4.0 out of 5 stars Five for the Hell, January 16, 2002

This review is from: Five for Hell [VHS] (VHS Tape)

It's a good action film whjch mixed war and western.
The plot is simple. In world war II, five American soldiers
attack the headquater of Nazi to get the secret paper.
But the action is fantastic. The film is mixed war & western
& some kind of martial arts.
Especially Nick Jordan's thumbling action seems a Chinese
Kung Fu star.

1.0 out of 5 stars low budget dirty dozen, June 23, 2004

This review is from: Five for Hell [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Possibly the worst war movie ever made. Kinski is the ONLY redeeming feature, but Klaus Kinski playing the 'sexy sadist' is hardly a stretch and thus can only debatably be called acting. The movie is an Italian production, overdubbed into English, except the German dialogue, which is subtitled in Italian. Can be confusing. The plot takes 5 misfits to infiltrate an impregnable german fortress to find the dark and sinister Plan K. To give you an idea of the scope of ludicrosity that plagues this movie, 'our boys' infiltrate this fortress by means of a trampoline that they have smuggled in. The microfilm is hidden inside a fake wooden baseball, which then becomes a weapon in the only running gag in the movie. There is NO character development, a sketchy attempt at plot. The costuming is godawful, especially Kinski's dressing gown. I would have dated the film to be mid-60s; I was surprised to find out it came out in 1985--that's how dated the clothes and hairstyles were! I was IN italy in 1985 and people did not look that tacky! The soundtrack is another abomination.

The film is short, too, only about 92 minutes. You'd think they could have used that extra half hour to inject something like plot? In a war film, even the cheesiest most jingoistic one, you feel SOME desire to side with our side. It's bad when you're rooting for the Nazis, and that's how bad this movie is.

However, if you need a movie to make fun of, this is a great pick. I laughed so hard (at parts where the movie was trying to be serious) that I scared my cats.

2.0 out of 5 stars Five for hell isn't the half of it!!, June 18, 2003

This entire production should have gone to *ell in my estimation. It does however contain the necessary ingredients for a great comedy -too bad they didn't approach it from that angle...Wake me up when it's over!!
