IMDB: Battle of the Bulge. Reviewers notice continuity errors:

"'I need to look inside one of those tiger tanks' says Henry Fonda . But they're not Tigers, … they`re American tanks from another generation."

The Official James MacArthur International Fan Club Website . MacArthur (Danno on Hawaii 5-0) also played in Battle of the Bulge.

Review by Zorikh Lequidre for AllWatchers.com, "Much more entertaining than it is historically accurate."

"Sgt. Slaughter" war reviews:

"Another harmful factor is the lack of good scenery. The film was shot in Spain because of the low production costs and easy access to plenty of military equipment. The scenery suffers on a grand scale. The real battle took place in the thickly-wooded, freezing Ardennes forest. In the film, it takes place along dusty sand dunes and nobody looks the least bit cold."

Kult Movie Maximus!! "… any World War II historians should steer very, very clear." (Still, among such gems as "Killer Crocodile," "The Dead Pit" and "Dagon," this is practically Citizen Kane.)
