Did You Know?
| Trivia | Originally, the men were going to play touch football, but Bill Paxton felt the scene was too similar to the volleyball scene in Top Gun (1986). So he suggested that they play golf instead. Most of the golf sequence was directed by Paxton with a second unit crew. See more » |
| Goofs | During Graham's Wedding the team is paged out to go out on a mission thus ruining the wedding. Every Navy Seal team is put on rotation so they know more or less when they are going out on a mission. Any Navy Seal team member will know this ahead of time, so he would not schedule his wedding around the the same time he's on rotation. See more » |
