Nobody Should’ve Died
Spoiler alert: approximately 70 minutes into the film, three of the greedy American servicemen — Corporal Job, Private Grace, and Private Mitchell – are killed in action as a result of a friendly fire attack on their positions. Two of them are killed by German gunfire, while the other two are killed by a mine explosion. Following the incident, Sutherland expressed his unhappiness with the outcome, adding, “No one was killed.” In any case, they weren’t supposed to die in the original script, but some idiot producer […] insisted that there had to be deaths, and so there were. Although Brian [G. Hutton] didn’t want to fight, he had no choice; money required it, and Brian ended up handing him a minefield.”
