Surprised they couldn’t find a Renault FT floating around. Though to be honest fuck it we got M4s and M3s to spare for movie productions is a flex for sure

the explosion work is really impressive because they're like actual blasts and not giant fireballs which is probably a function of not being in color?

For me what really sells it is the shrapnel and blast hitting the camera. It's legitimately a concerning amount of shrapnel from some of the grenade blasts

I've always loved how in one shot you see John Wayne get actually bounced up in the air by one of the explosions.
