This is a good movie. However, I did feel sorry for the Carl Weathers character in the movie as his character suffered quite a bit of racial discrimination as alot of black americans did at that time. At least his character didn't die in the movie which thankfully gets rid of the 'Sole Black Character Dies Cliche' in this movie. Also, I had no idea that Robert Shaw was British in real life as I originally thought he was American.
Watched for the 1st time on the military channel's "movies worth fighting for" and loved it so much I watched the 2 re runs on the weekend. 2 weeks later it was voted to be brought back so in. total I watched it 6 times
Καλη πολεμικη ταινια,με θεμα τον Δευτερο Παγκοσμιο Πολεμο.Εχει αρχισει να γινεται κλασσικη,χαρης στους γνωστους ηθοποιους της,και στον σκηνοθετη της τον Γκαι Χαμιλτον,που σκηνοθετησε ταινιες Τζεημς Μποντ.Και εχει επεισης ωραιο μουσικο θεμα απο τον Ρον Γκοντγουιν,που εχει υπογραψει μουσικα θεματα για ταινιες με τον Δευτερο Παγκοσμιο Πολεμο,οπως η θρυλικη"Μαχη της Αγγλιας"σε σκηνοθεσια του ιδιου σκηνοθετη.
this movie has so many mistakes...first the tanks arent german they are russian and then the train...god damn electric train in ww2 that has been produced only after 1962...and many more mistakes but the movie is great i love it,the movie is recorded in Bosnia or as you now former Yugoslavia
From "narutofightindreamer to ThoughTraveler". Yes, I know this all too well as, it's been very difficult for myself to stay the hell away from the bottle myself. Haven't had a drink since President's Day Weekend last year. It's damn hard but, I wish to live to a ripe old age.......Another one or two that the bottle took was "Lee Marvin & Richard Burton".
Carl Weather's and Harrison Ford sure look young in this. I heard Robert Shaw passed on not long after this film was made. On AMC or Turner Classic Movie's, the host told the story that, most of the film was made in the then Fully Unified Yugoslavia. Now Croatia, just like Kelly's Heroes. Between shooting the actors and film crew would visit a Brothel just across the Italian Border. This freaked the movie company out because the Mafia had recently been kidnapping and ransoming Foreign Tourist's.
This was Ford's first lead role after Star Wars, and he was 35 when this one was filmed. Weathers was 30 himself. Shaw died about 6 months after filming was completed for this movie--he was 51 and suffered a heart attack during a break from filming AVALANCHE EXPRESS, his very last role.
@SupportingActor Harrison Ford appeared briefly in Francis Ford Coppola's "Apocalypse Now" , released in theatres in 1979, but actually shot in the Phillipines in 1976-77. He played one of the officers briefing Martin Sheen's Captain Willard before his mission to take out Kurtz's Marlon Brando with "extreme prejudice". lol Ford also appeared in 1973's "American Graffitti", dir. by George Lucas, as hot-rodder Bob Falfa. All b4 "Star Wars" & "Force 10". LOVE his acting!
Seen this movie 2 times when I was younger, now I´m going to see it again. Remeber it was very good.Had problems to remeber the name but I found it!! Thanks for the trailer!

Great film by the way :D

Robert Shaw battled with the bottle his entire adult life. It finally took him in the prime of life. Booze has killed so many of our heros.
