‘The Dogs Of War’

If you watched ‘The Wild Geese’ when I shared it the other day then you’ve got to watch ‘The Dogs Of War’.

    Reading the book shows the very in depth process of international military grade arms procurement. Great movie, excellent book, and a scenario that has played itself out in reality quite a few times.

    The story goes that Frederick Forstyth was involved in financing a attempted coup with guys he knew from the Biafra war, which didn’t come off. So he wrote the book 101 on how to carry out a coup in the 60’s

    “The Wild Geese”, “The Dogs of War”, “Where Eagles Dare”, “The Eagle Has Landed”, and “A Bridge Too Far” – best war movies of all time!

    Upon my last viewing I remember being struck by how simple their loadouts were compared today’s standards where everything is tactical-ized to the nth degree.

    This movie led to my teams Callsign. HAVOC… We watched this and “The Man Who Would be King” almost on repeat – and yes, we also knew it was from Good ‘Ol Will first, but this movie was more up our alley.

    SOS

    This was filmed in Belize City, Belize CA. My Regiment was posted there in 1981 when it gained its independence. Took some R&R when I was there and visited Mexico city and New Orleans. Great times and a great movie.

    Another excellent movie that nobody has mentioned is Dark of the Sun (aka The Mercenaries) from 1968 with Rod Taylor and Jim Brown.

    This came out about three years after Deer Hunter, which also starred Chris Walken.

    To me, the best line was when Walken tells his guide “In my jungle, you’d just be another a**hole.”

    It was also the first movie that I can remember that featured an ex-SAS character (Derek)–Princes Gate was recent but in America, the unit was still rather unknown. A year later came Who Dares Wins (The Final Option in the USA) and they were firmly out of the shadows even in America.
