brown dog Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 Full Metal Jacket drill instructor R Lee Ermey dies aged 74 - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-43779357 Weirdly, re-watched Full Metal Jacket last week. Ermey's performance was what made that film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballistol Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 Sad news, he really was a Marmite character, you either loved him or hated him. Personally, I thought he was great fun to watch and apparently was quite a gentleman off camera. I really liked his lock and load series, particularly where he pitted famous weapons against each other (although I must admit I didn’t always agree with the result). One of my favourites was Lee Enfield v Springfield, where his sense of humour shone through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That bald headed Geordie Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 Enjoyed his 'man banter' and his style in films and the Lock and Load series plus Mail Call. No room for snowflakes here so move along girlies! If I could pick 2 men to have a drink with in a bar it would be him and John Wayne. Semper Fi and Get off your horse and drink your milk!
