Eagles may have but helicopters ....?

Rating: 4/10 (29 November 2000)

What is that helicopter doing flying about in the middle of the Second World War. If there had been helicopters like that about, warfare would have been very different! We all know that there is a lack of German military vehicles for film use apart from Kubelwagens and Opel trucks ,so we are well used to seeing American tanks and halftracks with iron crosses painted on them, but a HELICOPTER is a bit much! The whole plot is absurd, how on earth can six blokes just walk in to a heavily guarded nazi stronghold perched on top of a mountain without any of the apparently half slept Germans noticing. This bit of Hollywood garbage is an insult for anybody that fought and or died on both sides during the war. On a lighter note what about the girls hair styles, not exactly from the 40s...did the production crowd not realise that the war was not fought in the late 60s! And if Richard Burton is posing as a German officer why did they not cut his hair to fit the role?
