Another 'elite' dozen
17 November 2020
With the death of Lee Marvin, Telly sabalas who played the psychotic Magid in the original film takes command of another elite fighting dozen from the military stockades.

The mission is to rescue some French scientists who are working on a poison gas project in occupied France which I assume is the southwest portion of the country which was occupied until V-E Day. Savalas gets a bit more on his plate hen wives and kids are added to his mission.

This all takes place in a monastery taken over by the Nazis which made the mission look a whole lot like the one in the original film involving a French chateau as the scene of the action.

And things come full circle for Savalas having been a psychotic in the first film, he gets a psychotic in Bo Svenson in this film to deal with.

None of the men really standout as characters like the first film. But I kind of liked Paul Picerni as a free and easy black marketeer in the stockade for such activities.

None of the pizazz of the original, but a good action flick.
