John McTiernan feels there's a fascination among audiences about seeing guns being fired, so he added the scene of the remaining team members firing blindly into the jungle for a couple minutes. "What I was really doing was to quietly ridicule the desire to see pictures of guns firing. All of this is sort of a moral separate peace here, and in order to do it I set up the circumstance where there were no human beings in front of the guns. In fact the point of all the firing was, as the man says as soon as they stop shooting, 'We hit nothing.' The whole point was the impotence of all the guns. Which was the exact opposite of what believe I was being hired to sell." He points out that he did the same thing in Die Hard (1988).
