I remember watching it when it was first shown on TV, think it would have been 1980. Liked the 70s London scenes but not a big John Wayne fan, never thought he was much good as an actor

I think I've mentioned this film in another thread before; though I've not watched it for years I remember Judy Geeson driving John Wayne around London in a Consul GT.
I was lucky enough to have a lengthy phone conversation with Peter Brayham around 2003 & he did mention this film was the first time he'd persuaded Ford to lend him vehicles for filming. It was off the back of this that he negotiated the use of them in The Sweeney & later The Professionals.
John Wayne looks like a fish out of water in London; I seem to remember that his IMDB doesn't even mention Brannigan; glossed over in favour of his 'Westerns'.

This is a film that is on my list to watch or pick up at a dvd sale. The London setting adds to its appeal.  |

I keep meaning to get hold of a copy of this. I haven't seen it for donkey's years.

Brannigan is on Netflix at the moment.
I still haven't gotten around to watching it properly yet, but the bit I saw was good.
I will try and watch it all the way through this week.
Charles.

Watched this again last night. Pure entertainment with a tourist guide to London to boot. Wayne is a shocking actor though.

Watched this earlier, spotted Nosher Powell in the fight scene. I guess that this would have been around the same time as the fight scene was filmed for Night Out, couldn't have been too long between filming the two.
