The Devil's 8

Not even Christopher George could keep me interested in this lame, boring Dirty Dozen (not enough budget for 12, so they had 8) movie. Slow moving with very little action, it's hard to believe John Milius wrote this terrible movie.

a guy in a blue Dodge,and guy out side the car training the guys with a hand grenade. He tells the guy in the car to go to the end,and drop it into the barrel. The guy complains,and the trainer guy "Pulls the pin",and says "Shut-up...you've got 10 seconds"! I remember them raiding the still. Was made in 1969 I thought the movie was older than that.There was a lot of good "Moonshine" movies that are now classics of the film noir "Thunder Road","The Roaring Twenties" with James Cagney,and Hunphry Bogart. I consider this movie a classic.Christopher George went on to do TV shows.Was a good actor. does anyone know if this is on DVD?

the feds are after moonshiners, who are very well organized, and recruit some good 'ol boys to fight fire with fire...lots of action, fair amount of humor, and some killing's to give it a dose of reality, keep this flick rolling along most satisfactorily. terrific cast, especially a sarcastic, mean spirited Ralph Meeker...likable Ross Hagen....charismatic Tom Nardini and very appealing Leslie Parrish.... believe it or not, this film has a wonderful soundtrack, including a very catchy theme, several songs that relate to the ongoing action and one that is sort of a spin off of thunder road, but is much better...i had the album on an LP (33rpm) and really enjoyed listening to it. This film seems to have disappeared...i haven't seen it anywhere in many years....

This is a film that is destined to have a cult following. That it is a ripoff of The Dirty Dozen will be obvious to one and all. Christopher George is a Treasury agent who breaks six convicts off a chain gang in the south as these are guys who know the territory and would blend right in. The object is to take down moonshine kingpin Ralph Meeker who has a wired in operation and has killed a few Feds. One of those he frees is Ross Hagen who knows Meeker well and has his own reason for wanting to nail him. Hagen's ex, Leslie Parrish has moved in with Meeker. The others are about as willing as Lee Marvin's crew was, but soon enough the idea of freedom appeals to them more than the chain gang. The Devil's 8 is certainly cheaply made with a cast of B list players. But it doesn't take itself seriously at all. And it does have one catchy musical score. This one will be rumbling around my head for days.
