Mixing action, humor, sentiment, and even a few righteous moral convictions, The Wild Geese is good, rousing fun. Released theatrically in 1978 (oddly, this 2005 DVD release is referred to as the "30th Anniversary Edition"), director Andrew V. McLaglen's film depicts the adventures of a group of British mercenaries hired by a shady multinational corporation to free the benevolent leader of an African nation held captive by a ruthless dictator. Led by the caustic, no-nonsense Col. Allen Faulkner (Richard Burton), these soldiers of fortune are all stout fellows out to earn a big payday and restore a good man to his rightful place of power (the underlying message of universal racial brotherhood is effective, if somewhat simplistic), and they do their job swiftly and efficiently... at least until they're double-crossed by their venal, perfidious employers, at which point the film becomes a tale of survival and revenge. The cast, which also includes Richard Harris, Roger Moore, and a host of other fine veteran actors, is first-rate, the story-telling efficient, the dialogue entertaining (with occasional bursts of profanity), and the action reasonably exciting and not overly graphic. And even if the pace is somewhat leisurely by new millennium standards (we're nearly an hour into it before the actual mission starts), The Wild Geese is a very enjoyable ride. Bonus features include a profile of producer Euan Lloyd and commentary by Lloyd, Moore, and journalist Jonathan Sothcott. --Sam Graham

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 ... Read More

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 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 ... Read More

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 ... Read More
