The Bounty (2/11) Movie CLIP - Second in Command (1984) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Bligh (Anthony Hopkins) rallies the crew together and promotes Christian (Mel Gibson) in reprimand of Fryer (Daniel Day-Lewis).

FILM DESCRIPTION:
This fourth film dramatization of the 1789 mutiny aboard the H.M.S. Bounty is based not on the familiar Nordhoff and Hall book, but on Richard Hough's novel Captain Bligh and Mr. Christian. This time, the infamous Captain Bligh (Anthony Hopkins) is as strict a disciplinarian as ever. He is, however, no monster; faced with his crew's increasing laxity after an idyllic visit to Tahiti (the search for breadfruit takes second place to limitless sex with the island girls), Bligh is forced to resort to flogging and other such means to keep his men in line. Mr. Christian (Mel Gibson), formerly Bligh's friend, is of little use to the captain, having fallen in love with a native girl himself. Christian becomes the leader of the mutiny virtually in spite of himself; and when the mutineers try to seek refuge on Tahiti, they find that the local chief wants no part of them, which is why they settle for the nearly uninhabitable Pitcairn.

Never seen Sir Tony so PISSED.

"I am the commander! BY LAAAWWWW!"

His face goes red with rage, I LOVE IT. 😊

[Robever]

One of the most underrated movies of the 80's. Just look at the sheer talent in this movie. It's a virtual who's who of great actors. And the soundtrack by Vangelis is utterly amazing in building tension throughout the film. This is amongst my all time favorite films.

[billyshears]

The best ever portrayal of Bligh - fantastic acting by Hopkins.

[JMUDoc]

"Mistur FRYER, surr, COMEBACKHERE!"
God damn, this is a masterpiece, and hugely under-rated.

[milanSK]

Anthony Hopkins even changes his face colour in this scene. Superb!

[kp]

Only Daniel Day Lewis could continue to act while wearing that hat.

[justinbritt]

Anthony Hopkins knocks any role out of the park. His acting credentials are just impeccable

[seewaage]

Anthony Hopkins is such an amazing actor. He actually has the red face and everything just like a man would get in that situation.

[Longi]

This is one of my favourite scenes in The Bounty. Anthony Hopkins was awesome here. I love Bligh's line "Your years at sea? Good Lord man, if I'd known your nature I would not have accepted you as boatswain of a river barge!" 😆

[JacobScott]

the trip brought me here. now i love this film.

[GordonCaledonia]

Maybe the best "shouting scenes" ever, the way Hopkins goes from calm to stern to apeshit is amazing. Liam Neeson must have been going, "DAAAAMN! THIS is acting!".

[ThomasLWoolsey]

“I do a very good Anthony Hopkins!”
“Well I think I do an even better Anthony Hopkins”

[hzzxmzda]

"Mr. Friar sir, come back here." Dumbledore said calmly.

[jplinklimocom]

The casting alone is worth the price of admission. Mel Gibson... Anthony Hopkins... Edward Fox... Daniel Day-Lewis... Liam Neeson... and
Sir Laurence Olivier!! Bravo!!

[cmor]

Man, that is flawless by Hopkins. His sense of authority and steadfast control… Hopkins is majestic.
I could watch this scene for hours ❤️

[stevebritgimp]

He actually changes colour. That's 2, 000 years of stored up Welsh/Cornish anger.

[justinneill]

A thespian genius at work. After raging like a demon at Friar, he turns to the rest of the ship's company and fixes them with that icy stare to assert his complete authority. The next time he speaks, it is chillingly calm and composed, leaving them all on very thin ice.

[jameswoowaa]

Now THAT is acting! It makes you want to avert your eyes like the crew when he looks around. Sublime skills and one of the best scenes ever.

[dagger]

Anthony Hopkins Daniel day Lewis and Laurence Olivier are all in this the fact this movie literally has 3 generations of the greatest British film actors that’s ever graced the screen is absolutely mind blowing!

[mountainstreamer]

This scene should be shown in every acting class on the planet.
