Matthew Modine is raging Amazon Prime stripped the tongue-in-cheek \u2018BORN TO KILL\u2019 message from the \u2018Full Metal Jacket\u2019 poster<\/p>\n

The 65-year-old actor played jaded marine James T \u2018Joker\u2019 Davis in late director Stanley Kubrick<\/a>\u2019s searing 1987 anti-war Vietnam movie \u2013 which was famously advertised with the stark image of a battered and graffitied army helmet emblazoned with the phrase, along with a peace sign and a string of live rifle cartridges held in place by a leather strap.<\/p>\n

In the midst of outrage from fans who spotted Amazon had removed the now-iconic \u2018BORN TO KILL\u2019 white writing from the helmet, Matthew ranted on X about the censorship: \u201cWho decided to remove \u2018BORN TO KILL?\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cNot only did they alter a piece of iconic art by (poster designer) Philip Castle, but they completely misunderstood the point of it being there.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c(My character) wears the helmet with \u2018BORN TO KILL\u2019 and the peace button as a statement about \u2018the duality of man\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nMatthew accompanied his statement with a picture of the poster without the words and a shot of the original poster containing them.<\/p>\n

\nFans have speculated Amazon removed them as part of so-called \u201cwoke\u201d culture over fears it may offend users of the site \u2013 or due to worries it could be seen as an incitement to violence by people clueless about the film\u2019s content or meaning.<\/p>\n

\nThe film sees Private Joker put through brutal training for the Vietnam war, alongside fellow rookie marines played by stars including Vincent D\u2019Onofrio.<\/p>\n

\nIn one scene, one of the private\u2019s commanding officers asks Private Joker why he \u2018BORN TO KILL\u2019 on the helmet \u2013 prompting Matthew\u2019s character to reply: <\/p>\n

\n\u201c(It\u2019s) the duality of man. The Jungian thing, sir.\u201d <\/p>\n

\nIt is still unclear why Amazon made the change, but after a backlash from movie fans it has since reverted the poster back to its original form.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
