  • You chose it, we viewed it. “Full Metal Jacket” was at the top of our list, especially with the Marine Birthday having just passed.
    What’s the most iconic movie for each branch of service?
    Richard Ryan is back with former Marine Scout Sniper Logan Stark and former Army Ranger Mat Best to react to some military classics... Richard also threw in a couple Marine recruiting commercials that might make you double take.

Interesting fact about producing this commercial -- they initially were going to get Tom Hanks to play the role of the lava monster, but Hanks' schedule didn't line up quite right. Through a couple strokes of luck they actually wound up finding a real lava monster named Gunnstein from eastern Norway to play the part.

    R. Lee Ermey played a Drill Instructor so well because he actually was one. He served in India Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego from 1965 to 1967.
    Having gone through Marine Corp boot camp this is by far the most accurate depiction of what boot camp and Drill Instructors are like.

    Fun Fact: The reason gunny makes such a good drill sergeant is because he was one. In fact that is how he got the part in full metal jacket. He was on set as an adviser. And while demonstrating it for everyone (to show the actor that had the part how to do it) the director saw how he looked on camera (he had been watching him do it in person but after the third or fourth time had a look at it through the camera and was like "this is what I have been looking for") and gave him the part and thus his acting career was born.

For a moment or two, the moon hides behind a cloud and the whole screen is black, but you can still hear the waves. When the moon comes out again, the moonlight shows what looks like hundreds of boot prints in the sand. And the audience didn't hear a fucking thing.
