Was the budget really $6 million dollars?

The movie was extremely gritty and no attempt was made to choreograph or glamorize war is probably the reason for the low budget

Orion films tended to be low budget. Having said that Platoon is one of the greatest and most iconic films ever made.

No.

Nothing can be $6 million dollars.

Think about what you are saying; what does the "$" signify?

So you are asking if the budget was "Six million dollars dollars"??

Come on, you should know better. Why put the 'dollars' there two times separately?

So one of the best films of all time cost 10% of the budget of one episode of Rings of Dogshit.

For some perspective, the budget for "Aliens" (1986) was $18.5 million. Top Gun was $15 million.

Yep

most of that was oliver stone's lsd.

film was not too much expense. military equipment all come from philippines army (who use 60s era american military hardwear in 80s). actors were train out in jungle and did not have trailer etc.

it is good film but vietnam not real war so film is not interest. ww2 film much better. that was real war.
