Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Eleventh Lancers is most likely a reference to 11th (Prince of Wales's Own) Bengal Lancers, a regiment initially formed in 1876. It was an Indian Army regiment, not a British Army one.
- GoofsThere are many scenes in which General Melville and Colonel Rivington are the only officers wearing medal ribbons on their uniforms. All officers should be wearing their medal ribbons when in uniform.
Featured review
B Movie Propaganda Theme Dull
While making a movie that has the Soviets as the bad guys, this time subbing in Imperial Russians since it was set in the 1800s, is not bad in itself. The Communists were as awful as their worst critics said they were. But propaganda themed flicks tend to suck in general, even if the foe was a worthy one.
Robert Egan really irritated me. His permanent sneer was a real turn off. He played the typical brash American masquerading as the brash Canadian colonial officer in the stuffy British army. His foolish behavior was supposed to be endearing but it was so poorly done that it reminded me of the archetype 50s rebellious teenager more than an army officer.
The action scenes were simply cowboy and Indians subbed in with lancers and Afghan guerrillas exchanging lever action for bolt action rifles. The outdoor sets looked like the same ones they used in many westerns. It was a tired flick that lacked any charisma or hook. I saw it on Netflix and it took four sessions to get it all in.
It wasn't all terrible. It had a part where he got "disgraced" in order to go "rebel" and deceive the native officer he thought was a friend, Raymond Burr as an Indian Muslim and infiltrate their underground. The conclusion could be figured out from a scene in the middle where a "new" weapon was shown to the Brit officers.
It wasn't horrid but don't go out of your way to watch it
