" A number of accidents occurred during the filming of The Eiger Sanction. A 27-year-old English climber, David Knowles, who was a body double and photographer, was killed during a rock fall, and mountaineer Mike Hoover narrowly escaped with his life."
"Clint Eastwood's third directorial effort The Eiger Sanction (adapted from a popular novel of the same name) tells the somewhat familiar story of a retired assassin called back to do one last job—only this job takes place on the infamous north face of the Eiger, a 13,000 foot mountain in the Swiss Alps. The film was shot on location, so production was bound to be dangerous—and Eastwood and his crew didn't shy away from taking chances. This is illustrated nicely by one insane risk taken by E"
" Eastwood directs one of his more challenging films, which is this sprawling very-70s action film that is actually maybe one of the best climbing films I've seen. "
"11/6/17 Clint Eastwood directs and stars as a former assassin for a secret organisation brought out of retirement for one more job while climbing the Eiger. A silly premise is kept together by Eastwood's smart one-liners, some decent set pieces and the incredible climbing sequences, especially when they arrive on the mountain. Plus there's one of John Williams's most underrated scores."
