Snow mountains, castles, Mission Impossible, handsome iron-blooded heroes, blonde beauty, thrilling fights... "007" series and "Mission Impossible" series have it, and in some respects it is better than "007" The series and the "Mission Impossible" series are even more brilliant. Therefore, "Blood Stained Snow Mountain Fortress" is a better-looking "agent film" than "007" and cooler than "Mission Impossible".
Although "Blood Stained Snow Mountain Fort" is set in World War II, there is no lack of large-scale battles in the film, but it is essentially an "agent film", and "007" series, "Mission Impossible" series and other "agent films" "There are similarities in the same way.
The "007" series was born in 1962 ("Dr. 007"), six years earlier than "Blood Stained Snow Mountain Fort", but it should have no effect on "Blood Stained Snow Mountain Fort". Agent missions, suspense design, battle scenes, glamorous girls, etc., there are many similarities between the two, but the "007" series highlights "personal heroism", and "Blood Stained Snow Mountain Fort" is above this. Emphasizes the "power of teamwork."
The "core team" of "Blood Stained Snow Mountain Castle" is composed of three people, namely, British Major Smith (Richard Burton), American Lieutenant Shafer (Clint Eastwood), and the beauty agent Mary (Mary · Ur). There are also two auxiliary personnel, Mary's "cousin" and the fake General Garnaby. Although they have not many roles, they also played a key role in this operation.
In the "Mission Impossible" series, Agent Ethan (Tom Cruise) generally also has a "temporary team", but the final task is mainly based on Ethan's alone. Furthermore, the "Mission Impossible" series is entirely for Tom Cruise's personal "agent film". Tom Cruise is above everything else. The "personal heroism" on and off the screen is more than that of the "007" series. There is nothing worse than it is.
Therefore, in terms of the performance of "team spirit", "Blood Stained Snow Mountain Fort" is enough to get rid of the "007" series and the "Mission Impossible" series. Of course, Richard Burton, as a Hollywood superstar at the time, still has many highlights in the film. However, Clint Eastwood, who has risen due to the "Funster Trilogy", also grabbed a lot of limelight in the film. He seems to be inattentive but mature and prudent. Richard Burton formed a good contrast and complementarity.
Clint Eastwood won the appreciation of director Brian G. Hutton for his outstanding performance in "Blood Stained Snow Mountain Fort". Two years later, they collaborated on a war adventure that was also set in World War II. The film "Strategic Battle" (1970), and this time, Clint Eastwood "sit right" as the male number one. Conversely, Clint Eastwood is also a blessing to Brian G. Hutton. Two of his best directorial careers are in collaboration with Clint Eastwood.
From today’s perspective, the battle scene of "Blood Stained Snow Mountain Fort" is a bit distorted, but the thrilling and exciting effects it brings are no less than the "spectacles" created by the "007" series and "Mission Impossible" series. . Skydiving from the snowy mountain, sneaking into the Eagle Fort hidden on the top of the cable car, the "duel" with the German spies on the cable car, and the ending "Great Escape" are all wonderful.
And the suspense design in "Blood Stained Snow Mountain Fort" is still intact after half a century. The multiple designs of "You are in me, I am in you", the reversal and reversal in the conference hall (also the "trial room"), the appearance of the ultimate boss, etc., all make the audience "suspense addiction." ". The detailed design in the film is also very careful, all kinds of foreshadowing, "organs" everywhere, watch it again, you are likely to have a new "discovery".
The "007" series and the "Mission: Impossible" series are "secret films", and they are also scenic films, and each episode must have a new "selling point" for the whole world. "Blood-stained Snow Mountain Fort" also "does my part" at this point, showing the magnificent scenery of snow-capped mountains, but also further highlighting the risks and difficulties of "impossible missions".
The story of "Blood Stained Snow Mountain Castle" takes place in "Bavaria", Germany, but the actual location is Salzburg, Austria. Located in western Austria, Salzburg is the gateway to the Alps and also close to the German border. Most of the snow-capped mountain scenes in the film were shot in real scene, which is a big test for the film crew. The shooting location is far away from the town. When the weather is bad, the staff will have to spend five or six hours traveling back and forth between the town and the shooting location. The shooting location was located in a high mountain and it was extremely cold. The staff were working outdoors and keeping warm was a problem, and it was impossible to shoot for a long period of time. If it is not for a well-planned and efficient operation, the film is difficult to complete. Although the cast and crew inside and outside the film are not really "blood-stained" Snow Mountain Fort, they are undoubtedly a group of respectable film workers.
The Eagle Castle in the movie (the place where eagles can fly, or "Snow Mountain Castle") also exists, and it is called Hohenweierfen Castle. The castle was built more than 900 years ago on a 155-meter-high boulder. It is now an important cultural heritage and famous attraction in Austria.
The topography of Eagle Fort determines that it is an important military fortress, and of course it also increases the arduousness of the task of the "secret team". The cable car is indeed the main means of transportation to reach the Eagle Fort. The creator of "Blood Stained Snow Mountain Fort" also designed two wonderful classic "cable car shows" according to local conditions.

"Blood Stained Snow Mountain Fort" was once released in China as a "translated film" and won the 1990 Outstanding Translated Film Award from the Ministry of Culture. When the film was released in China, the title was "Spy in the Devil's Cave"-this somewhat "magic" translation, but it was a typhoon in Hong Kong. In an era when movie consumption was still relatively scarce, "The Spy in the Cavern" was a rare "Hollywood blockbuster", and it was hard to get a ticket back then.
