Scene was shot Beckton Gasworks was a major London gasworks built to manufacture coal gas and other products including coke from coal. It has been variously described as the largest gas works in Europe. It operated from 1870 to 1976. The Vietnam scenes for the movie were shot first before the actors had to film the bootcamp. Matthew Modine told The Guardian during an interview about filming: “I was never certain why we shot the film backwards, but I knew we had to be out of Beckton gasworks by a certain date because it was scheduled for demolition.”
