other title: 大风暴 / 战斗雄师 …
1922年的爱琴海上,美国人亚当·戴尔和父亲在航行过程中遭到当地部队的洗劫。全船人都死于非命,唯有亚当·戴尔侥幸逃脱,并被常在海上打劫的流氓乔什·科利所救。但是打劫一向是乔什的行当,对于亚当并没有抱什么善心,不仅抢走了他身上的所有黄金,还要谋财害命。 机智的亚当将计就计把乔什扔下船,独自回到了希腊岛。但是经过这次小插曲,亚当和乔什不打不相识,成为了要好的朋友。自从父亲死后,亚当在世上已无牵无挂,于是同意和乔什一起在希腊闯荡。 适逢战乱,土耳其军需要大量雇佣军,拥有先进武器和士兵的乔什想要趁乱世发一笔战争财。于是怂恿亚当一起和他领导雇佣军帮土耳其军做事,亚当生性喜爱冒险,二人一拍即和,迅速组织好了一支强大的雇佣军队伍。但是接手的第一项任务并不是打仗,而是帮助对方护送一批货物,并由土耳其军队的一名上校跟随队伍。被运送的货物小而沉,亚当和乔什都心知肚明,里面放的一定是黄金之类贵重的东西。但是几经调查,才发现事情并不像想象中的那样简单。 土耳其方面除了安排部队一起护送货物,还在车厢中秘密安插了由安娜为首的几名身手厉害的女士。显然,土耳其方面对亚当和乔什这支雇佣军并不是十分信任,而他们所托运的黄金也不过是个幌子,实际都是假的。而真正贵重的东西是由安娜看守的珠宝箱,里面任何一件珠宝都价值连城。随着战事的进一步激化,亚当和乔什意识到自己在战争中并不能获得什么利益,于是买通安娜,意图中途把珠宝劫走,退出战争,去美国过逍遥的日子。 但是,事情进展得并不顺利,在逃亡的途中,亚当和乔什的部队遭到土耳其军方的袭击,而珠宝和安娜也都不知所踪。亚当和乔什的部队终于不堪重击,以失败告终,而二人也被抓到了土耳其国王的宫殿。在宫殿里,二人见到了久违的安娜,立即明白了事情的原委,原来二人正是被这个女子所出卖。土耳其国王在这场混乱中得到了好处,顺水推舟放了亚当和乔什,二人又一次开始了冒险的旅途。 精彩视点: 与一般的动作片不同,《大风暴》在惊险火爆的场面之外,更注重的是叙事的紧张和悬念的设置,影片的剧情发展环环相扣、惊险紧张,能让观众与主人公同呼吸、共命运。 同时,影片主演托尼·科蒂斯和查理斯·勃朗森的银幕魅力也令人叫好,不经意的喜剧效果让人暴笑连连。有这样两位实力派巨星的加盟,影片的票房号召力自然不成问题。但更重要的则在于,他们二人的出色演技将角色活生生地带到了观众的面前,并把其内心世界展现得淋漓尽致,从而使影片有了极为感人的艺术魅力。

other title: 恐怖古堡 / Lady of the Shadows …
一个年轻的拿破仑军官追踪一个神秘的女人而来到一个年迈男爵的城堡,在那里他发现这个女人是听命于一个老巫婆,其最终目的是迫使男爵自杀…… Roger directed for two days on a set left over from a previous production, and without a proper script. He hired Francis Coppola to write a script and finish the picture. After five weeks of shooting, Roger fired Francis, and hired me to finish the picture. Jack Hill was hired to write a new script with me. A lot of what Francis shot was thrown out, except for the stuff with the witch from WIZARD OF OZ. (Dorothy Newman), and I finished the picture in five days of shooting. All of the interiors are Roger's (with the exception of Francis's witch's lair), and most of the exteriors are mine. To the best of my recollection, and contrary to legend, Jack Nicholson did not direct any of the film.
