If you ever get the chance, pick up a rental video of the 1970 yawner-Adventure flick The Adventurers, based on a Harold Robbins novel that at least had Ernie Borgnine in a supporting role as *FatCat*.
Partially filmed in Colombia, the helpful Colombian military lent some troops as extras for a couple of battle scenes, and some armored vehicles for the grand battle of the revolutionaries taking over the National Palace in the capitol city of *Corteguay.* Unfortunately, the movie makers had brought the wrong blank ammo for the 7mm Mauser rifles used by the Colombian army at that time... No problemo, Señor; the officers in charge told their soldados to fire at each other using live ammo, but to just *miss over the heads by a little bit...*
Which they for the most part obediently did, but for one poor goof who took a hit on-camera and tumbled off the hillside perch where he'd looked so realistic! as he fell.... In fact, it looked sooooogood that they left it in the film. Now THAT is putting yourself into your part!
In the city scene with the armored cars, the extras portraying the revolutionary mob intent on stringing up the dictator bypass the street guarded by the cars' roadblock and slip around via the beach instead.
After the movie's completion and the actors had returned to Hollywood, the fraudulent election of Misael Pastrana Borrero in 1970 [in Colombia, not Hollywood] resulted in the defeat of the relatively populist candidate Gustavo Rojas Pinilla, followed by mass demonstrations that resulted in a State of Siege after the mob, you guessed it, evaded major streets blocked by military vehicles and instead came up the beach....
Unfortunately, Santafé de Bogotá, the capitol of Colombia, unlike fictional *Corteguay* is located in the country's interior, far from such helpful beaches. And Borrero and his National Front party stayed in power until 1974.
