00:00none of us had pumped in our heads that oh my god this movie's gonna put us all in the map we
00:12didn't know that platoon a low-budget independent non-sag film cast with mostly unknowns making
00:19their first movie won four academy awards including best picture the summer hit was
00:28Top Gun I just thought well we're fucked what Oliver made was this film about horrible horrible things
00:35happening he hired the white people at the right time that were hungry enough to get in there and
00:40do the task at hand you know as a child I spent eight months on the set of Apocalypse I vowed never
00:49to return and I remember opening the curtains and looking down there were tanks going down the
00:54street everything that my mom was worried about armed guys with m16s all over the place we all
00:59knew heading over there that there was going to be a boot camp but I don't think any of us were
01:04really prepared for what was awaiting us when I brought them down out of the jungle and they
01:09were looking rugged and they were looking ragged Oliver looked at me and he said yeah I think so
01:14I think that's them I get covered in ants you know I'm bug phobic like like like a bitch they
01:21don't just like stay on your neck they start on your neck and wind up everywhere else a dark evil
01:27genius I felt like there was part of him that was still in the jungle it's Oliver's movie and it's
01:33Oliver's vision because he thrives on confrontation it's all he goes what are you doing Oliver yelling at
01:39all of us is one thing all of his heads there so I unzipped the old fly and yeah I was gonna urinate on
01:51Oliver oh I'll get you man I'll get you platoon was great for four months you got to be involved in
01:59something that actually came together and worked it grounded everybody just for once in excellence
02:06saddle up lock and load I be born out don't kill don't yeah but I feel like a piece of pussy once in a
02:17while now I know when I'm in the presence of something beautiful
