Made by the Australian film industry it is one of two films about the Australian Special Task Force Z during the Second World W*r. It shows that the war in the Pacific was not won solely by the Americans and that the Japanese occupation of China was brutal to anyone who would oppose them. Having seen photos of what the Japanese did to Chinese relatives of mine and to the population of China in general this film goes someway to highlight a rather forgotten piece of history. Having said that, taking the film as an action/ w*r drama it is well paced and fairly realistic with but one feat of fantasy. As cinematic trivia it is noteworthy for the performances of Mel Gibson, Sam Neill and singer/actress Sylvia Chang pre-stardom. The star that never was, John Phillip Law takes centre stage for the most part but is beaten for intensity by Gibson as the young officer. The effects are a bit ropey, the blood has the red paint quality of w*r films of the late 60’s - early 70’s, but this adds to the charm. If you like “men on a mission“ films you should enjoy this.“ - written by “Jonny Frost“ on Also Known As (AKA): (original title) Attack Force Z Argentina El último mercenario Australia (working title) The Z Men Australia (informal title) Z Force Australia Attack Force Z Austria Die grünen Teufel vom Mekong Belgium (English title) (video box title) Attack Force Z Brazil Força de Ataque Z Bulgaria (Bulgarian title) Атакуваща бойна единица Z Bulgaria (Bulgarian title) (TV title) Фактор Z Canada (French title) Force de frappe Denmark Junglekrigens hårde halse Finland Operaatio henkiinjäänyt Finland Iskujoukko Z Finland (video box title) Z-Partio France Force de frappe Germany (DVD box title) Soldier - Die durch die Hölle gehen Greece Ομάδα κρούσεως Ζ Hungary A Z rohamosztag Italy Z-Men Norway Angrepsstyrke Z Poland Atak jednostki Z Portugal Os Comandos da Força Z Serbia Specijalna jedinica Z Soviet Union (Russian title) Штурмовой отряд Z Spain (DVD title) Z-Men Spain Ataque Fuerza Z Spain (alternative title) Grupo de ataque Z Spain (alternative title) Z - Men: Delta Mission - Comando Diablo Verde Spain (TV title) Comando Z Sweden Attack styrka Z Sweden (TV title) Uppdrag Z Taiwan Z字特攻隊 Turkey (Turkish title) Son baskın UK Attack Force Z USA Attack Force Z West Germany Die grünen Teufel vom Mekong ···················································································· FOLLOW US! ✘ Instagram - ✘ Twitter - SUPPORT US! ✘ Membership - MORE MOVIES! ► Action: ► Classic Movies: ► Horror: ► Western: ► All Playlists: #freemovies #movies #englishmovies ···················································································· COPYRIGHT: All of the films published by us are legally licensed.
