Tank Battalion?

Tank Battalion? Where was it? I saw only one tank in the whole movie that was not in some grainy military stock footage from WW2. The stock footage was even ridiculous, Stuart and Grant tanks in Korea? I never saw a .30 cal Browning machine gun mounted on a tripod INSIDE of a tank before! Why did the North Koreans ALWAYS attack the tank in FRONT of the machine guns? Creatures of habit I guess. Notice that the tank crew NEVER fired a round out of it's cannon. I guess AIP couldn't afford the ammo. Edward G. Robinson Jr., besides being one of the most unmemorable actors who ever lived, was a super mechanic also, replacing one of a tanks tie rods under machine gun fire in 30 seconds with NO tools! This was undoubtedly one of the worst war movies ever made and I was actually rooting for the commies!

I liked the part where the one random North Korean starts walking in the open, with no cover, with a flamethrower. For, like, no reason at all.

Caught this today on THIS.
Mostly for never having heard of Ed Jr., let alone having seen him work.
Nice hair.

I was most impressed by the interior details of the tank. I never knew they were like duplex apartments. Though not particularly well appointed, it seemed very roomy for the guys.
