You might notice something strange at the bottom of this shot from VISION QUEST. On the VHS, LaserDisc, and early DVD releases, the film was presented in a full frame or "open matte" format to fill the screen of the 4:3 TVs of the era. This exposed a portion of the 35mm frame that was "matted" (or covered up) for its 1.85:1 widescreen theatrical release.

A self-portrait taken on the set of FULL METAL JACKET using my Rolleiflex's self-timer in 1986. Although never spoken in the film, Private Joker's real name is J.T. Davis (as seen on the back of his PT sweats). He was named after Specialist James T. Davis, the first U.S. casualty of the Vietnam War. He was killed in action on December 22, 1961.

The Rifleman's Creed in FULL METAL JACKET. Stanley had me record the creed to a click track - a metronome cadence used to keep us all in sync. Everyone in the shot wore a little earpiece on a radio frequency so they could hear the recorded playback.
