If you liked R.Lee Ermey in "Full Metal Jacket" this is your flick. This was one of the first Viet Nam movies starring an actual Vet and contains some of the best military one liners ever filmed. Although there are Hollywood moments, the film does an excellent job at authenticity in most every aspect and gives the viewer an insight into the emotions and tactics on both sides and the sacrifices that were required just to stay alive in the events leading up to "Tet". There is no shortage of military carnage and action with contrasting characters and political convictions that reflected the volatility of that era, even in the military. For a "B" movie, it got missed by a lot of viewers the first time around which is a shame because it is outstanding and has Ermey's fingerprints all over it!
I really liked the way this older vhs cassette was packaged. The seller placed it in a new vhs cover, using the old paper carton container as an insert. It looked very clean. I bought this vhs tape because my husband enjoyed the movie several years ago and has been looking for it to put in his video library, but all other movies being sold were much more expensive. I plan to give this to him for Christmas.
The movie was in great condition. It looks awesome. The picture is in mint condition. For the year that the movie was made, It looks as if it came out yesterday. The reason I got this movie is because I have been looking for this movie to surprise my boyfriend for months. It is his favorite movie. He went absolutely nuts when he saw it. He went crazy with how mint the conditions of the movie was. It didn't even have one spec during the movie.
I have no clue since I have not received the product yet - it's been six weeks! You can ignore this part of the review since it's just a bunch of words to fill in the REQUIRED number of letters! What nonsense is that? It says that I need at least 100 characters and that I still have 3213 characters remaining. I'm no math wizard, but.................
I purchased this for my boyfriend. He is a former Marine and very Patriotic. We both liked the movie and give it an excellent rating. My boyfriend is very familiar with this fight. He had relatives enlisted in the Marines and fought in the Vietnam war.
