Entertainment Weekly    August 31, 1990  Television Source: Movie News & Notes  Melina Gerosa, Christopher Henrikson  CURRENT EVENTS In Hollywood, gas prices aren't the only things being changed by Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait. The makers of the upcoming action- thriller Team 6 have already begun revising their script to incorporate the latest Middle East developments. Now, instead of attacking a missile base in a generic Arab nation, the movie's Navy SEAL team will invade Iraq to disable chemical weapons aimed at U.S. ships in the Persian Gulf. But this is not the only effect the gathering of troops in the Middle East has had on moviemakers. The currently-in-release Navy SEALs has been promoted with an ad campaign linked to the recent military action (in efforts to drum up business for the poorly received film), and several other companies, including Walt Disney, are now developing features that focus on similar events. Meanwhile, Team 6 director Shimon Dotan is already on location overseas gearing up for his film's mid-September shoot. Rob Lowe, Gale Hansen, and Jan-Michael Vincent have been drafted for the mission. © Time, Inc., 1990  p 25

- Two other first-week rental fireballs are Problem Child (at No. 6) and Navy SEALs (at No. 12). These are perfect examples of the kind of movies that everybody seems to wait to see on video- both were critically panned theatrical flops.
