:That's the bad thing about Vietnam War movies. We still didn't have a Band of Brothers or Saving Private Ryan of the Vietnam War. We really need it. None of that Platoon, Casualties of War Anti-war bullshit. I want one like Band of Brothers were they just show US Grunts living through out 1968 in the middle of the Vietnam War without any political shit. Just show me a accurate depiction of the US Involvement of the Vietnam War, Dammit!-[[User:Oliveira|Oliveira]] 17:39, 20 July 2009 (UTC) | :That's the bad thing about Vietnam War movies.

::Hamburger Hill and We Were Soldiers are good. They're anti-war, but they show soldiers who are brave, tough, dedicated to the job and to each other.

:::I have seen the above movies, but I haven't seen Hamburger Hill in nearly 20 years. The closest you will get to ''Band Of Brothers'' or ''The Pacific'' in Vietnam would be the TV series ''Tour Of Duty''. The only really notable politics on the war was an episode where some of the unit went to Hawaii on R&R and they were abused by the citizens. An interesting perspective from a taxi driver who drove the men around, who was of Japanese descent and was interned in WW2, forces them to wonder what they are fighting for. ''Wraith'' | |||

M16 Three prong flash hiders
Anyone else notice that these three pronged flash hiders look weird? They sweep down at TOO sharp of an angle. That is why I thought they were Adler-Jager AP-74 rifles previously. Or possibly the South African Armorers just took the flash hiders off of the AP-74 rifles and retapped them to mount on the M16 Rifles. MoviePropMaster2008 20:08, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
Lame uniforms and gear
What makes me ticked off, is that I could have outfitted this entire movie ACCURATELY with what I have in my closet! Arghhhhh. I am also a collector of Vietnam era militaria (US and Enemy forces). MoviePropMaster2008 04:29, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
Boring as hell
That is probably the only thing I can say about this movie. Just... What was the story? Was there one? I couldn't guess it, I saw it 3 times! -protoAuthor

DVD cover
I was at the rentals the other day and I saw this DVD on the racks. I picked it up, noticed the soldier on the cover was holding an M4A1 CARBINE and then my fingers started to burn from holding the case too long so I put it down. Really dumb error there I gotta say. - Gunmaster45
This movie was shot and filmed in SOUTH AFRICA
That's why the American GREEN uniforms look so wrong. They're the same 'green uniforms' that the Cubans and Russians wore in Red Scorpion hahahahaha!. Everything is wrong about this movie MoviePropMaster2008
