Everything Wrong With A Few Good Men in 20 Minutes or Less 

This video was originally uploaded for our amazing SinClub members at patreon.com/cinemasins! Check it out for more exclusives including monthly "Sinmentary"s where we discuss an old Sins video while watching it, and monthly compilations of narrator mistakes and outtakes! Enjoy!

One of those rare movies that if I see it when I am skipping through channels, I stop and watch it almost every time.

Unfortunately, you need to be sinned. Jo had on glasses 3 times. You missed the first homework night at Danny's apartment.

even thirty-two years later, it's still a masterclass in acting

"What happened to saluting an officer when he leaves the room?" You do not salute uncovered and indoors, especially when that officer is not in uniform.

Three back to back sin removals. We just witnessed history today, folks.

I love how Jack Nick did not blink once during the "You can't handle the truth" monologue. Adds so much to the scene but such a tiny detail

I want the Truth/you can't handle the truth is one of the most iconic lines in history, how does it not get 3 sins silently removed?

I actually really love how the movie ends with the whole 'There's an officer on deck' salute, gets me every time.

Stonerchat here: In 1992, possession of fake/imitation/"bunk" weed, carried the same penalty in many states as possession of the real thing. Un-DING.

I watch almost all the EWW’s and sometimes the nitpicking gets old, but an episode that understands how great of a movie they’re watching makes it all worth it.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="809">13:29</a> "This is the first time she's worn eyeglasses this entire movie! I went back and checked!" (Less than two minutes earlier): <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="708">11:48</a> Demi wearing eyeglasses

I recall this movie receiving less than stellar reviews. My roommate and I rented it... and thought, 'This pretty good!' 'You can't handle the truth!' has become iconic.

You didn't sin Demi Moore's trash can (at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="165">2:45</a>) doesn't have a bag in it. All military trash cans at least have a clear bag in them.

Christopher Guest playing it straight is always slightly unnerving. He plays this ice-cold and it works - which is why Reiner cast him. No one can do evil/ sinister better than comedic actors.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="673">11:13</a> *me literally sitting here and drinking a Yoo-Hoo while watching this sins video* 😐

Only one sin off for “You can’t handle the truth”? That great performance from Jack deserved at least five sins removed.

I too always crack up when Jessup yells "you Lt. Weinberg". It just comes out of nowhere.

That last confession wouldn’t end the case but it wouldn’t take much after that. “Hey jury this guy just admitted he has been lying to you about the most important part of this trial, everything else he says is useless. They have no case”

The clever word play of "I know we all love our Demi and we want her to be Moore involved" line was awesome. Also thank you for finally doing one of my favorite movies of all time.

Fun fact: although Aaron Sorkin is credited with creating the famous "walk-and-talk" for The West Wing, Rob Reiner actually created it in THIS film. Since Sorkin wrote the screenplay based on his stage play of the same name, there were a LOT of very long scenes with only dialogue. In order to keep the movie from feeling very static, Reiner decided to have the characters do fast-paced walks down busy hallways as they conversed. It worked brilliantly, and the famous "walk-and-talk" was born.

Wow! I didn't realize Sam was in the car until now and i've seen this movie 852 times! LOL

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="804">13:24</a> Jeremy says Demi has sudden glasses in this scene. Even states he went back through the movie to check. Yet he actually used a clip <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="707">11:47</a> showing her with glasses in this video before this scene! 😂 This error got past everyone involved in making this video... I love it! Lmao

I somehow never put together that Tom Cruise questioning Cuba Gooding Jr in this movie foreshadows Jerry Maguire

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="74">1:14</a> - Actually, no, this is NOT the first time you've removed sins back-to-back (Barbie being a very recent example). It is, however, the first time you've removed sins back-to-back-to-BACK.

That exchange between Jerry McGuire and Rod Tidwell at the end was brilliant 😂

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="261">4:21</a> Jack Handey SNL sketches are some of the best pre recorded SNL segments. Just happy to know someone else knows about them

One of my most beloved movies of all time. Thank you, Sins

THANK YOU for returning to sinning classic movies! This is the content I would give a Code Red for.

I saw the Marines silent drill team in person at Fort Henry in Kingston Ontario Canada. It was very interesting to watch. One guy did miss his que & dropped/didn't catch the rifle when the inspector threw it like 3-5 people down the line him. They froze, the inspector went & picked it up & they did the move again perfectly. I bet the had a long conversation afterwards

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1057">17:37</a> I always took this moment as Jo trying to goad Danny into going all the way with Jessep. You can almost see the slightest hint of a smirk after she says “if you think you can’t get him”

The salute thing always makes me laugh. Marines don't salute indoors (unless on duty) nor if they are not wearing a cover.

I was in the military in 1992. I guarantee if I got caught trying to buy weed, I would have been court martial-ed. Whether it turned out to be weed or not. Intent is a crime.

The honk with engine starting still means “bye”.

Kevin Pollak has said in interviews that Jessep pointing to Sam in the courtroom about being on the wall was a call out to Jessep being antisemitic on top of being an asshole. A subtle call out without beating the audience with it.

For those of us who aren't really supposed to have real milk - especially in the 90's Yoo-Hoo was basically the closest we could get to having chocolate milk without any of the issues we had from drinking regular milk. That and they did a lot of advertising in the 90's and who needs pictures when you have enough Benjamin's to pay a studio. Also - that's kinda Sorkin's writing in a nutshell, when he's on point, it's great, when he's not - yeah it kinda derails what's going on and all. Happens more than a few times in 'The West Wing'.

He uses the NHL because he’s trying to convince them that the time frame isn’t long. Since he doesn’t care about hockey. He’s hoping that his client is thinking “who cares about missing a hockey season.” If you like baseball or basketball, missing an entire season is a big deal! 😂

"You were in the marines?" "Yes. They were looking for a few good men and so was I."

I laughed way too hard at "All Hail Sorkin!"

One of the most laugh out loud sins videos I've watched. Good job.

The entire code red could have been covered up by Kendrick saying to Downey and Dawson, "Don't tell anybody I ordered it because of the code." The two of them seemed so fanatical, that they would take the fall for it if they were told to. But they weren't, so they snitched.

They didn’t want Willie blabbing to a senator about a gun misfire. That’s why they gagged him, a way of saying “keep your mouth shut”.

Well that was the funniest "college girlfriend" jokes you've told i think. Laughed so hard i think i have a six pack now.

Learned recently this play/movie was partially based on a true story. Sorin's sister was the JAG officer assigned to defend Marines on an assault charge for a code red. After the success the Marines that were charged sued for compensation, and strangely one of them ended up executed in a forest.

After listening to so many sincasts, I was expecting to hear the "I'm listening" clip at right about <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1103">18:23</a>.

Thanks to CinemaSins, I am now actively aware (even during a live, first-time viewing) of the purpose of characters eating an apple in movies. And that purpose is indeed HAMMERED home quite successfully in A Few Good Men. Thank you, CinemaSins!

Just love Nicholson going the full Sideshow Bob in the very end .

LOVE the Hamilton outburst ♥️

Code Red is said so much in this video that I am craving Mountain Dew.

I found and watched this movie the first time because I had a thing for Kiefer Sutherland a few years ago and watched most movies he had bigger roles in. Now I like this movie for many reasons, none of which are Kiefer Sutherland.

Pleased too see your doing older movies again.

I love how honest they are when it comes to the really good movies

Two guys rowing in a Sorkin movie... Sudden Winklevi! That joke was almost as clever as the movie is.

Here are all the audio outtake clips at the end: 1 (<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1166">19:26</a>): The Shining (Warner Bros., 1980) 2 (<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1178">19:38</a>): Jerry Maguire (TriStar Pictures, 1996) 3 (<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1187">19:47</a>): The Social Network (Columbia Pictures, 2010) 4 (<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1194">19:54</a>): The Matrix (Warner Bros., 1999) 5 (<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1198">19:58</a>): 24, "Day 8: <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="180">3:00</a> a.m. - <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="240">4:00</a> a.m." (season 8, episode 12; Fox, 15th March 2010) 6 (<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1205">20:05</a>): Kingsman: The Secret Service (20th Century Studios, 2014) 7 (<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1208">20:08</a>): Seinfeld, "The Jimmy" (season 6, episode 19; NBC, 16th March 1995)

We had a family friend who absolutely LOVED Yoo-Hoo.

Enjoying you for years and always love your work. Had some tough moments recently and the yoohoo marketing plan comment is still making it difficult to write this message from laughing. Thanks man and blessings.

Sorry you blew it...the Code Red wasn't to make him run faster...you weren't paying attention....it's because Willie went outside of the chain and wrote a letter ratting out Dawson...he said if he had a problem he should have come to him, then the platoon...that's a sin on you and I am not removing it.

The real sin is that this movie is being featured on cinemasins 😂

“HOW IS THIS LINE STILL CHILL INDUCING AFTER ALL THESE YEARS?!?!” Because it’s delivered by JACK FUCKING NICHOLSON, that’s why! That guy could induce chills in an Eskimo!

Saw this movie on its opening weekend. Seen it no less than 50 more times in the last 30 years. I was today years old when I realized that the Expert Witness was THE Christopher Guest. Thank you, Cinema Sins, thank you.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="257">4:17</a> that’s not racist, that’s sexist

I'm probably on an island here but THIS IS THE BEST TOM CRUISE MOVIE EVER IN MY OPINION. ALSO PLEASE SIN: Collateral The Last Samurai

Holy crap!! I never realized about the first meeting with Jessup being the beginning of the mental chess match. Also, Sam was in the car????

". . what's at steak here." Sometimes I feel I only watch these for the excellent subtitle puns ❤

I don't understand why/how sin 15 is racist....

@CinemaSins, I just love you! Brilliant, as always!

Kevin Bacon's flattop? That's Guile in Street Fighter!

This is by far one of your best reviews. I have been watching EWW/Cinema Sins for quite a few years. Lately, your reviews have not been that good (sinning things that you like, etc.). But you have redeemed yourself with this one. You sinned nonsense, real mistakes, and clichés but also recognized soooo many great things in this movie. Great job!

A few good men really is good enough for 3 sin removals in a row 😂😂❤ it starts off slow but is so worth the watch

You’re not going to have a go at the exchange when Daniel redirects Jack’s questioning of Corporal Barnes to point out not everything is in the manual.

@<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="750">12:30</a> there are sins where you realize, it is textbook sin. There are sins where you realize why you need to have that sin in the first place. Then there are sins that make you long for the days before the sin, before you needed to tell people "that's not okay", because if done this way it could actually be okay - this sin was one of those sins.

I'm glad you posted this! Yes, I always thought it was funny how Demi Moore trashed Tom Cruise's lawyer skills for the first 1/3 of the movie, telling him what a legal weasel he is. Then, when he wants to quit, she thinks he's the best lawyer in the world.

Feels like I went back in time a bit, what with the old school sins video opening.

I have been waiting for y’all to sin this film!!!! It’s one of my all time favorites!!!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="597">9:57</a> made me laugh harder than I expected.

Love this movie. Absolutely iconic

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="300">5:00</a> - That, good sir, is an understatement of epic - like, 10-sins epic - proportions. I love all my Jarhead pals, but......yeah.

Would be great to see you do Small Soldiers 😂

I miss the yellow subtitles. I didn't realize how much I would miss them until they were gone.

Cruise and Nicholson are at the top of their GAME. Banger performances throughout. Please sin Titan A.E. and Eight Legged Freaks

1) I knew the line from Caffe mimicking Jessup was improvised....always loved it!! The funniest 30 seconds of your video was the last 30 seconds....hilarious!!!

I love how this channel allows me to get the gist of famous movies, without having to watch them through myself. Now Star Wars...

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="129">2:09</a> in the military, if you are on time you are late. If you are early, then you are on time.

I have also seen this literally more than 40times. It’s my all time fav movie - as cheesy as it is. I fking love it!

I think it's a testament to your talent that a near perfect movie can rack up 100+ sins. I lol'd all the way through none the less.

When I was in the Army, I did a tour as an instructor at Fort Huachuca. There was a murder in one of the barracks rooms. It was taped off for 18 months.

I actually just so happened to pick up 16 bottles of yoohoo yesterday

Between "you cant handle the truth" to you saying "hows that line is still chill inducing after all this years" I legit got a chill what are you a mind reader ?!

Santiago was given a Code Red because he reported on a member of his unit, not for his lack of Physical Fitness.

This is exactly what I expected and I love it.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1102">18:22</a> should’ve taken off three for this line, but I knew you wouldn’t have the balls. This is a masterpiece in several ways.

I'm stunned this hasn't been done already; I could almost swear it was, but looking forward to watching and also PLEASE DO THE SANDLOT

This is legit one of my top ~5 favorite movies of all time. I don't care what flaws it may have, it deserves a net negative on the sin counter. It is goddamn Shakesperean.

The "Ahh, Sudden Winklevi!" made me laugh 😂

I've been waiting for this one

Damn!! Those were some really good outtro lines at the end👍👍

All those uses of the name Santiago and no Brooklyn Nine Nine outtake? Feels like a missed opportunity

Watching this video just makes me want to go and watch this movie again right now.

Shout out dude for mentioning Clockers. Another underrated Spike Lee joint.

The 24 dialogue at the end of the video killed me 🤣🤣🤣🤣 thanks for the laugh
