The second half of Stanley Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket takes place in several locations around Vietnam. For a variety of reasons, Kubrick wanted to do all of the filming near his home in England, but how do you make a Vietnam movie in England? By sheer chance, the production managed to find an abandoned gasworks just outside of London that they could shoot in and because the gasworks was already set for demolition, Kubrick was able to turn the location into perhaps the biggest and most unusual movie set in the history of cinema. This is the story of how Kubrick managed to recreate Vietnam in England.
