Strenuously Object Scene - A Few Good Men (1992) Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson

When cocky military lawyer Lt. Daniel Kaffee and his co-counsel, Lt. Cmdr. JoAnne Galloway, are assigned to a murder case, they uncover a hazing ritual that could implicate high-ranking officials such as shady Col. Nathan Jessep.

The part that makes no sense is why the defense was not able to acquire an independent autopsy considering the medical examiner had a conflict of interest, in that the victim was a former patient of his, and the theory of the defense was medical malpractice.

She could have saved everyone some time and just said “because it’s devastating to my case!”

Keven Pollack hit the nail right on the head when he told Demi Moore EXACTLY what he thought of Dawson and Downey.

[deremiahderrick]

Caffey pushed the envelope on every witness until he got what he was looking for. Solid

[tncavscout]

The judge should have said “I strenuously overrule your objection!”

[arkangelarkangel]

Kevin Pollack was right, they tortured a kid, thats all this is... I wonder if Demi got that stand on a wall BS line from Bruce Willis. 😂

Doctor here: in absolutely no way is that how lactic acidosis works. The body ALWAYS burns sugar, and if it can't it makes more, and if it can't do that, it burns ketones. All of these are functionally converted to electrons, which are then passed down the "electron transport chain" in a process called oxidative phosphorylation (which is ENTIRELY separate) from the burning the sugar itself. Normally, oxidative phosphorylation creates enough energy to regenerate the biochemical pathway required to burn the sugar. However, when oxidative phosphorylation stops (due to either lack of oxygen delivery to the cells or a poison like cyanide), the body resorts to scavenging as much energy as it can from the breakdown of sugar, and cannot regenerate the biochemical pathways. It is this failure to regenerate the pathway that causes lactic acid build up. So, perhaps a semantic argument, but either way, LACTIC ACID DOES NOT CAUSE THE LUNGS TO BLEED.

False: coronary and "cerebral" (aka brain) disorders do not cause lactic acidosis, only depriving tissues of oxygen does this. Most common cause in a person who isn't poisoned or septic (widespread inflammatory response from infection) is actually a LUNG condition (asthma or COPD), but even then, the acidosis in this case is usually secondary to inability to adequately exhale carbon dioxide (which when dissolved is acidic) instead of lactic acid buildup. The only time a "coronary" condition would cause lactic acidosis is in the setting of cardiogenic shock secondary to either arrhythmia, massive heart attack, or cardiac arrest.

This is such a great movie, so many epic scenes.

This and Hollow Man are the two times I love Kevin Bacon getting his due at the end

I guess I would have asked the doctor, What did Santiago's _autopsy report_ show? Did it show any significant evidence of heart disease? It did? So, upon autopsy, evidence of significant heart disease, no evidence of poison? What conclusions can we draw from that, vis-a-vis the lactic acidosis that killed the private? Would you like to reconsider your opinion to the court, doctor?

"Cause they stand on a wall... and say nothing's gonna hurt you tonight. Not on my watch."

The Cubans are going to hurt us?

[kylea]

The doctor turns the volume up to 11 while listening to shark sandwich

[charlespackwood]

Dude had ALL those symptoms and was limited to running 4.9 miles at a whack. I haven't run 4.9 miles as a cumulative total for the last week.

[dontfearthereaper]

"nothing's gonna hurt you tonight, not on my watch" Yeah right LOL

Two different types of childhood trauma going head to head in those last 2 minutes.

I just realised that commander Stone is Spinal taps guitarist Nigel Tufnel.

[dannyarcher]

Why is Bacon's objection sustained? The doctor has a clear conflict of interest.

[luistpuig]

The sorce of the whole thing was the guilty/incompetent doctor! He reported the kid was of fine health, giving everyone else the impression the problem with the kid was laziness instead of a really bad medical condition. He should have also been tried.

A lot of comments are about Dawson and Downey being 'thugs' and unflinching murder bots. Dawson was a Squad Leader. You don't get to that position without giving a damn about the men under you. HOWEVER, they were given a direct order by the brass. Of course they felt guilt. But they are programmed to kill when told to do so. And whoever said they intended to murder Santiago? They were just supposed to frighten him and have him 'fall in line'. It was hazing that went very wrong. This is one of the biggest conflicts in the film between Surherland and Cruise. In a way they're both right. This is why it was so vital for Jessup to be found guilty. The orders ALWAYS come from the top.
