Vicefan7777 Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 I have two brother in laws who served in Vietnam. One of them says Gunny was his drill instructor. What a great man. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Vercetti Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 I don't like the name Lawrence. Only faggots and sailors are called Lawrence. From now on you're Gomer Pyle! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro80sfan Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 (edited) Oh, man! I can't believe it! There will only ever be one "Gunny". (R. Lee Ermey R.I.P.) Another great actor and person, lost, but not forgotten. Edited April 16, 2018 by Retro80sfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miamijimf Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 (edited) Huge loss. Loved Full Metal Jacket and his TV show Mail Call. Of course he was in Vice's The Rising Sun Of Death. He was 74. In a statement posted on Twitter, Bill Rogin his long time manager said Ermey had died due to complications from pneumonia.

miamijimf Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 One of my favorite scenes from Full Metal Jacket. My best friend went through Marine Corps Boot Camp in the 60s and said watching this movie was like being there again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Vercetti Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 It's one of the best movies ever made and I think it's Staney Kubrick's best film. I think the second half of the movie in 'Nam is also fantastic and classic. Some say the film is less good after the boot camp section but I disagree. Jim, were the 'Nam scenes in the movie realistic, accurate and truthful? Despite the fact they were filmed in England. He appeared briefly in Apocalypse Now. See him @ 2.17 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzkBNmHALEw He also had a hilarious guest role on The Simpsons https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1ozfgiE5yY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most Nam scenes were very realistic and the background music was awesome. Taking back Hue from the N. Vietnamese was tough. Two small bits I didn't think were representative: the obnoxious old colonel and the sadistic helicopter door gunner shooting at everyone.
