the opening sequence be suppose to show the legion arrive in paris on 13 nov 1918. the troop pile off the train wear the uniform in which the french army and include the legion and march off to war in 1914. this a sure sign that the war flick you be about to see will be a turkey . ( the french army realize by 1915 that go to war in red trouser and dark blue overcoat be not work . metropolitan french troop be put into horizon blue and colonial troop be put into khaki . ) the claude van damme ( sp . ) remake at least get the uniform more or less right . really be too bad when director make these sort of mistake when they then go to all the effort to get other thing right .
