The U. S. Marine Corps hymn starts with”From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli”, and this film’s story purports to be the reason why, and is give or take a few incidents in this movie: It is 1805 and the Tripoli pirates have challenged America’s right to freedom of the seas—all of them, anywhere—so United Stares warships were sent to that port to bottle up their fleet and set the riff-raff right concerning who could sail where. (History begins to suffer a bit along about this point.) A U. S. Marine unit, headed by Lieutenant O’Bannon, was sent to attack them from the rear. He organized his unit around Hamet, Pasha of Tripoli, in exile after being overthrown by his brother. In Hamet’s court was Sheila D’Arneau, a diploma’s daughter, who disguises herself as a dancing girl, and joins the group of eight U. S. Marines and Hamet supporters in their march across the Libyan desert. O’Bannon and Shelia argue all the way to Tripoli.

Muito bom, musica excelente
The director made the end nicer,than most movies I've seen!
Not much has changed over the years. Bribery and corruption in high places.
Beautiful, yes, our beloved prophet Mohamed pbuh said that while he lusted for his son’s wife, of course As an LGBT supporter part of the problem comes from the lack of understanding of Muslims, their distancing with women and physical closeness to men are perfectly acceptable as our beloved prophet Mohamed PBUH, practiced homosexuality with Dihyah Al-Kalbi, blessings be upon him, the parts he shared in the prophet will never know hellfire. Follow the sunnah of the prophet openly, not in secret like 98.65% of Muslim men do. This creates resentment and violence. Peace to all, may the light of the rainbow guide you to Allah through our LGBT prophet Mohamed, blessings upon him.
Esta en ingles y no entiendo nada
I'm 25 minutes in and I've been wondering where the hell John Wayne is..
then I noticed it was John Payne.
I like the plastic chest pieces but an entertaining film ????
Great wee film!
Mrs O'Hara love of my life!
William Eaton a Army Lt was first in command with O'Bannon of the USMC second in command. The Arab mercenaries were not paid what they were owed.
❤
Another decent movie made idiotic by a grubbing female subplot
Another example of arrogant yanks. In reality if that upstart yank officer had behaved that way he and his men would have been beheaded even before he slashed the water containers.
48:50 Technically, by laws of today, this kiss is sexual assault. Then again , her slap on Lt.'s behind was similar. But its OK when woman does it.
US Combined forces , Navy, Marines, and US Army General, along with European (Greek) allies, and local pseudo-allies of convenience fighting against Islamic terror over freedom of navigation and security of Americans aborad.
Some things never change.
At 23:30 – 23:40. The shooting contest. I highly doubt that actually happened, given inaccuracy non-rifled bore muscets and smooth bore pistols shooting actual ball lead ball ammunition. This would not be attempted with modern Glocks and M4 series carbines.
