Its easy, you just got to lead them a little more--or something along those lines?fantomas wrote:In Apocalypse Now, the scene where the door gunner is asked,
How can you shoot running women & children?
Orald, since your an avid shootist, do you remmember the answer the gunner gave? or anyone else remembers?
Yes....almost, is like...Tleilax Master B wrote:Its easy, you just got to lead them a little more--or something along those lines?fantomas wrote:In Apocalypse Now, the scene where the door gunner is asked,

My dad was a door gunner in Viet Nam (1/14th Air Cavalry), he told me the same story when I was about six-years-old.
I asked him what he did in the war. Then I asked him how he knew what to shoot at being that high up. He said there were AoAs (Areas of Operation) where you shot anything that moved.
What they left out in the movie was that they were also shooting water buffalos, monkeys, birds... whatever moved.
The horror...

Paul of Dune was so bad it gave me a seizure that dislocated both of my shoulders and prolapsed my anus.

I was thinking of the Air Cav in Apocalypse Now & got confused.GamePlayer wrote:Wrong film, people. That was Stanley Kubrick's film Full Metal Jacket (1987).
Joker
How can you shoot women and children?
Doorgunner
Easy. You just don't lead 'em so much. (laughs) Ain't war hell?
Debating within my self if the scene in "Now", the one where Robert Duvall
says, like, "you smell that...... It smells like... Victory!, was funny enough
then I chose the helicopter scene. But, it was all those Air Cav Helicopters, they just stuck in my mind. What awesome footage of "The Air Cavalry"

The full quote is(courtesy of IMDB):
She's in pain, she's asking for death, he's just giving her a coupe de-grace(which personally I don't know if I would've given, after seeing my platoon members being shot).
It's got lots of great moments, like the Peace Symbol pin scene, the hooker scene("Hey, you got girlfriend Vietnam? Me so horny. Me love you long time." ) and of course "Texas? Only steers and queers come from Texas, Private Cowboy. And you don't look much like a steer to me so that kinda narrows it down. Do you suck dicks?"
That movie made some very famous quotes.
The Princess Bride has lots of funny moments.
Just finished rewatching it. Meh, Cary Elwas was so damn hot back then, I couldn't decide who to stare more at in his scenes with Robin Wright Penn.
Speaking of Full Metal Jacket(awsome movie, a real classic), I never understood what's the fuss about in the scene Joker finishes the sniper.Door Gunner: Git some! Git some! Git some, yeah, yeah, yeah! Anyone that runs, is a VC. Anyone that stands still, is a well-disciplined VC! You guys oughta do a story about me sometime!
Private Joker: Why should we do a story about you?
Door Gunner: 'Cuz I'm so fuckin' good! I done got me 157 dead gooks killed. Plus 50 water buffalo too! Them's all confirmed!
Private Joker: Any women or children?
Door Gunner: Sometimes!
Private Joker: How can you shoot women or children?
Door Gunner: Easy! Ya just don't lead 'em so much! Ain't war hell?

In memory of Perach, who suffered and died needlessly.
I wish I could have been with you that one last time.

The basic training portion of FMJ was pretty accurate compared to my basic training, as far as the way the drill instructor talked to them. It was almost word for word.
"We've got to keep our heads until this peace craze blows over."
and
"They'd rather be alive than free... poor, dumb bastards."
are a couple of my favorite lines.

Of course, that would be an entirely different story if Freak were in a bar trying to get drinks off the guy.Freakzilla wrote:INCONCEIVABLE!orald wrote:The Princess Bride has lots of funny moments.

For shame! Hang him!
Fantomas
No problems. You guys get away easy. If I would have made the same mistake among my friends (most of whom are far worse film geeks than me), I never would have heard the end of it
Both Full Metal Jacket and Apocalypse Now are two of my favorite films and correspondingly two of the best war films ever made. You have good taste.
orald
I always liked the way in which rafterman was puking his guts out during the scene
As for the Princess Bride, well let's just say there's a shortage of perfect breasts in this world

But seriously, can you make a post that doesn't involve poop?
