R. Lee Ermey was buried in the most inaccessible part of Arlington National Cemetery. It's a stiff uphill walk from any public entrance to the cemetery. So on a hot summer day, he's PT'ing your ass the whole way if you want to visit him. Fitting.

Fun fact: the door gunner guy was originally slated to play the drill instructor, and R. Lee Ermey was only a consultant, but he (Ermey) didn't like that they made the DI a bully. Having been a real drill instructor, Ermey understood that the DI needs to be tough, and brutal for the recruits, but not because he gets off on it, but because he's preparing them for combat. So "gunny" took steps to get his audition tape in front of Kubrick, and once Stanley heard him tearing down extras without skipping a beat, or repeating an insult, the sarge was relegated to be door gunner guy and got one scene, while R. Lee Ermey got his most memorable role ever.

According to my aunt, he was never the same after the war. God only knows what he went through over there, what he did or what was done to him....but he came back broken. After 2 failed marriages and alot of demons, he shaved his head bald, went down to the beach and shot himself in the head. He was 45 years old. USMC William Ronald Strobel Jr. 1952 - 1998

One of the most unbelievable facts about "Full Metal Jacket" is that the entire movie was filmed within ten miles of London, England. All of it. From Parris Island, South Carolina to the city of Hue, Vietnam. Stanley Kubrick was living in England at the time, and didn't want to go too far from home. And Stanley asked the "soldiers" what song they wanted to sing at the end, and THEY came up with the "Mickey Mouse Club Theme". War is hell.

During the American War in Vietnam, President Johnson needed more American young men in the military. So he told his Defense Secretary, Robert McNamara, to come up with a plan to increase their ranks because the Draft was not bringing in the number of young men they needed. McNamara developed a program called "Project 100,000". This profgram would recruit low I.Q. soldiers who would previously have been below military mental or physical standards. In this film, Leonard, Pvt. Pyle, was one of these recruits. You can view a speech by Hamilton Gregory who joined the Army during the war, and was assigned to look after a low I.Q. recruit. He wrote the book, "McNamara's Folley: The use of Low IQ Troops in the Vietnam War". ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_J2VwFDV4-g.html

@Nomad-vv1gk 5 месяцев назад

This is a common myth. The recruits weren't "low I. Q." as the military doesn't test nor evaluate anyone's I. Q. There was a "basic battery test", to evaluate ones reading and math capabilities. It was nothing more than a form of the Basic Iowa Test taken in public schools. The problem with the test is it hadn't been changed since before WW II, this meant it was mainly geared toward an agricultural/rural educational system. Draftees from urban areas, especially the northern areas did poorly on those exams. Those were those test asking about bushels of wheat and barley as well as corn. Also the questions about "If a train leaves new York at a certain time... It tested you on things that hadn't been taught in schools since 1941. Muhammad Ali was one of those McNamara people now ruled eligible for the draft.

Oof, rough one to watch, but such a GREAT one. R. Lee Ermey (the Drill Sergeant) was originally just hired as an advisor, the murderer in the chopper was supposed to play the Drill Sergeant. But Ermey was a real former Marine, served in Vietnam, and a real Gunnery Sergeant. He was just so damn authentic they put him in the role, most of (if not all) of those insults were ad-lib'd by him, from experience.

@MotoNomad350 5 месяцев назад

None of these Marines would have been drafted. At the times depicted in this film (Tet Offensive and before), the Marine Corps had not yet resorted to the draft to fill its recruiting quotas. The Army, yes, but the Corps, no. That would start later in 1968 but still the majority of Marines over the course of the war were volunteers.

@tenjed4224 5 месяцев назад

A psychological war movie. But, I realized 30 or so years ago, most war movies have been heavily psychological movies. We just saw the action. Even Patton was such a movie, from George C Scott, as Gen Patton walking up to speak, at the beginning through his interactions with those deemed by the military as too scarred to fight. Ptsd is real and was recognized in most military films throughout the years, with some of the greatest actors.

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.

War IS politics, it doesn't have politics attached to it, and it cannot be separated from politics. Any good war movie cannot avoid it, especially an anti war movie. War is started by politics, it is for a political aim and it ends with politics. Every military objective is a political act to force the other side to believe the war is not worth winning and concede to your political demands, whatever those may be for that specific war.

I am a former Russian marine(2009-2010), when we came to our military unit (we don’t have officers who greet you, but old-timers, since we have compulsory military service, they recruit newcomers in the spring and autumn, for a year, and when you come to the unit, there are those those who have already been there for half a year, and those who have been there for almost a year and are soon going home, that’s why all these scenes are like the initial one - we are not with those who work there, but with those who have already gone through all hell and want to introduce you to it) they didn’t shout at us too much, they didn’t insult us, that happened too, but not so much . however, we are standing in the same formation, a huge soldier who is leaving home in a month stopped near the guy standing next to me, looked at his legs and asked, “Don’t you understand what the problem is?” , they answered him “no, I don’t understand” (his legs stood in the form of II and should have been in the form of V, with his heels together), to which this soldier kicked him in the chest with his foot, he flew to the wall, and then they explained to him that your feet need to be positioned differently...) then it was scary and very tough, I’m an 18-year-old guy who had never even fought in my life, I was sure that I would die there) but no, in fact, if you stick to discipline it was quite fun there)))

One of the better reactions I've seen to this movie. So many don't even crack a smile during the Paris Island half of the movie and I can't fathom that given the inventive insults that R Lee Ermey came up with in those scenes. It was as you might say a fucked up war in a fucked up time.

Hi Sam I have yet to see a Stanley Kubick movie that is Not messed up. Although I am Not a fan of Full Metal Jacket Stanley Kubick had a way of tapping into the Darkest parts in a human's mind and it's like a mind (bleep) . Your reactions and comments did add more to enjoy than just the movie and I do appreciate that a lot . I am a Huge fan of Vincent D'Onofrio , Adam Baldwin( Animal Mother) , and Matthew Modine which is why I have watched Full Metal Jacket and in the beginning at boot camp the Sargent's insults at times makes me laugh. Thank you Sam for this and I am glad you are back doing reactions .

I went thru Parris Island in ‘79, Bootcamp was still very much like it was portrayed in this movie. Drill instructors were masters of finding a recruits raw nerve and drilling on it nonstop. While they technically weren’t suppose to physically abuse recruits, back then it was more of a suggestion than a rule, and nearly every one in our platoon was smacked upside the head at one time or another. People were convinced that Marine recruit training brainwashed recruits and turned them into killing machines but that was nowhere near the truth, The mental torture taught you how to drown out stress, the physical abuse taught you that pain is temporary and there are consequences to mistakes , and the mass punishment for an individuals infractions actually brought us together as one. It planted a seed in you that you never wanted to be the cause of your brothers misery, and if it happened once, you damn sure wouldn’t allow yourself to be the cause again. The scene in this movie that really rang true was when Animal mother refused to leave his wounded brothers behind. Earlier he hurled a racial slur at Eightball, but ran to his aid without a second thought. When a group of men suffer and depend on each other to this extent you build a bond that is stronger than biological brothers. And it never goes away.

Hey OGB! You gotta try a reaction to Chinatown from 1974 with Faye Dunaway and Jack Nicholson. The Writers Guild - that is, people who write movies for a living - always vote it in the top 3 scripts of all time with Casablanca and The Godfather. It was Roman Polanski's first American Film after the Manson gang murdered his wife and it's a film that challenges you in every possible way. There are a lot of reactions to it on You Tube but we need yours!😮

Stanley Kubrick is one of my favorite directors. You can count on him when it comes to anti-war movies. Some are realistic like "Paths of Glory" (WWI in France) or "Full Metal Jacket", and of course there's his amazing satiric movie about the specter of nuclear war caused by insane, power hungry politicians and generals; "Dr. Strangelove".

8:46 Even in the 900 division I was in (which people think is easier but is actually harder) you got 'beat' at Navy Boot Camp at Great Lakes. Also 'making it rain', where you exercised with 80 plus other recruits until your perspiration coated the ceiling and walls. Basically an hour or more super intense psychological and physically demanding lesson, after a long day supported by little sleep.

@denveradams4909 5 месяцев назад

Very reminiscent of my Marine Corps boot camp experience, with one exception. The Pvt. Pyle part isn't realistic. A recruit like that would have been placed in a special platoon, called "fat boy platoon". Any recruit that would hold back the main platoon training, would not be tolerated. Either they would be discharged, recycled into a new platoon or the "fat boy" platoon.

@DaVic133 5 месяцев назад

During the Vietnam War, the vast majority of people entering the Marine Corps were drafted. Someone stating the reason they entered the military to kill people would have been kicked out of the military as a psycho.

@georgesykes394 5 месяцев назад

The vast majority of Marines were not drafted! The Marnie Corps only drafted twice in what is sometimes called the 2nd Indochina War. The USMC relied heavily on Voulneters because they knew it was overall better for Morale. No Man is here against his Will! The Army is the only branch that constantly drafted during the war.

@AbbyNormL 5 месяцев назад

@@georgesykes394 Ok, I stand corrected. Delete the words ‘vast majority’. 42,600 marines were drafted in the Vietnam War. I entered the military two years after the end of the war and sometimes propaganda mixes with reality when you’re an old man. There were psych exams however and anyone that wanted to enter the military so they could legally kill people were rejected.

@georgesykes394 5 месяцев назад

@AbbyNormL I'm not doubting the mental exam as that is part of the screening process at MEPS. There has to be standards and bare minimums. But people have joined for the sole purpose of Killing and have gotten in the ranks. How they got in they knew exactly what to say and how to beat the system. However I believe Nothing is wrong with the lawful Killing of another human being as long as it's done in self defense of yourself or other's or in conflict. To protect government property in the scope of combat. There just has too many lies accepted as Truth about The Vietnam War. Please enjoy the rest of your week.

Gunnery Sargent Hartman is critical to the movie and its development. I have always felt that an actual Sr. DI would have picked up on Pyle being below average and while not letting up on him, a real Hartman would have rolled Pyle into a motivational platoon or he would have found another answer. Gunnery Sargent Hartman was too sharp to do nothing.

11:07 When Pyle takes the magazine out, you can see live rounds in it. He didn't shoot them all and the drill instructor didn't notice that, unfortunately. Not sure if he did this on more than one occasion, but he had enough to to put in his gun's magazine and fill it at least partially later on.
