  • Shifting gears a bit, the extras on the Dozen blue ray include a story about a table cast reading. Clint Walker - Sampson Posey - was supposed to play the bogus general at the jump school. Clint objected on the grounds that he didn't want a Native American to come across as an idiot and that he thought the scene was disrespectful. Director Aldrich looked around the table and said to Donald Sutherland - OK, you with the ears, you're a general.
    After the film was shot, Altman campaigned to have Sutherland's name and image in the ads, citing that Don had performed so greatly in the film. Consequently, several US ads feature Sutherland's face in the "grenade" image.



    We deal in lead, friend.


    Nice insight Gorch, I'm not sure if the same extras are on the UK blu ray, I'll have to dig it out and check!

  • BTW, I know a dealer who sells semi-auto versions of the .30 cal for about $2,600. I would give my teeth for one of those.
