Just re-watching THE LOST BATTALION with Ricky Schroeder...

I like the movie enough to own it. However, there are some scenes that drive me nuts including the infamous slowly racking the slide of an empty 1911 prior to the charge out of the trenches at the beginning. How could an editor have missing that?

I too, own this movie. Did you also happen to notice that while preparing to attack "Over the Top" at the beginning of the movie, that the bayonets mounted on the M1917 rifles are still in their scabbards? Check closely and you will find that the troops are fixing bayonets with the bayonets still in their scabbards. Again, how could the editors have missed that? Karl

Was down in San Diego last week, visited the ship used in "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World". In the movie, the captain's cabin looked HUGE! In actuality, 3 people made the cabin CROWDED. Had still shots of the movie so that you could place where everyone stood - amazing what a camera perspective can do.

Good Movie, when that ship was the ROSE and based out of New England...it would come to Bay City, Michigan during the summers...My parents paid for a 3-4 day trip for me when I was a teenager. It is not that big of a ship for sure...Climbing the tar-coated rat lines up to the crows nest was a hair on the chest experience for me....and I hate heights. The neat thing was we went through a couple T-Storms out on Lake Huron...sure did start rocking.

Lots of FUN!!!
