first published in 1969 , and set a decade earlier , fat city is leonard gardner’s only novel . he has written short stories good enough for the paris review – which means very good indeed – as well as scripts for nypd blue . the film adaptation of fat city was directed by john huston , well and faithfully , in 1972 . you have the feeling that the anodyne and cliche - packed sequence of rocky films was launched partly to get the sour taste of huston’s film out of hollywood’s mouth .

so what has that have to do with fat city ? sarris was not a big fan of john huston , relegating him—a few years before the appearance of fat city —to the " less than meets the eye " category in his classification of american directors ( well below the " pantheon " and below even " expressive esoterica " and the " far side of paradise " ) . in the 1940s , huston had made the maltese falcon and treasure of the sierra madre , two classics . then a prolonged slump had set in , and it is hard to argue with leonard maltin who wrote that fat city was huston ' s best picture in two decades . where did a film like fat city come from ? it ' s hard on this track record to credit its excellences to huston ' s directorial style .

the one consistent theme in all of john huston ' s work is perpetual loss - - how it affects , and defines , people . there may not be a more cogent example of this than in his " comeback " film , fat city , an observant and understated study of desperation and marginalization . it ' s a shame that stacy keach ' s film career never materialized ( though he ' s had a good run in tv ) because he is sensational here . if nothing else , this underrated film is worth seeking out for conrad hall ' s cinematography alone . he has done nothing but brilliant work in his career , but fat city may be his finest hour .

at its heart , fat city is not about boxing . it is a universal story of grim realities and toxic delusions . for the people of this novel , boxing is a chance , a glimmer of hope .

knights of the city was produced in 1984 under the title cry of the city , but wasn’t released until 1986 . presumably , this had more than a little to do with the arrest and trial of the executive producer of the film , michael franzese , a man tom brokaw called “the prince of the mafia” . during the two year gap between production and release , the fat boys would become infinitely fatter and more famous and appear in another movie in a much larger role . but knights of the city is still worth watching for their small appearance .

important note : strictly speaking , film noir is not a genre , but rather the mood , style , point - of - view , or tone of a film . it is also helpful to realize that ' film noir ' usually refers to a distinct historical period of film history - the decade of film - making after world war ii , similar to the german expressionism or the french new wave periods . however , it was labeled as such only after the classic period - early noir film - makers didn ' t even use the film designation ( as they would the labels " western " or " musical " ) , and were not conscious that their films would be labeled noirs .

sin city is an irregular comic book series about the venal basin city ( known as " sin city " to the people who live there ) and the seedy inhabitants who lurk in its alleys and doorways . it is probably writer / artist frank miller ' s best known work ( other than the dark knight returns ) .

title drop : sin city is mentioned in every story for obvious reasons but even then , the secondary titles are always dropped as well ( i . e . " the big fat kill " " that yellow bastard " , " blue eyes " , etc . )

it’s not unfair , i think , to describe boxers as a demographic little given to literary entanglement . in general , with exceptions , they prefer movies . although john huston considered fat city some of his finest work , most boxers would probably rather watch rocky for the fifth or 50 th time . they yearn for the tale of redemption and ultimate triumph with plenty of razzle - dazzle . the nitty - gritty is too familiar . but fat city dazzles too : the glint of steel in its perception , the molten glass of its execution .

however , this paterfamilias sin city story , which kicked off the 2005 film in earnest too , also will have to mark its ending . sure the film tells “the hard goodbye” in one uninterrupted chunk , but marv spent months by his own admission on death row after the death of cardinal roark ( rutger hauer ) . and that is enough time for…

with leonard gardner adapting his own book and john huston sitting in the director ' s chair , fat city adheres closer to real life than reel life , painting a portrait of a downtrodden existence not only among the have - nots but among the never - will - haves .

a sequel , sin city : a dame to kill for , was released in august 2014 , and at least one more sin city film is planned . originally , the first sequel was planned to include the titular story , along with a brand - new sequel to that yellow bastard and the three blue eyes short stories . the final film drops the blue eyes stories for a second original story and another booze , broads and bullets yarn , " just another saturday night " .

manute and his men are machine gunned to death with an endless hail of bullets . the story ' s called the big fat kill for a reason .

though fat city was written long before cellphones or the internet , its human apparatus is state of the art . with this new edition , new generations of readers and writers will discover it , learn from it , and find both wincing pain and deep pleasure . gardner’s achievement lives on precisely because fat city is not depressing . the tale is dark , but it is charged with energy . it is seductive , engaging , and lit , despite the odds , by a vitality that is in itself a form of hope . we come away from it burnt clean .

senator roark is still alive but he lost his son and has to live with the fact that the roark family lineage is now cut . considering this family has lorded over sin city for more than a century , that ' s a letdown for him and his one surviving brother . and the film a dame to kill for has nancy killing roark , effectively ending their reign over the city .

a sleeper hit in 2002 , the original " my big fat greek wedding " still holds the title of highest grossing romantic comedy of all time . that film earned writer and star nia vardalos an oscar nomination for best original screenplay , and it even spawned a short - lived television series . considering the success the film achieved , it ' s shocking that it took this long for a sequel to come along .

“fat city” is old slang for prosperity and advantage—the good life . if you’re in fat city , you’re in luck . but the phrase is wry irony as the title of a novel that has stunned and mesmerized successive generations of readers since its publication in 1969 . this month new york review books brings out a handsome new paperback edition of leonard gardner’s sole novel , a slim , taut book that has earned its status as a classic by dint of its immaculate , evocative prose , a compassionate but dour view of the human condition , and the absolute credibility of its depiction of the sport of the busted beaks .

wallace is extremely polite and soft spoken . he ' s also probably the deadliest person in sin city . . . which says something .

in case you forgot who wrote it : the sequel was released as frank miller ' s sin city : a dame to kill for .

more an epilogue unto itself than a second half , this conclusion to “the hard goodbye” showcases the end of frank miller’s sin city vision .

prior to its incorporation in 1850 , stockton had several names , including ' tuleburg ' , ' gas city ' and ' mudville ' .

infamous for its absurdly macho writing , sin city reads like an affectionate parody of film noir turned up to eleven : every hero is a mentally or physically scarred bruiser and every woman is a beautiful dame with a heaving bosom . black and gray morality is predominant .

rodriguez quit the director ' s guild to let frank miller take co - director status . even his friend quentin tarantino was given a co - director credit , since he came over on a day of shooting to film a scene . rodriguez shot the film panel - for - panel from the comics , using black and white footage and green screen backgrounds to get the perfect sin city feel .

there is also davis , the torture expert in the big fat kill , who can inflict pain just by touching people . this character was changed to manute in the movie .

the hard goodbye is the name later given to the first sin city story . raymond chandler wrote a philip marlowe novel called the long goodbye .

at the time of my film forum viewing , fat city was out of print on video in the states , or at least so hard to find and so absent from prestige that it might as well have been . it was one of those modern cult classics that you actually had to make an effort to go out and catch when the chance came : a marlin of a movie , rare in the age of torrents . also at the time of said viewing : stockton remained , as it was on fat city ’s release , one of the poorest , least employed cities in america due to all the under the radar migrant work . a flight of fancy upon seeing the film even had me wanting to go out to stockton and interview its down - and - out for one of those high - paying think pieces about squalor . but hadn’t those folks been through enough without me pointing a microphone down their gullets ?

two men , barely 10 years apart in age , one with a lifetime of emptiness ahead of him , one with an empty lifetime already behind . this is what john huston has to work with in " fat city " and he treats it with a level , unsentimental honesty and makes it into one of his best films .

so this is a theme we find in huston ' s work , but rarely does he fit it to characters and a time and place so well as in " fat city . " maybe that ' s because huston knows the territory : he was a professional boxer himself for a while , and not a very good one .

“fat city” is also an old nickname for that historic fight town , stockton , california , gardner’s home ground and that of the novel’s central figure . a few years before , billy tully really was in fat city . he was living clean and winning fights . he had a house , a nice car , and a pretty wife . then a bad loss in the ring destroyed his confidence . he quit boxing . he drank too much , couldn’t hold a job , lost the car and the house . his wife left . now he earns just enough as a day laborer in the onion fields of the valley to cover a sleazy room and another night of drinking .

after krush groove was finished , director michael schultz apparently also recognized that the fat boys were the best part of the movie . so , he decided to capitalize on their talent and build an entire film around them . was this the best decision he could have made ? in terms of his career , probably not . but i’m personally very glad that he did . i grew up watching the three stooges . i loved the physical humor , the sound effects , and the adversarial / brotherly relationship . judging by the evidence , so did the fat boys . taking all of those elements and then adding in some of the humorous ( yet impressive ) musical sequences they had perfected in their previous films , the fat boys made their own three stooges film ( even down to comparing it to the stooges in the original trailer ) .

in the movie , the salesman from " the customer is always right " , which opens the film , reappears in the final scene .

titles of many film noirs often reflected the nature or tone of the style and content itself : dark passage ( 1947 ) , the naked city ( 1948 ) , fear in the night ( 1947 ) , out of the past ( 1947 ) , kiss me deadly ( 1955 ) , etc .

casual high drop : " the big fat kill " . dwight mccarthy jumps from the window of his girlfriend ' s apartment and falls several floors to the ground , landing on his feet .

fat city never feels air - conditioned . it is a slim , tough novel ( 183 pages ) published in 1969 by leonard gardner . i am lucky enough to know leonard and to feel the quality of fat city in terms of his experience and his wry , battered , going - deaf kindness and humor . so i am biased , or in his favor , but i can’t help that and plenty of other people swear by the accuracy and bleak eloquence of the novel ( dennis johnson and michael ondaatje for two ) , and treasure the movie . so if you’re serious about this tribute to susan tyrrell , you should get hold of the book and read it before you see the movie .

the film adaptation of marv and manute ' s fight actually shows marv ripping out his eye , while the book just showed marv beating him .

now , we travel back in time to 1985 . knights of the city had already been filmed , but was on hold as the mafia trial of its executive producer proceeded . during that intervening time , the fat boys got together with run - d . m . c . , kurtis blow , new edition , sheila e . , ll cool j , the beastie boys , and a handful of others to make a film based on the early years of def jam records and the life of russell simmons . if you’re thinking to yourself , “that sounds like the greatest thing ever put on film , ” then you are absolutely correct .

black and gray morality no one in sin city is good . some folks are better than others , but none are good . even the best of them like dwight , hartigan , and wallace are good is not nice . granted though , this isn ' t as clear in the first film adaptation .

yep , despite the eight - year gap and placing this portion of the story as the climax of the 2005 sin city film , it would appear that this narrative is the next immediate event to occur in the sin city mythos . this can be deduced for several reasons , but most notably because of the appearance of old bob , who shows up early in this second half of “that yellow bastard” and will appear again in the next adventure in such a way that ensures this came first .

the result gets marv to help her kill roark , but she seems to hate being a stripper by the end of the story and hates this city . hardly the bubbly personality who is still working the stage in “the hard goodbye , ” where she is noticeably younger than in her appearances in sin city : a dame to kill for .

this prologue to the original sin city only earns its nominal “part 1” status because it appears as the first of two bookends featuring hartnett’s salesman cashing the contract checks on fleeing dames . it very well could happen after he visits becky in that elevator during the sin city epilogue and might even be after marv takes a seat on old sparky . since it is just the salesman soothing and then silencing a terrified woman during a dark night in basin city , there is no indication where it takes place in the timeline .

even the settings are familiar , such as dancing zorba ' s , the bustling greek restaurant owned and run by toula ' s parents . although the story is set in chicago , the film was shot in toronto , continuing that city ' s enviable record of being able to stand in for just about every north american metropolis .

now it’s time to say hello to the two most prolific protagonists in the sin city oeuvre : dwight and marv . while marv , who served as the centerpiece for the first ever sin city graphic novel , as well as the first complete story of the 2005 film , appears in nearly every frank miller neo - noir ( including “that yellow bastard” ) , dwight mccarthy has been the lead character in more of them . and it begins here , chronologically speaking , with “a dame to kill for . ”

i would have laughed at anyone who would compare keach to brando . . . before watching this film that is . while keach might not be regarded as one…

jerk jock : the story just another saturday night has a group of jerk jocks from a fraternity . this being sin city , they don ' t stop at just being jerks , though . they like to light homeless people on fire . too bad for them they ran into marv ' s who a little higher up on the sin city food chain .

classic film noir developed during and after world war ii , taking advantage of the post - war ambience of anxiety , pessimism , and suspicion . it was a style of black and white american films that first evolved in the 1940s , became prominent in the post - war era , and lasted in a classic " golden age " period until about 1960 ( marked by the ' last ' film of the classic film noir era , orson welles ' touch of evil ( 1958 ) ) .

during the past two decades , mr . thompson has held executive sales positions with such leading distributors as miramax films , gramercy pictures , lot 47 films and four companies headed by bob berney – newmarket films , picturehouse , apparition and film district . he previously held senior film buying positions with several new york - based exhibition companies , including cinema 5 , walter reade , cineplex odeon and city cinemas . mr . thompson most recently was a distribution consultant with indomina releasing , overseeing the national release of leos carax’s acclaimed

susan tyrrell died earlier this month , and the reports say she was sixty - seven . maybe that was so , but if so in fat city , made in 1972 , and her great work , she would have been twenty - seven . i find that hard to credit , but every time i see fat city i am asking myself how a woman like this ever got into a movie that was produced by ray stark ! the exclamation mark comes from the fact that stark also produced funny girl and the way we were . he liked things nice and glamorous , and there’s nothing wrong with that , especially if you’re a bum or a barfly in the californian central valley where it’s hard enough to scrape together ticket money to get into a movie and enjoy the cool air . if the air conditioning is working .

long before zack snyder got the idea to do a near panel - for - panel recreation of a frank miller comic book , robert rodriguez beat him there by two years with sin city , and made a more mesmerizing and impressive film to boot . yet , in the following 10 years , we also got a sequel . . . that also was a bit of a prequel . in fact , it is hard to place whether sin city : a dame to kill for either began or ended the 2005 cult classic ' s story .

many sources have claimed that director boris ingster ' s and rko ' s stranger on the third floor ( 1940 ) was the first full - featured film noir . the expressionistic film starred peter lorre as the sinister ' stranger ' ( cast due to his creepy performance in m ( 1931 ) ) , in a story about the nightmarish after - effects of circumstantial testimony during a murder trial . others claim orson welles ' masterpiece citizen kane ( 1941 ) was also an early and influential pre - film noir .

definitely a great film and the most underrated in john huston ' s filmography . so glad that someone brought it to my attention and insisted that i see it asap .

" my big fat greek wedding 2 " is exactly the movie you expect ( and probably hope ) it to be : the type of pleasant , inoffensive film you can take your extended family to , and most everyone will leave happy . in fact , it ' s already your grandmother ' s favorite movie of the year ( it ' s a bit perplexing it didn ' t open closer to mother ' s day ) . it ' s a lively , crowd - pleasing comedy that offers perfect counterprogramming for those with little interest in watching dc ' s clashing superhero titans demolish an entire city .

not to be confused with simcity , which is potentially a whole lot nicer . or gta vice city , which is definitely not all that nicer . or las vegas , for that matter .

in the film of a dame to kill for , the way hartigan ' s ghost talks to nancy is very reminiscent of bruce willis ' s role in the sixth sense .

hartigan ' s concluding speeches in the film ' s second and penultimate chapters are especially notable , as both close with hartigan getting shot and losing everything so nancy can live .

the primary moods of classic film noir were melancholy , alienation , bleakness , disillusionment , disenchantment , pessimism , ambiguity , moral corruption , evil , guilt , desperation and paranoia .

john huston made some outstanding films , as well as some that were pretty awful . among the best were the maltese falcon , the treasure of the sierra madre , the asphalt jungle , the african queen and the red badge of courage . but best of all , though by no means the most popular because of its downbeat tone , was fat city , the tale of a broken - down boxer , played by stacy keach .

i would argue that the biggest single contributing factor to the film’s success is the fat boys . while the love story and the success of the label are billed as the main plot of the movie ( look up the movie on any website and the description will only tell you about that ) , the fat boys plotline gets just as much focus , if not more . we meet them in a high school where they perform in a stairwell in between classes . we see them prepare for and compete in a talent show . and , most importantly , we watch as they take advantage of an “all you can eat for $ 3 . 99” sign .

captain charles m . weber chose to honor commodore robert f . stockton by naming the city in honor of stockton , who was instrumental in the capture of california during the mexican - american war .

the film is a sequel to the 1978 film the wild geese , which was also produced by euan lloyd and adapted from a novel by carney .

actor richard burton , who starred in the first film as colonel allen faulkner , was planning to reprise his role for the sequel , but he died days before filming began .

the sequel has faulkner 's brother ( played by edward fox ) as one of the mercenaries .

no characters from the original are featured in the sequel .

second and final " wild geese " movie in the two - film franchise originating with the wild geese ( 1978 ) .

wild geese : plath mss . ii , box 8 , f . 5 .

the trick is to have seen wild geese ii before the original wild geese . as others have said , it ' s not really a sequel anyway .

the original film was called the wild geese ( 1978 ) , but for this sequel , the word " the " was dropped from the title , making the film called wild geese ii ( 1985 ) , rather than " the wild geese ii " .

i think what killed this movie at the box office was calling it wild geese ii .

the film does not feature any characters from the wild geese ( 1978 ) .

euan lloyd ' s production of wild geese ii loses continuity of first wild geese ( 1978 ) because of the sudden death of richard burton a few weeks into the location filming .

wild geese 2 has no common link with the wild geese , other than that they are both mercenary films . the acting ranges from darn good , to pretty poor .

disappointing compared to " wild geese 1 " . decent enough though . worthy a watch . . . and i ' ll probably get around to watching it again .

i found this movie had almost nothing in common with wild geese ( the original movie ) except they were mercenary films ( like " dogs of war " too ) .

in name only : none of the actors who played in the original film appear in wild geese ii . the sequel is also very different in tone , being more of an espionage thriller than an action - adventure .

the name of his group , the wild geese , is not derived from a movie during the 1970s about a group of mercenaries in africa , but is instead a reference to the wild geese , the irish who left ireland following the treaty of limerick . pip being french , it could an homage , since it was the wild geese serving france who finally broke the back of the english army at the battle of fontenoy in 1745 , ( according to some accounts taking the colors of england ' s coldstream regiment of foot guards ) . ( which would place their entry after the dissolution of the ' official ' french irish units . however , many organizations of predominately irish mercenaries are known to refer to themselves as the ' wild geese ' , particularly those dating back to the 18th and 19th century . )

richard burton was set to play his character from the wild geese ( 1978 ) , allen faulkner , but died a few days before filming began . edward fox stepped in to play alex faulkner , the brother of the character played by burton .

wild geese ii is a subtly different film from its predecessor . it is more of an espionage thriller than an action film . it really needs to be viewed on its own merit , rather than in a direct comparison to its predecessor . it touches on many aspects of mid - eighties world politics , some of which are still with us , while others have long vanished . certainly the power of global media corporations is still a relevant topic today . despite a preposterous premise and a rather stark production design , wild geese ii is a curious but entertaining film .

this is the second workshop in the poultry production for farm & family workshop series . the workshop series is designed for individuals wanting to explore chicken production for family use or diversification of farm products . training will be held at wild geese farm in rushford .

i’m afraid the substitution of fox for burton without rewriting the dialogue rather spoiled the film . wild geese had been fairly successful and those who saw it expected the sequel to be more of the same . sadly it didn’t come up to expectations . but i had a good time .

the fortune of british film producer euan lloyds took a turn for the worst after the success of the wild geese in 1978 . both his subsequent movies the sea wolves and who dares wins were critical failures and subject to diminished box office returns . therefore wild geese ii was conceived in hope that a new addition to the franchise would prove financially successful and restore mr . lloyd’s reputation as a top british producer . former bond director , peter hunt , was brought on board to oversee the proceedings , along with original star richard burton . the screenplay was again by reginald rose and soundtrack composed by roy budd .

haddad ( scott glenn ) and faulkner ( edward fox ) use uzi smgs in several scenes . uzi are also seen in hands of stroebling ' s henchmen . reed - henry ( kenneth haigh ) uses a suppressed uzi . uzi are also seen in footage from original the wild geese .

a new band of professional mercenaries smuggle nazi war criminal rudolf hess ( laurence olivier ) out of spandau prison in the guise of a drunken football hooligan so he can appear on american television . sequel to ` the wild geese ' ( 1978 ) . scott glenn , barbara carrera and edward fox star .

: irish mercenary soldiers fighting in european armies throughout the late medieval and early modern periods were referred to as " wild geese " , the most well - known being an force of irish jacobites who became part of the french army following their defeat in the glorious revolution and the resultant treaty of limerick in 1691 . this makes the name doubly appropriate , for just as the original wild geese were landless and dispossessed , so is faulkner - the nature of his work means that he cannot return to britain and at the start of the film matheson has to pull some strings to smuggle him through passport control .

upon release wild geese ii was a box office failure . the story about a plot to rescue rudolph hess from spandau prison was intriguing but poorly executed . the casting of laurence olivier as hess was a bold idea but doesn’t quite work . the action scenes are shot in a very unflattering style and seem very hastily assembled . the contrast between principle photography and second unit direction is quite noticeable , clearly indicating that the film had a troubled production . yet despite such flaws it is not devoid of any redeeming qualities . wild geese ii serves as an interesting " snapshot " of the cold war and a partitioned berlin . it also features british actor , derek thompson , coming to yet another unpleasant cinematic end .

after the success of the wild geese ( 1978 ) , author daniel carney was asked by producer euan lloyd to write a sequel . carney originally refused , as he could not think up a storyline , until lloyd gave him one , this film ' s concept , the kidnapping of rudolph hess from spandau prison .

the original wild geese was a cinematic classic . this was rather unfortunately named wild geese ii - that was its first mistake . the original had an all star cast , part ii had only a few . however , if you view this film without trying to make comparisons to the original , you end up with a thoroughly good romp through the very pretty city of berlin . scott glen is excellent as the mercenary who has a price on his head , edward fox is also good though he has done better . the main plot is to get hess out of spandau prison . everything appears to be going well . in a well executed plan all seems to go well until the end . . . . . watch and see ! ! !

the resulting battle went poorly for the wild geese - most of them were killed by zorin and her minions . pip found himself barricaded in the conference room with a few of his men , spending most of his time fortifying their position and bolstering their faltering morale in the face of overwhelming odds and low ammunition . when zorin ' s troops attacked the wild geese ' s barricade with a panzerfaust , pip was wounded by wooden shrapnel that hit him in the stomach . luckily , seras arrived to destroy zorin ' s troops before they could finish off the few surviving mercenaries , prompting pip to confidently declare that the tide had turned back in their favor .

it was some years later that i realised that codename : wild geese starring lewis collins , lee van cleef , klaus kinski and ernest borgnine was an imposter in the midst , a macaroni combat film ( ie a war movie made in italy to the same standards of their spaghetti westerns ) that had no official link to the original .

pip ( along with the rest of the wild geese ) primarily uses an ak - 74 assault rifle as well as a colt single action army revolver . although having no supernatural powers , he does have experience from warfare and skills with firearms and military tactics . it also seems that his cigarette lighter doubles as a detonator , for c4 charges .

this was also the name occasionally used for his men by mercenary colonel " mad " mike hoare , who battled communist rebels in the congo and attempted to overthrow the government of the seychelles , among other exploits . he was a fervent admirer of the original " wild geese " who served in france . he also worked as a technical advisor on the film .

the wild geese were hired by walter dornez at the end of volume 2 as replacements for the soldiers killed during the valentine brothers ' invasion of hellsing manor . when integra introduced seras victoria as an example of a vampire , pip laughed her off , mockingly claiming that if she was a vampire then he was " frankenstein ' s monster " as he advanced on the former policewoman .

after seras shot down zorin ' s zeppelin , pip directed his wild geese to lay down suppressing fire on the advancing vampires , forcing them into a field of claymore mines the geese had set up earlier . he explained that vampires , unlike humans , would not think of retreat - thus , their best hope was to whittle the millennium forces down from afar . unfortunately , zorin used an illusion to distract the defenders , including pip himself . by the time seras managed to dispel the illusion , zorin ' s forces had bypassed the minefield ( by throwing a line of knives into the ground and hopping across their hilts ) and breached hellsing manor .

he quickly regretted his skepticism when seras nearly broke his neck by flicking him in the face with her index finger , also demonstrating supernatural speed while delivering several follow - up flicks . the demonstration was further enhanced when seras ' master , alucard , entered the room by phasing through the wall . now fully convinced of the existence of vampires , pip and the rest of the wild geese began training with seras at the shooting range outside hellsing manor .

: the villainous matheson is killed in the denouement , but it ' s less a rousing final cheer than a last bitter gasp . limbani is dead , and so are most of the wild geese , including many of faulkner ' s friends - their mission achieving nothing . the final scene of the film involves faulkner meeting emile ; faulkner promised his father janders that he would adopt the boy if the latter was killed ( as he is , by faulkner himself - see

realizing that his mercenaries were vastly outclassed by the vampires in direct combat , pip changed his strategy ; the wild geese would try to stall the vampires while seras ambushed and killed them . before they split up , pip almost tricked seras into letting him kiss her , but honestly bid her luck as she set off . when seras was gone , pip gave his men a heartening speech about dying with honor for the sake of " a fine woman " before dispatching them to their posts .

wild geese ii is a 1985 british action thriller directed by peter r . hunt ( death hunt ) . a group of mercenaries , led by former lebanese soldier john haddad ( scott glenn ) , is hired to rescue rudolf hess ( laurence olivier ) , the only surviving leader of nazi germany from spandau prison in west berlin . several rival forces , including an east german - supported terrorist karl stroebling ( robert freitag ) and high - ranking british officer reed - henry ( kenneth haigh ) , are interested in releasing hess , so haddad ' s task is especially complicated .

this infantile follow - up ( it ' s a rip - off , not a sequel ) to the wild geese hinges on a gang of mercenaries trying to get the ageing rudolf hess ( laurence olivier in a positively embarrassing performance ) out of spandau prison . it revamps the original - itself borrowing heavily from aldrich ' s dirty dozen - in having a brutal and tedious training sequence before the actual mission . the film is cobbled together by director peter hunt with leaden predictability and absolutely no narrative flow whatsoever .

before pip could get to safety , he was impaled through the stomach by zorin ' s thrown scythe , finally forcing him to drop seras as he slumped against a wall . lighting a cigarette as the wounded seras blindly reached for him , he playfully called her an " idiot " for needing saving while trying to save the wild geese . when seras managed to climb over his dying body , pip took the opportunity to kiss her , cheerfully laughing that he finally caught her off - guard . after asking seras to drink his blood and defeat millennium , pip finally expired with a smile on his face .

during millennium ' s invasion of london ( operation seelöwe 2 ) , pip , seras , and the wild geese were tasked with defending hellsing manor . when first lieutenant zorin blitz attacked hellsing manor with roughly one - third of the letztes bataillon , pip coordinated his allies ' defense of the manor . as seras victoria shot down incoming missiles with the harkonnen ii ' s aa cannons , pip admitted that he was no longer concerned about payment for his services . although not particularly fond of london or its people , he believed that they did not deserve the horrors of war millennium was bringing upon them . to that end , pip ordered seras to make the vampiric nazis pay for every life they took , and seras readily agreed .

the wild geese attracted controversy for being filmed in apartheid - era south africa , with sizeable demonstrations accompanying its london premiere accusing it of racism - this is despite the fact that the film was very popular amongst black south africans ( producer euan lloyd even distributed copies of the soweto times detailing packed - out cinemas to protestors in an attempt to calm them ) and the film bore an even - handed message of reconciliation acknowledging the crimes perpetrated by both whites and blacks in africa ( limbani says to coetzee at one point " we have to forgive you for the past , just as you have to forgive us for the present " ) .

shortly after the wild geese began working at hellsing manor , pip joined alucard and seras in traveling to rio de janeiro , brazil , in order to find leads on the mysterious millennium organization . alucard and seras are later attacked by bope units of the brazilian military police after being declared in public as international terrorists , a ruse perpetrated by brazilian officials in exchange for immortality promised by millennium . while alucard slaughtered the bope unit invading his hotel , pip snuck into the brazilian officials ' camp and killed them with a bomb . while alucard fought and killed tubalcain alhambra , the local millennium officer , pip hijacked a helicopter to help them escape .

wild geese 1 and 2 have some relations with the james bond universe . roger moore played the role of james bond in seven movies ( 1973 - 1985 ) . peter r . hunt , who directed this film , worked as an editor in the first five bond movies ( 1962 - 1967 ) , and then directed bond movie on her majesty ' s secret service ( 1969 ) . edward fox and barbara carrera have worked together in the bond movie never say never again ( 1983 ) . richard harris ' brother ' s wife ' s next husband was pierce brosnan , who played bond in four movies ( 1995 - 2002 ) .

unlike 1978 ' s the wild geese which was chock full of story , action and even some moral values this apparent sequel comes up short on all accounts . a plan to spring nazi war criminal rudolf hess from his cell in spandau prison by a team of mercenaries is the basis of the movie . the story is slow and fails to establish any likeable characters as the original did . sadly richard burton who was to recreate the colonel faulkner role died before filming began and was replaced by edward fox who seems shallow in his performance . as the film progresses the viewer keeps waiting for something to get going but it never seems to . in all a sad disappointment .

it ' s hard to believe that this film is directed by peter hunt , the same man who gave us the peerless bond movie on her majesty ' s secret service , the cold war berlin here is devoid of atmosphere and the film is equally lacking in thrills . the original wild geese , with its engaging boozy leads of burton , harris , moore and kruger and the cream of british character actors rounding off the troop is a rip snorting boy ' s own adventure that continues to pay off and is ideal to sit back with on a cold night with a few tipples . this ill advised sequel needs more than a few drinks to make it worth while .

as a fan of the original " wild geese , " i couldn ' t help but be crushingly disappointed by this disjointed , boring " sequel . " scott glen goes through the film as if on prozac and barbara carrera is strictly no - talent eye - candy . edward fox looks bored in yet another of his jackal - ripoff roles . as for laurence olivier as hess , well , it looks like he thought he would reprise his embarrassing performance as neil diamond ' s father in the 1980 " jazz singer . " this was just one more of the many child - support - and - alimony - payments - are - due roles that crowded the end of his otherwise distinguished career .

as zorin mocked pip as " a gnat " and summoned reinforcements , seras honored the captain ' s last wish and drank his blood . in doing so , she unlocked her true vampiric powers , giving her the strength to effortlessly destroy zorin ' s soldiers and overpower the first lieutenant . when zorin attempted to trap seras in another illusion , she discovered that pip ' s memories had been added to seras ' , preventing her from influencing the latter ' s mind . after killing zorin , seras set out for london , citing her earlier promise to pip that she would " get " the nazis . the two survivors of the wild geese realized that their captain lived on within seras herself , and thus saluted her before she left .
