    R. Lee Ermey's film credits include "Full Metal Jacket," "Apocalypse Now" and "Toy Story." The vicious language he unleashed in “Full Metal Jacket” was recalled from his time in boot camp and as a Marine Corps drill instructor during the Vietnam War.https://nyti.ms/2qzCr4w

        Thirty years on, "Full Metal Jacket" remains one of my favorite movies. R. Lee Ermey accounts for at least 80% of that. If one has interest, the story of how he got that part is worth a few minutes: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093058/trivia …

        An unforgettable performance. I disagreed with his real-life politics, but anyone who has seen FMJ should agree that it would not have been half the movie it was without him.

        It was set during Vietnam. Women weren’t serving as combat troops at that time.

        1. It was made 30 years ago. 2. Including women in a combat unit for the film would have been ridiculous. They didn’t fight for us in Vietnam, and it was set in Vietnam. You might as well lobby for Mickey Mouse to have been included. You’re barking up the wrong tree here.

        So, never make another war movie set pre-Desert Storm? Yeah, that sounds reasonable.

        Ermey went to director Kubrick & asked for the role of Gunnery Sgt. Hartmann. In his opinion, the actors on set were not up to snuff. When Kubrick declined, Ermey barked an order for Kubrick to stand up when he was spoken to, & the director instinctively obeyed. Ermey got role.
