I just can't find the words... Reading the title can make you understand already what type of a movie it is. And yes, it's a comedy. Really! Nobody can make a serious flick like that, the action sequences we're more realistic in "Hot shots"(I'm not being ironical) I'll just concentrate on the military point of view. A) the main character is supposed to be a bad-ass retired major. What kind of a leader would take into his team a psychopathic woman, a black serial killer/rapist,a skinhead, a Mexican gang member, a black gang member and some guy with who's martial arts he was just impressed with. What the hell was the criteria that he chose them for? He was not able to predict that there might be a few problems in the team? Rapist vs girl; skinhead vs blacks&Mexican; black vs Mexican etc. B) why are the Americans using an AK-47 and the Vietnamese M-16's?(using an AK-47 would be logical if you would want to use the enemy's ammo, but its kind of a fail if they're using a different caliber weapon) + where did the Vietnamese get Humvees and Huey's and M60's and M72's? Vietnam war leftovers? :S C) if the major wants 6 people in his team, I think he could be able to find 6 ex-soldiers in a prison, no? A 40 year old veteran would for sure be a better choice than a guy who doesn't even know how to use a gun. D) the major trained them to be soldiers in 1 day. impressive! E) well actually you can see the results in the entire movie, they don't have the best shooting techniques in the world :D the Mexican runs around the forest with 2 pistols, shooting berserk; the black guy shoots half the time an M4 from 1 hand and kills a lot of Vietnamese... again - just impressive. Oh yeah, if a helicopter arrives, obviously the best technique is that everybody takes their gun in one hand and shoots in the air. F) blood. incredible how much blood a skinhead can lose before falling down. any normal person would be in shock/unconscious from this huge blood loss, but not this guy, he can run at the same time and sometimes shoot back(PS! i loved his swastika tattoo :D some freehand drawing with black permanent marker) I'm too tired to think about this movie any more. just stay away from it, i think the writer was drunk/stoned and wrote it in 1 night. i enjoyed "mega shark vs giant octopus" 10x more.

OK, first of all I totally agree with the other comments regarding the shooting of assault rifles with one hand! Totally lame and fake.Also, the dude that played Caine in Menace II Society is totally stuck in Watts the way he shoots his assault rifle sideways! He is obviously trying to copy O-Dogg aka Larenz Tate.This movie had to be one of the worst movies of all time. Spelling BOYZ with a "Z" is an obvious attempt to try to blend in with the cool gangster themed movies of that area. Unless you are the Hughes brothers or John Singleton, Don't try to be Gangsta!! ps Jacqueline Obradors (Vasquez) is fine as hell

omigod what an awful movie! I'm sitting here at 2:22 AM on a Sunday morning just laughing my ass off at this stupid POS, its so ridiculous. What's even more amazing than the absurd plot, the cardboard characters, the incredibly inept acting, the racial stereotypes, the lousy camera work, the nonsensical editing, the cheap production values, is the fact that this many IMDBers took the time to write a 10 line review of this movie! Definitely not worth the time! Very sad Dirty Dozen ripoff. Thank God I had my timer set for thirty minutes and it clicked off after the first scene. Don't think I could have taken much more!. Good for some belly laughs , though! Kept waiting for Chuck Norris to show up....

I have trouble even knowing where to start. Okay here's a first go at it: WHAT THE F#CK!?Let me give you a summary of the concept of this movie: Punks, Vietnam... Vietnam bad, punks worse... Who win? I am about sure that was what the scenario-writer wrote down when he made up this movie, but then again he must've either been 11 or mildly-retarded.NOW, For the fantastic summary of stuff that makes this movie completely non-sense:A. Everyone seems to fire assault-rifles from the hip, Here's a tip: DON'T, you won't hit a squirrel even if it was attached to the barrel of your gun. B. Many fire assault-rifles using one arm, trust me... that will strain, break or ripture stuff in reality after a while.C.They fire a pistol holding the thing tilted to the side, you won't hit an elephant from a meter's distance doing that. D. The rebel Vietnamese fight for the purpose of 'No Trading With Tha Baddie U.S. of A.' but somehow they acquired U.S. made Hummers-trucks and Huey helicopters, Santa must've been sweet to them!! E. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, in this movie pulls a face when shooting as if someone said: "Here's a piece of concrete, eat it and then poop it out within now and 10 minutes or I will kill you with a fork." Can you imagine that look? Good... thats how they look. F. When one of the 'Operatives' is fleeing over a piece of grassland, he gets shot at by about 15 Vietnamese. He gets hit and during this firefight, the bullets seem to make him lose at LEAST 10 liters of blood. ...funny how we used to learn that a human has only so little amount of blood in its body. G. Why the hell are these American-criminals carrying AK-47's!? H. Since when do criminals make good soldiers? I. Since when do criminals turn good for no particular reason? J. Since when do criminals all look 'good'? Okay, I bet I've demotivated you to watch this movie, thats good! When should you watch this movie? You want to laugh, you want to be agitated, you're stoned. This must've been a made for TV-movie, right? Because everything about this movie is cheap and made without any motivation of making it work. Everything, from beginning to the end, is predictable. This movie is one hell of an insult to any Vietnam-veteran as well as any soldier in the world. Cheers for comparing the average soldier's-skill to that of an untrained criminal, they will appreciate it.The only thing I liked about this movie? This girl named Vasquez or something... why? She made me think of the girl that I love.
