Line 79:
=== You call these ''Films'' in ''Live-Action''?! ===
* As the picture and page quote show, Gunnery Sergeant Hartmann from the film ''[[Full Metal Jacket]]'' (played, of course, by The Master himself, [[R. Lee Ermey]]). Subverted in the sense that R. Lee Ermey's character in ''Full Metal Jacket'' is a demonstrable ''failure'' as a drill sergeant: he entirely fails to notice one of his trainees is undergoing an obvious mental breakdown until it is too late, and then gets himself killed in a very stupid manner by trying to ''abuse and provoke even further'' the visibly twitching trainee fondling the loaded rifle... instead of simply turning around and leaving to fetch the MPs before the crazy man with the gun noticed he was there.
** R. Lee Ermey was a Drill Sergeant Nasty in
** This is the character that gave us "unscrew your head and shit down your neck." We owe the man greatly.
* Hoo boy, Cadet Captain Stone goes beyond the call of duty with this in ''Cadet Kelly''.
Line 157:
'''Algren:''' Well done, Sergeant.
'''Gant:''' Once you know the lingo, sir, everything falls into place. }}
* There are two sergeants in [[Glory]] one Irish and one black. They have differing styles; while the black one is a big-brotherly [[Sergeant Rock]] the Irish one is something of a [[Drill Sargent Nasty]. The Irishman, though he seems to have quite realistic [[Noble Bigot|traces of racism]] is mostly a good soldier who has fixed beliefs about how to train recruits which he would apply irrespective of skin color.
