Synopsis:
A group of U.S. Military lifers/death row inmates are given the choice to serve out their sentences or go on a suicide mission in Nazi territory.

Review:
The Dirty Dozen is a classic guy movie. That said, it’s one of those movies that you have to own a pair of testicles to appreciate. But fair’s fair, I don’t understand what the big fucking deal is about Titanic, Beaches or The First Wives Club and nor do I care too ever figure it out (F.Y.I. Zorbs bought the Titanic DVD the week it came out. You can extrapolate your conclusion from that).

What’s great about TDD, aside from the casting of Lee Marvin, Charlie Bronson, Donald Sutherland, John Cassavettes and Telly “Who loves ya baby?” Salvalas, is its story. You’d be hard pressed to find a guy that doesn’t love any story in which Nazi’s are the bad guys (they even make sitting through The Sound of Music worth while).

I gotta give props to my man Zorbs for pointing out something that I hadn’t noticed about this movie. There is no swearing in this entire film. This is a movie about a bunch of convicts that are facing death and yet they don’t swear? Give me a fucking break. On the other hand though this just goes to show you that if you have a good story you don’t have to have swearing.

Special Features :
This bad-boy comes with a theatrical trailer, a behind the scenes featurette, and a six-page booklet.

The booklet was all well and good but the trailer and the featurette are the shit.

The trailers’ cool because it’s not really a trailer. Instead of the usual “compress the film into 30 second” clip show, this trailer has descriptions of all the characters played by the leads and quotes from the actors about playing them. The Featurette on the other hand is pure nostalgia. This fucker was made during the production of the film and is as camp as they come. Even though it’s only 10 minutes long, it is well worth watching.

Video and Audio:
The video transfer wasn’t the best, a few scratches and dust spots here and there, but for a film made in 1967 it’s nothing to really bitch about. And the Dolbly digital 5.1 made me cry all the more when Jimmy Brown got shot.
