Shit. It is a movie about the First Special Service Force. A joint US Canadian unit started in 1942. Maybe a search from your area will find it elsewhere.

If it has Charles Bronson (among others) and includes a scene where the Canadian troops show off their parade ground flair only to end up in a giant brawl with the Americans then I think I've seen it before. I'll have to watch it again as I've forgotten most of the rest.

You probably saw it, there is a bald guy. There is a guy that looks like Bronson. They are not him or Yul Brenner.

With a very convincing and exciting battle at the end. Also one of my favorite Combat Mission scenarios based upon it( the original CMBO I mean).

So the royal marine commandos that was formed in 1940 doesnt Count ?

Is this like how the Americans was the first to get hold of an enigma machine according to Hollywood

Hehe in 1:15:10 the "german" commander is counting in Danish.

....

First Special Service Force was the actual name of the unit... not a claim on being first.

The bald guy in the movie is Richard Jaeckel.  He had a long career in the movies and on television.  I remember him most as the head MP in the "Dirty Dozen".
