The original ‘suicide squad’ concept movie. 12 Allied prisoners, condemned to hanging or long term imprisonment are put under the command of a maverick officer. He has to train them and then lead them into enemy territory to attack and destroy a Nazi stronghold.
I do love Dirty Dozen, but Seven Samurai is the oft imitated, never beaten, in the desperate last stand for a hastily put together team film that has my number one pick.
I know it’s heresy, but I’ll got with “The Magnificent Seven” with McQueen, Coburn, and Bronson over Seven Samurai.
Which reminds me of anther comment I made in this thread.
‘Yojimbo’ stole its plot from a book called “Red Harvest.” A middle-aged fat man who drinks too much gets hire to investigate corruption in a mining town. He decides that the only way to clean out the town is to blow it wide open.
I can’t be the only one that immediately thought of The Blues Brothers, right?
Yeah I think thats a good match up, if ever there was a film that caught the DnD party vibe without being a DnD film
“The Dirty Dozen” has entered the chat…
