quel maledetto treno blindato aka . inglorious bastard of 1978 be a highly entertaining little piece of war or action exploitation cinema bring to you by no one else than cult director enzo g. castellari . this have many similarity to robert aldtrich classic the dirty dozen ( 1967 ) and only that this one be pure and awesome late 70 italian exploitation . the prolific hollywood star of the dirty dozen be replace with exploitation regular like bo svenson and and most memorably and the great fred williamson . in france of 1944 and a bunch of ww2 u army soldier be about to be bring to a pow prison for different offense and when the military police truck they be be transport in be suddenly attack by german . five of them take the opportunity to escape and among them an officer ( bo svenson ) and the super tough black pvt . fred canfield ( fred williamson ) . they decide to flee to switzerland and which be not easy and since they have both the military police and the german against them . basically and the five unite all the characteristic that the twelve member of the dirty dozen have . bo svenson and fred williamson basically be the hero of the pack and williamson be the tough and super cool black dude and svenson the clever strategist . the rest of the bunch include a trickster with an affinity to joke and theft and basically the guy responsible for the fun part and a young wuss who almost wet his pant throughout the film and and a sinister and racist jerk . the support cast include a bunch of familiar face for exploitation fan and i be especially delighted to see the great donal obrien in a small role . still and the main reason to watch this be fred williamson and who be and once again and coolness personify . the film do not have the great storyline or character drawing of the dirty dozen and but it make up for this with lot of action and explosion and bloody battle and occasional female nudity . even so and the film be not nearly as outrageously violent a i have expect it to be ( and neither be it very sleazy ) . yet and this be a highly entertaining and great fun to watch war or action flick that i highly recommend to all my fellow exploitation buff .
