Goofs:
Continuity: When Force 10 is taken to the "partisan" camp and the so-called "partisans" reveal themselves to be Chetniks (German allies), they turn their caps around to hide the communist red stars they were wearing as a disguise to reveal their Chetnik insignia, including the group who met Force 10 initially. However, none of those Chetniks had any insignia on the backs of their caps at the first rendezvous. moreQuotes:
Mallory: [inside the Partisans' cave Mallory wants to talk to Petrovitch alone to tell him he needs to kill Nikolai] May I talk to you personally, sir?Maj. Petrovitch: You are talking to me personally.
Mallory: No I mean alone.
Maj. Petrovitch: No. The People's army does not conduct military business in secret.

In the late 70's the war genre saw a revival and Harrison Ford starring in not one but two movies of the period, the romantic drama HANOVER STREET (1979) with Lesley-Anne Down and the more commercial FORCE 10 FROM NAVARONE (1978).
Over the years, the film has got some unfair press in my view and is regarded as sub-standard compared to the infinitely more successful GUNS OF NAVARONE. However, the chemistry of all concerned is just right for this film, which involves a group of soldiers trying to blow up a bridge in Yugoslavia and the search for a traitor from the original film's mission.
There are some good action sequences, and the dialogue exchanges between Ford, Edward Fox and the late Robert Shaw are passable. Carl Weathers (coming quick off ROCKY), racism issue aside, still seems out of place in the film, although he has one or two good moments. Barbara Bach and Richard Kiel, hot off THE SPY WHO LOVED ME, are stereotypes.
Ron Goodwin's score keeps the film moving.
