You don't remember this scene?
I liked Barry Pepper's character as the sniper. There were heaps of well-known actors with minor roles in this movie.
Yeah the Sniper was cool too. Fuck, ALL of them were really…..even the cowardly translator redeemed himself at the end.

@Rancid-Schnitzel yeah I still remember seeing this at the movie theatre too, that opening scene with the movie sound system immersed you totally in that scene with sounds coming from all around, was both thrilling and absolutely terrifying to think what it might have been like for a soldier at that moment.

I watched this on VHS with my Grandfather one afternoon. He said the realism and attention to detail were just amazing having been a WWII veteran himself.

Yeah he was great. Tom Sizemore as sarge was probably the best though. Pity these guys followed it up with a monumental amount of shite.
Ted Danson and Bryan Cranston are also in the film.
I think I mentioned it in the RIP thread but Tom Sizemore has been in THREE films I would consider masterpieces. This obviously but also Heat and True Romance
Natural Born Killers and Black Hawk Down are great as well. I think he ended up doing porno films.

I rewatched it again recently, like SPR (and BoB) so many of the supporting cast have become much bigger names since then or they're familiar faces from lots of TV shows. There was the Dad from Modern Family, Jamie Lannister, Tom Hardy, Jeremy Piven, the Welsh guy who played Reed Richards in Fantastic Four, the guy from Hannibal TV series, the guy who played Tig in Sons of Anarchy, the Dad from Cougar Town etc.
Also character actors like Jason Isaacs, William Fichtner and Sam Shepard.

Generation Kill is another excellent one.

@Nepia Eric Bana was pretty much any unknown then (outside of Aust/NZ and The Castle), and most probably thought he was from the US.
Oh yeah, I forgot that was his first overseas big role, according to wiki it was a year after Chopper and Russel Crowe recommended him to Ridley Scott.

Also, to be a pedant I did say supporting cast - I reckon Bana was one of the co-leads with Hartnett.

No you pack of dingbats, the equally if not cooler Michael Madsen was in it !
I bet those two did pretty much ALL the coke in Hollywood back in the day !
Mind you to be fair the first time I saw Heat I’d had a few beers ( and still being in my late teens I was a bit of a lightweight ) and coulda sworn Michael Madsen was in it
( no easily accessible internet available in 95/96 to check things immediately after a movie of course….)

Speaking of Michael Madsen ( yes, he definitely was in Reservoir Dogs ) it’s a damn shame the prequel involving him in Vincent Vega from Pulp Fiction never happened in the mid 90s. I have a feeling that would have been all sorts of awesome.
Both those guys have unfortunately been in an ungodly number of shit films. Madsen must be close to cracking a century of films, if not roared past it.

@Rancid-Schnitzel been discussed here before, but I think Eric Roberts must take the prize for the busiest dude in HOllywood?
Looks like he has been involved in 18 movies or series in 2023 already, and looks like 39 in 2022....
