- GoofsThe squad is attacked by an enemy plane and Pvt. Slade is supposedly fatally wounded, but as he lies in the dirt, it's perceptible that he's still breathing; also, his eyelids flutter. Pvt. Russo rushes over and lies on top of Pvt. Slade, feeling for a pulse and declares "He's had it" and tears off the dog tag.

Featured review
A lot better than expected for an ultra-cheap war movie that was filmed on weekends by writer-producer-director Burt Topper. Wally Compo has the key role as a private in a small troop of soldiers separated from their unit whose numbers seem to grow smaller with every sand dune that they pass. Hell Squad has all the things low budget movies usually lack - decent script, passable acting and some tense situations.
