SAMUEL L JACKSON - JACKSON'S S.W.A.T. TRAINING

Movie hardman SAMUEL L JACKSON loved training with real police teams for his new movie S.W.A.T. - because he got to shoot real guns at real targets.

The PULP FICTION star joined COLIN FARRELL and MICHELLE RODRIGUEZ for the high-octane action thriller, and had to train with real police S.W.A.T. teams in preparation for the high octane role.

He says, "We got to shoot all those weapons with real bullets in them at real targets, so we could actually hit them. We learnt how to enter and exit buildings, how to clear rooms, how to cover each other, how to find people who'd hidden from us.

"Only problem was we had flak jackets on and all this stuff - it was like running around with a 12-year-old kid on your back.

"The one thing that they do that we didn't have to do is they have to run four-minute miles all the time. They had to run four-minute miles every week or something. We weren't going to do that!"
