The author | Hayashi Ono

When the film was released in March 1986, the author was in the elementary school entrance examination junior high school, sneaked out to see, in addition to shed a few tears for Raven, basically watched a hilarity.

When I grew up, I found that there were many stars, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, not only the four major actors, but also the rest of the cast and crew, which can be said to be the top british group.

This is still a classic behind-the-scenes series, today to talk to you about the various unknown fun behind-the-scenes footage of "Wild Goose Daredevil", and say something you don't know -

How much is the bounty that Sir Edward needs to pay today?

The biggest wrist in the film is him who appears for one minute;

Roger Moore joined the cast just to chase stars;

Richard Burton's wife was also involved in the filming, can you find out who she is?

Black soldier Jesse is blind in one eye, can you tell?

"Wild Goose Death Squad" prototype team members participated, guess which one?

Which of the four main actors in the film is still alive?

This iron-blooded theme was actually used by the producer to hold his daughter;

"BinXu" male number two planned to star but died suddenly before starting;

What is the current situation of Raven's younger son, Emile?

The novel's father, who worked as a diplomat in Qingdao, was captured by the Japanese army during World War II to exchange prisoners of war;

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="18" > How much is the bounty that Sir Edward needs to pay today? </h1>

Sir Edward's assistant Thomas Boff

Sir Edward's assistant Thomas was taken aback when he saw the colonel's proposed contract—

“...... Colonel Faulkner was paid £100,000, Raven £50,000, the rest of the officers were each paid £30,000, the sergeant major was 20,000 pounds each, the soldier was 10,000 per soldier, and if he failed, the honorarium had to be paid in half. You're crazy, asking for such a high price?! ”

Carefully calculated, this wild goose operation, all members of the honorarium, weapons expenditure combined a total of 720,000 pounds. As an assistant to a well-known banker, Thomas had also eaten and seen, why was he so stunned?

It's easy to understand if you figure out the background of the story.

Although the film was released in 1978, the story is set in 1968. £720,000 in 1968 was truly terrifying, almost equivalent to $16 million today! Approximately equal to 104 million RMB!

The total investment of this film is only 10 million US dollars.

It is also easy to understand why Sir Edward later paid the bills, although his old treacherous giant knew that reneging on his word was risky and that he needed to be cautious.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="18" > mafia Martin, who appears for one minute, is the biggest wrist in the film</h1>

How luxurious is the lineup of "Wild Goose Death Squad", even the dragon set is the grandfather of the performance world.

There is a plot in the film, when the jealous And Vengeful Sean kills Sonny in a fit of rage and breaks into a catastrophe, Sonny's mafia uncle Martin lays a net in London and vows to kill Sean.

Sonny's actor David Ladd was also a famous child star

In order to fish out Sean and serve himself, Sir Edward had to negotiate with Martin himself and threaten and induce him.

The actor, who only appeared for a minute, is called Jeff Corey, and the performer may not know "Wild Goose Death Squad", but he will definitely know Jeff Corey, because he is the pioneer of improvisational performances and the top acting teacher in the United States.

Jeff Corey (August 10, 1914 – August 16, 2002)

His students include James Dean, Barbara Streisand, Jane Fonda, Peter Fonda, Robin Williams, Jack Nicholson, Anthony Perkins, and many more.

Jeff Corey had a role in the third episode of Garrison's Death Squad, "The Orphan Hunt," in which he was the inspector who chased after the boss and complained to him about how the four unlucky guys had disobeyed.

"Garrison's Death Squad" Episode 3 "Orphan Hunting"

The big guy might wonder how a heavyweight acting teacher could play such a small role without even a name.

In the late 1940s, Jeff Corey was persecuted by McCarthyism and did not act for twelve consecutive years.

In 1960, Kirk Douglas, the creator of "Spartacus", resolutely fished him out and hired him out of the mountains.

Because Kirk Douglas was also his student.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="18" > Roger Moore joined the crew just to chase stars, and Sir Edward was his childhood idol</h1>

Banker Sir Edward (played by Stewart Granger 1913–1993)

The famous banker Sir Edward is the movie villain I most want to smoke to death, but I have to admit that he is also the most pompous and temperamental villain I have ever met.

Stewart was 65 years old when he starred in "Wild Goose Daredevil", but he still had a straight waist and was personable.

Stuart Granger was a veteran British star who contributed the most box office to the UK in the 1940s, and was invited by Hollywood.

In addition, he also has a well-known identity - the husband of Jane Simmons, the heroine of the 1948 version of "The Prince's Revenge".

21st Academy Awards Best Picture The Prince's Revenge (1948)

Incidentally, Lawrence Oliver, the male star of "The Prince's Revenge", also starred in "Wild Goose Daredevil 2".

Footsteps in the Fog (1955) by Stewart and his wife Jane Simon

When Stewart arrived in Hollywood, the resources were quite good, and the opponents were all top actresses, including the familiar Vivien Leigh, Rita Hayworth, Elizabeth Taylor, Deborah Chloe, Elinor Parker and so on.

Stewart is an amorous by nature, and once had an extramarital affair with Deborah Chloe, which led to the breakdown of his marriage with Jane Simmons.

However, Stewart, who spent all day in the kaleidoscope, was not a small white face who ate, drank and slept in the willows, and he was also on the battlefield during World War II, but he was discharged early because of a serious stomach ulcer.

When he was young, his play path was mainly the seed of the wind + England Zorro, and unlike Alain Delon, he never used a stand-in for acting, and he was very heroic.

Roger Moore watched a movie by Stewart as a child and regarded him as his idol.

Beauty like a jade sword like a rainbow, Scaramouche (1953)

Filmed in 1953, Director George Sidney is the director of Izumi Hibiscus, starring Stuart Granger, Mel Feller (Audrey Hepburn's husband), Elinor Parker (Baroness of the Sound of Music), Janet Leigh (Heroine of The Horrors), and many more.

The main reason why Roger Moore joined the crew of "Wild Goose Daredevil" and ran to South Africa to roll in the knife was mainly to play on the same stage with the big hero of Stewart, but he had a childhood wish.

However, in the end of the script, Roger Moore did not play against the idol.

Even in the last game, when Colonel Faulkner fired a shot at Sir Edward, Shaun could only wait quietly in the car outside the door, which made Roger Moore very angry.

Need to ask smoothly? Oh no!

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="18" > Richard Burton's new wife also participated in the show</h1>

At the 22nd minute of the film, Faulkner and Raven are looking around London for Sean, who is being hunted down by gangsters, so they come to the Barent's nightclub, where Colonel Faulkner exchanges £200 chips at the front desk, and incidentally pokes the waitress on the side.

The waitress dressed as Cleopatra with a "Bloody Mary" in her hand was a joke the producers made with Richard Burton because it was his new wife, Susan Hunter.

Susan Hunt, a British supermodel in the 1970s, was born on October 26, 1942

On July 29, 1976, Richard Burton ended his second marriage to Elizabeth Taylor, and on August 21, a month later, he married the wife of the supermodel who was seventeen years younger.

Presumably his nemesis, Richard Harris, married a supermodel girl (the little girl who sang in Cassandra Bridge), and Burton did the same and married a supermodel.

Richard Harris with wife Ann Toker

It was a magical marriage in which both of them slipped away from their ex and then flashed off. Some people speculate that this is Burton's negative move, how can he be dead to Elizabeth?

The brothers both came with their wives

Sure enough, while in South Africa, he drank heavily and drank a "Tarbe" beer, and the producer had to airlift two thousand cans from the British mainland.

Every time he got drunk he started muttering, "How nice it would be if Elizabeth called me now, I'd leave this damn crew and the horrible heat right away and charter a plane to go anywhere she was, how much I love her." ”

Hey, it's a crazid too!

I wonder how his new wife, Susan, would feel when she heard this?

At the beginning of the film, Colonel Faulkner comes up and pours himself two large glasses of whiskey without soda, and complains to Sir Edward, "If I die, you will have to hold a funeral for my liver." ”

This line is really unlucky. A few years later, Richard Burton actually died on it. In April 1981, he had serious problems with both his liver and kidneys, and doctors finally found out the cause of Richard Burton's back pain—his entire spine was covered with a thin layer of alcohol crystals.

No wonder he walks on the flat ground with Limbani on his back in the film, overwhelmed and with a painful expression.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="18" > Jesse, a black man, is blind in one eye</h1>

Black Soldier Blake Jesse (John Carney John Kani)

The black kid, who came up for an interview and paid £20 in advance, felt rustic and cute, and was impressive at the time.

But little did we know that Jesse's character, John Carney, had just been released from death row in South Africa.

It starts with a Broadway play.

In real life, John Carney and Lympon West are close friends and closest colleagues. Both were born in South Africa.

The two starred together in the American drama Sizwe Bansi Is Dead in 1974, to the effect that two South Africans accidentally lost their passbooks, and in those particular times, a black person who lost his passbook meant something you simply could not imagine.

"Sidzwei Bansi is Dead" has three main creators, and in the middle is the choreographer Athol Fugard

After the success of the TV series, the two adapted the script into a stage play, toured the world, and toured to South Africa with a gesture of honor.

Yet they were naïve.

One night, after the show, John Carney was interrogated and beaten by South African police on his way back to the hotel, and was inexplicably sentenced to death and put on death row.

After many rescues, John Carney was released, but his left eye lost sight forever.

In 1975, the pair of bitter brothers were awarded the Tony Award.

At first, neither of them wanted to join the crew of "Wild Goose Daredevil" and did not want to return to the sad place again, but in the film, The warm and touching dialogue between Lin Benny and Lieutenant Colonel Peter Kuz from confrontation to final mutual understanding touched them, and finally the two agreed to star.

The duo did not use their awards to take advantage of their young age to seek gold, and spent the rest of their lives working together to perform "Sidsway Bansi Dead", advocating racial equality, until the death of "Limbany" Winston West in his hometown of South Africa in 2018.

The lone john carney had to reluctantly go to commercial movies, and when you see this one-eyed figure on the screen, don't really laugh, his left eye is really blind.

Murder Mystery (2019)

Eighty-year-old John Carney is still active on screen, having recently starred in Black Panther T'Chaka, with his son Atandwa Kani playing the younger T'Chaka.

This son is also very contentious, not only graduated from the famous Royal Academy of Drama, becoming a new star on the London drama stage, but also very filial to his father, basically following wherever he goes, he said - "I have the responsibility to protect him!" ”

John Carney's life can also be regarded as a bitter end.

The two children shared the stage to receive the award, and Atandeva Carney and John Carney won the Awards for Best Actor and Best Director/Producer for "SIZWE BANZI" respectively

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="18" > Colonel Faulkner prototype became the film's consultant, and the subordinate soldiers starred in real life</h1>

Just as Seawolf brought Lord Mountbatten as a consultant, Wild Goose Daredevil also brought Inronale Faulkner's prototype Mad Max as an advisor (both films are a director).

Notice the Opening Column &amp; Technical Adviser , Col. MIKE HOARE

"The Film's Military Technical Advisor – Colonel Mike Hall".

This man is the prototype of Colonel Alan Faulkner.

"Mad Mike" is similar to Dai Kasa, rarely publishes his own photos, and the author has worked hard to find his human figure.

The legendary "Mad Mike" Mad Mike Hoare (1920?) -October 4, 2020)

The reason why "Mad Max" is willing to appreciate his face and promise to show his face, not to show his face, is mainly out of buddy spirit, because this "Donaldson the Plumber" was once one of his tiger generals-

Donaldson played by Ian Yule (1933?) -December 3, 2020)

Donaldson's character Ian Yule himself is a mercenary who entered the film world as a stuntman in the war film The Longest Day (1962), attracting the attention of various producers for his proficiency in weapons and tactics.

Unlike the male stars in other war films, Ian Jur himself was a member of the British Paratroopers and Special Aviation Corps (SAS), and the beret with the "SAS" badge worn by Donaldson in the film was not given by his aunt in combing clothes, but by his own.

After the film, Ian Jure admired Richard Burton. In the second half of the boarding escape scene, an actor is almost cut off by an airplane propeller, and Ian is about to shout to remind him that Burton has jumped and thrown him down.

Ian exclaimed, "That's a beautiful rugby punch!" ”

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="18" > which of the four main actors in the film is still alive? </h1>

Now the two of them went down to drink together

Roger Moore spent his fiftieth birthday on the crew, yet he and Richard Harris still played like children.

Later in the film, the filming location is a resort called "Forever" in South Africa, and these big stars with fine skin and tender flesh have to camp in the wild African wilderness where mosquitoes, snakes and rats are rampant.

Once Harris secretly put a rubber snake into Roger Moore's bed, and when Roger Moore found out, he decided not to be quiet, and when Harris was about to forget about it, he secretly put the snake back into Harris's bed. Late at night, as soon as Harris lifted the quilt and let out a mad scream, the entire camp was awakened.

These three good guys play by themselves, without another person – Hardy Kruger.

Far left: Hardy Kruger

Burton and Hardy are a pair of film rivals, as early as 1973, they went to Yugoslavia to shoot "The Battle of Sudeska" and began to look at each other unfavorably, and this time they ran to a crew with a narrow road.

Hardy Krueger was busy with two things in his life: one was making movies, and the other was cursing Hitler.

With his arrogant character, Burton was not taken seriously at all.

Hardy Kruger was born on April 12, 1928 in Berlin, Germany

Hardy Kruger was born in 1928 in Berlin, Germany, because of his handsome appearance, he entered the film world at the age of 15, belonging to the well-known small fresh meat in Germany in World War II, and the roles he played were very "mainstream", such as "The Eagle" in which Hu You's teenagers participated in the war.

Hardy Kruger starred in the movie "The Young Eagle" when he was 15 years old.

At the end of World War II, Hardy Kruger was forcibly conscripted into the army, and his acting dreams were shattered.

The beautiful vision of his youth was in vain, replaced by the purgatory-like scene of the European battlefield in front of him.

He had to rethink the meaning of the war.

On one occasion, he was ordered to wipe out an American army, but Hardy Kruger refused to obey the order and was sentenced to death. Fortunately, his life was great, and the Second World War was over before he could execute.

After the war, Hardy returned to film and made some German films, but they were very popular with American female audiences. They praised him as a "robust lover" and a "beautiful German", which attracted the attention of Hollywood producers, and they extended an olive branch to him.

When he starred in "Wild Goose Daredevil," Hardy had just come down from another crew, "The Distant Bridge."

A Bridge Too Far (1977)

In that film, Hadi played Maj. Gen. Ludwig, who was impressive, and viewers have been speculating that the prototype for the role is most likely Hamel, commander of the SS 10th Panzer Division.

The more classic scene is when Ludwig rushes to report to Modell with the captured Allied map, suggesting that the Red Mage be surrounded, and Modell responds: "It's time to go to dinner." ”

This line has always been talked about by military fans.

The former Nazi "young eagle" not only made a bunch of anti-war movies, but at the age of 93, he was still making movies, cursing Hitler, and touring the speeches.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="18" > this monk play full of iron-blooded men was actually used by the producer to hold his daughter</h1>

At the beginning of the film, Colonel Faulkner and Raven look around for Sean, shouting "Where is Miss Heather, we're looking for Miss Heather..." stumbling off ballonlit nightclub.

The stacked girl in the purple uniform needless to say must be Miss Heather.

Heather is played by Rosalind Lloyd, born on March 25, 1953

Because she is not only beautiful, but also exudes a big heroine smell from head to toe.

To be honest, this girl is too quiet, without a trace of the old mud girl's dusty atmosphere, not much like a nightclub, but like a kindergarten teacher, or a rich lady who is well-bred.

It is simply a clear stream of the world gambling world.

The jumping drama is the jumping drama, but it is also for her sake that she refuses to betray Sean when she dies.

Played by Rosalind Lloyd, who is 25 years old this year, is the film's big boss and producer Ewing Lloyd's gold!

Ewing Lloyd is also a producer for Seawolf.

Wild Goose Death Squad Producer Euan Lloyd (December 6, 1923 – July 2, 2016)

Father and daughter are still quite similar

Rosalind's mother, the lady of the film, also played a role in "Wild Goose Death Squad" -

Mrs. Sandy is played by Jane Hylton

Jane Haydon is also a veteran British star, but unfortunately" died of a heart attack a year after the release of "Wild Goose".

I don't know if you see the white coat face on the far left of the picture?

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="18" > this "aunt" is good but controversial</h1>

Kenneth Griffith (October 12, 1921 – June 25, 2006)

As a child, I never understood one thing, why the hygienic soldier Vigie said, "My wife is a man."

I didn't understand the meaning of his interesting line—"Colonel Faulkner, cleaning up gallstones in the hospital made my heart harden, and my muscles softened, and I wanted to turn it upside down." ”

When I grew up, I revisited "Wild Goose Daredevil" again and found that the two actors I liked the most.

One is Lin Banni, who has compassion in his eyes; the second is this Vigie, who has really good acting skills and high spontaneity, always re-creates from the height of the choreographer, and he will add drama to himself and secretly enrich this role.

Especially when he saw Vigie shouting "Aunt hurt you" in his mouth, he resolutely went to his death, and finally was cut to the flesh by a group of black people, which was called pitiful.

It's the most manly rabbit in the world.

The "aunt" that was set earlier was not him, but the bigger "Bin Hun" male number two Steven Boyd, a textbook Roman, a word, handsome!

Stephen Boyd (July 4, 1931 – June 2, 1977)

Unfortunately, a few months before the film started, Stephen Boyd died of a heart attack while playing golf, at the age of 45!

The Wild Goose Daredevil series is really unlucky, and a week before the sequel began filming, Richard Burton died of a cerebral hemorrhage.

It was originally scheduled that "aunt" would die, so the producer called his old friend Griffith, who replied cautiously: "Some of my closest friends are gay." ”

After the film was released, it caused some gay people to protest, who thought that Griffith's appearance was too old-fashioned, and he actually wore a suit for the first time, which did not match their temperament against the wind.

Shallow ah~

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="18" > Sergeant Major himself is a Royal Navy instructor</h1>

Jack Watson (May 14, 1915 – July 4, 1999)

Actor Jack Watson initially rejected the role because he was 62 years old at the time.

And the producer thinks that his temperament is unique, the best candidate for the sergeant major, and finally urges him to come out of the mountain!

The British media introduced him this way – "Tall, vulgar, red-haired actor, wrinkled and hunched over faces show that he lived a life of poverty in his early years." ”

Jack Watson formed a father-son relationship with his comedian dad as a child, selling art to make a living.

When a nightclub owner asked him what his father's stage name was, the old man squinted at the "No Smoking" on the escape passage door, and with a stroke of genius, he replied solemnly: "My name is Nosmo King!" ”

He amused the other, so he gave the two grandfathers a job.

The children of poor families probably have no connection with Oxbridge and can only change their fate by joining the army.

After Jack Watson joined the Navy, his life began, first of all, his strong physique was very eye-catching, and he was soon promoted to a Royal Navy instructor. Then his boss discovered his extraordinary talent— his excellent language skills.

Jack Watson was able to speak all the english dialects, thanks to his early skills in running around the docks with his father. Soon Jack Watson's voice reappeared on the Navy Radio variety show, and after World War II he parachuted directly into the BBC radio, appearing in comedies and various children's radio dramas.

Many Britons born in the fifties grew up listening to his shows.

Film with Richard Harris in The Athletic Career (1963)

Like sandy, the stubborn chief sergeant in the movie, Jack Watson, the Taurus himself, is also very stubborn, refusing any invitation from Hollywood, which he believes has nothing to do with pure art, and he can't look at it!

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="18" > What is the current situation of Raven's youngest son, Emir? </h1>

As soon as the little Emir appeared, he complained that his father's dinner was "OK" and "lobster was cold", and then rushed to a pile of half-installed car models, which was obviously a new gift for him.

This prop is very careful, this model is very expensive, the kit is a Mercedes-Benz 1906 sports car made in Japan Bandai.

This scene conveys two messages: first, Raven is extremely fond of his son; second, Raven's financial conditions are really good, and later he mentioned in a dialogue with the colonel that he can earn fifteen thousand pounds a year as an oil painting agent, which is indeed not exaggerated.

In "Wild Goose Death Squad", raven and his son Emile's touching father-son relationship is also a story line that adds points to the film, and the aftertaste is still sad.

Emil played paul Spurrier (born in 1967) is a famous British child star in the seventies. In the early 1980s, in the CCTV version of Anna Karenina (filmed in 1977), Anna's eldest son, Xie Liaosha, was played by him.

Paul grew up to be a brilliant photographer and is still active in the British film industry.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="18" > the author of the original novel "Wild Goose Death Squad", and his father is the British ambassador to Qingdao</h1>

The original novel was called "Thin White Lines", and although it was an anti-apartheid theme, the author, Daniel Carney, was himself a South African police officer.

The Carney family had a difficult family fortune, his father had seventeen children, so poor that pants needed to be worn in turns, but his father was admitted to Oxford University through hard study, became a successful diplomat after graduation, and was stationed in Qingdao, China.

His two twin sisters were born in Qingdao in 1939, and if there is no accident, Daniel should have been born and raised in Sichuan, but the Japanese invasion of China shattered the family's peace and happiness.

His parents and his two sisters fled to Shanghai, but were treated rudely by the Japanese gendarmes, and finally the diplomat couple was arrested as hostages in exchange for prisoners of war.

The Carneys escaped death, and Daniel's mother fled from China to Lebanon while she was pregnant with him. Daniel Carney was born in Beirut on August 8, 1944.

In 1963, at the age of 24, Daniel settled in South Africa and joined the British South African Police Service (BSAP).

Daniel's sister is also a writer, more famous and unluckier than her father. She is the world-famous feminist Erin Paige, known for building women's shelters all over the world.

The shelter was designed to take in homeless women who had suffered domestic violence, but Erin found in her work practice that some of these women were active domestic abusers, that is, women who had beaten their husbands and had not beaten the defeated. When she made this discovery public, she was fiercely protested by some feminists, and she became a street rat and everyone shouted and beaten, and had to hide in anonymity for the rest of her life.

This also bothered his younger brother Daniel to some extent.

Daniel didn't post a few photos of himself until his death from cancer in 1987. Although his novels have always sold well, they are constantly being adapted into film and television dramas.

Wild Goose Daredevil is Daniel Carney's masterpiece, and some of the plots in the book are derived from what he saw and heard in South Africa, as well as from the legendary experiences of his father. Especially in Lin Benny, there is the shadow of his father.

It was a nightmare that an old man who had been brutally persecuted by the Japanese army had chewed repeatedly for the rest of his life, and Daniel recorded those unbearable pasts, he wanted to make the world a better place, hoping that the nightmare would wake up in the morning.
