The greatest movie ever made..!

Really Surprised!

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Antonio Margheriti's (CANNIBAL APOCALYPSE) first Macaroni Combat film, a genre that would become his final mainstay, is an outrageously, over-the-top thrill ride with no political agenda whatsoever.After witnessing the grim suicide of his shell-shocked buddy, a burned-out Army captain (David Warbeck, THE BEYOND) agrees to take on a final suicide mission with the help of two black soldier dudes (Tony King and Bobby Rhodes) and a fine-looking photojournalist (Tisa Farrow, ZOMBIE).As the first Macaroni Combat film about Vietnam, THE LAST HUNTER certainly delivers the exploitation goodness with just a hint of brief nudity. Although the script from Dardano Sacchetti is filled with unintentionally hilarious dialog, mainstream audiences may be turned off by the lack of historical context. Warbeck gives a good performance that is a literal reminiscent of Martin Sheen's Willard from APOCALYPSE NOW.And speaking of that Coppola epic, the Philippine locations in which the film was shot are in fact leftover sets. It comes to show that no matter how blatant the filmmakers are, THE LAST HUNTER is certainly a pleasure to look at just for the settings. Despite not being a good actress as her sister, Tisa does give some enthusiasm into the character and it works rather well.Turn off your brains and enjoy the mindless Italian action.

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!

Although I'm a fan of the war movie genre I hardly could get through this. This movie has 20 minutes of good, believable and tense scenes - the rest is really cheap and not even entertaining. I trusted some of the reviews here and bought the DVD unfortunately. Do not waste your money on this one - see the real A.N.Redux instead. ... not to mention the STRANGE soundtrack (No - you will NOT love it)!

I had the privelige to see this awesome movie on a huge screen in 1997, it was shown at a festival as a tribute to the late David Warbeck.The opening sequence is truly stunning, a slow-burning scene in a brothel ends in huge explosions and sees Warbeck as an action hero in a white singlet years before Bruce Willis.John Steiner once again shows his prowess as his squad is picked-off, leaving only Warbeck and the larger-breasted of the Farrow species (Tisa), to escape tiger-cages and discover the identity of a traitorous broadcaster.Don't miss the final shot of Warbeck against the war-torn sunset, left to his fate in the jungle. It's a real kick in the guts, with the same power of seeing Martin Sheen rising from a swamp.The one problem the movie really has is that the identity of the mysterious traitor is quite ridiculous, but not enough to grind things to a halt.All in all, one to put at the top of your "must-get" list, right above beer, pizza and peanuts.
