I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Acceptable at best. Not bad for a movie, however the quality in film was incredibly bad, not to mention the actors were a bit static in actions and speech. The Gymnastics were fair to a degree, but when did a lead-weighted baseball become such an effective weapon? The bad part to me was in overall uniforms, particularly the General's. Fist, German generals did not wear shoulder straps in that manner, nor were the many, incorrect ribbon boards produced nor worn by such officers of the German army I would recommend this movie for the "laid-back" movie viewer, and not hardcore war fanatics like myself.Give it a fair seven out of ten.

I have watched a lot of war movies in my time, so I feel that I can comment on any war film with authority. But, this film is so bad a chimp could easily see this movie is so terrible it is funny. The music at times appears to be happy-campy stuff from the 70's or from a bad porn movie. At times the music does not fit. The premise of the movie is OK, yet it is unbelievable that these Italians are American GIs. Lets see the Tap dancing soldier that uses a trampoline to get over a fence, oh boy would Joel, and Crow have fun with that one. There is a dark haired Italian beauty that is supposed to be an German secretary that works for the underground. I am surprised they did not include a Hogan's Hero's character for good measure. There is the usual good German general and the bad SS guy that disagree on how to treat underground prisoners. The movie was on one of those 16 movies for 10 bucks DVD in a bin at the drug store. The video quality looked like a bad VCR dub.

I found 'Five For Hell' immensely enjoyable. I purchased it for .79 cents on amazon marketplace and anxiously awaited it's arrival. When I saw this film I was consuming large amounts of bourbon and I must say, this greatly increased the enjoyment of what is unfairly called 'The Worst film ever made" by the previous reviewer. If you are a fan of fun, guys on a mission type War films, which avoid dramatic elements, and are loaded with excellent action sequences; then 'Five For Hell' is just the ticket. This film is not high art by any means. And for the record it is done in the vein of most Italian Exploitation/Action/War flicks. Pick this baby up and stop off at your local liquor, gun store. I suggest bourbon and shotgun and at least 3,000 rounds of ammunition. I would also suggest Castellari's 'Ingolorious Bastards' if you find this film appealing.HG

This is undoubtedly the worst film ever made! I challenge anyone to watch more than one quarter of this movie without going insane!
