Overshadowed by his high-profile leads in such '70s landmarks as Five Easy Pieces, Chinatown, and One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, Jack Nicholson's remarkably complex turn in this raucous yet ultimately somber road movie also remains his most underrated. As the snarling, hedonistic, but emotionally lost Navy lifer Billy Budduskey, Nicholson teams with fellow sailor "Mule" (Otis Young) on a seemingly simple duty of escorting a naive thief (Randy Quaid) from the Norfolk naval base to the brig in Massachusetts. Though polar opposites--Mule is hard-nosed Navy, while the first image of Budduskey shows him asleep in a chair, tattered and tattooed, gripping a near-empty bottle of cheap wine--both sailors learn that the 18-year-old will lose eight years of his life for a petty theft, and agree to cram his lost years into one booze-, sex-, and drug-infested (lost) weekend. From bizarre religious ceremonies to drunken nights in New York brothels, the two sailors provide all the sins they can think of, while their charge, Meadows, appears to go along just to please his escorts. The older sailors are definitely having more fun, essentially projecting all of their own lost freedom onto Meadows. The young sailor's ultimate doom mirrors the daily prison lived by both Budduskey and Mule, and director Hal Ashby hangs a decisive air of bleakness and claustrophobia over screenwriter Robert Towne's profane humor. When the question of whether to let the poor teenager escape ultimately arrives for the two sailors, the final decision is relatively pointless: in or out of prison, all three men are trapped by the Establishment and their own lost free will. --Dave McCoy

Directed by Hal Ashby ("Shampoo") and released in 1973, "The Last Detail" is a near perfect little movie-- in spite of a thin plot-- that holds up well thirty-five years later. It is essentially a three person film. Two sailors, Jack Nicholson (Budduskey) and Otis Young (Mule) are assigned the task of escorting Randy Quaid (Meadows) from Norfolk to Massachusetts where he will begin his eight-year-prison term for stealing a mere forty dollars albeit from his commander's favorite charity.

Jack Nicholson has made a lot of good movies, but everything he did between 1970 and 1975 was a classic (besides the forgotten "The Fortune" with Warren Beatty). This is a sad movie, like "One Flew..." but Jack invests such joy, humor & rage into his role that it is oddly inspiring even amidst the downward trajectory Randy Quaid is on.
I've seen this 4 or 5 times over the years and I never fail to laugh and tear up with joy during Jack's drunken soliloquy on the Human Torch (I'm betting ... Read More

If you're a fan of Jack you'll love this earlier film. And Randy Quaid is just awesome......maybe his first big film (?). I buy movies for my son every year for Christmas, try to find those great films from the past and never grow old. This one proved one of the best. He loved it!

The film, which on it's surface is rife with foul language, sex, and all sorts of treachery is actually about being selfless and caring for someone else just a bit more than for yourself. Jack Nicholson and Otis Young are to take Randy Quaid to prison for stealing 40 dollars. Quaid has been sentenced to 8 years for the crime, a disparity that makes the film even more poignant. Along the way the two navy-men, (Nicholson especially) decide to show the naive Quaid a good time. Rather than deliver him ... Read More
