Colonel Blake : [to Spearchucker Jones at the football practice] I had another idea.
From the movie MASH - “Spearchucker” Jones (Fred Williamson) joins the MASH unit as a ringer for the football game. The unit's commanding officer, Colonel Henry Blake, doesn't care about this behavior as long as it doesn't affect him, and as long as they do their job and do it well, which they do.
He died on April 4, 2020 in California, USA.
Another [pause] Spearchucker knows something about #88 from pro football camp, so he advises #69 to use the fact that #88 has a sister named Gladys to turn the tables and piss him off instead.
The camp raises money to send Ho-Jon to Maine by raffling a weekend in Tokyo with a nurse, much to the chagrin of Hot Lips and Burns. [to Spearchucker Jones at the football practice]
Everyone excepting Radar, Father Mulchay and Spearchucker comes across as stuck-up morons.
MASH (1970) Fred Williamson as Dr. Oliver 'Spearchucker' Jones.
I too, like another reviewer, had seen this pic only after being accustomed to the TV series. Private investigator Philip Marlowe helps a friend out of a jam, but in doing so gets implicated in his wife's murder.
When a casual gambler befriends a professional one, he begins to mirror his life, sending both deeper into the sleazy gambling world where the stakes keep getting bigger.
The Swamp's Korean houseboy, Ho-Jon, is accepted to attend school at Hawkeye's alma mater. So, before the snap of the ball on the next play, #69 says something, causing #88 to level him. In the movie however, despite Trapper avenging Frank's blaming an intern for a soldiers death and Hawkeye's helping Painless's "problem", I found the movie's characters extremely self-centered, hard-nosed, mean-spirited and hubristic. In the REAL army of that period, their shenanigans would have them in court-martial in less time than you could say "I like Ike."
The personnel at the 4077 MASH unit deal with the horrors of the Korean War and the stresses faced in surgery by whatever means.

[to Duke] Hawkeye and Trapper just walk over anyone and everybody to have their way. Two roommates/physical therapists, one a vain woman and the other a mysterious teenager, share a bizarre relationship.
I guess they feel they are such good surgeons that they don't have to obey any Army regulations. The tone at the MASH is established by recent arrivals, surgeons Captains 'Hawkeye' Pierce, 'Duke' Forrest, and 'Trapper' John McIntyre - the latter who Hawkeye knows he's met somewhere, but Trapper who won't divulge where - whose antics can be best described as non-regulation, and in the negative words of one of their fellow MASH-ers: unmilitary.

Nominally about an outfit of medical personnel stationed at a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital during the Korean War, the film stars Donald Sutherland and Elliott Gould. In all iterations, the Spearchucker character is a superior surgeon who was also a stand-out collegiate athlete. Timothy Brown, Actor: MASH.
Hawkeye, Trapper or BJ might have teased Frank, Hot Lips or Winchester, but always with a twinkle in their eye.
Capt. Was this review helpful to you? #69 jumps up and runs the opposite direction, with #88 in hot pursuit.
