First half of the film is one of my favourites. The writers must have been creasing themselves coming up with some of those lines. Left it at my x's ages ago, this thread is making me want to buy another copy.
absolutly love the first half of the film at bootcamp. really lose interest in the second half though. the drill sergant is quality, is he the same actor in the texas chainsaw remake?
Apparently he made a tape for Kubrick to get the part (I think he was originally an advisor) which involved him screaming abuse for 15 minutes non-stop while being pelted with tennis balls.
I always assumed he was ad-libing a lot of what he said but after reading the book its based on (The Short Timers) he only changed/added a few things. Still one of my favorite roles tho, he was made for that part!
All about "I bet you're the kind of guy that would fuck a person in the ass and not even have the goddamn common courtesy to give him a reach-around"
