Wild Geese II: Review

starstarstarstar
Implausible, reactionary adventure tale dedicated to Richard Burton, who starred in the first WILD GEESE seven years before and was supposed to star in this one. Edward Fox, a last-minute replacement, is introduced as Burton's younger but equally adroit brother. John Haddad (Scott Glenn) is a mercenary hired by a TV company to pull off a daring kidnappings, namely the snatch of Rudolf Hess from his four-decade-long solitary confinement in Spandau prison. Kathy (Barbara Carrera) and Michael Lukas (John Terry) are a brother-sister act who work for the TV company and play a part in the caper, which has something to do with getting Hess (Laurence Olivier) to divulge the secrets he's been keeping all these years. As in any caper movie, a great deal of time is spent assembling the team, going over the plot, carefully casing the area, etc. The film boasts more hardware than a Hammacher-Schlemmer catalog, fetishistically fixating on items like noise-suppressed machine guns, machine pistols, and quick-release knives. Since none of the four countries--the US, USSR, Britain, and France--overseeing Spandau would give permission for any filming having to do with Hess (who was later to die in the prison), the shoot took place at an old jail in the Tegel section of Berlin. leave a comment
