Volunteers (1986)
In this amusing antiwar comedy, seven inept and reluctant soldiers land on a desert island to carry on with the fighting. Just after their parachutes have collapsed behind them on the beach, helicopters approach and land nearby. Out pops a bevy of beautiful women sent to entertain the troops, which they do, and then they leave. From that point onward, there are a series of misadventures

Wonderful character development!
If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
The movie is a traditional Balkan war parody. Which is supported by many of former Yugoslavia's best actors. Legends such as Bata Ziviojinovic, Ljubisa Samardzic, Biljana Ristic and Radko Polic, make this movie a need to watch. Although the storyline isn't done to a 100%, there are many dialogues that amuse even those who have been in the war the movie is about. Some may say that the writers and director may have overdone a bit with some humor scenes, all in all it is still one of the best movies of the ending Yugoslav era. The idea that people are selected to battle for a country even if they aren't it's citizens is quite a sad thing, while here it's made to be a big joke. And not even knowing against who you fight are just some elements that make it a laughing movie. My personal top 20 so I give it a 9 (maybe over graded).
