I remember watching this on VHS some time in the 80s. Having said that, I remember NOTHING about the film. Thanks for reminding me it. |
About a British Mercenary unit in Africa, full of big time British film stars (Richard Burton, Richard Harris, Roger Moore, Stewart Granger) plus the sons of Alan Ladd and Sir Stanley Baker. Hardy Kruger and assorted character actors, features the SLR Rifle.
Major 'Mad Mike' Hoare an actual mercenary commander from the Congo (who saved a lot of lives back then) was an advisor on the film. Good one for anyone who remembers the Elengeni hotel, Durban, or Magoo's Bar, back in the day. Bayete.
I ended up with a one bedroom flat on North Beach that you could, just about, see the sea from in the Kitchen. Lmao.
