Difference between revisions of "1968 Tunnel Rats"

Revision as of 02:07, 20 April 2009

1968 Tunnel Rats is the latest film directed by 'infamous director' Uwe Boll. The film was originally titled Tunnel Rats. The film was screened at film festivals in Canada and Germany and had a limited theatrical run in Los Angeles at the Downtown Independent Theatre on December 20th, 2008. The 'official' release date for the film in the U.S. was supposed to be March 13th, 2009, however that release date got pushed back, despite being released elsewhere in the world on DVD. Now the U.S. DVD will be available for wide release on Jun 30, 2009.

Like usual, there is a lot to criticize in the film, though the film itself has mixed reviews (some reviewers actually think Boll is getting better(!)) But there was not a lot of thought put into the costuming and gear for the film. The Soldiers wear modern BDUs in O.D., their shoulder patches are bright and not subdued (subdued insignia was common by 1968) and the helmet covers are Woodland BDU, not the Nam leaf pattern which is correct for Vietnam.

The following guns were used in the movie "1968 Tunnel Rats"

M1911A1

Mossberg 500 shotgun

XM177

M654

M16

M16A1

Armi Jager M16

MGC M16

Visible are obviously ModelGun Corp M16 replica rifles.

M16A2

M60

M79

Browning M2 Heavy Barrel Machine Gun

Type 84

Rather anachronistically, the NVA soldiers use Norinco Type 84S (5.56mm) AK rifles.

-: Are these bootleg images from the (2009 Scheduled release) movie Tunnel Rats"?  Or is it a different movie? [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 20:31, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

-::Yep, this is the new Uwe Boll movie. And a perfect case of what we shouldn't be tolerating. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 21:23, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

-:::I don't know why you delete all the pic . so now i re add the pic. This film Release dates    Canada at 19 July 2008 (Fantasia Film Festival) Germany  13 November 2008  USA  19 December 2008 (Los Angeles, California) USA  13 March 2009  [[User:kin93|kin93]]
-::::We deleted the pics because it appeared that they are from a BOOTLEG copy.  You mentioned the THEATRICAL release date or film festival dates.  But that doesn't mean it's out on DVD yet.  And it hasn't even hit theatres in the US yet.  Has it come out on DVD already in other countries?  Uh, NO.  Dude.  You're in Hong Kong, the illegal Bootleg capital of the world.  Again, please don't post images from  bootleg sources here.  It's IMFDB policy.  If these are from a LEGAL source, then let me know.  If I don't hear that it is from a LEGAL source (i.e. a licensed and sold DVD or an online trailer or studio released production stills) in 24 hours, then I will delete the images, just like the other admins did previously.
