Stanley Kubrick's cameo in Full Metal Jacket

Kubrick plays the voice on the radio, Murphy, in Full Metal Jacket. #KubrickCameos

Very fitting that the guy who's not really there but making all the decisions is playing the character who's not really there but making all the decisions. It's like a Norm Macdonald joke

[@michaelcarrasquillo4781]

I was kinda thinking that. There had to be a reason to why he put himself in his own movie

[@MF_YOUTUBE]

Reminds me of that tragedy…

[@metacosmos]

kubrick cameo in 2001, he is the one who breathes heavily after leaving the pod.

[@VashPaxamor]

also in A clockwork orange (crazy cat lady scene), kubrick is on the phone

[@ruckenwind8701]

Maybe he was the the guy in the "dog/bear costume" in the shining , too ?

[@knurdyob]

@@VashPaxamor really? that voice sounded like they had a bit of an accent going on, didn't sound like kubrick to me

[@locoxoconostle]

It seems obvious once you know. But in all these years, I never knew until now. Thank you!

[@filippoulivieri]

You're welcome. Happy to have given you a fresh tidbit of movie trivia

[@Carboxylated]

amazing cameo! I had no idea it was his voice until seeing this and really listening.

[@OnoufriosDovletis]

Kubrick and his daughter Vivian also appear as two photographers at a massacre site. I haven't found that... Plus Vivian, under the alias "Abigail Mead", wrote the film's score!

[@kyleshiflet9952]

I didn't know he was Sgt Murphy

[@Toxxsicklemons]

Amazing, didn’t know until now !

[@blaineedwards8078]

He lived in England. Why didn't he have a British accent? I call bullshit on this!

[@NintendoCokeBear]

@@blaineedwards8078 He lived in England at the time of this film, but he originally lived in New York for the first 30 years of his life, hence the New York accent. Natural accents don't change much after adolescence, I believe. He's talked about this cameo in an interview once if you wanna learn more. :)

[@NintendoCokeBear]

@Fish God Couldn't tell you the exact time code, but he goes in-depth about Full Metal Jacket in an interview with Tim Cahill for Rolling Stone magazine. It's a 2 hour video on KZbin. I recommend looking it up!

[@patrick-ip4yf]

@@blaineedwards8078 The voice also sounds like a younger man IMO.

[@chickenflavor9880]

I had no idea. Wow you always find something new in his films.

[@cesarpedro9384]

Esse si pra mim foi o melhor filme visto em toda minha vida

[@ruckenwind8701]

Maybe he was the the guy in the "dog/bear costume" in the shining , too ?

[@williampatrick2971]

That was someone named Eddie O’Dae

[@emmajones9391]

No way.

[@doomguy1001]

Fucking awesome!
