In an interview with a channel, Leonardo revealed that he used the real flamethrower in the movie to burn the group of stuntmen dressed as Nazis. The actor said, “The first day I used that was a really hard day. All the greatest stuntmen in this town’s history showed up for that Nazi convention. It was amazing. I really had to blast them with a real flamethrower and torch all of them.” He continued, “That heat just wafted right back into my face. I started to get chronic headaches that day. I knew the flamethrower thing was coming back up again, but that was in the opener, thank God.”
