VHS Movie Reviews of The Dirty Dozen [VHS]
Movie Review: I had a "Dirty Dozen" birthday party for my 8th birthday
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this movie. My Mon took me to see it along with 10 or so friends. I was 8 years old. Lots of violence, guns and explosions. Even the bad Americans are the good guys, the Nazis are the bad guys. All very politically incorrect stuff. The hanging scene, Marvin kicking Cassavetes ass, Telly Savalas perving out, Sutherland impersonating the general, Jim Brown dropping hand grenades onto evil gasoline soaked Nazi people trapped in a cellar, Brown's almost making it to the giant half track - and getting shot by a sniper using an INFRARED scope ... these are the coolest, best, funniest scenes in the history of film - at least for a 8 year old in 1967.
After the movie we went to the park and played Army. I had a steel toggle action full size toy cap-gun Luger. The thing would get a kid shot these days - it looked very real. I also had a plastic .45 caliber Thompson SMG like Tom Hanks used in "Saving Private Ryan." When you pulled the trigger it made a gun sound. (I liked it because the Sgt. in the TV show "Combat" used it. And if "Combat" was not a "QUINN-MARTIN PRODUCTION," well it should have been.)
At the park we ran up and down the side of a pine straw covered hill. Somehow in our imaginary battlefield, sliding down the hill on the pine straw made perfect sense.
And then hot dogs cooked over charcoal, and lots of cake and ice cream.
Perfect movie.
Perfect day.
Five stars for both.
Summary of The Dirty Dozen [VHS]
A model for dozens of action films to follow, this box-office hit from 1967 refined a die-hard formula that has become overly familiar, but it's rarely been handled better than it was in this action-packed World War II thriller. Lee Marvin is perfectly cast as a down-but-not-out army major who is offered a shot at personal and professional redemption. If he can successfully train and discipline a squad of army rejects, misfits, killers, prisoners, and psychopaths into a first-rate unit of specialized soldiers, they'll earn a second chance to make up for their woeful misdeeds. Of course, there's a catch: to obtain their pardons, Marvin's band of badmen must agree to a suicide mission that will parachute them into the danger zone of Nazi-occupied France. It's a hazardous path to glory, but the men have no other choice than to accept and regain their lost honor. What makes The Dirty Dozen special is its phenomenal cast including Charles Bronson, Donald Sutherland, Telly Savalas, George Kennedy, Ernest Borgnine, John Cassavetes, Richard Jaeckel, Jim Brown, Clint Walker, Trini Lopez, Robert Ryan, and others. Cassavetes is the Oscar-nominated standout as one of Marvin's most rebellious yet heroic men, but it's the whole ensemble--combined with the hard-as-nails direction of Robert Aldrich--that makes this such a high-velocity crowd pleaser. The script by Nunnally Johnson and Lukas Heller (from the novel by E.M. Nathanson) is strong enough to support the all-star lineup with ample humor and military grit, so if you're in need of a mainline jolt of testosterone, The Dirty Dozen is the movie for you. --Jeff ShannonAction & Adventure VHS Video
