I read the book The Greatest Beer Run Ever about a guy who goes to Vietnam just to bring his buddies on the front line some beers. He said one of the reasons he was able to hitch rides with helicopters and APC crews was because he was dressed in civilian clothes and all the officers assumed he was CIA and didn't question him when he said he needed a ride.

“Terminate with extreme prejudice” is a deep and heavy line/order.

The nervousness in Ford's voice makes this scene.

Shit ... charging a man with murder in this place was like handing out speeding tickets at the Indy 500.

The CIA guy just sits there with the psychopath stare, while the Army officers stumble awkwardly around their rationales, and talk around what they are really trying to say. i love the detail of how he offers a cigarette only AFTER he says in 4 words what the others have been stumbling around trying not to say for 3 minutes.

Sheen was robbed of the Best Actor Award. This movie is just brilliant.

I never realized Ford is playing a Colonel here. He's so young he comes across as a junior officer, like an aide de camp.

“Everyone gets everything he wants. I wanted a mission, and for my sins, they gave me one. Brought it up to me like room service. It was a real choice mission, and when it was over, I never wanted another.” Incredible writing.

I just realized that the general is the same guy that played Senator Geary in Godfather II.

Harrison Ford and Jerry Ziesmer doing an absolute master class on just what you can do with very small parts.

"And very obviously he has gone insane."
We then hear a helicopter, the same sound playing in Willard's room where he was staring idly at the ceiling fan in his room before he had a breakdown.
This script is genius.

I just love the way at 1:35 - the General just turns his head quickly to the Colonel as if to say "now you get on with the unpleasant details". Superb.

Jerry Ziesmer had ONE line -- and it is now a permanent part of movie history and popular culture. I'd say he nailed it! "Terminate ... with extreme prejudice."

@kreemkrackered3755 3 years ago

I love the way he just looks over at Harrison Ford as if to say “Ok lay it on him” - great acting

That line "Terminate with extreme prejudice" gives me chills

Jerry Ziesmer (1939-2021) utters one line in the entire movie, perhaps the most memorable one.

One of the all time classic movies. The more you watch it, the more you appreciate it’s brilliance

@paranormalskeptic3893 3 years ago

One of the greatest films ever made. The fact that Sheen wasn’t nominated for an Academy Award, is completely insane, one of the greatest acting jobs ever. But truly, an iconic movie. Have watched it many times.

Movie was filmed in the Philippines in 1976 and I was a college sophomore at the University of the Philippines. I took a gig as an extra for a week dressed in a GI uniform. Most memorable scene for me was when I was on the stage and the playboy bunnies were dropped off from the chopper to entertain the soldiers. Had to get a crew cut but was worth the pay and the experience. One of my best DVDs.
