About Full Metal Jacket 4K:
Director Stanley Kubrick rips the skin from the face of war to expose the dehumanizing effect of the military on the people fed to its emotional meat grinder in Full Metal Jacket. Through the eyes of an 18-year-old recruit--from his first days in the seeming hell of Marine Corps boot camp as his superiors try to strip of him his individuality and re-create him as a Marine, to the hell of the 1968 Tet offensive, Kubrick reveals the damage done to the collective human soul by the inhumanity of war. Based on the novel The Short-Timers by Gustav Hasford.

The fact that R. Lee Ermey was not scripted to play the role, and literally stole it and made it his own, should have earned him an Oscar... Semper Fi
How about the fact that he's pulled that stunt more than once?
sure was he was brilliant
Aye sir
It earned him a Golden Globe! Just fyi
Your rifle is your woman. Love her.
How this film or Lee Ermey didn't win an Oscar is beyond belief
I havent seen one single performance of the nominees in 1988
Don't be silly. The character is too one-sided and stereotypical so as to be its own parody.
Despite of his goat performance, in this film he just being himself, not acting.
Technically he wasn’t acting. He just being his self from when he was a drill Sargent, but yeah he should won an Oscar
I haven't even seen the film and I'm intimidated 😅
I'm 74, but I remember when I was 19 and enlisted, I met fellows just like this. They changed my life.........FOREVER!
Are you were in Vietnam?
Just another lucky man. !!
And how you lose in NAM... You remember that...
this is nothing. the drill sergeant was very very kind to those soldiers. they have no idea how bad it gets when the enemy gets them.
Me too
Met him once, R. Lee Ermery. Great guy. Stood about 6'3". Came into our “chow hall" in Okinawa with his opening from FMJ. Everyone stood up and cheered.
6'3"??? So gomer Pyle and private joker stood at 6'5" Or more?
@@zarakdurrani7584 I didn't think he was that tall.
@@tennisbum3686 6' according to Imdb.
Isnt he 5'11
He seemed only a bit taller than Cowboy whos 5’9
I met gunny about 4 years ago at a gunshop in Georgia where he was there on a promotional for Glock. Got to speak with him for several minutes and took a picture with him that I still have to this day. He gave me an autographed photo and a coin. Not even a year later he was gone. I'm very thankful for that time to meet R. Lee Ermey, what an honor. Rest in peace Gunny.
I went to his brewery in Lancaster CA. Didnt meet him though
Cool 😎
@@abefroman8821 Ahhh. Beeeerrr 👍
His acting was spot on. He was incredible
Did he insult you too?
His insults are golden one of the most quotable films in movie history.
Don’t forget JJ in spider man :)
You're a REAL comedian
Well they call me the JOKER
He was one of the very few that Kubrick allowed to ad lib. Since he was a DI before acting, he spun pure gold by just doing his former job. He should have been nominated for Best Actor.
I heard most of it was improv. Awesome actor
@@Mattius08 You are correct. He was one of the very few people Kubrick allowed to ad-lib/improvise.
Little known fact: Before doing the part of Hartman, R. Lee Ermey read the script and told Stanley Kubrick that this is not how a Marine drill instructor would talk or train . Basically the whole boot camp scene was rewritten with Ermey supervising.
Got to give Stanley credit for heeding his advice.
Always makes me think of my infantry Marine son, who made his superior’s laugh a time or two. Purple Heart recipient and a total badass w/a heart of gold, Afghanistan-Operation Enduring Freedom. Two of my young grandchildren are named after Marines KIA. Was a very proud mom attending his graduation ceremony at Camp Pendleton in CA and somehow, I ended up on the videographer’s vhs taping, haha. Semper Fi.
Great movie and performance 🎭 by Lee Emory R.I.P.🕊️🥀.
Major respect to all the veterans! 🇺🇸 ♥️
Semper Fi
Rest in Peace Legendary R. Lee Ermey
Can white people use the “Rest In Power” term because if it’s not racist or whatnot to use that, then someone like him sure fits the sentiment.
@@davidw.2791 OK, then I change the Peace word to Power 😅
Jorge Gruber No no no, “Rest In Peace” is perfect, I just see “Rest In Power” used for departed people too but I saw it from Spider-Man Into The Spiderverse honouring an African American character so I wonder if white people can also use it or if it’s one of those “only for people of colour” things.
@@davidw.2791 Definitely not, if you ask me, Rest in Power is the same as Rest in Peace as is the same for Rest in Paradise, all of these aren't race-exclusive, coming from a mixed man.
Kale Thank you! Then I can say that this guy can rest in (perverted) power. 🤣
How they found 5 minutes of this film without any swearing is amazing
#TruthBomb If you have seen this film you know how accurate that statement is.
Ha!! Didn't even notice that! But you are totally correct.
Edited. Cut the steak sauce out. Made it generic and bland
It was easy. They just took out all the swearing and this was what was left!
There is a couple of bloopers.
A real old school Marine SGT, learnt the his skills the hard way (Vietnam Era) they do not make like they used to, real legend.
He was my Dad's drill instructor in 1965/66, he went to this movie in the mid/late '80's. He came home like he'd seen a ghost and told me he saw someone he hadn't seen in decades. He then told me about having this guy as a leader and he was more ruthless in person! Said he punched him in the gut when he didn't' like his posture. Supposedly R Lee Errmey (spelling?) was hired by Kubrick to teach the actor to play the part and then later fired the actor and had Ermey act it, glad he did. Blew my Dad (and me) away having to reunite with him via the big screen . . . opening seen too, what a start to a movie!
His voice is so unique... I know everybody is in there own way... but his stands out a country mile... RIP buddy.
Well put there, maybe two country miles for this guy
R. Lee Ermey should have won an Oscar for this. Few actors took a role to this level.
It was because he wasn't an actor, but he did it so well they replaced the real actor with him because he was a DI. Just in case you didn't know, either way a great movie.
He would have been nominated for an Oscar had he not ordered the recruits to give their rifle a "Girl's" name.
Nah, he wasn't acting - just doing his thing.
He become a legend - it's even better, than some Oscar.
Yea like the others said, he was brought on as a consultant since he was an actual DS. The guy that fires the machine gun from the helicopter as Joker and his byddy are heading to the lines was the original actor hired. Ermey however being a natural was just showing what it looks like and Kubrick was so fascitnated he changed the actors.
This is , and more likely will always be, one of the most accurate portrayal of boot camp one will ever see.
I can confirm, however this woke generation is now doing gender integrated training so it’s making them softer
Agree
You need to amend your statement.... this USED to be what bootcamp was like. The Corps is not what it used to be.
@@Democratic_Industrialism yea for all 72 different genders.
Not anymore. The military has gone soft unfortunately.
I was a recruit at Parris Island - Jan-Mar 1966. I believe that was the same year depicted in this movie. The portrayal of life during boot camp is the most accurate depiction of what I went through, the only exception being they did not have Gunnery Sergeants as senior DI's. We had a E6 Staff as senior and 2 E5's as juniors. Also, the famous "Jelly Doughnut" scene could not have occurred as they never had jelly doughnuts at any of the Mess Halls. That was referred to a "Pogey Bait"
The weapon shown here is the M14, accurate for the time as the M16 was not yet fully adopted by the Corps. Confidence course was similar and the last 2 day bivouac at Elliot's Beach was pretty close to what took place.
Back then was a big, big push to get recruits trained & graduated as they needed warm bodies in Vietnam. The month I graduated (March), Parris Island set the all time record of graduating 11,000 green machines. The training regimen was cut from 11 to 8 weeks and recruit platoon size was increased. My platoon PLT214, had almost 80 recruits.
All in all it was a really fun time....Not!
Thank you for your insight!
SEMPER FI!
Great complement ever was from my mother. I showed my mother FMJ because she wanted to see a Vietnam War film. Her father ( my grandfather ) was a Marine during WW2 in the Pacific. When she watched the Gunny's performance, she said .....and I quote " that's Dad " . My Grandfather Was a minister of death who stacked the the Japanese like cordwood. Ermey would have saluted him. RIP, Paul A Jussaume, Corporal USMC and R. Lee Ermey Sgt. USMC.
When I let my Mom see this on VCR in 1990 she said if she had known this is what bootcamp was like she would have never signed the papers to let me go.
@@georgethomas6744 yup
Search RUclips . ' They Don't Hate Us For Our Freedom . '
This is a movie I could never show to my Mum. She wouldn't be able to watch this or respect this film.
For those who never had the privilege of attending Marine Corp boot camp, the first half of this movie is as close as you will ever come. Though filmed in England, it looked exactly like my squad bay at Paris Island. And as to R.Lee Ermey, no one could have done it better.
Gotta thank the detail work of Kubrick's preparation. It is also why it took so long for him to shoot a movie because he usually invested several years into the entire pre-production before he actually started shooting. And in some cases that lead to unfinished movies who were already massively prepared for but had to be canceled.
Hoorah its hard but worth it
Know any private pyles?
Well for the sake of your sanity I hope you’re being facetious when you use the word “privilege” in this context.
It’s the same sort of privilege that you get when you go to prison if not worse.
Wouldn't happen now, instructors are only allowed to touch a recruit with the recruit's permission. That was brought in by President Reagan who was appalled when he asked a recruit what happened to his nose, and the recruit casually said his instructor broke it. President Reagan brought in the new rule that day.
He was a model marine, and an even greater Drill Instructor. Join in me in saluting Gunnery Sgt R. Lee Ermey! RIP Gunny. We have the watch
Lee wasn’t an actor.
Him and chesty!
I salute you Gunny
He lived in Lancaster CA right next to me. They even renamed Ave N after him.
It is now R. Lee Ermey blvd.
@@warrenpeace8304 That is a cool name Mr Peace.
This to me is a masterpiece. I remember a couple of my Drill Sergeants quoting lines from this movie.
For some reason I’m fascinated by what goes on in boot camp. My BF was in the Marines and it amazes me to hear him and some of you say this stuff is true. As a woman who grew up without brothers or men in the armed services I had no idea what you guys went through. Thank every one of you for your service.
Search RUclips . ' They Don't Hate Us for Our Freedom . '
It was exactly like FMJ. Best Marine movie of all time.
Whatever goes on in bootcamp is nothing compared to war.
@@Obi-WanKannabis Are you speaking from experience? I'm a Gulf War veteran, but it was a "war" where most people didn't have to fire a shot.
Soy veterano de Guerra .A los 17 años estuve en Indonesia con el ejercicio de Cuba .Felicito a todos los que han Sido soldados y a todos y todas que nos han ayudado
I don' know if an actor ever totally stole the show in a movie as much as R. Lee Ermey! Semper Fi, Gunny!
And to think that he was not an actor at the time. He was the drill instructor that was hired to train the actors in the movie. And he ended up taking the actors job...and wrote most of the great lines that he got to say.
George C. Scott - Patton
R. Lee Ermey should have gotten the Best Actor Oscar for that performance....30+ years later and still getting rave reviews
Jackie Gleason, Smokey and the Bandit possibly.
@@kdfisher547 He certainly deserved the Best Supporting Actor award that year. The fact he wasn't even nominated shows just how out of touch the Academy Awards are. This was one of the great performances in the history of film.
Aside from the amazing portrayal for Ermey, Vincent D'Onofrio was equally amazing in his portrayal of "Private Pyle"
I'm a marine & I agree. I've been to Parris Island
He gained something like 50 pounds for the role. That's dedication.
R Lee Ermey said that Vincent D’Onofrio was the best and most dedicated actor to his role in the film, RIP Gunny
@@Rockhound6165what's even crazier than that is the first time he did the weight gain it was mostly muscle and they told him it didn't fit the role so he had to gain more body fat and lower the muscle mass 😂
Yes, excellent acting all around.
Legend of a movie. RIP R. Lee Ermey. Never to be forgotten.
I've watched this movie so many times, ill never get tired of it
Never gets old. Awesome.
Thank you from everyone on FMJ Stew FMJ Crew.
"Well Joker,...........I've got a joke for you"?,...
I told a Marine that I was 101st ABN in Vietnam. He said "the Screaming Eagles were F-in' crazy". The best compliment I ever received.

R. Lee Ermey: The Man, The Myth, The Legend. Semper Fi Sir.
never saw combat, sir
He should of got an Oscar for that performance .He made the movie credible.He had been an actual “gunny” in the marine core.
Here we go again why u Americans talk like that.Its he should HAVE got an Oscar not he should OF got an Oscar
He was every America's Drill Sergeant. We all miss him from American Legion Post 8. RIP Sarge.
How did R. Lee Ermey not win the oscar for this role? Gun. Sgt. Hartman is one of the most unforgettable characters in film history.
Shame that he didn't even get to win the Golden Globe he was nominated for.
One of the most iconic characters in cinematic history, for sure.
I don't think people got over the pure shock of his performance. It couldn't be acting so he didn't win. Jmo. Incredible performance.
@@billlozier5551 That's how I would characterize it
Because he wasn’t acting?
@@sylvesterstain Exactly
I knew a Vietnam Marine vet who went through in ‘68 in Parris Island. He said this was the closest he’s seen Marine boot be portrayed. He said they were harder on them because of the number they were losing in Vietnam and wanted them to have the best chance of survival.
There's also difference in how one would train conscripted soldiers vs. a volunteer military force.
My late father in law died before my husband and I met. Frank served in the Marines during Vietnam. He went to MCRD in San Diego. I did some research and gunny was a DI there back then. My husband says his dad refused to say anything about Vietnam. When he, my husband and his brother watched this film he confirmed the film was accurate. This is what my husband told me.
I knew a Marine that was at the fall of Saigon. That was messed up
@@fucker1714 Actually, there isn't. The training MUST be the same because the dangers are the same. However, the training for the later stages of the Vietnam war WAS more stringent and physical. I went through Army Boot in '72 and our DI's ran us raggedy for the exact same reason, we were losing too many soldiers in 'Nam and it was because the training wasn't hard enough to prepare recruits for what they would face over there.
@@slactweak I'm talking about how you treat/train someone that WANTS to be there vs. someone that's FORCED to be there. Kind of how you would go about the training and not necessarily the skills themselves.
This movie came out just about 6 or 8 months before I went to boot camp and it was still right fresh in everyone's mind. Every single line in the movie, every Hartman rant, somebody had memorized and we were always reeling them off at each other or the instructors were doing it to us.
Years later when I went back as an instructor myself, I still had all these lines burned into my brain but a lot of the recruits didn't know the movie as well because it was old by then.
I always say "Do you feel dizzy? Do you feel faint?" to my coworkers. 🤣
RIP GUNNEY
What is something is when you realize you have a private Pyle working for you.
lfk k: no jesus h christ included?
@@toddinthemiddle I'll try it tommorow.
😂😂😂😂
I say "goodnight ladies" in my R. Lee Ermy voice when I dismissed my team from practice in the evening.
Regardless of anyone's opinion of this film. It was truly an antiwar presentation. Kubrick's interpretation of the novel say one thing. War is an endless slaughter, it brings the true character of man's fear, bravery, and insanity.
You are so right
You are correct 100%.
He was true drill sergeant badass.
Drill Instructor
@@suaiman4263 He was no different than Any DI's back in that time. But R. Lee Ermey was an Excellent actor!!! (Remember him in Mississippi Burning???)
This is one of Kubricks Best, right up there with 2001 and Clockwork Orange.
What is not stated explicitly is that the reason Gunnery Sgt. Hartman is so tough on them is because he wants them to survive, and he knows that the training will maximize their chances in Vietnam. They all won't survive, but the better they are prepared, the better their chances.
Not just that but it was also because the time he had them in basic training had actually lowered just previous to this time period because the war had ramped up and there was a need for fresh bodies in 'Nam.
Exactly. And in the movie, can anyone imagine private Pyle running through those cities and killing VC? He would likely get other Marines killed because he was sub-standard. That's the hard truth.
Heard an interesting stat on a WW2 history podcast (We have Ways of Making you Talk) where more people died training for D-Day than actually died on the first day. Train hard so the real thing is as easy as it can be.
I saw a documentary of this. Apparently they (Drill Instructors) during the Vietnam War were given 2X the solders (120 vs 60) to train and reduced training time by 1/3rd...and recruits were going to WAR.
I think of it this way, if you cannot deal with your drill instructor you have a much harder time dealing with the guys actually trying to put a bullet in your head. Those people may not want to put a bullet in your head normally, but for defending their territory they cannot hold back.
The best part of this movie, is that R Lee Ermey was only there as an advisor initially.
This movie is the closest portrayal to actual boot camp that I've ever seen. SEMPER FI!
Gunny appeared in quite a few movies after FMJ. He was every bit an actor as he was an actual DI. He was very funny in his portrayal of televangelist Jimmy Lee Farnsworth alongside Chevy Chase in "Fletch Lives". But DI Hartmann was always his defining role. RIP, Gunny!
I was a drill instructor and mr ermey was an inspiration for me
I miss Lee he was my lunch partner then on FMJ Stew FMJ Crew.
Vincent D'Onofrio is the hero of the first 30 min. Freaking chilling.
Ermey and D'Onofrio carried the first half of the movie and made it absolutely iconic. Such a shame they both died right before the second half. The second part isn't as bad as some people portray it, but it surely doesn't even compare to the first half.
@@LucasTheUltimate uh SPOILER!
Anybody remember “Mail Call”?? Gunny R Lee Ermy was seriously the greatest..
The Marine Corps lives forever... and that means YOU live forever. Goodnight sir!
R.I.P!
Vincent D’Onofrio was incredible in this movie. Ermey was, too. Best war movie ever.

Words just ain't enough.You ain't dead, you have been relieved from the watch rotation.
First scotch is on me, Gunny. BWAB!
Simply one of the greatest movies ever made.
R. Lee Ermey is on a whole other level with this performance. Love Stanly kubrick films
This movie never got the respect it deserved when it was first released. As with many of Kubrick's films over time it will be regarded as a cinematic masterpiece.
This was put together epically!!!! Going straight to my favorites.
Notice the edits to remove certain words? Ridiculous!
R.I.P 😢 🥀
*R. Lee Ermey*
RIP Lemmy too ;)
I had the opportunity today meet him years ago. He spent thirty minutes with my daughter. I was honored. I asked to take a picture while he choked me like in the movie. Be careful what you ask for. Made a great picture I will always treasure. Rest In Peace Gunny, see you soon!
They should totally release this back out into the theaters!
Every Marine I have met who served in the Vietnam era says the first half of FMJ is more accurate than any movie depicting basic training they know of.
True I was at PI Feb1966 to Apr 1966. Very accurate depiction of boot camp. I was punched for grinning during a punishment drill and kicked from behind for being too slow in chow line. Hated standing at attention outside the mess hall while the sand fleas were crawling all over my face. and not allowed to move.
The only difference was, we had four R Lee Emorys
One of the best films ever.
Undoubtedly the best example of type casting ever on film. And Gunny's warface while he's sleeping is scarier than anything I can come up with. One of the greats.
Lee Ermey was the ideal choice for this movie. I think he also played a drill instructor in Boys In Company C. I read somewhere where he was an actual Drill Instructor in the Marines in real life. I enjoyed his show Mail Call. Great man, he’s sorely missed.
Saw this movie only one time, no need to ever watch it again...it is truly a masterpiece...
I don’t understand this. If it’s a masterpiece would you not want to watch it again? Like a great piece of art? I agree the movie is a masterpiece, which is why I’ve seen it multiple times. Always something I didn’t notice.
@@blackened872 would you ask Renoir, Monet , Da Vinci , Vincent Van Gogh to keep painting one of their great works over because you'd like to enjoy or remember the process...I've read articles about the film from the actors who've worked with Kubrick and other directors talk about the film, truly fascinating man....
@@lizjo7213 no that’s not the same thing. It’s not like I don’t watch other movies. I’m not saying you’re wrong either. I just don’t understand it. I don’t watch a movie or look at a painting to see any sort of process. I watch/look at it because it’s amazing in some way to me. When something is a masterpiece I would generally like to enjoy it more than once. If you watch a movie once and that’s enough for you that’s cool, I just don’t understand that.
that's precisely why Ive seen it many times. watch it again, you will appreciate it more I promise
@@blackened872 You dont understand it because Liz Jo has an idiotic point and their analogy is horrible. Rewatching FMJ isnt the artist repainting its simply going to see the Mona Lisa more than once. Each time you discover something new you may have missed upon first viewing or even being at a different place in life you may get something different. FMJ is a masterpiece and viewing only once youre doing yourself a disservice. In fact its been a couple years since ive seen it and i will be watching it this weekend.
I first saw this movie on a Sunday afternoon in August, before colleges had started classes but the football players were practicing. The whole team from St. Cloud State University came into the theater and you can imagine the laughing, joking, etc that was going on between the nearly 100 college football players. Half way thru the movie you could hear a pin drop.
This movie is a work of art. I guess you guys were not ready for that.
My Absolute, Favorite Movie of All Time.
I am an Army vet, not Marines. Never the less, this movie gives an excellent view into Boot Camp. During our boot camp at Dix, there was this one DI I felt like killing because he was so tough on me. Having later deployed to Saudi Arabia during Desert Shield/Desert Storm, I smile when I remember those days, and wish I could have a beer with him, because after a time, you realize it was all necessary.
Gunny was just like my senior drill instructor, Gunnery Sergeant Otto Williamson Platoon 149 MCRD San Diego March 1967. What a drill instructor he was. We went through boot camp trained by the best. Gunny Williamson, I don't know if you are still with us but thanks for the training.
The addition of that rusty, creaky metal sound in the music.... ingenious touch. It sounds a bit like an asylum-kind of madness; or a junked merry-go-round. Monotonous, alien, and nihilistic. ☠️
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) also had these creepy sound effects in their music that really makes you feel uneasy, the instruments they used were a tuning fork on piano strings to make it sound like whether it would be: an old flash of a camera, a door creek, screeching on a chalkboard, a metal fork rusting on a metal plate or glass.
It's so foreboding &.ominous ..depressing but it works. Rust & metal& death
@@michaelvasques4695 Full METAL Jacket indeed
Vert similar to Chernobyl mini series

Who better to play a drill sergeant in a movie than an actual drill sergeant. Always and forever Gunny. May you train the angels in heaven well.
Not a drill sergeant in the marines, drill instructor.

Even if this video is not about Vincent d'onfrio, just wanted to say he is so underrated, absolutely brilliant in every character he plays.
A marine, a detective and even criminal mastermind, Kingpin. Brilliant, brilliant actor.
This movie also kickstarted his acting career btw.
My old high school history teacher is retired Marine Lieutenant. I remember when I was a junior in high school back in 1990, he said he had a raw deal after returning from Nam. He was treated badly and got his uniform spat on for serving his country and following orders without any politic in his mind. Then the Persian Gulf War started and he was hoping the troops weren’t treated badly at home like his generation.
Times change, lessons learned, It didn't hurt that the average age of a soldier in Vietnam was 18-26 and in the 1st Gulf war was 33yrs old. Drafted army vs a professional, volunteer army.
A motivated soldier is almost always more effective than one that is not.
There was also 'First Blood' and 'Platoon' to bring the reality of the effects of Vietnam home to those who didn't know. The late 70's was a dark time for the USA in regards to our soldiers. Lesson learned: Don't let politics get in the way of the war.
I chose his monologue to recite in a General Studies freshman acting class in college. It brought the house down. RIP Gunny.
They Shouldn't Have Left Out The Scene Where He Told Them To Pray. He Was The Real Deal & Even Though He Was Not An Actor, He Was Perfectly Cast For That Part.
29JUL2021 - He was certainly the real deal. And every DI will tell you they all deserve an Oscar.
Ermey was an actor and a drill instructor long before he played Gy.Sgt Hartman. He was perfectly cast, nonetheless.
He is an actor. Texas Chainsaw massacre, Fletch..... Etc.. many movies.
めちゃくちゃ懐かしい!!
確か深夜に一回TV放映見て、あまりのインパクトにDVD買った記憶がある
4Kで再販するとか凄いな!!
めっちゃ綺麗!!
I went to military school in '69 and '70 during the height of the Vietnam war. We had a Drill Sargent ROTC instructor that had just returned from 'nam and was everything R. Lee Ermey portrayed. I was 15 yo and still remember Sgt Wheeler telling us how we'd learn to take apart our rifles blind folded by the time we were finished and to never let our weapon out of our hands. He emphasized how, when you see Charlie coming you'd better be ready to use your weapon because it's gonna be either you or Charlie that lives. I was so confused at that age because of all the peace movements going on at the time that I was totally unaware of while at school. West Point was only 15 minutes away from NYMA and, with my ROTC, I would have started out an officer at only 18 yo. I didn't go that direction and often wonder about the path not taken.
This is how the real bootcamp was in san diego , RIP Gunny !
I had a supervisor that was in the Marine Corp during the Vietnam War and he told me this scene was the closest portrayal of what a new recruit goes thru in the Marine Corp boot camp, at least back then.
The reason why R. Lee Ermey played so well the part of a U.S. Marine Corp drill instructor, it's because he was a Marine drill structure himself in real life's. Awesome movie, and amazing actors cast.
Such an amazing movie. One of my favorites to this day. Pretty sure i got most of the lines memorized for how many times i have seen it. R.I.P. R. Lee Ermy.
A family member went into The Marines a year after this movie was released. Fast foward 30 years to you tube where actual footage of Marine Corps boot camp is posted. The movie was excellent and I always used that movie as a reference to what The Marines are about. After seeing the real life video of boot camp though, a civilian can truly see what difficulty really means. That title of Marine is earned.
Remember that the official videos of boot camp are heavily sanitized for the public, the way that this mash-up was heavily sanitized for general audiences.
I was discharged from the USMC in March of 1987, I saw FMJ months later and told my friends that were viewing with me that it was a very accurate description of PI which I went through 4 years prior.
Man I wish I could move that fast now when told to, no way I could do that now, oh well!
OOHRAH!!!!!!!
One of the top 5 accomplishments of my life. usmc 1975 - 1979.

R. Lee Emery was an actual drill Sargent, and was initially only brought in as a consultant. When they realized that he could play the role better than any actor, they pretty much told him who to pick on and where to be on camera and he did the rest. He had no real script, just a basic guideline of what they needed him to do.
Drill instructor
Marines are NOT drill sgts( thats army, ) Marines are Drill Instructors , went thru the island in jan 65, 2nd batt
I love his line from Saving Silverman: "You gotta get in there and off that cooze."
Fact: The gunny wasn’t acting here.
True. And most of his performance was improvised.
He gave an interview about his time as D.I. during the Vietnam war. They had little time to train them so they were as tough as regulations allowed and sometimes tougher. They wanted the kids to come back, tough love.
Every Marine knows those barracks and bunks footlockers … I could go on. Legendary film.
Gotta have my son's watch this one. We were just talking about this the other night. Ermey rocked the role! Was so happy to see him get Mail Call later on!
1:39 Ms Vivian Kubrick on the left side.
Why did he not get an Oscar for this?? Real experience shone through over playing a character.
This is such a great movie
I loved it
It's brutal
Some parts are tough to watch
It's also funny
That drill sergeant is terrific
All of the actors are terrific
Great movie🥰
R Lee Emery is the most badass man alive and he is a great drill instructor and he is a absolute badass
Sound off like you've got a pair!!
SIR YES SIR!!!!
I stepped off of the Army bus & onto those yellow footprints..on my 18th b-day.
HOOAA!!
R. Lee raised my parents it seems. Made me the respectful hard-working man I am today. I thank them everyday for it. (30 yr old as of now.)
Simply the best casting of a gunnery sergeant.
I used to work as a Contractor for the Military. So I became friends with many Active Duty Guys and Ladies! They all had some really funny Recruit Training/Boot Camp stories! There was even a web page with boot camp stories and Drill Instructor quotes! Though I never served, working as an on-site Contractor was the next best thing! Thank You United States Military for contracting work and providing me with a career and a comfy retirement!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Best war movie at the time if not of all time. I was Fresh out of Bootcamp, Summer ‘87 (Plt.2060, 2nd Bn, D Co. -brothers for life!)
it was crazy to see on the screen.
A lot of Hollywood input but the Boot Camp experience, the Squad Bay, DI’s cadence,etc made this a classic for all time. R. Lee Ermey - the man, the myth!💪 OOHRAH🇺🇸
Graduated Oct. 8th 1987 (Plt. 2078, 2nd Bn, D Co.) Must have just missed you. Semper Fidelis
“Hit it sweetheart” 😂😂😂😂
I've watched the first half dozens of times but only saw all of it once.
Hunted when young with a guy that was drafted for Vietnam, During boot camp he clashed with his DI who did the famous removal of his cap and told Bill “Go ahead, hit me!” Being a tough kid who grew up on the farm Bill hit him so hard it knocked him out cold and stiff on the training ground... Instant dishcharge.
lol
I've heard that if that happened in the French Foreign Legion their attitude is more, bro should have blocked.
So if you want to get out, just knock out the DI. Lot of tough trained MMA guys could do that.
@@robo9439 When I was in Army boot '86, I was told the other way to get discharged was to kiss your DI.
Nobody ever tried that one, but it would have been worth the price of admission.
Yeah but that discharge might well have been dishonorable or at the very least bad conduct discharge!
Wow that movie was intense growing up.
I’m an Army combat veteran, and this feels like home to me. They got in. They got into my head, and I hate to admit and accept this fact.
@Justan Olfrend Hey thanks, man. I appreciate that.
iconic acting performance from lee ermy and one of the best scenes in cinema history
