A friend and I were discussing the strereotypical, loud mouthed drill sargeant--the prototype would have to be Louis Gossett, Jr. in AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN. Would ya'll be willing to list other examples of this character on the screen? Off the top of my head, I can name two more. The hilarious basic training sequences in Woody Allen's LOVE AND DEATH, and also the sargent in FULL METAL JACKET. Could anyone else help me out?
