I love how trailers back then used to give you the entire plot of the damn film in one bite, and the concept of 'spoilers' never entered anyone's head.
Great movie based on the exploits of mercenary Mike Hoare and 5 Commando when they were fighting for Moïse Tshombe during the Simba Rebellion in the Congo.
Η καλυτερη περιπετεια με θεμα μισθοφορους,που εγινε ποτε στην ιστορια του κινηματογραφου.Ειναι η ταινια υμνος στους μισθοφορους.Ομοια της δεν προκειται να ξαναγινει.Ριτσαρντ Μπαρτον,Ριτσαρντ Χαρις,Χαρντι Κρουγκερ,και Ροτζερ Μουρ,με τις εξαιρετικες τους ερμηνειες,ειναι τα"κοφτερα διαμαντια"αυτης της ταινιας.Δυστυχως ουτε αυτη δεν εφτασε στα Οσκαρ.Τι κριμα...
lol they all looked 50 at least, the screenplay is grossly inaccurate.The white man didnt go to africa to help the black man or piggy back him, they went there to rob him of his resources like the slimy capitalists they are
@kazimann Well said. Everything from the inception of a merc op to the planning and execution was very well done. Realistic with believable characters. Not like the disposable crap they release nowadays.
Hah a bunch of S.A.S personnels and our own U.S Green Berets performing a daring feat to save a new democratic republic from Dictatorship.Sounds cool 25 Green berets + 25 S.A.S = 50 Wild Geese
Could you really see a bunch of auld farts that star in this movie jumping aff a slow moving berry bus ? let alone do a rambo job ? actors ? aye the goat lol.
the wild cheese. see DOGS OF WAR instead

wish they made movies like this today,
wish our military had half the balls, to chance our own government before we are in the land of goose steppers.
