oh yea i forgot to say after the book the wages of fear the first movie was in latin then latter on made in english in 19 77 i think it was ,but still a keeper !
The book "Easy Riders, Raging Bulls" tells a lot about this film. Friedkin intended this to be a little "in between film" before he started his film about the Bermuda Triangle, until Spielberg did Close Encounters. Steve McQueen was supposed to have Schieder's part and dropped out because Friedkin insisted on filming in South America. And the film opened the same time as Star Wars. Still a great film, strange, but great!
this movie is amazing!!! roy cruisin' through the jungle with the nitro in the back of his truck is just too intense!!! crossin' the collapsing bridge? awesome!!!
Sorcerer is one of the greatest films ever made. A re-make of the great french film, The Wages of Fear, this film suffers from one flaw, the title. The title is misleading,{one of the trucks in the film is called sorcerer)you could have called the film almost anything else and more people wold have seen it. As so this film is one of the most underated films of all time.
I forgot what a gripping film this was.
I loved the beginning, where they show each character and why they are so desperate they'll work for this company.
The twist at the end was very sad, I thought... though fitting.
I think I liked this better than the French version, it's been a long time. No place to rent 'em here in this little town I'm in. I would if I could!
In the meantime, I have the Tangerine Dream CD to remind me.

I heard the soundtrack first, then watched the movie... I've watched it a ton of times, and Roy Scheider is awesome in this!

30th Anniversary edition is supposed to be coming out soon... real widescreen, probably remastered color or something. Should be good!

A really fantastic movie. Such a shame it was not a hit for Friedkin and Scheider.

@cameraeye1 Well, no, not quite. But the ending certainly is one of the best of the 70s!
