Full Metal Jacket

Just watching the film. It was filmed in the UK!!!!!

-----------------------------

Review
Stanley Kubrick's penultimate film is a harrowing, foul-mouthed and violent Vietnam War drama.

While its message is simple ? innocent young Americans are taught to be machine-like killers ? its technique is extraordinary.

Because Kubrick refused to travel any distance, it was shot entirely in Britain, with palm trees uprooted from Spain and Matthew Modine and a cast of relative unknowns uprooted from Hollywood.

Renting a disused gasworks in Beckton, east London, Kubrick created a huge and spectacular outdoor set, though some sequences, it must be said, lack tropical realism.

The performances are superb, especially Lee Ermey as the drill sergeant with a colourful vocabulary, Vincent D'Onofrio as the pathetic Private Pyle and Modine as the cynical recruit called Joker.

Directed by: Stanley Kubrick

Filmed in: 1987
