 One of the Best if you want Historical WWII Tank Accuracy! October 24, 2000
Denny Hair (Hockley, Texas United States)

One of the Best if you want WWII Historical Tank Accuracy I recently viewed this film at a friend's home which prompted me to buy it. I can not remember seeing a more historically correct film as far as the WWII Sherman Tank is concerned. If you want to see real WWII tanks in action, outside of historical footage, this film is one of the best. The acting and dialogue is a bit dated but many cliches are used that fit the period. The German uniforms and gear is historically (hysterically) very rough by any standards. Among American armor and military collectors this film should rates high as it was filmed in 1951 when the army still had the materials in service. For that reason it would be impossible to recreate this film today without millions of dollars and computer animation, if then. I give it 3 stars as a film, 1 star for acting and 5 stars for the historically accurate WWII Sherman Tank and the Armored Divisions and their men of WWII.
 Fun to Watch Period Film June 28, 2002
Scott T Anderson (Denver, CO USA)
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
A war film fun? In terms of a movie that is hard to take seriously, yet is worthy of veiwing, yes. There is footage galore of period, (1951) Sherman tanks as well as T2 amored recovery vehicles and some M-26 Pershings. M10 tank destroyers masquerade as Panthers, oh well. The cast includes the mucn loved tank commandered who becomes a casualty and is replaced by a hard-bitten sargent with a past. We also get to enjoy a comical sidekick mechanic who knows the inferior Shermans must be replaced with a better tank. Really, good stuff, just don't take it seriously. Make some popcorn and enjoy!
 Great look at the war December 31, 2004

I enjoyed this film because my grandfather was the commander of a Sherman M4A3. The storyline was pretty common, but the action was done extremely well. It gave me a better picture of what my grandfather went through. I highly recommend it!
I was an extra in The Tanks Are Coming. August 30, 2007
Suwannee Sam (White Springs, Florida)
Many of the tank scenes in this movie were filmed in Ft. Knox, Kentucky. My father was with the armored 6th Cavalry in General Patton's 3rd Army in WW2 and was stationed at Ft. Knox in 1951 when the movie was being made. My mother and I (I was 10 at the time) were extras in the role of war refugees/civilians. We were dressed in ragged clothes and cheered the tanks when they liberated our town/country. The scenes where the tank crews threw candy to the kids were my favorite ones. I remember seeing a great many tanks on site and witnessed the shooting of a few of the scenes with the lead actors in them. Great fun for a ten year old kid!
