@CalifornianGuitarist Yep, it's a classic line! Great film with a sad ending.

Think one of the reasons why this is such an astonishingly good movie is the ending, which is so unlike anything Hollywood did then or does now, it left such an impression on me when I saw this that I wished I had been born to be a movie director, this is what film can be and should be about, simply outstanding and I am proud to be associated with this masterful film just by commenting on it.

@russdemar No way. He's too much of a pretty boy. This movie should never be remade. It's excellent the way it is.

Yes maybe Leonardo Dicaprio is the only one today to take on Jake Holman's role if this movie was ever remade.

@362chop That is right. Tom Cruise would have used Mission Impossible style heroics to save the day which would mean somersaults, flicking his hair back and shooting endless bullets. However, I reckon maybe Mel Gibson could have done a good job if he did a remake although he is no McQueen, not by a long shot.
Cool BAR action!

@doublej118jc I'd love to see them use the BAR in a new action film which has a strong R rating and maybe set in the future like RoboCop or The Terminator. ;)

YEP, BAR WAS A BAD-ASS WEAPON. ASK THOSE CHINESE THAT GOT DRILLED BY IT. STILL HATED THE WAY THIS MOVIE ENDS THOUGH. WISHED HE COULD HAVE GOT OUT ALIVE.

@olympic1969 I think the intention was always to have him killed off. I don't think they wanted to go for a conventional Hollywood ending.

nothing like a BAR to send some lead down range

@fjordking I agree. That was one helluva machine gun.
