We're Mutants - Stripes (7/8) Movie CLIP (1981) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Winger (Bill Murray) inspires the troops with a rousing speech about American greatness and "Old Yeller."

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Bill Murray decides to be all that he can be -- and it ain't pretty -- in this hit comedy. John Winger (Murray) is a quick-witted but unambitious loser who comes home after getting fired to discover that his car has been repossessed and his girlfriend is leaving him. With no idea of what to do next, John and his best friend Russell Ziskey (Harold Ramis) impulsively join the Army, more as a practical joke than a career goal. John and Russell find themselves in basic training under the hard-nosed and impatient Sgt. Hulka (Warren Oates), who is stuck with an outfit of goofballs, including overweight Ox (John Candy), naive Cruiser (John Deihl), perpetually stoned Elmo (Judge Reinhold), and the appropriately-nicknamed Psycho (Conrad Dunn). The platoon succeeds in impressing the generals spite of themselves, and John and Russell even find time to romance two pretty female MPs, Stella (P.J. Soles) and Louise (Sean Young). However, when John and Russell commandeer a high-tech military vehicle for a European weekend getaway with the girls, they happen into Soviet territory and stumble into an international incident. Remarkably, Stripes was made with the full cooperation of the U.S. Army, despite its less-than-rosy view of the all-volunteer armed forces.

HIT US UP:

[irkedd]

I have to admit it. Bill Murray makes any movie better just by being in it. rock on.

[vasilisneorun]

.. John Candys expression when he raises his hand is priceless...

[austin]

"We're 10-1!" Absolutely incredible line considering this is only 6 years after Vietnam ended. Bill Murray is a man of the people. The military can be such propaganda, but he's out here spitting the truth this entire speech and it still fires these guys up. Comedic genius.

[OMGITZRUFFLZ]

I was in the military. That is how ACTUAL good leader would talk

[roberthoffhines]

John Candy steals the scene with the subtlest gesture...Man.

[crusinscamp]

the bit about how we're all mutts gets me every time

[ronaldshank]

This
This
Led these Soldiers through their overnight courses, then led them onto the Parade Grounds, so they could
And, shockingly, and very suddenly, led these Fighting Men through the most rigorous, difficult, and yet, amazing, shows of Army Drill Team Showmanship, that was ever even known to exist, at that
And did it, without Sergeant Hulka to help
If this kind of Inspiration doesn't stir something up inside of you, you're already This was stellar, and way beyond belief -But he got the job

[JackieWaugh-unzw]

I love this movie i grew up watching it RIP Harold Ramis and John Candy

[egosumhomovespertilionem]

"We've been kicking ass for 200 years. We're 10-1."

[mrsppmickey]

One of my favorite movies of all time.  Love Bill Murray's speech.  Rest in Peace Harold Ramos.

[szqsk]

"We were all stupid enough to join the army. We're mutants"! Lol!

[johnhareiel]

D*mnit! One of the Best Speeches in any movie in History! Right beside Rockys 'It ain't how hard you can hit but how hard you get hit and keep getting up'!

[austin]

There is so much truth in this camouflaged (hah no pun intended) in humor. That's why Bill Murray is terrific. The guy just understands life and to avoid getting too heavy, he gets funny.

[johnlewisbrooks]

Murray was absolute GOLD in this movie!

[CougarLand]

0:06 "Our forefathers were kicked out of every decent country in the world"...one of the simplest yet greatest explanations of Americans.

[Ghostt]

Bill delivers one of his great motivational speechs

[KneelBBacon]

0:55 lol@ John Candy when he finally gives in.

[nicetomoleyou]

"We're all very different people. We're not Watusi. We're not Spartans. We're Americans, with a capital 'A', huh? You know what that means? Do ya? That means that our forefathers were kicked out of every decent country in the world. We are the wretched refuse. We're the underdog. We're mutts! Here's proof: his nose is cold! But there's no animal that's more faithful, that's more loyal, more loveable than the mutt. Who saw "Old Yeller?" Who cried when Old Yeller got shot at the end? Nobody cried when Old Yeller got shot? I'm sure. I cried my eyes out. So we're all dogfaces, we're all very, very different, but there is one thing that we all have in common: we were all stupid enough to enlist in the Army. We're mutants. There's something wrong with us, something very, very wrong with us. Something seriously wrong with us - we're soldiers. But we're American soldiers! We've been kicking ass for 200 years! We're ten and one! Now we don't have to worry about whether or not we practiced. We don't have to worry about whether Captain Stillman wants to have us hung. All we have to do is to be the great American fighting soldier that is inside each one of us. Now do what I do, and say what I say. And make me proud."

[perfesser]

It may be comedy, but every American who prizes themself as such should take these words to heart.

[allysanchez]

0:32 he always looked so carefree, smiling wide like that
God, I miss ramis
