Description
GUNG HO! Starring: Robert Mitchum and Randolph Scott. SYNOPSIS: GUNG HO! is the true story of a special battalion picked from the toughest men in the U.S Marines and given the dangerous mission of recapturing Japanese-held islands in the South Pacific during World War II. Hollywood tough guy Randolph Scott stars as their commander, Colonel Thorwald, who recruits and trains the soldiers--collectively known as "Carlson's Raiders"--in all imaginable forms of combat, culminating in an explosive battle sequence at the Japanese stronghold on Makin Island. The film, which also features a great performance by legendary icon Robert Mitchum, introduced the expression "gung ho" to the American vernacular and was an important piece of morale-raising propaganda during U.S. involvement in World War II. The title comes from the Chinese phrase meaning "work together," and was a popular expression among Marines during World War II. The film dramatizes the first American offensive in the Pacific when land was recaptured from the Japanese on Makin Island. A detailed description of the preparations show the selection and training of 200 Marines, their transportation by submarine to the island, and finally, the raid itself. Most of the narrative comes from first-hand accounts of the battle, giving the film's action a hard-edged realism.
