Trivia
John Wayne was prompted to make the film as a response to the growing anti-Vietnam War movement in the US. See more »Goofs
When Col Kirby initially arrives at Da Nang, the two C-130 aircraft carrying his troops are seen taxiing with their tail ramps partially lowered; a common practice still carried out by UK and US C-130 crews. In the next scene, when Kirby is about to disembark, the tail ramp opens from a fully closed position. There is no need to close a partially open ramp prior to fully lowering it. See more »Quotes

Probably the only major motion picture to actively support the U.S. involvement in the Vietnam conflict, John Wayne leads an elite team of Green Berets on a search-and-destroy mission to capture a leading NVA general. Well acted action film worthy of a look even if its sentiments might be a bit dated by today's standards.
