MEN OF WAR (Perry Lang, 1994)

[Scorpio]

The Spanish audio, is it Castilian or Latin?

[bomaz]

My guess is that it is a castillan and not a catalan dubbing.

[Jox]

We checked with Scorpio and it's in Castillian Spanish.

Finally watched the Men of War MVD Rewind bluray. Still one of Dolph's best movies. Good cinematography, good story that takes it's time and good action. Also Dolph gives one of his best performances.
Thanks Jox, for your inside info on the bluray (Making of).

[Jox]

Thank you! I wish that it was longer, I did speak for an hour about the whole production during the interview, but it was decided to make it a more fast-paced featurette...

Watched Matewan by John Sayles yesterday, and one of the main antagonist was played by.... Kevin Tighe MoW really has a John Sayles-verse aspect to it. (and also discovered that Perry Lang acted in other Sayles movies)

[Jox]

Yes, quite a few of the MOW cast members were in several of Sayles' directorial films, he and Lang are old friends, and Sayles also acted in Lang's debt feature LITTLE VEGAS a few years before MOW...

Released 30 years ago in French cinemas!

It was playing in a decent amount of theaters especially around Paris and suburbs (30 screens, and 80 nationwide) but it bombed terribly... (at the time summer was a great period for the box office n France). I saw it twice on the big screen (although the second time was on a very small one).

My interview / featurette on the making of MEN OF WAR, originally made for the 2016 German Blu-ray, is now featured on the new US edition available tomorrow (and region-free).

I also provided a tape of rough footage that was sent to distributors who had licensed the film, and a gallery of stills and artwork, plus an intro from director Perry Lang.

Men of War (1994) MVD Blu-ray Review

the interview with Jérémie Damoiseau is incredibly informative

The main reason is the documentary An Unsafe Place: Making Men of War featuring an interview with Jérémie Damoiseau who provides some fascinating insights into how the film got made.

Jérémie Damoiseau’s knowledge of the film is second to none proving that he is the real action elite.

Is MOW on Netflix in the US or other territories?!

Not streaming anywhere currently in Australia, but it frequently comes and goes from Amazon Prime alongside Silent Trigger. They must get good replay value.

A bit off-topic, but John Sayles is coming back behind the camera with a western.
