"Of the original 70,000 prisoners, only about 500 remained. They were subjected to harsh treatment by the Japanese and many were stricken with malaria."
This is almost certainly baddly written and/or false. The 70,000 seems to be the number of soldiers who were in the Bataan Death March (the Wikipedia main article gives that number as 75,000. Not all of those prisoners were in the camp in question. Thus the 70,000 figure is misleading since there where survivors in other locations such as Japan. (Of course it was still very bad.) I don't think the error was part of the movie either. Anyone want to rephrase? MichaelSH 04:17, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
This article is more of a -- well deserved -- historical condemnation of the Japanese Empire than a description of the film. Most of this material really belongs elsewhere. This is a film review.
Image:Great raid.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 22:15, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Anyone know if Captain Eduardo Joson (later Governor of Nueva Ecija Province) is related to Ebong Joson, the actor who played him in this movie?PhantomWSO (talk) 20:19, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
Yes, Richard (Ebong) Joson is the grandson of Captain Eduardo Joson. Source: http://www.pilipino-express.com/history-a-culture/in-other-words/403-great-raid-john-dahl.html PlymouthPinoy08 (talk) 11:31, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
