Oh, I know it’s going to look different from what I remember and that I’ve forgotten key details.
But the memory of what was happening is burned into my brain because it was so visceral when I saw it:
A young, short soldier (played by someone who I’ve seen play lots of soldiers - think a male Michelle Rodriguez) volunteers to climb out of an entrenched position while people are shooting at the whole group, and walks, casually, without any cover, away from the enemy and towards a place where explosives have been clustered. He is holding a giant CB radio and has it set to the frequency of the explosives’ trigger and just needs to get close enough for them to go off.just speaking into the radio at that frequency will do it, so he’s yelling and cursing at the explosives to go off. He keeps getting hit on his extremities, but he doesn’t duck or cover, he just keeps slowly walking away from the firing. At the climax of the scene, he’s bleeding and limping and just yelling “blow!” Into the radio. A bullet goes right through his chest and he falls to his knees. He screams “Blow!” One last time and the explosives go off.
Every few months I remember this scene all over again and I’m tired of not knowing what it was from. I caught it while flipping channels on a TV with basic cable in a house I moves out of in the summer of 2000. So it had to be a movie made in the late 1990s at the latest.
I can’t remember anything beyond that.
