A war action film adapted from a best-selling novel by Richard. Burton and Clint. Starring Eastwood.
The story takes place during the Second World War. British officers led a commando to rescue American generals captured by the Germans.
Their destination was a dangerous castle on the Alps. Six team members wore German uniforms and crossed various levels. However, one of the team members suddenly died mysteriously, revealing that there was a rape in the team, so the captain planned a dangerous plan to save people. fierce.
Director Brian. G. Hutton is good at using the terrain and features of nature to arrange a series of explosion chase scenes, especially the life and death battle in the high-altitude cable car.
"Blood-stained Snow Mountain Fort Where Eagles Dare" is one of the masterpieces created in 1969 by director Brian G. Hutton, who is good at directing war films. In 1970, Brian G. Hutton once again met with Clint Yi Sturwood collaborated on another classic World War II movie "Kelly and His Heroes." "Blood Stained Snow Mountain Fort" was once screened in China under the title "Magic Cave". The dubbing work was done by Changchun Film Studio, directed by Xu Yan and Wang Rui, and the voice actors included Hu Lianhua and Liu Dahang. The film won the Outstanding Translation Award of the Ministry of Culture in 1990. As a "blockbuster" at the time, it was hard to get a vote. The 150-minute film is full of tension every minute, and there is no cold spot. The first half is dominated by wits, and suspense abounds. The screenwriter's ability to solve the game is really superb. The explosion scenes and close-to-hand combat in the latter half of the film changed the style of the film, from a spy movie to an action movie, which will surely make action movie fans hooked. Obviously, "Blood Stained Snow Mountain Castle" is one of the classic Hollywood action movies that are difficult to replicate. The top-level suspense setting plus the fierce action scenes, the startling step-by-step fighting of wits, the suffocating atmosphere rendering, the ups and downs of the setting, the hardcore performance of the character actor, from the beginning of the film, all the audience Nailed firmly to the seat. I can't feel the passage of more than 150 minutes at all, I just hope I can watch it for another minute! Director Brian G. Hutton is good at using the natural terrain and features of nature to arrange a series of explosion chase scenes. The beautiful Alpine scenery provides an excellent shooting scene for the film, especially the life and death struggle in the high-altitude cable car at the back of the film. , Let people be astounded. The British officer played by Richard Burton was the commando leader who attacked the seemingly impossible "Eagle Castle" to rescue the American general. The young Clint Eastwood is the only American in the assault team. As always, his calm and cool expression is Clint Eastwood’s signature. This film is also his in Leon. One of the films that returned to the United States after the success of "Italian Macaroni Western". The rivalry scenes of two famous tough guys are performed in the film with sparks. The cooperation between the two is full of strength and magic, which greatly enhances the fun of watching movies. Just imagine that changing one of them can't achieve such a wonderful chemical effect. The veteran cowboy Clint Eastwood is like a cowboy image of World War II in the film, the only thing missing is a cloak and a cowboy hat. What is even more amazing is that when the audience thinks the film is about to end, the biggest suspense of the whole film is still waiting for you. I couldn't help but praise the screenwriter's excellent storytelling skills again.

    Commander: You are both fluent in German. Full cast: English with British/American/German accents. It is an anti-German drama, mainly watching the heroic appearance of Mr. Dongmu in military uniform. ? Can be chopped for more than 30 minutes and drag the shed. The old man said that the script was terrible, "all exposition and complications", and asked to reduce the lines, so many of the lines belonged to Burton, and the action scenes belonged to him. He used to ask for less lines, but when he was old, he said more lines, even in boat scenes. The old man was originally unwilling to be the second time, until the film side asked for 800,000. ("The Good and the Bad" is 250,000 plus Ferrari) You know he was just a TV actor in America two years ago, and Burton is a well-known, five-time Oscar nominee. But the old man dared to open the conditions, and he was rude. Burton was not in good health. He used a boom to climb the cliff, and Dongmu really climbed by himself? No wonder Dongmu is only 5 years younger than Burton, but Burton is completely an uncle, Dongmu is a young American soldier.

    He praised the intelligence and bravery of the double agents of MI6 without hesitation, and indirectly deified the German mountain soldiers. Destroying roads, blasting bridges, and ropeways, Fenying Fort, are all things that can be done, and there is a fierce air battle at the end. Eastwood is obviously the biggest killer in the film, and the beauty also helps a lot. He is sharp and capable, and his shooting is as unequivocal as flirting with the Gestapo. The film is so good that it has no credibility.
