      Old-school humor

      A BILL MURRAY film in the 1980s, about a guy with agility but no ambition. When he was fired, his car was taken away, and his girlfriend left, what will happen tomorrow is meaningless to him... ...It's

      still a comedy in the end, so although I want to give us some thoughts, such as what to cheer up when we encounter setbacks, but the old beauty just likes to spoof, so our protagonists enter the barracks to challenge the system with extraordinarily cynicism to deal with stereotypes Old...

      Life is short, hurry up

      On February 24 this year, the famous Hollywood screenwriter, director, and actor Harold Remis passed away, drawing people's review of his many comedy works. The memories of the deceased are mixed with a lot of laughter. I think this is the ideal state of comedians. Among Remis's works, the most mentioned are "Groundhog Day" and "Ghostbusters", and the first thing that popped out of my mind was his earlier work-1981's "Miscellaneous Army" "The Eastern Campaign", like those two, is a...

      Less formal but better than preaching, the conscription and the preaching of the military confrontation do not forget to ridicule the old rivals during the Cold War. The show of two female officers Sean Yang caught the Silver Wing Express in the second year; the second set of Columbia UHD made up the number. One...

Without knowing the way out, he and his best friend Roselle ( Harold Remis ) joined the army on impulse, mainly for pranks.

    Movie quotes

    • Sergeant Hulka: Okay, Mr. Push-ups, let's hear your story.

      John Winger: Chicks dig me, because I rarely wear underwear and when I do it's usually something unusual. But now I know why I have always lost women to guys like you. I mean, it's not just the uniform. It's the stories that you tell. So much fun and imagination.

      [points to the soldier next to him]

      John Winger: Lee Harvey, you are a madman. When you stole that cow, and your friend tried to make it with the cow. I want to party with you, cowboy. If the two of us together, forget it. I'm gonna go out on a limb here. I'm gonna volunteer my leadership to this platoon. An army without leaders is like a foot without a big toe. And Sergeant Hulka isn't always gonna be here to be that big toe for us. I think that we owe a big round of applause to our newest, bestest buddy, and big toe... Sergeant Hulka.

      [the soldiers start clapping]

      Sergeant Hulka: Well, okay, hot shot. We're gonna see what kind of soldier you are. Reveille is O five hundred. We're going to fall out with locker boxes and we're going to have a locker box inspection. And then we're going to do ten miles. Rain or shine! So, you better hit them bunks my little babies. Or, Sgt Hulka with the big toe is going to see how far he can stick it up your ass!

    • General Barnicke: Where is your drill sergeant, men?

      John Winger: Blown up, sir!

      Soldiers: Blown up, sir!

    • General Barnicke: Where have you been soldier?

      John Winger: TRAINING, SIR!

      Soldiers: TRAINING, SIR!

      General Barnicke: What kind of training?

      John Winger: BLAAAAARRRRRRMYYYYYY TRAINING, SIR!

      Soldiers: ARMY TRAINING, SIR!
