Yeah I imagine all Kubrick shoots were intense, his threatment of Shelly Duvall (who's a wonderful actress) on the set of The Shining was terrible (seen in the Making of film). I like the way the Basic Training section of Full Metal Jacket riffs on the training section of Spartacus - I used to think that the Drill Instructor's threatment of the recruits was inhuman, but I guess it's required if you're gonna send guys to live twenty-four-seven with bullets, bombs and people who's sole purpose is to kill them...
