Jesse ventura and the indian were by far the two most likeable characters in that team. The black guy that WASN’T apollo was pretty cool too.

I rank it like this:

indian
cowboy (jesse ventura)
gritty black guy
everyone else

Hell, that movie was darn near a john wayne flick...but without a john wayne or a suitable substitute.

The Indian was a rare fellow. One of the very few professional male porn stars who made the transition to legitimate films. He also played Billy Bear in “48 Hours” with Nick Nolte. Good actor back in the 80s..

>>>Also in my opinion the single most impressive 30-second show of hand-held firepower ever on screen when firing blindly into the jungle.

I enjoy it also, but we aren’t supposed to. That scene was intended to be satirical of American gun culture, a video sneer. The director was amazed when audiences loved it.
