Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

GazerRise Fantastic!

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Woodyanders Cynical Captain Henry Morris (well played with mucho macho aplomb by David Warbeck) takes an assignment to go behind enemy lines in order to destroy a Viet Cong radio tower that's broadcasting demoralizing anti-American propaganda to US troops. Photojournalist Jane (an appealing portrayal by the fetching Tisa Farrow) and a motley squad of soldiers assist Morris on his desperate mission.Director Antonio Margheriti keeps the entertaining story moving along at a constant quick pace, maintains a harsh gritty tone throughout, delivers a handy helping of gory violence, and stages the rousing action set pieces with considerable skill and brio. Moreover, this film earns extra points for its fierce anti-war stance which comes complete with an uncompromising downbeat ending. The excellent cast of familiar Italian trash cinema faces helps a whole lot: Tony King as the smooth George, Bobby Rhodes as the rugged Carlos, Margit Evelyn Newton as the bitter Carol, and, in an especially bravura turn, John Steiner as the unhinged Major Cash. Dardano Sacchetti's derivative script copies both "The Deer Hunter" and "Apocalypse Now" with merry slavish abandon. Franco Micalizzi's funky-throbbing score hits the get-down groovy spot. Ricardo Pallottini's slick widescreen cinematography provides an impressive glossy look. Good low-rent fun.

davidpoulton-1 A terrible movie, worth watching principally on the basis of how NOT to do it. The whole show, from beginning to end has the feel of a spaghetti western, but is based on a Vietnam special forces operation and the outdoor scenes look like they were shot in somewhere like the Philippines, as the extras don't actually look Vietnamese at all! There is a main man and a girl who gets dragged along for the ride, token black men and an evil enemy too, not to mention the somewhat mad American officer that conjures up memories of Apocalypse now, but in a very cheap way. It is in the league of Hammer house of horror, but no where near as amusing because it completely lacks originality. The best scenes are in the whore house at the beginning, after which is becomes somewhat daft, as an American Captain goes gallivanting about in the jungle in search of a secret radio station that he has to destroy, armed with nothing more than a colt 45 and his receding hair line (I wonder if he was soon to go bald, in which case he would have looked better). As for the chick; just an old boiler, that looked completely out of place in almost every scene. My favourite moments had to be when the squad finds itself in a system of caves occupied by American soldiers that were being attacked by the Viet Cong, as it features hospital quarters with fresh sheets on the beds and neatly stored supplies throughout what is a very clean system of tunnels, when in reality having lived in the same tunnels for a number of weeks things would be getting rather rancid by the time the action heroes chanced upon this encampment. Absurdity at its best!

Bogey Man Antonio Margheriti's L'Ultimo cacciatore aka The Last Hunter (1980) stars the late, great David Warbeck and Tisa "Zombie Flesh Eaters" Farrow as a group of soldiers who have a mission during Vietnam war to go and destroy some radio station of the enemy. Farrow is a photographer and Warbeck is a military captain and once they get on the way, they soon find themselves in the middle of fire power, deadly traps and killing as there are blood thirsty enemies everywhere. In other words, a typical violent exploitationer from the golden days of Spaghetti gore.This was definitely worth watching and getting the newly released UK release which is gorgeous widescreen and uncut, unlike many previous releases. The film concentrates on strong violence as there are horrible traps, bloody shootings, stabbings, limb snappings and over all gory mayhem, which is also pretty brutal and nihilistic, most notably the "boat scene" near the end in which the terror gets even more forms. This was the style of those days since producers wanted to make gory and violent films in all genres in order to cash in by the success of such box office classics as Romero's Dawn of the Dead and more importantly for the Italian themselves, Fulci's Zombie 2 aka Zombie Flesh Eaters. Director Margheriti has said that he wanted to do these two war related films of his (the other being Apocalypse Domani aka Cannibal Apocalypse, a horrific cannibal terror film set in a big city) more anti war themed and pacifistic, but the producers wanted to add large doses of violence and gore so that's why most of the time's films are so brutally violent.The Last Hunter was written by Dardano Sachetti, who worked with Fulci a lot. Director Margheriti is known for his imaginative camera style and often weird camera angles, which are perhaps too plenty in The Last Hunter as they become little irritating and underlining and don't mean anything when used this often. The first 30 minutes of the film is incredibly intense and the viewer definitely won't watch the clock during that, since the film is so exciting and fast moving at the beginning. The film slows down a little towards the end, but for most of the time it is pure action. The effects are very great, most notably the huge explosions which are plenty and fierce is this film, so the budget was definitely at least moderate. The gore effects have always been The thing for these Italian exploitation makers, and The Last Hunter isn't an exception. The gore effects are convincing and full of the usual "eye gouging close up" details which are also very usual in Fulci's zombie films like The Beyond and Zombie Flesh Eaters. The Last Hunter is totally pointless in any other level than delivering mayhem and violence so this is pretty classic exploitation film which still has great amount of cinematic skill and that's a great thing. I think I appreciate Apocalyse Domani little higher, but The Last Hunter is definitely noteworthy film for lovers of ultra violent and prolific Italian cinema of the 70's and 80's. 6/10
