You're right: Apocalypse Now isn't can't be compared to movies like The Deer Hunter because it doesn't question war itself, but the way in which it is fought. Kurtz believed the Americans could win the war with less people, but better organized and disciplined. Nonetheless, I think free2game wasn't referring to Apocalypse Now, but to Full Metal Jacket.
Been awhile since I watched Apocolypse Now, but I don't remember him being in that film, did the reporter make a mistake, or do I just need to go out and rent that movie again?
i think his first BIG main role was playing sheriff hoyt in the texas chainsaw massacre remake remake. he was fuckin awesome in that. i read that they r making a movie called leatherface 3d and im praying that ermey will return to play shreiff hoyt cuz he is an awesome charactor
He's only 66? Really? Wow, I thought he was in his 80's. I mean he was a drill instructor during the 60's, he played Sargent Hartman in "Full Metal Jacket" in the late 80's, now 23 years after "Full metal Jacket he's had two tv shows. Well it's good that he's only 66 because he'll be around for a while.
Something tells me Gordon Ramsey would crack up/burst into laughing first, etc. well before Ermey, if there was a serious/intense showdown between the two (Ermey and Ramsey). Ermey's been trained THOROUGHLY to not smile. Edge: Ermey. But good comparison.
That man is so freakin' cool. Thanks for lookin' out for our Troops, R. Lee!
i bet many ppl wants to be Marines just because of Gunny, he is a role model
I love R. Lee. He is iconic.
Good guy. We need more like him.
If there is one thing in this world that I hate, it is an unlocked footlocker ! xD
My friend has a M1 rifle that R. Lee Ermey gave him at a competition.
R.Lee Ermey what a legend!!
He's awesome
I love R Lee so much, funny guy

She forgot to mention R Lee Ermey in Full Metal Jacket.

@oldbag222 Did Apocalypse Now come out before or after The Boys In Company C which he was also in?
@kevluv93 that was just his first film role ever, thats probably why. He was one of the chopper pilots during the flight of the valkyries scene.
