask for confirmation.
There was nothing fair about it.
I was thinking about that scene for years and years and now I found it again. Pure youtube randomness. Well played algorithm, well played.
Special agent Gibbs and 007 walk into a bar........
And Mr 007 has much more experience in those 2 thumbs than the big one has in his whole body 😮😊🎉
The left thumb really was too strong for that fat guy. Did you see how he collapsed after Connery thumped him with his left thumb?
And gets into a fight with jelly roll, Tom Hanks, and Bob Ross
I love how in movies thugs will pick a fight with the main character for no reason other then give them a chance to show the audience how badass they are.
Love this scene in "the presidio", Mark Harmon and Sean Connery
Sigh. So many greats have gone on that final adventure. Rest well, Sir Connery, you've earned it. We will miss you until we finally join you.

I know it’s just a movie but imagine the humiliation of getting beat up by a thumb lol
This has got to be the greatest product placement scene for Tabasco sauce ever in cinema.
Now now, he said he was only going to use his right thumb, but he tripped with his right foot.
All joking aside, Sean Connery is one of the best actors of all time, certainly one of my very favorites!
Awgggh, he blind-sided him - so what? LOL
Best actors of all time? Settle down. If that best was a list of 500 then I would agree but he's not that good.
The man of a thousand voices. Who can forget his fantastic Russian submarine captain, or his brilliant Irish accent in the longest day. Yep certainly the man of a thousand voices. All of the scotish. .
I''m a lieutenant colonel... and you've had your shixh. (lol)
One of the greatest bar fights in cinema history!
I've always felt this was a ridiculously underrated action flick. It's solidly written, nicely in scale, and delivers a very watchable experience that doesn't need end of the world stakes to matter. I miss mid-budgeted action films like this that just wanted to tell a decent, satisfying story about regular people dealing with regular villains in non-superhuman ways that are grounded in reality.
(Pulls out a Gun) "Guys keep it fair". LOL
Michael filmbuff That was the most effective way to deal with the possibility of three against one.
One of them looked like Bob Ross.
Never, ever bring a knife to a knife fight, that’s piss poor planning, always bring a gun.
im not sure 1 on 1 WAS fair.
@@Capcoor The good Lt Colonel would have been able to handle all of them. But it would have escalated the whole event where the whole bar would have been destroyed.
My dad made me watch this movie when I was young. I thought it was badass.
Moral of the scene? Never stick a cigar in a high ranked military officer's coffee.
Bob Ross fell into the dark side of the canvas!!!🤣
I'm glad I found that comment, I was just about to write something similar :)
Thumbs up all the way for this scene!
Harmon played this role so well! One of his best. Connery wasn't so bad, either!
The film is The Presidio from 1988
I'm willing to bet that cigar cost more than his coffee so the joke's on him.
