Dogfight
“The rules of the dogfight were simple. Everyone puts in fifty bucks. The guy with the ugliest "date" wins.”
In the fall of 1963, Eddie Birdlace is an 18-year-old Marine Corps volunteer who is about to ship out with three of his buddies for a tour of duty in Vietnam. Planning a massive blowout for their last night in San Francisco, Eddie, his buddies, and a number of other Marines set up a contest they call a "dogfight”.
