When I first saw this movie I had to have it. So I taped it. It's too bad it's not on DVD. It showed a pretty realistic view of Viet Nam as far as I can tell. They dealt with a lot of issues including racism and atrocities. It's very underrated and I hope there is a petition to put this on DVD.
You can now buy the UK Region 2 Dvd from most online Dvd stores. Most places are charging only £2.99, a total bargain. Don't know if it looks and sounds as good as the Hong Kong release, which I agree with paultbaker is excellent, but for 2.99 it's worth a shot.
