Scene is after joker meets up with cowboy and animal. They are walking beside and behind tanks...

I think it's an ad for toothpaste. Hynos is a toothpaste brand according to what is written in french on the box : "pate dentifrice" means toothpaste in french. You see the same ad on the wall in the first in country scene (these boots were made for walkin') when the prostitute is approaching Joker and Rafterman in the famous "me so horny" scene.

Yeah. Over the top ad common in third world countries. Good eye there.

Thanks; I called him by his first name. One day I have to get a copy of the movie. My barber is from Vietnam (not to hijack the thread), at my last trimming an older fellow than me (61) by 12 years or so, and he were talking of how Vietnam has changed, and is still evolving from the war.

really like that movie

it accurately reflects some of the absurdity of war / military life and experiences

lots to relate to even if you weren't in Vietnam
