I've never heard so many racial slurs in my life. The British soldiers seem to really hate the chinese and the Koreans. I mean they seem to detest them mightily.
The patrol is usually mowing down Chinese soldiers from high places, so it's not like they're in desperate fights for their lives. What's more, they're complaining about war all the time but their uniforms look in good repair and they actually otherwise look like they're winning a lot of battles. One guy even goes crazy in one scene - from what, I don't know - says it's from the stress, but the movie doesn't show what's so terrible. Probably just the old 50's movie habit of shoving things into scenes haphazardly.
I suppose we're supposed to feel sorry for them or root for them, but they're mostly horrible whiney racists. Are these really supposed to be the heroes? I didn't a jot whether any of them lived or died.
If you watch the movie for Micheal Kaine, you'll be disappointed. Barely a peep out of him and he has bottom billing in the credits.
Honourable Mentions: Without a Clue (1988). Michael Kaine plays Sherlock Holmes in a duo with Ben Kingley. An excellent movie and you'll get plenty of Kaine if that's what you were after here.
