Re: R. Lee Ermey
First saw the news and I thought it was another hoax.
Just watched full metal jacket last night. Best part of the movie was the boot camp half. RIP |

Re: R. Lee ErmeyQuote:
"To make Gunnery Sgt. Hartmann's performance and the recruits' reactions as convincing as possible, Matthew Modine, Vincent D'Onofrio, and the other actors playing recruits never met R. Lee Ermey prior to filming. Stanley Kubrick also saw to it that Ermey didn't fraternize with the actors between takes. |

Re: R. Lee Ermey
Makes you wonder how Gunny felt about this considering the opening scene...
![]() "Advertisements for this film were censored in some parts of Canada due to the tagline "In Vietnam the wind doesn't blow, it sucks." At that time, Canadian censors had not yet decided whether the phrase "it sucks" (or "this sucks") was obscene." Different world today... |

Re: R. Lee Ermey
I'd posit...60% or better of the best movies ever made, couldn't be made today.
