Best jump scene ever!
What do you get when you combine:
- a near-retirement, throw-away-the-book officer that has been stationed in the middle of nowhere with no supervision and only Vietnamese for friends for years
- a hardcore airborne officer that goes strictly by the book
- a nearing ETS soldier who's scared out of his shoes that he will be killed just before he catches the freedom bird
- an Iowa farm boy that left the farm to get away from those doggone animals ... animals that never did like him
- a fast-talking romeo-type acquisitions officer
- a cantankerous female elephant
- a Vietnamese boy whose only remaining friend is a cantankerous female elephant

and send the group on a cross country journey through enemy territory?

You get a Walt Disney classic that will have you feeling every possible emotion. I have seen this movie hundreds of times and still end up in tears when I watch it. It is hilarious. Oddly enough, it is based on an actual true event. Only the 101st Airborne would do something like this.

This has my favorite parachuting scene. When they drop Botat out of the plane, her static line has been severed by a bullet and does not pull her chute. Geez, the next couple of minutes will stick with you for the rest of your life!

The casting was absolutely perfect. Each person played his role to the max! This is the movie that really brought Ray Liotta to our attention. Playing opposite Danny Glover was the ideal combination. They really rock in this movie.

Get this one for the entire family to enjoy! Also order the soundtrack. Once you see the movcie, you will picture Botat in the back of that old truck every time you hear "Hang On Sloopy" and you will see the flying adventure when you hear "Your Love Keeps Lifting Me Higher." Order both today.

A Masterpiece for the Whole Family
This movie provides an excellent example of how military occupation can not only democratize, but also civilize primitive societies. Even those satan - worshipping, slanty eyed cretans, and their treasured pachyderm. Our president should watch this movie every time he makes foreign policy decisions.

Very Funny and Entertaining!
I thought this movie was a wonderful production, and it is mostly because of the cast. Glover was wonderful as the caring soldier who comes to love the village that he is responsible for. Liotta is also great as the hard-nosed, by-the-book soldier who comes to replace Glover's character in the village. When the town's elephant is killed by the Vietcong, it is up to them to produce another one. With the supporting cast of Doug E. Doug, Dennis Leary, and Corin Nemic, it a fun and entertaining movie. My favorite parts are with the elephant tranquilizer and the whole boat scene. I know anyone who sees this will love it, and I recommend it highly to anyone who wants to see a truly good movie.
