Yup, it's the film Tarantino got the name from. Inevitably released in the wake of the more famous film, Tarantion took only the name, and nothing more. This is Italian exploitation stuff, but don't let that put you off. Hiding beneath the low budget, terrible partial dubbing and lousy production is actually an extremely enjoyable film. The story, although formulaic in the most (it's a Dirty Dozen rip off), has a few touches that are ok. Like the double-misunderstanding resulting in the death of the sympathetic german soldier prisoner with them. It's a brain-off thing, but there's nothing wrong with that. Oh, and naked chicks with machine guns! What more do you want? I paid 3 quid for this, in HMV, and honestly, is one of the best value films I have ever bought.
