The Wild Geese (DVD, 2005, 30th Anniversary Edition)

Excellent movie. Another old movie, but great one. If you like movies about Military/Mercenary missions, than this is the show for you. I really enjoyed this movie. Finally, we are seening some of the old great movies making its way to DVD.

The actors were top notch and it was a fast moving and interesting story..I seen the movie years ago and always wanted to get a copy on a dvd but couldn't find it..Luckily a friend notified me about one on ebay..The only thing I disliked about it is the ending..

Richard Burton, Richard Harris, Roger Moore, Hardy Kruger and Stewart Granger!
What a hoot! This is a man's movie!
Richard Burton Leads a group of mercenaries on a precision strike to free a kidnapped African Leader [Winston Ntshona]. All goes well until wealthy businessman Sir Edward Matherson[Granger]double crosses the group.
What follows is an action packed escape from darkest, war torn Africa.
The action is nonstop, the script is formula and the ending is expected, but the real treat is to watch these powerhouse British actors as they play off each other while making one of this reviewers favorite movies.
Add a supporting cast of who's who in English theatre, Jack Watson, Kenneth Griffin, Frank Finlay..........and you get the best that Britain has to offer.
check it out. If you like a night of in your face action and the good guys finally win, although with reservations, you need this flick!

This movie is worth an evening. Its about a group of aging British and South African mercenaries that are hired to go out into the African bush and rescue a deposed African President of an ‘unnamed’ country and bring him out. The story goes through their training and mission. The mission is ruthless and goes perfect, until the mercenaries are left behind when their employer makes a deal with the new dictator.

The story is somewhat dated with the ‘stiff upper lip’ still firmly in place in this film, but its also great fun. With Roger Moore (James Bond), Richard Burton & Richard Harris (Who played Dumbledore in the Harry Potter movies) the cast is outstanding and Stewart Granger as the businessman who betrays them and is truly a man you like to hate.

I bought this movie for my husband. He absouletly loved it. It was brand new in original packaging.

I saw it before and really liked it. I thought Richard Burton, Richard Harris and hard Kreguer did a great job in the movie.

Ordered the movie for my husband who is in Iraq, they really enjoyed it. Thanks for the fast shipping as well.

I had viewed this movie some 15/20 years ago and truly loved the character portrayal by the fine actors selected for this movie. I have been trying to acquire it, over the past few years, at the local video stores and had been unsuccessful. Then I tried e-bay and lo and behold I know have the video to add to my collection.
The follow up movie Wild Geese II does not measure up to the original.

An All-star cast heads this movie of Roger Moore (Octopussy, Moonraker,
Gold, many 007 movies, etc); Richard Burton (Night of the Iguana, Beckett,
Where Eagles Dare, etc) and Richard Harris (Unforgiven, Patriot Games,
A Man called Horse, etc). In the movie, A British conglomerate sends
a group of aging mercenaries into the African wilderness to rescue an
influential political leader and advance its own business interests.
Problems arise when the mercenaries accomplish their mission but the
company decides to strike a deal with the enemy, an oppressive military
dictator. The action comes fast and furious afterwords as the mercenaries
decide to set things right-and get what they were promised. The director
here is Andrew McLaglen - and he already has a slew of BIG hits in his
name (Sahara, Ffolkes, Chisum, The Undefeated, Sea Wolves, etc) and adds
another one here with plenty of gunpowder and excitement. He certainly
gets great acting jobs from all the stars as well as co-stars Hardy
Kruger (many German an British movies) and Patrick Allen (British Star also).
If you like war action, adventure or simply action movies- you should like
this one. If you have watched DOGS OF WAR or SEA WOLVES and enjoyed those
movies, you will most likely enjoy this one also--especially SEA WOLVES as
this movie kind of goes as the land version of the SEA WOLVES sea adventure.
This is not a great movie-but it is on the highest level of GOOD and most
people will certainly get a full nights entertainment out of this flix.

If you love action and international intrigue,,, this is the movie for you. I love this movie,, if you loved Dogs of War w/ Walken and Berringer you'll love this.

i bought the movie a few weeks ago. i am very pleased with the dvd. the quality of the movie was great.

I like the service it got here when he said and the video was good quality
would do business again

This film was ordered in late January and as to date mid March I have not received my purchase. I previously owned this film on VHS and I believe this film to be a must have movie for military buffs. It belongs in my collection along side of movies such as The Great Escape, The Sand Pebbles, and Where Eagles Dare.

I love this movie! I watched for the first time when I was a little kid and loved it since. When I saw it on dvd I couldn't believe it! Had to have this war classic!

Older movie that I haven't seen in a long time . I don't know if it was ever on regural cable or TV. It is a little slow getting going but it fiishes fast.

This nowadays would be considered a very 'dated' movie, but having seen it when it first came out (yes, I am one of the 'older' guys) it was 'state of the art' action. There are mercenaries nowaday much more capable of killing with extremely efficient weapons than what they did in this movie and with a lot more 'flash and bang' with all todays special effects and CGI. But the story was plausible and the 3 actors that made it worth while watching. The 3 actors, Richard Harris, Roger Moore and Richard Burton, were a pleasure to see in one movie. All 3 were great in their time and Richard Harris and Richard Burton are sadly missed, they were great actors. Roger Moore is gracefully aging and still looks fit at the ripe age of 71.
But would I recommend the movie? Absolutely!

We had seen this movie at the theater when it was released what can I say
the cast is amazing although I hated to see Michael cane get killed
at the end he is so amzing in his movies

I had seen this movie years ago. When I found I found out I could get it on DVD I jumped on it. One of my favorites. Probably have watched it more than 25 times.

A magnificent film that is a rare find in any format. This was adapted to the DVD format and features an all star cast - Richard Burton, Roger Moore, Richard Harris and others. Exceptional quality with commentary,interviews and added features.

This is a really great movie of it's time. It reflected a lot of the attitudes of that period. The use of mercenary toops in both Africa and South America was a short but very intense period.
While any who have ever practiced the proffesion of arms will certainly be able to pick apart much of this movie it was not meant to be a training film but an attempt bring forward the use of mercenaries in sad sad Africa.

The service was fast and DVD was received in very good condition. I highly recommend ths ebayer. will defenetely do business again with.

the movie is very good. the production was great, the actors are international know. it makes a great to a film colection

This is NOT as good as Dogs of War, but way better than Tears of the Sun. It's a Soldiers of Fortune fantasy a la Mad Mike Hoare, a classic of it's genre with a great cast really underutilized in a potboiler like this one. I like it a lot, but it is what it is.

I saw this movie when I was young. The movie remained in my memory, but the old movie gradually faded away in the market. I can now possess it bnd watch it again.
