I'm looking forward to it as well. Quite big chunks of the production were filmed in Australia and it as part funded by Seven Network.

I guess it makes sense that a lot of the production would be in Australia. The Philippines would also make sense. Wasn't principal photography done YEARS ago?

EDIT: I suppose I could google, but that runs the risk of spoilage. Well, I know what happens to one of the primary "characters."

Anyone see the movie "the Beast" (the one about the soviet tank)?

And if you did, what did you think of it?

I thought it was an interesting insight into the Soviet AF campaign.

That was a pretty good movie and the only one besides Rambo III (yech) which deals with that conflict that I know of.

Yeah "Pretty good" is a good rating for this movie.

Although that "squishing the guy with the tank tread" was a creepy scene.

My ankles hurt just thinking about it.

I am sure that we can all come up with a really bad pun involving the term "don't tread on me".

But let's not and say we did. :har:

@xabbarus; which Russian warfilms do you like?

Just noticed this one.

9th Company is Good. First Russian film that deals with Afghanistan, and in a way that portrays it as a waste of a bunch of young mens' lives.

Zorya Zdes' Tikhaya - OK could be classed as propoganda but it is well filmed, acted and tragic.

72 metres - Not exactly a war film but good anyway.

Admiral - About Kolchak though the TV mini series that the film is created out of is better.

I'll have to look at what else is in my collection.
