Here in Indianapolis. I had totally forgotten Clint's reference to being a survivor of the USS Indianapolis. There is a memorial here on the downtown canal to the USS Indianapolis. I tried to appreciate the movie for it being as current and realistic as possible for 1975 adventure film. No CGI. Only one explosion. haha. But plenty of rifle and pistol fire, with some javelin spearing included! If you've already seen it years ago I would recommend an IMAX screen viewing.
