Average Rating: 
Rating: - Great for Lee Marvin & Roger Moore Fans.
I bought this on tape because of the actors and story line. I am not a critic on all the technical aspects of film making so I judge a movie on entertainment value. This one I found very enjoyable. The time period is approx. 1915-1918 and the war in Africa between the British and Germans. It has some very funny parts with the drunk Marvin and gullable Moore. The love interest adds just the right touch and unlike some reveiwers I think was needed to spice up the plot. It even has some flying ... Read More
Rating:  - USA DVD EDITION???
This is one of Lee Marvin's best movies and it's a shame that it is only in a Region 2 format, what about us poor schmucks that live in the USA and need a Region 1 release, what are we "Chopped Liver"?

I recently saw the movie again after a gap of 20 years and was only disappointed in the quality of the DVD - as pointed out by another reviewer. Yes - the acting is a bit overdone and the tone of the movie does " darken" - but I saw that as a natural progression of the plot. I would love to see this film restored. It is pure sprawling, constant entertainment, in a style that still leaves today's CGI special effects movies for dead.
Rating:  - Gung ho adventure in 70's mould
This is far from a classic, but fans of Lee Marvin will be well rewarded with a flamboyant performance, and fans of Roger Moore with.. well, a standard Roger Moore performance.
Story is based on Wilbur Smiths novel of the same name, and loosely based around real events, albeit with fictional characters. Roger Moores Englishman forms an unlikely alliance with Lee Marvin's alcoholic rogue, firstly in the poaching game, and latterly in the fight against the Germans, 1914 style, in Zanzibar. ...

Rating: - Epic, huh
Shout at the Devil is tauted as a sizzling epic of love, war and revenge on the back of the tape's box. It did have have war and revenge, but not quite of epic proportions. It did have a love angle. That love angle, spliced with the war and revenge, slowed down the action and the plot considerably. The director used Africa's scenery to a capital advantage. Too bad scenery can't win an Oscar. One scene even required a WWI airplane surveillance; better to show off more of that scenery. Marvin, as ... Read More
