 Lets all be hero's Feb 23, 2010
This is kind of fun to watch even though Richard Burton is too old for the part physically he has the right look for a worn out mercenary. The story is about the evil rich guys hiring some mercenary types to go into some small African country and rescue the "good" jailed leader of the country. Of course the rich guys have a less than obvious plan for said leader. Besides Burton you have Roger Moore and Richard Harris on the good? guys side (can mercenaries be good guys) and the rest of the cast is quite good. It all plays out at a fast pace and includes lots of twists and turns.
I know it isn't a great film but I will probably watch it again sometime when I don't want to have to think much during the movie.

 good entertainment Dec 27, 2009
Having seen this film before ( several times )I purchased it for my collection. It provides good action scenes and an entertaining story set against WWII. Very good cast.
The Wild Geese Aug 13, 2009
The Wild Geese is an exciting movie where the end is not revealed until the last scene. The cast was outstanding from Richard Burton to Roger Moore. Fifty crack mercenaries, a bit passed there prime but willing to go in harms way one more time for the gold and the challenge. Stewart Granger in a cameo role plays a surprising villain. Sinister greed raises its ugly head! But in the end good triumphs over evil at the cost of some good men! It is worth a see and in many ways reflects a modern film entitled "Shooter." Two great action adventure films that will have you talking after all is said and done! A Night in the Tropics
A vintage corker Jun 18, 2009
The first thing I did when I got ahold of this 'special edition' DVD was watch the Movietone News footage of the original London premiere. Has-been British movie stars in 1970s fashions meeting the Duchess of Kent in a benefit for the "Stars Organisation for Spastics" or "SOS". Hilarious! But then I watched the film again ... and talk about improving with age! When I first saw this movie in the cinemas as a high school student back in 1978, it just seemed stodgy and unbelievable. Richard Burton looked stiff and out-of-it; Richard Harris was in this syrupy relationship with his tousled-haired son; and all that racial harmony stuff just seemed ridiculous. But thirty years later, Burton suddenly seems spot-on as an alcholic, nearly has-been mercenary; Harris' performance seems like the emotional heart of the picture; and the talk of harmony (between white and black Africans but also between blacks themselves) suddenly seems prescient in light of subsequent history. I guess that Wild Geese is an old movie for old men. As the accompanying documentary features make clear, it was a producer's film, not a director's film. There's no auteurism in evidence, no visual style. Just a solid story played out by a cast of old pros. Even the somewhat awkward action sequences now ring true, like just the sort of small-scale chaos a handful of grizzled mercenaries might be able to drum up in the bush. I didn't buy it then, but I do now.
