Private Snowball is so obedient that when ordered to "disappear, scumbag." he never appeared for the rest of the movie.

I love how he throws that trash can in absolute disgust

Always loved the line, “he’s got guts, and guts is enough”. Something to remember as we go through life.

R. Lee Emery should've won The Oscar for his performance in this. He was amazing! Completely unforgettable.

"Disappear, scumbag!" lol

"Private Joker is silly and he's ignorant but he's got guts, and guts is enough".

Hartman not only recognizes Joker’s courage but also his intelligence. What Joker is saying, is “I’ve figured out the rules of this game, Sir, and I see the trap that you’re setting for me. Respectfully, I’m not going to walk into it.”

0:28 The way he just throws the trash can less than a second after Joker said no always makes me laugh

props to Joker for being able to form a coherent sentence in a moment of pure terror

I love how the drill instructor doesn't say 'dismissed' he says 'disappear scumbag'. That was both hilarious and intimidating at the exact same time

I like this scene. I like how Hartman actually shows a bit of respect towards Joker for no only standing up to him but also for sticking to his own religious beliefs. Remember Hartman did say “I am hard but I am fair”

"Private Joker is silly and he's ignorant but he's got guts and guts is enough." Solid.

"Why, you little maggot, you make me want to vomit!" best ring tone ever.

I love how Private Snowball accidentally backs into the post as he tries to leave

This is still the most Marine Corps thing ever put to film. This scene right here. The entire "philosophy" of the Corps encapsulated in a scene. Great job cast and director. Legends.

Saw this as a young military man, one of my shipmates said "dude, you have got to come see this movie". I was fresh out of boot camp, and the feeling, sound, look, character....all the nuances of that boot camp environment were captured so stunningly well. I didn't know who Lee Ermey was, but only knew a real drill instructor can do that level of accuracy.

I love the way he says “Private Snowball, you’re fired”. It doesn’t sound one bit as mean as everything else that comes out of his mouth.

"Disappear, scumbag!" Best line

Lee Ermey was born to play Hartman the senior drill instructor, after bootcamp scenes were wrapped up even the scenes set in Vietnam couldn't compare with the Paris Island training as Lee Ermey 'all on his own' keeps you entertained, absolutely legendary

“Disappear scumbag” Brutal lmao

A film that never gets old or boring, it reveals more and more on every viewing

Well, Ermey's with the Virgin Mary now. RIP 1944 - 2018

I love how drill Sargent rewards those who figure out the entire thing is bullshit but accepts their fate anyway lol

"He's got guts and guts are enough" is the highest form of praise from your DI.

This is actually true. In basic training it is worse to reverse your initial answer, even if it's incorrect.

Every time I hear private snowball I cant stop laughing! XD

Due to his experience in the Marines as a drill instructor, R. Lee Ermey was a consultant on the realism of the military procedures depicted in Full Metal Jacket. Ermey didn’t believe that the actors hired lived up to real military standards, he made a demo tape and asked Stanley Kubrick if he would watch the tape and play Gunnery Sgt. Hartman himself. When Kubrick refused, Ermey went into drill sergeant mode and yelled an order at Kubrick to stand up when he was being spoken to, and a shocked Kubrick instinctively jumped to his feet. This earned Ermey the role.

Respect. Joker always stood by his individuality no matter the sheer fear of doing so

I don't think Hartman cares whether Joker believes in the Virgin Mary or not. He wanted to see if Joker would stand up to him and stick by his decision once he had made it. It's not all about physical discipline. Drill Instructors are also looking for potential officers.

I don't know why, but every time I see him throw that trash can I start laughing uncontrollably.

Joker gets beat more than anyone in the platoon, it's why he learned so much. "The more you hate me the more you will learn" All because: "That you John Wayne? Is this me?"

Hartman singles joker out just to have an excuse to beat him. He was on his shit list, but regardless of being on his shit list, he still showed leadership ability and courage in his response. What I like about this scene is that Hartman immediately recognized Jokers quality traits in this short but intense interaction, then immediately promoted him, with special attention to Pyle, knowing that Joker was best suited to tuter him. Hartman was a leader who's job is to make Marines, and he demonstrates exactly how to do it. Very good scene.

when a senior drill instructor says you got guts, you should be a bit proud :)

The way he throws the bin in disgust just kills me 😂😂😂

0:45 That twisted grimace always makes me chuckle lmao

Why he didn’t win an Oscar for his performance in this movie is outrageous.

"He'll teach you everything, he'll teach you how to pee" . Hilarious.

No matter which branch you serve in, this is a solid lesson : (Respectfully) Stand your ground. You will be respected for it

The trash can improvised this scene and flung itself out of R. Lee Ermey's hand

Why private snowball always sound like he about to cry? XD

joker made the right call during a very stressful situation, not only did the instructor see his courage and inteligence, but a great level of composure. All 3 qualities are essential to leadership, hence the promotion!!

I recall basic training like it was yesterday. Especially, my first day. Looking back, I wouldn't have missed it for the world and given the same circumstances, I'd do it again in a heartbeat. It's been forty-seven years and I still have nothing but the utmost respect for my DIs.

"Hes silly and hes ignorant but hes got guts, and guts is enough!" What a great line.

Do you believe in the Virgin Mary? Sir no sir *Yeets trash can in fury*

Reminds me of my Purple Heart Marine son, who made his superior’s laugh a time or two. He’s a total badass w/a heart of gold. What a fantastic performance by Lee Emory! A huge THANK YOU to All Veterans Everywhere! ✌️♥️🇺🇸

I went through basic training in 1974, Fort Jackson South Carolina. A-9-2 ( 2nd Platoon) I still see SFC Standard, and SSG Pancook in my dreams. Those men saved my life ( 20 years USArmy) .

“He’ll teach you everything. He’ll teach you how to pee!” I can’t stop laughing at that!

0:40 "Sir, the private believes that any answer he gives will be wrong, and that the senior Drill Instructor will beat him harder if he reverses himself Sir!" How many recrues in boot camp had this phrase memorized before going in just in case? Priceless! 1:33 "Private Joker is silly and he's ignorant but he's got guts, and guts is enough." I love this, Hartman has growing respect for Joker.

He's got guts and guts is enough. Beautiful.

"You little maggot! You make me want to vomit!" Gunnery Sgt R Lee Ermy. One of the best! RIP Gunny 🙏

Rest In Peace Ronald Lee Ermey 1944 - 2018 You Are Good Sargeant

Priceless, the trash can wasn't expecting to be thrown like that...

Me: *gets up from my couch* My dog: 1:23

1:41 Pyle acts like he just did his thing and it's time to go back behind the curtain (at some play or something).

"Private Snowball, you're fired!!"

"Disappear, scumbag" My new favourite line.

I remember a Drill Instructor just like that. I cracked up with laughter and he hauled off and doubled me over with a punch in the gut. It didn't stop me from laughing.

Full Metal Jacket never gets old

That's what you call a back hand slap ! I love the way the jokers glasses stayed on like nothing happened 😆

When he threw down that trash can, private Joker saw his entire life flash through his eyes!

PRIVATE JOKER ARE YOU TRYING TO OFFEND ME!!???

More than 30 years ago and it's still a great movie today.

I swear to all creation, there is simply no greater piece of cinema than the first part of FMJ. I mean you just can't make up a character like the Drill Instructor. He is so visceral and the guy playing him is not having to "put it on" in any way because this was his background in real life. Now I'm sure he may have dialed it up a notch from his real life duties but man does he make it so believable. The words he uses and how he uses them when talking to the men and dressing them down is just apex mastery.

1:11 "Ser Private Snooowbalarahgagahahsdhadgasg SER!

"He'll teach you everything, he'll teach you how to pee!" The way that line is delivered is fucking gold.

"Why, you little maggot! You make me want to vomit!" The way Hartman said that almost sounded like a tune. 🎶🤣

I always laughed at the word "silly" coming out of DI Hartman's mouth when describing Joker 😂 like it's slightly endearing lol

When I first watched this scene, it kinda went over my head what was really happening. It took me awhile, but now I understand. Hartman wasn't trying to shove his religion down Joker's throat. If Joker said he did believe in the Virgin Mary, Hartman probably would've yelled at him for that as well. Whatever Joker's beliefs are, Hartman was testing Joker to see if he had the guts to stick to those beliefs under pressure.

1:21 that “exit” made me laugh

When Sgt. Harman asked Joker to sound off that he loves the Virgin Mary, Joker's response proved his integrity.

Private Snowball's terrified and cracked out energy is always so hilarious

God Bless sergeant Hartman, he made me believe in virgin Mary

This is some scene, I went to boot camp in a different time but this scene from the little nuances Hartman does and the facial expressions and emotion Joker is showing is a very good showcase of the wave of emotions talking to DI’s and just facing tough decisions in boot camp can take you down

Perfection of film making. I defy any professional actor to read out these lines as well he Ermey does in this clip, I mean what pace/timing and full emotion plus check out how he does not take breath much in between lines. This scene plus the film never goes too far in violent punishment or in excessive language which most so call good directors would add to fill the talent gaps. There will never be a film to capture this subject and add a such great story also so brilliantly. Stanley Kubrick thanks.

So brilliantly written and acted out 👍

“He’ll teach you everything, he’ll teach you how to pee” one of the funniest things said by Gunny in the film. Rest In Peace Gunny

He'll teach you everything he'll teach you how to pee! Sir aye aye sir! LOL

People say that this is about "the sergeant wants to abuse Joker and blablabla", but it is not. The purpose of the training is that the soldiers get used to stress. And if they can think properly while stressed. Because stress fuck up your capability to think. So, the sergeant realizes that Joker is giving a clear and well though answer and stops the bulling. Joker has completed his "mental training" of thinking clearly while on stress. If this was bullying because of sadism, the sergeant would have continued no matter what, and only stops when he is tired of abusing.

Grew up on this movie.watched it quite a few times..never get bored of it. And love seeing how a few of em went on to age in other movies.

57 people need Joker to teach them how to pee.

"He'll teach you how to pee!" 😂

I love this film. We used to quote the DI Basic Training scene at Ft. Knox and Ft Benning even though it's a USMC based film. It never gets old.

"Private Cowboy, Private Joker!!!!" this is hillarious and serious in the same amount oooh my God

In spanish dub, instead of calling "scumbag" to Snowball, he straight calls him "Shitball" Also, instead of saying "He's got guts", he says "He's got nuts"

"Do you believe in the Virgin Mary?" "Sir no sir!" (Trashcan) "Haha I'm in danger"

I love how he instantly made up his mind about Joker after that answer

After all these decades I only just noticed Hartmann has a frigging police baton in his hand and switches it out to his other hand to slap Joker. Kubrick's eye for detail was insanely good.

1:33 Kingpin, is that you?

I love that everything they do, per drill and ceremony, is correct. When dismissed/falling out, they take a step backward with the right foot and then go about their business. God this movie will never cease to amaze

Absolutely iconic and timeless genius of a film. It just never gets old. An Oscar should have been awarded to R. Lee Ermey who has gone down in infamy as the most sadistic and respected drill instructor on screen. Rest in peace good sir. 🎥🙏🏾✝️🙏🏾✝️💐🫡

I just realized that Pyle doesn't have his underwear on correctly, nice detail!

The original Atheist: Private Joker.

Best backhand in film history

As a former student of taekwondo,I'm just glad they didn't take any notes from military training,cuz my instructors yelled a lot (mainly because they were teaching kids as young as 7 and they didnt listen). It scared me a lot,but taekwondo is not only a martial art for self-defense,it's a class for mastering self. What I mean by this is that we focused on how to behave,and as I said,the kids I was with didn't really listen.

The first time I saw that movie and the boot camp portion, I laughed myself sick with the drill sergeant's one-liners and verbal assaults.

And that's exactly what happened, when Joker stood by his belief Hartman saw that he was strong and made him squad leader.

My favorite movie of all time. A must in my dwindling DVD collection. This and Arnold Schwarzenegger's Total Recall are the only two DVD I must have in my collection

I don't know how things are today, but 40 years ago, what seemed like mass chaos was a meticulously orchestrated enndeavor where everything had a purpose, usually unknown to the recruits. For all its faults, the military knows how to train massive amounts of people in a brief amount of time to do incredibly arduous and stressful tasks.

My drill instructor once told an atheist recruit that he should just die and stop breathing God’s air, then made him lead the church in song.

This scene can be viewed in direct comparison to the four recruits that were tested at the opening of the film; Snowball the readily compliant archetype, Joker the intellectual inivedual who becomes coercibly compliant, Cowboy who is vulnerable compliant, and Pyle who is incompetently inclompliant. Hartman sets up Joker to give him this response; Snowball was made squad leader on virtue if his ready compliance in the face of racial prejudice, Joker lies about his reason for joining the marines after disobeying all compelled speech ordered by Hartman and Hartman asks cowboy in turn 'whats your excuse' as a sort of intelligence test. Joker passes Hartman's intelligence test and sets a precedent that intelligence and compliance is valued. This is essential as the addition of Joker training Pyle wouldn't have been necessary if a simple intelligence test was the desired outcome; Hartman wanted an example for all recruits and Pyle to begin his training under the motherly care of sensitive, intelligent Joker.
