I was on Quarterdeck Watch in Navy bootcamp and would have to salute and address the instructors arriving on deck. Whatever they would say we would just have to say "yes/no, Chief/Petty Officer." So this was one time: *First Class arriving* Me: *salutes* "Good Morning, Petty Officer. Seaman Recruit-.." 1st Class: "Fuck you, Watch." *Walks past* Me: "yes, Petty Officer!" *Drops salute*
@@Charlezard. Good times being the watch standard lol my RDC came to me and told me to say “halt! State your business” at the next person to walk in and wouldn’t you know it a god damn master chief walks in and I say it and he tells me in his most calm voice smiling “hydrate” lol
I like this scene. I like how Hartman actually shows a bit of respect towards Joker for no only standing up to him but also for sticking to his own religious beliefs. Remember Hartman did say “I am hard but I am fair”
Not to mention, Joker stuck to his guns despite knowing he was about to get punched. Squad leaders can't second guess themselves in the field when the bullets are flying and shit's blowing up left and right, and Hartman recognized that despite the psychological (and physical) beatdown that he was about to enact on Joker, Joker didn't back down.
@@raetekusu1 And why indeed would a civilization go as far as to send men to kill people from other civilization thousands of kilometers away under a clear predicate if their own people don't believe it? For all its failing a nation capable to breed people to stand their ground on their beliefs despite the threat of physical and financial punishment has at least made their own men something more than mere cattle.
@@raetekusu1- By Joker not bowing down in Basic Training, he sure as won't in combat. That's exactly what Sgt. Hartmann was looking for in all his recruits.
Jacob Seed I don’t think he accidentally backed up into the wall. He did that I think, so he could stand at attention (I’m assuming as a sign of respect to the new squad leader). The wall just happened to be behind him. As you can see, Private Pyle did the same thing. I’m not familiar at all with military conduct/protocol, this is just my assumption.
caseyw1286 you were close, so when you’re instructed to fall out or pretty much leave and resume what you were doing you stand at attention, take a step back and then perform about face. And then walk forward
I don't think Hartman cares whether Joker believes in the Virgin Mary or not. He wanted to see if Joker would stand up to him and stick by his decision once he had made it. It's not all about physical discipline. Drill Instructors are also looking for potential officers.
It's not very clear in the movie, but Joker ends up being a sergeant, so there you go. When his Leutenant and two senior sergeants die, he is actually the one commanding the Lusthogs.
@Frederick Wells Cowboy is the senior sergeant, the crazy dude who gets a boobytrap is the 2nd senior, and joker is the lowest ranked sergeant. At the end of the film when both those 2 have died, he is the squad leader. It's not very clear in the movie but it is in the novel.
Trump should have used that as his signature line during "The Apprentice". Come to think of it, he'll probably be able to use it on Joe Hidin' the morning after the election if all works out well...Not necessarily a Trump supporter, but definitely not a lazy, allergic to performing work LEFTIST piece of shiite...not interested in "grabastic LEFTIST drivel"
In spanish, instead of saying that he says "ahora largo, bola de mierda" (gtfo, shitball!) in contrast to "bola de nieve" (snowball) which is also hilarious
Hartman singles joker out just to have an excuse to beat him. He was on his shit list, but regardless of being on his shit list, he still showed leadership ability and courage in his response. What I like about this scene is that Hartman immediately recognized Jokers quality traits in this short but intense interaction, then immediately promoted him, with special attention to Pyle, knowing that Joker was best suited to tuter him. Hartman was a leader who's job is to make Marines, and he demonstrates exactly how to do it. Very good scene.
@@RedDiomedes It's strongly implied that Pyle was one of "McNamara's Morons," men who were mentally impaired and did not belong in the military at all, especially in combat posts. While Hartman's methods were extreme, they did work for normal men. The problem was, Pyle should not have been in the position he was placed in.
"I want that head so sanitary and squared away that the virgin Mary herself would be proud to go in there and take a dump." There's no way anyone but a Marine could have came up with that line. RIP Gunny.
I think that's one of the greatest lines in movie history. Who would ever possibly think of such a thing, yet it so perfectly illustrates for them how that better be the cleanest head anyone has ever seen.
While I agree the performance was great, it could be argued that he really wasn't "acting" since he was already a drill instructor. He was basically just acting as himself. I feel like that's why he wasn't nominated. It's as dumb reason, but it's the best I got.
Saw this as a young military man, one of my shipmates said "dude, you have got to come see this movie". I was fresh out of boot camp, and the feeling, sound, look, character....all the nuances of that boot camp environment were captured so stunningly well. I didn't know who Lee Ermey was, but only knew a real drill instructor can do that level of accuracy.
Ermey was a Drill Instructor in real life and had been hired as s technical consultant for the movie. But once Stanley Kubrick saw how realistic his portrayal of Hartman could be Ermey took over the role. The original DI Hartman ended up playing the chopper gunner “you just don’t lead ‘em so much”. RIP Lee Ermey
@@Wildcat6319 If I recall correctly, they tried to script him at first, but it didn't work out. As a result, all of his lines are improv, and they're damn good
@@Wildcat6319 Not entirely true, Ermey actually requested to Kubrick himself that he be the DI, before that, he was just a technical consultant. I guess his pitch to Kubrick convinced Kubrick enough to make him one of the film's two main stars.
@@Wasserkaktus That's not entirely true either. There's an entire documentary I just watched today with him and others laying out how he was placed into that role. Ermey concludes it was happenstance rather than him pursuing the role. He was offered the role via various back-channels, and took it as he thought it was his duty in the pursuit of realism (prior to that role he had been working as technical advisor on the film).
Lee Ermey was born to play Hartman the senior drill instructor, after bootcamp scenes were wrapped up even the scenes set in Vietnam couldn't compare with the Paris Island training as Lee Ermey 'all on his own' keeps you entertained, absolutely legendary
Correct. As much as I love the film, and I get why Kubrick focused so long on basic training, I think Hartmann, Pyle, and Joker’s story sort of overshadowed the Vietnam scenes. Like FMJ is overshadowed in Vietnam by other films, especially Platoon. In an odd way, the film was trying to point out that even men who didn’t go to Vietnam became victims of it, such as Pyle and Hartmann.
The second half of the movie unfortunately does tend to drag a bit. I mean, Pyle and Hartman pretty much stole the show during the first half. Not easy to follow up but I still get some enjoyment out of the film as a whole. My dad first showed me this movie when I was like 8. Freaked me the hell out. But I loved it and grew to love it more over time.
Joker hesitates maybe a tenth of a second before replying, because he knows this isn't gonna go well. But then he accepts that he's fucked and carries on.
Joker gets beat more than anyone in the platoon, it's why he learned so much. "The more you hate me the more you will learn" All because: "That you John Wayne? Is this me?"
When I first watched this scene, it kinda went over my head what was really happening. It took me awhile, but now I understand. Hartman wasn't trying to shove his religion down Joker's throat. If Joker said he did believe in the Virgin Mary, Hartman probably would've yelled at him for that as well. Whatever Joker's beliefs are, Hartman was testing Joker to see if he had the guts to stick to those beliefs under pressure.
No, he just didn't like him and didn't think he'd be a good Marine, so he intended to beat him further no matter what he said to try and make him quit, but now realized he had potential.
@@unitedstatesofamerica9948 It is hard to believe but Drill Instructors really do know they need to create Marines out of everyone. This is a matter of life and death, especially during war times. I understood the DIs were not bad people, they just don't have enough time to work with everyone. I remember talking to a DI in the 3rd phase and he told me he respected me for being small (115 lbs), young (just turned 17) and willing to go to war. He also told me he bet money on me in the pugil sticks battle and if I lost I would be going in to the quarterdeck. I won my battle and felt so proud he believed I would be a good Marine.
When you join the military you tell them your religion, which is displayed on your dog tags, so when you die they know which funeral rite to use. I'm assuming Joker geniunely doesn't believe in the Virgin Mary and the Drill Instructor also knows this. If Joker said he did believe in Mary then the Drill Instructor will call him a lying communist scumbag.
Reminds me of my Purple Heart Marine son, who made his superior’s laugh a time or two. He’s a total badass w/a heart of gold. What a fantastic performance by Lee Emory! A huge THANK YOU to All Veterans Everywhere! ✌️♥️🇺🇸
@@thomasgriffin552 In the '90s when I was in the Air Force it was tighty-whiteys...I remember them specifically requiring them for the physical too...if you wore anything else they'd turn you away and you'd have to do it again. I'll never forget being in a room full of dudes in their tighty-whiteys and us all being asked to crouch down with our knees fully bent and jump like frogs....I guess it was to make sure we didn't have any physical issues with our knees...but man it felt ridiculous! Lol.
I love that everything they do, per drill and ceremony, is correct. When dismissed/falling out, they take a step backward with the right foot and then go about their business. God this movie will never cease to amaze
Not just the movements, either. They're also doing callbacks correctly ("Sir yes, Sir!" vs "Sir, Aye Aye, Sir!" where the first responds to a question while the latter acknowledges an order or command, and it can get very confusing especially when the DIs are tag-teaming a recruit). I don't know how long they trained for this part of filming prior to actually filming it, but I've no doubt Gunny was responsible for most, if not all, of it being spot on.
Fun fact: whenever Ermey slaps any of the privates, that’s for real. Unaware to the actors, Stanley Kubrick gave Ermey his blessing to basically do whatever he wanted (something he only gave to one other actor) to any of the actors. And if that meant slapping or punching them, well then so be it.
Do drill instructors actually hit people? I doubt it. Thats why they are so over the top in the yelling. They use yelling to fuck with people. Not physical abuse.
@King David he was respected BECAUSE of his rank not in spite of it. back in the day, DI could get physical with recruits but there were limits. but what "me too" and lawsuits have to do with anything else..... you may want to gather your thoughts next time.
I remember a Drill Instructor just like that. I cracked up with laughter and he hauled off and doubled me over with a punch in the gut. It didn't stop me from laughing.
I was in Army basic training in 1977 in Ft. Leonard Wood. To this very day and forever, I will never forget the parable of the old bull and the young bull told to us by Drill Sgt Berry. The truth in that parable has stuck with me all these years.
@@Cameroonian Once upon a time, an old bull and a young bull shaded up and out of the flies on a hill. A bunch of heifers were grazing in the meadow below. The young bull says, “Let’s run down and breed a couple of heifers.” The old bull gets up, stretches and says, “Let’s WALK down and breed them all.”
I don't know how things are today, but 40 years ago, what seemed like mass chaos was a meticulously orchestrated enndeavor where everything had a purpose, usually unknown to the recruits. For all its faults, the military knows how to train massive amounts of people in a brief amount of time to do incredibly arduous and stressful tasks.
Well said. These guys are being prepared for WAR, and the enemy doesn´t care about your "frustration"! In the battlefield you'll face thousands of occasions in which anything you do will be wrong, and in such situations only guts and decision upon a concrete course of action can save you, if anything can. Setting apart the obvious fact that war is a tragedy and that the world would be much better if we were all like nice gentle little angels, in a world where war is a very concrete reality, drill instructor Hartman is definitely doing the best and most caring thing he can do for his men!
Dude so awesome. This made me join the Corps. I went in at the last of the drill instructor beating you. Was an experience I served many tours. I'm not religious but fuck I love this country and proud I played my part in the world establishing democracy. Eliminating threats. Giving justice
Perfection of film making. I defy any professional actor to read out these lines as well he Ermey does in this clip, I mean what pace/timing and full emotion plus check out how he does not take breath much in between lines. This scene plus the film never goes too far in violent punishment or in excessive language which most so call good directors would add to fill the talent gaps. There will never be a film to capture this subject and add a such great story also so brilliantly. Stanley Kubrick thanks.
My father back handed me for not taking the trash out after school. I saw double for a hour and my front two teeth were loose for a month. I never missed taking the trash out again. To this day! My trash is taken out on Sunday night. For Monday afternoon pick up! I sure miss that man! He's been dead 23 years and I am still scared of him. Learned to respect him! R.I.P. Father! Shawn
My father slapped my brother around a lot and would hit out a verbally abuse us over the least thing. Didn't mind what he hit us with either. Did it one time when I was 17 and that was it for me; I put him on his backside with a left hook and gave him a genuine warning that I would do far worse if needed. Like all bullies he shrivelled when backed down but never really mended his ugly ways though there was a sort of truce between us. None of us cried when he died this time last year, not kindly remembered
After all these decades I only just noticed Hartmann has a frigging police baton in his hand and switches it out to his other hand to slap Joker. Kubrick's eye for detail was insanely good.
The interesting thing is that Hartman seems to be testing Joker's resolve in this scene here, which is why he specifically singles him out. That's genuine good leadership right there
You goddamn communist heathen, you had best sound off that you love the Virgin Mary, or I'm gonna stomp your guts out! Now you do love the Virgin Mary, don’t you?
Absolutely iconic and timeless genius of a film. It just never gets old. An Oscar should have been awarded to R. Lee Ermey who has gone down in infamy as the most sadistic and respected drill instructor on screen. Rest in peace good sir. 🎥🙏🏾✝️🙏🏾✝️💐🫡
The script is pure gold!!! AMAZING!!! Every sentence, every look and movement... Brilliance at its finest!! Sadly they don't make this kind of films any more...
I don't know who needs to hear this, but Ermeys performance on The Texas Chainsaw Massacre The Beginning was incredible to me. He is a highly underrated actor. 💯
One of the great things about this is that Hartman speaks to men he respects in exactly the same way he speaks to men he doesn't respect. He really does treat them like they're all "equally worthless" including the guy whom he said could "come over to my house and fuck my sister!"
This scene does a great job showing that the Marine Corps does not give a shit about your race, religion, or ethnicity. Unity and strength (not diversity) is what we Marines value. As long as you have courage, you will be treated as an equal.
And absolutely NO cryin' at Boot Camp. Not allowed. Be seen shedding a single tear? Suspended from Boot Camp the same hour. Crying is not for Boot Camp. My Great Uncle Larry (my Mother's Uncle) was in Boot Camp. He served in World War II, and became a Jesuit priest afterwards. He retained his friendly, cheerful self even after war.
as well as Marine Corps doesn't give a shit about what are the race, religion, ethnicity of people they send to murder. Nobody cares where is the country with the lack of democracy. Can't you find it on the map? No worries, its just 10ooo miles away. we'll bring you there, you'll bring their towns into ruins. Unity, strength, democracy!
My daily life as a kid growing up with a Vietnam vet dad... Sucked... EDIT: Gunny has awesome technique to be able to slap someone in the face without knocking off their glasses...
I love how Ermey manages too look like thats the best F'in answer he has heard in weeks, while also looking like he is going to beat the ever loving crap out of SOMEone
This movie came out in the mid-80s and considering how folks are today with their eating habits I would say that Private pile doesn’t look all that obese.
I'd say the bigger part of it is not getting enough exercise. When I was growing up in the 70's we ate WTF we wanted but got enough exercise to burn it off. Far fewer fat kids back then.
Hartman: "Pvt. Joker do you believe in the Virgin Mary" "Sir Yes Sir" *throws trash can* Hartman: "Go fuck yourself, or maybe you are so retarded you forgot your own religion. It's *right there* on your dog tags"
If he would have said yes then Hartman would have tried to "reverse" him that the Virgin Mary didn't exist. Either way he was seeing if Joker "had the guts" to stand by whatever decision he made. Hartman was smart.
A brilliant film. Private Joker, as shown in that clip, was a brave soldier. He tried to help Private Pyle, in my opinion a good human being who found the drill sergeant to much to cope with. Private Pyle was probably to nice and a bit weak for the rigours of army life. + The battle scenes, in the second half of the film, were fantastic, really well done 👍

He also told me he bet money on me in the pugil sticks battle and if I lost I would be going in to the quarterdeck. I won my battle and felt so proud he believed I would be a good Marine.
When you join the military you tell them your religion, which is displayed on your dog tags, so when you die they know which funeral rite to use.
I'm assuming Joker geniunely doesn't believe in the Virgin Mary and the Drill Instructor also knows this. If Joker said he did believe in Mary then the Drill Instructor will call him a lying communist scumbag.
Reminds me of my Purple Heart Marine son, who made his superior’s laugh a time or two.
He’s a total badass w/a heart of gold.
What a fantastic performance by Lee Emory!
A huge THANK YOU to All Veterans Everywhere! ✌️♥️🇺🇸
My drill instructor once told an atheist recruit that he should just die and stop breathing God’s air, then made him lead the church in song.
Jesus H Christ, I cannot stop laughing
Lmao. Is it still like that? I feel some people would get offended by this nowadays.

I just realized that Pyle doesn't have his underwear on correctly, nice detail!
Yes, we had to wear them askew to keep the lion in the cage. Worst. Underwear. Ever.

Best line of the video... "Disappear scumbag" 1:18
Finally someone
I love that everything they do, per drill and ceremony, is correct. When dismissed/falling out, they take a step backward with the right foot and then go about their business. God this movie will never cease to amaze
Not just the movements, either. They're also doing callbacks correctly ("Sir yes, Sir!" vs "Sir, Aye Aye, Sir!" where the first responds to a question while the latter acknowledges an order or command, and it can get very confusing especially when the DIs are tag-teaming a recruit). I don't know how long they trained for this part of filming prior to actually filming it, but I've no doubt Gunny was responsible for most, if not all, of it being spot on.
Kubrick was (not ironically) military like in his attention to detail and precision.
@@DanKuhnhe was like the Field Marshal of his craft.

FULL METAL JACKET - THE CAPS-LOCK SCENE
Fun fact: whenever Ermey slaps any of the privates, that’s for real. Unaware to the actors, Stanley Kubrick gave Ermey his blessing to basically do whatever he wanted (something he only gave to one other actor) to any of the actors. And if that meant slapping or punching them, well then so be it.
Of course, when he hits Pyle in the "left or right" bit, he's hitting the brim of his hat.
This part .Joker definitely earned Hartmann’s respect here .He showed he had balls
Full Metal Jacket never gets old
Joker's face after he got slapped oh my dear Jesus help I can't breathe
His face is like that because the slap was not in the script, the actor didn't expect it. His anger is real.
wasnt a real slap lmao
“Private Snowball you’re fired!” Cracks me up every time
did... did hartman just gave private joker the pimp hand?
Yes, he did.
Do drill instructors actually hit people? I doubt it. Thats why they are so over the top in the yelling. They use yelling to fuck with people. Not physical abuse.
@@twitchosx different time, different rules.
@King David he was respected BECAUSE of his rank not in spite of it. back in the day, DI could get physical with recruits but there were limits. but what "me too" and lawsuits have to do with anything else..... you may want to gather your thoughts next time.
twitchosx lets just say theres a pretty good reason why your grandparents were well intelligent and disciplined and wise
I remember a Drill Instructor just like that. I cracked up with laughter and he hauled off and doubled me over with a punch in the gut. It didn't stop me from laughing.
Love that brief hesitation before Joker says "Sir no sir", you can just feel him going "Oh fuck" before deciding to stick to his guns
😅
I was in Army basic training in 1977 in Ft. Leonard Wood. To this very day and forever, I will never forget the parable of the old bull and the young bull told to us by Drill Sgt Berry. The truth in that parable has stuck with me all these years.
What parable is that, if you don't mind.
Walk down and fuck em all…
@@Cameroonian Once upon a time, an old bull and a young bull shaded up and out of the flies on a hill. A bunch of heifers were grazing in the meadow below. The young bull says, “Let’s run down and breed a couple of heifers.”
The old bull gets up, stretches and says, “Let’s WALK down and breed them all.”
@@SanchoPanza-m8m That makes sense. Thank you!
That's just a shitty twist on the tortoise and the hare with extra machismo for young and dumb grunts.
0:40 2022 oscars will smith slap Chris rock
More than 30 years ago and it's still a great movie today.
I don't know how things are today, but 40 years ago, what seemed like mass chaos was a meticulously orchestrated enndeavor where everything had a purpose, usually unknown to the recruits. For all its faults, the military knows how to train massive amounts of people in a brief amount of time to do incredibly arduous and stressful tasks.
Well said. These guys are being prepared for WAR, and the enemy doesn´t care about your "frustration"! In the battlefield you'll face thousands of occasions in which anything you do will be wrong, and in such situations only guts and decision upon a concrete course of action can save you, if anything can. Setting apart the obvious fact that war is a tragedy and that the world would be much better if we were all like nice gentle little angels, in a world where war is a very concrete reality, drill instructor Hartman is definitely doing the best and most caring thing he can do for his men!
"Private Joker,do You believe in the Virgin Mary?"
"Sir, no sir!"
So you have chosen... Death
Dude so awesome. This made me join the Corps. I went in at the last of the drill instructor beating you. Was an experience I served many tours. I'm not religious but fuck I love this country and proud I played my part in the world establishing democracy. Eliminating threats. Giving justice
Sure you did...
Perfection of film making. I defy any professional actor to read out these lines as well he Ermey does in this clip, I mean what pace/timing and full emotion plus check out how he does not take breath much in between lines. This scene plus the film never goes too far in violent punishment or in excessive language which most so call good directors would add to fill the talent gaps.
There will never be a film to capture this subject and add a such great story also so brilliantly.
Stanley Kubrick thanks.
At 0:47, it looks like Joker is trying to keep from laughing.
Fersomling you mean crying
This never gets old.
My father back handed me for not taking the trash out after school. I saw double for a hour and my front two teeth were loose for a month. I never missed taking the trash out again. To this day! My trash is taken out on Sunday night. For Monday afternoon pick up! I sure miss that man! He's been dead 23 years and I am still scared of him. Learned to respect him! R.I.P. Father! Shawn
My father slapped my brother around a lot and would hit out a verbally abuse us over the least thing. Didn't mind what he hit us with either. Did it one time when I was 17 and that was it for me; I put him on his backside with a left hook and gave him a genuine warning that I would do far worse if needed.
Like all bullies he shrivelled when backed down but never really mended his ugly ways though there was a sort of truce between us.
None of us cried when he died this time last year, not kindly remembered
Your father sounds like an abusive asshole tbh. Hitting someone for not taking out the trash isn't discipline, its a man with no self-control.
This was a gut check. Hartman didn't actually care if Joker believed in the Virgin Mary.
0:55 is honestly kind of sad.
That how it is
Why do you think it's unfair? He stood his ground and got promoted for it. Hartmann is, as he said at the beginning of the movie, hard but fair.
The Squad Leader
Shit ain't supposed to be happy. It's supposed to weed out the weak.
After all these decades I only just noticed Hartmann has a frigging police baton in his hand and switches it out to his other hand to slap Joker. Kubrick's eye for detail was insanely good.
"Disappear scumbag" this is pure gold
Grew up on this movie.watched it quite a few times..never get bored of it. And love seeing how a few of em went on to age in other movies.
Enjoyed it since nine when I saw it on hbo back in 91
@@Johnlindsey289 on video release for me .
The interesting thing is that Hartman seems to be testing Joker's resolve in this scene here, which is why he specifically singles him out. That's genuine good leadership right there
Hartman: "Private Joker do you believe in the virgin Mary!?"
Private Joker: "Sir no sir!"
Hartman: *THROWS TRASH CAN*
"Well private joker..... I DON'T BELIEVE I HEARD YOU CORRECTLY!"
"SIR, THE PRIVATE SAY NO SIR!"
Why you like maggot. You make me wanna vomit.
*Slaps him across the face*.
You goddamn communist heathen, you had best sound off that you love the Virgin Mary, or I'm gonna stomp your guts out! Now you do love the Virgin Mary, don’t you?
SIR NEGATIVE SIR!!!
Private Snowball cracks me up! :')
the drill sargeant respects him for standing his ground, that is a lot of the military does.
Absolutely iconic and timeless genius of a film. It just never gets old. An Oscar should have been awarded to R. Lee Ermey who has gone down in infamy as the most sadistic and respected drill instructor on screen.
Rest in peace good sir. 🎥🙏🏾✝️🙏🏾✝️💐🫡
0:29 When you say you have bad grades to your Hispanic Mom
Damn satisfied with how close this is to our real experience
R. Lee Ermy...NO ONE did it better...PERIOD.
The script is pure gold!!!
AMAZING!!! Every sentence, every look and movement... Brilliance at its finest!! Sadly they don't make this kind of films any more...
They stopped being made after Stanley Kubrick died.
They don’t make that kind of Marine anymore either, I’ve been there!!!
Herman's lines were not scripted. They were all ab libed by R Lee Ermy himself.
This movie is a critic… i wonder why old folks are so dumb
Requiescat in pace, R. Lee Ermey.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but Ermeys performance on The Texas Chainsaw Massacre The Beginning was incredible to me. He is a highly underrated actor. 💯
The most underrated line in this scene “he’ll teach you everything he’ll teach you how to pee”
Fun fact: Ermey's portrayal of Sgt Hartman was the inspiration for Soldier in TF2.
"Guts is enough" words to live by.
The lesson here is that you never back down and you take it, no matter what the pain.
I always chuckle when Private Snowball walks backwards into the pillar lol
"You Goddamn communist heathen!" best. line. ever.
Small details. Private Cowboy has flip flops and Pyle has no top, so one is fast and the other is slow in making their beds
One of the great things about this is that Hartman speaks to men he respects in exactly the same way he speaks to men he doesn't respect. He really does treat them like they're all "equally worthless" including the guy whom he said could "come over to my house and fuck my sister!"
Everyone: sir yes sir
Private snowball: *_SIR YES SIR_*
Pvt Joker showed courage and conviction in the face of fear and violence, earning the DI's respect.
Loved the boot camp scenes
0:28 When I ask them what’s their favorite video game and their answer is Fortnite...
Straight cancer
KICK THEIR ASS
You just have a trash can with you at the ready for that
Love how that other guy just stands there even though it's not about him. He knows he'll get it if he moves without being dismissed.
does anyone else find the slap funny?
very.
mr Anderson.. are you still here? the matrix is watching you
Pure 70's disco bitch slap lol
Almost as funny as when Hartman tells snowball, "Disappear, scumbag"
yes i fell off my bed just laughing my a$$ off
As a former Marine myself, most accurate portrayal of Marine Corps life ever done! 🤣😂🤣😂
This scene does a great job showing that the Marine Corps does not give a shit about your race, religion, or ethnicity. Unity and strength (not diversity) is what we Marines value. As long as you have courage, you will be treated as an equal.
And absolutely NO cryin' at Boot Camp. Not allowed. Be seen shedding a single tear? Suspended from Boot Camp the same hour. Crying is not for Boot Camp.
My Great Uncle Larry (my Mother's Uncle) was in Boot Camp. He served in World War II, and became a Jesuit priest afterwards. He retained his friendly, cheerful self even after war.
as well as Marine Corps doesn't give a shit about what are the race, religion, ethnicity of people they send to murder.
Nobody cares where is the country with the lack of democracy. Can't you find it on the map? No worries, its just 10ooo miles away. we'll bring you there, you'll bring their towns into ruins.
Unity, strength, democracy!
0:40 always makes me laugh 😂. Can somebody make a 10 hour loop or something like that just for the heck of it 😂
The way he kind of hops up when he does it and his arm shoots out like a cartoon is pretty hilarious.
Lol Matthew Modine's face after Ermey hit him.... epic.
My daily life as a kid growing up with a Vietnam vet dad...
Sucked...
EDIT: Gunny has awesome technique to be able to slap someone in the face without knocking off their glasses...
The best Joker ever, and that says a lot
RIP Gunny. I was never a Marine but my Army DI’s were so much like this that it takes me back.
"Guts is enough." Everyone who read Berserk knows that very well :)

I love how Ermey manages too look like thats the best F'in answer he has heard in weeks, while also looking like he is going to beat the ever loving crap out of SOMEone
This movie came out in the mid-80s and considering how folks are today with their eating habits I would say that Private pile doesn’t look all that obese.
the military, ESPECIALLY marine corps, army airborne and special operations have elevated standards of fitness compared to civilians
I'd say the bigger part of it is not getting enough exercise. When I was growing up in the 70's we ate WTF we wanted but got enough exercise to burn it off. Far fewer fat kids back then.
God snowballs voice cuts right through you 😂😂
Absolutely hysterical
Love it🤣❤️
but what if Joker DID claim his love for the Virgin Mary? Was Hartman aware of Jokers religious beliefs?
I think he was absolutely sure about the answer of Private Joker. One of my favorite scenes.
Mike Rodger you're religious background is on your dog tag so Hartman definitely knows Joker's as well as the entire squad's
Mike Rodger Probably, or maybe not. The whole point was to see if he would stand up for himself and his answer, a gut check, if you will.
Hartman: "Pvt. Joker do you believe in the Virgin Mary"
"Sir Yes Sir"
*throws trash can*
Hartman: "Go fuck yourself, or maybe you are so retarded you forgot your own religion. It's *right there* on your dog tags"
If he would have said yes then Hartman would have tried to "reverse" him that the Virgin Mary didn't exist. Either way he was seeing if Joker "had the guts" to stand by whatever decision he made. Hartman was smart.
The comic timing of that smack across the face was impeccable.
A brilliant film. Private Joker, as shown in that clip, was a brave soldier. He tried to help Private Pyle, in my opinion a good human being who found the drill sergeant to much to cope with. Private Pyle was probably to nice and a bit weak for the rigours of army life. + The battle scenes, in the second half of the film, were fantastic, really well done 👍
