M16 Three prong flash hiders
Anyone else notice that these three pronged flash hiders look weird? They sweep down at TOO sharp of an angle. That is why I thought they were Adler-Jager AP-74 rifles previously. Or possibly the South African Armorers just took the flash hiders off of the AP-74 rifles and retapped them to mount on the M16 Rifles. MoviePropMaster2008 20:08, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
Lame uniforms and gear
What makes me ticked off, is that I could have outfitted this entire movie ACCURATELY with what I have in my closet! Arghhhhh. I am also a collector of Vietnam era militaria (US and Enemy forces). MoviePropMaster2008 04:29, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
well, if you ever work on a uwe boll film you can abuse him after your done....for the rest of us as well scarecrow 11:08, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
Boring as hell
That is probably the only thing I can say about this movie. Just... What was the story? Was there one? I couldn't guess it, I saw it 3 times! -protoAuthor
- That's the bad thing about Vietnam War movies. We still didn't have a Band of Brothers or Saving Private Ryan of the Vietnam War. We really need it. None of that Platoon, Casualties of War Anti-war bullshit. I want one like Band of Brothers were they just show US Grunts living through out 1968 in the middle of the Vietnam War without any political shit. Just show me a accurate depiction of the US Involvement of the Vietnam War, Dammit!-Oliveira 17:39, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
- Hamburger Hill and We Were Soldiers are good. They're anti-war, but they show soldiers who are brave, tough, dedicated to the job and to each other. If you haven't already, watch them.-Crackshot 20:30, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

DVD cover
I was at the rentals the other day and I saw this DVD on the racks. I picked it up, noticed the soldier on the cover was holding an M4A1 CARBINE and then my fingers started to burn from holding the case too long so I put it down. Really dumb error there I gotta say. - Gunmaster45
If you look on the main page, the name UWE BOLL says it all. Wraith
- Besides Rampage, which was alright, anything with those two deadly words on the cover is pretty much destined to be junk. I made the mistake of watching the Dungeon Siege movie he did, because it had Jason Statham in it. Guess what, nothing can save a crappy Boll film, nothing on this planet.

- agreed as soon a you see uwe boll, just completely erase any thought of it being remotely goodscarecrow 04:15, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
This movie was shot and filmed in SOUTH AFRICA
That's why the American GREEN uniforms look so wrong. They're the same 'green uniforms' that the Cubans and Russians wore in Red Scorpion hahahahaha!. Everything is wrong about this movie MoviePropMaster2008
- Everything is wrong about Uwe Boll. Where did this guy come from?--Jcordell 21:44, 11 April 2012 (CDT)
- Germany. I wish we can say he was the product of a Nazi eugenics program to breed the world's worst director, but it's more likely that he's just a hack. --Funkychinaman 22:24, 11 April 2012 (CDT)
- Actually I knew that (rhetorical question), but I like the Nazi eugenics angle. Didn't think of that and it explains so much.LOL--Jcordell 11:45, 12 April 2012 (CDT)
