    That bit was awkward.

  • Yeah and Modine standing there thinking "OwwwwKay".


    Love you long time.
  • It was shot at beckton gas works
  • Yep. Remember it well - I think a lot of the scenery was still there donkeys years afterwards. Used to be able to see when they were filming from Thamesmead
  • Gunnery Sergeant Hartman is a hero.
  • FMJ was filmed in Thamesmead?

    Christ you learn somthing new everyday!!!!

  • Tubby recruit turns around poor performance with hilarious consequences. War turns out to be horrible.

    No, in Becton. You could see it from Thamesmead. I was doing a course at North Thames College in Docklands around that time. It was a real waste land and public transport was terrible.

    Clockwork Orange was filmed in Thamesmead

    WHAT...A...FILM!
  • My old man remembers being on the Thames, on his tug with the hueys flying out with all manner of explosions going on in the old gas works.

    Every time I see the film, I find it staggering to think that Kubrick cast Michael-Hall as joker first. Would love to see his discarded screen test/rushes, just can't imagine he'd have played the role well.
