Sahara (1995)
not a Sherman
the tank was an m-3 grant. it was a basic m-e lee with the top cupola taken off. the British did not like the height of the lee so they removed the cupola and renamed it the grant. same tank, 75mm in hull, 37 mm in turret, but no .50 cal in the top. it was used in most of the desert battles of world war II then was replaced after the German defeat in north Africa. it saw limited action in some of the other British areas of the war, but not to the extent that it did in north Africa. the tank in the original movie was an m-3 lee, cause there was surplus of them at the time in 1944. this must have come from a museum somewhere in Britain.

Sahara (2005)
Sahara
I am a big fan of clove cussler and Sahara was a minor disappointment to me. Mathew is a great actor but read the book and your too will be disappointed. Steve Zahn is also a good actor but no AL and Mather is no Dirk. Both of them needed to be recast with new actors. I did enjoy the movie, but it was not as good as it could have been. While it was a good movie, it was not is step with the book. No wonder Cussler is up set with them. I think that the guy from the movie arthur, the lead part, might have been better or even the guy from the first millionaire. I hope that if they make another one, maybe they will pick new actors for the lead roles. Cussler is an master of the mystery novel and his books are great. I do hope he has more control over the next one. jeff
