WWE News: Mr. Kennedy comments on his training background for WWE's "Behind Enemy Lines" DVD released today (w/VIDEO) Jan 6, 2009 - 1:48:20 PM
Mr. Kennedy's role in WWE's first direct-to-DVD movie release, "Behind Enemy Lines: Colombia" was essentially to shoot guns, attempt funny dialogue, and blow up things.
Kennedy's background in the U.S. Army Reserve certainly helped prepare for his role in the movie, which is out on DVD today.
"I had gun training in the past," Kennedy told movieweb.com on the set while filming in Puerto Rico. He said he was a security guard for a nuclear plant (prior to being a full-time wrestler) and he was trained on extensive weapons use for his job.
"I've learned quite a few moves from Mr. Kennedy, yeah, he's a pro," said co-star Channon Roe.
Video Selection below: A full rundown of the movie from director Tim Matheson, who describes all of the blowing-up and such. Also, a brief sit-down with Mr. Kennedy from movieweb.com.
