Production Notes: This was our second film. From
concept to completion the production lasted three months. Most of the time was dedicated to outlining every camera angle, and designing and acquiring costumes and props. Probably should’ve paid more attention to acting. We made this for our 11th grade English class and the story is very, very loosely based on a couple pages from the book “Band of Brothers.”

    yes they were. Japanese and chinese. Look up the 442nd REGIMENTAL COMBAT TEAM and the 100th Infantry Battalion. These were in the European theater.

    actually quite a few chinese americans served in the eto on d-day,they also served in the pacific in all branches of the armed forces.There were no restrictions on chinese americans serving in either theater.The most decorated infantry regiment of ww2 was 442nd japanese american nisei which fought the bloody hurtgen forest battle.get you facts straight before u run your jackass mouth!

    why is he wearing white pants ? he would be easy to shoot

  15. GSG929 (July 2, 2008, 6:10 pm). Reply

    okay lemme just say a couple things. The guys in this movie are using lousy uniforms.
    I think I saw and M43 Jacket and plain green
    trousers with black boots.Yet your wearing a
    101st patch on that jacket. Its all wrong

  16. GSG929 (July 2, 2008, 6:17 pm). Reply

    If your going to wear that 101 patch do it right, and get some M43 Rigger modified trousers to match the jacket, and some double buckle rough out boots. Some web
    gear with the transitional OD green pieces wouldnt be bad either. Lastly Get hair cuts.
    I can honestly say as a reenactor I know some vets who would be offended.

  17. GSG929 (July 2, 2008, 6:30 pm). Reply

    LOL okay this will be the last time I pick on you. your character “Leibgot” excuse me if I spelled it wrong. I noticed while you are marching he states something which bothered me. At exactly 5:06 into the film
    he states “I’ll be damned P-47 Thunderbolts
    My brothers flying on in the marine corps”.
    Marines didn’t have P47’s they were a plane
    only contracted for the USAAF. They were used in the pacific.

    Did you dress the Germans in Communist garbage on purpose?

    fairplay with the video, sure they was only 16, haircuts were inaccurate though and the white trousers kinda let it down, u wud prob be safer using mustangs or kittyhawks with the plane but i say well done!

    thats good for only being 16!!!! where did you get the muzzle flashes and tracer bullet things from??? some sort of spesh effects website???

    not to mention wrong rifles/pistols and sounds

    Hey nice video I liked it. I read on youtube that you made this when you were 16 but the years don’t add up and by calculation you were 18 -19 years old. Also if you are serious about making it into the industry I wouldn’t make my own IMDB page, especially for short films. It makes you seem like you are desperate for credits which reflects a lack of experience. You have got a bit of talent why don’t you use it to get some attachments to a real film and use those credits.

    a sergent just wouldnt say screw this and not reaload and if they hit more german troops iwth only four men they would fall back not keep going

    I’m not sure they should have attacked 4 soldiers with 3 grenades! A) Noisy B) Not a good use of resources!

    and lol @ those helmets that keep falling off!

    Good film though, and very good Special Effects! Nice plot.

    Pretty well done for 16 yr olds. However there were lots of inaccuracies and it was full of WWII movie/video game clichés. And taking Liebgott’s name from band of brothers was kind of lame.

    dude there not trying to be reeactors here thats not the point. The uniforms were good enough. Its a movie not a reenactment and I dont think he really had a budget.
