Breakthrough and Brass Target

Line 27:		Line 27:
	I've looked into purchasing them, Breakthrough is only available on VHS. Though it boasts a fine cast, it is a god-awful B-movie, made worse by the fact that it's meant to be a sequel to Cross of Iron! I think everyone involved in it tried their best to forget it! Brass target is available in the UK (where I am) but only on imported DVD, which are a bit expensive for this film. I've got some other, easier films on DVD that I can work on, maybe further down the line I can get better quality Screencaps for these two films! Cheers for the reply! --[[User:Maskedweasel\|Maskedweasel]] ([[User talk:Maskedweasel\|talk]]) 11:23, 5 June 2014 (EDT)		I've looked into purchasing them, Breakthrough is only available on VHS.

	:It's odd that they'd attempt a sequel to ''Cross of Iron'' with an entirely new cast just two years after the original. I can't think of any other sequel that did that. The closest I could think of is ''The Guns of Navarone'' and ''Force 10 from Navarone'', but those two were seventeen years apart, so it made sense. ''The Dirty Dozen'' and its sequel were eighteen years apart, brought back the same cast, and wow, it showed. --[[User:Funkychinaman\|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman\|talk]]) 12:31, 5 June 2014 (EDT)		:It's odd that they'd attempt a sequel to ''Cross of Iron'' with an entirely new cast just two years after the original.

			It is odd especially as "Cross of Iron" was a box office flop, but maybe Andrew V. McLaglen thought he could do it, he was on a roll at this point, knocking out successful action films but he was wrong! (He also is a repeat offender as he pulled this same stunt with the equally awful Return to the river Kwai in the 80's) This brings me on to a quandry I had about writing the page for Breakthrough. The begining of the film has sequences taken directly from Cross of Iron and the Battle of Neretva. Do you have to list all the weapons shown or can you be as lazy as the filmakers and just direct people to the original films for these segments? --[[User:Maskedweasel\|Maskedweasel]] ([[User talk:Maskedweasel\|talk]]) 15:30, 5 June 2014 (EDT)
	: The screenshots are passable, but you need to crop the screenshot below so there are no black areas. Also, it's best to display this and your other screenshots at only 500px because of the quality. Also it is best to rename your files with the title of the film or television show first. --[[User:Ben41\|Ben41]] ([[User talk:Ben41\|talk]]) 14:12, 5 June 2014 (EDT)		: The screenshots are passable, but you need to crop the screenshot below so there are no black areas.
