Full Metal Jacket (1987) Director - Stanley Kubrick Originally, R. Lee Ermey wasn't even cast in the role as Gunnery Sergeant Hartman but after Ermey submitted a tape of himself spewing insults at group of Royal Marines for 15 minutes straight, Kubrick cast him immediately Ermey wrote 150 pages of insults and Kubrick estimated that 50% of the character?s dialog was improvised by the former drill instructor.

"150 pages" WOW, I would love to see the rest of the unaired gems!

Yup, I'd love to see R. Lee Ermey improving.
