<P> The opening Central American scene was filmed at the Miami Glider Port southwest of Miami , Florida . Later African country scenes were filmed in Belize City , Belize , and the surrounding area . The manually - turned swinging bridge shown during the attack is one of the largest of its kind in the world . The film features several weapons that were prominent in popular culture during the 1980s . The Uzi submachine guns used in the film ( changed from the German Second World War vintage MP 40s of the novel ) were a mix of real Uzis and set - dressed Ingram Mac - 10s . Shannon 's grenade launcher , depicted in the promotional poster , dubbed the `` XM - 18 '' in the film , is a Manville gun -- a design later used by the MM - 1 grenade launcher . </P>
