In 1960, after eighty years under Belgian colonial rule, Congo proclaimed its independence; Less than two weeks later, the rich mining province of Katanga seceded. Congo and Katanga immediately go to war; At the heart of the conflict: the possession of mining territories. Numerous massacres and exoduses of civilians ensue. The UN then imposes its mediation and the sending of peacekeepers on the spot ... At the same time, a horde of mercenary ignoble is recruited to free the occupied mining ... And a black servant, Charlie, twists the neck to fate by putting his hand on an invaluable treasure: 30 million dollars of diamonds ... which makes him the most sought after Black of Katanga.
Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino are two of the film's fans. Scorsese calls the film one of his "guilty pleasures". He elaborated:
This movie-Rod Taylor vs. the Mau Maus-was the most violent I'd seen up to that time. There's a scene where Taylor fights an ex-Nazi with chain saws. In another scene, a train full of refugees has finally escaped the Mau Maus in the valley below-and just as it's about to reach the top of a hill, the power fails, the train goes all the way back down, and the refugees are slaughtered. It's a truly sadistic movie, but it should be seen. I'd guess that because of its utter racism, a lot of people would have found it embarrassing, so they just ignored it. The sense of the film is overwhelmingly violent; there's no consideration for anything else. The answer to everything is "kill."
The film was a particular influence on Tarantino, who used several tracks from the score for his movie Inglourious Basterds, which features Rod Taylor in a guest role as Winston Churchill.
Sjetio sam se filma "Katanga" (Dark of the Sun). 1968., sa Rod Taylor. Kome ovaj strip valja, preporučujem obavezno i film pogledat. Na kraju prvog posta, je o filmu.
Srednji lik na silhueti ispod naslova ima u rukama M16...
Iako je teoretički moguče, da su belgijanski najamnici došli do civilne variante AR-10/15 pušak, M16 je u američku vojsku uvedena 1964 (i odmah postala jedna od ikona rata u Vietnamu) dok je kriza u Katangi trajala od 1969 - 1963. Najvjerojatnije se radi o precrtavanju fotografije iz vietnamskog (ili kojeg kasnijeg) rata.
Prijatelju, nije još nitko! Moja zabuna, nemam pojma kako i zašto, mislio sam da je prvi broj već tu. Sad provjerio na spisku, uopće ga nemam. Dobro me upita, morat ću onu ponudu poviše...
