Commando Leopard (1985)

A quasi-mythical leader and his band of  revolutionary mercenaries are up against a dictatorial regime of an unidentified Latin American state and its bloodthirsty militia, fronted by an evil old man (Klaus Kinski).   The story also involves a heroic priest of a war-torn village who stands up to the militia leader and earns the respect and help of the mercenaries.  This ambitious exploitation action film was the most expensive Swiss-budgeted production up to that time and Antonio Margheriti directs with enthusiasm and style.  It features giant explosions blowing up a dam, a stationary plane, and a moving train as well as a subtle score by Ennio Morricone. 100 minutes WIDESCREEN VERSION (anamorphic) English audio sound DVD is NTSC format, Region 0 (region free) playable world wide Also known as: Kommando Leopard Directed by Antonio Margheriti Starring: Lewis Collins, Klaus Kinski, Cristina Donadio, Manfred Lehmann, John Steiner, Hans Leutenegger, Thomas Danneberg and Francis Derosa
