We Follow Orders or People Die - A Few Good Men (6/8) Movie CLIP (1992) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Lt. Kaffee (Tom Cruise) learns a lesson from Col. Jessep (Jack Nicholson).

FILM DESCRIPTION:
In this military courtroom drama based on the play by Aaron Sorkin, Navy lawyer Lt. Daniel Kaffee (Tom Cruise) is assigned to defend two Marines, Pfc. Louden Downey (James Marshall) and Lance Cpl. Harold Dawson (Wolfgang Bodison), who are accused of the murder of fellow leatherneck Pfc. William Santiago (Michael de Lorenzo) at the U.S. Navy base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Kaffee generally plea bargains for his clients rather than bring them to trial, which is probably why he was assigned this potentially embarassing case, but when Lt. Commander JoAnne Galloway (Demi Moore) is assigned to assist Kaffee, she is convinced that there's more to the matter than they've been led to believe and convinces her colleague that the case should go to court. Under questioning, Downey and Dawson reveal that Santiago died in the midst of a hazing ritual known as "Code Red" after he threatened to inform higher authorities that Dawson opened fire on a Cuban watchtower. They also state that the "Code Red" was performed under the orders of Lt. Jonathan Kendrick (Kiefer Sutherland). Kendrick's superior, tough-as-nails Col. Nathan Jessup (Jack Nicholson), denies any knowledge of the order to torture Santiago, but when Lt. Col. Matthew Markinson (J.T. Walsh) confides to Kaffee that Jessup demanded the "Code Red" for violating his order of silence, Kaffee and Galloway have to find a way to prove this in court. A Few Good Men also features Kevin Bacon as prosecuting attorney Capt. Jack Ross and Kevin Pollak as Kaffee and Galloway's research assistant, Lt. Sam Weinberg.

HIT US UP:

[zvonimirtosic]

Kaffee is masterful here; he constantly pushes colonel to speak briefly and then cuts him off, pushes then cuts him off, repeatedly, hurting colonel's pride. All to make his blood boil, lose nerves.

[lieutenantkettch]

"You ever serve in an infantry unit, son?"

"No sir, I was an aviator. Flew Tomcats on the Enterprise."

[timothysullivan]

Despite all his arrogant posturing and bluster, the colonel was perfectly willing to let two enlisted men take the rap for his crime.

[AC-izeh]

I think that smug face at 1:05 when he says "crystal" was the beginning of what caused Nicholson's outburst 😂

[frajoelyouvid]

This has to be Tom's greatest performance and best looking year not to mention. Demi Mooee was also simply gorgeous in this movie.

[srinivasanramamoorthy]

One of the most powerful and best ever performance by any actor...Jack Nicholson is a legend.

[clarkb]

I love the dig that cruise does with the "I can have the court recorder read it back to you"

[amybarn]

I just love the build up. All the way up to 'I could have the court reporter read back to you'....

[jacobmaverickbueller.]

1:50-1:53 I know what I said! I don't have it read back to me like I'm...
Love that line from Nicholson.

[rolyatknarfable]

Clint Eastwood scares me. Jack Nicholson scares me more. He's awesome. 

[JeffreyGillespie]

As a former actor I can't believe how good Nicholson is here. I don't know how he does it...I don't know whether to cry or tear my hair out. He's a goddamn genius.

[chaoticnipple]

When you think about it, he's exactly right: He disobeyed his own orders, and a Marine died because of it.

[tthomaselli]

"We follow orders, or, people die: It's that simple...".

That comment, right there helped sink Jack Nicholson's testimony & played a key part of Tom Cruise's examination, in my opinion.

[Aivottaja]

"Santiago was a substandard Marine"

This line alone proves Jessup was a lousy Colonel. Nobody gets natural born soldiers to be commanded. Your job is to train them into ones!

[xcm]

Col. Jessup! Did you order the code red?!

YOU"RE GODDAM RIGHT I DID!

[Ironheart]

Absolutely brilliant. This is a demonstration of hubris. Jessup's own excessive and mislead sense of pride to his code as a marine became his undoing.

[sugaraddict]

Favorite movie! Fantastic!
If this movie is ever redone, the actors HAVE to be as excellent as these two!

[JohnRichards]

I like the strategy here. He's not even saying that the idea that Santiago was being transferred was a lie, he's just poking holes in the whole cover up story. Then Nicholson's character just remains practically speechless when he finally realizes his mistake

[Savior]

1:31 It is at this moment that Jessup knew...he ****ed up. =)

[christopher]

“”We follow orders or people die”. Apparently, he really meant: “We follow orders AND people die”. ;)
