This one is just for EthanKeith as I know he loves it so much. Coasters are an added extra to keep it from rolling up!

It's been dispatched so hopefully I'll have watched it by the time next week.

Still haven't seen it; it can't get here soon enough now
-
Well the folks who made the movie, obviously didn't use much intelligence when they shot those joke scenes!!
Remember I've never seen it so watching it on Blu ray for my first viewing will give it the best chance. Honestly, I'm surprised at its ratings on Amazon all 5 stars and one 4 stars, better than some of Duke's better known films.

Great movie, ha ha!! they couldn't even have a
location shot from the window,
just an endless conveyer belt of the same
plastic cars on and on and on.... yuk!!Lol! I take it you don't like this one Keith?
I read reviews on Amazon, see below, and ordered the blu ray! I'll let you know what I think when it arrives!
One of John Waynes best films, backed by an impressive cast including Katharine Ross and Jim Hutton, enjoyable time after time, a classic.
Altho it is not a western with John Wayne the few films that he made that were just ordinary ones this one is one of his best films very exciting.
I saw this movie on TV years ago and it is one of John Wayne's best.This is loosly based on the life of Texan Oilwell fire expert Red Adair, who died not long ago.Jim Hutton is his sidekick, with Bruce Cabot and Vera Lynn his ex wife.I loved this movie and still play it often. The DVD edition brings a clear sharp picture and the soundtrack is great.The team travel the world putting out oil and gas fires and there are some terrific sequences, including the fire in Malasia and the final one in Venezuela.Along the way, we get to see thier life and loves, predictably with John (Chance Buckman) getting back with his ex wife.I'm sure you will enjoy it.
P.S. don't blame me that they are illiterate, I just copy and pasted them!

FanTAStic cover Peter. Much better than the old ones. Read way on down this thread. Lots of folks don't like this movie at all. But, I found two who did beside me. I said when you got back, I thought you might be one of the ones who liked it because we USUALLY agreed. So, what is your take on this. Make sure to read on back to see why others didn't like it and why I did. Sure reminds me of those guys, and of Gibbons who once got cement shipped out of country when no one else could with one little 5 minute phone call, LOL! Keith
I'm going to be honest here, pretty much how I always am, I still haven't seen this one! Like The Conqueror, it has sat in my Duke box of films unwatched.I must dig it out to form an opinion on it. I do like the soundtrack however, quite a jazz little number!
Maybe it will be in the group watch soon, lol! -
Not sure if this has been posted on here yet but Hellfighters is out on blu ray on region 2!
I quite like the cover. -
Unbelievably this one has remained unwatched out of my Duke DVDs.
I must give it a go. The soundtrack is quite cool, that's all I know!
