Oh yes! Loved that song as a kid. Used to play with my Action Men and sing that as they trundles along in their tanks!

Loved "Kelly's" for years...and it still hold sup 100% now.
Even if Oddball ("WOOF! WOOF! WOOF!) is everything to do with hippie/drugged out Vietnam and not WW2!

Damn fine entertainment...with perhaps the best performance in a film I've seen from Savalas too. His interaction with the other men is classic.

Eastwood is pretty much background material in his own star vehicle with this kind of co-star cast (few films have this many utterly wonderful support characters) in full flow.
But he was in "Where Eagle's Dare" too...Basically a support player to Burton.
as far as acting and presence goes...Eastwood seems to cope badly in war films.

oh yeah...How GREAT was it to suddenly hear the 'Tiger Tank' theme in "Inglorious"?!

I was surprised to see "Deborah Gibson" in the opening titles as the main actor ... could this have been Debbie Gibson ... the 80s Britney Spears? Heck it was! But the film was still as cack as hell! I mean, a shark jumping outta the water and bringing a jumbo jet outta the clouds! Who on earth thought that would be a good idea to add to the film ... a 6 year old? And the constant re-hashing of the same CGI effects shown over and over again throughout the film ... (holds finger firmly on video search!):ack:

And coming soon from the makers of MegaShark Vs Giant Octpuss is Mega Piranha,starring the other pop princess of the eighties,Tiffany. (yum yum)

I think we're alone now....:dance:

You would be if you tried to screen these to an audience....:biggrin:

Saw V - The downward spiral from Saw 3 continues. Some inventive killings in the backstory don't quite make up for the overly plotted main story but they do provide the main reason for me to keep watching. I'm in no hurry to see part 6 so I'll slap it on my rental list.

The Legend Of Hell House - This still remains one of my favourite haunted house films ever. I've got the original novel by Richard Matheson in my to read pile and after watching this again I think I'll be pulling it to the top. Dated ever so slightly, but still a creepy thriller with some effective chills.

Saw 6 was up there with Saw 3 and made up for the shocking lack of care given to parts 4 and 5.

Roll on Saw 8 - as no doubt number 7 will blow.

I heard somewhere that 7 may be the last? Or will that depend on how well it does? ;)

I'm not too sure matey, I know 7 will be in 3D but I've not heard it's the final installment. I'm guessing you're right, they'll see how the opening gross does! :nod:

I hope 7 is the last.
they get worse as they go along.
