Look at this classic poster which shows the famous Sgt. Elias's "arm-raising" scene. Pockets of fake blood intended to simulate gunshot wounds to Sgt. Elias's body malfunctioned and never exploded. However, Willem Dafoe's performance in that take was considered so impressive that the scene was left as is.
What a strange/bold decision to NOT-RETAKE, considering most directors would do otherwise.
Used to not comprehend, now I appreciate no blood to go with that particular scene. If bloody I will be distracted, like distracted by the babes along the roadside while driving peacefully.
Maybe I have aged.
