Cobra Mission (Fabrizio De Angelis, 1986)

We've all been bored at a family wedding before, but it's unlikely that we've decided to leave early and head off to Vietnam to rescue some guys who got left behind, with nothing but some misplaced courage and a few guns that a French priest kept in his vestry. In this episode Wild, Wild Podcast goes back into the jungle to try and decipher Donald Pleasence's dodgy accent, whilst coming to terms with the fact that Adrian has never seen Rambo. This season is dedicated to that great quiet man of British cinema, Donald Pleasence, who spent a great deal of time in the 1980s in Italy (and the Philippines). We would love to hear from you about your favourite Donald Pleasence films from this period, or if you have ever been near an exploding helicopter.
