...the filmmakers clearly intended the movie to be a carefree caper, and if one views it that way, it can pass an entertaining few hours.

Movie Metropolis

A strange but mostly satisfying hybrid of WWII actioner and anti-war satire... [Blu-ray]

It was too crudely done to have much effect as satire.

Isn't really about the Second World War, but rather about the senselessness of the Vietnam War . . .

Very entertaining war movie with just the right touch of Vietnam-era cynicism

Unclear notions of heroism and crime ... packaged as escapist, mainstream entertainment

• 1. Big Joe: [shouting to the captured German Colonel] Look! We're not worried about the German army, we've got enough troubles of our own. To the right General Patton, to the left the British Army, to the rear our own goddamn artillery, and besides all that it's raining. And the only good thing to say about the weather: it keeps our air corps from blowing us all to Hell because its too lousy to fly, versteh?
  2. Col. Dankhopf: [he understands] Ja, ja, versteh.
  3. Big Joe: Okay.

• 1. Big Joe: [shouting in the radio] Look, Mulligan! I don't think I'm getting through to you! You're dropping your damn barrage on our position! The reason you can't hear me is because you're firing your mortars at your end, and they're dropping here, on our end! No, the Krauts are not here! We're here! Mulligan, your bombs are coming down on our head! I don't know where the Krauts are! Just lift your goddamn barrage! Over!
