His character Major John Reisman did not appear in the next two "Dirty Dozen" TV movie sequels, The Dirty Dozen: The Deadly Mission (1987) and The Dirty Dozen: The Fatal Mission (1988).

- Quotes
Arlen Dregors: [telling his story] We were on patrol in this village. There we five men. Officers. They had this young girl trapped. They each took their turns with her. None of us did nothin' to stop 'em. You see, they were white officers, we were negro soldiers. When they finished, they got into their Jeep and... just drove away. Something just happened inside me.
Maj. John Reisman: You hit a lieutenant in the back of the head at 220 yards. That's a nice shot.
Arlen Dregors: The Army didn't think so.
Maj. John Reisman: But they're prejudiced. I'm not.
- ConnectionsEdited from The Dirty Dozen (1967)
Belated TV sequel tries to provide a seamless transition from the first film, and almost succeeds, but plot is uninspired, even silly(stop the assassination of Hitler? Unlikely in late World War II, but OK...) Works as well as it does by the good cast(Lee Marvin is still appealing, as are Borgnine and Jaeckel). Not bad at all, but hardly necessary! Still, there would be two more TV sequels, then a series.(Which I haven't seen).
