The Last Hunter

The Last Hunter Italian Lultimo cacciatore is a 1980 Italian macaroni combat war film directed by Antonio Margheriti and starring David Warbeck. The Last Hunter marked the first Euro War film to take place during the Vietnam War, as opposed World War II like all films in the subgenre before.

Director Antonio Margheriti decided to make a Vietnam War film due to the success of the American film The Deer Hunter. The Last Hunter was originally titled Cacciatore 2, a dubious Italian film tradition in order to appear as an unofficial sequel to The Deer Hunter which was released in Italy as Il Cacciatore. Promotional posters were printed up with this title see left. Antonio Margheritis son Edoardo Margheriti who served as second unit director said the title was changed to LUltimo cacciatore due to rights issues.Unlike director Michael Cimino, Antonio Margheriti did not want to make a political film that was for or against the Vietnam War. He just wanted to make a Vietnam War film that was fun. ........
