Rating:  - Not as bad as some would have you believe - DVD please
Written by the same author and oiginally intended to star Richard Burton, this 1985 follow-up to the classoc 1978 original was(somewhat) unfairly mauled by critics upon its release. It shared the same fate of another favorite of mine (Force 10 From Navarone) in utilizing a well-known and beloved movie title with a very different plot line.
Although I enjoy the original that starred Burton alongside Roger Moore and Richard Harris, I prefer the Cold War intrigue of this movie to the African backdrop ... Read More
Rating: - Thoughtful thriller
A thoughtful, action-driven, hard-edge, realistic and memorable film--NOT a sequel to the Roger Moore's lampoonish Bond-era Wild Geese.
Rating:  - The Not So Great Sequel To The Wild Geese
The Wild Geese is one of the better action films out there with its combination of a top-notch leading cast, a good supporting cast, a good script and spectacular action sequences. Then there's this film: a sequel in name only. Wild Geese II lacks many of the above listed elements.
The original film had the wonderful combination of Richard Burton, Roger Moore, and Richard Harris. Now Burton was set to return for this film before his untimely death. His replacement in this film is Edward Fox ... Read More
Rating:  - Wild Geese II Review from former Intell Officer
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 ... Read More
Rating:  - Poor and Unnecessary Sequel to a Fine Film
I liked the first film so much, I thought I'd give this one a shot. This was horrible. Story of Mercanaries attempting to break Rudolf Hess out of prison in Germany. Without Richard Burton this film falls flat on its face, and the whole project should never have gone forward after Burton's unfortunate death. This sequel was very unneccessary anyway. It should've been a film by itself. If you haven't already, than see the first movie, it is so much better. Try this if you want but I don't reccomend it.
