TAGLINES: "*#&@! the Navy!' "What's the LAST DETAIL? 200 beers and a lot of laughs" - Two Navy men are ordered to bring a young offender to prison, but decide to show him one last good time along the way. Two bawdy, tough looking navy lifers - "Bad-Ass" Buddusky, and "Mule" Mulhall - are commissioned to escort a young pilferer named Meadows to the brig in Portsmouth. Meadows is not much of a thief. Indeed, in his late teens, he is not much of a man at all. His great crime was to try to steal forty dollars from the admiral's wife's pet charity. For this, he's been sentenced to eight years behind bars. At first, Buddusky and Mulhall view the journey as a paid vacation, but their holiday spirits are quickly depressed by the prisoner, who looks prepared to break into tears at any moment. And he has the lowest self-image imaginable. Buddusky gets it into his head to give Meadows a good time and teach him a bit about getting on in the world. Lesson one: Don't take every card life deals you. Next, he teaches Meadows to drink, and, as a coup de grace, finds a nice young whore to instruct him in lovemaking. Mule, who worries aloud about his own position with military authority, seems pleased with Meadows's progress. However, when the trio reach Portsmouth, the game comes abruptly to an end as reality sets in. Film debut of NANCY ALLEN and GILDA RADNER. Nancy Allen was originally offered the part of the "Young Whore", but she turned it down because she felt she would be too nervous to speak while being nude on-camera. Nominated for THREE Academy Awards including Best Actor (Jack Nicholson), Best Supporting Actor (Randy Quaid), and Best Adapted Screenplay Writing. CAST includes Jack Nicholson, Otis Young, Randy Quaid, Clifton James, Carol Kane, Michael Moriarty, Luana Anders, Kathleen Miller, Michael Chapman, Nancy Allen, Gilda Radner, Hal Ashby. BEHIND THE SCENES TRIVIA : The script was completed in 1970, but contained too much profanity to be shot as written. Columbia Pictures waited for two years trying to get writer Robert Towne to tone down the language. Instead, by 1972, the standards for foul language relaxed so much that all the profanity was left in. A tamer version with less profanity was filmed at the same time for television showings. Because of the amount of swearing, the entire movie was pretty much shot twice. Screenwriter Robert Towne stated that the main reason the film had so much profanity was his view that "this is how people talk when they're powerless, they bitch", since Buddufsky and Mulvall don't agree with Meadows' jail sentence, but have no legal ways to help him (and aren't going to let him escape and bring wrath upon themselves). Towne also tied the film into the then-ongoing Vietnam War, saying that "everyone hides behind a title in the military, whether you're killing at My Lai, or taking a kid to jail." In 1974, the year the film was released, the Department of Defense permanently closed down the real-life naval prison in Portsmouth, NH. All naval prisoners were subsequently sent to Fort Leavenworth Military Prison in Kansas.
