Over half these guys hadn't really "made it" yet when Black Hawk Down came out or were on the cusp. I swear that every time I watch Black Hawk Down a new actor jumps out at me that I go "Holy shit, I didn't know they were in this movie!"

@cyrusoccult so true OP. I was thinking of this when I watched it again for the 100th time a few weeks ago when I finally saw Tom Hardy

Except for Josh Hartnett. He was approached for the Dark Knight trilogy before Bale, but he turned it down. You don't come back after that.

He's one of the first to die. He has a longish scene when they're back at the base. I did a double take too

I love the soundtrack and bought it. Orlando Bloom did the movie after shooting LOTR 1st year, but before it came out in theatres.

"more fun" would be less...

No it wouldn't. "Funner" - 6 characters. "More fun" - 8.

The people were based off of real people in black hawk down, so did you want them to change their races to be politically correct?
