alan g Horrible tv movie. Avoid. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/07/24 Full Review Phil H Made for TV. Embarrassing to think they just get too greedy and have to keep coming out with this sort of drivel. When you've made the best film (The Original) don't bring out follow up bland movies! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/11/23 Full Review Audience Member I enjoyed it , not as good as the original though Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Telly Savalas and Heather Thomas go head-to-head with the Third Reigh in this, the third and final, TV movie sequel to "The Dirty Dozen." Ernest Borgnine returns as well, the only actor to appear in all four films. Lee Marvin is again absent, with Savalas filling in as the commander of the rag tag group of convict who have the choice to going on a suicide mission or face their prison sentences of life or execution. The dozen this times includes, besides Savalas and Thomas, Erik Estrada, Ray 'Boom Boom' Mancini, Jeff Conaway, Ernie Hudson and John Matuszak. Like the other TV sequel, this film again is essentially a tepid remake of the original, but this Sands of Iwo Jima/Heartbreak Ridge formula does have it's charm. Certainly not a classic and nowhere in the same league as the original, but it was entertaining. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This is the last sequel to The Dirty Dozen. Though Tully Savalas was good in this as the leader, it fell flat. Its not as good as its predecessor. It was actually pretty long and boring. In short it was a major drop off from Dirty Dozen Deadly mission Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member This was really horrible. As much as I like Telly Savalas, he really should have just stayed dead after the first Dirty Dozen. Age was holding him back from really putting forth the goods for the mission, and his movements and action were fit only for a command behind the desk with Ernest Borgnine. Putting ERIC ESTRADA???...in this film at all instantly made this film instead of a great classic, a horrible D- rate movie. The worst scene was the last where the main German Officer just stands on the tracks shooting in complete stupidity at the unmanned steam locomotive bearing down on him, instead of regrouping with his men to attack the Dirty Dozen, who were already off the train and on the ground.
