There's a lot of male nudity in Jarhead.

We don't have a helicopter, no, that would be cool though. They're rescuing the pilot.

You don't see any gross male parts in the movie. Maybe some boobs, but it ain't That bad. They did have to be within an "R" rating afer all the swearing. I think you would appreciate the film more than me.

There's definitely some credible doubt as to how realistic Jarhead truly is, considering that Swofford openly hates the Corps with a passion, and Sam Mendes is the single most anti-military director in Hollywood...

What about Humvees? Five-tons? I know there's a SoCal airsoft group that has a garage full of working, modern military vehicles, but I guess that's kind of a long haul for you guys

We've got two trucks.

I have friends in the military... They say s*** that happened in the movie occured all the time. What can I say, Marines are crazy!

Let's talk about the costumes some more, what can I improve on?

You could add a tan elastic helmet ring.

Not having paid much attention to American gear in Iraq I don't know if this is an applicable sugestion, but Canadians in Afghanistan have adopted parts of native dress into their regualr gear, most notably scarves and face coverings for use in sandstorms. If the indigenous people have been wearing something for centuries it must be for a good reason, and soldiers commonly see that.

British troops pinch ideas from the locals, a shemagh is outstanding for keeping the cr** and dust out of your eyes, ears and mouth.

and is also good for keeping the warm in on those cold winter nights... It works on stag at 3am in England in -7 so it will work in the desert. I was checking the news footage of US troops in Iraq, they dont seem to accesorise much, is this just for the official photos or is it regulations?

Epsilon · Post by **Epsilon** » Sun Apr 30, 2006 2:01 am

I don't think most troops wear a lot of non-uniform items, although I have seen one photo of a soldier wearing a WW2 Tanker jacket! Usually our soldiers are issued everything they need. They still get personal items from people back at the home front.

Gyro · Post by **Gyro** » Sun Apr 30, 2006 3:13 am

Umm... alright, they're issued all the stuff "they need". But, trouble is... it sucks, so most of the soldiers actually buy their own stuff, more comortable, more safe, more efficient, etc, etc. So, a mess load of soldiers actually buy the majority of their own stuff.

It is only partially the costumes that make the scene... I'd say you are pretty much set on a personal level. Worry now about getting location props. Ammo crates, tentage, random garbage from warehouses, etc to dress up the area. Also invest in some good stage makeup and lights.

tallman_house_pictures · Sun Apr 30, 2006 4:22 am

In the Canadian Forces, soldiers are allowed to buy their own gear from a few different sources...largely due to budget cutbacks on the gov'ts behalf (Cretian/Martin era). They are also allowed to customize their rifles (sights, grips/handles, stock pouches etc). So, as a result there is lots of variation (in our forces). I'd guess that there's not that much in the US forces because your gov't can actually afford to issue its troops with complete/practical gear (lol...ex/ not sending soldiers to the desert in forest Cadpat (Urban Camo)).

SgtPadrino · Post by **SgtPadrino** » Sun Apr 30, 2006 11:24 pm

Maybe not a whole lot in the regular infantry/National Guard, but a lot of special forces troops, even SWAT officers, buy gear off of companies like www.blackhawkindustries.com and customize their rifles with aimpoints, scopes, etc.

And Gyro, costumes look fine, concentrate on other areas to make sure the entire thing looks authentic.

its funny with the accessorising thing.... if you were to see picks of it in real life . take for example the ww2 tanker jacket.... in a real pic it would look fine but in a movie people would say "hey thats wrong crappy movie" so be careful what you put on them

Looking back at a much earlier post, and just out of curiosity: How about some pics of the OppFor?

Gyro · Post by **Gyro** » Mon May 01, 2006 5:50 am

OppFor?

UFProductions · Post by **UFProductions** » Mon May 01, 2006 5:53 am

Opposing Force. Iraqi's in this case (I'm guessing.)

What brand of BDU's are those Gyro?

SgtPadrino · Post by **SgtPadrino** » Tue May 02, 2006 9:22 pm

They're the new digital camo that the Marines are using - the pattern is designed on computers, and it does a much better job of breaking up the outline of a soldier than the standard issue camo than the Army/National Guard gets.
