In my opinion one of the most underrated films ever. And the scenes with Hardy Krueger coming around and seeing how we all need to get along were super

It reminds me so much of my (father) he took me to see this film when it came out I was underage it was an AA we went to see it in Bracknell Berkshire. My mum was having a Tupperware party, I was asked my age. The Ticket seller was having none of it even though I said the right age (15), year, date, to pass. The manageress got involved and looked me straight in the face (she knew really) but then said to the ticket seller sell the man (Daddy) 2 tickets. The ticket lady still wouldn`t so the manageress got behind the counter and sold them to my dad and all I could hear as we went in was he isn`t 15 I know he isn`t !! Great film great cast what fun they must of had making it. love it today as I did all those years ago very happy memories

I agree with KuroMicra -- that line, "Let's talk about your father" excellently sums up the movie... and the life of a mercenary. I would give honorable mention when Col. Faulkner says to the RSM, "You know, Sandy, when we're alone like this, you don't have to keep calling me Sir!", whereupon Sandy, but 'being' Sandy in character, replies, "Yes, Sir." ;-) Second runner-up, old Jock, when Col. Faulkner says during the interview, "You look like you've been hit a few times" and then ol' Jock makes with, "Yes, Sir. [pauses] Some of the hitters are still hearing bells, Sir." Great movie!

Richard Burton had ‘it’! An icon who did nothing more than be himself, and the camera just exuded this incredible magnetism about him. It wasn’t a really ‘nice’ and likable quality like that of, say, Peter Jennings. But it was so shining. I don’t know what it is, but I guess it doesn’t matter. He just had IT.

Both this film and later the adaptation of Frederick Forsyth's "The Dogs of War" are outstanding in the portrayal of the true cost of war and the innocents who often are it's victims. Faulkner, as portrayed by Burton and Walken as Jamie Shannon are the world weary protagonists on a road to hell leading to betrayal, loss and ultimately, the futility and depravity of war. The moving soundtrack to 'The Dogs of War' by Geoffrey Burgon is as haunting and eloquent as any I have heard particularly the final song in the end credits and the lyrics "Epitaph to an Army of Mercenaries ' sung so powerfully by Gillian MacPherson....I recommend all to look it up. Once heard never forgotten, particularly if you have experience of mortal combat.

Apologies if I am preaching to the choir. But, if you liked Jock, I recommend you track down a copy of "The General Danced at Dawn" by George MacDonald Fraser. The book covers a highland regiment full of those kind of guys. The good news is that, if you like it, there's a few other books in the series. BTW: George MacDonald Fraser also wrote the Flashman series of books, which are all pretty funny and fairly accurate historically (or so I read). Cheers

This is where I learned that if you thought a USMC Drill Instructor, Army Drill Sergeant or in the case of my father, maternal and paternal grandfathers, USAF Military Training Instructors were bad news, they were nothing compared to a British/Commonwealth Colour Sergeant, CSM or RSM. Most didn't have to yell. Their gaze of disappointment was often enough. Also learned if one thought Smoke Sessions, even old-school Smoke Sessions were bad and they could be, they also were nothing compared to a proper old-school Beasting that a Colour Sergeant, CSM or RSM could dish out.
