Passchendaele/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Anvilicious: David is thrown onto a massive cross made out of timber thrown out of the trenches when an artillery shell explodes near him. Dunne has to carry the cross (and David) across the battlefield, like Jesus.
  • Fridge Logic: Why would a military recruiter leave his job and travel all the way to Europe to apprehend a single soldier?
  • High Octane Nightmare Fuel: Blood, gore and rats crawling out of the mouths of soldiers are just the beginning.
  • Narm: The sex scene in the bombed-out building. Out of place and poorly acted, yet so funny.
  • Tear Jerker: The end credits, which play over footage from the actual Battle of Passcheandale and an appropriately stirring track by Sarah Slean and Sarah Harmer.
