What follows is 40+ minutes of tanks, Tanks, TANKS. After all, the Germans have just given them a tank so why not take it for a drive? All the way to the Czech border, for instance. Nikolay senses an opportunity though, a chance for escape. Nikolay gets to pick his crew and they are given a beaten up and supposedly defenceless Russian T-34. Cut to down the line and the tank commander he faced in battle is now looking in a concentration camp for a POW tank crew who will be used as cannon fodder to train up German tank cadets. He makes an impressive showing, but in the end the tank is disabled and he’s captured. Our hero is Junior Lieutenant Nikolay Ivushkin (Alexander Petrov ) who is given a banged up tank and told to hold a village in the face of an impending German attack. This movie is a bombastic, patriotic, OORAH Russia and down with the stinking Germans heavy metal romp from start to finish, wonky dialogue insignificant in the face of slow-mo tank shells whizzing across the screen as this film sets out to show just what WW2-era tanks were capable of.
It’s reminiscent of the English dub for Das Boot, though that’s Shakespeare compared to Iron Fury.īut you know what? It doesn’t really matter. You do eventually stop noticing how horribly out of place it is, how both over the top and strangely flat it manages to be at the same time. Both of them are in English and the dub is, um… you get used to it, that’s the kindest thing that can be said here. You can choose stereo or Dolby surround and that’s it. The second is that this DVD has no options whatsoever for the audio language. The original Russian version clocks in at an impressive 139 minutes, while this Western release is only 108. The first is that somewhere along the way, 31 minutes of it has gone missing for this release. There are a couple of odd things about this DVD release of 2018 Russian movie Iron Fury (aka T-34).
