Nothing about this is cool. Shelly was being terrorized by Kubrick, you can see it in her face even briefly in this clip
You know he was a firefighter and got through the door too fast.
Poor Shelly
Did Jack ever feel bad about it?
Uhhhh remember Jack….. this is a movie….. do not actually hit anyone with this axe…..
To quote Lawrence Olivier, “Why don’t you just try acting?”
Oh wow this needs to be turned into a meme.
Still the worst acting performance I’ve ever seen (her)
MUST BE TIME TO RENEW MY DRIVER’S LICENSE THIS FUCKING REPOST IS HERE AGAIN.

Even seeing the behind the scene stuff… it’s still freaking terrifying.
Iconic really great stuff
Jack made this movie. One of my all time favorites
Jack was good… but Shelly Duvall sold this entire scene. incredible how he gets more credit
My favorite horror movie of all time!!
Those old doors. Doors aren’t made like that anymore.
You know it’s good acting when you’ve seen this scene a half dozen times and it still gives you the heeby-jeebies.
Shelly Duvall is so divine.
Lil Xan’s dealer chasing him for money.
Shelley’s little “bye”
“not me”

This is cringy to watch. He overacted during the whole movie.
Aw she’s so sweet. With her lil knife.
When Jack grabs that axe and dude flinches
Cocaine’s a hell of a drug…hyuh hyuh hyuh hyuh
Heeeeeeeeres Johnny
Shelley Duvall reactions in this scene were terrifying too
How are you going to stop it short of, “here’s Johnny!” Line c’mon man!
“Axe up, Stanny…..”
The guy with the walkie talkie fliches
I remember reading that Stephen King hated Kubrick’s Shining because the story was, in part, about the hotel slowly driving Jack insane, while Nicholson played Jack as borderline murderous from scene 1.
disappointed… I was waiting for Here’s Johnny part.
r/praisethecameraman for all the axe swinging shots!
You dont even include the famous line???
Just finished the book and it’s so much better.
Could have done so much more with this movie.
Remember when jack nearly beat a sex worker to death and left her with permanent brain damage? I do. He’s not cool. Get this shit out of here
When doors were still built solid.
Little pig little pig…….that man could play any part …..this is one of my favorite Jack Nicholson movies…..
Now I have to go watch this again for the millionth time
He is so damn good. Tbf she is very good at acting scared, too. One of my fav movies.
Shelley duvall was actually scared of her ass during this filming. She was mentally destabilized by the method acting that Jack was using. He was so deep in chatacter he scared her shitless. I read this in an interview with her.
i literally love jack so much but i hate this. i could never be an actor
couldn’t she have tried breaking the window?
Jack Nicholson playing Jack Nicholson.
