völliger quatsch. mag ja ein klassiker sein, kann jedoch nicht viel mit dieser geschichte und deren figuren anfangen. zwei rentner bilden eine truppe und befreien einen schwarzen. kein o-ton, das ist sowieso schlecht.

Frühes Actionfeuerwerk mit Starbesetzung. Auch heute noch absolut sehenswert.

Ein gut gemachter Söldnerfilm. Spannend inszeniert und haufenweise gute Action. Sehenswert!
