4.0 out of 5 stars Wild Geese II Review from former Intell Officer, October 5, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Wild Geese 2 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Looking back at it almost 20 years later, Wild Geese II is a fantastic cinematic snapshot of 1980's Cold War Berlin. I was stationed there at that time as an army intelligence officer, and the movie brings back many memories. Edward Fox is better than Burton who I greatly admire, but felt looked too old even in Wild Geese One. Scott Glenn is excellent as the hard-charging merc with a violent past. Sir Laurence Olivier was very believable as Rudolf Hess. All in all, this is a top notch Euan Lloyd film. Don't listen to the naysayers, buy it or rent it. I hope it comes out on DVD one day.

3.0 out of 5 stars A great slice of history; and the motivations of Rudolf Hess, August 20, 1999

This review is from: Wild Geese 2 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

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. Edward Fox is too bland and Scott Glenn as the mercenary gives us one of the early glimpses into why he was never leading man material. Short bio clip on Hess early in film is very well done. At least the viewer knows who Rudolf Hess is.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nothing to do with the first movie, but OK., June 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Wild Geese 2 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

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. Sir Lawrence plays a small part with a monologue at the end. The Wild Geese (the first one) is better, but there are a couple of isolated good scenes here that make the movie worth while.
