There's not much I remember from it, but I'm sure if one's seen it he knows what I mean.

Right. The movie is set in on an island in the Pacific during WW2 where an Japanese and an american soldier duel each other. I believe it was an sniper duel, but I cant be sure of that.

IIRC, there were 2 americans first, but the other got shot by the Japanese soldier. :hmmm:

Also, the american fooled the enemy by faking the M1 Garand's distinctive 'PING' sound and so lured the sniper into open in the end of the flick.

And lastly, I think that the two survived and met in some reunion thing or something in the last scene of the movie.

Anyone got any idea what I'm blabbering about? :doh:

Ooops, sorry about that. Found it. :DL

'The Last Bullet' is the name if anyone's interested.

Never heard of it, but I'll bet Hell In The Pacific, with Lee Marvin and Toshiro Mifune was better.

I got up really early to watch Hell In he Pacific. It was worth falling asleep in school to watch that movie.

Interestingly I remember seeing a short tv-series, like three or four part, which had a pretty similar story line. But the one I remember was older then -95, I think. There was a reunion in the end but I don't remember the Garand - trick and I don't think either of the soldiers were snipers.

Found a clip of what you're talking about on Youtube, is this it?

I still havent gotten my hands on The Last Bullet. And to be honest, I'm not sure if that's it. I dont see no Garands in that clip you posted. :hmmm:

It might be that it was the series then, as I dont remember the things leading up to the duel, so it might be that I've caught the last episode of it and though it was a movie.

I THINK that towards the end, either the allied or the japanese soldier tried to slit the other's throat with a bayonet but didnt finish the job and so in the reunion part the other had a distinct scar on his throat.

Yea, I remember that there was an assault with a bayonet by the Japanese guy when he ran out of bullits. What on earth was that tv-movie/tv-series/movie called?

Unfortunately, yes.
