Several times, own it on two different blu-ray releases (too bad Friedkin couldn't resist himself and added a gunshot on the soundtrack at the end of the film). The shorter cut, titled Wages of fear, was worthless. Saw it once, decades ago.
shareStill haven't gotten around to it, but it's on my list. It seems to have gotten a massively undeserved bad rap back in its day.
shareCmon bro. Get there.😊
shareWell, so on your advice I did bump it up to first place.
Damn, what a ride.
I must say I think I was completely correct in my initial assessment; if nothing else − and there is plenty else here, make no mistake − its sheer visual beauty alone should have earned it a fairer shake from critics, let alone the fact of how impossibly difficult it must've been to make at all.
This is a shining example of why "they don't make 'em like that anymore" ever became a thing.
We are in complete agreement. Can you imagine the difficulty and cost of making this? only a Director at the top of his game and fully committed could pull this off. I mean how did they even capture those bridge crossings?
shareIt's one of those good movies that, for some reason, is never shown on cable.
I've come across many other semi- obscure 1970's movies all the time. This one I KNOW I would stop my channel surfing and watch, but it's been two decades since I've come across it. Why it's not shown, I don't know....
