Don’t think I’ve ever seen a military quite like this lol.
This is going to be a depressing movie ain’t it.

Look for the reference to Bogalusa.
Buddusky: Where you from, Mulhall?
Mulhall: Bogalusa.
Buddusky: Where’s that?
Mulhall: Above New Orleans.
Buddusky: Hot down there, ain’t it?
Mulhall: Yeah.

Good movie. Pretty accurate on when a rate is in holding for next duty station.

One of my all time favorites. Best moment is Randy Quaid signalling the others in semaphore B-R-A-V-O Y-A-N-K-E-E (bye bye) before trying to escape.

That might be the gayest movie poster of all time. I thought it was the movie poster for that Queen biopic.

That’s what the navy is for. Butt stuff on boats.

Immediately after delivering the kid, they go to a bar and Buddusky is killed in a brawl.
One of the most jarring and seemingly out of place endings ever

The book pretty much picks up where the ending of the movie left off and shows what happens after Meadows arrives at the jail. Buddusky and Mule decide to go AWOL because they feel so bad for taking Meadows to prison. They decide to just get drunk and eat all day and never return back to the Navy. Buddusky wins some money in a dart game(which happens in the movie, but that scene is in the middle and Meadows is still with them, in the book it's after Meadows arrives at the prison). He wins some money and (just like in the movie) splits the money with Mule and Meadows(he mails Meadows share to him). Buddusky and Mule try to sell the guns they have but can't, because the pawn shops refuse to purchase government property. So then Buddusky and Mule drop their guns into a mailbox. Once the guns are found and after some time two guys on Shore Patrol have to find them and arrest them. Once they arrest them both, Buddusky and Mule try to beat up the two Shore Patrol guys and make a run for it. Instead what happens is Buddusky gets hit over the head and dies.
the important thing is, he dies

Such a great film. Nicholson passed up the role eventually filled by Robert Redford in The Sting in order to do The Last Detail. Worked out perfect for both.

He made the right choice. The Last Detail is his kind of movie. He also turned down Michael Corleone. He might have been pretty good in that though.

Modest directorial touch by Hal Ashby.
Great 70s texture of east coast street grime, shabby barroom interiors, etc.
Cynical-yet-soulful.
Drink it in, fellas.
They don’t make em like this anymore.
Closest contemporary comp would be some of Alexander Payne’s work.
