You'll get a kick out of this. From the Amazon.com synopsis:
"Although the basic premise has since been executed with more technical skill and panache (most notably by Aliens and Michael Mann's The Last of the Mohicans)"
Apparently even old films are reviewed in terms of newer movies, not just history.

Nothing new under the sun.
IIRC, Lucas used WWII gun-camera footage as a model for "Star Wars".

Since were blogging about the Michael Caine movie "ZULU"...
has anyone noticed that the Zulu battle chant from that movie seems to have been used by the Germania Barbarians prior to the battle with the Roman Legions in the movie "GLADIATOR". Or am I crazy? Check it out and let me know what you think.
