Weapons coordinator Robert "Rock" Galotti amassed over 500 vintage World War II-era firing weapons and 700 rubber replica weapons for the film from private collectors and prop houses. Also featured moving across battlefields are vintage Sherman tanks, their smaller Stuart brethren, and Japanese Hago tanks.
Roger Willie was originally hired as a dialect coach to the cast on the Navajo language. But his screen tests were so good, they ended up casting him opposite Christian Slater.
To add authenticity, MGM bought some genuine World War II-vintage radios from Samuel M. Hevener, a collector from Ohio.
Prior to filming, most of the principal cast joined a core group of sixty-two extras for boot camp, where they endured a week of rigorous military training as World War II Marines. The production received assistance from the Department of Defense, which made Kaneohe Marine Corps Base available for the actor's basic training. Under the tutelage of Sergeant Major James D. Dever (a retired twenty-five-year veteran of the Marine Corps) and his active-duty Marine instructors, the cast learned how to walk, talk, and think like Marines.
Nicolas Cage actually learned to speak Najavo fluently for his part, despite the fact that his character in the film does not. Cage later said that he did it to better understand the script, but John Woo maintained that Cage had misunderstood the character for which he had been cast.
"Charlie Whitehorse: [explaining to Ben why he enlisted] Didn't want your white brothers thinking you were the best we had."
"Private Ben Yahzee: Radio Man: [to Private Ben Yahzee] Private Ben Yahzee: Remember Marine, ours is not to question why, ours is but to do or die. Semper Fi. Over"
