Low budget, low vote

Pretty corny movie. I love Dorsette, though. He is all buff and running around the jungle with no shirt, one arming an M60, ammo criss crossed over his chest, awesome! The acting is so deliberate it is funny. But what I really love about movies like this one is the close attention to detail. Any Marine, if they could stomach the movie, must be reeling over the horrible uniforms. I have not come up with a date the M203 Grenade Launcher was introduced into service but I was surprised to see it in the movie, the M79 was it's predecessor used in Vietnam. The 203 may have appeared toward the end of the war, the time this movie may have been set. You also have to appreciate all those well aimed shots as guys are running, turning and firing from the hip are beautiful! Whoever was the "Military Adviser" on this one should go spend some time with Dale Dye! Well, that's not fair, but wouldn't hurt. I'm sure whoever it was they did not set out to do a bad job. It may have been deliberate, who knows. If it weren't for movies like this one there wouldn't be anything to compare good ones to.
