* ♠ Information on this film is scanty, but it appears to be about the effect of war on Vietnamese children.<ref>The film's Italian title is ''Sciuscià nel Vietnam'' (''Shoeshine in Vietnam'') with an implicit reference to [[Vittorio De Sica|De Sica's]] 1946 neo-realist classic ''[[Shoeshine (film)|Shoeshine]]'', a film about children. According to French Wikipédia, the film concerns « ''l'état d'innocence ou'' [sic] ''se trouvaient les enfants confrontés à cette guerre ininterrompue que décrit Coutard'' [the film's director]. ''Comme ils n'ont aucune notion autre que la guerre quotidienne et banale, ils s'y retrouvent bien naturellement pour vivre une existence que peu d'humains pourraient supporter en continu.'' » (But then, that's the resilience of children, isn't it?) See [[John Boorman|Boorman's]] ''[[Hope and Glory (film)|Hope and Glory]]'' for a close World War II equivalent.</ref> The novel's publication date implies that it actually concerned the First Indochina War.

The corpse continues to kick as the head receives a light roasting over the fire. Later, an Arab attaches the severed head to an RPG and shoots it into the Russian lines. Baltic women snipers target the crotch of a screaming Russian soldier. Black Americans laugh heartily as an Arab urinates on Russian corpses while performing a little dance. A Russian male sniper gains the upper hand when he takes out the groins of the Baltic women. The fact that a surviving Russian tank crewman has only one limb remaining makes it more difficult for the Chechens to crucify him. The blood-drooling Russian Christ survives long enough to see victory. Many urban warfare scenes involving tanks and infantry are effective. The Chechen commander smokes [[Sobranie (cigarette)|Sobranie Cocktail cigarettes]].</ref> Russian film, deemed "ultra-nationalist exploitation".<ref>Source: [[IMDb]] review by "Over Nine Thousand", 2008.</ref>
