What makes it different from others?

What a waste of my time!!!

How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

I really like this film. It is fun to watch. It has an assortment of actors: ford, fox, shaw, Kiel, etc. . I really like Barbara Bach. She is still very attractive and her acting is fun to watch. It appears everybody is having fun in the film. The only question I have is why did Mallory switch from being an American, (peck) to being British, (shaw) ? It is a great film for a big bowl of popcorn! I only wish they would have made it a little sooner. I can understand why they didn't. Ford was unknown at the time of American graffiti. I wish they show an unedited version on TV. Luckily I have a VHS copy in my library. I was wondering if this is on DVD. I watch this movie usually on Saturday or Sunday to make it feel like going to the movies.

It's a James Bond reunion of sorts as director of more than a few Bond movies Guy Hamilton directs Robert Shaw (in his last movie) a young Harrison Ford and a few Bond stars in a thoroughly enjoyable army picture, that is good old fashioned family viewing. I watched this with my 9 year old son, and we're both fully entertained. Plot In A Paragraph: Mallory (Shaw) and Miller (Edward Fox) are sent to Yugoslavia to find and kill Nicolai a traitor who informed the Germans about Miller and Mallory during a previous mission in Navarone. To get to Yugoslavia, the two men pair with "Force 10", an American unit, led by Lieutenant Colonel Barnsby (Ford), which has its own mission there.With a few exceptions all the cast are fine. Carl Weathers (Apollo Creed from "Rocky") is solid. Myy favourite Bond girl Barbara Bach is as good as I've seen her (admittedly I've only seen her in a couple of movies. One being my the James Bond movie "The Spy Who Loved Me") and i am surprised she never had a bigger career. Richard Keil (Jaws from James Bond) does his usual bad guy routine and Michael Byrne is his reliable self as is Edward Fox.It is not without its problems, some of the fight scenes are awfully staged, and their is obvious use of miniatures. Shaw's accent was very distracting to start with (I'm not sure if he dropped it, or I forgot about it) and Ford's acting was dire in his first scene, but thankfully it improved.

Force 10 from Navarone is directed by Guy Hamilton and adapted to screenplay by Robin Chapman. It stars Robert Shaw, Harrison Ford, Edward Fox, Carl Weathers, Franco Nero, Richard Kiel and Barbara Bach. Music is by Ron Goodwin and cinematography by Christopher Challis.An unnecessary and belated follow up to The Guns of Navarone (1961), Force Ten follows the same formula but doesn't have the class of the earlier movie. It's another men on a mission movie that sees the guys en-route to blow up a dam in Second World War Yugoslavia. Cue a spy in the ranks who needs fleshing out, scrapes and tribulations involving partisans and inevitable capture, and the presence of Weathers' Sergeant Weaver gives the story a whole bunch of racial tension. Sadly suspense is very much lacking within the two hour running time, director Hamilton (probably under orders) just stringing the plot along in undemanding fashion. There's the usual quota of machismo, although Barbara Bach's token female interest tries to lower the testosterone levels, and Goodwin's brisk militarised score is pleasant enough. Cast performances are credible, with Fox the most watchable, and real Yugoslavian location usage is truly a plus point.Not awful, just hackneyed and instantly forgettable. File in the DVD cabinet under title "Disposable Men On A Mission Movies". 5/10

Ho-hum WW2 actioner which certainly benefits from its extensive showcasing of the beautiful Slavic countryside, FORCE 10 FROM NAVARONE was obviously a name-only sequel cash-in from the start and utterly doomed in trying to fit in with its tonally divergent predecessor.There really weren't too many WW2 movies from the late 70's... actually only BRIDGE TOO FAR (which also starred Edward Fox in a similarly bombastic role) springs to mind, and so this one is a bit of a curiosity especially in terms of casting. As was par for the course at the time a lot of effort is made to bring in foreign audiences by casting European stars, but Franco Nero is largely wasted in an unfortunately obvious role with only one tense scene of note.It's funny to see James Bond alums Richard Kiel (best known as "Jaws" in THE SPY WHO LOVED ME and MOONRAKER) and Barbara Bach together again as Chetniks vs. Spielberg/Lucas protégés Harrison Ford and Robert Shaw (JAWS - the movie) in what is essentially a glorified B war movie only marginally glossier than what Italy and Yugoslavia were pumping out a decade prior.Unfortunately there's a lot of missed opportunities and bad logic which takes this movie down several notches. The Germans are of course portrayed as utterly stupid and are easily bamboozled so many times that they're rendered utterly nonthreatening by the film's end. Carl Weathers provides probably the most likable and 3-dimensional of all the characters in the film but his presence doesn't really make much sense or add anything aside from some comedic moments with Richard Kiel, who takes an instant dislike to him. Harrison Ford sleepwalks his way through the film and Robert Shaw looks and acts as exhausted as he probably was at this time so near to the end of his life.As par for the course there's plenty of explosions and gun-play but unfortunately quite wasted in a largely daft and sloppily made film.Look fast for Doctor Who actors Michael Sheard (later reunited with Ford as Hitler in INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE) and Leslie Schofield (the guy in STAR WARS who tells Peter Cushing that "There is a danger") in bit parts as German soldiers. Also don't blink or you'll miss some nudity courtesy of Ms. Bach only two years prior to her marriage to Ringo Starr. Also strange is how Robert Rietty (who provided Adolfo Celi's dubbed voice in THUNDERBALL and Tetsuro Tamba's in YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE) here lends his dubbing over Bond villain Richard Kiel! I suppose that's to be expected when you hire on a director best known for Bond movies.
