Enjoyably appalling(or should that be the other way around) "Spaghetti" war film with all the usual attributes:bad dubbing,acting etc-you know the score if you`ve seen a few of these.The stuff with the baseball and trampoline is top quality!I saw it on an Aussie r0 dvd boxset that I found on ebay(type in Escape From Sobibor + 9 others)-picture quality isn`t the best and it`s not in widescreen.

I got this on a 20 war movie pack at Walmart for $5, so it was pretty good for a quarter. The tap dancing was pretty funny, but the action wasn't bad.

It was OK for what it is. All I could think while watching it was did Quentin Tarantino watch this while making Inglourious b*sterds?

Firstly It's an Italian film so the budget wasn't as big a a hollywood film and it shows at times, I watched a dubbed English version BTW.

Some of the uniforms look odd.

There seems to be a lot of filler, like random tap dancing, etc.

Great Jews-Harp music at the beginning! You can't beat a great intro with soldiers leaping thru the air/driving with a great Jews harp soundtrack! I had to turn it off but I have one question please? Do all foreign movies like this always have the same explosive 'pshhhhhhhpow' gun sound like every western movie/war movie?? Did somebody patent this sound or did they just have one machine and push a button? Seriously, I watch every damn film available and I've heard this gun sound before and probably before Sergio Leone.

I don't usually watch action movies but I kept with this one. I can tolerate Italian movies made in the 1960s. There's something quaint about them. I liked the response in the church scene. And a few other scenes made me chuckle.

Gloriously bad. I first saw it on a damaged DVD, which only about made a quarter of it watchable, then I found it on the Internet.

Klaus Kinski was relatively restrained in this one. Must have been the grappa.

I spotted this on the Internet and as I'm going through a faze of watching old films, mainly because I'm tired of the nonsense being regurgitated by the current film factory. I thought I would come and see, as you have, what others thought. I'm assuming that it was meant to be a comedy and as it is an Italian film I think it only fair, in my opinion, to describe it as, Quattro Formaggi con formaggio extra e un contorno di formaggio. Music was corny and out of place, even for a comedy, Acting was utter cheese but had a few moments, storyline more cheese, cinematography had a few moments and the directing must have been done by someone called Cheeseman. I speak German so when I heard the line "This is Freidrich Geburtstag" ? Fred Birthday…... groan !!!!
Klaus must have been desperate but I guess whatever pays the bills, or in this case, the cheese bill.
