Full Metal Jacket wear lens

Continuity: The position and sequence of the third wire in the opening scene of the movie.
Facts are wrong: Hartman's ribbon is incorrect, the order is reversed, and the blue horizontal stripes should be on top.
Factual error: When Jock made a request for tank support over the radio, he made a mistake that he often made in Hollywood movies, saying "handover and completion". The correct way to say it is "completion." "Transfer" means to forward the information they spread to others. "Completed" means that your dialogue has ended.
Geographical error: Road signs suggest that the filming location is in England, not Parry Island.
An anachronism: When they entered the city, a group of helicopters landed in the lens, and you could see a modern communications tower, which was being violently bombarded by tanks.
The facts are wrong: In some occasions, the radio intercom uses "repeat". In fact, in the naval forces, the use of the word "repetition" in radio communications is only limited to the conversation with the artillery company, requiring the other party to repeat the final artillery mission. The term used here should be "please say it again" or "I say it again".
The staff is visible: When the men sing songs while running forward, some staff members can be seen in the lower right corner of the screen.
Scene error: When facing a sniper, the soldiers hid in a corner of the ruins. When the camera turned back again, the wall in that corner obviously dropped a large piece.
Prop error: In the last part of the film, the assault rifle used by the female sniper of the Vietnamese army is not the standard AK47 in the Vietnam War, but the VZ58 produced in Czechoslovakia.

Full Metal Jacket quotes

  • Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: What is this Mickey Mouse shit? What in the name of Jesus H. Christ are you animals doing in my head? Why is Private Pyle out of his bunk after lights-out? Why is Private Pyle holding that weapon? Why aren't you stomping Private Pyle's guts out?

    Private Joker: Sir, it is the private's duty to inform the senior drill instructor that Private Pyle has a full magazine that is locked and loaded, Sir!

    [pause]

    Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: [slowly and strictly] Now, you listen to me, Private Pyle. And you listen good. I want that weapon, and I want it now. You will place that rifle on the deck at your feet, and step back away from it.

    [Private Pyle grins and aims the rifle at Hartman]

    Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: [raising his voice] What is your major malfunction, numbnuts? Didn't Mommy and Daddy show you enough attention when you were a child?

    [Private Pyle shoots Hartman, killing him]

  • Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Holy Jesus! What is that? What the fuck is that? WHAT IS THAT, PRIVATE PYLE?

    Private Gomer Pyle: Sir, a jelly doughnut, sir!

    Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: A jelly doughnut?

    Private Gomer Pyle: Sir, yes, sir!

    Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: How did it get here?

    Private Gomer Pyle: Sir, I took it from the mess hall, sir!

    Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Is chow allowed in the barracks, Private Pyle?

    Private Gomer Pyle: Sir, no, sir!

    Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Are you allowed to eat jelly doughnuts, Private Pyle?

    Private Gomer Pyle: Sir, no, sir!

    Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: And why not, Private Pyle?

    Private Gomer Pyle: Sir, because I'm too heavy, sir!

    Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Because you are a disgusting fat body, Private Pyle!

    Private Gomer Pyle: Sir, yes, sir!

    Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Then why did you try to sneak a jelly doughnut in your footlocker, Private Pyle?

    Private Gomer Pyle: Sir, because I was hungry, sir!

    Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Because you were hungry...

    [turns and addresses rest of platoon]

    Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Private Pyle has dishonored himself and dishonored the platoon. I have tried to help him. But I have failed. I have failed because YOU have not helped me. YOU people have not given Private Pyle the proper motivation! So, from now on, whenever Private Pyle fucks up, I will not punish him! I will punish all of YOU! And the way I see it ladies, you owe me for ONE JELLY DOUGHNUT! NOW GET ON YOUR FACES!

    [rest of recruits get in front-leaning-rest position, Hartman turns to Pyle]

    Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Open your mouth!

    [shoves jelly doughnut into PYLE's mouth]

    Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: They're payin' for it; YOU eat it! Ready! Exercise!
