Droppen Sie dead !

Rating: 8/10 (25 September 2005)

This is by all means the funny and entertaining version of the POW camp, much less sombre, depressing and hopeless as it is shown in King Rat, similar by location and topic and the ways of the main character. It goes almost close to vaudeville and musical, with the two guys doing the strange show, one wearing his underwear only mostly all of the time. This is some fun, but it has various undertones and a harsh side opening in the scene, when the 2 guys trying to escape are mowed down relentlessly and with an unbelievable amount of ammo being wasted. And it continues, when the assumed traitor is beaten up and threatened by his comrades, but comes to detect the real stoolie and his ways. And it get's deadly serious once more, when a captured pilot is at risk of being shot as a saboteur and must be brought out, still with a traitor trailing every step of the way. The Spoiler tick mark doesn't entitle you to know the final outcome, so go and watch it yourself.
