''[[Red Zone Cuba]]'', also known as ''Night Train to Mundo Fine'', is a movie about... well, it's hard to say really.

After less than 24 hours in boot camp and a laughable desertion attempt, the Army "strike force" (which consists of five guys, and gets [[handwaved]] by being a preliminary raiding force or something) "shoves off" to <s>New Mexico</s> Cuba to [[Historical In-Joke|pave the way for the main Bay of Pigs invasion]], only to be foiled by <s>a guy with a badly-fitted fake beard</s> Fidel Castro, who captures our daring trio and takes them to a POW camp. While in prison, Griffin learns that one of their fellow soldiers - on the verge of death - owns a valuable uranium/diamond/tungsten mine, and the three decide to break out and take control of the mine themselves.
Once back in the US however, the trio are distracted by a restaurant and decide to vent their frustrations by murdering the owner and raping his

* [[Acrofatic]]: Griffin
* [[Acting for Two]]: Producer Tony Cordoza plays both Landis and El Presidente himself.
* [[Anti-Hero]] - Supposedly Griffin (maybe), though any audience sympathy has evaporated by the time he's raping the restaurant owner's blind and deaf daughter.
* [[Artistic License Military]]: Apparently the entire process of enlisting, completing training, and being deployed on a top secret mission only takes 24 hours.
** Moreover, the US Army is willing to enlist hobos, some of whom have criminal records
* [[Author Appeal]]: Coffee, vigilantism, light aircraft, big breasts aimed at the camera -- it must be a Coleman Francis film!
Line 47 ⟶ 48:
* [[Bury Your Disabled|Rape Your Disabled]]: Griffin forces himself on a blind and deaf woman
* [[Rouge Angles of Satin]]:

** Even thought it's deliberate misspelling, director Francis even manages to screw up the joke by only allowing the viewer less than a second to read the sign.
