  • Its cool what you can find on You Tube, what great fun it was to work on the Thin Red Line. I was in Able Squad and picked up the nick name Hacksaw. Chilbury you got some great memory's in this film of your. I will have to pull up the photos I have on my computer at home and make a slide show to post.

    Hacksaw.

  • @shastagrowersnurswey Hacksaw how are ya dude wow been years mate!! i remember you lol i was in Core 2 with Trencher ahh the good old days lol

  • I just watched your clip and remember some of the faces as I was there also.Great memories. I was swapping jobs as a film extra and as a driver for the actors ,cast,crew and extras.

    The caterers did a fantastic job in the conditions they worked!

    I had a great time and met so many terrific people.All I managed to get was a great photo in front of the plane on the airstrip kitted out and a section of a actors script which was left behind in the car. Security was pretty strict.

  • Yeah that was a time ago now,  i wish Youtube didnt kill my original song it was the doors "this is the end"

  • Did you meet Terrence Malick?

  • yes i did very cool guy.

  • Yes, I am Australian. I lived in Cairns for about 13 years and left not long after the movie was finished. I helped with driving down some of the equipment after the party at the Sheraton Mirage to Movie World on the Gold Coast. I think you did a great job with the clip and the music.

    Where are you from and are still involved in the industry in some way?

  • how do you get to be an extra in movies like this? is it something you apply for or is it more of a 'who you know' thing?

  • i was there also.

    spent all the time in the river or smoking the shitty cigarettes.

    only ended up there when i met two mates on the way back from the woolshed to captain cooks in cairns,i was pissed and thought we were going for a drive.

    when the dude is cleaning the stretcher in the water im the guy walking away throuhg the water...famous.

    managed to fall asleep on a stretcher for most of one day also get carried back and forth through all that grass.

    sean penn...what a cock!

  • I envy you.
