Vincent D'Onofrio Interview on "Full Metal Jacket" (August 4, 1987)

[@SteveCarr-v8e]

Big D’Onofrio fan from Criminal Intent. He so young here, excellent interview

[@mikefitzgerald41]

Lee Ermey said Vincent was the best part of the movie

[@leo29hornsfan]

Some of the stories that Vincent told about Lee Ermey was incredible. He said that Lee who was never an actor really before just came in and stole this role and there was nothing that Stanley could do about it. He was just that talented and funny as hell

[@aleksandrmakarschin7129]

Not for me. People don't go nuts the way that Pt. Lawrence did. The final scene in the head looks totally false to me. The man overplayed a lot.

[@bongbongGAMING7878]

@@aleksandrmakarschin7129 I knew someone who snapped during boot camp and he looked exactly what Pile was. The only difference is he didn't shoot himself but instead charges at us with a jungle bolo. Good thing our DS managed to overpower and disarm the guy.

Genius actor in everything I’ve seen him in. Full metal jacket is amazing. The first half especially until his untimely end In men in black as Edgar the bug, daredevil and Jurassic world

Always will be my favourite actor . Hes done some brilliant performances ❤❤❤

🇧🇷👋🏾🤝🏽 Thank you for sharing this love Vincent D'onófrio.

[@roberttamatea1996]

Vincent was my favourite in the movie 🎥🍿🍿🍿 I cried when he died. There was somuch to him. I wished that he had a chance to prove himself in battle.. Vincent was the Best

[@highestsettings]

"Was it hard to lose the weight?" "Yeah" "Okay" Great interview.

[@ikGREENY]

This dude put up one of the best performances in the history of cinema. I’m a bit of a buff for good movies. I’ve seen most critically acclaimed movies of all eras (1930s-now) and all genres. I really have. From Saving Private Ryan to Rear window to the Marvel CU to Gone with the wind. And his performance as Pile has stuck with my and has made more of an impact on my world view than any other character I’ve ever seen (other than legacy characters like Batman or Luke Skywalker). I’ll always remember that bathroom scene…

[@whatareyoulookingat24]

It’s like a mix of Vincent D’Onofrio and Julio Iglesias and I’m not complaining at all 😂👌

[@danfuerthgillis4483]

LMFAO ROFL hahahaha 100% lol

The male interviewer is so full of himself it's funny.

[@howielisnoff]

Great movie and a great actor. I would have liked a longer interview with more discussion about Vietnam, but in the time given to this interview, the discussion was good.

[@aidanfox8219]

It's that crazy cop from law & order.

[@BillBraz-b9o]

He made people confess even when they are innocent

[@mandu6665]

People out here saying he's on coke when they don't realize how hot studio lights are. Especially in the 80s.

[@CinemaMacabro]

D'Onofio has evolved as an actor, playing heavies, mentally unstable heroes, dude can play it all

[@CatalystNetwork]

You were great in full metal jacket by the way. Love your magic Vincent

[@anthonylim8865]

Great acting by Mr Vincent!!! Much Kudos & snappy salute to you!! 😊👌👌👌👍✊✊

[@einarvalentinoronn9870]

What are you talking about Dude 🤔

[@tevster1316]

“Was it hard to lose the 70 pounds you gained? Yes it was hard.” No shit it was hard. Stupid question.

[@B25gunship]

Navy boot camp in 1967 was quite the experience for me. My father was a WW2 Navy vet and I had friends who had been in the Navy so I pretty much knew what to expect. The secret was to keep your mouth shut and your eyes and ears open. Also don't make yourself stand out in any way. My mistake was I was pretty squared away so I became one of our companies six squad leaders. But I also saw the effect the rigorous training and discipline could have on those who weren't as prepared for it. It brought out the worst in some. We had an attempted suicide one night while I was standing quarterdeck watch and it wasn't pretty. Other guys would just fold under the pressure and just become babbling idiots. The screw ups paid the price for not pulling their weight and they would fall victim to an assortment of vigilante punishments, usually under the cover of darkness. The platoon leaders and squad leaders would look the other way as you didn't want to interfere in that process. More than a few fence jumpers going over the hill also. The idea was to weed out the weak ones early and it worked. A nasty way to do it but a very necessary one. FMJ is probably the finest movie there will ever be depicting military basic training. Certainly for the Marine Corps. Well done Pvt. Pyle.

[@jbw3118]

[@stornkolson]

Wow, he must've been chilling in south Florida before he did this video

[@WilliamMunnyIII]

I thought he had kept the weight because everything I ever saw him in, after that movie, he was a north of 250 Lb, big bruiser of a guy. I remember hearing he was 200 before then blew up to like 270 or 280 and it transformed his body and life. He looks like he was 200 or so in this interview, which is after the movie wrapped.

Now I know how to pronounce D'Onofrio.

[@stevefowler2112]

i went thru PI in '72 before being sent to MP school in Texas and then Vietnam...I saw the exact Do you not know your right from your left slapping scene right in front of me and we had a fuck up recruit that had string tied around his dick as the DI lead him across the parade deck. We also had one of our best recruits crack and jump from our third story barracks stairwell landing down to the hard deck. Parris Island was a very brutal place in the Vietnam era. Many of the Parris Island scenes interacting with Lee Ermey are spot on as he was a Marine DI, but all the scenes where Pyle is mentored is complete BS, that never would happen in Marine boot...you are definitely on your own in Marine boot, no other recruit is going to help you, we all hated the fuck ups and non hackers...we were all just trying to survive.

Studio lights at that time that were generating a lot of heat, plus the make-up (they all have mandatory make-up for studio cameras). And it was like that until recently when LED studio lights were introduced and better air conditioning.

I thought Platoon was way better - Matthew Modine ruined this movie - bad actor and was very unsympathetic

[@lankyhanky9772]

I think Modine just provides a completely different side to what recruits and Marines experience. Joker does a much better job adapting, at least in training, but you can see through Modine's performance that he's basically still a kid. Even with the reconditioning he's gone through, he has still held on to his humanity, and the war and the other Marines clearly disturb him. Did you even watch the end of the movie?

[@jerrywoods4066]

Hamburger hill and platoon were awesome. Full metal jacket still a good movie and a classic

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

You don't understand Kubrick films. They aren't made like the other, cookie-cutter, assembly-line stuff.

[@carlosdanli9389]

I think Matthew Modine proved that at the end of the day, the regular guy attitude in Marines, never goes away. The hyper Gung-ho emotionless macho films, when presented film after film, sometimes turns me off because it's not realistic. At the end of the day, especially when we're in the rear with the gear, we're just regular young guys, straight out of high school, trying to make sense of it all. Joker reminds me of some of my Marine Corps buddies, who were intellectuals, but had the guts to join the Marines
