You got a grudge against another man, you fight him Saturday afternoon. There's no playing grab-ass or fighting in the building. Any man loses his spoon spends a night in the box. Any man forgets his number spends a night in the box. You remember your number and always wear the ones that has your number. Them clothes got laundry numbers on them. The digital video disc is in anamorphic widescreen and digital stereo. Certain moments have become classics-particularly the hardboiled egg-eating contest, and the immortal line (drooled by Strother Martin, as a sadistic redneck prison officer), "What we have here is a failure to communicate." And don't forget, Luke is also the source of the oft-quoted driving ditty, "I don't care if it rains or freezes, long as I have my plastic Jesus, right here on the dashboard of my car." He is cool, all right. It's a classic rebel-against-the-repressive-institution story in the line of One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest or The Shawshank Redemption.
And before he became familiar as a sidekick in 1970s disaster movies (Earthquake and the Airport movies), George Kennedy won an Oscar for playing Dragline, the brutal chain-gang boss who tries to beat loner Luke's cool out of him. Paul Newman gives one of the defining performances of his career, and cemented his place as a beautiful-rebel screen icon playing the stubbornly tough and independent title character in Cool Hand Luke.
