Curiosidades

Suicide Battalion is a 1958 World War II film directed by Edward L. Cahn and starring Mike Connors, John Ashley, Russ Bender, Bing Russell, Walter Maslow and Robert Tetrick. In 1968, it was remade for television by Larry Buchanan as Hell Raiders, which was the film's original working title.

Production

The film was an original story by Lou Rusoff reportedly based on the capture of General William Dean during the Korean War. It was announced for production in November 1955 as Hell Raiders. It was to star Lance Fuller who had made Apache Woman for producer Alex Gordon and had signed a ten-film deal with AIP (or ARC as it was then known), to make two films a year for five years. Filming was to begin January 1956.

Filming was pushed back and Fuller did not make the movie. In April 1956 AIP announced that Richard Denning would star and that Edward L. Cahn would direct. Denning ended up not appearing in the film either, which was not made until late 1957.

Filming began on 12 November 1957. Star John Ashley was doing a six-month stint in the army at the time. The producers got him an early release to make the movie. Ashley later had a noted association with filmmaking in the Philippines.
