Killer Force [ aka The Diamond Mercenaries ] ( 1976 ) Kino Lorber/Scorpion Releasing collaboration

Synopsis :

In this edge-of-the-seat action thriller, Telly Savalas (TV’s Kojak) plays Harry Webb a ruthless security mastermind for an international diamond syndicate trying to stop the disappearance of millions of dollars worth of gems from a South African mine. Peter Fonda (92 in the Shade) is Webb’s deputy, Mike Bradley, who has begun to realize how bloodthirsty his boss really is. With his girlfriend, Clare (Maud Adams, Octopussy), Bradley joins up with some ex-mercenaries, Major Chilton (Christopher Lee, The Oblong Box), John Lewis (Hugh O’Brian, Ambush Bay) and ‘Bopper’ Alexander (O.J. Simpson, Firepower) to plan a million-to-one-odds diamond heist. But Webb is keeping heavy surveillance on all happenings and nothing will stop him from destroying everyone involved. Top-notch direction by the great Val Guest (The Quatermass Xperiment, The Day the Earth Caught Fire).

I got my copy from Diabolik today. It's better than I expected. You can never go wrong with Telly and Fonda in a 70's action flick. The PQ is a typical 70's transfer. Nothing demo, but grain is resolved fairly well. Definitely the best it has looked.

I think I'll preview this on TCM HD tonight to see if I like it well enough to purchase.

The extra was supposed to include an alternate ending. It's not there?

there is an alternate ending, that complete changes the tone of the film when the audiences leaves the theater.

RadicalThrasher · 05-21-2016, 06:23 PM

Just finished watching this. Very entertaining heist/action flick. Great ensemble cast. Telly Savalas was ruthless, slick, and cool. Maud Adams was smoking hot too!

I blind bought Shadows in an Empty Room and watched it recently too. Thought it was great. Hope this Kino/Scorpion Releasing collaboration keeps working out, they're bringing us some awesome movies.

Wow! Complete 180. Kind of more suiting for Telly Savalas though.

I can't stop laughing after watching the alternate ending. Hilarious.

Currently enjoying this flick. What a blast it's turned out to be! Great transfer as well. Can't wait to watch Blazing Magnum.

Agree, an absolute blast! Loved every minute of it, kind of hard not to with the great cast. I think you're in for a real treat with Blazing Magnum ( Shadows in an Empty Room ). As much as loved Killer Force I was completely blown away by Shadows in an Empty Room.

Perdón por escribirlo en el hilo de la edición americana pero la edición española no aparece en la base de datos... ¿Alguien podría decirme, por favor, si el Blu-ray de "Los mercenarios de los diamantes" es BD-R o se trata de un disco prensado?. Muchas gracias.

Un disco prensado. (edicion de Scorpion)

nastyyouth · 09-20-2019, 05:38 PM

La edición americana que comentas no tiene ningún Tipo de subtítulos, ¿verdad?
