Even the tracers deflecting looked real. That was a well done production. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its one of very few movies i've seen in recent years....and that scene is exactly the one i think of when I think of that movie. It was a hell of a flick. Interesting fact: This tank was used in the 2014 film Fury,[15] the first time a real Tiger has appeared in a feature film since Theirs Is the Glory in 1946 and They Were Not Divided (1950).[15 Edited September 11, 2020 by Historian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, they had some talent in that movie. How could they afford that cast? I guess some of them had not made it big yet as actors. The guy who played Odd Ball (Donald Southerland) could act with facial expressions. He was an amazing actor. Nearly stole the movie. Clint was great as usual. Even Don Rickles has a bit role. Good number of those men were actually WWII vets themselves! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
