Holy crap, I've only seen D'Onfornio as Gomer Pile and the guy from Law & Order... That guy was buff in between those two roles.
cool, thanks for link. one I did not know and was amazed at is 17.:Originally Posted by Ought Six
17. One reason filming took so long is that Ermey was in a car crash in which he broke all the ribs on one side of his body. He was sidelined for four-and-a-half months.
there was always something about Gunnery Sgt. R. Lee Ermey's performance as a drill sgt. that was "spot on" that reminded me of boot camp. Maybe it was the language.
Just a average job for Mr. Kubrick. This was how he rolled
"Ermey ended up generating 150 pages of insults, many of which found their way into the movie. About half his dialogue in the finished film is self-penned."
Being a DI himself I imagine he was fluent.
We were told to baptize our M1's in boot, I went for Charlene.
Damn, are you THAT old? :P We had to name ours (M95) and if we dropped it, we had to write it a poem and read it out loud, infront of the whole platoon, sometime the entire company
That is why he holds his right arm up against his body in many scenes.
Not that old, but all the sh!tbirds in the '93 airforce were stuck with ww2 webbing and rifles. We were the last team, who had them though. We were shown those nice Canadian plastic rifles and told they could be ours, if we took a tour to the Balkans, but since I was drafted, I was waiting to get out.Damn, are you THAT old? :P We had to name ours (M95) and if we dropped it, we had to write it a poem and read it out loud, infront of the whole platoon, sometime the entire company

I really wanna see that 15 minute audition video.
And the roads at Boot are marked for driving on the left. Gunny Ermey is a star - my 7 year old loves Lock n Load.
Hehe, I'm pretty sure firing an M1 is more satisfying than the plastic canadian Diemaco C7A1Not that old, but all the sh!tbirds in the '93 airforce were stuck with ww2 webbing and rifles.

Yeah, our NCO's had watched too much FMJ. I never had to write a poem though
