two major minuses: One: the music is kinda campy & cheesy and continuously detracts from the visible effort the actors put into to it. It might have been in vogue when Madonna made 'Vogue' but it's sooooo dated now. Think a drunk Vangelis on a Monday morning and you're halfway.
Two: The movie obviously suffers from not having proper camera equipment and not being able to make 'expensive' shots. Nowadays you can make a better movie with a cheap 200 $ drone camera..but of course they didnt have that back then. Although they DID have helicopters in the movie, they just never bothered to use them for any good looking shots. Cinematography: 3 out of 10.
But I think the acting is a LOT better then I had expected, and it's a shame this movie is relegated to obscurity because of it's flaws.

Handlung
WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesThe original working title was (depending on the source) was 'Code Name: Commando' or 'Commando Force'. After shooting, the Italian and German producers of this film decided to appropriate the name 'Codename: Wild Geese' to cash in on the popularity of two unrelated action films 'The Wild Geese' (1978) and The Soldier (1982) (also known as 'Codename: The Soldier' in some countries). Unfortunately' actor Lewis Collins, who had appeared in 'The Wild Geese' producer Euan Lloyd's previous film 'Who Dares Wins' (1982) found himself on the receiving end of Lloyd's anger as Lloyd was intending to cast Collins in his next project 'Wild Geese II' (1985). Collins was instantly dropped from the project as Lloyd didn't want the public to think Codename: WIld Geese was connected in any way with his film.
