Captain Apache - Poster Gallery
The first one, upper left hand side, it the one that was in the snack bar of the drive-inn movie theater where I saw the film first run in 1971. It was the first LVC film as a star that debuted in my area at the drive-inn. Of course Beyond the Law & Commandos NEVER opened in my area. As far as I know, those two did not get a U. S. release but finally were seen in the US in the mid 1970's on TV. Later they came out of VHS.
ReplyDeleteI had to run my windshield wipers several times as there was a light rain on and off. But even though I thought the film was a bit hard to follow & some of the characters were too over the top to be believable, I really liked Lee. I liked his scenes with Carol Baker and the scene where Lee is drugged & is trying to hold on as he is loosing it due to the effects of the drug. Pretty darn good acting.
I have Captain Apache on DVD but it's a cheap "pan & scan" version which ruins a film to me.
