      i think my favourite story is that he'd only been hired as a technical consultant, and got cast after he did a demo of what the actor should do in the bootcamp scenes with a healthy dose of improvisation. He also did a heckof a lot supporting troops throughouthis post military career which, regardless of your opinions of the military, is an inspiring level of loyalty.

      Just climbing into one of those things for a ride along is quite dangerous, as they're made for performance, not safety.
      As far as ground combat skills, theres not much a downed pilot can do with the side arm they give them. Their best bet for survival is to surrender ASAP.

    R. Lee Ermey👍. You made “Full Metal Jacket “ into a cult classic. God Bless you Sir and rest in peace. You did your part to show we Marines are who and what we are. 😊❤️🇺🇸 Semper Fidelis (Always Faithful) our Brother ❤️

      Its not a cult classic, its well understood to be a masterpiece of the genre. Cult classic refers to a film that is looked down upon by the masses for its poor quality that eventually attracts a small amount of people that love it.
