Born To Fight (1989 Film)
''Born to Fight'' (aka ''Nato per combattere'') is a 1989 action film, starring Brent Huff, John van Dreelen, Werner Pochath and Mary Stavin. The film was shot in the Philippines due to low budget in 1988 and is the third time − after ''Strike Commando 2'' (1988) and '' Cop Game'' (1988) − when Brent Huff worked with director Bruno Mattei.

When Wood returns to rescue his friends, he finds that they are already dead. Some time later a woman named Maryline Kane ( Stavin) offers him a tremendous amount of money if he will accompany her back to the area where the prison camp was to do interviews for a documentary story. It all turns out to be a lie − her father is now a prisoner in the camp, and she knows that only a man like Wood can help set him free. Sam adopts a proposal, but the situation is much more com ...

Macaroni Combat Films
Macaroni (, Italian: maccheroni) is dry pasta shaped like narrow tubes.Oxford DictionaryMacaroni/ref> Made with durum wheat, macaroni is commonly cut in short lengths; curved macaroni may be referred to as elbow macaroni. Some home machines can make macaroni shapes but, like most pasta, macaroni is usually made commercially by large-scale extrusion. The curved shape is created by different speeds of extrusion on opposite sides of the pasta tube as it comes out of the machine. The word "macaroni" is often used synonymously with elbow-shaped macaroni, as it is the variety most often used in macaroni and cheese recipes. In Italy and other countries, the noun ''maccheroni'' can refer to straight, tubular, square-ended ''pasta corta'' ("short-length pasta") or to long pasta dishes, as in ''maccheroni alla chitarra'' and ''frittata di maccheroni'', which are prepared with long pasta like spaghetti. In the United States, federal regulations define three different shapes of dried pa ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
