Why It Crackles

Movie Details

An underrated film about an unpopular war.

- For Michael J. Fox’s shots, Sean Penn would be telling him that he was just a little TV actor and nothing more, to get genuine reactions for director Brian De Palma.

- According to John Leguizamo in his autobiography, the scene in which Penn’s character Meserve smacks his character, Diaz, took 14 takes and Penn really smacked him every time.

- A quote from Michael J. Fox's character was sampled in the song "Madagascar" in the Guns N' Roses album Chinese Democracy.
