Film.....The Day Of The Jackal...

I watched this film yesterday for about the third time, l love it!
It makes you wonder how the security services ever coped with the old dated equipment they used!
These days with so much surveillance equipment the Jackal would probably have been caught in a day!
I loved seeing the old actors from days gone by, in it!
Is it a film, you liked?

Re: Film.....The Day Of The Jackal...

Love that film!

Missed recording it on Thursday, did I miss it again yesterday??

Re: Film.....The Day Of The Jackal...

I presume it was the Edward Fox original and not the Bruce Willis remake?

Re: Film.....The Day Of The Jackal...

Loved it !

Re: Film.....The Day Of The Jackal...

ruthio, lt was Thursday that l recorded it from the TCM channel.

Re: Film.....The Day Of The Jackal...

Yes, Judd it was!
I didn’t know there was a re-make of the film. Was it any good?

Re: Film.....The Day Of The Jackal...

Muddy, The Jackal was very ruthless, even killing women!
He just hit his victim on the neck and they were dead.. instantly!

Re: Film.....The Day Of The Jackal...

Yes, the Edward Fox version (the original) is the one I like.

Not being nationalistic, but I find that British films are usually more believable than American equivalents.

The same goes for that 'plane crash in the desert where they 're-engineered' it and flew it to safety. Can't remember the name of the film right now!

Re: Film.....The Day Of The Jackal...

Can not remember the film but really enjoyed the book and have read it more then once

Re: Film.....The Day Of The Jackal...
