Where should I even begin? The Vietnam war is not going too well for the Americans, and they are in desperate need for truck drivers! To fix this they hire a bunch of Vietnamese dudes without telling them about the inherent dangers of truck driving. They get some basic training in driving jeeps and knife fighting (glorious montage) and set out into the jungle. Of course shit hits the fan almost immediately, some dudes are killed by the Vietcong, before the truck drivers find themselves prisoners. Their captors are rather bad people and torture them to the point where people begin to literally jump out of their own skin. The flick Jungle Heat jumps a lot around though, and we have a love story, shady chaps playing the "ratgame" (what a game!), before a dude named Richard absolutely positively has to be rescued (it has barely been established that Richard is even a character up until this point). Of course, this movie ends with what these movies usually ends with - a bizarre logging accident. Fucking a!
