#FullMetalJacket #MatthewModine #VincentDonofrio - Zábava
Vincent and Ermy were so good that the second half of the film (Matthew sent to Vietnam) felt like an afterthought.
This would've been a brilliant 45 min short film had it just been the Pvt Pyle Arc
It was noticeably anti-climactic, it shifted into another film in it's own right. That being said and being a veteran myself that's how it is in real life. Bootcamp is like your childhood, then you go out into the real world to your ultimate duty station wherever that may be and that is your adulthood. All part of the same story of you but at the same time very much different, each a story in it's own right. He def came out of the gate hard, that was naturally a hard act 1 to follow.
I always felt that the first half of the film should’ve been padded to 90 minutes and the second half of the film would’ve made a great sequel.
Totally agree, well-said.
Two movies in one!
I spent two years in Vietnam and I visited Da Nang where the 5th Marines were and saw what it was like there. This is one of the "few" films that captured the true essence of that madness.
God Bless you..
Thank you for you Service.

My dad was a marine corps 1811 Tank Crewman with 3rd Tank Battalion and was at Da Nang. He was just happy to see his tank and at the beginning portion of the Da Nang scenes.
I opposed the war, avoided the draft with a college deferment and a high lottery number. But I have always had nothing but the greatest respect for those that served in uniform there.
Neil, thank you for your service.
@@b.wright1597 Too bad republicans turn their back on vets. Trump hated them.
@@dabearcub sure
D'Onofrio one of my top 5 favorite actors, he's great. IMO
Same here, brilliant actor indeed.
great as the Alien in Men in Black.
Law and Order Criminal Intent the best cop show ever!
You need to get out more. He has played the great Welles in a short film, Five Minutes, Mr Welles (2005). Check actors IMDb pages: All Filmography for complete lists of their work.
Boy Thor sure has let himself go
I personally thought R Lee Ermey stole all the thunder in this film.
How interesting I think R Lee Ermey praised pyle and said he made the show. Also I thought kubrick wanted anthony michael hall as joker but he had...issues? Mathew modine did a great job.
Yes he did movie was not nearly as good after basic
Animal Mother was also great in the second half of the movie.
NO....It was the Me So Horny Girl!!!
No.... It was the guy who said no boom boom with soul brother.
Full Metal Jacket wouldn't be anything without R. Lee Ermey. It's great they chose him for the role in that movie.
RIP Sir
He stole the role.
Sure it would.
they didn't , it was happenstance he was even casted
Legendary Rip
Anyone who’s been through Basic Training for any branch of service can appreciate the realism that R. Lee Emery (Gunney) brought to that role & made the movie what it is. Best part of the movie IMHO.
My brother served in the Marines and he said the same exact thing.
That IS the movie! To me the movie ends after basic, period.
Do they really ask you, if you can suck a golf ball through a garden hose? 😀
As a Vet myself I agree, the basic training was so damn accurate, the barracks, every detail. Except when I went through basic the choking yourself stuff had stopped.
FMJ is the closest Hollywood has gotten to real Parris Island boot camp yet. Mostly thanks to GySgt. R. Lee Ermey. (Me: a Parris Island graduate; USMC; 1978-1999; Retired)
D'Onofrio and Modine, two of the most talented actors to admire in the big screen, and that movie ...wow simply masterful!
This interviewer is one of the most organized, thoughtful, prefessionals I've seen. And my hat is off to the sound engineer here. good audio.
I hear that squeaking chair too. A lot!!!
It's funny how d'onofrio plays the dumb guy in the movie but in reality he's the only one that can pronounce the word "Strategist".
This made me laugh.
Who cares!
@@V8Deuce The english language, that's who.
@@jr-zo9gi Wasn't even talking to you, Jackoff
@@V8Deuce Hey! That's "Mr Jackoff" to you, Buddy!
That bathroom scene " Pyle " looked demon possessed.
it's not a bathroom it's a latrine.
It's not a latrine, it's a head. The Army and Air Force call them latrines, the Navy and Marine Corps call them heads.
@@ardentfire3956 ,
Because that's what they're called on a ship
@@davisworth5114 We Americans have trouble getting this right!
The night before they shot that scene, Vince says Kubrick told him the scene had to be big - "Lon Chaney big." Coincidentally, Vince already had rented a collection of about 30 horror movies to watch on location, many with Mr. Chaney. Vince is I'viwed here: czcams.com/video/ZF6Vp83yVLk/video.html
Still love Criminal Intent. Great show because of D' Onofrio.
Amen to that! I liked how they added depth to Goren's character, making him less cold and calculating and more sensitive and emotional. I think that began with "Suite Sorrow", and continued with his tense relationship with Nicole Wallace. After that, his mother, his brother, his true father...D'Onofrio was perfect for that character and it was great to see him perform.
@@HAL9000s3 Yes, loved the episodes with Nicole Wallace so I was a bit disappointed about how this character was eliminated from the show.
A last showdown between Goren and Wallace, that' s what I have expected.
I like Chris Noth or Jeff Goldblum as well but not the same show without D' Onofrio and Erbe.
Btw. Didn' t noticed a long time that Courtney B. Vance played in Red October the sonar navigation officer
Me too. Love Vincent donofrio
Yes!!! Me too!
He is brilliant..I could watch him all day🧡
One of the greatest movies ever made.
“ THIS IS MY RIFLE, THERE ARE MANY LIKE IT BUT THIS ONE IS MINE! “
Even after 30 years , this Marine remembers those particular lines !
Best line of that movie: "The dead know only one thing, it is better to be alive"
How about *_"You're so ugly, you can be a modern art masterpiece"._*
I was in the Marines at that time. The scenes at Parris Island were spot on, believe me. I was with one of the regiments in Vietnam (5th Marine Regiment) that went to Hue. I was hit in a different engagement before the regiment went to Hue. I found out in the Hospital that my best buddy died in Hue. It was brutal times.
Semper Fi
That's a stupid line. The dead don't know Jack shit.
@@JamesRobertSmith Exactly and Pat Tillman's brother Richard said it well about his brother killed in War.
The Tillman Story - Richard speaks about his brother

One of Matt Modine's best acting jobs in a long while: playing the role of a movie critic here.
Vincent is such a powerful presence!
I'm a veteran that experienced basic training in the 80's and the realistic acting in this had me stressed all over again especially the drill sergeant!
Yeah, but R Lee Ermey didn’t really act, right? Didn’t he used to be a drill sergant before becoming an actor?
@@heimdal8
Drill Instructor.
@@heimdal8 you are correct! I found that out after seeing the movie.
Definitely the most accurate depiction of Marine Corps Boot camp.
And the life of a GRUNT in wartime.

Yes Brother it certainly brought back memories...
Thank you for your service bud the Docs were always an intricate part of the fleet...

D'Onofrio's work in "The Cell" was so underrated. Just a brilliant performance -- as most ofhis are -- but that one gets ignored (sadly).
Tarsem Singh was an excellent visual director too. Too bad Hollywood studio screwed his work up.
If D’Onofrio is in it, odds are he is underrated in it! Such a powerful actor!
He is great as Wilson Fisk (Kingpin) in Daredevil.
Yes he nailed it.
He is great in Law and Order CI
You can watch this film and always get something new you never saw or caught before. The definition of a classic film.
Almost like resivoure dogs
When I watch the boot camp scenes, it's like I'm back in boot camp 42 years ago! Ermey made this movie and the boot camp so realistic that it was like time travel.
3 great actors Matthew Modine, Vincent Donofrio, R.I.P. R Lee Ermey
RIP Lee Ermey and Bonaparte Napoleon
R Lee Ermey is the man!!!
Joker still can’t keep his mouth shut!
Ran out of peanuts I bet... Where's Animal!?!?
I almost left but I wanted to hear the other 2 ..whom I love
Is that you John Wayne?
ha! ha1 ha!
"Private Joker...is there something you want to say?...do you have a thought that you think is so important that no one else can talk?.....If the Lord Jesus was here in person giving the sermon on the mount, do you think the twelve disciples and the Virgin Mary would tell him to shut up just so they could listen to what you had to say instead? Choke yourself!
30 YEARS DAM I FEEL OLD ! WHAT A GREAT MOVIE ...
The first part of the movie, boot camp, took me back to my experiences in 1965 and the combat scenes were what I experienced as a Navy Corpsman assigned to a Marine rifle squad.
So you were in 'Nam? You were in the, as Private Joker said, "the shit?" Did the Marines in the rifle company complain about fighting the wrong Vietnamese like in the movie? So we had the helicopters, the jets, napalm, aircraft carriers, tanks, and we still lost? I got the impression that the enemy fought in the night and we fought in the day. Is that true? And didn't the military brass know that the enemy were in their tunnels? How dumb was Westmoreland really?
Navy Corpsmen saved my life, thank you for your service to us, Delta Company, 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment 1967-1968.
I was an EW. Now that I’m a firefighter medic I should have been a corpsman.
@@brianmallen8887 from what i read, they winning the war but losing political support so they have to withdraw and let the south vietnam army fend for themselves.. maybe i'm wrong..
@@oddedd7755 Well neither of us were there so what do we know? I don't think there's any easy answers. However, I think there's some truth to what you said and a lot of truth to what I said. I think it's indisputable that the VC and NVA were tough little fighters. And it's hard fighting in a jungle that's not an island. And look at a map of Vietnam and know some political history. Laos, Cambodia, and China all border Vietnam and all were communist in the 60's & 70's. The U.S. woulda had to invade the north to even have a chance to win, which we never did. Yeah we bombed the shit out of it but that didn't do shit, cause the enemy had this supply line called The Ho Chi Minh Trail that we couldn't break. And even if we did "capture" north Vietnam it's absurd to think the communist Chinese would just sit by and leave the Democratic U.S. poised at their southern border. ( with their 10 million man army) And the NVA and VC were getting all their military hardware from the communist Soviet Union, our cold-war adversary. President Lyndon Johnson was an idiot who thought escalate the war and the enemy would capitulate. He underestimated the Vietnamese and their will. And the south Vietnamese, our allies, being the clever little fucks they were knew the U.S. would bear the brunt because of our love of democracy. By the time Nixon took over we were just trying to hang on to South Vietnam. But too many of our brave servicemen were dying (58,000) so Nixon sent Henry Kissenger to negotiate a peace treaty that everybody in America knew the communists would never keep to. But as a way to save face the Paris Peace Accord was signed in 1973. Two years later the north took over the south. Game over. In the U.S. male college students were not able to defer the "draft,"(lottery to see who had to fight) so that caused a shit-storm of protest. That was the source of the political unrest. By 1971 the people in America were "Vietnam who?" In a nut-shell this the best history lesson you're ever gonna get. I was a kid then but as a living witness I remember it all to well. Who's to blame? Lyndon (Great Society) Johnson was one of the dumbest presidents we've ever had. Right up there with Jimmy Carter and George W. Bush.
My 16 year old grandson and I have watched Full Metal Jacket 4 times in the last 2 years and LOVE IT ... Thanks guys what a great movie
As a second generation Marine and Nam Vet, Chu Lai 68-69 1st MAW MAG 12, I found the Boot Camp part of the movie pretty much how Boot Camp was, except we we beat on more than the recruits in the movie. That and we had 3 other DIs, that were always involved with us. Also, that part of the movie and the Vietnamese hooker part, is all I watch of it.
"I am in a world of shit" best line
How about "Did your parents have any children that lived? But it's all good stuff. I watch FMJ every month or so.
Easy, Leonard.
“WHAT is your major malfunction”
Gustav Hasford who wrote the Short-Timers (1979), which FMJ was based from, also wrote the sequel called "The Phantom Blooper" in 1990 - this novel followed Joker's journey through Vietnam after the battle of Hue - Absolutely a must read, if you want to learn more about or get into Joker's psyche. Hasford was going to make it a trilogy but unfortunately died before it was completed. An interesting note was that The Short-Timers was a semi-autobiographical account of Hasford's experiences as a Marine Combat Correspondent in Vietnam. He was awarded the Navy/Marine Corps. Achievement Medal with Valor Device for his actions during the horrific Battle of Hue City in 1968. Semper Fi ~ Thank you to all of our Vietnam Vets....
I read Short Timers I will check out TPH. Thanks
Look for Vincent D'Onofrio, as Thor, in Adventures in Babysitting with Elisabeth Shue. Very very young Vincent.
Ho.Li.Schitt!
😄
He was good in that lol
Really?? I never even noticed. I think you're right. Crazy
Full metal jacket and Adventures in babysitting were both done in 1987. Incredible body transformation.
Vincent's like "STRATEGIST! Damn, Matthew, spit it out"!
I just watched the most amazing tribute to R. Lee Armey, "Gunny". Full Metal Jacket was a film that certainly that impacted my life.
I saw it also, shortly after he passed away. An absolutely phenomenal (and at times hilarious) reflection and tribute to a true Marine. Those of you you who haven't yet seen it really need to - it's here on YT, available to all but the most inept Private Pyles who can utilize proper Search Terms. Warning and Spoiler: You WILL Laugh, and You WILL Cry; but as Mary Poppins would say, That's as it should be.
@@CYBERVISIONSdotCom Whats the name of the tribute clip?
Vinny is such a good actor.
you cal,l him vinny like you know the asshole
On of his best performance was a doomed man in Homicide Life on the Street
This movie was a spin off of the The Boys In Company C. A must watch to the fans of FMJ.
That is where it all began.
Grew up watching FMJ, and then Law and Order. Just watched D’Onofrio play Kingpin aka Wilson Fisk in Daredevil. He’s great in all of these.
Yes he is severely underrated and should get more roles imo. Maybe he needs a better agent or maybe he is content with what he has.
private pyle was awesome in this movie.. great character.. kubrick's was masterful with FMJ..
For all his movies for sure!
RIP Leon Vitali & Stanley Kubrick. 🙏🙏🙏
David Lee Roth looks great!
i thought it was rex brown
I thought it was some homeless guy they were being nice to.
Yeah, eating right, lots of rest and exercise, and an eight-ball a day will do that for a fella.
was thinking the same thing hahaha just a gigalo
Lmfao
I guess i was too young to know that was Vincent was Pyle but now it shows how Good he is.
that blanket party changed him so much he went into law and order
That blanket party scene was VICIOUS. It fucked me up for a few days. I was 10 when I first saw it.
Army Infantry boot camp at Fort Benning was kind of nuts at times, all of my drill sergeants were combat veterans - (Grenada, Panama, Gulf War, Somalia).🇺🇸👍
Ft Benning still has School of America's but changed the name
And...?
I really appreciate the professionalism these men displayed during this interview. Each contributing without one-using each other. Each listening intently to each others comments. Great movie! I did wish the Character played by Vincent had not ended os early in the movie. I think his character had a lot of potential later in the film.
Reminded me of my time in Basic Training in the Army way back in 1960. My Platoon Sergeant was tough as nails. He had fought in Korea and the very end of WWII. He would smack you with his Baton on your helmet liner when you least expected it. After we finished Basic and was packed and I was leaving the Barracks and the Company compound for the last time, on my way to my advanced training base, I noticed him setting on the steps at the door. Obviously he was bidding everybody goodbye and good luck and shaking hands etc.
I decided I would walk slowly down the steps and ignore him, which I did . I wanted him to know I was now very tough! LOL. I have thought of him from time-to-rime and wished I had thanked him.
How many are glad that Vincent D'Onofrio is "okay"?
33 years ago. Jeez, I'm old.
FMJ would've been forgotten if the late, great R. Lee Ermey had not been cast. He made the movie the classic that it is. Right?
Not forgotten, no. Firstly it was a great script, and secondly we don't know who would have played him if Emery hadn't.
He played a perfect role but it was only a small part of the story. Gomer Pyle sealed the first portion of the film.
Yup. After boot camp the movie is an, at best, average Vietnam War film.
Yeah, it had nothing to do with Stanley Kubrick, the script or these three men.
@@scottinbristol sure we do, it was the guy who ended up as the door gunner.
I can see Vincent D'Onofrio playing Orson Welles in a future movie. 😅
What millennial will watch such a movie ... about someone great man who died before their father was born ?
He should... 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
@@chrave1956 The same millennials that would watch "To Kill a Mockingbird". I.E. the ones I don't give a shit about! Why does everybody gotta have F-ing label!? See it or don't see it. I wouldn't care if they were green and six year old. If they got two legs and twelve-fitty they got my blessing.😁
And I did spell year and fitty wrong on purpose.
He did. Watch Ed Wood
Vincent played Orson Wells in the comedy Ed Wood (But they dubbed his voice unfortunately) and he made a short film in 2004 called, "5 Minutes Mr. Welles. " You can watch it on CZcams! - czcams.com/video/s-4PPr3r_r0/video.html
The boot camp scenes are so accurate, I relive the ups and downs each time I see the flick. (About 100 times) and yes folks, we were frequently smacked, punched, slapped etc. good times. Semper Fi
Vincent is like wine and looks better with age. Such an intense and interesting man.
Its great to see these two together. I read an article about an interview with Modine that Vincent and him did not get along during production of the film.
Two legends and a method head walk into a studio...
RIP R. Lee Ermey. Such an iconic character. It would have been great to have him for this
I was at MCRD in ‘67 when Ermey was there, according to one account. Man, glad I missed having him as one of our DIs.
I was thrilled when this film was released on 4K Blu Ray to be part of my collection.
I saw this movie on my break between Basic Training and AIT at Fort Leonard Wood, MO. Loved it then and still love it today
The way Stanley Kubrick was directing was so unique that even today only a few come just close to him but not on the same level Kubrick was. The way he produced the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey even today is so outstanding and unique no other SciFi movie that was produced after comes anywhere close to this masterpiece. The only other director i admire for making SciFi movies is Ridley Scott.
Man, D'Onofrio killed it as The Kingpin
Full Metal Jacket wouldn't be the war classic that it is if they had not cast The Gunny. God bless you Gunny 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Lee Ermey absolutely made this movie. His contributions are underrated because he wasn't one of the actor click. He should be applauded anytime someone mentions the movie.
Fun Fact: R.Lee Ermey was my broadcasting school instructor Gary Keegan's Drill Instructor. We asked him if that's how he was in the movie, he said yeah that was him on a good day.
RIP Leon Vitalli, Lord Bullington was such an iconic character and performance.
Back when I was a in the Military, this movie came out 2 days before my Regiment was heading into the field for 6 - 8 weeks of training. Me and a few fellow military members loved it so much, We went to see it again the night before going on exercise. Really jacked us up. Was excellent.
I'd like to see Shupe walking behind them, carrying that log.
So happy to see Leon Vitalli in this. He has been ignored far too long.
I thought he was David Lee Roth.😂
I believe the point of the first portion of the movie in training is to show how Pyle's personality was warped by the hard training, turning him into a monstrous killer. I think the point of the second portion of the move in Vietnam was to show how they were all eventually turned into killers. In the end Pyle came out being less of a monster because he destroyed the Sargent, and himself before harming anyone else.
Thank you, so informative. great movie ........
One of those movies that never gets boring. So many great lines and great acting.
Plus all the visual cues and details, sometimes momentary.
Vincent D'Onofrio was great as Wilson Fisk in Daredevil!
A timeless classic 👍
5:54 Love the reference to Lon Chaney, the man of a thousand faces. Lon Chaney could convey emotions so dramatically with just his face. Incredible actor!
When I first saw FMJ years ago I loved the first half of the movie but didn't like the Vietnam part. Over the years after watching it 30 times I love the whole movie. All fans of FMJ should read "The Short Timers" the short book FMJ was based on. You can read it online free if you look hard enough
My favorite movie it is so close to what l went through.
Brilliant interview
I was in basic training in the spring of 1968. The Tet Offensive had been going on for a couple of months. They had just passed a rule that DI's weren't allowed to hit or touch you anymore. The timeline of Full Metal Jacket would have been 1967 because they were in Danang when Tet started in early '68. So, the scenes where the DI hit the recruit would have been allowed back then. They could call you anything. We were commonly called "Whale Shit" and asked where Whale Shit was found. The correct answer was, "Sir, at the bottom on the ocean sir"! The DI would then say, that's how low you are boy. There were also F-bombs in every sentence, They toned it down for the movie. Thus far, it's been the most realistic military movie I've seen about the 1960's and the Vietnam War era. The DI's wore Smokey the Bear hats, got an inch away from your face and screamed at you at the top of their lungs calling you every name in the books. Race was no 'sacred cow'. Everybody was picked on equally and called every name in the book... and then some.
If they ever make a film over Theodore Roosevelt, Vincent D'Onofrio would be perfect to play the role. They both have a self-assured, masculine energy that is confident and cool.
One of my all time favorite movies and my favorite (along with SPR) war movie.
Look at Vincent’s beautiful hands, nails, and skin tone. That’s called maintenance.
Isnt that what everyone does tho?
Leon Vitali played Red Cloak in Eyes Wide Shut. (Very recognisable voice.)
Yes ...
What is a jelly donut doing in your foot locker Private Pyle?!! 😀
holy jesus what in the fuck is this?!?
youd think that anyone with half a brain and a drill sergeant like that, that dude forgot to lock his shit up on purpose
Netflix documentary film worker was so unbelievably good. There's where i learned if the great Leon Vitali.
Such an amazing movie and his role in it was absolutely crucial. To play the villain can not be easy.
doesn't Vincent resemble Richard "ice man" Kuklinski?
He could play him very well in a movie tho, the Richard Kuklinski movie was good but dude playing him didn't looked like Richard at all.
Hopefully they do a Remake he would be perfect
He should have been cast for “Iceman.”
Excellent interview!
Man, Vincent is looking Badass in the interview.
That facial hair is nothing short of epic
They didn't show me their war face. 😥
An Effing BRILLIANT Performance, by donofrio!
Unbelievable!
My friend and i acted out that bathroom scene and recorded ourselves, she was private pile and stuffed her belly with a tshirt to look “fat” we had a blast doing it. 17 years later it’s hilarious looking back at it now😂
One of the best movies in that category hands down
Saw it a few days before I shipped for BCT in 1987. I kept waiting for drill sergeants to punch me in the stomach🤔
Well it happened in our platoon punched in the chest in receiving !!
This is one of my 3 favorite Viet Nam movies. The others being Platoon and Hamburger Hill. I can't believe it's been almost 40 years now (in 2024). Where has the time gone?
brilliant , moving film
D'Onofrio is great in everything but i think my favorite scene of is the big daredevil moment at the end of season two when Murdock goes to confront Fisk in prison and Fisk gives that fantastic monologue while mauling Murdock like a bear.
R Lee Ermey made this movie great. Once he was into it you couldn,t leave without watching it all.
Great movie!
gives me goose bumps as i worked at bassingbourn bks used in the running scene,right past the mt and hq where i worked but filmed before my time
I love hearing D'Onofrio parse out the construction of the famous 'Kubrick Look'...
His Kingpin was So good. As has been most everything he has done.
I Really liked him as Kingpin
I remember seeing this movie at a theater when it was released in 1987 as a kid w/ my grandfather (WW2 vet) & my Uncle (Vietnam Vet) & his son, my cousin who was about the same age as me (11).
After the movie, my Cousin & I were in complete shock of had we had just witnessed. My Grandfather seemed unfazed muttering something about how 'they overdid it' while my Uncle said nothing but seemed to have a strange sense of satisfaction across his face.
Top 5 movie of alltime. I can watch it anytime its on.
This movie was crazy good!!! 😎👍🏽
Watching it I thought it was,, telling the truth about what was going on...
