Recently I was writing an essay on an ancient Greek author who wrote about what motivates people to go to war and how war affects people. I thought about this film immediately. Great movie!
And in 1979 R. Lee Ermy starred in the Vietnam movie Apocalypse Now. It seems to be a little known fact, but Lee Ermy was one of the huey pilots in Apocalypse Now & the Drill Sergeant in FMJ. Very different movies about Vietnam, so they can't really be compared. Each has it's own place in film making history. And both are fucking awesome!!
Great song, great use in the movie. The guys who make Family Guy are fully aware of the song's origins, the show is chock full of pop culture references. Great use in everything it's in because it's a great song!
FULL METAL JACKET, GUITAR HERO, FAMILY GUY...WHATEVER! Doesn't matter which "vehicle" is used to hand down music from one generation to another...as long as it's carried on
i 2nd that Capacino, being a Vietnam Era vet , the freakin song came out 45 years ago in 1964. It has precious little to do with the god damned tv show
No doubt that Platoon is more accurate and so on. But it's two totally different "views" in the movies. FMJ shows more of the brainwashing of soldiers aswell as alittle of "the madness of war". Whilst Platoon is a more (much more I bet) accurate portrait of "just" the madness. So you can't really compare them other then both being Vietnam war movies. Entertainmentwise... it's a matter of mood for me. I love 'em both :)
oww cmon fmj is a bad ass vietnam fick vietnam lern Marine corp history 3 Marine battlions with ARVN support fought of 10,000 NVA in the beggining of the TET seise fire
perfect timing to put that song in that scene! I love this movie!
Quite possibly the best movie/song combination ever!! The intro to "Trainspotting" is good...but this is AWESOME!!!!
Surfin' Bird from Trashmen! I love this good old stuff!!! 1963
thank you i stumbled upon this genius a long time ago and it's doing my head in how people are doing this all the bloody time now cause of that show.
Theres no question about it, all of Kubrick's work is AWESOME!
One of the most underrated movies ever! Kubrick was a genius.

thank you your the first person ive seen who knows that.
By far one of the best scenes, you need to upload a part with the song Wooley Bully
Great song, great use in the movie. The guys who make Family Guy are fully aware of the song's origins, the show is chock full of pop culture references. Great use in everything it's in because it's a great song!
either this, or singing in the rain, in clockwork orange!
haha, that was ironic, dark, yet wonderful.
same here! heard this song in this movie 1st
FULL METAL JACKET, GUITAR HERO, FAMILY GUY...WHATEVER!

Well,all of you are right from few diferent points of view.Cheers and enjoy both song and the movie
I read that Kubrick found the AFN (Armed Forced Network) playlist for that time period and used it. AFN were the "Good Morning Vietnam" people.
it is actually. takes you by surprise a bit!
What should i say then BIRD IS THE WORD!
I agree.
"GET SOME MARINERS!!!!!!"
this is my favorite son in the world EVER!!!!
1.apocalypse now
2.saving private ryan
3.full metal jacket
4.platoon
5.letters from iwo jima
that would be so awesome
The filmin of this is susposed to be Hue City 1968 in the movie the song came out in 1963
you just cant say what is better,movie or the song..
exactly
You can't seriously compare this masterpiece to the platoon, sure its ok but Full metal jacket is movie perfection.
First - on BF:Vietnam, then in the FMJ ;)
same here
and this song WAS in the 1986 movie
This must be the most (deliberately) inappropiate song ever to be played in a scene like this.
1. Apocalypse now
2. Scanners
3. Scanners II
4. C.H.U.D.
5. Breakin 2: Electric Boogaloo!
Damn it ... I first saw it on BF:V, then on FMJ - God, have some imagination...
i 2nd that Capacino, being a Vietnam Era vet , the freakin song came out 45 years ago in 1964. It has precious little to do with the god damned tv show
ace film
And the song came out in 1963
Full metal jacket was made before battle field vietnam
I still wonder they used that song...
what's the red rectangle for?
Stanley Kubrick was a genius
Yeah it is a serious war movie, it's about psychological war during the Vietnam War. Just though I'd tell you. :)
BaDaBaDaDaBaBaDaBadAaAAwwAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH
u have to see the family guy were peter sings surfin burd LOL !!!!!
'Cept Fabian.
Take it from a 3/1 marine ive been in every goat smellin shit hole for all you guitar pro playin queefs Ive seen a little Full Metal Jacket in my day
Hah, turned off annotations! :-P
....This movie came out in 1987
Family guy came in 1999.
... Is this a serious war movie, or is it suppose to parody other war movies?
Either way, I must see this movie!
the music from the 60-70-80's was much better
they also sing the mickey mouse song and i dont think this isong is acully in the movie
Hey start the cameras this is vietnam the movie!!!
Lol

language?
That's not HD.
hmm i disagree, i do not think the movie is about that.
ya rly
^^ ^^ ^^
oww cmon fmj is a bad ass vietnam fick vietnam lern Marine corp history 3 Marine battlions with ARVN support fought of 10,000 NVA in the beggining of the TET seise fire
can you do better what your personal TUBE is all about, ride it as thick as your able.
wtf!
howd they rip off family guy
Shame they had to rip off family guy to make the movie more "edgy".
Still looks like it would be a good movie though.
platoon is better then FMJ, I read FMJ isnt really that accurate and made alot of vetrans laugh at it and stuff
this movie is great but its got a shit load of language
i think that's the whole point.. pyle is a useless marine..
The movie is better. The song lyrics are too repetitive.
Kubrick owns you heathens :/
