SURVIVAL QUEST was Don Coscarelli's exploitation of my Merc School. I had advised on one of his earlier films, and he was interested in doing a film about paramilitaries chasing some tourists out west.
I have him actual info on my school, and his writers split our one school into two, a "good" survival course, and a "bad" paramilitary training course, in order to have a conflict between them.
Coscarelli even went so far as to recreate scenes of our training taken from "60 Minutes" videotape.
If you combine the good and bad schools of the movie, you have an idea of what Merc School was really like.
For Merc School grads, SURVIVAL QUEST is both tribute and comedy.
