Fast Facts:
After obtaining the rights to the novel in 1983, Stanley Kubrick asked author Michael Herr, author of the celebrated Vietnam War book Dispatches, to collaborate with him on the screenplay.
To enhance the realism of the boot camp scenes, Kubrick never let Ermey rehearse with the other actors, which created strong, real emotions when the scenes were filmed.
Although the film takes place in Parris Island, SC and Hue, Vietnam, the entire production was shot in England. The boot camp was built on an industrial site in Enfield, and Parris Island was recreated at a British Army base in Bassingbourne, under Lee Ermey’s supervision.
A 1930s abandoned coke-smelting plant in Beckton, a suburb of East London, was used for the battlefield scenes. The buildings there were designed by the same French architects who had worked in Hue, Vietnam.
