Charlie Sheen and Michael Biehn revisit their wild times on the set of Navy Seals

Navy Seals reunion

80s action star Michael Biehn hosts his own podcast series titled Just Foolin’ About with Michael Biehn and he’s had the opportunity to interview peers like Roger Avary, Michael Rooker, Tim Colceri, Rick Rossovich and even James Cameron. In a recent episode, Biehn reunites with Charlie Sheen and the two reminisce about co-starring in the 1990 film Navy Seals. They reveal how they thought the studio held no premiere for the movie because they might’ve known “they had a dog on their hands.” Despite their feelings on the film, Sheen brought up how it still had a great influence on a generation of servicemen and women. Sheen would expound how writer Jack Carr told him that people in the military would quote lines while on the frontlines.

Wrangling in Biehn

While talking about the movie, Biehn giddily pushes Sheen to tell the story about getting a call from Mike Medavoy, who ran Orion Pictures — the studio that produced Navy Seals. Sheen explained in an anecdote,

Yeah, I got a call from Mike. And it was about you. He said ‘[Biehn] is going rogue. He’s doing more harm than good,’ essentially. I’m paraphrasing, you know. And I said, ‘Ok. What’s the next move? How do we fix this?’ And he says, ‘Well, I just know one thing. If this behavior keeps up, we’re just gonna fire him without pay.’ And I was like, ‘Wow! That’s fu*kin harsh, man!’”

Biehn followed up by asking Sheen if he was told to straighten up Biehn’s behavior. Sheen answered affirmatively,

I think you’re right. I think there was some mention of ‘Can you talk to this fu*king guy?! If he doesn’t get his sh*t together, we’re just gonna fire him without pay!’ I remember that expression, that term, and he said it with such finality. Such arrogance, you know?”

Biehn added in laughter,

And we’ve talked about this before. Last time, you told me you thought, ‘Where in my job description…? Why am I the Michael Biehn wrangler?!’

The two former co-stars would continue to laugh about the absurdity of the situation.

Biehn and Cameron sound off on Alien 3

Not long ago, Biehn would also have James Cameron on an episode of his podcast and the two would speak on the shocking killing of the beloved Aliens characters at the start of Alien 3. “I thought that was the stupidest f*cking thing,” said Cameron, adding, “so you build a lot of goodwill So, you build a lot of goodwill around the characters of you know, Hicks, Newt and Bishop, and then the first thing they do in the in the next film is kill them all off, right? Really smart guys, you know, and replace them with a bunch of f**king convicts that you hate. And want to see die. Really clever. Now, I’m a big fan of Fincher and his work and all that. And that was his first feature film, and he was getting vectored around by a lot of other voices and all that. So, I give him a free pass on that one.”
