“Look at that explosion!”
says Heald with a laugh. "
You know how much staff is on a yacht?
Kreese took out like 30 people…
They were covered in gasoline!”
Adds Hurwitz, “We all assumed when filming that the guys died as a result of that.”
“We even had Marty there to reach in with his hand and pick up the magazine.
While filming it, we knew that it was ridiculous and would not make the cut.”
Nothing survives that."
