The British Film Institute has provided a promotional video for its Blu-ray release of Douglas Hickox's Brannigan (1975), starring John Wayne, Richard Attenborough, Judy Geeson, Mel Ferrer, and John Vernon. Branningan will be out on Blu-ray on Monday, August 21.
Description: Veteran Chicago cop Jim Brannigan is sent to London to escort Ben Larkin, a notorious gangster, back home - but when things don't go to plan, Brannigan is forced to team up with Commander Swann, a by-the-book Scotland Yard detective.
Boasting incredible stunts, powerful punch-ups, dry dialogue and panoramic views of 1970s London, Brannigan still stands tall as an explosive, action-packed, highly entertaining and peculiarly British excursion for the legendary John Wayne (The Searchers).
