    • Trivia
      When Gunar (Dolph Lundgren) shoots the recoilless rifle at the enemy camp he says: "Spring, era jävlar!" which is Swedish for: "Run, you bastards!". This exclamation has become a cult classic line in Sweden.
    • Quotes

      Kiefer: This is not the ordinary I hit you, you hit me, I hit you, you hit me. No, no, no, no. This is I hit you, I hit you, I fucking hit you!

      [to his soldiers]

      Kiefer: Every time he touches me, kill one of his men.

    • Alternate versions
      There are 3 different video-prints out in Germany. The 16 and 18-rated Versions were heavily cut (so is the TV-Version); only the Unrated Rental-Video is uncut.

    a good action movie
    Men of War is a good action movie. Dolph Lundgren is cool as Nick Gunner, a mercenary hired to force natives to sign over mining rights of the island. When he decides to defend it, his employers hire his old enemy to kill him. The action sequences are pretty good, especially the fight scene at the end. And Catherine Bell (The chick from JAG) is pleasant as a women warrior. All in all, I recommend Men of War to anyone looking for an entertaining action movie.
