Trivia:

Portions of the film were shot on a two camera 3-D system developed by the cinematographer Bob Sherry. Richard Crawford's creative concept was to heighten the reality of Vietnam by shooting all action war sequences in 3-D and color. The "other world" reality of the US was shot flat and in black and white.

More fun than EASY RIDER

An interesting anti-war movie, though the psychedelic sequences and "hip" dialogue make it at times humorously dated. The most striking feature is its alternating color/black and white cinematography, similar to NATURAL BORN KILLERS. Did Oliver Stone see this? Sometimes silly and amateurish, but still worth watching.
