Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaNot a single scene has been shot indoors.
- GoofsRifle used, appears to be a sporterized M-1 Garand, with scope mounted too far forward to be useful. Gun is continually cocked after each shot, but this rifle is semi-auto, and reloads itself after ejecting the empty cartridge. It holds eight rounds, but shoots at least a dozen times in a row, and is never reloaded throughout the entire film.

Featured review
The hunting party
Terrific experience here this movie which is a sort of mix-up between Don Medford's HUNTING PARTY and BEYOND THE REACH, released last year and starring Michael Douglas. But beware, BEYOND THE REACH is far far far lesser than this pure jewel from Mexico. Do not even dare to compare the two features, except for the basic script line, that's all. A brutal, powerful piece of work, folks. But I admit that I would have preferred a different ending, such as the one you had in HUNTING PARTY, back in 1970. THIS WAS AN ENDING.
But nevertheless, this movie is awesome. In the last fifteen minutes, I felt my heartbeat as a war drum.
Serious.
Go for it...
