Private Manoeuvres

1983 · 90 min

A breezy, silly barracks comedy that coasts on broad slapstick and cheeky flirtation rather than plot.

Overview: A spin-off film that centers around Yudale/Huey's mandatory Israeli army service, post boot camp. This time he helps his sergeant Shemesh beat a rival base, while also beating him to score with the visiting Swiss Ambassador's wife.
How it feels: Light, absurd, campy and satirical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Friendship, loyalty, love, power
Content: Strong sexual content. Mild violence and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
