Sci-Fi Movie about the Alamo?

[Drayton Calhoun]

 Does anyone here remember a movie that came out in the late '80s about a Texas National Guard unit that gets transported back in time to the Battle of the Alamo? I saw the VHS years ago and intended to rent it for chuckles, but never got around to it. Now, I don't remember the title.

Missed that one ..Saw one on Twilight Zone  an Army Sherman Tank and Crew on a training junket find themselves at the Little Big Horn...They hear shooting leaving the Tank behind climb the hill , and in the end their names are inscribed on the Monument to the Custer Fight.
The tank is found abandoned.

Remember the episode of the Time Tunnel about the Alamo? I believe it showed Travis when he was shot sporting a pair of plated Peacemakers. Altered time...altered reality, lol

       How about the one where Elvis played Davie Crockett in a buckskin jump suit, Travis was a Vulcan and Bowie was a Klingon.  I think I remember seeing it on TV at a party in the late 60s.

Timothy Leary wouldn't have been the host, would he? LOL

That was one of my favorites.

As a child I grew up on a diet of Warner Brother Westerns, shows like TZ scared me but this episode always fascinated me. I love the scene where the tank crew goes over the hill to join Custer's command carrying M1 carbines and 1911s.

“ Sergeant William Connors, Trooper Michael McCluskey, and Trooper Richard Langsford, who on a hot afternoon in June made a charge over a hill - and never returned. Look for this one under 'P' for phantom, in a historical ledger located in a reading room known as the Twilight Zone."

Imagine the look on everyone's faces when they see an M3 Stuart with that pea shooter barkin' fire.

To put this somewhat back on track, I never saw the film, but the title of the novel is "Remember the Alamo."  I have it around here somewhere; will have to find it.  The book is also available on amazon, but didn't know it had been a movie.

Yep. Rememeber seeing the VHS sleeve, showed several National Guardsmen in front of the chapel with M-16's at the ready with Crockett and Travis beside them I believe.
