@gagsterde Yes, it was filmed on the old Beckton Gasworks site in east London as they were demolishing it. They eventually built a university and a housing estate on the site.
No movie captured the personality of real soldiers better than this one. Even "Black Hawk Down" made them too soft and melodramatic. My grandfather served in Vietnam ( light infantry) and two of my brothers are infantry guys. They act just like these guys. In my opinion this is the most accurate portrayal of the american soldier that has ever come from Hollywood.
I just found out that I made top comment on a video today, I came str8 here tell everybody that my word is the bird on a video FUCK YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@devildogLS I think about both cuz i love both FMJ and Family Guy. But i love how they used the song in FMJ in that scene with all the destruction. That was fucken badass!!!
@RideMyBMW They're actually Westland Wessex's rather than Sikorsky H-34's, basicly same bird but with 2 turbine rather than radial engines but the marines certainly used Sikorsky's in nam, weren't all Huey's back then
this is 1 of my favourite scenes from this movies just the way he wastes the vietcong and smiles then the song comes on it's fukin class . the movies is unreal it is one of the best vietnam and war movies ever !
@OisinMcElroy because its based on a real life story and isnt glorified thats why its such a success read the book the Short Timers trust me youl love it even more than the movie
sorry, but I heard this song in Family Guy first, and I couldn't stop laughing when it appeared in Full Metal Jacket. I had no idea that this is an actual song - including the 'bllblblbelblebllbllb uma ma mau mama u ma ma mau' part
@eisenkreuzmusik Still, it's amazing how they could film it back in the 80s. It doesn't even look like an 80s film to me. Besides, they still most likely had a lot of set building to do. The light-up signs on top of the buildings, Da Nang Marine Corps Base, and 60s era Da Nang City itself? You have to admit that it's pure art. It doesn't even look like a dock in London Lol

I read that the heavily bandaged soldier walking across scene at 1:09 is a "ghost" Kubrick put in a sign of a shift in the film.
Check out the strange unearthly sound on the song at this moment .... Coincidence ? Kubrick didn't do coincidence.
Is the "ghost" a sign of the imminent death of some of the soldiers in the LustHog platoon, who up to this point are quite enjoying the battle.
The film is about to turn very dark for them when they become a sniper's targets after this pojnt.
