In A Few Good Men (1992), Jack Nicholson filmed all his scenes (just three in the movie) in only 10 days but was paid a hefty $5 million, while Tom Cruise earned around $12.5 million. The iconic “You can’t handle the truth!” courtroom tirade was delivered by Nicholson 40-50 times so Rob Reiner could capture multiple reaction shots from the other actors, and Nicholson was reportedly happy to repeat it.
