The Wild Geese Reviews
A Classic 70s Study in Moral Ambiguity
Murderers and mercenaries with conscience? The scene where Roger Moore forces a dope dealer to eat a bag of heroin is particularly disturbing. That, and the sacrificial ending, which I will not spoil.
I loved this film as a kid. This, and the excellent (and available) "The Dogs of War" are two of the best mercenary films ever produced.
As a fan of Burton, Harris and even Moore, I would love for somebody to finally release a region 1 version of this film on DVD. They've already done the telecine for region 2, so what's the hold-up?
Oh, and Hardy Kruger is great, too--as he was in "The Flight of the Phoenix."
PLEASE RELEASE THE REGION-1 DVD!!!
The Wild Geese
This is a must see film. The cast is one of the best ever assembled and portait the characters to a tee. A group of mercs enter South Africa in an attempt to rescue president Limbani (local black leader of sorts). This movie has it all and more besides, If you don't have a copy get one (if you can find one). It's only avalible on VHS which is ridiculous when you consider some of the second rate movies already released on DVD. This film MUST be brought out on DVD and SOON the public demand it!
