"The Big Red One...The Reconstruction" - afc7883 - 09-22-2006 When I first saw the original movie back in the 80's I never did quite warm up to it, perhaps the 'Zag' character played by young Carradine bugged me, I don't know. In looking at it now, especially with the additional 47 minutes it has become a favorite of mine. There is one scene in the reconstructed version that I could have really lived without....the Homosexual Kraut doctor kissing Lee Marvin on the lips......
"The Big Red One...The Reconstruction" - Custermen - 09-22-2006 Dogdaddy, Is this the movie with Lee Marvin? Did they "re-construct it" for DVD release?? Please explain.
It also starred Luke Skywalker.
It was interesting movie but just bit off more than it could chew----historically speaking. The main character was supposed to have served both in WW1 and WW2.
Steve "The Big Red One...The Reconstruction" - Dogdaddy - 09-22-2006 Hi Steve,
Yes, this is the same movie you are thinking of with Marvin and Luke Skywalker. The rebuild was just for DVD...I don't think it was ever re-released for the bigscreen. One thing that soured me on this (like so many others) was seeing our Sherman tanks painted Desert Yellow with black crosses...supposedly to reseamble "Tigers".
