The Born Losers (1967)
born losers
Elisabeth James was so gorgeous! It's a shame she didn't appear on screen more often.
Fukkatsu no hi (1980)
Excellent movie ( full-length)
I rated this only 8 out of 10 because of the lack of a translation of the Japanese. Otherwise, it's well worth watching , but only in the full-length version. Chuck Connors trying to speak with a British accent is a bit of a distraction. You also have to wonder how Yokizumi mad it out of Washington, DC.
The Mercenaries (1968)
Sadly overlooked war movie
This action film was BY FAR the favorite war movie of the foreign volunteers with whom I served in the Rhodesian Army. We probably all thought of ourselves as Bruce Curry clones.
Once, when on a leave from a bush trip, I saw that this film, under the title The Mercenaries, was showing in a Salisbury theatre so, of course, I had to go see it. I arrived slightly late and the house lights were already dark, so I took my seat and enjoyed the ride.
When it was over and the house lights came on, I looked around and saw that probably EVERY one of the foreigners who happened to be in town at that time was in the audience with me. Some of them were even going to stay and watch it again.
