One of my all time favorites.

I have the directors cut on DVD, obviously the Critics are disgruntled film students.

Ya forgot Christopher Lee (aka Dracula), John Candy, and that other guy (the one with the white mouse on his shoulder) from the Canadian version of Saturday Night Live, ummm, what was the name of that show again?    

Music was by Paul Williams too.
And the story was from Robert Zemeckis, didn't he do that Back to the Future movie?

Screw them critics, I got the Director's Cut too, and I give it TWO THUMBS and TWO BIG TOES UP one of the best movies of all time IMHO.

I want to have some peaks like John "Wild Bill Kelso" Belushi hadda fly thru right after he tore a hole thru the middle of his map.   Good God! the look on his face is priceless

That's the one!  Very funny too, Rick Moranis, Harold Ramis, John Candy, etc. Just too bad they all foreigners.

Was for sure superior to anything in the German panzer armory at that time     And it played a major part in most north african battles...

Of course then Tiger came and many things changed

By the time the Grant was inroduced the Germans had both the Panzer IIIjL60 and the Panzer IVf2 in North africa. The IVf2 (75mml43 gun) was extremely rare(single digits at the time) but could quite handily deal with a Grant. The PzIIIJL60 (50mm L60)was more common and could give a great account for itself against the Grant.
The Grant was more common than either German tank at the time of the fall of Tobruk but never the less they were there.
sory to wreck your 1941 thread...cool show, Ill have to get it again...

The 75L31/m2 was okay but I'd nearly bet most of the kills came from the 37mm. As with the 37mm's and 50mm's of the Panzers.

I can't really speak on how they used it North Africa but during the PTO it was normally just a CS gun because of aiming problems. Granted it was great because it could carry AP shells but...it was prefered to take a full load of FH shells for Pillbox busting. Twas a great gun at range but up close the 37mm was far better. And then you had aiming problems at range  

And the Tigers vs Grant/Lee...hehe reminds me of the Pz38's who had no problem handing it to the Renault crews. Then there was the Kv-1. Bah ha ha  

The PzIII crews had more trouble with the Matilda's anyway
