Don't waste your time watching this rubbish. Horrible movie likened to a high school project.
The 'jungle' is clearly not anywhere in Asia. The vegetation looks very much like that seen in state parks of southern California.
Everything that could be wrong with the props is wrong.... wrong uniforms for the US soldiers, wrong style of clothes for the Vietnamese enemy who were neither dressed as an NVA or a Viet Cong. The types of weapons were all wrong. Type of helicopter was wrong as was it's colors (blue and white ???).... everything wrong. Why oh why are there automatic weapons being fired and not a single spent round ejected ?
How does the smoke from a damaged helicopter engine (located under the spinning rotors) just drift off to one side like a smokey campfire ??
Almost none of the alleged Vietnamese actually looked Vietnamese at all. The casting of the "Vietnamese" was a poor effort... They were all carrying way too many pounds of flesh. The north Vietnamese were on a near starvation diet during the war... They were malnourished and skinny.
The acting was very poor. Sounded more like they were reading off cue card.
The action scenes were poorly choreographed... For crying out loud... what incompetent soldiers would ever take on close armed battle without cover while sitting or standing while firing and doing it in the open??? And at perhaps a mere 15 metres apart, how could any shot fired from a rifle actually miss ?? Oh and BTW... it is physically impossible to use your arm to crawl away after a 7.62mm bullet hits the shoulder joint... and further..... No exit wound ???? The projectile at close range would go straight through the shoulder joint leaving a major cavity on the way out.!!
The story was rubbish and there was no suspense of "edge of your seat" moments at anytime. Story was very slow.
This is a very poor amateur production and should only be viewed as learning material of how NOT to make a war movie.
