My brother Adam and I were extras on this movie set. (We were in the climactic big shoot 'em up scene at the end when Nicky Katt brought Michael Nouri the bloody shoes) Viggo was really nice to us and went as far as to sit with us for a couple of meals during the shoot. Very cool guy. Who knew he would eventually play Aragorn in the Lord Of The Rings trilogy?? I read Huckleberry Finn between takes, sheltering myself from grips and prop masters under a wardrobe trailer. Cool huh? Good times........yep. Good times. One thing of interest was watching Mr. Mortenson work up the emotion to do the scene where he had to carry his dead partner down the stairs to the waiting throng of police. He was very convincing in the actual scene, and the process of watching him prep himself for the scene (on an emotional level) was absolutely fascinating.
