What cerebral failure said. True. R Lee Ermey was originally a military consultant. The actors werent taking the original drill instructor seriously enough. Ermey convinced Kubrick to let him "motivate" them. One morning the actors arrived on set, saw Ermey in his uniform, and immediately found themselves in deep shit. Alot of R Lee Ermey's lines were improv'd. He relied on his real life experience as a Marine Corps drill instructor. When he passed away in 2018 he was given a military funeral with full colors including a 21 gun salute. He is buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
The door gunner in the movie was actually supposed to be the Gunnery Sgt for the movie. Years ago he had a website up that explained why he didn't have that role. He was actually injured, as he broke some ribs and could no longer play the part. R. Lee Ermy was a military consultant and had been working with him previously to get him prepared for the role. Once he got hurt, Kubrick slid R. Lee Ermy right into the role, and he was a perfect fit.
( not to be 'that guy' - just wanted to mention this, as the comments start to really pour in ) -- The U.S.M.C. utilizes the title Drill Instructor Also, they are not privates, they have no rank, they are referred to as 'recruits' - in the field, they are not termed 'soldiers' either, they are Marines. In addition, they are not allowed to speak of themselves, in the first person, certainly around ANYone of rank. Just a few nuances, that separate the branches of military, *I thank ALL, past & present, for their dedication & service to our great country !* All Gave Some . . . Some Gave All Semper Fi 🇺🇲
How they were referred to depended SOLELY on the Battalion that they belonged to. In first and second Battalion, you were referred to as 'privates' and at third Battalion, you were referred EXCLUSIVELY as 'recruits'. At least that was how it was on Parris Island, S.C. in April of 1987.
So many classic lines from Ermy, but I love how he instantly nicknames 4 different privates in the first couple minutes of the movie, and those stick through the entire movie.
Lee Ermy was a patriot and a great guy. A good person in his life and did a lot to help veteran charities. Sadly he's gone now but this film is a fitting tribute to him and American fighting men and women. If he was my drill instructor, I'd cherish that memory.
Please stop saying "Drill Sergeant" when you mean Drill Instructor, which is the correct Marine Corps term for that job title. That's as bad as saying "basic training"" when you mean boot camp.
When I went through Marine Corps boot camp at Parris Island in the early 80’s, our drill instructors did not accompany us to the rifle range for rifle training. My guess is to avoid being potentially shot by a disgruntled recruit looking for some pay back.
Our MTI's were there, but not in charge, that was a big Master Sergeant that made it very clear if you aim your M-16 at anyone I will shoot you dead!! Then asked if that was clear enough?? Yes Sir!! That was Air Force!
They played Full Metal Jacket on my bus ride to USMC bootcamp in 2007. Ain't that cruel and unusual? lol. I was honored to have met and talked with Gunny during my time in service. RIP Gunny.
@Just Half Damn! This drill instructor is a savage! I bet you he flosses his teeth with barb wire and gargles Nevada Reaper (the hottest drink in the world) every day.
Do you know that a ghost orb flies down from the ceiling, goes by your hat and then towards the floor. At the 14: 33 mark. There was also another one long before that one somewhere near the start of your video.
No my brother, you might laugh once. Then you life would change. Until graduation day you are beneath humanity. When uou graduate you WILL live forever in the Corps. You are part of a RARE BREED.
Funny from the outside, but if you laugh in there they will fuck you up. At one point I couldn't take it, I laughed, out of nowhere a DI hand was around my throat, I was against a wall, and he was strangling my ass (literally choking to death) talking about he could have killed me out the field cuz I was being stupid. He was right.
Our Military Training Instructor was on the bus when the driver opened the door, we all thought we were walking into hell!!! It was 1976 and Full Metal Jacket is very real and No, we were not laughing!! I was in the Air Force, the MTI's were like rabid animals waiting to pounce on someone!!
My mom and dad were both in the Corps, *back in the 80s* we toured PI *parris island* twice, i spent a good chunk of my childhood on that base, i still consider myself a military brat lol #semperfi ❤️
I did have a Drill Sergeant like him. USMC MoS 0372 2nd Recon Raider Battalion, formerly MoS 0321 Force Recon 1989-2010. You wouldn't be laughing too much. It would be OK if it were you that just got punished, but that's not how it works. The unit gets punished for your mistakes. Eventually the unit will get sick of doing burpees because of you and wipe that smile off your face
This a story about the Marines and the Viet Nam war. It's a largely true account. R. Lee Ermy was discharged about the same time I was and became a great actor.
The funniest insult is at 5:55. I read that Stanley Kubrick had to have Ermey explain to him what a “reach-around” was. I’ll bet that was one hilarious explanation. Ermey’s Marine Drill Instructor insult game was next level.
My favorite is his whole opening insult at Pyle. "Did your parents have any children that lived? I bet they regret that" is such a fucking brutal insult. The modern art masterpiece line is funny as hell, of course, but those first two lines are as harsh as it gets.
Love this reaction. But, NO, you would not "love" a Marine Drill Instructor kicking your ass in that environment. He ain't alone and you are beyond isolated.
My brother was there in country, he and his buddies were helicopter mechanic's and damn good at it, My brother witnessed one of his buddies and the helo he was working on blow sky high when a mortar hit that revetment!! Thank God my brother was not harmed physically!!! We both served, him in the Army, me in the Air Force, we both discharged as Staff Sergeants, but my brother was more bad ass than I he is a hero in my eyes!! His Drill Sergeants prepared him well!
Met R Lee Ermey at the Ft. Bliss PX when he was doing a appearance for the MWR. He’s short but the dude was a real Marine badass. I also liked him in Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Don't fret the Haters Bro, As my Grandad would say "Some people would complain if you hung them with a new rope!" LOL Be you man! And as for the Drills? Bro! That's how I remember it.
I heard the reason they do the flags is because some drill instructors would go on a power trip and beat up recruits for no reason. There is a fine line between being hard vs being cruel.
I'd rather have Gunnery SGT. Hartman as my DI vs a trio of DI's in my face screaming at me and all three of them telling me to do something different any day.
The training that I went through in ports Oklahoma in 1996 95 or was it was kind of like that because they didn't discriminate against anybody I had a two black drill sergeants and a white one and I was kind of dumb like pile I couldn't March I couldn't do the rifle coordination but I can fire and hit the target under fire perfectly they gave me the expert thing because my drill Sergeant Redding in my foxhole qualifying he one of the take I guess he had like a antenna and he would hit me in the head in the Kevlar helmet every time pop up Target will come up and it was weird because it was national guard training army basic and this kid Heath came from a military school in Maryland or whatever and he was a bully from day one to other people we had our there was only somebody that wanted to fight you but I still like the fact that if we had to go to war everybody quickly realizes that you better take brotherhood regardless of your skin color are you going to die that's when we need to do now
appreciate that and yeah I do listen to my family. And if you’re referring to yourself then, I asked you several times in the comments what song from O girl you wanted. You never replied, but I always see you commenting. I appreciate the time you did spend here with me. Peace and blessings!

Sarge was a real Drill Sargeant, he was hired as a consultant, and Kubrick put him in the movie
Drill Instructor *.
all unscripted
He came down to the set yelling at people and got his role...legend, RIP gunny Reamy!
And promoted to gunny past his military service
Ahhh, the good old days!

At the end of bootcamp, you know you would go back and talk and laugh about everything he said... He had me rolling his entire time in the film 😂😂
He was a real Marine Drill Instructor in the 1960's everything he said was somehow taught to all of the DIs Part super jerk and comic rolled into one
That Reach Around insult is the funniest. Word is, that Ermey had to explain to Director Stanley Kubrick what a ‘reach around’ was. - LMAO
So many classic lines from Ermy, but I love how he instantly nicknames 4 different privates in the first couple minutes of the movie, and those stick through the entire movie.

Fun fact Gunny was a real Drill Sargent and was the army man from Toy story
Drill Instructor*
Never knew about the toy soldier oart😮
Please stop saying "Drill Sergeant" when you mean Drill Instructor, which is the correct Marine Corps term for that job title. That's as bad as saying "basic training"" when you mean boot camp.
Every boy needs basic basic training
Emery was legendary in this film
R.I.P. Gunny

As any Drill Instructor deserves.
thank you for your service
@@luckyconquerortv5748 Why the fuck would you thank someone who just admitted to being an evil scumbag?
Our MTI's were there, but not in charge, that was a big Master Sergeant that made it very clear if you aim your M-16 at anyone I will shoot you dead!! Then asked if that was clear enough?? Yes Sir!! That was Air Force!
*Sees R. Lee Ermey closing in on Private Pyle*
“And so it begins…”
Marine Corps boot camp. The most miserable/funniest time in my life.
They played Full Metal Jacket on my bus ride to USMC bootcamp in 2007. Ain't that cruel and unusual? lol. I was honored to have met and talked with Gunny during my time in service. RIP Gunny.
thank you for your service
Anti-war movie on the way to the boot camp, that's pretty ironic.
Definitely watch the entire movie! The whole thing is great
@Just Half Damn! This drill instructor is a savage! I bet you he flosses his teeth with barb wire and gargles Nevada Reaper (the hottest drink in the world) every day.
Doubtful.
R. Lee Ermey passed in 2018!! I understand he knew Jesus, I'll bet he instructs all of us on our demeanor in heaven!!!
@@GM8101PHX Amen!
All the insults were improv. R.Lee Ermey not being in a roast battle was a big missed opportunity.😂

Most people mistake this film for comedy...for those of us who served, there was nothing funny about it.
It's undeniable that Ermey's lines are fucking hilarious. But I noticed that marine reactors having their PTSD coming out while watching that.
Funny from the outside, but if you laugh in there they will fuck you up. At one point I couldn't take it, I laughed, out of nowhere a DI hand was around my throat, I was against a wall, and he was strangling my ass (literally choking to death) talking about he could have killed me out the field cuz I was being stupid. He was right.
I got choked for having the sling on wrong at the rifle range... and one time the PMI bit my ear for having it on wrong...
Marines don't have "Drill Sgts", they are called "Drill Instructors".
When I went to bootcamp in 1989 drill instructors were still calling women mary jane rottencrouch
It’s all fun and games until you meet the DI.
Then there is -no- doubt who is in charge.
You would not be laughing.
Our Military Training Instructor was on the bus when the driver opened the door, we all thought we were walking into hell!!! It was 1976 and Full Metal Jacket is very real and No, we were not laughing!! I was in the Air Force, the MTI's were like rabid animals waiting to pounce on someone!!
I'm with you on this movie thing. Been awhile since seeing it, but let's go!!!
Dude, you missed the best line:
"What's your excuse?"
- "Sir excuse for what sir?" 😅
Well, thank you very much, can I be in charge for a while?
My mom and dad were both in the Corps, *back in the 80s* we toured PI *parris island* twice, i spent a good chunk of my childhood on that base, i still consider myself a military brat lol #semperfi ❤️
Saw this film for first time in 1988 as an enlisted in us army boot camp at ft Jackson SC. They showed it to us around the 6th week or so.
Awesome Work Bro, Thanks 👍👍👍😁😁 Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸
Your laughing is awesome
Ermey was a national treasure
Loved it 👍 thanks man.
I did have a Drill Sergeant like him.
USMC MoS 0372 2nd Recon Raider Battalion, formerly MoS 0321 Force Recon 1989-2010.
You wouldn't be laughing too much. It would be OK if it were you that just got punished, but that's not how it works. The unit gets punished for your mistakes. Eventually the unit will get sick of doing burpees because of you and wipe that smile off your face
You had a Drill SERGEANT like him that's a Marine? How?

Everyone believes in Darwin's "Survival of the Fittest" until they see it in person!
LOL, my man fell out the chair! I feel ya, that shit is too much for me, too.
I would listen to every word that DI said, because I would be real fond of staying alive in Viet Nam
My brother was there in country, he and his buddies were helicopter mechanic's and damn good at it, My brother witnessed one of his buddies and the helo he was working on blow sky high when a mortar hit that revetment!! Thank God my brother was not harmed physically!!! We both served, him in the Army, me in the Air Force, we both discharged as Staff Sergeants, but my brother was more bad ass than I he is a hero in my eyes!! His Drill Sergeants prepared him well!
If you were ever in the Marines, this movie is a comedy. There is no way you cannot laugh through the first half.
R.I.P he is. The real deal no joke.
Don't think you would be laughing.😁🇺🇸
That was funny as fuck! Ive seen this movie many times but watching it with you laughing your ass of was awesome thanks man!
Met R Lee Ermey at the Ft. Bliss PX when he was doing a appearance for the MWR. He’s short but the dude was a real Marine badass. I also liked him in Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Didn't know you was solo homie.. right on
I love your channel bro!! And this was funny as shit!! 🤣🤣
Don't fret the Haters Bro, As my Grandad would say "Some people would complain if you hung them with a new rope!" LOL Be you man! And as for the Drills? Bro! That's how I remember it.
Real shit though they'd have kicked my ass out of the Marines for pissing myself laughing every damn day if Hartman was my drill instructor.
Yeah things have changed big time.
Let’s go Bulls!
He ad libbed all the stuff
Basic training these days is more like summer camp
Excellent job editing. 👏
You should react to jimmy carr rikisests jokes and peter kay missread lyrics
I heard the reason they do the flags is because some drill instructors would go on a power trip and beat up recruits for no reason. There is a fine line between being hard vs being cruel.
You heard wrong, Instructors in any of the service branches do Not put their hands on anyone! They would face a courts martial for their actions!!
I’m a friend now brother love your laughing
I first saw full metal jacket with my vet buddies and some of them were Vietnam vets. We smoked a fatty and I busted a hit laughing so hard.
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
Half,I think Tommy And Hog just reached out... dude it's getting crazy ..
You really must watch the whole movie.
Gunny is legendary, everyone in this movie was fantastic
Drill instructor
Good movie.
And hell, I would also except the beatings from Hartman and take it as NCO discipline for fuckinging as a Marine.
...First Class I am going to watch Full Metal Jacket tonight. And I'll be thinking about you falling out on your floor LYFAO
I'd rather have Gunnery SGT. Hartman as my DI vs a trio of DI's in my face screaming at me and all three of them telling me to do something different any day.
Loved the vid! Even with all the fucked up shit that goes on, you just role with it. Hell the fuck yeah!
G.i party.... 😂
Blanket Party we gave one in basic training in the Air Force in 1976!!
nice spirit orb at 14:38

You'd be laughing for about 10 minutes and you'd be corrected.
You learn to laugh on your free time not in public

Good luck to your channel you do alot of simple reaction to mainstream bs you don't listen to your people peace
