Review of The Siege of Firebase Gloria (1989) by Greg W — 25 Oct 2007
I had to go to eBay to buy a [i][b]VHS[/b][b] copy [/b][/i]of this old flick I remembered seeing late one night on cable. It's really another excuse to see R Lee Ermey do his Sergeant bit again after "Full Metal Jacket" immortalized him in that role, and in this Aussie-made Vietnam movie, Ermey does not disappoint.
Rotten actor Wings Hauser plays a confused and sadistic sidekick to Ermey, and lots of stock characters assist. A rather different take on Vietnam than I've seen before, and I've seen a LOT of "Vietnam" movies.
It's a solid 8 on the B-movie scale. Joe Bob Briggs would approve.
