Factual errors: The terrorist Gideon Marunga carries an American made M16 assault rifle. Those wishing to "free" Rhodesia in the 1960s and 1970s carried AK 47's and would have had no access to American arms. moreFAQ

A complete pile of hooey! This is one of the most muddled movies you'll ever see. None of the plot makes any sense, characters come and go without rhyme nor reason (in fact Roundtree is killed at one point and then appears again a few scenes later - and he isn't playing Jesus!). The biggest disappointment is reserved for fans of La Collins - she makes a tiny cameo appearance moments before the end, for no good reason, then the film finishes. Audience breathes a sigh of relief.
