Full Metal Jacket

An original prop used in the production of Full Metal Jacket, the 1987 war picture directed by Stanley Kubrick.

This is an original footlocker as seen used by the recruits in various scenes of the picture, most memorably as the characters are introduced and in the memorable scene where Sergeant Hartman (Lee Ermey) discovers a jelly doughnut in the one belonging to Private Pyle (Vincent D'Onofrio). The footlocker is constructed from plywood which is painted dark green with stencilled lighter green detail to the front and 'U.S.M.C' in black lettering to both ends. A hinged top reveals two wooden bars to the interior designed to support a tray which is no longer present.

The footlocker measures approximately 30" x 15" x 11.5" and remains in good vintage condition exhibiting some edge, surface and paint wear with corrosion to the metal hardware.

A displayable artefact and superb talking point from the production of this highly regarded war picture.
