| + | In watching the documentary in the special features, it was stated that after winning Best Picture for Platoon, "Oliver Stone could have made any movie he wanted."

He wasn't looking to gross $70 million, but it did anyway. This wasn't even meant to be Oliver Stone's baby. He had already done that with Platoon.
