Classic War Movies- The Dirty Dozen (1967)

[The Ringo Kid]

Carl, which one's specifically,
I'll see if I can put them up in the Lee Marvin Thread

Hi Keith, I think the first sequal was called: The Dirty Dozen: The Next Mission? it was done in the early to mid 80s and shortly before Lee Marvin passed away. After that one came I think two more sequals which had Telly Savalas in them. I remember watching at least one fo those and thought it was pretty lousy but, that was back in the mid to late 80s or about 1990 when I saw one of those.

Did anyone else ever notice that the Clint Walker character (Samson Posey) is never shown being killed? He's behind the sandbags at the crossroads with Bravos. In a two-shot, Bravos is seen being hit, but not Posey. The only was you know for sure that he kicked the bucket is because he's included in the reprise of the dead.


We deal in lead, friend.

Hi B, I noticed that too. I wonder if the scene was a deleated one?

Speaking of Posey, one of my favorite lines in that movie was when he said: "Donald Duck IS Down At The Crossroads With A Machine Gun."

Sorry if this has been posted before....just came across some pics I hadn't seen.

I have, over MANY viewings counted the deaths of the various "dozen," as they occurred.

We NEVER see Posey's death. I HAVE to believe it's a deleted scene, or just a plain 'ol editing error.

Shifting gears a bit, the extras on the Dozen blue ray include a story about a table cast reading. Clint Walker - Sampson Posey - was supposed to play the bogus general at the jump school. Clint objected on the grounds that he didn't want a Native American to come across as an idiot and that he thought the scene was disrespectful. Director Aldrich looked around the table and said to Donald Sutherland - OK, you with the ears, you're a general.
After the film was shot, Altman campaigned to have Sutherland's name and image in the ads, citing that Don had performed so greatly in the film. Consequently, several US ads feature Sutherland's face in the "grenade" image.

Nice insight Gorch, I'm not sure if the same extras are on the UK blu ray, I'll have to dig it out and check!
