exactly. It was just funny because it was so real. And like someone said earlier, if you've been in that situation in boot camp, or even had a coach or something who talked hard and fast and said funny shite to make a point, it was just hilarious.

I heard all of that shite from my DS plus a few things Ermey never even thought of. When I watch this movie, I can look back on it and laugh my arse off. I couldn't then.

There is my fault. When I was watching it I didn't think it portrayed a realistic bootcamp, not that I have ever been but what I imagined it to be. Thats why I didn't really like the DI; he just seemed to over-the-top but if what yall are saying is true then it all makes sense.

God was here before the Marine Corps! So you can give your heart to Jesus, but your arse belongs to the Corps! Do you ladies understand?

"I'll bet you can suck a golf ball through a garden hose!"
If someone says that when you are supposed to keep a straight face, it just makes you want to laugh that much more.

I was in boot camp for the 4th of July. We could see the fireworks going on over San Diego from my squad bay. Our D.I. was walking around with his NCO sword threatening us if we DIDNT say "Ohhhh" or "Ahhhh"
"Recruit, I will freaking cut your head off if you don't appreciate this fireworks display."
One of the funniest moments of boot camp.

Not dissing Gunny, but this is my favorite exchange in the movie...
12) Colonel: Marine, what is that button on your body armour?'
Joker: A peace symbol sir.
Colonel: Where'd you get it?
Joker: I don't remember sir.
Colonel: What is that you've got written on your helmet?
Joker: "Born to Kill" sir.
Colonel: You write "Born to Kill" on you helmet, and you wear a peace button. What's that supposed to be, some kind of sick joke?
Joker: No, sir.
Colonel: Well what is it supposed to mean?
Joker: I don't know, sir.
Colonel: You don't know very much do you?
Joker: No sir.
Colonel: You better get your head and your arse wired together or I will take a giant shite on you.
Joker: Yes sir.
Colonel: Now answer my question, or you'll be standing tall before The Man.
Joker: I think I was trying to suggest something
about the duality of man sir.
Colonel: The what?
Joker: The duality of man, the Jungian thing, sir
.
Colonel: Who's side are you on, son?
Joker: Our side, sir.
Colonel: Don't you love your country?
Joker: Yes, sir.
Colonel: Well how about getting with the program? Why don't you jump on the team and c'mon in for the big win?
Joker: Yes, sir.
Colonel: Son, all I've ever asked of my Marines is for them to obey my orders as they would the word of God. We are here to help the Vietnamese because inside every asian, there is an American trying to get out. It's a hardball world, son. We've got to try to keep our heads until this peace craze blows over.
Joker: Aye aye, sir.

I too LOL very hard everytime at that part.

This peace craze!
I like in the 2nd Act when the black guy says something to Animal Mother and his IMMEDIATE RESPONSE is "all fricking n@#$#rs must fricking die".
spoilers
And then later, he is the one who refuses to leave 8-ball behind.

R. Lee Ermey was hired over the actor because he was the actual guy in real life doing it.
They brought Ermey in to train the actor, but he couldn't be imitated. So they hired Ermey.
By the way, what the frick? LINK

In spanish... Also I don't think anyone is giving the props to Vincent D'Onofrio that he deserves. He nailed the incompetent fat shite act!

This really shouldn't have to be pointed out. I know it does in this situation, but damn.
Full Metal Jacket is awesome. It is my favorite war movie and I don't even care for the second half of it. My dad was actually crying with laughter from the Drill Instructor's comments to Private Pyle.

Its an on going thing, where he says "Thank God for the Sickle Cell" and calls him Jungle Bunny and stuff like that. I think i was "must fricking hang" though.. Not sure.
Its funny because it illustrates the brotherhood of combat is stronger than any bullshite racism or pseudo-racism can be. He insulted 8-ball constantly, and 8-ball blew him off because he knew Animalmuthr would have his back and give his life for him if he had to. The bullshite of society was backshelved for the reality of war.

I don't think i ever watched the second part of it all the way through. Kinda went downhill after Emery goes down.
