@@jonathanbirch2022 Ouch.
All greats!
also Bill Paxton was a bit role/extra in this movie. RIP.
Oates was gone less than a year after Stripes was released.
This movie never gets old. It's a classic.

Army brat here my father was a drill Sargent. We were raised as recuits. I remember my mother told him once these are your children not your recruits. I miss him everday.
Bless him for serving our nation -- and your family for serving along with him. My son is about to enlist. GO Army.
“Hey, we’re walkin’” 😂
A brilliant line that... 🤣🤣🤣
To all of you comparing the movie to your days in the military… Thank You for your service. You have my admiration.
Thank You ...i was inducted at Fort Knox and met the man that ask Bill what kind of under wear he wanted lol
@@kennyfreeman8470 No soldier would type "lol".
Thank you for your support!
Thanks for that! But you can really thank my draft board--lottery #66.
You are welcome. Enjoy your freedom!
I miss the 80's! Some great years!
The older i get the more i realize how unique Bill Murray was/is. The ultimate relatable und likable guy from next door, could be your older brother or beloved fun uncle but in this cases with enormous screen presence and star power. You just want to watch him doing no matter what and wait for that famous smirk.
"Are either of you two homosexuals?"
"No, but we are willing to learn"
😂😂😂
Priceless comedy. "Is there a special school you send us to?"
John Candy. As in every movie. Was priceless
This was filmed at Ft. Knox in 81. I went through Ft. Knox and watched this movie in 82.
"Soldier, I've noticed you're always last." "I'm pacing myself, SGT"
Describes my time in the military perfectly!
Actually, I have doubts that you would get away with talking so ironically (or whatever it's called) in real army life.
There's a lot of artistic licence being taken here, which is understandable
@@johnnydev9318 This movie is based on actual events. They just can't say so because the EM-50 project and subsequent raid on Czechoslovakia was top secret during the Cold War.
That's cuz it's a movie
Reagan era Army wasn’t so bad. I got out before the never ending wars started…😅
Likewise.😅
I love how all the recruits look 30+ years old
i know time to retire
You'll notice this a lot if you watch older movies. Both the actors/actresses are older and the characters are as well. The themes and stories in general are about adult and middle-aged people, sometimes even the elderly.
Harold Ramis was 37 years old!
The army was desperate for recruits. If you recall this film was made in 1981, the Vietnan War was not that long ago. I read the recruitment standard was lower to get recruits. I am sure it was like the real life. Ironically, the US Army today have issues attracting recruits.
@@bermanmo6237 Vietnam days used the draft dork , why some left to live in Canada the draft forced you to serve just like Russia doing
Warren Oates is a fantastic actor. His piece in Blue Thunder is just brilliant acting.
I really enjoyed his acting as Deputy Sam Wood in the Film "In the heat of the night."
_'was'_
The Brinks Job
And Dillenger
Sad he passed away so early not even a year after Stripes came out. I am sure he had many more great roles yet to come.
RIP John Candy and Harold Ramis
1978 I was in this same room during reception prior to basic osut training for most 19delta at fort knox ky.
I love how everyone gets a complete buzz cut except the two stars of the movie LOL
What about the "don't touch me" guy from Texas.
I think only John Candy got a real boot camp cut. The rest just a short hair cut. I went to Navy boot camp in 2002, everyone got the same shave.
It's all psychological. The haircuts are all suppose to be the same along with the uniform which makes everyone look the same. It strips you of your individual identity.
The first lesson you learn is that everyone is equally worthless. You will learn individuality is nothing and teamwork is EVERYTHING !
This is one of the most important and fundamental part of the process to build you into a solder. Strangely enough for all of their demands for "Equality" women are exempt from this time honored and valuable tradition.
Yeah kind of fake
I was in the Army from 89 to 91. Basic training at Ft. Leonard Wood, MO ("Ft. Lost in the Woods" as we called it"). When we got our first haircut we were asked "Quarter inch or an eighth of an inch?" Well, I thought, "let's take it down to the minimum." So they left on one-eighth of an inch. To add insult to injury, we had to PAY for those haircuts! Good times. : - )
The most annoying thing is, once you learn to march in step, you do that skip thing to get in step, and you keep doing it the rest of your life.
I left the (Swedish) army in 1988 and I still do it today when I'm out walking with my wife...it's nuts...
Why would that be annoying? Do you also stand next to someone, extend your arm out to the side to make sure your 40" from them? LOL
@@jeffburnham6611 No social distancing is six feet of two meters, arms are not yet that long, LOL.This is the new COVID Army rules after CCP decided make a new designer virus.
John, Australia.
So true. More annoying is the habit, nearly beat in to us, to NEVER walk between a running vehicle (tanks) and another vehicle or obstacle. I still, all these many years later, subconsciously avoid walking next to running parked cars in parking lots. It’s nuts.
@@k.chriscaldwell4141 Must be like asparagus stink, not everyone picks it up. My favorite part of Army afterlifei s no longer hearing "Get down and give me twenty". Although by the end of Basic, we deliberately incurred 50 to reply to our Hawaiian SDI, when he asked us, "What you say, Company?", "Don Ho sucks!!!" (Tiny Bubbles was our loathed marching song).
Love, love, love this movie! Saw it 4 years before I joined in 1985. What's made it better since is that a lot of this stuff really kind of happens in the military. Also, my old unit's patch is in this scene at 0:46. Its the one to the left of the door top middle, 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment (2 ACR) The others are: left 3rd ACR, right 194th Armored Brigade, and bottom middle 11th ACR.
That's Ft Knox Kentucky, I did a summer cycle back in 1985 myself.
11th ACR and 101st Here. *Salute
Thank you for your service
1st Cavalry Division. First Team!
I went to Knox and ended up in F-troop 2/2 ACR. 90-92.
I was a caddy in 1981 when this came out, so Murray was ALREADY our God. We used "that's a fact, Jack," a lot.
Candy's face when he gets hit with the duffle bag. 🤣

And Spies Like Us
Can you imagine Belushi as a soldier?
Wow,,, 1981 where have the years gone!!!
Having gone to Fort Knox for basic training and training in the barracks they lived in, it was a great feeling of nostalgia knowing they filmed it there. Just a shame all those buildings have since been torn down.
I was there in Oct 91 for basic. Watching this the memories came back.

@@WritersBlockWill cool. Sgt Block was the D.I. when i was there.
I was there in Basic Training in May 1985 in the same area of those barracks. Sang that same cadence while marching. My Drill Sergeants were not laid back. Bring back memories for sure.
I loved the way the hair shaving was "optional." Only poor John "Ox" Candy had a regulation haircut.
My boot camp hair cut was a LOT shorter than Candy's.
They gotta let the lead actors keep some of their hair so they can still look "cool" enough to bang the hot actresses
@@trex2092 Same here. There was no option.
At Fort Dix it was optional. You had a choice of a "short" haircut which was the standard buzz cut, and a "long" haircut which was compliant with AR 670-1. I suspect they did that because at Dix a "warm" day was below freezing. The Commanding General also demanded that soldiers be allowed to eat dessert because he wanted us to have the calories in it to keep our energy levels high, and there was no problem with that.
@@jmowreader9555 Not in summer it wasn't. Humid as Louisiana, sweat dripping off the bill of my cap just walking...

Oh, did you know him personally?
No, I didnt think you did.
So please just stfu.
Thanks.
Crazy thing is, if you had been in the US Army at a basic training post, EVERYONE there is accurate! Those are exactly the people you'd see in real life!
Ahhh-hahaha!! So right. He was "The King of Cool" in that scene.
@Big73Bang: I thought the same thing the first time seeing this movie in the theater. I was wondering if the writers were going through basic training with me.
These comedians make me laugh even when I’m in very bad mood. I will hear me laughing with them in heaven.
Just the cast itself was gold
Casts are usually made of plaster or fiberglass.
@@fredhammer6413 Please don't bring your family issues into this discussion.

I like how the two lead actors get to keep a civilian-looking haircut, but everyone else gets nuked
Elmo (Judge Reinhold) is out of step the whole time 😆😆😆
Probably high 😆
Id say that Hulka was mighty laid back acting for a drill instructor.
Drill Sergeant.
NOT Drill Instructor.
I’d say while he’s not as intense as he could be, he conveys authenticity and gravitas of an old SFC of the era. I went in in 84. Hulka reminds me of the old Vietnam guys I trained under. My recruiter looked just like him in fact
The DI’s I had at MCRD in ‘75 would eat hulka for lunch. 😂
@@OldMusicFan83 Arlee Arney has entered the chat...
He has a quiet intensity.
I love how it ends with Do Wah Diddy Diddy as the cadance. It worked out so well the Sgt was totally cool with it. It would have been great if they did the entire song.
I was in the army, at that time. Believe me, that would never have happened.
@@kuhnhan That's too bad. Like I said, it actually sounded pretty good as a marching tune.
What are you guys talking about? This is exactly how it was in the Army.
I was in the chair force.. we used to March to some song that went “if you want a date tonight, you could ask our sister flight! They’ll show up in combat boots” …. I don’t remember the rest but we had to keep it down low.
Had a drill sgt in AIT who used to march us to proud mary
I had a big bunch of people to watch this movie with me on my 23rd birthday and we all laughed and laughed. Sure it’s unrealistic but that’s part of the fun. I would have been honored to be on the set of this classic. According to Judge Reinhold all of the actors in “the platoon” were told stories by Warren Oates about working with him on The Wild Bunch and I would have considered it an honor among those fine men who got to hear those stories. Warren Oates in spite of his tough exterior really seemed like an awesome dude RIP.
I like Warren Oats. He's steel cut!
@@davemoss9505Agreed. Seemed like a great actor and great human being. Sadly he refused to seek medical help before he died so we lost him at the young age of 53 not even a year after Stripes came out. Still he left behind an impressive filmography in any event. And a legendary one at that.
If anyone is interested especially the opening things were filmed in Louisville Kentucky which is where I live.
I LOVE THE CHARACTER FRANCIS!!!! U THE MAN!!!!
LOL, the look on Psycho's face at 1:01 :)
Lighten up, Francis
This is the most realistic basic training/boot camp movie EVER. This is my word. And as such is beyond contestation.
*Full Metal Jacket has entered the chat.
@@paulheitkemper1559 Please. 😎Full Metal Jacket is the most UNrealistic basic training/boot camp movie EVER. Do you seriously believe that Marine, drill sergeants would hit, choke, and torture their recruits like that? No, they wouldn't. How do I know? Well, I visited a Marine recruiter shortly after this movie was released, and he personally promised me that this would never happen if I would join the Marines. And he said that Full Metal Jacket was just a silly movie and that I shouldn't judge the Marines off of a silly movie. Why would he lie?
@@richardstorm4603 hehe
My MP was better looking and wore a bikini full time.
Bill Murray's facial expression in the thumbnail 3:07 sums up how everybody feels on their first day at boot camp
I was too tired to think that way. Stayed up three days straight.
I am so happy I have purchased some these good old movies on my iPhone and I will watch them with my son when he is older!And I I feel a lot better now seen every minute of this movie!👍😁😉😀😃😄🙂😊
My Brother was in The Navy. They shave every recruit as bald as an Eagle. RIP Harold Ramis. RIP John Candy.
This is the style of haircut I prefer and have had for many years.
Which makes no sense, because Navy dudes with tenure have pretty relaxed cuts that look not much different than civilians
They left Bill's and Ramis' hair too long. My haircut in boot camp was like Candy's.
@@80s_Boombox_Collector Still has to be short in the back and clear around the ears.
Don't worry. They won't scalp you. They'll leave some to comb. But you won't have time to comb it.
I was an Officer of the Crown (Civilian) embedded in an Australian Army Unit and the Company Sergeant Major called Me Out for a Parade of Three of his soldiers.
I was his example of a Good Haircut.
Told his Three Soldiers to disappear from his sight until they too had Good Haircuts.
I remembered going through basic training. I sure do miss being 18 with my head shaved and running around. It made me a better citizen.
I love Elmo sitting behind Winger trying not to bust out laughing. .
I love this movie, but it made basic training seem so much more laid back and fun than it actually is. When I went through basic in 1990, I was like: Why isn't this like Stripes? This sucks.
It wouldn't be too funny if it was realistic. That's what Full Metal Jacket is for.
Me too. Until the last couple weeks. Then the drill sergeants eased up and showed some personality.
I saw it 2 weeks after basic training all of us looked at each other and said too bad basic wasn't that laid back
The Army of the late 1970s was much different than it was ten years later, when it headed to the Gulf War as a professional fighting force.
I went through in 1970. It isn't supposed to be laid back. It's supposed to get you ready for high stresses and minimal time to prepare.
4:43 John Candys Face Priceless!
Hulka was not a bad guy. He seemed like he really care about his recruits. He is also more old school. Does not believed in going easy. Going easy does not prepare you for the rigors of like. He actually respected him at the end of the movie.
I'm a veteran and I liked Hulka's character.
Every foot needs a big toe
Who else really misses John Candy? He made so many smile. He died at 43. 😢
I’m glad he had his children who carried on his legacy😊😊
His choice.
Of cholesterol poisoning?
Man I wish I could go back to those days 😪
Sooo many rising stars in this classic! Back when movies were great and comedy could be clean!
A lot of the comedy in this movie is not "clean."
😂
I think you're forgetting the nude shower scene.
I wouldn’t describe Stripes as being clean unless of course you watched it on TV where it was certainly much cleaner. But it is a great movie no debate there.
" HEY!, ONE OF THESE MEN MIGHT SAVE YA LIFE ONE OF THESE DAYS?, then again?, maybe one of us Won't!!!, LOVED IT!.
Watched this on VHS with the whole family back in the 80's
I loved this movie so much back in 81'.
I joined the Army a few weeks later. 😀
It wasn't anything like the movie. 😧
What, you didn't get naked with sexy MP's that looked like PJ Soles and Sean Young?!

No...that was over 40 years ago.
Did 8 years then got out. Good experience. But unlike Stripes,
Nothing funny about it.
@@JesusGarcia-cs9wl yeah i can relate
Where did you go for basic and AIT?
This movie was originally supposed to be "Cheech & Chong Go To The Army", but Chong didn't like not having the creative control and they backed out. Instead we got Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, John Candy, and the rest of these guys and it was still hilarious!!
That's funny. Cheech Marin actually went to Canada to avoid the Vietnam draft and met Canadian-born Chong.
Much better movie without those clowns.
cheech and chong were not funny at all. And which one was it who said they didnt even smoke weed? very obvious and not funny cant stand that they are like the faces of it
Cheech and Chong would have been a crappy movie. Compared to the cast here those guys are bush league.
They should've made both versions.
I was 12 when this movie came out. My dad was a Vietnam vet and wasn’t too keen on it. It was my favorite movie. 6 years later I joined the Army and went to basic training at Ft Knox, where stripes was filmed. Sat in that very room day one.
I was in this very room for 19K OSUT basic training at Fort Knox, Kentucky in October of 1992, a little over 10 years after this filming. We'd just arrived by bus, from Louisville, at about 4 in the morning. This was the "what the hell have I gotten myself into?" moment.
Saw this when it came out, I was 15 years old.....still one of the best ever.....
You can tell who was the biggest star by their haircut. Biggest names got less cut.
Apparently, John Candy didn't know before the scene was shot that they were all getting their hair cut. That expression on his face afterward wasn't all acting.
Same with Bill Murray having the least amount of marshmallow on him at the end of Ghostbusters.
Warren Oats was one of The Wild Bunch. That alone makes him a legend. He was the type of fantastic actor that simply doesn't exist any longer.
3:11 John Candy walking out with his shaved hair in his hands always slays me😂
Loved this movie. Never get tired of watching it 😊😊
R.I.P. Warren Oates, John Candy, And Harold Ramis!

Took my Army boot camp 51 years ago. As long as you did a halve descent job nobody really broke your balls much. Ten weeks after boot camp was in nice warm sunny Viet Nam.
Welcome home, Brother -- glad you made it.
We are still using M16s that you guys left.
Pretty looking rifles.
@@LongTran-em6hc I was one of the luckiest draftee. Had boot camp & AIT training 40 miles from my home so got to go home every weekend. Was placed in an assault helicopter company as a field wiremen. Got to play with wires all day long. Never had to fire my weapon. It was locked up in a room entire time in country. We had ass kicking ROK ( Korean Marines ) to protect us. Always wanted to go back to this beautiful country for vacation. We have a Vietnamese couple living next store to us in our row house. They are the best neighbors that we ever had. Very clean and never make a sound. Just hope & pray we never have to send young men & women into any more wars. Seems like nobody really wins.
Wow this response was so wholesome. Thank you for your service and thanks for putting such positivity out into the world all these years later.
@@JohnThomas-lq5qpDon't give this current regime a challenge, they're trying their best to make that happen as it is.
Actually quite a few comedians in that room. What a great cast.
I enlisted in the Army during my senior year of high school and left for basic training on June 16th. I was an M1A1 gunner (19K) and at the time the U.S. Army Armor center was at Ft. Knox where this was filmed. I got off the bus where they did. While standing at attention the weed (what our drill sergeants called us) next to me fainted and landed face first onto the pavement. Then we met our drill sergeants in the same room we did. I spent my first night in a one of those old white barracks. I ran the same obstacle course that John Candy goes off into the woods several times and when BM is trying to sneak away that was my tank motor pool. Basic and AIT was 16 weeks of fun for a kid like me. Like summer camp with weapons and really grumpy counselors. So many good memories. Now, all these years later I'm a licensed drone operator who's been accepted by the Ukrainians to come and teach new operators how to fly drones. Time to go make some more memories. Slava Ukraini!
Update: The Ukrainian government isn't letting foreigners teach at the drone academies. So, I've applied to join the International Legion. My fingers are crossed. When I enlisted the USSR was always swinging their nuclear peckers around. I've always wanted to kill some Russians. God willing, I'll get my chance. I'll be sure to post a special message from Ukraine just for Colin, the BF2, CoD, I mean EOD puke.
Ditto. Knox Sept. ‘85 to Feb. ‘86. M60s to M1A1s (19K) Wasn’t as fun as in this film, but it was fun.
I did Knox in 99. Never realized it was the same course

The late '70s to the late '90s were the golden era of modern movies. They haven't been good since then, and they were excellent before then but an older style.
What about the Marx Brothers era?
I went to OSUT at Fort Knox in 1991 and it was crazy being in the same exact area that this movie was filmed at. The barber shop, the small PX shopette, and the phone booths were exactly the same.

Well, Psycho got the modified Moe Howard.
Apparently because director Ivan Reitman wanted both Murray & Ramis to look a little more attractive since they're the leads.
Where's the realism ? Not wonder Murray has issues nowadays
Timeless classic
In 1979 we sang “Tiny Bubbles” while marching. It’s surprisingly marchable.
I still bust a gut when Sgt. Hulka called John Winger "Mr. Push-Ups" in the movie!
Bill Murray's best movie. This is where I saw Bill for the first time. As an Englishman, I was totally in awe of this uniquely confident, cocky performer.
Interesting. I've heard Stephen Fry talk about how cockyness is a prominent component in American comedy, whereas English comedy is more likely to favor more underdog-ish embarrassment, that sort of thing.
@@dianapevtsov I've seen that clip on RUclips. He mentions Belushi, a good friend of Murray's.

I'll never forget that first haircut the barbers had a lot of jokes they asked one recruit a black kid with a huge Afro how much hair he wanted to keep he answered "all of it" the barber took his time very carefully cut the Guy's hair when he was done he very carefully lifted the whole Afro off the recruit's head an d laid the whole head of hair in the recruit's lap he said he wanted to keep al his hair and he did. In the end his head was cleanly shorn it's a good memory.
Like shearing sheep.
Love this movie. It reminds me of my initial Indic in Fort Knox in the 70s. Same memories.
I went through Army basic at 35 years old.Its the best thing I ever did it reinvigorated with a can do attitude.It changed me for the better.

Thanks, I was trying to remember his name. Judd didn't sound right.
As for the marching scene at the end of this video, I used to work for the Air Force as a civilian. My job was pitching and sorting mail for young airmen in the dormitories. On the way to work, that song would come on, and I would imagine if a group of airmen are marching along with that song...😂
Ha !!! The Sargent has an UNCLE TOM !!😮😮😅😅😅😊😊😊😂😂
Funny note, director Ivan Reitman didn't tell the cast that real Army barbers would do their haircuts so their reactions of disbelief are genuine. Because they were top billed, Murray and Ramis avoided being buzzed.
