One of the BEST Films,but something isn't clear to me. Hicks and Converse were Marines in Vietnam and NOW are both there again as civilians...Hicks as a merchant
seaman and Converse as what....A Journalist...seems TOO coinicidental AND running Dope on a regular Basis,and Converse sends a letter to Marge which sounds MORE like he's there AS a G.I. and why send the letter when he's leaving the next day for the States anyway,did I miss something?
@swastikausa You may be right about that,I read the Robert Stone book long ago,I'll try to find it and see what's there as far as the movie goes,I DO remember that DANSKIN (Richard Masur)in the book was a BRONX psychotic who cracked some guy named "Brucie" in the head with a pipe who he saw with a girl he liked at The Lowes Emporium movie theatre....TRUE to the movie character,that's for certain!
@pkotowski Region 2 media is Europe, the Middle East, Japan and other countries. VHS and DVD's are region specific, say a Region 1 (US) dvd will only play in a DVD player that is coded Region 1, but there are region free players out there also.
Excellent movie. Does anyone know the name for the style of martial arts practiced by Nolte in the film?

its more likely converse was in vietnam as a civilian journalist and struck up a friendship with hicks who was in uniform.

Thanks for putting this up. The movie is difficult as it is to obtain. An underrated movie. Yet, the trailer? Awesome. Nice stuff.
