The drill sergeant was an actual drill sergeant he was there to help the actor out but they used him instead
How the military should be!!!! Welcome to the military what protects America except well now days blm and looting riots burning is ok.
It's drill instructor, not sergeant.
It's either or because the instructions will play mind games on the titles so it's not wrong yet it is.
The machinegunner in the helicopter was asked (while shooting at civilians in the rice patties) if he ever SHOT any women or children. He said sometimes. Joker asked how he could do that, talking about the morality of the act. The gunner (who originally was supposed to play the drill instructor) turns it around and says it is easy because you just don't lead them as far...a reference to shooting slightly ahead of a moving target... basically saying they don't run as fast as the men do. AND THAT is why Rastaman was puking in his helmet.
R. Lee Ermey who played Sgt. Hartman was once a real Marine D.I. He said that yes, it was rough. He used a lot of his own lines in this movie. He was a real life bad ass mo fo
YOU GOT A WAR FACE ?
I used to work with several ex-Marines. They were "different" LOL.
As far as Hartman's insults.........between the ex-Navy and USMC guys I worked with, I'd heard almost all of those insults before I ever saw the movie.
(The "common courtesy to give him a reach-around" was a new one....LOL)
@@bizjetfixr8352lol yep my dad was nam era army .. I heard all this a lot lol .. not that he drilled us kids just dad talking shit .. he was a construction worker too so he had a mouth .. one of the funniest men you could meet .. until he needed to be serious then look the hell out lol
RIP Gunny
R. Lee Ermey (Gunny Hartman) was a real Drill Sergeant back in the days.
He's the only Marine who got honorrary promotion from Staff Sergeant to Gunnery Sergeant (in 2002 - 30 yerars after medically retirement) while in non active duty.
This isn't a war movie, it's an anti-war movie.
This is DEFINITELY one of my top 10 favorite movies of all time. I had a crush on R Lee Ermey!!!!!
Name a pro-war movie.
@@kinghadbar probably some nazi propaganda films
@@kinghadbar "300"
They always were war movies until virtue signaling became a currency...
Two of my best friend's (brothers a year apart) dad was a Marine Drill Sargeant during this time period, Vietnam War years and Drill Sargeants did talk like that. My friend's dad had cassette tapes of Marine Drill Sargeants from the 60's going off on the Recruits that he used to play for us when we were in high school in the 80's. The tapes were pretty funny, brutal and extremely politically incorrect.
"Happy Birthday, Zipper Head" LOL 🤣🤣
Bootcamp is about training the troop to act as a unit and to stay alive. Marine bootcamp was probably the toughest. Me, U.S. Navy 1967-1971, not easy but not Parris Island.
27:26 Fun fact, the door gunner actor was the one who originally landed the role of SDI Sgt. Hartman! Yep! hahaha!
That guy used to be a drill sergeant for real. Stanley Kubrick, the Director, told him he would have no lines and just to play it as he would have in real life, so that's what he did.
Something like that happened to me during USMC bootcamp, Parris Island, SC in 1988. Two punches to the face! Hard core!
Fun Facts about the filming of Full Metal Jacket.
Kubrick filmed Full Metal Jacket in England in 1985 and 1986. Scenes were filmed in Cambridgeshire, the Norfolk Broads, in eastern London at Millennium Mills and Beckton Gas Works in Newham, and in the Isle of Dogs. Bassingbourn Barracks, a former Royal Air Force station and then British Army base, was used as the Parris Island Marine boot camp. A British Army rifle range near Barton, Cambridge, was used for the scene in which Hartman congratulates Private Pyle for his shooting skills. Kubrick worked from still photographs of Huế taken in 1968; he found an area owned by British Gas that closely resembled it and was scheduled to be demolished. The disused Beckton Gas Works, a few miles from central London, was filmed to depict Huế after attacks. Kubrick had buildings blown up, and the film's art director used a wrecking ball to knock specific holes in some buildings for two months. Kubrick had a plastic replica jungle flown in from California but once he saw it dismissed the idea, saying; "I don't like it. Get rid of it." The open country scenes were filmed at marshland in Cliffe-at-Hoo and along the River Thames; locations were supplemented with 200 imported Spanish palm trees and 100,000 plastic tropical plants from Hong Kong.
Kubrick acquired four M41 tanks from a Belgian army colonel who was an admirer. Westland Wessex helicopters, which have a much longer and less-rounded nose than that of the Vietnam era H-34, were painted Marine green to represent Marine Corps Sikorsky H-34 Choctaw helicopters. Kubrick obtained a selection of rifles, M79 grenade launchers, and M60 machine guns from a licensed weapons dealer.
Modine described the filming as difficult; Beckton Gas Works was a toxic environment for the film crew, being contaminated with asbestos and hundreds of other chemicals. During the boot camp sequence of the film, Modine and the other recruits underwent Marine Corps training, during which Ermey yelled at them for 10 hours a day while filming the Parris Island scenes. To ensure the actors' reactions to Ermey's lines were as authentic and fresh as possible, Ermey and the recruits did not rehearse together. For film continuity, each recruit had his head shaved once a week.
Ermy also has a minor role in Apocalypse Now as a helicopter pilot.
It’s also worth reading up on the Mai Lai Massacre; one of the most horrific incidents to take place during the Vietnam War.
Kubrick didn't like traveling so the battles were filmed in London Docks complete with imported palm trees !!
I can only speak from post-Vietnam US Navy.
1. There are always more than one CC in boot camp (at least in the Navy) where partially recruits can't be abused. Verbal abuse is one thing but physical was a NO GO.
2. Vincent D'Onofrio played the Bug in MIB and had to put on 50lbs for this role
3. Hardman was out of control. Others outside his recruits would have noticed and he would have been held accountable.
4. "I don't know, but I've been told. Eskimo pussy is mighty cold." was used in my Navy recruit company in 1981.
5. In the US Navy real live ammo was always accounted for, and Pyle wouldn't have had it on his person in the head.
6. The lights in the head are always lit. (lighting I suspect).
7. "Blanket parties" were a real deal. We didn't have one because we didn't have a Gomer Pyle.
8. The hooker in Saigon is just distracting them so the motorcycle guys can steal the camera. I saw that happen in the Philippines.
9. "I wouldn't shit you, you're my favorite turd" I've used that before.
10. Even by Hollywood standards, Kubrick went overboard with excessive bloodletting.
The way I see it ladies, you owe me for one jelly donut!
Only problem is there is always two or three drill instructors, it is hilarious the punishments
The nickname Pyle is from an old TV comedy Gomer Pyle, USMC. Also even if the Sergeant wasn’t killed he still wouldn’t have gone to Vietnam, he would have gotten a new batch of men to train.
And a full metal jacket is a destructive type of bullet.
Now, that was fun to watch.
Have a great Sunday. 👍🏻
That drill Sgt is a real gunnery Sgt his name is R. LEE ERMY
the soap in a sock is a blanket party...and they are dispensed.
28:08 Joker was actually asking if he also killed women and children. That's when he said, "Sometimes." And then, Joker asks, "How can you kill women and children?" That's when he answered back, "It's easy. You just don't lead them so much." (like when a hunter shoots ahead of a running deer)
If you DID hit the drill instructor back, that would be a HUGE deal. You would be locked up.
I dont think you comprehended the seriousness and discipline that marines had to endure to be winners and the elite.
What happened to Pyle is called a “blanket party”.
Real drill sergeant
Dislogue totally improved
its crazy to believe but extreme cases like private pyle still happen. i went to bootcamp in 2018 and was in Charlie company, not too long before i arrived a recruit from Kilo Company had jumped off the roof of his squad bay because his drill instructors tortured him bad. i heard they threw him in the dryer and turned it on. idk if that was recruit gossip or not but something crazy pushed him to his limit for sure.
D.I.s will pick out someone to destroy in each platoon.
Civilians using the terms “Army & Soldiers” for every branch is a pet peeve of most Veterans 😡
They were extra hard on recruits during basis training, especially with the Vietnam war going on.
That's what the marine corps calls a code red If you watch a few good men with tom cruise and jack Nicholson you'll hear this phrase over and over
Lime is an alkaline,it dissolves the body quicker..like putting body in sulphuric acid
It's called a (Blanket party), we had a guy screwing up a lot in our platoon and he got the same.
As funny as this movie seems at times, especially the beginning boot sequences, there is very little comedy in it.
You gotta work ur position as part of the machine hence the hardness on pile u must work or u get out of the way otherwise ur breaking the machine so 2speak?
It's called a "Blanket Party"
The actors were not told about the hair cut until it happened.
Private Pile had some sort of mental deficiency. He did not belong there.
There was Project 100,000 around this time when they lowered the physical and mental requirements for the military.
There's a book on the subject called "McNamara's Morons" that tells how people who were literally retarded or morbidly obese were drafted into the military and let's just say the treatment of Pyle is actually sugarcoated to the real things that often happened to these men.
They did the same in all branches I was In the US Navy
This drill instructor didn't go off a script. He did all of it on his own based in his experience as a real drill instructor.
When the PTSD kicks in and makes you a star.
@@npc2153. Hard men make life easy. Weak men make life hard.
Hard men makes peoples lives hard. Not easy. @@tallwalls76
@@npc2153 I am sorry you have to live with the condition of being a debbie downer.
he said that he hopes this is a show case of what not to do as a drill instructor.
Damn, bro! I’ve never seen somebody watch the first half of the movie and think it was a comedy 😂
Some people(many Americans) are brought up a certain way. I dont think he comprehends the depth and seriousness of it.
But, it is a comedy...?
The more creative lines DIs use are supposed to be ridiculous. They can be real comedians that you're not allowed to laugh at.
In basic the DS's were hilarious. As long as it wasn't directed at you of course.
I think the first half is meant to lure in Americans who don't think critically about all the negative reinforcement, brainwashing and abuse, and shock them when that all results in Pyle's murder-suicide, maybe even get someone to rethink some of their assumptions. But obviously it doesn't always work :/
I went through Marine boot camp in 1969 and without question, this is by far the most realistic depiction of what we went through. Training was harsh, very harsh. The DIs' job was to instill discipline, military bearing and make us all killers in 13 weeks. Not an easy task for a bunch of 19 year olds just out of high school.
@boosuedon, I hear you Brother, I went through Army boot camp at Ft Jackson SC in Feb 1965, and yes it was realistic but just an overview, we did 16 straight weeks, 8 weeks boot camp and 8 weeks of AIT with jungle survival training 6 days a week average 16 hours a day, they were they were taking us to near total exhaustion every day. I had always heard that jump school at FT Benning was was tough training, I was pleasantly surprised, compared to what I had been through at Jackson that was like spending 3 weeks at Disney world.
Parris Island?
Yeah, Lee Ermey the Dude who played the DI was a real USMC DI at Paradise Island right through the Vietnam War! He was only supposed to be an advisor for the film. However, he expressed interest to Kubrick about playing the role of the DI himself when Kubrick phoned him about the consulting position. Kubrick rejected him as the role had already been cast. Subsequently Ermey recorded some interviews with potential cast Members in Character wearing his DI persona. Kubrick saw the footage and the poor dude who had the role was immediately replaced! Kubrick did however give him a Camino as the helicopter transport gunner when the film transitions into Vietnam.
@@jaydouglas8845 They are currently training losers who will not be hard enough to win wars against enemies who do not subscribe to the woke ideology that dominates current US training doctrine. --- I went thru PISC RTR 3rd Bn Lima Co Plt 3037 USMC 1989. Co-ed training for Marines is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of, and Gen. Berger's re-structuring of the Corps by removing armor, artillery, and more units is running a close second for stupidity.
I was in the Marines from 1985 - 1989 and again in 1991 Semper Fi
First movie I ever saw with my wife. She picked it. 4 months later we got married. Almost 36 years, 4 kids, and 9 grandkids later going strong.
Damn that's some movie to go on a date first time
"nobody told me this movie was this funny"
Uhh... Yeah. You'll see.
I love when people say they’d hit a drill instructor because even if you could manage to attack one, there’s 2 more that are gonna probably put you in medical for so long you’ll fulfill your contract
Also keep in mind the Instructor is trained to fight and subdue!!!
Especially Vietnam war era boot camp.
yeah i laughed when he said that. he has no idea lol.
Excactly you'd of got your ass stomped.
And remember most Dis were WWII veterans who were career military. Some green kid from California would get a time in the brig, dishonorable discharge when he got out of ICU.
I always believed Joker killed the sniper not out of anger, but more of a mercy-kill.
Yeah, she was asking to be killed
It is strongly implied that is what happened
no duh. she was dying anyways but he probably would have wanted to save her if she were not dying. then Animal Mother would have fragged him for it. I love Animal Mother. I would have left her for the rats.
Vincent Donofrio absolutely crushed his role in this movie. Including gaining a bunch of weight for it. Check out Adventures in Babysitting, where he’s cast as a mechanic who the little girl thinks is Thor, her favorite comic book character. He’s chiseled Adonis in it.
He said he had to put on 80 lbs to be private Pile
The “looking at the feet” was the nightly hygiene inspection. They checked to see if anyone had any issues. They also made us chug a canteen of water without stopping every night. If you stopped drinking before it was gone, you had to fill it back up and drink it again.
What’s the deal with chugging water? So you naturally have to wake up early to pee or something?
@@mattalibozek7258 It may sound weird but so many just don't realize they haven't drank enough water. SO many people faint on ruck marches due to dehydration and still have plenty of water on them.
@@mattalibozek7258 You need the water and salt in your body the night before you hump w/a full load of gear. I've seen men pass out due to heat and dehydration.
They were constantly making us drink water. I went to basic in the summer months and guys would fall out all the time from dehydration. Failure to take care of our bodies was considered destruction of government property. Remember not to lock your knees, LOL.
@@mattalibozek7258 you should weigh yourself before you go to bed and right when you wake up. all of the weight you lost was water weight.
you notice this in a buttoned up tent with all the goddamn condensation on your tent walls.
add that to what the other fellas said. dehydration sucks. I've been so dehydrated and down from heat I've puked and felt cold.
My dad was in the army in the 1960’s and he called that a blanket party what they did to Pyle and he said when he watch this movie it was a pretty accurate description of what boot camp was like the drill instructor was there to weed out problems and break soldiers down and rebuild them up,the gunner on the helicopter was originally slated to play the drill instructor,
It is. The blanket party, I mean; still happens today in the Army, and aye, it's quite accurate
That’s what we called it in 77
same in 93@@aubreyjones2206
Still a blanket party in 97.
went through in 07. didn't have blanket parties but we were allowed to call out another soldier and roll on the mat. Problem soldiers were choked out by other's if they caused too many problems. One problem soldier could beat a couple guys on the mat but not 40+ over and over.
Pyle isn't pissed off or mad. He snapped. He's having whats called a dissociative reaction in psychological terms. He can no longer reconcile his personality with the reality around him. In today's military he wouldn't pass the psych exams that get you into basic.
Psychology testing to get into the military? Where are you from?
@@briandavies-wo1mn Bro they do psych evaluations at processing intake centers. They are mandatory.
I had the experience of Marine Corps bootcamp at Parris Island in 1977/78. On the island for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. I was all of 5'1" and 117lbs. I ended up serving 6 years as an Expeditionary Airfield Equipment Specialist. I wouldn't trade that experience for anything.
"Swing with wing."
Damn you must be a hard mfer to do all that at 5'1". Respect
I was at Fairchild AFB while you were at Parris Island, Thank You for serving Sir!
This is back in the day when a drill instructor was responsible for breaking down the civilian and building up someone worthy of combat. Standards are very different today.
Yeah because this country has gone soft
@@taylordunn5608very soft.....America is all about feeeellliinnggss now.....
This thread reads like a boomer facebook post lmao
A family member of mine had to take sensitivity training as a Drill Sergeant. Times have changed. 👍🍻
@@ben9and1-3rd And they wonder why they can't fill recruiting quotas.
The drill instructor had EIGHT WEEKS to get you ready to go to Vietnam. So he HAD TO BE extra hard on the recruits.
She was a sniper. She fought for her country as a soldier and she deserves a soldier's death. I think the real meaning of this scene was to let civilians know women and children die in war. They are often raped and killed without merit. The point being is once you are willing to kill life bearers, there is little hope for the species.
She was a soldier, like you said.
It was an unspoken rule that before you went to basic training you had to watch this movie. I know I did. My DS called me Jethro because I was as big as Pyle in this and from Kentucky. He's hard on him because the team is only as strong as the weakest member. Speaking of booby traps. On the forth of July when I was in Iraq we were going down the road in a convoy. I spotted an American flag laying on the ground about 100 meters off the road. Thing is you see the shape of an artillery round under it. We of course called it in and EOD came out and took care of the IED.
I only wish the round would have gone off as the idiot was making the trap, and how dare he place our flag on the ground!!!
My father is a Vietnam Vet and he told me this is the most realistic portrayal of boot camp in the late 1960s during the war.
Back when I went to basic training this was pretty much how it was. It was hard but we also had a lot of fun if you can believe that. There were different drill instructors in the company, and they had different approaches depending on what they were there to teach us. But our senior drill was a bastard. That guy hated puppies and kittens! But his job was to prepare us for war and try to keep us from getting ourselves killed. We were very young, and we had stumbled into a world of very serious business. Sergeant Grant if you are still out there, thanks for straightening me out. Ft Dix 1979.
I have read that many of the harshest, intimidating Drill Sergeant's used such tactics. So their men could have a hatred of the Sergeant, thus providing a bond together.
@@laudanum669 Absolutely. All of it was part of breaking down rebuilding making all work together against an ultimate enemy as parts of an organized force. Now Pyle there, he was trying to fix but he went a bit too far with an unstable man.
@@laudanum669 You are correct. They threw young men together from all over. Many times, we had little in common. By giving us a shared source of pain, we created bonds. Also, the longer we were there the less motivation we needed.
the saddest part in this movie is the moment that you see Pvt. Pile's mental break. From one scene to the next you can see his sycosis take root. this kind of stuff can and will happen in some instances like this.
he was being trained to be an emotionless killer. Every once in a while you create a Frankenstein.
Vincent D'Onofrio, "Gomer," was working as a bouncer when he heard about this role. He was also an aspiring actor and gained 60lb to get the role. The dude was a beast and had to train DOWN to get the role. Gomer for the win!
The guy who played Joker told him about it, Matthew Modine is friends with him. Told him what he was working on and for him to audition for a role
That dude is an amazing professional actor. He has a gift where he can memorize pages of lines in one reading.
What's crazy is that D'Onofrio was also in the movie _Adventures In Babysitting_ which came out the same year but he looks totally different.
D'Onofrio also played the bug in the "Edgar" suit in Men In Black.
@@rc1363 the only thing that pulls it’s weight around here is my god damn truck
People always talk about how harsh the drill seargeant was. What a lot if them dont realize that there was a reason.
In an interview, Ermey talked about his days as a Drill Instructor. He talked about the fact that they did hit soldiers and it was actuslly worse than the movies. But he said, you have to understand. It was during Vietnam and these men were going to be sent straight into combat. If they werent hardened, if they hesitaded for even a second in battle, they were dead.
He also said that every week, a list of killed,wounded and missing would come out. And every week one or more men would show up on the list that he had trained. He felt like he failed those men, so he trained them hard. He cared for every one of them.
The whole film including the Vietnam scenes was shot entirely in England. Director Stanley Kubrick had a fear of flying and never left England.
It's actually funny thinking about that considering the dude wasn't even from the UK. He had his one flight and said "aight, that's it"
In real life, instead of just one drill sergeant screaming at the platoon, there would be four of them. Anxiety level X4.
When I went through bootcamp, the major goal was to blend in, low profile and disappear. Do not attract any attention.
You can laugh it up but this is real shuff
The way it was set up that shooting the wounded young girl is the merciful and a morally "good" action was well done. The girl had intentionally wounded soldiers to lure out others attempting to rescue only to wound them. Joker treated her better, by putting her out of her misery, than how she had treated others. So you could say that is a morally "good" action by shooting her.
Such a well done movie.
Wow, I’ve probably seen this movie probably 30 times and never thought of it as being funny. My father was an Iwo Jima, Guadalcanal, Okinawa island hopping Marine during World War II. He passed away in 1977 at 57 years old. I wish he would’ve been around to watch this movie and Private Ryan, and several others. He never really spoke about his time in the Marine Corps, but I heard him talk to others, and there was nothing to laugh about. RIP to my dad a USMC Marine Corps veteran an American hero Warrior. Totally respected in my neighborhood, nobody ever F’d with my dad or his family…
Lighten up. Those lines are undeniably funny
I agree...it's a bit strange to see people laugh at this, despite how the lines may be funny in another context.
I think it's a matter of differing perspectives. I had one grandfather at Midway, a survivor of the USS Hammann, and one at the Battle of the Bulge.
They couldn't find it in themselves to laugh at _everything,_ but you'd be surprised what they found humor in to cope with what they'd seen.
I once went to school with a former drill sergeant in the British Army. He said their preparation for meeting a new group of trainees was to have a pint of beer and watch the first 45 minutes of this movie "to get in the mood." 😂
What kind of drugs do you have to be on to think that FMJ is a comedy?
Dark, Dark comedy
gallows humor
There are definitely parts of it that are funny. Maybe not the whole movie, but a large part of that boot camp segment with some exceptions, is funny. To me, at least. Maybe I'm crazy or something.
The drill sergeant's opening scene was almost entirely improvised. When he talks about giving the reacharound, Kubrick called cut and ran up to Ermey and demanded to know what that phrase even meant.
not drill sgt in marines... drill instucter in my marine corp..
@@hvac0Marine Corps...not corp
That's hilarious because I have used that phrase in the Army during meetings. Command would pass down some bullshit order and I'd ask if we were getting a reach around.
The drill sergeant was an actual drill sergeant in real life he was there to train an actor but they used him instead!
R.Lee Emery was a real drill sergeant. He was also in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake. He also had a tv show called Mail Call
MAIL CALL!!! Lock and load (both were on the History Channel.) Mississippi Burning, Toy Story. Switch back, Prefontaine, RIP Sir.
I didn't know that,
Thank you, 😊
@@bpankey1976Gunny! Legend!
No he was NOT. He’s a Marine. They are Drill Instructors. Drill sergeants are in the US Army.
This movie is so wonderful for exposing the uninitiated to the magical education process that basic training or boot camp provides for the lucky few. How ridiculous is it for a movie director to think that any actor could ever emulate the divine gift that Drill Sergeants/Drill Instructors are born with?
Fun fact: The guy shooting the M60 saying "Get Some" has appeared in several War themed Movies and Shows, including the Sgt who served with Tom Hanks in Saving Private Ryan. He was also suppose to be the Drill instructor but R. Lee Ermey got it instead. Also R. Lee Ermey was a Staff Sergeant when he retired but was promoted to Gunnery Sgt in 2002 after the fact that he had retired by Marine Corps Commandant James L. Jones. This was the only time the Marine Corps promoted someone after they retired
Way to many interruptions absent of thoughtful commentary. I could not endure. Hopefully the criticism will be taken to heart.
You numbah ten michael!
When joker asked the guy shooting people out of the helicopter if he does women or children. He meant does he kill them
your reactions are priceless. R. Lee Emery was a marine drill instructor and Kubrick actually let him write his own dialogue. RIP to a great man.
AMEN! SEMPER FI!
That drill instructor loved all of them. He was only tough on Pyle when he didn't do things right. Once he started doing good, he gave him compliments
Ultimately, the success or failure of the recruit is a reflection of the DI. They need to know what the strengths and weaknesses of the individual are. They need to know when they are at the breaking point. If a Marine snaps under pressure, like in combat, he or she becomes a danger to themselves and their fellow Marines.
@@knoahbody69 - And if the DI would've recognized that Pile was already off the deep end, he should've tried due process, call in the MPs and have him psychologically evaluated. But... this was the Vietnam Era. Some scanning was still in development.
Is that why he started talking shit to a guy with crazy eyes holding a loaded rifle?🤣 if he cared he would’ve de-escalate the situation in the bathroom🤷🏽♂️
Loved them so much he convinced one of them to murder him lol
@@crazydrummer181 no.. dummy. The guy was just crazy
Full metal jacket is the designation of the bullets they used not a jacket
Also known as ball ammunition. FMJ is the only ammunition allowed by the Geneva Convention as other types are cruel against humanity.
@@prollins6443 I suppose in the old days, paper magazines were used instead of a powder horn a few generations back. Then they had paper cartridges attached to bullets, and then the "full metal jacket" cartridge was the pinnacle of technology. I hear that they are experimenting with polymer jacketed rounds that explode with the propellant so "policing brass" will be a thing of the past, plus make ammo lighter.
@@knoahbody69 that could be a possibility for how it was named to begin with.
Nowadays, it refers to the projectile. FMJ, Hollowpoint, Armor-piercing, Sabot tungsten penetractor. All refer to the projectile and its designed mission. A.k.a. the pew section - according to Donut Operator!
R. Lee Ermey was just a technical adviser. The helicopter door gunner was the original Sgt. Hartman. When Ermey showed him how to act a scene, he was immediately given the role. The rest is history. He said in an interview that they weren't supposed to hit recruits but they had twice as many recruits to train in half the time so they improvised a lot.
If you've already re-watched FMJ, you'll know this already, but the first time you watch this movie, you pay the most attention to Private Joker, since he's clearly the movie's main character. However, every time you watch this movie in the future, every time Gomer's on the screen, he WILL be the focus of your attention, because you can't look away from the oncoming train wreck that is the ending weeks of his life.
My second favorite Kubrick flick next to "The Shining." Joined the Navy 3 years after it came out in theaters. Watched it once a month during deployments.
The messed up thing is that there was definitely a lot of this way of thinking and like they say war brings out the worst in people my dad had first hand experience seeing it. My dad was army though combat engineer and he was there during the Tet Offense 16:11
the opening shot of the haircuts...kubrick waited till the end of filming then made all the guys get their haircuts again when they thought they'd finally finished. The looks on their faces was real
Their hair was long as shit in that beginning scene….how could that have been the last thing they filmed? They didn’t have long hair during the rest of the movie. That just doesn’t make sense
@@jamesmoore4003 The movie was filmed out if sequence.
@@flobp2381 I'm too lazy to look up any filming schedule, but the head shaving had to be _before_ "Parris Island" filming and _after_ "Vietnam." So he's right to question how the haircuts had been the last to be filmed. Unless Joker and Cowboy had their head shaved twice during filming.
@@tigerburn81 According to the production notes filming went from August 1985 through August 1986. Add to that R.Lee Ermy was in a car accident and was out for four months due ti injuey and the movie was likely filmed out of sequence, anything's possible.
@@flobp2381 still doesn’t make sense…they would have had to film everything else and then waited months for their hair to grow back out and then shoot that scene…and maybe they did but that just wouldn’t make sense to wrap with filming and then call everyone back months later just to film a haircut
The whole time Adogg is saying, "Oh he's getting it together. What they did to him must be pushing him to get it right, etc." I'm just shaking my head harder and harder. LOL
There is always someone in the troop that can't help but smile when being shouted at.
I went through boot camp in ‘99 and the shit the DI’s came up with for insults was impressive. It was the best combination of ruthless and hilarious.
For the youngsters who's only reference is today's woke military................things changed.
R. Lee Ermy improvised most of his lines.
Poor Pyle didn’t belong in the military. He definitely had some sort of mental disability and should’ve been exempt from the draft.
Not the way it worked. Look it up. Many mentally disabled or lower iq men were trained with handlers to help them with basic tasks. All to bolster fighting numbers. Many of these men died in the jungles.
Ever heard of McNamara’s morons
Great reaction video to an excellent Stanley Kubrick movie! In some ways it's like to separate movies, two different stories. The boot camp experiences were a complete story on its own. Grafting the Vietnam experiences onto that showed the powefful transition from training to war. GREAT movie and an excellent reaction to it!
One of my favourite movies, know every line.
I also love the theory someone proposed that the blanket party where Pile is hit with the soap, as well as the scene in the bathroom where he kills SGT Heartman are both dream sequences, and that Animal Mother who apparently looks similar to Pile, is the ideal Pile, or rather, what Pile might have become if properly moulded by the Marines. Such amazing acting by all involved, particularly by R. Lee Ermy who wasn't even acting due to his being a former Gunnery sergeant.
Thing with Pyle was that he was mentally challenged. In the 60s and 70s and no lie, even up till today, a lot of people don’t see or recognize this. All the things that were done to him during boot camp just made him break from reality. They don’t say it during the movie but in the book they say he might be a section 8 due to his handicap.
There’s a quick scene in the movie where they mention it. Joker is mopping the bathroom with another guy and says “I don’t think Leonard can hack it anymore, I think Leonard’s a section 8.”
This is believable since McNamara decided to lower the acceptable IQ scores during this time period. Proved to be a very bad idea that resulted in plenty of deaths. Funny thing is a variation of this policy is supposedly in use in LE. The theory is lower IQ people will follow orders without asking questions more readily. Well we've seen how that is working out.
My dad is a retired Army Warrant Officer and a retired elected Sheriff. He took me to see this movie in the theater when I was 12, and I was hooked. I became a Navy Seabee Master Chief, and served for 26yrs, 2 wars and several conflicts. I'm retired now, but my oldest son is keeping up the tradition as a Marine, and one of my younger brothers just became a command Sergeant Major in the army.
Thanks for your service, Master Chief. fellow sailor here. Although not as long as you. . My Grandfather was CPO, Uncle was GM2 , Father was YM2 and brother was also CPO. So my family were all Navy and my nephew went Army.
I will represent the Air Force as a Staff Sergeant veteran, Please covey a huge Thank You to your living family that are or have served!!
best part is that boot camp was not scripted . this shit just spilled out of him cause of his actual career as a drill sergeant . Rip R lee
Vincent D'Onofrio is one of the most under rated actors in Hollywood.
This is the Marine Corps not 5he Army! When I was at Parris Island in 1967 we had 4 drill instructors not one! And we had one on duty at night all of the time! Other than that this is an accurate depiction of Marine Boot camp!
The worst part is they didnt UN-program returning vets from being killers back then.............wished all vets could have taken a few months to decompress and then be released. "You guys are assigned 72-hour guard duty of this nice secluded beach...."
From what I heard R. Lee Ermey was a consultant for the part of the drill Sergeant play by someone else but he couldn't replicate Erney's intensity so he was replaced by R. Lee Erney who had never acted before. Whatever the case may be he nailed it like no other could.
I always thought that if Pyle hadn't broken and snapped, he would've ended up as that door gunner in the helicopter laughing about shooting women and children. Just something that always stayed in my mind since I first saw this movie.
@7:12 You wouldn't have given that slap back, you would've gotten knocked TF out if you tried and then you would've failed out of basic training with no chance of reentry. That's kind of the whole point, to weed out those who aren't fit for getting shot at.
R Lee Ermey, who was a legit Marine Corps drill instructor, was the "military consultant" on set for Kubrik, and the original guy cast as Gunny was out sick but Kubrick still wanted to do some practice takes, so he had Ermey step in and run lines with the cast. The next day, the original castmember was dismissed, and Ermey took the role. Most of the opening bits were completely unscripted.
Too bad you didn't get the seriousness of this time and the horribleness going on. You think you were watching a comedy with all that laughing. A Kubrick masterpiece and you act like you're watching stand up. Watch it again.
In 1987 there were THREE Vietnam war movies that came out, Full Metal Jacket, Platoon, and Hamburger Hill. My friends and I went and watched them all at the cinema that year when we were in our 20's. I suggest you go take a look at the other two as well.
R. Lee Ermey actually came up with the dialogue insults himself.
My dad was career Navy. He used to refer to the USMC as Uncle Sam's Misguided Children.
That's Ok, because whenever the Marines needed to somewhere to fight, the Navy always gave them a ride.
