FAQ
I've seen this movie over a dozen times and was always wondering if Samuel Jackson is in the movie uncredited? The scene where Capt. Davenport is taking to Pvt. Wilkie and the soldiers are celebrating being on standby alert and shooting flares outside the barracks. I say the soldier with 2 other soldiers are yelling and the one with the gold rimmed glasses is Jackson. He was in the original play version but lost out for a role for reasons unknown. I'm assuming he was given a small role since he didn't get a more active one. Anyone agrees or have noticed?
Bobby Mcgee was the soldier in the glasses talking about "we gonna get that goose stepping daddy" Samuel Jackson was only in the play. My name is Rick Ramey, I was standing right next to Bobby in the scene.
