I think this film is very funny

I taped most of this film from a late night show a few years ago but I wish it would come on again. It is a serious film that turns out sort of un-serious. The way all the German soldiers get shot the same way and have to do the obligatory summersault before "dying". Jacks German helmet was too big and with the coat a few sizes too small makes him look like one of the three stooges.One incident when Jack is shot by a machine-gun he catches just one bullet dead center of his arm - what incredible luck!yea right. I love this movie!
