- Set in Europe during WWII, a group of American soldiers are in the process of being shipped off to military prison for a variety of infractions, ranging from desertion to murder. While they're being transported, a German artillery attack hits the convoy, killing the MPs and enabling four of the prisoners to escape. The group decides their best bet is to head to neutral Switzerland where they can avoid the fighting and prison. As they make their way to what they think will be freedom, they end up volunteering for a commando mission to steal a V2 warhead for the French Underground. Somehow, the team must sneak into the most heavily guarded base in German territory, steal the Nazi's most precious military hardware, and bring it back to the allies without getting arrested again by their own side.
- In 1944, in France, the rogue American soldiers Lieutenant Robert Yeager, Private Fred Canfield, the murderer Tony, the thief Nick and the coward Berle are transported to a military prison. However, the convoy is attacked by the Germans and they survive and flee with the intention of cross the border of Switzerland. Along their journey, they fight against a German platoon and capture the German prisoner Adolf Sachs that offers to guide them to the Swiss border. When they meet a German troop, they kill them but sooner they discover that they actually were and American commando in a mission headed by Colonel Buckner to steal a German V2 warhead. Lt. Yeager, Fred, Tony and Nick offer to risk their lives to accomplish the mission.
- Other reviewers have commented about this being a takeoff from "The Dirty Dozen" of 1967. Hollywood has copied, borrowed or hijacked themes and plots that have worked well ever since it's beginning. The movie- going public doesn't mind at all – if the new films are good. Sometimes they are, and sometimes they aren't. So, it's not a surprise that the makers of this 1978 Italian film, "The Inglorious Bastards," would try to copy the highly successful and entertaining earlier film. But many things were missing from this attempt, and other things were added that took away from the film. <br/><br/>It lacks an all-star cast, and the cast it has is low on talent. The technical and other aspects of the film suffer from lack of talent as well. The script is weak and choppy in places; the direction is sloppy; and the film editing is weak. The camera work is good, but the special effects, props and sets in places are almost laughable and tend to reduce the otherwise good camera work. Other reviewers have noted the poor effects – when grenades goes off and bodies fly through the air, etc. All of the GIs have submachine guns (Tommy guns or grease guns) that appear to be fed by box magazines. They would hold about 30-rounds and the guns could fire 450 rounds per minute. We see the "heroes" mowing down the mostly inept German soldiers for most of the film, without ever changing magazines. Of course most of the Germans are stuck with plain old rifles and are terrible shots until the end of the film. <br/><br/>Two scenes were particularly unbelievable and diminished in my eyes any interest on the part of the makers of "The Inglorious Bastards" to show a semblance of realistic combat action. The first was early in the film, when a German plane strafes the American forces on the ground. The MPs don't allow the prisoners to get out of the deuce and a half (truck). Everyone knows you abandon vehicles in a strafing because the planes try to blow up the vehicles. In real life, the prisoners would have been ordered to hit the ground. But this film takes it a step further and the MPs shoot and kill several of the prisoners who try to jump out of the truck to safety. That was totally unbelievable and unreal, and set the stage for the rest of the phoniness of this film. The second was the escapee group being able to kill all of the specially trained Americans who were in German uniforms, without the commandos being able to take down any of the renegade group. <br/><br/>Most of the battle scenes appear stagy. At times they reminded me of a video war game. The stereotyping of characters like these in outfits had pretty much ended in the war films produced after 1960; but the producers of this film brought the practice back. Except for Bo Svenson's Lt. Yeager and Fred Williamson's Pvt. Canfield, the characters were mostly crude. I can imagine that someone with no combat experience or knowledge of the military and its equipment, and who others can suspend any thoughts about reality, or who just likes fantasy actioners might enjoy this film somewhat for its action. But most, I think, would find this a disappointment. There are many better ways to waste one's time.
- "Quel Maledetto Treno Blindato" aka. "Inglorious Bastards" of 1978 is a highly entertaining little piece of War/action exploitation cinema brought to you by no one else than cult-director Enzo G. Castellari. This has many similarities to Robert Aldtrich's classic "The Dirty Dozen" (1967), only that this one is pure, awesome late 70s Italian exploitation. The prolific Hollywood stars of "The Dirty Dozen" are replaced with exploitation regulars like Bo Svenson and, most memorably, the great Fred Williamson. In France of 1944, a bunch of WW2 US-Army soldiers are about to be brought to a POW prison for different offenses, when the Military Police truck they are being transported in is suddenly attacked by Germans. Five of them take the opportunity to escape, among them an officer (Bo Svenson) and the super-tough black Pvt. Fred Canfield (Fred Williamson). They decide to flee to Switzerland, which is not easy, since they have both the Military Police and the Germans against them... Basically, the five unite all the characteristics that the twelve members of the "Dirty Dozen" had. Bo Svenson and Fred Williamson basically are the heroes of the pack, Williamson being the tough and super-cool black dude and Svenson the clever Strategist. The rest of the bunch include a trickster with an affinity to jokes and theft, basically the guy responsible for the fun-part, a young wuss who almost wets his pants throughout the film, and a sinister and racist jerk. The supporting cast includes a bunch of familiar faces for exploitation fans, I was especially delighted to see the great Donal O'Brien in a small role. Still, the main reason to watch this is Fred Williamson, who is, once again, coolness personified. The film does not have the great storyline or character-drawing of "The Dirty Dozen", but it makes up for this with lots of action, explosions, bloody battle and occasional female nudity. Even so, the film is not nearly as outrageously violent as I had expected it to be (and neither is it very sleazy). Yet, this is a highly entertaining and great fun to watch War/Action flick that I highly recommend to all my fellow exploitation-buffs!
