In the future world described by David Webb Peoples , people are selected as occupations at birth, and those soldiers who serve the country are turned into murderous machines without humanity and emotions. However, with the rapid advancement of technology, future fighters are bound to face The bad luck of being eliminated and destroyed. Producer Jerry Weintraub said: "Just like the weapons that are constantly being updated today, the future soldiers in the film cannot escape the fate of being replaced by recruits, and this replacement means abandonment. The military leaders ignore their inherent human characteristics. Therefore, the film has moral meaning."
In 1993, Weintraub saw a script called "Soldier", and he was so attracted that he immediately bought the script from producer David Lawrence Geffen . David Webb Peoples completed the script of "Soldier" as early as 1991 , and the famous scripts that created the classic science fiction film "2020" and the Oscar best film "No Mercy" are also his concurrent works. "Soldier" is being integrated. All the elements of these two scripts.
In the eyes of the producers, there are very few directors who have the ability to control the film, and Paul Edward Anderson is the first choice. Weintraub said: "Paul's vision for this film not only met my expectations, but also fully extended and exerted. He is good at this kind of film, and he can create dazzling and magnificent images." When the company met for the first time, Anderson was asked who should play the protagonist Todd. His first reaction was Kurt Russell , which happened to coincide with the producer's idea. Anderson said: "The reason why we think Kurt is the best candidate to play Todd is because he is a first-rate actor with both acting skills and physical ability. This is very important to the film. From the state of the machine to almost a mental breakdown and finally to perfect the evolution of the adult, and during this period, he could not say how he felt. "Although Russell has to perform some special effects in the film himself, he can play the real thing in the film. The challenge lies in performances with few lines, which is not small for actors and directors. Russell said: "I firmly believe that as long as there is a sense of true feelings, it will be revealed in the performance, and the audience will naturally understand the heart of the character. Feel."
In the film, Todd is discarded on a junk planet. The surface of the planet is piled with various non-degradable garbage such as airplane parts, trains, Satellite antennas, and mechanical waste. It is here that Todd retrieves his long-lost humanity. And start a life and death duel with Kane who came to destroy the entire planet. David L. Snyder, the art director responsible for creating the landscape of the junk planet, said: “The junk planet must look huge and have a sense of warmth and friendliness. This is the key to the design work. From this I thought of the 1960 "Sea " Kakuen Paradise" , in the film, the family who was shipwrecked and left on a deserted island must work together to survive while using the island’s convenient conditions to resist pirates. "Soldier" is exactly the same, except that old-fashioned aircraft parts and abandoned Satellite antennas replace palm leaves. And coconut.” The crew began to build the main set 65 days before the start of the film. In order to complete the work on time, the crew had to work day and night every day. The four-story outpost set in the film was completed in Studio 16 of the Warner Bros. Studio. It is one of the largest outdoor studio sets in history. Snyder also thought of reusing the props from Warner Bros.'s previous films, including the F-117 stealth bomber in "Executive Decision " , the wheelchair in "Demolition Man " , the spinning car in "2020" and "Tango & Cash" " In the vehicle and so on.
The giant armored car named "Creeper" in the film is not a model special effect, but a genuine prop car. Director Anderson recalled: “As the armored personnel carrier of the future, these two'crawlers' are the largest prop vehicles. We had two choices: either make a model or build it. We finally chose the latter because The actors can influence each other, and the audience will feel the sense of reality from the heavy car body." The "crawler" adopts the Caterpillar 777 mining truck's chassis, transmission system and suspension system, and the body is made of wood, fiberglass and metal. become. In addition to one main gun, the "Creeper" is also equipped with two. The 50-caliber Browning Machine Gun and the 10,000-watt Nightsun searchlight, the latter often appearing on police helicopters. The individual equipment in the film is equally powerful. Armorer Jared Chandler said: “We used a rapid-fire machine gun equipped on a military helicopter. In order to facilitate carrying, we shortened the barrel and adjusted it. It has a firing system and a machine gun strap, but even so, it still weighs about 90 pounds. This machine gun has a rate of fire of 60 rounds per second, and within a minute, its fire range is enough to cover a target the size of a football field."

    Hey, the director is Paul WS Anderson from the "Resident Evil" series. It reminds me of R Emmerich's remake fighter with similar themes. I saw many familiar faces, especially Uncle Jason Isaacs, who had a moustache and played the villain but he was very handsome. It's a pity In the end, Uncle Kurt was scared to pee. Uncle Kurt has very few lines in the film, probably only a dozen lines.
