It's an entertaining film but certainly not a great film. One thing that always struck me as odd is when they steal the keys from the VM jeep and toss them in the mud, I've never seen a jeep of that era with keys.
Enjoy the film.

Like most movies of the era, technical accuracy wasn't a huge priority. The acting is okay, and definitely not as cheesy as other films. Turn your brain off and enjoy it, then watch L'Ennmei Intime, Mon Colonel, and Hors la Loi to see what real film making is about. Cinema's come a long way.

I was wondering about that...I couldn't remember if WWII era US military vehicles had keys, I know the US Army in the 1990s didn't, just a couple of switches you had to move around to get them to start. Seems like a bad idea to have keys for them, as that's the first thing someone most likely would lose! |

None of our Canadian wheeled vehicles had keys until the 80s and all it took was for a driver to put them away in a safe place before things went to crap.
Usually it was just a master/ignition switch and a starter button, less the old deuces which were master/ignition switch and a starter pull.
Mind you, it made for a little humour in the film so we can look past it.
