Full Metal Jacket question..
 
At the end of Full Metal Jacket:

Spoiler:
Is there a female Vietnamese sniper from the top of an old building who is picking off soldiers? I remember seeing this scene in some war movie and I wasn't sure if it was Full metal jacket.


Thanks!

Yes, it was a female sniper.

Yes,I believe she is inside the building-upper floor.

1.33:1 is it's original aspect ratio. It was originally filmed full-frame.

if someone using an AK47(not the most accurate rifle out there, not horrible, but not great either) can really be called a sniper, than yes it's in FMJ

This movie is most famous for the quote:

me so horny, me love you long time

that picture there seems to be in widescreen.

Cowboy's death scene is one of my top five favorites ever! You can actually see the soul leave when Arliss Howard does that life leaking out thing with his eyes. Absolutely awesome work by all involved as well.

The chick was played by Eri Furuse, whom I am currently dating.

If I remember correctly she's actually using a Dragunov sniper rifle, which looks very similar to an AK (all Soviet rifles looked similar the AK for years) but actually is very accurate. I could be remembering wrong though, thinking she should've been using a Dragunov.

What a coincidence, I'm seeing Mathew Modine on the DL! We should double sometime.

She wasn't in FMJ, but my girlfriend, Angelina Jolie, thought it was one of Kubricks best movies.
