not my style movie. it is more female movie.
yes. this is only time i see philipe look good because he acting next to a haxxor. he like "please stay i actually look cool next to this poof".
philipe is funny guy in this movie. he walk around like colonel matrix but he dont look tough at all just girly man. very satisfy to see him finally get zapped. i always remember this movie because it was only good slasher film of the shit late 90s teen slash craze.
if you recommence this book pitt then i may have to read. i do not normally read book, only wikipedia article, but this book sound great pitt. which officer did you email pitt? there are many heroes in this great battle. i would like to know what he say. it is great to speak to war veteran from those old wars, they are like real life hero.
are you familiar with battle of khe sanh during tet offensive pitt? i think when charlie attack khe sanh, they overrun its firebase nearby and gi's in firebase were forced to retreat. it seem your strategy was followed on once occasion at least by charlie. it make sense to do this. it is like cutting off life lines.
here is video i find on famous firebase battle in nam, wtih narrator who sound like he been drinking too much caffeine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqgWOyVdxEg
yes according to this they still use 105 howitzer in nam: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weapons_of_the_Vietnam_War
these in bold look like what they use in firebase. M102 sound like upgraded version of M101 used in ww2. probably use more.

the girly man dicrapio was on night out in town and wanted to stick his micro boner into nomi malone but her boyfriend said no, so girly man fuck di craprio ordered his butt boys to attack the boyfriend and left him with permanent injurys:
https://ew.com/article/2003/05/05/leo-faces-suit-brawl-over-elizabeth-berkley/
if it wasn't for stupid women and butt pirates then this fag di craprio would have no film careers. he is no talent haxxor. i cannot believe peoples think he is good actor. a shit human being and a shit actor. fuck this fagtard. hate his face and his shit movies. arrogant shitstain.
was that book on ia drang the one wrote by hal moore and joe galloway? i have to say if it is, then that is book i would very much like to read. i hear good things about this book, pitt.
i have seen many documentary on ia drang. joe galloway was right next to man who get killed by napalm. this poor man look traumatize just by this incident. in documentary i see, this man breaks down just thinking of it. napalm seem inhumane. i read that napalm is now not used in western war because of humane reason, but they still have white phosperous which i think is close relation to napalm.
it is good strategy you have pitt for charlie to try and take out firebases and deny artillery support to gi's. it make sense. there are many examples of this happening in nam where firebases are besiege by i think they must be well protected for charlie to mostly avoid. charlie always got annihilated by gi's when they try and take the battle to americans out in open. i think the battle at end of platoon was an area protecting firebases.
yes this strategy of getting up close to GI is call 'hugging the belt'. it worked against french at dien bien phu. but i think charlie underestimate the skill and talents of american artillery operators and air force, as well as determination of american gi's. these gi's were mostly sons of ww2 veteran so they have fighting in the bloods and are good fighters with heart and determination which too tough to beat.
thank you enigmatic. i assume you dislike prequels too? this is good. the prequel suck so much i cannot believe how shit these movies are. the phantom mess, attack of the clowns, revenge of the shit.... you can have 1000 alternate name for these crap film. i hate them hahahahah
thank you for this information on Bach. i did not know this great man recycle own music. i think when you are very talented, you earn right to reuse something you do from past. if you have no talent and you copy, then that is bad. that mean you are no good hack.
i am always interested in classic composer music from centurys ago, as they are big influence on film composers and on my favorite music - 70s/80s rock (since they often do concert with orchestras, i assume they are in close relations to classic composers and music). so much rich culture in this music!
yes death by napalm worse than hell. i can not imagine being victim of this. just think of how desperate situation is on ground if they are calling in napalm right on top of friendlys. being overrun must be truly scary if you resort to napalm!
i have not seen tears of the sun but this sound like good conclusion. have you seen we were soliders? it have napalm scene, and worse, it happen irl. total nightmare. i cannot watch this film because of that scenes. once is enough!
i see.
i would still rather keep seagal and lose that suspense feeling of anything can happen if it mean getting leguizamo to be dead.
leguizamo is horrible diversity hire actor who overact and ruin every scene he in (like every token in movie). even kurt russell agrees - he try to punch this shit actor when he annoy one too many time on this movie. you think russell ever try to punch someone who is good actor? no.
very well said about dale dye pitt! i bet dale dye was popular leader with his troops when he was in nam for all the things you mention. he have everything a good leader need and more. he is tough but also warm heart and to have these two things in equal measures is very great thing to have. i bet if i served under him in war, i would feel more confident surviving under this mans leadership.
and dale was real natural when put in front of camera. can show all the right emotion. the american military seem to provide lots of characters during this time, as r. lee ermey become famous as well.
<blockquote>" But I guess the thing is when the enemy overran the position of Bravo they were all clumped together instead of spread all out while in attack mode"</blockquote>
yes exactly pitt. i forgot rhah told them to stay in there holes, but taylor had to play john wayne ahahah.
<blockquote>" I have read other accounts of American combat troops in Vietnam calling in artilery on their own position since there were more enemy there than their own men. I guess it makes sense but what an awful thing to have to do."</blockquote>
yes i agree pitt i would have told the captain to re-think his order. and yes it was common for air strikes and arty to be called on friendly position. this is good example from ia drang, when gi's are about to be overrun, the strikes come in right next to there postion, and some friendlys killed: https://youtu.be/1dn8YAJtLLg?t=385
yes bingo fuel mean he is low. no idea why they say this hahahah
i would guess dale dye was not suppose to be in platoon at first, because of age. i know he was there from start to train the actors how to be solider and in jungle warfare. so oliver must think he looks so authentic, that he must put dale in the movie, even if he look a bit old. but yeah, i never think of this before, he does look more like colonel or major haha. great actor. he go on to have great career after this thanks to stone.
"Which of course prompted me to ask why they didn't just bring it in earlier. LOL"
hahahahah yes!!! so true hahah
hi pitt. great topic once again!
you are right, i would hesistae with this order! i would wait a bit for thing to change, just like you say pitt haha. could i live with bombing my own? would i take this order? no. i would refuse order. when i run over stray dogs on local roads i feel bad enough for this. frying friendly? no.
but... the word i always hear from pilot in platoon is that he tell captain to "get them in there holes down there, i am coming cocked for tree tops". which mean when the GI's hear jet coming low and fast, they know its coming to lay shit down, and they can jump in there fox holes/bunker, so at least the pilot know he wont be killing that many friendlys. he knows most stand chance. he cannot wait or they all die. this motivate him. this pilot have steal ball.
final death toll of end platoon battle according to radioman was 37 americans KIA, and i think charlie got most of them. the explosions from jet hit right in centre of base camp that is overrun - perfect hit that vaporize charlie. pilot did great job. i bet he know best position to hit. captain saved more than were KIA - he can live with his decision.
the plane at end of platoon that drop snake & nape is F-5A Freedom Fighter, which i think see not as much action in Nam as F-4 phantom.
i read the F-5 was later modify as 'Tiger' and sold to NATO countrys as it was cheap plane to build and maintain for countrys with less money than America. it look just like F-4 especially from angle shown in platoon.
yes and there are also no fugly feminist woman who want there to be more woman representation in job like collection of sanitarium, sewer job and cleaning keelai's shit stain underwear
yes good point. old man cannot be bad man after this great ending show him to be great warm man in robo 1
i think robo 2 have different writer than robo 1 and they decide to take this character in new directions. but i still dont see him as bad man in robo 2. faxx and cain are the dick jones and boddicker of robo 2. old man not really villain in robo 2.
agreed. to me dick jones was evil in robo 1, and juliette faxx was evil in robo 2.
the old man was just like the cermudgen head of OCP who always have subordinate under him trying to undermine position and the old man comes off untouchable at end. he like teflon don of robo world. legend character.
absolute retards - very dangerous spending all time in tan booth.
thank for sharing this info, i did not know this. that is tragedy. i cannot imagine who would give backlash to this once in lifetime event of watching uncut predator 2 on big cinema screen. i would sell my soul for this experience. fucking retards who complain.
100 year from now predator 2 will be seen as legendary film. time is being good to this film. i need 4k release with all version of film available.
yes i have seen this film halloween 3 harvey. it have good original story but is too weird for my taste. kid head melting from mask wtf? woman head melting in hotel room wtf ?too much weird shit. i do not like over weird shit in movie i watch film. but tom atkins and dan o'herlihy are great actor, and tommy lee wallace is great director.
halloween and its sequels is best horror slash franchise. much better than friday 13th franchise (aka gore & tits the 13th) and nightmares on elm street franchise.
i google her and first picture she look like white women who spend too much time in tan.
yes. i see simple thing when i watch film - qualitys of script/story and actor. this is what all normal people should see when they watch film.
woketards dont see this. woketard have only race and white man on there mind - everything fucking day of there shit lifes. and that attitude leak into film today. so that mean hollywood must film and write script to please fugly woketards like keelai the hutt who need race and white man in life.
thank you for response moviechatuser497.
dan o'herlihy is great actor. actor of this caliber is what make robocop 1 and 2 fantastic movies.
