Full Metal Jacket: The Story of How R. Lee Ermey Made Sgt. Hartman an Icon
My favorite part was when Stanley Kubrik put a tape recorder in front of Ermy, and asked him to spit out as many obscene insults as he could remember that he used on recruits when he was a DI in the USMC back in the Sixties.
When they turned on the recorder, he spit out something like a hundred and something in a row without even batting an eye! Then they had a secretary transcribed it, and they cherry picked the best ones for the script.
When they were translating the movie into Japanese for distribution in Japan, they had to get Ermy to explain to the Japanese pornographer who was doing the translation what the quote meant when he said: "I bet you're the kind of guy who would f*** a person in the a** and not even have the go****n courtesy to give him a reach-around!"
The thought of a confused Japanese pornographer hung up on that phrase just mad me laugh aloud!
“...no give leach alound!”
