D. N I may be judging this too harshly, but it really is such a departure from Cross of Iron. This is one of those films where you can clearly see that Richard Burton is doing the least he can do for a paycheck. Not one of the other named actors seems to have any drive to do their best, and it clearly shows. Yes, these were all aged actors, definitely not at the height of their careers, but damn, they are also all great actors and I expect more from someone with their caliber. Add to that a smaller budget (at least it seems way cheaper) and a convoluted and contrived plot, with often lousy dialogue, and you get a sequel that isn't even worth the title of the German release, because it literally has the same title with an added "2." And while "Cross of Iron" might not be Peckinpah's best, it is a film that doesn't deserve to be connected to this travesty.
