Looking for a movie

Dowly · 11-16-09, 04:58 AM

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.

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?

Ooops, sorry about that. Found it.

'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.

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?
