“Hey you, where the fuck you goin”
BOOM
What was up with the fat dude carrying a six pack just mouthing off to a VC in the middle of an all out battle? I won't go as far as to call it funny but it's just so goofy.
shareAccording to Dale Dye's novelization of the film, the fat guy was a sergeant who went to the battle zone to get his CIB in the hopes that his superiors would then stop giving him grief about his beer belly.
He could not tell the difference between US and VC soldiers in the firefight. He choose poorly.
LOL. Thanks for the heads up on that. Dale's been around the block a few times so I'm guessing that this story might come, at least in part, from something he'd really seen during his time in the service.
sharelol this scene is fuckin hilarious!
he must be the relax man in the world wandering around battlefield with his gut hanging out yelling at people hahahahahahha
There's a part where the entire platoon is looking for the solider, Manny, and I think it's Glover who says to himself, "Manny, where you at?"
Thanks to the internet I found the clip of him saying it: https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/9b392b34-2c40-45d5-ac9f-2966a86d5da4
I just loved the way he said the line and I say it to myself all the time when I'm looking for something.
My father took me to the theater to see "Platoon". I remember that scene when Bunny beat the Vietnamese man to death.
When he said "Holy s---! Did you see that f------- head come apart?", a sizable portion of the audience laughed!
Why didn't Stone tell him to drop the crossed eyes?
shareCrossed eyes?
shareThe actor crosses his eyes when he dies and it looks goofy as fuck. Like it's a comedy.
shareYeah, I think they mean Junior. Whoever it was in the foxhole with Bunny in the final battle. The dude ran and ended up being bayonetted to death by a Vietnamese. He does this crosseyed thing as he's killed.
shareget up the hill you fat fuck
