‘The Wild Geese’

‘The Wild Geese’ was one of my favorite movies growing up. Lots of action. If you haven’t seen it, here’s your chance.

Thanks Tim O!

    My favorite part is when the Sargeant Major threatened to sew the medics asshole shut.

    This is a classic movie. Great cast. It’s fun watching all the weapons, including a vintage vickers machine gun.

    Richard Burton, Richard Harris, Stewart Granger and even Roger Moore what’s not to like. Too bad its not on cable anymore.

    I think this was Stewart Granger’s last movie. Richard Burton specifically wanted Granger in the film.

    I love the gay medic

    “Oh my…look at you big beautiful black bastards. Such a pity we can’t be friends”

    This is just after his UZI runs dry and before he knife kills two or three.

    Dammit they don’t make em like this no more!

    Ian Yule, who played Tosh in the Wild Geese, was an interesting character in real life. Former Para and SAS who had worked as a mercenary under “Mad Mike” Hoare in the Belgian Congo.

    “Keffer” – A derogatory term used in Devon England for almost any one who isnt a Janner.

      The character in the movie used it as a South Africa would have, a racial slur. But I’m sure you got that. Still a great movie, one of my favorites.

        He changed his view on Africans when they joked about it at the end – the underlying story of the movie.

    Another one of my favorite films from my youth. That, “Dogs of War” and “Apocalypse Now”.

    70’s and 80’s movie intro/credits are so terrible.

    “GET ON YOUR FEET, YOU FUCKIN’ ABORTION!!!”

    Classic.

    One of my top 5 favorite movies ever,right after-

    1)The Green Berets
    2)Born Losers
    3)Billy Jack
    4)Repo Man

    They just don’t make movies like this anymore,because they don’t have ACTORS of this caliber anymore (for the most part),and it’s damn sad.

    I read somewhere that the producers originally wanted Burt Lancaster and Robert Mitchum for the role of Rafer Janders and I think Joseph Cotton for Sir Edward.

    Great movie – saw it in college with my ROTC buddies………….

    The Wild Geese
    The Dogs of War
    Attack Force Z

    This list could go on and on.

    ITS A DAMN SHAME THAT “CASCA: THE ETERNAL MERCENARY” COULDN’T BE MADE INTO A MOVIE. HELL, IT WOULD MAKE A GREAT NETFLIX SERIES!!!!!

      Finally another human that’s read Casca The Eternal Mercenary series. You my friend are well read. You know they’d screw it up unless HBO did it.

      Thanks for the post I’d never seen this movie, (oh the shame).

        Go to SSD search, Casca has been featured on here.

          I found a copy of the 1st Casca book in my Dad’s truck when I was messing around with his CB radio. I think I read at least all the original Barry Sadler writtenn books before I graduated high school. Thanks to my Dad, Ive read a lot of good books. He wasn’t big on movies, although he took me to see Rambo II and III and Hamburger Hill before I joined the Army. LOL, in fact, I was being held in my Mother’s arms when they went to the drive in to see “The Green Berets” before my Dad went to Vietnam.

    A lot of livers and kidneys were harmed in the making of this movie…
