Heartbreak Ridge - 1986 4

A little bit of Jarhead required viewing, for sure. I rather liked Gunny Highway.

Real question - do you think clint would have made this film better say in 2002/3/4 instead of 1986? I'm convinced this one is held back by the 80's production. Still, ahs luv the Swede. . .

Yeah, I think you have a point there. Swede is the s***. Every platoon should have one of him. Mine always did...

It's not quite the same- but we had our version of the Swede in the frat house. The Butcher. A frightening dude. He beat a cop real bad and we had to smuggle him out of town in a trunk in someone else's car lest he get messed up. That man scared the hell out of me. And I'm 6'2". . .

I got choked out by one of our Swede types when I refused to tap out. One minute I was saying, "F*** you, Willy, I ain't tapping," and the next I was out. Blood chokes are weird like that...

Yikes. The Butcher never touched me- I was too smart for that. But he smashed a guy's TV for being late with the rent. He asked me for advice. I said, "Get a new TV. . .and don't ever, ever be late with the rent." That boy just needed. . .help. He didn't like me very much. He thought I was a (seriously) "weak-ass pacifist." Oh well, rather have this guy on my team than against me. . .

Oh, Willy was just messing around when he did that...

"We don't MIND. . .so you don't MATTER!" Some real underrated lines in this flick.

They did a remarkable job with the kind of BS that Marines say from time to time...
