Anachronism Rules!

Rating: Null/10 (17 June 2001)

Escape To Victory is so silly, so stupid, so asinine, so inane, so unbelievable that it's great to watch!
Did people actually pay money to see this on the silver screen? Did they really journey to the cinema, hand over their hard-earned salary and make the effort to find a seat, sit down and--seriously--watch this? CNN should investigate!
We are presented with nothing worth analysing or critiquing, so I'm not going to bother. All I will say is, suspend disbelief for two hours.

I could actually feel the sensation as my credulity was stretched further than the distance between the sun and Pluto.
And to top off this big, dumb, silly movie is the anachronism to end all anachronisms! In the final scene, after the football match has been won, the crowd invades the pitch. The Nazis look on in horror as a multitude of people approach - WEARING FLARES and bearing AFROS!!!
They look like they stepped out of a Rolling Stones concert and into this movie. I laughed until I cried. Worth sitting through for that alone! Anachronism rules!
