Force 10 from Navarone

The dam is blown by Barnsby and Mallory - after some nervous moments thinking that Miller's explosives haven't worked - and the deluge wipes out the bridge down river, leaving the team (finally bonded) stuck behind enemy lines and, in Mallory's words, "in for a very long walk home".

Revealing mistake: In one of the river flooding scenes after the dam bursts, you can see a modern day vehicle (most likely a pickup truck) for a few seconds on a highway next to the river. (01:50:30)

Trivia: The Chetniks were not one coherent group, as portrayed in the movie. There were in fact two opposing fractions: the first fought alongside the partisans, the others - founded by Kosta Pecanac (the featured group) cooperated with the Germans. Despite their public enmity, though, they still maintained good relations with each other, one of the facts which led to great confusion about the Chetniks among the Allies - probably the reason why they are portrayed here solely as 'bad guys'.
