Featured review
Combat jumps the shark on this one
As if there hadn't been enough implausible story lines by 1967, now Saunders is administered mind altering pain killers when he's wounded (for a change) and taken prisoner to a German field hospital.Then he manages to escape (of course) by hi-jacking a kraut motorcycle (of course) while the hospital comes under heavy American shelling. Speeding along wearing a captured German uniform during a barrage of heavy American shell fire through a wooded area bouncing over shell craters and managing to evade Germans on the run, Saunders is higher than the guy who must have written this cheesy script...laughing in a drug induced craze worthy of Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda in Easy Rider or otherwise trying to be trendy during the Sgt Pepper drugged out times that Combat was now finding itself in during its last season.
