one day and a guy go to see his brother and say represent heyum bro . i just go and see a motion picture film show call near dark . and his brother say represent well and i jest saw me a movie call platoon . then the two brother begin describe their individual flimic experience at the same time and talk over each other louder and louder until it seem they be talk about the same film . then they write it all down on the back of a piggy wiggly bag and call it the lost platoon . the lost platoon be proof positive that no matter where you go and everyplace look pretty much the same a everyplace else . in this case and france and nicaragua both look pretty much like turkeycrap alabama . with great steam hunk of inane right wing dialog rip bleed from the page of soldier of fortune magazine and salt with ill remember scene rip off from the poorer schwartzenegger film and the lose platoon inch it way through 86 minute of alternate hilarious and tedious footage . by all indication and the bring your own fatigue invitational shoot be a huge success and judging from the number of obese loser militia type that show up to be film fire off their m 16 with near orgasmic glee . add to the film woody setting be the acting and which at least be semi obscure by the amateur nite direction . but even more offensive to even the most brain dead movie goer be the film near incoherent grasp of history . date be bobble . uniform glaringly inaccurate . at one point a picture supposedly take during ww ii clearly show a ww i vintage tank . die hard fan of both vampire flick and 80 style action should avoid this film with extreme prejudice .
