    Full metal jacket is one of my top 5 films, largely due to this guy.

    " If you ladies leave my island, if you survive recruit training, you will be a weapon. You will be a minister of death praying for war. But until that day you are pukes. You are the lowest form of life on Earth. You are not even human fucking beings. You are nothing but unorganized grabastic pieces of amphibian shit!"

    Legend has it Gunny was hired as a technical director but got offered the part and rewrote the script after impressing Kubrick

    Lovely. RIP
