Loved that scene. Apparently they tried filming it so many times and weren't able to do a proper one because everyone kept laughing, so they just took one of those takes. You can tell it's unscripted because the laughter is so genuine and off-the-cuff. It's the same reason I always knew that Good Will Hunting "farts in her sleep" scene must have been improvised - Matt Damon's laughter reveals it.
I guess I need to go watch a documentary on Full Metal Jacket, because the intro being unscripted seems impossible to me. Especially before he starts getting in their faces and it's just that one, long, unbroken cut.

Monty Phytons Life of Brian:
The "You're all different!"-"I'm not" is improvised by an extra.You can clearly see that the other extras are somewhat surprised.
While we're at it,the "Biggus Dickus" Scene was somewhat scriped.The actors had their lines - but the guards are told that they weren't allowed to laugh.
According to the documentary included with the DVD, included in the final cut of the film is a scene where Al Pacino's character gets rudely bumped into on 5th Avenue while trying to court Ellen Barkin's character. According to the director this was an unscripted moment caused by a real New Yorker and not an extra. Pacino incorporates the moment into his performance and continues without missing a beat.
