Review of Platoon Leader (1988) by Allan C — 01 Jan 2018
Golan/Globus Cannon Pictures nonsense pretending it's a serious film about the Vietnam War. The American Ninja, Michael Dudikoff, plays a young officer (not a ninja), just out of West Point and sent to Vietnam.
Dudikoff must then earn the respect of his battle hardened men. Nothing you haven't seen before and done much better, but on the plus side, there is a small role for my all-time favorite character actor, William Smith, as a commanding officer.
FUN FACT! This was directed by Chuck Norris' brother and is the only film he ever directed that didn't star Chuck.
