Commando Leopard (1985)

A quasi-mythical leader and his band of  revolutionary mercenaries are up against a dictatorial regime of an unidentified Latin American state and its bloodthirsty militia, fronted by an evil old man (Klaus Kinski).  

The story also involves a heroic priest of a war-torn village who stands up to the militia leader and earns the respect and help of the mercenaries. 

This ambitious exploitation action film was the most expensive Swiss-budgeted production up to that time and Antonio Margheriti directs with enthusiasm and style.  It features giant explosions blowing up a dam, a stationary plane, and a moving train as well as a subtle score by Ennio Morricone.
