Full Metal Jacket is a 1987 war film directed, co-written, and produced by
Stanley Kubrick and starring Matthew Modine, R. Lee Ermey, Vincent D'Onofrio
and Adam Baldwin. The screenplay by Kubrick, Michael Herr, and Gustav Hasford
was based on Hasford's novel The Short-Timers (1979). The storyline follows a
platoon of U.S. Marines through their boot camp training in Marine Corps
Recruit Depot Parris Island, South Carolina, primarily focusing on two
privates, Joker and Pyle, who struggle under their abusive drill instructor,
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman, and the experiences of two of the platoon's Marines
in Vietnamese cities of Da Nang and Huế during the Tet Offensive of the Vietnam
War. The film's title refers to the full metal jacket bullet used by military
servicemen. The film was released in the United States on June 26, 1987.
Full Metal Jacket received critical acclaim and an Oscar nomination for Best
Adapted Screenplay for Kubrick, Herr, and Hasford. In 2001, the American Film
Institute placed it at No. 95 in their "AFI's 100 Years...100
Thrills" poll.
Matthew Modine as Private/Sergeant J. T. "Joker" Davis, a
wise-cracking young recruit. Modine kept a diary on set, which was later
adapted into a book in 2005 and eventually an interactive app in 2013.
Vincent D'Onofrio as Private Leonard "Gomer Pyle" Lawrence, an
overweight and slow-minded recruit who is the subject of Hartman's mockery.
D'Onofrio heard of the auditions for the film from Modine. Using a rented video
camera and dressed in army fatigues, D'Onofrio recorded his audition. Despite
Kubrick's saying that Pyle was "the hardest part to cast in the whole
movie", he quickly responded to D'Onofrio, telling the actor that he had
won the part. D'Onofrio was required to gain 70 pounds (32 kg).
Lee Ermey as Gunnery Sergeant Hartman, a harsh and vulgar Parris Island drill
instructor. Ermey served as a U.S. Marine drill instructor during the Vietnam
War and used this experience to ad lib much of his dialogue.
Adam Baldwin as Animal Mother, a combat-hungry machine gunner who takes pride
in killing enemy soldiers. Arnold Schwarzenegger was first considered for the
role, but he turned it down in favor of The Running Man.
Arliss Howard as Private/Sergeant Cowboy, member of the Lusthog Squad and
friend of Joker.
Kevyn Major Howard as Rafterman, combat photographer.
Dorian Harewood as Eightball, a member of the squad.
Tim Colceri as Doorgunner, a ruthless helicopter door gunner who suggests that
Joker and Rafterman write a story about him.[16] Colceri, a former Marine, was
originally slated to play Hartman, a role which ultimately fell to Ermey.
Kubrick instead gave him a smaller role as a helicopter door gunner.
Additional characters include: Peter Edmund as Private "Snowball"
Brown, one of the Parris Island recruits; Ed O'Ross as Lieutenant Walter J.
"Touchdown" Schinoski, the first platoon leader of the Lusthog Squad;
John Terry as Lieutenant Lockhart, the editor of Stars and Stripes; Kieron
Jecchinis as Crazy Earl, a member and also a former leader of the Lusthog Squad
who assumes leadership after Touchdown is killed; Jon Stafford as Doc Jay, head
medic of the Lusthog Squad and Bruce Boa as Poge Colonel, the colonel who
dresses down Joker for wearing a peace symbol on his lapel.
Ian Tyler plays Lieutenant Cleves, a Marine interviewed by Joker and Rafterman
at a Vietnamese murder site; Sal Lopez and Gary Landon Mills appear as T. H. E.
Rock and Donlon respectively, two members of the Lusthog Squad; Papillon Soo
Soo plays a Da Nang hooker and Ngoc Le appears as the Viet Cong sniper. Stanley
Kubrick and his daughter Vivian make uncredited appearances as two
photographers at a Vietnam massacre site.
