Production
edit
Bravo 5 received the support of Ministry of Defense and Malaysian Army.
The pre-launch of this film was made on 9 April 2012. The film changed director three times: Fauzi Nawawi,[9] Saudi Khalid and finally Yeop Hitler.[10] Five key actors underwent intensive training for two weeks at a commando base at Camp Sungai Udang, Malacca.[11] Twelve stunt people were brought from Singapore and China. Approximately 65 to 70 percent of the film's action involved the services of 120 soldiers of the Malaysian Armed Forces.
Screenwriter Major Zainal Hayat revised the script as many as 26 times for the quality and originality of the story to be conveyed. "It took me quite a while to set up this script. The first draft only took three weeks to complete, unchanged since June 2007."[12] The filming took place in National Monument, Singapore, Malacca.[13] The film was originally scheduled to be released in 2013 before being pulled in 2014.[14] It finally premiered in 2015.
