Beach Red (1967)
So this was on TCM last night. I've never seen it before for some reason.
The terrain and jungle looked too much like the Philippines and the "Japanese" looked too Filipino. I googled it and sure enough it was shot in the Philippines and the Japanese were Philippine Army extras.
And in one scene where the marines were climbing down the rope to get to the landing craft, the landing craft name was "Albay" which is a province in the Philippines. Ahhh... the good ol' days of when they actually shot movies in the Philippines.
