Force 10 From Navarone (1978) was a long-after-the-fact sequel to the 1961 blockbuster The Guns of Navarone, and an attempt to resurrect the "Boys Own" war adventure genre for the modern-day Star Wars era.
Scoring Force 10 From Navarone was the man most identified with the British war genre: Ron Goodwin, who had excelled in similar films from the 1960s, such as 633 Squadron, Operation Crossbow, Where Eagles Dare and Submarine X-1 (all released by FSM).
This premiere release of the soundtrack to Force 10 From Navarone features the complete score in excellent sound quality as mastered from 1/4' stereo tapes in the late composer's personal collection.

The transfer quality leaves something to be desired, but this does include the longer European cut alongside the US one, as well as the theatrical trailer.

Generally underrated by critics, 1978's Force 10 from Navarone is a belated sequel to the famous 1961 World War II classic Guns of Navarone.
Force 10 from Navarone is an extremely competent and exciting WW2 thriller that has a good cast and some wonderfully inventive action scenes- the dam explosion at the end of the film is amazing and does not seem to have aged that much- that should be awarded a place in any war film collection.
Please do not regard this as a sequel to the brilliant Guns of Navarone, as it is billed, as it suffers in comparison to that film and inevitably comes out in a less than shining light.

Richard Kiel plays the Chetnick leader Capt. Drazak who dupes Force 10, leading them to the camp where they would fall into the hands of the Germans commanded by Maj. Schroeder (Michael Byrne).
Like "The Guns of Navarone" the sequel is action-packed from start to finish from the stealing of an R.A.F. Lancaster at Termoli Air Base in Italy to the destruction of a dam that washes away the targeted bridge with several million tons of water.
I say average because from the very start Navarone is woven into the story, and the continuity experts get the rank of Mallory wrong.

This is especially clear when Leskovar insists he must accompany the team to the dump as only he speaks German and, later, when the team is discussing Leskovar's encounter with the German Sergeant in the train car.
All of this ignores the fact that this film is a sequel to "The Guns of Navarone" in which Mallory is specifically chosen for the mission because he speaks "German like a German." Alistair MacLean's original stories also support this fact.

While it's not of course as great as The Guns of Navarone, I truly believe it has gotten a bad rap.

Shaw plays Mallory (yes the same character that Gregory Peck played in the original) and he and Fox's character (who was played by David Niven in the original) are sent into Yugoslavia to identify and kill a traitor from the first movie.
So, they hop a ride along with Force 10 (headed by Ford's character) who are headed to the same location with the mission of destroying a key, strategic bridge.
I remember seeing this movie as a kid before I saw the original "Guns of Navarone." I was flipping channels last night and saw that "Force 10" was on.

It seems that Force 10 has a mission of their own which Mallory and Miller know nothing about.
When their plane is shot and most of the team is killed, they mistakenly believe that some of the locals they meet are Partisans but in reality are German Allies, so they are taken prisoner, and have to convince the German commander that they are not spies or else they will be killed.

Granted it's nowhere near as good as The Guns of Navarone, nor is it a classic action film, but it's still a damned good action flick.
Bach's sole purpose is to prove that her name should be Barbara Front, since it's far more impressive in a bath tub scene!
Final Verdict: Force 10 From Navarone may lack the presence of Gregory Peck or Anthony Quinn from the original but the 3 lead characters are enjoyable enough (even if Ford is a little 'raw'), there's plenty of action and some decent twists and turns along the way.
