Five for Hell (Italian:Cinque per l'inferno, also known asFive Into Hell) is a1969Italian "macaroni combat"war film starringJohn Garko,Margaret Lee andKlaus Kinski.[1] Italian cinema specialist Howard Hughes referred to it as a derivative ofThe Dirty Dozen (1967).[2]
Gianni Garko is a fun-loving leader of a bunch of oddball G.I.s whose mission is to steal the German's secret attack plans from a villa behind enemy lines, where they run into a brutal Nazi commander.
This film introduced, as it was typical in spaghetti combat films, a very particular and self parodic humour, using also elements inherited directly from theSpaghetti Western, such as the hero using eccentric and odd weaponry, such as an iron baseball.
