A great underrated classic! Thanks Kino.

Kino is killing it

In a perfect world, rights could be obtained for Wahl's best work, Wiseguy. The Soldier will sit nicely with my Taking of Beverly Hills, Wanderers and Treasure of Yankee Zephyr blus.

Date bump to March 27th, but for good reason!

I loved this flick. The ski-jump-shoot scene is enough for a buy in my opinion.

rockinrick · 08-04-2017, 04:26 AM

The Porsche over the Berlin Wall was a nice touch !

Somerset · 08-04-2017, 07:22 AM

It is definitely one of those movies that now, given the fact that Hollywood fakes everything with CGI, has become better with age because they did it all in camera, for real.

bruce holecheck · 11-14-2017, 08:37 PM

Currently slated for January 16th, though obviously subject to change.

The Soldier (1982)
• Audio Commentary by Film Historian Jim Hemphill
• Trailer Gallery

From writer/producer/director James Glickenhaus (The Exterminator, McBain, Shakedown) comes The Soldier – a powerful action-packed thriller of global intrigue and espionage. KGB agents posing as terrorists steal enough plutonium to destroy half of the world’s oil supply and threaten to do so unless the Israelis withdraw from the West Bank of Jordan. With the world on the brink of nuclear holocaust, The Soldier (Ken Wahl, The Taking of Beverly Hills, The Wanderers), who’s not part of the military, carries out his own unauthorized, illegal and highly dangerous plan to preserve the delicate balance of power. The Soldier is a relentless thrill ride loaded with some of cinema’s most unusual and dangerous stunts. Music composed and performed by Tangerine Dream (Miracle Mile). The top-notch cast includes Alberta Watson (TV’s La Femme Nikita), William Prince (The Gauntlet), Steve James (Avenging Force) and the great Klaus Kinski (Aguirre, the Wrath of God).

Does anyone know if this release is a blu-ray/dvd combo? It seems weird that bestbuy only has the dvd up for pre-order.

Worth seeing for the Stunt work imo.

Kingofkod · 03-17-2018, 07:49 PM

Is there anywhere to stream this movie legally? I was trying to take a look at it to see if I wanted to purchase the blu but it doesn't look like it's rentable anywhere as far as I can tell.

Precisely the reason streaming can NEVER replace physical media.
