Jesse Ventura once quipped, "Gary Goldman was a former Green Beret and technical advisor on this film. He and I went down to the set a week early before shooting began, and the two of us started teaching [the cast and crew] how to properly patrol. Gary set me as the rear security so I could watch and critique everyone when we were done at the end." Jesse would go on to say that he feels proud for what they did because many military fans of the movie would come up to him and acknowledge just how authentic the patrolling was due to the actor's spacing. But Jesse also noted that he had to constantly fight the director ( John McTiernan ) over it, and that he had to learn that proper military spacing wasn't good for filming. He would further explain, "I had to learn that we were filming a Hollywood movie and not a documentary - this wasn't a Navy Seal training video." So, a compromise was made where even though each patrol member couldn't properly be separated by 10 meters from one another that they also wouldn't be so huddled together in broad daylight where a single enemy could take out half of the platoon with one bullet.
