Sergeant Hulka: When I tell you move, you'll move fast. When I tell you to jump, you're gonna say, "How high?" And make no mistake. I don't care where you come from, I don't care what color you are, I don't care how smart you are, I don't care how dumb you are, 'cause I'm gonna teach every last one of you how to eat, sleep, walk, talk, shoot, shit like a United States soldier.

Only Warren Oates could consistently deliver simple lines like "we ate the food she prepared with her hands" (f/ Alfredo Garcia) and give them so much heft. Everything that came out of his mouth was gold.

Just got done with Dillinger--how great is the phone scene between W.O. & Ben Johnson's Melvin Purvis? (Of course you could ask the same about numerous others scenes in the flick as well.)
I've got a P.D. disc of Cockfighter to watch later, so it appears my holiday will be dominated by Oates & Harry Dean Stanton.

sam neill 'random roles' recollection on the AV Club:
Sleeping Dogs (1977)—“Smith”
SN: Wow. You see, that was my first feature film of all, with my friend Roger Donaldson, and there I really had no idea what I was doing. [Laughs.] In fact, none of us did. Apart from Michael Seresin, who shot it, no one on that production had ever made a feature film before. In fact, there hadn’t been a feature film made in New Zealand for something like 17 years. So we were really… We lit a little candle, which didn’t illuminate much of the darkness in front of us, but we got through it. It’s a very uneven film, and I’m pretty uneven in it. [Laughs.]
Oh, actually, the other person on the film who had any experience was, of course, the wonderful Warren Oates. He came in for about two weeks, I think, and… [Laughs.] He discovered on day one, I think, that in the area of New Zealand where we were working, they grow the best marijuana, and so he was basically smoking joints all day. In some of the scenes where he’s playing Col. Willoughby, a U.S. army advisor in New Zealand, he’s addressing his men with his hands behind his back, and you might even possibly detect the little curving smoke behind his right shoulder, because he wouldn’t even put the joint aside when the camera was rolling. He just put it behind his back!
But Warren was a lovely guy, and when he left—I’ll never forget this, actually: He shook my hand, and he said, “Goodbye, Sam! I’ll see you in the movies!” It was such a surprising thing for him to say, but I was very touched by it. I never saw him again, because he died rather young not very long after that. But he lived hard, you know. And he had some great stories of the madness of working with Sam Peckinpah.

warren oates was a poet. no, really, he wrote poetry but was too shy to try to publish it apparently.

Rescreened Dillinger last week--Much Oates ownage there.
― Love, Wilco (C. Grisso/McCain), Wednesday, 22 April 2015 19:46 (eight years ago) link
finally saw Dillinger, nice 35mm print; too bad Milius wrote it, especially, as well as directed. He seems to lose interest in Oates in the third act, preferring to give scenes to Harry Dean Stanton, Richard Dreyfuss, Cloris Leachman (and to Ben Johnson's Purvis throughout). I wonder if maybe they didn't get along.

it's one of oates's dim-witted cretin parts. he did a lot of those in the 1960s (TV and film).

I'll probably hold off until a cheaper used copy shows up on the Canadian Amazon. There's this infuriating practice in place where everything on amazon.ca is twice as expensive as the American version (and just as or more expensive if you try to circumvent that by ordering from amazon.com).
