Title: How bad will this be....
Post by: Phantom on May 06, 2016, 03:20:14 PM
Had to post this - spot the deliberate error on the films poster (on second thoughts, the producers are prob. blissfully unaware) I simply can't imagine how bad this film will be, the tagline...
During World War II's Battle of the Bulge attack, an Allied tank unit gets caught behind Nazi lines and risks their lives to save an orphanage...

Yeah. The markings on that T34-85 are all wrong for a start!

Well all the tanks in the movie The Battle of the Bulge were American tanks from the Korean war so why can't they use T34's in this one ?

Seems the movie was already released in 2014 and managed to get an average 2 out of 10 rating on IMDB.



You can see that the winter weather during the Battle of the Bulge in all the war reports was highly exaggerated.

Hey, it could've been a CAPTURED T-34 tank being used by the Germans to destroy orphanages. That way everybody would blame the Russians....see? No, it was probably just lame movie making.

In the great, surreal movie Castle Keep, the GIs capture a T34 German tank.
Peter Falk had one of the great lines in movie history:
Can we be shot for wearing a german tank?

If you want to see a 'so bad it's good' WW2 flick check out Zone Troopers, starring Tim Thomerson:

IIRC, it's also on Amazon Prime and Netflix

In Ardennes Fury, the orphans turn out to be zombies.

Like THAT doesn't always happen.

I pretty much hate all things zombie. Zombies would dramatically improve that movie.

If that's the one I'm thinking of, it features the ever-so-manly 'Sgt. Mittens'.  :2funny:

Yeah, it's pretty much a send-up of WW2 movie tropes. IIRC, some of those same actors were in the 'Scanner' movies as well.
