Ferrari Mailing List: Re: NFC - TV series recommendation?

[LarryT (l02turner]

I think the 1st movie I saw that seemed realitic as far as people getting 
shot was Private Ryan followed by Band of Brothers.  A hit was shown as if a 
buckt of blood had exploded a la S Peckinpaw but a puff of cloth exploding 
from the jacket filling of the person hit.  And as ou said, like cutting the 
puppets' wires - drop like a sack of potatoes.

I heard the cast of Pvt Ryan spent a week in the field under the guidance of 
a combat vet whose plan was to show what life in the field was really like. 
After 24 hours of rain the crew was ready to quit but T Hanks got them 
together and asked if they really thought they knew what was being taught.

They all stayed the full week but weren;t very happy.  It's pretty rough 
camping out for a week when you;re a millionaire used to a life of luxury. 
But the result was worth it IMHO.
