note; i spell bad but this moie did wiorse at the box oriface
sundown
this is my review on sundiow from 1941 (the year f dr let pearl harbor get nailed so he could attack germany to help his britmo buddies)
its directed by Henry Hathaway who did The Outlaws part of how the west was won and nothing i've actually seen else
it stars Bruce Cabot, george sanders, harry carey, Cedric Hardwicke and was the debut of Woody Strode from The Ten Commandments and The Quick and the Dead
I never saw this b4 but heard it got award nominations but the peole hated it
so after tital annd creditz we get text deticatiing this film to brave guys
then its soviet kenyaand a plane flys by a womann driving it, wait, shes just in it and they land and she gets out as it goes on
she meets soome africas and they go to manieka in a villagge where they sing like the wwho's in whoville
a gguy there wanttsmore funds to sstudy the natives and sendds a message to nairobi but theres cr-p going in there
the natives have this guy settle a dispute wiith a guy who wants to buy a chick as a wife but needs to work for the regent of soviet england
he lets it hhappen so the guy doont ice the geezer she was gonna marry and get strung up and uses his payy for it
later, chick is walking wiith the africas to maineke or w/e and planes fly overhead
then its ssun dow and the brits enjoy liquer and main guy (caboot) chats with a brit and its revealed hes from sooviet canada
tthen the planes land theere and sanders comes out with supplies and sez hes taking over as the gov wants him to
sanders is disgruntled that theres an italiwno there not caged up as he cooks for em and is a nice guy
sanders sez da rules say he should be chained up and not be alllowed to coook even though he wants to
so thiss is one off those movies where the brits are the bad guys right? like all those mel gibson things and super nanny?
sanders wnnts themm to take gguuns ffrom the tribe cabot wanted to study but cabot sez it'll be hard
then a dutchman comes in sayinghe found good minerals and as his funders, the italianoes, are gione, he wants to help the devient briitz and go home
they ggive him a letter from his homeland and he reveals he went around the tribes turf as thhey;;d have iced him
later, they are out and the tribes guys are trying to j fk em and the guy who wanted to marry the chick get capped getting them the gun
they get back tio base and check the gun and find its made in cechoslovakia
the italiano ccomes out and reveals he was a teacher in political historyn and they send him here and begs them to help as someones gonn take over da ocean as if africa falls, the ocans are controlled and can take over more of da urth with it
sanders asks hhim to waive his rights as a p o w and cook dinneer tonight
later a trader comes by and they accuse hhim of bringing guns to the tribe and that the law is anyone with a gun can be capped
and that the tribe will b0ne him dead a lot or something when thhey get f'd cuz of his guns
cabot sez the tribes are innocent and blames the white man for them using guns they were given
but, they chose to use the guns
if i gibve a guy a hammer and he goes around mashing guys heads, is it my fault?
who wrote this? tumbler?!
so tey have a servie for the capped guy and all the aricas thhere have hair that would fit a millennial(like big in the back but the front is shaved)
then they have the area tightened and no one is allowed to leave and they make the africas build a base
the white chick from the start, wait, i think the base they buold was elsewhere and she's somewhere else
wait, she's at the place with cabot and sez she's here to bring supplies for a store or something and has a caravan of goods but not guns to the tribe
italiano knows her from years ago and she remembers him and italiano tells britz she ownes this network of trading stores and stuff
they have a dinner to make her more comfy and find she's half mid eest and half french and the natives hate mixed people
so cabot talks to chick and sez he knew a guy (i think her dad) who anted to cultivate this place to a garden of Eden
btw this was produced by Walter Wanger (boomerang kuwanger from mega man X?) who did queen christina, the sheik and Algiers
so then natives have this custom where when siomeone bites it, they gotta have 1 of 6 white men get it too by sacrifice or something
but there's only 5 of em
until a white hunter coes by
is this where dragon ball super got the super saiyan god ritual?
so then its revealed that cabot is the one who's gonna ave someone bite it in his house (i f'd up the tradition a bit ago)
they got this eerie singing andits kinda haunting and cool and mystic
later, chick walks to cabots home and ntives open fire on her so the guards gatling gun them an cabot and friends chase em and are fired on
the spotlight shines on da trader and hes got a machine gun and he runs and they cap his a55 to h e double africa!
ater that, hunter sez chick guy capped and noneknew she was there and he had her wounds treated
cabbot goes to c her and she sez she ccame to warn him about trader and is doing ok
sanders tells her trading is over and shes to gtfo
hollad guy chats with chick and sez shes the last trader there as the trader w/ a gun got capped and dutchman wantsx to book it qwirh her
she tehen tells ialiano shes gonna use her caravan to get help for them
wait
she twlls him the dutchman is a bad guy and behind da guns andd is going with him to figger out his connectionss
then dutchman pulls a gun on italiano and it fades out
the britz finditaliano b0ned dead or w//ee anndfiind chik is out and so is holland and they think they are in it together
cabbot wants to go after her but sanders sez not to as he has orders annd 1 guy sez italiano wass 1 of the 6 white men to get it
later, chick is with dutchman and the tribe guys are firing machine guns and they go through a cave and he takes her through it toa base by water
at britmo base, tthey try a radio or something that''d f'd but can still recieve messages
then a plane goes by and lands and a high rank gguy comes out and sez they aint getting any extra aids and leaves
using the minerals dutchman had they figger oot where he was andhunter and cabbot go off and find armed navives from elsewhere and have loads of gns and ammo
they use a keg to set it uup andlight a fuse and book it and it blows and torches thee place wiith bullets going off
they make it to the lakke base and see a plaane is there and recognize chicks caravan gguys
dutchman tels chick he knows italiasno didnt have the message sent as he iced him and he knows cabbot is coming as he blew da guns
dutcho se he knows shes reallly pure french as he ddad bit it when she was 22 and wants to use her trading thing to take over
allso he took out her messengers
they have cabbot cagged wiith chick wgo se shes not workking with dutch andis working to stop him bbut hher guys all ggot capped
also the aattack is gonna happen tomnorrow and she knows how to use drums tto ssend a war call
he ffakes being hange in jail likethaat gguy the queen had iced for his island ofkids her prince b0ned and takes the gguards out when tthey go to b0ne his body
dutch uses dda radio to sez the attack will haopen tomorrow and then sees em out and fires like 20 shots w/o reloading from a luger at em and all miss
cabbot jumps outta da shadows like a ninja and k o'sdutch and when chick goes out she tells the men not to let the bad guys use her caravans
shhe gets the backhand butthe guys get cappped by chicks men
then ttheres a big battle ggun brawl and dutch chases sanders as his suide came annd they both ccap each other
sannders sez goode showe olde sporte and keeo your ggood christian ideals and sanders dad was a biship and wantted him to be in da church
he bites it annd then its soviet london and cabbot and chick are in a busted up church by sandders dad and gives a speech about englind needing to win
the end
that wasnt so bad
it had a good 40s story and was sorta like outpost in morocco a bit
despite being about the brits as the good guys formsome reason, its a well made film and has some good story to it
giood msuic and its in that good b/w and fullscreen the 40s had
good twists in it too you woon't see comming the 1st time
for Sundown 2 i want it to be about the war in africa has continued for another 200 years and things are a retro future look with neon and chrome. the tribal people have bee cyberized but keeo many of their old ways of watchcraft and rituals. It follows a new generattion of soldietrs born during the war and going on missions to stop the other side. Also its a 128 bit dreamcast, gamecube, ps2 and xxbox game where you go around in mech vehicles and do missions on either side of the war and which evver you do more missions for wins when you do enough for 1 or the other.
