 Despite those named in the credits, the film went through another  draft by Kevin Jarre (qv). In one draft, Hawkins  (Charlie Sheen (qv)) sacrifices himself to rescue Curran  (Michael Biehn (qv)), who ends up with the love interest. In  another version, Curran is killed off rescuing some kids, and  Hawkins and Claire Varrens (Joanne Whalley (qv)) are left to mourn  his passing. Also in one of those drafts, Curran is an accomplished  boxer who squares off in a fight with Hawkins, whos into karate.  The golf sequence in the film was a concession when the films leads  objected to a _Top Gun (1986)_ (qv)
