Title: movies with Flashbacks to 'Nam....
Post by: zombie no.one on May 01, 2020, 08:05:43 AM
just watched FINAL SCORE (1986) again last night. Chris Mitchum's character has a few Vietnam war flashbacks while he's out seeking revenge

there must be loads of other movies where a character has nam flashbacks. it's almost a cliché... what are some others?

there's an early 80's cannibal one I'm thinking of but the name escapes me

^ I believe the cannibal one is CANNIBALS IN THE STREETS (1980).

I know COMBAT SHOCK (1984) has lots of 'Nam flashbacks..

Strawberry starts to notice a rather obvious surveillance team on his block, but instead of turning around, he starts hearing explosions & goes into survival mode......

FIRST BLOOD
BLACK DYNAMITE
JACOB'S LADDER
HOUSE

Firefox (1982)
Clint Eastwood plays a washed up secret agent who happens know how to fly a jet fighter, & happens to fit the pressure suit of the soviet test pilot for a new plane.

Whenever things get tight, he has to fight back against flashbacks to the one time he got shot down in 'Nam...

Several of the Magnum PI episodes (including the pilot) had flashback episodes to Vietnam as Magnum was a veteran.
