3 Days in Malay

Go into the street, find the filthiest beggar, and get spit in the face. This will more worthwile than watching this garbage.

I guess someone really wanted a paid vacation in Thailand, got himself a ChatGPT script, and somehow found some chumps to invest in a fake movie.

I'm ashamed to say I sat through this whole insult to humanity, but here's a few details:

• dialogue is abysmal and nonsensical
• all the "japanese" are clearly from southeast asia.

• peasants from southeast asia saunter through a battlefield that's not even on the same continent
• the machine guns are made of rubber, you can actually see the barrels flexing.

• acting is... just... just stop

Utter trash.

I know a fair bit about WW2 -- my dad served in the USN in Pacific and I grew up watching Victory at Sea. Over and over. Lately, I've been reading about the loss of Singapore and then the slow counter in the China-Burma Theater. Closest that Marines might have come to Malaya might have been when USS Saratoga (CV-3) was sent to train with the British Eastern Fleet in 1944. If there were any Marines aboard Saratoga.

If anything like this ever happened, it would have been British, Indian, or Australian troops holding off the Japanese.

This mess appears to have begun as a script about a company of the US Army bravely defending a fort against human-wave attacks of Indians, standing their ground in the stockade walls and hoping to hear the bugles of a cavalry regiment sent to their rescue. Of course, western forts did not have stockades, while they did have cannons, and western Indians did attack forts, and, even more, Indians did not attack in human waves.

Or, perhaps, the director got the script from John Ford's "Drums Along the Mohawk", 1939, and, randomly picked out a war and signed up some unknown actors to replace Claudette Colbert and Henry Fonda.

The acting is terrible and the dialogue is horrendous. The scene set ups are in a word abysmal while the uniforms, weaponry, personnel interactions and just about everything else is time period incorrect. I think the ONLY thing correct about this movie is that during World War II the United States was at war with Japan. Whoever gives this Movie even a mediocre review Should seriously consider getting a mental health review. Whoever financed this movie either needed a losing tax break or promised someone they could get them into a movie and this was the only way they could do it. To say don't waste your time would be an understatement.

The film is full of crazy scenes, such as spying on the enemy walking at a distance of 20 meters with binoculars. Using machine guns that shoot without bullets. You can really see that these were not loaded. During an attack, several Japanese are shot dead who fall in front of the defense, a few minutes later a second attack follows and the previous victims suddenly were remove the scene. Between attacks, soldiers play cards and no one stands guard. It was more like a hobby club. Otherwise terrible conversations. I really don't recommend this movie to anyone. I really didn't watch the movie until the end and turned it off after 3/4. What a waste of time.

Based on a true story. I dont think so First the title. Malay is a language not a country.

All the fighting in Malaya which i assume this is what they were meaning involved only British and Commonwealth troops There were no Americans involved not that that has ever stopped Hollywood before.

Lets face it large numbers of people out there who nelieve that hollywood movies are real history Saying it was based on a true story is a insult to all the allied troops incolved in the war in the far east. All i can say is don't waste your time on this rubbish There are far better films out there to watch.
