funniest part??.... where shall i begin...
well theres the start where a grenade manages only to grase his ear, despite landing in his lap....
the 10/10 accuaracy of firing from the hip whilst running...
the explosive bag programed to explode 10 minutes after thown so cage had an adequate chance of crawling after it and throwing it in the right location...
the STUPID yet hilarious face cage pulls while cutting the throat of a jap and the piss week blood/tomato sauce that expells from his neck....
the multi million dollar budget that went into exploding everything in sight..
the fact that everyone seemed to go to basic training and learned how to be a soldier..... EXCEPT nicolas cage.
oh my... its getting late and my stomach is hurting too much from reminiscing about this moive. plz continue in my absense. this movie is the SHIZZZLE nizzle of comdies.

reply

Been a while since I saw this garbage, but I'd point out the fact that EVERY time you see an artillery shell explode, you can see the hole in the ground where the fake explosives are housed, BEFORE they go off!

Oh, and the PTSD Cage has with a cooling fan, of all things? Wtf was with that?!


That is one big plie of sh*t.- Ian Malcolm

The sort of sloppiness that I most enjoyed was when Japanese soldiers would stop, after running up to Yahzee but a little too quickly, to let Yahzee then whip around and kill them.

reply

at the end when noah emmerichs character says he scared because he running out of ammo despite all the rifles of dead soilders laying around

reply

Yea. This movie is soooo funny. I laugh whenever I see Slater shooting a bazooka and blowing up an entire mountain. And when Cage is running up to the bunker with the Satchel charges, he goes kung-fu hand-to-hand with some Japanese guy, and throws him infront of the MG fire. The fact that he reloads 2 times in the movie was quite funny aswell.

But, bar none, my favourite part is in the prologue when they're in the marsh. And the guy that had gotten shot like 20 times. He gets up in one final act of courage, WALKS (which dying people aren't prone to do) and fires randomly at some trees.


"No... That's a mess"

Hilarious movie.

ha ha ha ha - Never have I seen so much intestinal fortitude since Hulk Hogan rallied from oblivion to defeat Andre the Giant.

the part where the Japanese soldier almost seems to dance in front of the machine gun while being shot.
the part where the guy with the chocolate bar feels so much for the safety of the japanese girl that he doesn't go for safety, but makes sure she is safe, and so dies because of it. WTF.
Plus Nicholas Cage trying to be serious....that was pretty pathetic.

reply

lol, when two marines blow up a Japanese armoured vehicle by throwing a couple of nades.

reply

the part where that grenade blew up the bunker like a nuclear missile

reply

the parts where blood flew and splattered the camera. I know it could be intentionally to effect a supposedly gore splattered epic(snickers). But it came across as that someone was sloppy in the editing room.

Also the part where Christian Slater and Roger Willie(Slater's Injun...Sorry I mean Navajo charge) tussle on the ground while Slater agonised over shooting his Navajo because they SEEM to have been surrounded, for what must have been close to a minute, plenty of time to hightail out of Dodge; yet they seem to let a whole regiment of Japs come up to their little horizontal embrace only to be killed by Slater. He just whipped his guns this way or that and produced dead Japs just like that. With marksmanship under fire like this, you would think it couldn't be that hopeless.

Slater subsequently getting beheaded has to be the comic relief from all those contrived TENSION. LMAO

And if its not exactly hilarious in itself, it is in the overused cliche of noble Injun(sorry Navajo) saving the life of his erstwhile racial taunter, Chick(it seems every on screen military unit has to have at least one) The funny part is in making it look as if Whitehorse(Willie) were throwing his blade apparently at the taunter. Only to show a Jap sneaking up behind Chick at the last second to stop the hurled blade. It almost always have to happen like that.

reply

I thought it was hilarious when the grenade Nicolas Cage threw to kill the captured code talker as he was being taking away to be killed by a grenade that wan't even close enough to kill him and his captures! Three people dead from a grenade that was only close enough to knock somebody out. *beep* stupid ass movie.

In one part of the movie nucholas cage runs from cover shooting his thompson blindly with one hand. He kills like fifty people, LOL

reply

People, I think that none of you understood the movie, because if you did, you wouldn't talk like that. The message of this movie isn't "Once upon a time in WW2, there was a man that killed the Japs and in the end he died"... I'm not saying that all the stuff from the movie is real, but it's not the point. The point is how a marine reacts when he understands that he is back in the war, just because he has to protect a man that looks like men that killed all the friends he had, that looks like men that he hates the most and that he looks like men that are the only reason for him to get back in the war so he could kill them some more. And after all that, he dies trying to save his life. If any of you tried to look at that side of the movie, you wouldn't say one bad word about it...

anyone else confused???...men?
the story line for this movie (though based off truth) is in fact hollywood garbage that has every cliche in the book. this is more of a action/van damme movie than a wat movie and IMO is an isult to the truth of the story.... on the up side however, its hilarious.

reply

Let's talk about the part with the naval bombardment, where they used STOCK FOOTAGE ahahahahahahaha.

I`m still trying to understand why they just didnt let Cage on the island by himself it would have saved 100`s perhaps 1000`s of Ameiran lives. Cage only need hes Thompson and Colt to take them all out.

Most inaccurate war movies get on my nerves and I hate. However this movie is so horrible it is fun to watch. All this movie needed was a final fight between Jet Li and Nick Cage at the end (I know Jet Li isn't Japanese, but with this movie who cares).

There are so many bad scenes it's hard to name one that is the best.

reply

LOL I know a lad who lies all the time and we watch this and laugh about hw ould tell people that he was like Cage in this film (or at least thats what he'd tell his grandkids in the future).

It's far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion

LOL, i hate people who stick up for horrible things, like john woo, wind talkers, mi2 or the Philadelphia Flyers

reply

officers actually hated the thompson as it was extremely heavy, inaccurate and had a really ineffecient tendendy to jam.

and this movie really resembles saving private ryan as there was a minor character who survives throughout the whole show unhurt. from this one it's Private Chick. and from saving private ryan there's Reiben. and both happen to wield the BAR =O

reply

lol I like this movie, but also loved the ridiculous parts.

- all of the artillery and frags in the movie were like handheld napalms, but no one ever lights on fire from them.

- Cage fires 4 shots and practically 8 guys all fall in unison with their "agghh!". LOL!

- The neck slice scene. Suddenly, if you just cut the guys throat slightly he's instantly dead.

- Yahtzee looks like a "nip," so he puts on a uniform from a dead guy and somehow teleports with his super Yahtzee teleporting machine to the enemy lines. Cage gets there and tells Yahtzee to hit him obviously in English, but the retarded Japanese blind soldiers don't wonder why cage is talking to their Navajo-Japanese friend (who they've never seen before) in English. Cage jumps into the radio station, but nobody in the bunker seems to notice. Instead, Cage mows them all down with his super-accurate Thompson that has a 1000 bullet capacity. The Thompson also seems to have magical powers, since it teleported into Cage's arms after he fell into the radio station. Or maybe the Japanese had one ready in case an American soldier killed them and jumped into their radio station.

- Obvious fake head when Slater gets his head chopped off. Looked like one of those Halloween masks.

- In the end, Cage suddenly has a bullet hole in his chest 5 mins after the shooting stops.

- 30 second satchel charge timer. They could have just picked it up and thrown in back.

- The Greek guy jumps up and says "you killed your own!" no artillery firing and the shooting suddenly stops.

- When Yahtzee says "cut me in!" or something - the way he said it was bizarre and pretty hillarious.

- The satchel explosion. LMAO. It explodes, and cage flies in the air uneffected by shrapnel. Another funny part was when Yahtzee and Cage are running back after the behind enemy lines scene. Looks like theyre skipping or something - too funny. LOL

- I also laughed when the stock footage came on.

-Chick strafing with the BAR had me rolling. Apparently he's a superhero too.



I don't understand why people hate this movie. It's cheap entertainment not meant to be taken seriously. This movie is hillarious and not bad at all if taken lightly. There are movies that are so much worse than this.

You're all pretty jaded. I'd say, offhand, that you watch entirely too many war movies.

If you are less attentive to the bloody details, the picture works. I say this because some of us have become a little less attentive to WW2 pix, of late, having either lived through it or having close relatives who did. And then, afterwards, we all watched every single g-d-mn WW2 movie ever made.

This movie is of course goofy and overdone, as every movie has been for quite some time. Still, it engages some folks in the action picture genre. Make fun of it as you will.

You set yourself apart, because you like making fun - and you like feeling superior to both soldiers and to those who try to make movies about them. For the rest of us, the movie works just fine, which is to say on the many levels that anti-war movies can work, when they work.

If any of you has the time, please state which war movies you actually LIKE.

Best part ever... Christian Slater getting his head chopped off. I was having one of the worst days ever when I watched this 4 years ago and when that happened I couldn't stop laughing... currently watching this movie again with some friends and looking forward to DVRing the part with the head chop over and over and over....

Hey, Silverbluemoon, you're not by any chance from Baghdad, are you?

LOL nice one chaco

How about how they completely forgot the perferated eardrum plot, where he couldn't walk 2 feet, and instead turned Cage into a super hero.

And when chick shot the guy and then kicked him. LOL

reply

The stock footage of the ships firing.

The CGI aeroplanes. One time the plane wasn't even overlaid properly, it and it's bomb were wobbling in relation to the picture.

You really don't know what war is like, do you? I don't think any of the movies that were created by WW II, Korean War, etc was suppose to be laughed at or thought to be FUNNY!

reply

Someone may have mentioned this,
but what about the part where Ben asked Enders (Cage) where Ox and Whithorse are, his answeres were hilarious,
eg.
Ben "Where's Ox and Whitehorse?"
Enders "Over there"
Ben "What happened?"
Enders "Well, I took my grenade, and i threw it and I blew 'em up"
classic

reply

yeah we don't kno what war is like. but we do know that its not like this. stupid. the reason we are laughing at this piece of *beep* this wasn't made to be a good war movie. it was made to show nick cage running around with a gun and shooting 200 japanese without having to reload. i guess thats what war is then right?

Wow this thread got popular! Considering it started last May!
