Didn't Kojak ever have a desk job? Lots of awesome "kills" in this one. Nice variety too... something for every taste, thanks to amazing stunt work. Those falls from rooftops and explosion reaction stunts were nice. I don't know how much stuntmen were paid, but it couldn't have been enough. If it was as high as the body count though, I guess they did ok.
A very interesting war film, with a touch of "tongue in cheek" humour too. The stunt men certainly earned their money on this movie, of that there are no doubts. Does anyone out there know if this was based on a true story, or if it was purely a work of complete fiction? Many Thanks. 👍👍👍👍👍👍😊😊😊😊
I was there during the filming April 1978 and I saw so many good actors in the beautiful Greek isle of Rhodos.I ,m sorry the director Kosmatos died as many of the actors.
Bond, Shaft & Kojak together. Niven & Gould hamming it up. A sexy dance from Stephanie Powers & Claudia Cardinale looking sultry with a machine gun. What's not to like ?
I totally agree. This was made for fun and is not meant to be taken at all seriously (I wish some people could see it for that). Many thanks for your comment :-)
Interesting notes, the director on this movie was George p. Cosmatos who later directed Rambo: first blood part 2 with Sylvester Stallone in 1985. Roger Moore appeared in this the same year with his James bond movie moonraker
How I wish I could be one of these soldiers at 1:36! We guys are so imposing and neat! We polished our helmets and tall leather boots as usual, clenched our rifles and ready to carry out any command. We seem invincible and must feel very proud at the moment! :-)
If ever there was a case of heading for a fall it's this firing squad! They think they have the upper hand but an almighty shock lies just around the corner for all of them!
@@foreverblueclassics Reluctantly, but I'm afraid so. We thought that our soldiers had firmly controlled the center of the town. We are overconfident that no one will dare to resist us. When we stood there as firing squad, we're just proud and excited about the imposing of our team. We raised the rifle and aimed at the prisoner, then we only need to gently pull the trigger when we hear the order. But as we concentrate waiting for the order, the damn accident appeared! We didn't have time to react, and almost immediately felt a sharp pain in our chest - the bloody bullet had already gotten into it! No, we don't want to die! Do we have any way to avoid death?
@@foreverblueclassics No, that's not what we want! It's totally unexpected! We don't know how this accident happened, but the bullet in our chest forced us to drop our rifles. We also want to hold on after the injury, like the enemy. We used to think that as an elite SS soldier of the Reich, we can certainly do this. But now we can't beat it at all, it's so hurts! We have to screaming, flailing arms and kick legs, trying to escape death in horror. The prisoner who was supposed to be executed by us was running away, but we can’t manage it anymore. Our strength quickly drained from the wound, and we fell to the ground and dying struggle in despair. The rifle we dropped was next to us, but we couldn’t catch it anymore. The only hope is that our comrades can defeat the enemy, and perhaps save us from death.
This movie has an AWESOME cast! Roger Moore, Telly Savalas, David Niven, Stefanie Powers, Richard Roundtree, Sonny Bono, and Elliot Gould. And that's just from this clip! ;-) Elliott Gould
True! And they made the German Army appear as idiots, throwing themselves into the line of fire as if they wanted to be mown down in droves, whereas in reality they had the best soldiers in the world at the time and it took the combined efforts of much of the rest of the world to wear them down. But I have to admit I do like the old 'shoot 'em up' WW2 war movies - even the silly ones. They're more comic book adventures than historical fact :-)
@@albertmccubbins2767 So why did Hitler declare war on the US? There was nothing in the pact with Japan that said they had to do that, hence Japan did not declare war with the USSR.
+frodoringbearer Many thanks :-) At the time I put this clip together I was on a "warning" from UA-cam and was restricted to videos no longer than 15 minutes, so I had to miss that scene out. As you can see, I just made it!
Wouldn't that be embarrassing afterwards? What could you tell your children after you came back from the pow camp? "Papa, how did you get captured? I was in a whorehouse about to shoot my load and a hooker pulled a gun on me and handcuffed me and locked me in the basement with another horny dude." It boggles the mind.
Parade steps from 1:35 to 1:48 are really precise and hot to watch. I guess it's best to look good on your last day. So many targets beggin for it in one small place. Firing squad guys get a taste of their own in the market place. The only thing left in the market after the shoot out is freshly butchered meat. I liked the way some of them wore suspenders on the outside of their coats (the sentry at 10:10). What better place to enter hell than through a monastery?
A stalag was a prisoner of war camp. Life would have been tough but usually bearable and reasonably humane (certainly for Western POWs, not for Soviets, Poles etc). A gulag was a forced labour camp and not usually for the military. The treatment for those held here would have been much worse.
Wheels65 is right. It is a true comedy, not a war film. I found it ridiculous. The director did not know and experience war, fighting. He thought that German soldiers are as stupid as he is. This film is good for nothing.
You've said it yourself, it's a comedy and is meant as such. I'm surprised some people seem to think it was intended as anything other than that. Anyway, thanks for commenting. It's good to get a reaction :-)
I think it is a kind of film that tells viewers about history so the director should not build the images of the enemies in such a stupid way. In the director's eyes, point of view, the German soldiers are not real fighters, not well-trained. The victors think they have the right to do anything, to say anything over the losers who cannot say, do anything. It is unfair, really unfair. I like to thank you for your ideas about my previous comment. We discuss to find the most possible solutions.
It's really not a movie that's intended as history. It's a caper movie, with cardboard cartoon-like characters dressed in German uniforms to act as the fall-guys. Let's face it, they are the ultimate bad guys in most movies and it's all just made for fun. Like I say, I'm surprised people take it so seriously and can't see it for what it is - a silly movie, but intentionally so.
