Set in Europe during WWII, a group of American soldiers are in the process of being shipped off to military prison for a variety of infractions, ranging from desertion to murder. While they're being t...( read more  read more... )ransported, a German artillery attack hits the convoy, killing the MPs and enabling four of the prisoners to escape. The group decides their best bet is to head to neutral Switzerland where they can avoid the fighting and prison. As they make their way to what they think will be freedom, they end up volunteering for a commando mission to steal a V2 warhead for the French Underground. Somehow, the team must sneak into the most heavily guarded base in German territory, steal the Nazi's most precious military hardware, and bring it back to the allies without getting arrested again by their own side.

    The Original Inglorious Bastards (Quel maledetto treno blindato)

    Yeah, it's ok, I'm a big fan of exploitation films, this ones pretty good but I've seen better, but I've also seen worse. I can see why QT would want to remake it, although It wouldn't have been my first choice.

    You can sure tell it's a Quentin Tarantino movie -- Not a happy ending in any sense -- and nothing I would buy to add to my collection -- That said, and despite the gross parts of the movie, It was well done and I kindof enjoyed it -- Brad Pitt couold be a garbage collector and h...( read more)is acting would be sterling -- Don't take the kids or don't go if you have a weak stomach --

    A true gem from the 1970's exploitation industry, I vowed to watch this one first before going to see Tarantino's reworking. And honestly, I hope Tarantino's is good, because this one did set a bar for independant films back in the day, and if you liked it well, its because the "...( read more)Spaghetti" crew were making it. XD Italians make good movies apparently, ie: Spaghetti westerns.

    Anyways, Bo Svenson and Fred "The Hammer" Williamson lead a group of army prisoners on a flight to freedom, stumbling into one problem after the other as they try to make their way to Switzerland. But unfourtanently, they become entangled in special operation, with no way out unless they can steal the new V2 warhead technology from the Germans and escape before the Germans OR the Allies fnd them first.

    Action packed, laced with 70's coolness and humor, don't be fooled by it's cheap makeup and simplicity, its actually well made, each character has their own story and the ending is a mix of fate, love and death and very abrupt, which was melancholic but effective to what is a very violent movie.

    Its a simple movie, no thinking required, but I thought it was great viewing and some good acting, a good job done on a small budget with more skill and acting ability and action direction.

    Enjoy!

    I know I wasn't alive then, but I'm pretty sure that isn't how WW2 ended.

    The ridiculous title is more memorable than the film itself.
