DVD
Escape To Victory (World Cup Pack)from £8.80 Free Delivery |
This is no ordinary soccer match: this is war!
The battlefield: a stadium in occupied Paris. The armies: German all-stars vs. ragtag Allied POWs. The objective: demonstrate another "proof" of Aryan superiority. Guess who wins? Better yet, guess who cleverly uses the match as a means of escape?
Sylvester Stallone, Michael Caine and Max von Sydow star in this rouser directed by the legendary John Huston. The climatic match is a heart-in-the-throat, hat-in-the-air exhibition of brute force and balletic grace featuring soccer legends Pele, Bobby Moore, Osvaldo Ardiles, Co Prins, Mike Summerbee and more.
Score a splendid entertainment goal for 'Victory'!

My copy of this DVD did not come with the free england flag as advertised. The cover of the DVD says it is included (as shown in the picture) but it wasnt sent... Just a little something for you to be aware of.

Set within World War II, a group of Nazi officers construct a propaganda event in which an all star Nazi team will play a team composed of Allied Prisoners of War in a Football game.
An all-time classic film featuring the icons of both the field (i.e. Pele, Bobby Moore and Osvaldo Ardiles to name a few) & the silver screen (Michael Caine & Sylvester Stallone)
Definately a must-buy for any football fan, 10/10 (10*)
Stallone, Caine, Pele, Moore......What a cast!

This film is the best footy movie ever made. I would say the Great Escape with footy and just as good. The casting is superb and using legends of the game such as Pele really add appeal to the film, the only funny casting is Sly Stallone as a Goalkepper.
But nevertheless an awesome movie and fun and highly entertaining with a good climax. I would recommend you forget the "Goal" trilogy and buy this movie instead, the only reason you would buy "Goal" is Beckham. Escape to Victory is the best footy movie and always will be, buy it at this great price sit down watch it and be thourghly entertained like I was. A must in any DVD collection! Go on score a real goal and buy it!
