Redgrave played Barnes Wallace well. In real life Wallace turned up at meeting's wearing his nightgown and pyjamas. He was a total eccentric. Lot's more guy's died in the real raid, but it was a success.

Great Movie poster!
The trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPJIPToK_gs



Then Wild Geese II starred Glenn Scott. Pretty good too!

Hardy Kruger with a cyanide crossbow. Mad Irish missionary's in the bush.
Burton comes back for ice-cold revenge !

Good movie !

Dog's of War was a class film. Very interesting real-life story behind that one.
