JAMES WOODS

But the director made his quest as difficult as possible by telling locals Woods was a mass murderer with a loaded gun and should not be picked up.

Woods tells Blender magazine, "I'm out there and nobody's picking me up. I'm belligerent, wandering around the desert.

"Finally (co-star) JOHN SAVAGE flew out in a helicopter and brought me back."

But Woods and Stone failed to resolve their differences.

The actor adds, "We did another scene at the Guatemalan border where a guy puts a gun to my head and pulls the trigger. I'll never forget kneeling there.

"My hands are behind my back. The guy puts the gun to my head and I hear him say, 'Esta un blanca,' and I go, 'F**king blanca? That's a blank. What, woah, wait, hold on.'

"Oliver tells me to shut up. So I grabbed the gun, raised it in the air, pulled the trigger, and the blank went off. I was four seconds from being killed."
