Got through Part 3, which is the first half of the second film, or the boot camp boogie. Yes, the strongest episode based on greater variance of activities and subplots. Just more colorful, in a black-and-white way. But I was hoping for swordfights. I mean, the first film had them, or least there was sword-play, sort of, at least a sword vs. empty hand (or neck) scene. Okay, never mind.
So, in between takes, did a workcrew come through with shovels and wheelbarrows to scrape up all of the dead skin cells from the cheeks? Those actors must have been holding a contest. How hard and repeatedly can you get slapped and still stay in character and not flub the scene?
Yeah. This almost certainly influenced Full Metal Jacket.
Now that they've learned how to put on their boots, the soldiers are headed to the front. That will presumably be Part 4.
