EW: On the career tragedy scale, do you consider your participation in Operation Dumbo Drop to be more of a four- or five-alarm fire?

DL: I consider it to be a massive piece of property in Connecticut, which is what I used the money from it to buy. The movie was so painstakingly terrible — because it took a long time to shoot — that all of us actually had pictures of the things that we were gonna buy with our money to keep us going. I had a picture of this property in Connecticut. Ray Liotta had a picture of a house that he was building outside L.A., and Danny Glover had a picture of a property in San Francisco he was gonna buy. That's how we would get through it.

The film may have been difficult to make but it was also rather painful to watch.

I liked it. I don't get the criticism it receives. Vietnam movies don't always have to anti-war America hating movies.

Please, give me a break. He's made worse movies and tv than this. This movie wasn't bad
