  1. Well, it WAS the 80’s…I thought this was the best mercenary film I ever saw. Loved the UZI’s and the interplay between the Afrikaan and the “Kaffir”. The Poison darts at the guard towers was also cool. The hats certainly were over the top, but the real military special units of the time were not dressed much differently! Good Job!
