TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

In the scene where Swofford is burning the latrines, the bucket contained real human and dog faeces to make Jake Gyllenhaal's reaction realistic.

The sex video breakup scene is actually a well-known legend that has been circulating in the American military since the late 1980s, and actually does happen.

A great deal of the dialog is improvised. This was a deliberate choice on the part of Sam Mendes to be a little more organic after the stylization of Road to Perdition (2002).

John Krasinski wrote all of his dialogue.

The Marines watch Apocalypse Now (1979), which was edited by Jarhead editor Walter Murch.

Popular Dialogues

"D.I. Fitch: What the fuck are you even doing here? Anthony 'Swoff' Swofford: Sir, I got lost on the way to college, sir."

"[last lines] Anthony 'Swoff' Swofford: A story. A man fires a rifle for many years. and he goes to war. And afterwards he comes home, and he sees that whatever else he may do with his life - build a house, love a woman, change his son's diaper - he will always remain a jarhead. And all the jarheads killing and dying, they will always be me. We are still in the desert."
