I saw The Big Red one. I was a good movie. It's worth the 6 bucks.

I like Big Red One, but I like most of the older war movies. Didn't care much for Tigerland.

I saw it in a Times Square Theater when it came out. This was before Times Square was “Revitalized”.[:|]
Considering what used VHS Movies go for, you paid about what it’s worth.[:\] While the movie isn’t all that bad, it isn’t all that good either. Stay away from Tigerland. |

Big Red One is ok. Kind of low budget for trying to depict war on the scale of WWII. A million times better than Tigerland though.

Big Red One was pretty good. Better than quite a few big budget war movies. It has its weak points (German tanks are Shermans!, some of the story line was weak), but I liked all the Garands (as opposed to all the heros using SMGs, like you often see in 'older' war movies), and some of the scenes were pretty good.
Tigerland sucked. |

"The Big Red One" was as good a war movie as was being made when it was released. "Tiger Land" was O.K. I think it was a reasonable reflection of the Vietnam/Draft era of the Army. There was a lot of trouble makers in all the services at that time. What should be expected? A lot of them for there against their will.

I guess I must be confused. I thought John Holmes was in "The Big Red One"." [;D]

that movie was great one of my favorite, lot of funny stuff.
I like when they are trying to help the woman deliver the baby, and he asks his buddy how to say push in french, he replies ,"Pussaye" so they going Pussaye Pussaaaye Pussaaaye And then when the mental patient picks up the german SMG and says" I am insane! I am one of you ! and starts spraying it. |

I've never seen it. I can still remember standing in line at a video store, when a WWII vet that I knew through the American Legion, (I'm not a member but my dad was for 40 years, and I spent a lot of time at the local post) who served in the Big Red One during WWII, came in and started talking to me. He asked me if I had seen the movie, and when I said no, he told me not to bother.

Quoted: Best line in [i]The Big Red One[/i] I think you got him. Ditto!! The Big Red One is one of my favorite movies. I thought Tigerland was pretty lame. ____________________________________ The only hope you have is to accept the fact that you are already dead.

I laugh every time the GI of Italian heritage is bartering with the little Sicilian kid. In the middle of this stream of Italian you here "Jesse James." [:D] Like most war movies this one is fiction based rather loosely on fact. If you remember that then it's a good movie. Your friend was "there" and forgot it was a fiction movie based loosely on fact. This is not a diss aimed at your friend. Probably most veterans who have "been there" look dimly upon fictional stories depicting where they served. |

Really good movie with lots of good looks at M1 rifles,but the gas chamber scene with the GI shooting 8 million rounds strait with his M1 was a bit much!

He didn't shoot "8 million rounds straight," he paused and reloaded.
I thought that was the best scene in the film. |

If you got it on DVD or tape look when lee Marvin(god bless his soul) hands the soldier another clip and says get him for me too (about twelve straight on camera shots! Bob [:D] |

Interesting. I saw it when it hit the theaters, and I've seen it since then on TV, but my memory of it was that he would fire eight shots, then reload. The scene showed the camp with the echoing sounds of his shots, spaced like a metronome. The Sargent finds him and, as he's feeling around for another clip, he hands him one and says "I think you got him."
Hmm...did they revise it when it went to video? |

Actually the movie is based on the book "The Big Red One" by Sam Fuller (who also wrote the screenplay and directed the movie).
Besides being a reporter for the San Diego Sun by age 17, he was also a European Theater combat vet who won the Bronze Star, Silver Star and Purple Heart. So while the movie is fiction, I'd bet it is only semi-fictional (notice the writer character?) |
