Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe German panzers are in fact American made M41 Walker Bulldogs. They where manufactured between 1951-1954.
- GoofsCaptain's bars are never worn centered on the epaulet of a dress uniform. Only a General's star is ever worn centered at this location. All others are worn out on the sewed-down part. If Italians dropped behind American lines as "captains" were wearing theirs that way, they would have been suspected immediately.
- Alternate versionsWest German theatrical version was cut by approx. 26 minutes to tighten the pacing. The VHS release from Toppic was cut even more (additional 13 minutes) to use shorter (and thus cheaper) tapes. Finally in 2024 was the movie released uncut on DVD and Blu-ray in Germany by Cargo Records, waiving all previous cuts.
- ConnectionsEdited into Ninja the Mission Force: Bruce We Miss You (2013)
Featured review
Another quickie and cash movie
(1968) Commandos
DUBBED
SPAGHETTI WAR
Co-written and directed by Armando Crispino During WWII when Mussolini was in power and still had an army, a group of Italian Americans are selected to partake a dangerous mission whereas they were to take over a fort guarded by Italian soldiers working alongside with the Nazis, and then wait for more US armed soldiers to show up! Lee Van Cleef also stars as the troubled captain.
One of the major problems with Spaghetti Westerns and Spaghetti War films has a lot to do with it's budget, and this one is no exception, whereas Sergio Leone makes scenes look very theatrically credible with it's close- ups and camera angles- this film lacks common sense with a lack of charisma leading to predictable results.
