I've seen this episode many times and agree with you. It's also neat to see Kent McCord before he became Reed in Adam-12.

Legendary characteršŸ‘
So many great lines, many of which R. Lee Ermy improvised and he was so convincing and intimidating in the role that Kubrick, a notorious perfectionist just let him riff!

reply

He was also one of the reasons why I liked The Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake. R. Lee Ermey was more intimidating than Leatherface and more of a real threat in the movie.

reply

Oh, He was a gem. Dead five years already!

Legend.

reply

Agree. Here's another great drill instructor clip from The D.I. starring Jack Webb.

My father-in-law was at Parris Island in 1957. He said the D.I. started on them as soon as they stepped off the bus. The first night in the barracks he heard many recruits crying in their bunks.

I love that movie. I went through Parris Island in 1982. Served four years.

Thank you for your service in the USMC!
