South African businessman David Swansey (Richard Harris) is delivering illegal German helicopters to Rhodesia as the government there seeks to uphold white rule over the Popular Front led by reluctant revolutionary Gideon Marunga (Richard Roundtree). The two men from opposite worlds collide in a conflict of ideals, each embracing his own beliefs until the bitter end. ## Images ![Game For Vultures [DVD] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/513cr7pis0L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating and engaging if flawed obscurity *by M***A on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 October 2017* This largely forgotten 1979 British film tells of the sanction-busting efforts of Rhodesian patriot David Swansey (played by a seemingly sober Richard Harris) to procure U.S. military-grade helicopters for the Rhodesian military and the rebel guerrillas attempts to stop him. It's apparently based on a 1975 novel.Being a history buff and having a keen, apolitical interest in Rhodesia/The Rhodesian Bush War I was impressed by the level of authentic details depicted in the film and, perhaps more surprisingly, the broad impartiality exercised in its depiction of protagonists and antagonists alike (especially considering that the general tone of most contemporary British reports/documentaries/coverage on Rhodesia from the period were staunchly anti-Rhodesian).Certainly the filmmakers did their research on the conflict with impressive authenticity in uniforms and equipment and one particularly accurate scene where the guerrillas execute a black store owner because one of the radios they had previously [i]looted[/i] from him exploded, killing a couple of rebels. This actually happened as Rhodesian security forces became adept at rigging commercial radios with explosives (as well as deliberately poisoning food), secreting them in rural, isolated stores vulnerable to attack.'Vultures is an often frustrating film however, not least because Harris' character 'Swansey' - whose clandestine activities should render him a fascinating protagonist, is surprisingly one-dimensional. His girlfriend - portrayed by Joan Collins no less (!) feels somewhat extraneous too.Of far greater interest (and arguably better written) though is Richard Roundtree's Gideon Marunga - Swansey's opponent and an inspirational if deeply flawed guerrilla leader. Marunga is depicted pleasingly cynically and proves to be a refreshing antithesis to the noble, near-flawless 'freedom fighter' cliche one might've expected.Other minor issues within the film are the guerrilla's exaggerated combat effectiveness as they're shown mowing down scores of Rhodesian soldiers with ease (in reality the kill ratio between Rhodesian and guerrilla forces was something ludicrous like 50:1!). Worse, sub characters/sub plots seem to go nowhere or are left unresolved. Accents are all over the place too (Harris doesn't even attempt a Rhodesian accent) and from a technical perspective, post production dubbing is noticeably shoddy/un-synched in places.I'd imagine 'Game for Vultures' didn't exactly set the box office alight, not least because the film was the unwitting victim of real life events overtaking fiction with its 1979 release coinciding with major diplomatic breakthroughs that would end both the war and Rhodesia as a nation state within mere months.Much of what the film depicts then must've seemed like almost ancient history or indeed an epitaph of a practically dead nation to contemporary audiences.All that said hardly a classic but not bad either, holding some worth to those interested in the period, the Rhodesian Bush War and/or Rhodesia itself. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars film went to south africa *by R***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 March 2013* i am unable to make any comment on this film as it was taken to south africa by my sister when she visited england ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars Game of Vultures *by B***© on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 July 2013* A good film, although being American backed, the leader of the terrorists (not freedom fighters - terrorists are what they really were) is, of course, an American. He runs around the bush with a Colt AR-15 (M-16 to others) while all his other "comrades" are using communist equipment. A few of the scenes are a trifle predictable and it is a bit clichéd at times. Even so, I just loved the film! Richard Harris and Joan Collins star. Anyone who just wants an easy film to watch will like this one. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ma/products/170039382-game-for-vultures-dvd](https://www.desertcart.ma/products/170039382-game-for-vultures-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Morocco* *Store origin: MA* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
