Imitation weapons
According to Fred Williamson, the film was banned from using real weapons and used mock weapons shooting sparks http://www.slasherama.com/features/fred.HTML Foofbun 04:40, 20 April 2011 (CDT)
Not quite true - the ban only came into force during the later half of filming - I posted this in IMDB:
"In the interview with Quentin Tarantino for an 'extra' in the 2008 re-release of the film on DVD Enzo G. Castellari points out that several scenes had to be re-scripted and/or shot differently as during filming the Italian Government, in response to increasing activity by the terrorist Red Brigade, drafted a law prohibiting the holding of weapons (even blank firing 'prop' weapons) in case they fell into Red Brigade hands.The castle rescue scenes originally featured a massive shoot out, but were rewritten into the covert attack and escape featured, using knives, catapults and crossbows instead of firearms.The scene where Bo Svenson's character shoots the guards in the train lab was shot differently with a single squib at the end of the (fake) MP40 in the long shot, followed by a zoom into Bo's face with the sound of gunfire dubbed. Enzo G. Castellari threw spent rounds into shot to maintain the illusion of the weapon firing with the set electrician waving his hand in front of a lamp to simulate muzzle flash." AnthonyB 26/09/11
Sidearms
There were two scenes where German officers surrendered their sidearms, but none were over shown with any great details, and all that I could tell is that they weren't P38's or Lugers. --Funkychinaman 01:41, 30 January 2012 (CST)
the skinny dipping scene
I was wondering why Canfield (Fred Williamson) is such an idiot when they encounter the skinny dipping members of the SS-Helferinnen Korps? At least the 'white' members of his unit could pass for fellow German Soldiers as long as they did not speak, but a black man immediately elicited the cry of "American!" and the subsequent shooting of the MP40s by naked women. What did he expect? Or was he just so distracted by the sight of girls skinny dipping that he forgot where he was? That and like other movies like the Dirty Dozen, though politically correct to have a black soldier, it really makes NO SENSE if you want him to impersonate a German Army or Waffen SS. Movies where main characters do such stupid things draws me out of the film. :( MoviePropMaster2008 16:55, 12 June 2012 (CDT)
