- Amiable Kiwi-UK-US-Oz film; let down by horrible soundtrack
This should have been a three-star movie. It has merits, chief of which is the use of the same stunning South Island (New Zealand) scenery that appeared in the Lord of the Rings films, but without the digital trickery.

There are a few authentically kiwi moments: the scene where the heroes tow a broken helicopter into an isolated farm, where the farmers turn it into something like a moon buggy using only number 8 wire and four-by-two draws on one of the classic New Zealand myths (kiwi engineering, mate); the mountain hut where people drop round spontaneously to drink and sing old songs is another, and completely true to life (no, seriously, it is); and the scene where the old codger is thrown out of the pub and tries to get back through the wall with a chain saw is adapted from ...

- Worth the wait, I guess
The master wasn't so hot; not much better than the crappy VHS copy I had. But it works, and no tracking worries.

The packaging is amateurish, with a misspelling or two and completely misleading cover art.

The disk menu is bare-bones with no extra features.

I wouldn't have wanted to pay much more for this, long wait or not, but I'm satisfied.

- Frenzied silliness in Fiordland
A deer hunter(Wahl)and his bumbling partner(Pleasance) by chance
stumble upon the wreckage of a DC-3 on the shore of Lake
Wakatipu. Included amongst its cargo are medals, booze, money and
$50 million in gold bullion. Before they can begin recovery,
others get wind of the discovery and show up to pressure them in
revealing the location. This is an action/chase, frankly silly,
film with most of its energy occurring in the numerous stunts,
chases and explosions. I'll bet that George Peppard does not put this one
on his resume. Great helicopter shots of Fiordland and the Queenstown
area are the main reasons for seeing this one. VHS copies are NOT widescreen.
The DVD has no extras, but it is presented in the original 2.35:1 Cinemascope ... Read More

The Europeans have some on vhs but, it is in some PAL format and will not play in US players as well! What the heck!!!! Does anyone out there know where we can get this movie ( Race for the Yankee Zephyr ( 1981 Ken Wahl, Donald Pleasance, etc. ) on dvd for USA dvd players! ) Vhs or even a burnt copy will ...
