The Siege of Firebase Gloria (1989) was a cheesy and bloody war movie about a lonely U.S. military firebase that's constantly under siege by several companies of Viet-Cong freedom fighters. The enemy want to destroy it's occupiers and liberate it's cache of weaponry. The base is under the command of two hardcore veterans (R. Lee Ermey and Wings Hauser). Can these two vets shape up the residents of Firebase Gloria? Why do the Viet Cong want this base so bad? Do they have what it takes to become heroes? To find out you'll just have to watch THE SIEGE OF FIREBASE GLORIA!!!
A look at the Vietnamese soldiers makes you realize why did the director use Filipinos (they look nothing like Vietnamese people). I never realized that they had stocky builds, dark skin, mustaches and curly hair. Well I'll be... Not a classic, just a violent action film that'll give the viewers a glimpse at a bloody period of the Viet-Nam war. Poorly equipped soldiers with so defined orders, sounds very familiar. Directed by the ever underrate Brian Trenchard-Smith.
