While They Were Bond — The Wild Geese

The Oddjob Pod’s While They Were Bond series continues with a movie that is much loved by Terry and Graham but controversial with values that can be kindly expressed as of their time. The 1978 action war film, The Wild Geese had an all star cast including Roger Moore.

The film is an attempt to navigate through the highly complex world of African politics while at the same time trying to recreate the tone of classic war movies of the 1960s.

History has not been kind to the film and we discuss the more problematic elements while celebrating the bits that we still love about this movie.
