Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Where do Privates Joker, Cowboy, Gomer Pyle and Snowball and the rest of the platoon attend boot camp?

Answer: Parris Island

"Parris Island, South Carolina... the United States Marine Corps Recruit Depot. An eight-week college for the phony-tough and the crazy-brave."-Private Joker

2. What rank is Hartman, the senior drill instructor?

Answer: Gunnery Sergeant

It's R. Lee Ermey's opening line; 'I am Gunnery Sergeant Hartman, your Senior Drill Instructor!'

3. What holiday do the recruits 'celebrate' while in training?

Answer: Christmas

Hartman informs them that there will be a "magic show at 0930. Chaplain Charlie will tell you about how the free world will conquer Communism with the aid of God and a few marines!"

4. Who does Hartman accuse Joker of trying to emulate when he gets his specialty assigned to him?

Answer: Mickey Spillane

"Journalism? You think you're Mickey Spillane? Do you think you're some kind of writer? You're not a writer, you're a killer!"

5. What female celebrity is scheduled to arrive in South Vietnam just prior to the Tet Offensive?

Answer: Ann- Margret

Lieutenant Lockhart, the officer in charge of the Marine Corps newspaper requests that Rafterman get some "low-angle shots" of her.

6. What river runs near or through the city of Hue?

Answer: Perfume

The Mekong Delta is in the southern region of Vietnam, the Huang is what the Chinese call the Yellow River, and the Yalu River separates North Korea from China.

7. Who carries the M-60 for the platoon?

Answer: Animal Mother

Animal Mother is the quintessential "tough guy" in the film. Brilliantly portrayed by Adam Baldwin.

8. What does Animal Mother say when Hand Job is killed?

Answer: 'Better you than me.'

Handjob was killed by a VC booby-trap. We later learn that he was scheduled for a Section 8 discharge, military terminology for personnel who are mentally unfit for duty. It seems that Hand Job had a bit of a "self-pleasure" problem.

9. What song do the marines sing as they walk through the rubble of Hue?

Answer: The Mickey Mouse Club Theme

The men sing the song as the fires of the war burn in the distance.

10. Where was this movie filmed?

Answer: England

Yes, it was filmed entirely in England. Look at the road signs at Parris Island. They are designed for driving on the left side of the road. It's also why you can see their breath in some of the combat scenes. That's not likely in a tropical country like Vietnam. Why was it filmed in England? I have heard many rumors, but the most popular theory relates to the fact that the late Stanley Kubrick would not fly and insisted that the film be shot locally.
