No Widescreen of Full Metal Jacket?

I've heard what Jaybo says about FMJ as well. I've seen a few movies shot where you can see the full 4:3 aspect ratio in the viewfinder, but widescreen crops are drawn on it to show what will show in theaters. Sometimes the boom mikes and lights are visible hanging from above in the viewfinder, but the moviegoer never sees this once it's cropped out.

"This is my rifle. There are many like it but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my rifle is useless. Without my rifle I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy, who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will. Before God I swear this creed: my rifle and myself are defenders of my country, we are the masters of my enemy, we are the saviors of my life. So be it, until there is no enemy, but peace. Amen."

"I wanted to see exotic Vietnam... the crown jewel of Southeast Asia. I wanted to meet interesting and stimulating people of an ancient culture... and kill them. I wanted to be the first kid on my block to get a confirmed kill!"

gunbei...great film....i've got the screenplay as well.....

"Private Gunbei, how tall are you ?"

What a psycho flick, I love it.

Private Gunbei: "Sir, five-foot-nine, sir!"

Gunnery Sergeant Rx8man: "Five-foot-nine?! I didn't know they stacked DACs that high!"

Jaybo, THAT screenplay must be cool, heheh. I think I've got the Blade Runner screenplay somewhere at home. I'd like to get the Apocolypse Now script too.

"CHARLIE DON'T SURF!!"

Gunbei, I think you have my entire video collection duplicated !

Christopher Walken: "One shot"
DeNiro: "Nicki !! don't do it !!"
