Randy Shughart and Gary Gordon. I used to research everything there was to research about those 2 guys after I saw BHD. They are icons in my book, someone I will always look up to. RIP guys.

too bad they needed a movie for people to find out about them. but i rmember when they listed the casualties at the end of BHD, people started getting up and walking away. no respect. maybe ducimus is right about americans :lol:

[Durandal]

Its all about Sulu, I was still trying figure out where his Starfleet digs were in that flic.

Edit: Captain Nim played by George T.

They had a special showing for the 160th SOAR guys who were in TFR the day before the official release. Everyone was really silent afterwards.

Hamchunk? Shoot, I dunno...

[ShotOver]

Ahhh, yeah i saw this movie. The ending with the "Puff the magic dragon" commin and pounding down some serious fire on the base at the end was great :D

The Green Berets did have impressive sets, however the story was biased. John Wayne was a die-hard anti-communist, the film was made in 1968, it was more like a US propaganda film or a really long Special Forces recruitment film.

[Roger Rabbit]

How can you not have the Duke as your favourite charcter?

[Hydro]

The Green Berets....one of the greatest cheesy movies ever. Some great bits in it though, especially when the South Vietnamese traitors open up on Provo with the Fifty, then Captain Nim says "I'm prepared for that" and detonates the explosives under the position...classic.

Best character is a tie between Kirby and Peterson though...Muldoon was pretty hardass though.

[NcDeuce]

impressive sets

Thanks to Fort Benning

[Gringo]

I'd go as a far as saying that the film is enjoyable, but not at all on par with Platoon, Full Metal Jacket or Apocalypse Now.

[TriggerPuller]

My favorite is the hot Vietnamese chick that's in bed with the NV General dude.

What? Hell yeah!! That woman was cute as hell. i wonder if she was Vietnamese she looked Japanese but who really gives a **** right?
Favorite soldier was SGT Muldoon. He just seemed like a tough old crusty warhorse that had already BTDT,good charachter.

TP

[California Joe]

Muldoon was cool. Straight out of central casting. Need gruff SGT, with whiskey soaked voice to kick ass. The guy that played him died of cancer several years ago. Can't remember his name. Arno something......

BHD and most of bruce willis movies are crap, i dont think ive found some decent American military films. They need to lay off the bull**** for abit.

There were quite a few "special showings" much earlier than the day before the movie was released. I got to watch it in the big briefing/conference room in SWC, before it came out.
It was a good time being at Bragg, and getting ready to go to war and watching that movie with all my buddies and stuff.

Remember the stillness and silence in that room?
There was some hard motherfahkers watching that day.

RIP - to those that were not there to watch.
