The Dirty Dozen: Next Mission (1985)

The Dirty Dozen: The Next Mission is a 1985 made-for-television sequel to The Dirty Dozen. Lee Marvin returns as Major John Reisman (despite the 18-year gap between films) as he leads another group of American misfits on a dangerous mission behind enemy lines. Also returning from the original film are Ernest Borgnine and Richard Jaeckel. The success of this film led to two more sequels: Dirty Dozen: The Deadly Mission and The Dirty Dozen: The Fatal Mission.


The following weapons were used in the film The Dirty Dozen: Next Mission:


MP40

The new Dozen use MP40's on their mission. A few of the German soldiers are seen with them as well, but they mostly use K98's.
