did the rocky copy

[johnbryant]

Does any one know if Dwayne Johnson copied T.H.E. Rock from the book "The short-timers"(full metal jacket)?

From the book
"T.H.E. Rocks says, "You know, my mom writes me a lot of letters about what a brave boy T.H.E. Rock is. T.H.E. Rock is not a boy; he's a person." He drinks beer. "I know I'm a person because I know there ain't no Santa Claus. There ain't no fucking Easter bunny. You know? Back in the World we thought that the future is always safe in a little gold box somewhere. Well, I'll live forever. I'm T.H.E. Rock.""

If any one wants to read the book its free here: http://www.gustavhasford.com/ST.htm

I saw it like 20 times and still don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

:wtf: The Rock copied nothing Junior. The Rock was unique. The Rock was original.

You're lucky The Rock doesn't come down that copper cable and whip your candy-ass all the way back to Know Your Role Boulevarde.

And that's the bottom line 'cause the Great One said so...oh, wait a minute, maybe he did borrow a few lines.

ok the movie full metal jacket is based on a book. the book was called the short-timers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Short-Timers

in the book there is a guy named T.H.E. Rock who some times talks in the 3rd person.

This is my rifle. There are many like it but this one is mine.

[D Mac]

Maybe he did, maybe he didn't, who cares?

[Indifferent Clox]

I'm sure it's somewhat based on this if not directly.

[TerranRich]

No, you're mistaken. The Rock is based on the Sean Connery movie of the same name.

[The MAC]

[Stickman]

Rocky Miavia

[Kane Knight]

Yes, these are the only two sources in history to refer to themselves in the third person.

Well, them and Rocky "The Face" Johnson from Aberrant.

[FaceOfDeath]

Shut the fuck up, rocky cocksucker.

[TerranRich]

He should've been called "Rock Johnson", the mulatto porn star from Samoa.

Guess he's lucky Russo wasn't booking when he was transforming into The Rock...
