Full Metal Jacket: Difference between revisions

Line 41:

* [[Being Tortured Makes You Evil]]: Or rather {{spoiler|having a blanket party thrown on you makes you evil}}.

* [[Bigger Is Better in Bed]]: Subverted. The prostitute does not want to have sex with 8-Ball, a black Marine, at first because he is "too beaucoup."

* [[Black Comedy Rape]]: Male on female. Not actual rape but a joke about it. While in the barracks, Stork, a white Marine jokes with Payback, a black Marine, "How do you stop five black men from [[Where Da White Women At|raping a white woman]]?" Answer: "Throw them a basketball."

* [[Black Dude Dies First]]: {{spoiler|Corporal Eightball}} is the one sent to do recon and the first to be gunned down by the sniper. He's [[Genre Savvy|helplessly aware of the trope]].

Line 58:

** Said tapes were of Ermey performing his [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]] speeches while being constantly pelted with rotten oranges for fifteen minutes. He never stopped, flubbed, or repeated himself throughout the whole thing.

* [[Chewing the Scenery]]: ''"Hiiiiiiii...Jooooooookerrrrrrrr..."''

* [[Cluster F Bomb]]: The scene introducing Gunny Hartman.

* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: The scene introducing Gunny Hartman.

* [[Cold Sniper]]: The Viet Cong sniper at the end of the movie.

* [[Cool and Unusual Punishment]]: Hartman reacts to Pyle taking a jelly donut by... forcing him to eat while everyone else does pushups (he does so nearly crying... {{spoiler|but goes on to actually do that when they respond by tying him down to his bunk and beat him with bars of soap).}}

Line 134:

* [[Oh Crap]]: Hartman, upon being informed that {{spoiler|Private Pyle has a full magazine, and is locked and loaded.}}

* [[One-Scene Wonder]]: The Door Gunner and the Da Nang prostitute.

Line 144:

* [[Punctuated for Emphasis]]: Leonard does it twice, "Seven-six-two millimeter. [[Title Drop|Full. Metal. Jacket.]]" and "I * AM* ... in a world... of shit."

Line 196:

* [[War Is Hell]]: "Ain't war hell? :D" Asked by the door gunner in regards to shooting civilians, but done so in a manner that [[War Is Glorious|clearly doesn't match the question]].

* [[What Could Have Been]]: Bruce Willis was offered a role in Full Metal Jacket, but turned it down due to scheduling conflicts.
