To: do the dhue

Some years ago, Gene Hackman was filming a movie scene in Mexico.
Members of the Mexican Army were being used as extras and the scene involved having them shoot Hackman.
Hackman, just before the filming began, insisted on checking the weapons of the army extras himself. Someone had forgotten to give them blanks and they all had live rounds in their weapons.

I as on an ROTC excercise once where we found live rounds on a belt of M-60 blanks. Fortunatly they were found before they were fired.
