First post... ...oh joy (lol)
This is a pretty good movie, a must for any WW2 collector or good to see once for any war buff, lots of action, the suspense plays out ok, unique WW2 movie.
shareFor an Italian War movie I guess its a good movie. However the historian for this movie must have been drunk. Blatant erorrs regarding uniforms and vehicles make this hard to watch at some points. Although that women in the movie was really hot, which made it watchable. The terrain dosen't look anything like Normandy. I'll stop rambling.
shareThis wasn't a bad film concept but its' execution was poorly done. I was hoping the panzer would get back behind German lines so this is the first time I supported the Germans in a WWII film.
One big mistake was that in war protocol, if you are moving towards friendly troops and they don't know your intentions, you turn your turret backwards. That way the troops know you mean them no harm.

America put the "fun" back into "Fundamentalism".
I'd have to agree with BobbySimone86 about "The Battle of the Last Panzer." It was your standard Spanish-Italian World War II action adventure movie done on a shoe-string. Keep in mind, this is NOT "The Longest Day" or "A Bridge Too Far." Similarly, all World War II movies suffer from some of the goofs that slap happy critics have charged this one with since the 1950s. Indeed, all the tanks are American M-48s, the uniforms are not quite correct, and perhaps the worst foul-up here are the G.I. helmets, but like any "Godzilla" movie you have to look past the physical portion of the mind to get to its serious side. Now, you may be laughing at me, . . . serious side?! Yes, the serious side . . . as in the dialogue scene when the unhappy babe makes the kind of statement that no self-respecting big-budget W.W. II would dare make. On learning that the Americans are arriving in their French village to liberate them, the girl observes that the Americans liberate everybody except Americans. This was a legitimate complaint that real Nazi propagandists made about the U.S. during World War II about how hypocritical treatment of African-Americans. You don't see that kind of stuff in "The Longest Day" or "A Bridge Too Far." Yes, the soundtrack does sound like a spaghetti western, but so what? "The Battle of the Last Panzer" is kind of like a far better but just as historically flawed war film "Commandos" with Lee Van Cleef. Both of these movies are anti-war and "Panzer" hammers its anti-war message home at the very beginning. Finally, "Panzer" isn't the greatest World War II movie ever made, but I enjoyed it for what it was and what it had to say.
