doubleonothing Posted 12 August, 2012 Posted 12 August, 2012 Flicking through the tv channels just now, I notice that Escape to Victory is on. Got me thinking, who would you have in a re-make of it (if one were to be made today)?
Frank's cousin Posted 12 August, 2012 Posted 12 August, 2012 Dune as any of the Nazi propaganda officers Charlie ayman as the commentator?
Lighthouse Posted 12 August, 2012 Posted 12 August, 2012 The true story behind that film is fairly interesting. It's based on FC Start a bunch of Dynamo Kiev players who worked in a bakery before the war. They played the Luftwaffe in 'The Death Match' and half of them were executed after they battered the German's in the match. Not sure about the team, just as long as Vinnie Jones isn't in it. Mean Machine made my eyes bleed.
alpine_saint Posted 13 August, 2012 Posted 13 August, 2012 Beckham would have to replace Bobby Moore Duncan Ferguson to replace John Wark Cristiano Ronaldo to replace Ossie Ardiles Dennis Bergkamp to replace Co Prins Wayne Rooney for Mike Summerbee Mario Balotelli to replace Pele Michael Laudrup to replace Soren Lindsted Shay Given for Kevin O'Callaghan Vin Diesel to replace Sylvester Stallone Andreas Möller (that oily c*nt from the Euro 96 penalty shoot-out) to play Baumann. Or Michael Ballack.
stu0x Posted 13 August, 2012 Posted 13 August, 2012 The true story behind that film is fairly interesting. It's based on FC Start a bunch of Dynamo Kiev players who worked in a bakery before the war. They played the Luftwaffe in 'The Death Match' and half of them were executed after they battered the German's in the match. Not exactly... the match did happen, and FC Start beat Flakelf (a team made up from the Wehrmacht, not the Luftwaffe) 5-3. Subsequently some of them ended up at Syrets, a labour/concentration camp, and in total 6 died either there or at the hands of the Gestapo. But there's no real evidence to suggest that the two were linked, they just suffered the same unpleasant fate as a lot of their community. Actually primary anecdotal evidence suggests that after the match the players were treated with respect and support by the local garrison, and it wasn't until 10 days later that the Gestapo (a very separate organisation to the Wehrmacht) scooped up three of them suspecting them to be members of the NKVD.
