“Nicholson’s cigar-chomping, profanity-spouting grunt is one of the greatest incarnations of stunted machismo onscreen...brilliantly complemented by Quaid’s picture-perfect awkwardness and Young’s bracing cynicism.”
In belated celebration of Jack Nicholson's 80th Birthday we're screening one of his earliest - and most entertaining - screen roles. Jack stars as "Bad Ass" Buddusky, a Navy man, who along with colleague Otis Young, is ordered to bring a young offender (Randy Quaid) to prison but decide to show him one last good time along the way. Hal Ashby directs from Robert Townes' foul-mouthed screenplay.
