[Jon Skagfeld]

Having a commercial break during this flick, which has been shown quite a few times, over the years. The comments may be of interest to Keith, Tony, Euan, Max (who did I forget?)

The last scene, before about 20 minutes of bloody commercials, has the SAS guys presenting the padre with the wanking machine.

As the padre marches away, after the presentation, and after having said that this was the best wanking machine that he's ever been presented with, the boys are singing:

"Here's to the padre, here at last
Here's to the padre, he's a wanking ass."

I doubt that 2% of Canadians know that Australians were fighting in Viet Nam. I also doubt that the same percentage knew that as many Canadians also fought in Viet Nam. So much for Commonwealth solidarity! Interesting to see Bryan Brown in a relatively minor role, he of Breaker Morant, Cocktails, and The Thornbirds.
