Another flock of wild geese

British action star Lewis Collins stars in this action/adventure film about another group of mercenaries sent in to eliminate a drug lord in Southeast Asia. The problem is that they are working for a rival just as they were in Code Name: Wild Geese which starred Collins and Lee Van Cleef.

Van Cleef is at his sardonic best in this film as the one who puts together the mercenary team. There's also a CIA involvement in this. Spymaster Donald Pleasence puts a ringer into Collins's mercenaries with instructions to get a floppy disc to him or destroy it. It contains the names of all kinds big players in the international drug trade.

Nothing special here, fans of Van Cleef and Pleasence get to see both of them ham it up a bit. And if you saw Code Name: Wild Geese or the orginal Wild Geese the same general plot outline is followed.

Trivia
In the German translation everyone talks about retrieving a "floppy disk", while it's clearly a CD-ROM.

Goofs
When one of the commandos is met by the Thai lady commando at the airport, the MG car's left indicator is flashing when she gets out, but it is off when they get in the car in the shot from the back of the vehicle.
