R.I.P. R.Lee Ermey.FMJ is a fantastic film. Same as you, I prefer the recruit training part of the film. R Lee Ermey is brilliant as Gunnery Sergeant Hartman. As he should be, considering he was a drill instructor for the US Marines.

I miss when every other film wasn't a superhero film. Some good stuff back then.

Captain Jack Aubrey's orders to track and engage the French battleship Archeron, but against a speedy and heavily armed opponent. Aubrey must coax a supernatural effort from its exhausted crew.
I loved Master and Commander. Had plenty of source material too, think it was a real shame they didn’t make any further films.

A lot of the fighting sequences in the second half were filmed in East London. Not a lot of people know that !FMJ is a fantastic film. Same as you, I prefer the recruit training part of the film.

Anyone who went to Manchester Grammar School will remember Ian 'Basher' Bailey, a much-loved, long-serving teacher there. His claim to fame outside that was that he guarded Rudolf Hess on his first night in captivity after Hess's flight to Scotland. (He didn't actually know who it was at the time and only found out a few days later when it became public knowledge).On today, Jan 1st 2025
15:55 - 5 Action HD - Operation Daybreak (1975)
During World War II, three British trained Czechs plot to assassinate Hitler's right-hand man, Reinhard Heydrich. Based on a true story.
What was less well-known about his war exploits was that he served in SOE, training agents for their missions in Occupied Europe. He was apparently stationed at Arisaig House on the west coast of Scotland and Heydrich's Czech assassins did their training there. So he almost certainly played some part in the preparation for what was officially known as Operation Anthropoid.
