UK Dvd Widescreen?

SPOILER.I suspect quite a few people who post on the F.M.J. board are probably unaware of this which is a real shame.Definite similarities between the two ,including an appearance by Lee Ermey as the drill instructor,although his performance or dialogue isn`t quite as memorable here.Still I think I actually prefer this after watching it twice in a week.The film has better balance and structure with the initial training sequence and an almost seemless transition to Vietnam.I always thought F.M.J. was a much better film during the Paris island sequence and lost impact in the second part.

Boys From Company C is often hard-hitting and biting:we learn that one of the main characters proposes to traffic drugs in body bags.A vietnamese prisoner,befriended by the group,is then tortured and killed by a special forces advisor.The farcical side of war is well-served by the totally incompetent and highly-strung captain who leads his men into ambush after ambush and then when his men start a game of baseball, believes the "ball" to be a grenade and flees in panic.

There`s quite a lot of ordanance flying around(clearly the Director had some cash to spend) and the remastered uk dvd makes full use with a decent 5.1 mix.Uk dvd also boasts a cracking 2.35:1 anamorphic pic as someone has already pointed out.Overall, a superb film which is slowly starting to receive some well-deserved attention.
