Hell's Heroes (1987)
3/10
A war movie, not just about war, but also about friendship!
21 October 2009
Warning: Spoilers
This movie makes "Platoon" look like a troop full of Boy Scouts, and makes "Full Metal Jacket" look like a knitted cardigan. "Inglorious Bastards 2: Hell's Heroes" makes the first Inglorious Bastards look totally irrelevant!

Featuring: Miles O'Keefe of Ator fame; Fred Williamson, and actual live combat footage!

Witness the story of Sgt. Darkin as he battles red-tape and the Viet Cong. When Senator Morris takes a tour of Vietnam on a boat, he asks Sgt. Darkin his opinion on the war; he tells the Senator right out his feelings of disillusionment, meanwhile the boat banks at a village of the most Hispanic-looking-Vietnamese-people-ever. The villagers greet the Senator and his guards with flag-waving, but they quickly throw their flags down and hold up machine guns. As Sgt. Darkin attempts to open fire, an explosion sends him flying into the ocean. After 6 hours, he's washed ashore and reports to his commanding officer, who sends him to the brig for treason and going AWOL. In the brig Darkin makes friends with the nastiest cut-throats known to men, among them Feather played by Fred Williamson. Just what obstacles will these friendships endure? Find out!

Veterans say the camera-work in this film looked just like what they saw in Vietnam: everything was so damned obfuscated around them that they couldn't see their fellow soldiers next to them!

You heard it here, go see "Inglorious Bastards 2: Hell's Heroes" today!
