“No ****** Navy’s going to give some poor ****** kid eight years in the **** brig without me taking him out for the time of his ****** life.”
— The Last Detail (1973, dir. Hal Ashby)

Finally watched this film, and I enjoyed it immensely. It reminded me of Wes Anderson’s Bottle Rocket in some ways, like its comedic and poignant bleakness. You can definitely see the influence Hal Ashby had on Wes.
This is one of those films where a really simple story is turned into an immensily interesting and entertaining film, thanks to a great screenwriter (Robert Towne), a great director, and a couple of great actors.
Jack Nicholson’s manly performance as Billy “Badass” is very underrated (due to Chinatown and Cuckoo’s Nest in the following two years overshadowing it), and the young Randy Quaid (whose looks remind me extraordinarily of Tarantino’s) is very compelling.

And that scene also begins with dialogue that seems like fun, while it’s also laying more groundwork. We meet Lance’s girlfriend Jody, who is pierced in every possible place and talks about her piercing fetish. Tarantino is setting up his payoff. When the needle goes into the heart, you’d expect that to be one of the most gruesome moments in the movie, but audiences, curiously, always laugh. In a shot-by-shot analysis at the University of Virginia, we found out why. QT never actually shows the needle entering the chest. He cuts away to a reaction shot in which everyone hovering over the victim springs back simultaneously as Mia leaps back to life. And then Jody says it was “trippy” and we understand that, as a piercer, she has seen the ultimate piercing. The body language and the punchline take a grotesque scene and turn it into dark but genuine comedy. It’s all in the dialogue and the editing.
