1968 Tunnel Rats is the latest film directed by 'infamous director' Uwe Boll. The film was originally titled Tunnel Rats. The film was screened at film festivals in Canada and Germany and had a limited theatrical run in Los Angeles at the Downtown Independent Theatre on December 20th, 2008. The 'official' release date for the film in the U.S. was supposed to be March 13th, 2009, however that release date got pushed back, despite being released elsewhere in the world on DVD. Now the U.S. DVD will be available for wide release on Jun 30, 2009.
Like usual, there is a lot to criticize in the film, though the film itself has mixed reviews (some reviewers actually think Boll is getting better(!)) But there was not a lot of thought put into the costuming and gear for the film. The Soldiers wear modern BDUs in O.D., their shoulder patches are bright and not subdued (subdued insignia was common by 1968) and the helmet covers are Woodland BDU, not the Nam leaf pattern which is correct for Vietnam.
The following guns were used in the movie "1968 Tunnel Rats"
M1911A1
Unknown shotgun
- Hey Gunmaster45. Any idea what shotgun this is?
XM177
M654
M16
M16A1
Armi Jager M16
MGC M16
- Visible are obviously ModelGun Corp M16 replica rifles.
M16A2
M60
M79
Browning M2 Heavy Barrel Machine Gun
AK-47
Type 84
- Rather anachronistically, the NVA soldiers use Norinco Type 84S (5.56mm) AK rifles.
