:rip: Damn.

Re: RIP R Lee Ermey
 

FMJ for the win.

Re: RIP R Lee Ermey
 

I guess that was his major malfunction.

Re: RIP R Lee Ermey
 

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

Re: RIP R Lee Ermey
 

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!

Re: RIP R Lee Ermey
 

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.

Re: RIP R Lee Ermey
 

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

Re: RIP R Lee Ermey
 

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.

Re: RIP R Lee Ermey
 

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

Re: RIP R Lee Ermey
 

Damn.

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

Re: RIP R Lee Ermey
 

:rip:

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

Re: RIP R Lee Ermey
 

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.

Re: RIP R Lee Ermey
 

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

Re: RIP R Lee Ermey
 

Best Supporting Actor
Sean Connery – The Untouchables as Jim Malone - Winner
Albert Brooks – Broadcast News as Aaron Altman
Morgan Freeman – Street Smart as Leo "Fast Black" Smalls, Jr.
Vincent Gardenia – Moonstruck as Cosmo Castorini
Denzel Washington – Cry Freedom as Steve Biko

Re: RIP R Lee Ermey
 

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.

Re: RIP R Lee Ermey
 

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

Re: RIP R Lee Ermey
 

RIP :rip: A fine actor.

Re: RIP R Lee Ermey
 

Outstanding R. Lee! Semper Fi. :rip:

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.

Re: RIP R Lee Ermey
 

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.

:rip:

Re: RIP R Lee Ermey
 

RIP. Memorable performances.

Re: RIP R Lee Ermey
 

His FMJ performance is one of the best in history.

Re: RIP R Lee Ermey
 

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