wild geese ii

well my thoughts on wild geese will wait for another review . pull up a chair and lets talk wild geese ii . wild goose more like it .
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 .
fn fal 50 . 00 rifles are seen in footage from original the wild geese .
fn fal 50 . 61 rifles are seen in footage from original the wild geese .
the picture was released seven years after the original the wild geese ( 1978 ) .
as a kid in the 80s , roaming the video clubs and staring up at the shelves open mouthed with excitement at the ranges of rip roaring action that , if i was lucky , my parents would allow me to watch , i always thought there were three ' wild geese ' movies ; the wild geese , wild geese ii and codename : wild geese .

no characters from the original the wild geese ( 1978 ) movie appear in this sequel . ironically , the film ' s trailer states

they fly again . . .

the only reason i watched this is because i watched the original wild geese . the only reason i watched wild geese because i was a kid in the local video store and that vhs cover sat there mocking me that i was too young to watch it and the cover look exciting .

the film ' s opening titles feature a dedication to the wild geese ( 1978 ) actor richard burton , with a short summary of this movie .

and it was some years later that i realised that the only wild geese film worth bothering with was the original , one i had grown to adore .
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 ) .
a thoughtful , action - driven , hard - edge , realistic and memorable film - - not a sequel to the roger moore ' s lampoonish bond - era wild geese .

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 . )
several mk ii hand grenades are seen among the weapons , provided by alex faulkner . a grenade is used by haddad ( scott glenn ) to break the door of stroebling ' s hideout . a mk ii grenade is also seen in footage from original the wild geese .

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 .

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

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

give a girl a break stars the married dance team marge and gower champion , along with debbie reynolds and newcomer bob fosse . helen wood and kurt kasznar round out the cast as the third couple .
“give a girl a break” is a huge success and suzy is a star . plus , she and bob are in love . it looks like a happy ending ! but ted is not as thrilled as one might expect . something is missing…
my review : “give a girl a break” isn’t a film often discussed today . it’s colorful and fun , has great dancing , but i think that’s largely forgotten when it comes to mgm’s catalog of 1950s technicolor musicals .
give a girl a break is one of the many backstage musicals that classic hollywood churned out so regularly . it’s got all the usual elements : a “puttin’ on a show” plot , young talent desperate for a big break , budding romances in the troupe , and a spoiled star who has lost her pure love for the stage .
here’s the trailer for give a girl a break –enjoy ! for more , follow me on twitter , tumblr , pinterest , instagram , and facebook . you can buy this movie here , and , as always , thanks for reading !

mgm wasn’t thrilled with give a girl a break and didn’t give it a big national opening ( which is why the release date is confusing ) nor national reviews . so i don’t have my usual new york times writeup . trade papers for exhibitors did review the movie , and they didn’t find it as terrible as mgm seemed to think it was .

when a temperamental star walks out of a big broadway show , it ' s time to give a girl a break . but which of the hopefuls will land the lead ? suzy ( debbie reynolds ) brings pizzazz . joanna ( helen wood ) offers swellegant sophistication . and lovely madelyn ( marge champion ) is the director ' s former dance partner and former love .

( less )
now “give a girl a break” ( it’s the name of the show , too ! ) needs a new leading lady . all the established stars are already in other shows , so the producer , mr . jordan ( larry keating ) , suggests that ted call his former partner madelyn ( marge champion ) . but ted isn’t a fan of that idea . things ended badly between them .
plot : when the star of a broadway show walks out after a tiff with the show’s choreographer ted sturgis ( champinon ) , the show publicizes that they are looking for a newcomer to “give a girl a break . ” three girls with varying talents : professional broadway dancer madelyn corlane ( champion ) , sophisticated ballet dancer joanna moss ( sharp ) , and young , inexperienced tap dancer suzie doolittle ( reynolds ) .
suzy doolitte ( debbie reynolds ) , madelyn corlane ( ted’s ex - partner ) and joanna moss ( helen wood , who would later change her name to dolly sharp ) see the casting call as they practice their moves . their surroundings melt into a pastel set where the ladies sing and dance to “give a girl a break” with music by burton lane and lyrics by ira gershwin .
daddy ' s girl : the rise and fall of the world ' s most famous park . . .
stanley donen stayed on as director through the downgrade , though he wasn’t wild about the project . as he said later , “the idea for the story is so puny that it’s not worth spending a year of one’s life on it . ” singin’ in the rain it’s not , but give a girl a break still includes some spectacular musical numbers , and i always enjoy watching the champions , reynolds , and bob fosse .
plus , on a more personal level , fosse realized that his “looks were not those of a leading man . ” he also knew , as donen and others on the project did , that give a girl a break was not going to be a great film . still , fosse threw himself into the project , and donen recalled that he was “the hardest worker i’ve ever known . ” high praise coming from someone who worked with gene kelly and famous perfectionist fred astaire !

from agadez , migrants reach the ténéré desert . “it’s like the sea , ” a nigerian girl said . “it don’t have a start , it don’t have an end . ”
blessing’s family used to own a house and a small plot of land . her father was a bricklayer , but he died in a car accident when blessing was a little girl . the family was close to penniless , and doris was left to raise her four children alone .
a toast is such a unique form of public speaking . while everyone thinks they know what a toast is supposed to do it’s clear that few people know how to give a toast that is remembered for all the right reasons . even pippa middleton had to endure a wretched toast offered by her husband’s off - key best man !
every year , thousands of teen - agers from a city in nigeria risk death and endure forced labor and sex work on the long route to europe . ben taub reported one girl’s story .
it’s the same argument used against speed cameras and parking fines . how often have you heard those caught out proclaim themselves as “law - abiding citizens” and bemoan the infringement of their freedom ? i have news for you : if you break the speed limit , or park illegally , or indeed break health and safety or trading regulations , you are not a law - abiding citizen . you’re actually the one who’s in the wrong .
meanwhile , mr . jordan still wants madelyn for the part . ted doubts that she is in performance shape after being out of the business for two years , but he’s willing to give her a chance .
do you have a sister , niece , or close family friend who you’d love to include in the wedding party , but she’s too old to be a flower girl and too young to be a bridesmaid ? there’s another super - special way to honor her role in your life : make her a junior bridesmaid ! with your ‘maids planning your bridal shower , organizing the bachelorette party , and popping the champagne while you get your hair and makeup done , what’s left for a junior bridesmaid to do ? our experts are here to break it down for you .
but don’t get me wrong , i love the champions . i think they are likable on screen and are some of the best dancers to grace the silver screen . but for some reason they never caught on with fans . mgm signed the married dancers in 1951 for the film “show boat” with the hopes of making them the next fred astaire and ginger rogers . they only made three films with mgm and left the studio in 1955 . “give a girl a break” did poorly in the box office and lost mgm $ 1 million . after they left in 1955 , they appeared on other tv shows but no more film roles to the significance that they had at mgm .
the dancing teacher anastasia falls in love with the smart theatre agent jud . he likes her , too , but does not want to give up his solo life at all . thus she plans a trap for him . . .
at the libyan border , a black line of asphalt marks the beginning of a long , smooth highway heading north . but any relief belies the lawlessness and the cruelty to come . last fall , at a checkpoint , a migrant from sierra leone named abdul looked on as a libyan man harassed a teen - age girl from nigeria . “there was some argument , so the man just cocked his gun and shot the
i wondered if that was their point : the three men couldn’t decide who they liked best and they didn’t want to give the audience an easy out of who to pick ? i don’t know .
after several hours in the mountains , oumar reached the gates of the desert , the beginning of the ténéré , an expanse of sand roughly the size of california . “it’s like the sea , ” a seventeen - year - old nigerian girl told me . “it don’t have a start , it don’t have an end . ” some years pass without a drop of rainfall . “nothing lives there , not even insects , ” oumar said . “sometimes you see birds , but if you give them water they die . ”
a junior bridesmaid is a younger member of the wedding party who falls squarely into that age gap between “flower girl” and “bridesmaid” ( usually about eight to 16 , or whatever ages you feel are appropriate ) . she might be a younger sister or sister - in - law , a niece , a cousin , a daughter , or a close family friend . essentially , if she is important to you and your partner and falls in the age range you’ve determined , she’s the perfect candidate .
this winter , blessing was placed in a shelter for underage migrants . “in italy , we’re very good at the process of emergency reception , ” an official said . “they arrive . we give them something to eat . we put them in a reception center . but after that ? there is no solution . ”
“there’s an extraordinary level of implicit racism here , and it’s evident in the fact that there are no underage italian girls working the streets , ” father enzo volpe , a priest who runs a center for migrant children and trafficking victims , told me . “society dictates that it’s bad to sleep with a girl of thirteen or fourteen years . but if she’s african ? nobody gives a fuck . they don’t think of her as a person . ”
blessing , juliet , and a nigerian girl named gift walked down the hill singing church songs and drawing smiles from locals . the sky was gloomy , and soon it started to drizzle . but they kept walking , farther from the camp than they had ever been . eventually , they reached a pebble beach , a few miles north of the port of messina .
one thing i like about this film is that it focuses on three women trying to get a role and we get to learn each girl’s story . that type of plot is more intriguing to me because , while marge champion is the most featured of the three , the “leading lady” is less defined . for me , it’s hard to decide which girl i would want to cheer for to be picked for the broadway show , because each one has her traits that are interesting and could work .

the number takes a nightmarish turn with the appearance of suzy , joanna , and then a dozen other ladies vying for ted’s attention . he can’t find madelyn ! but then he slides down the fireman’s pole and they finish the number alone .
doris and the children moved into a small apartment without plumbing or electricity and hung a portrait of the father above a broken couch . blessing , who was tall and slender , with large eyes and prominent cheekbones , helped her mother sell provisions . in the evenings , she took the money they had earned to another market , where everything is a few cents cheaper , to restock the shop . they ate with whatever money was left , which meant that sometimes they didn’t eat .

many migrants were temporarily kept at palanebiolo , a makeshift camp in a former baseball stadium on the outskirts of messina , before being distributed among other centers throughout italy . a huge concrete wall surrounds the complex ; rusted rebar pokes through it , and lizards dart in and out of the cracks . a couple of days after being taken to palanebiolo , a group of west african men who had been rescued by the dignity i sat on a cinder - block ledge outside . they had no money or possessions , and complained that the food was lousy and the tents let in rainwater . they had received no medical attention—not even antiparasitic cream to treat scabies , which all of them had . some were still wearing the same ragged clothes from their voyage , stiff with dried vomit and seawater .
as a member of the bridal party , your junior bridesmaid should match the rest of the women standing by your side . many bridesmaid designers also create coordinating gowns for younger women so she’ll fit right in . these dresses often have more age - appropriate lengths and necklines , and we love the idea of having her stand out by putting her in a matching floral print or a slightly lighter color than the rest of your ‘maids . she should carry a bouquet that is smaller than the bridesmaids’ , but coordinates with their flowers .
