Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan – Official Teaser Trailer

Film of Australians and New Zealanders in the Vietnam War. Text says due in Cinemas on August 8 (N.A. i hope). I will have to check this summer to see if it will be playing in one of the many theaters in/around Chicagoland.

Relevant to my interest.

Hope it comes here

Watch the trailer yesterday, hell yeah, I will watch it.

second trailer was posted a few weeks ago (first trailer above in first post). release date of August 8 from the description.

This looks really good. I'll be watching it.

edit: I just checked on IMDB and there is no North American theatrical release date so this will either show up on some streaming service or cable channel. Maybe we'll get a small limited release via Fathom Events like what was done with the WWI documentary by Peter Jackson.

An interview with Lt Col Harry Smith who commanded the Australians and New Zealanders at Long Tan is up at the guardian site

My best mates Dad was involved. We are super keen to go.

Thanks for posting, looks good - and it's got SLRs! A worthy successor to 'The Odd Angry Shot'.

Its available now on Amazon prime and iTunes effective 08/Nov, definitely will be checking it out over the weekend!

I am watching this right now. I must be ignorant. I didn't know Australia had troops in the Vietnam War, along with South Korea, Thailand, New Zealand and the Philippines, fighting alongside the American army,

You need to watch ''The Odd Angry Shot'' all about the Australian SAS in Vietnam..

Just finished it. Loved it! Kinda reminded me a bit of "We Were Soldiers"

I give it a 3.5/5, there was no character development so when someone was killed (a good guy) it was just “hmmm. That sucks.” And who the hell had them all just standing around in the open when they got to the hut? Go prone, take a knee behind cover, something!

I liked it.

Is there a link to the trailer in the first post ?? All I see is a WIKI link

Drop Shorts won that battle.Same as what they did for the battle of La Drang Valley..
We Were Soldiers was a great movie but you need read the book of the same name.

Thanks Pooch

Spitty it's Ia Drang valley

Looks like a fun show.

I use the poor man's netflix of the public library for a lot of movies/shows/docs. I asked my public library to purchase the bluray and/or DVD of Danger Close and I received a notice that the film is on order and the item will automatically be placed on hold when the copies arrive.
