Platoon: Brothers in Arms. Really good documentary from the eyes of the actors. Sheen is the main narrator and comes across really sincere. Except for Forest Whitaker, everyone from the main cast is interviewed. Some of the more illuminating insights.
— sheen's mother mailed 14 boxes of supplies ahead of him with a letter stating something akin to, "this is everything I wished we had brought when your dad did apocalypse now in the Philippines."
— Dafoe talks about being on the last plane to land before the civil war broke out and the ensuing chaos as they weren't sure when he would get out or if the movie would be made.
— a funny moment where Berenger is darting around his living room recreating one of the scenes from the film.
— half the cast got lost during their training one day, and cut down a pineapple tree to get food.
— they all hated stone at one point or another.
— Depp said one of the extras (who was a cop in the Philippines) almost pulled a gun on Stone because of his abrasiveness.
— another sequence where they talk about how the advisors would do nightly raids to keep the cast on their toes. Berenger says, "one guy, I won't say who, got hit right in the balls by these explosive charges." Depp goes, "all you heard was this screaming when one of the guys got in the balls." Then sheen goes, "it was me, i got hit in the balls."
