Damn.

OldBoy

FMJ for the win.

Coral

I guess that was his major malfunction.

Rypro 525

By far the best part of the Texas Chainsaw remake (& Prequel)

MR Round

Always been a fan of Full Metal Jacket, Loved his Cameo in The Frighteners and thought he was the perfect fit for the Janitors dad in Scrubs

Would make it difficult to suck a golf ball through a garden hose.

RIP - Semper Fi!

GoldenJCJ

Damn! He definitely gave a legendary performance in FMJ.

Looking over his filmography I was surprised to see so much voiceover work and a few incredited performances in some good movies.

Ash Ketchum

He's great as the leader of Michael Caine's henchmen in ON DEADLY GROUND (1994), a good adversary for Seagal.

Mike86

His part in those films are honestly some of the most unsettling horror scenes ever in my opinion. Just such an intensity and creepiness to that character. Also obviously we all know him for Full Metal Jacket which is a classic performance. RIP.

Josh-da-man

Hard to believe he was only in his early 40s when he was in FMJ.

Damn.

Marines die. That's what we're here for. But the Marine Corps lives forever. And that means YOU live forever.

TheMovieman

And 74? Thought for sure he was in his 80s.

Should have gotten a best supporting actor Oscar nom for his performance in Full Metal Jacket. I am sure they nominated shit that year instead. I would look it up but it would probably just piss me off.

Checked for the hell of it, Sean Connery won for the Untouchables. nominated that year were Albert Brooks for Broadcast News, Denzel for Cry Freedom, Morgan Freeman for Street Smart & Vincent Gardinia for Moonstruck

Ah, the year Connery got his award for being old.

My dad went through Marine boot camp during Vietnam and said Ermey's performance was how his drill instructors were. Said everything up until Private Pyle kills him was how it was. He never would have been able to shoot the rifle because he wouldn't have had access to the firing pin.

Norm de Plume

Hell, I like you. You can come over to my house and fuck my sister.

Sonic

RIP A fine actor.

Outstanding R. Lee! Semper Fi.

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.

His role in FMJ is the stuff of legend, and as a horror nut I thought he was great in the TCM remake and prequel.

rexinnih

RIP. Memorable performances.

PhantomStranger

His FMJ performance is one of the best in history.

Hazel Motes

Rest easy Sarge. I hope someone had the goddamn common courtesy to give you that reach around.
