Hello...
I am looking for the full feature of THE WILD GEESE starring Richard Burton, Richard Harris and Roger Moore.
A non faded print would be preferred...
But in the end I just don't know if full features of this title exist?
Would be great to hear from You.
Regards
Oliver

Hi Oliver,

I know as well as you do that Derann released a skillfully edited 3x400ft edition - which I have in my collection - I'm not too sure if a full length bootleg copy was ever released - someone might know - it must be out there on 16mm as I have a copy of the sequel with Edward Fox and Scott Glenn on 16mm - no where near as good as the original - but it does have its moments.

Hi David,
thank You very much.
Yes, I know of the Derann release and of the (german) UFA release which is 4x400".
Both versions miss more than 1 hour (the feature is 134 minutes).
It's only a hope, that there is a complete colorful version somewhere out there...
But this is the wonderful side of being a collector...

Hi Oliver,

Im pretty certain I once saw a full length German print for sale so they do exist but must be very rare as i've never seen another.
