Code Name: Wild Geese (original Italian title Arcobaleno selvaggio, German title Geheimcode: Wildgänse) is a 1984 Italian-West German war movie directed by Antonio Margheriti (credited as Anthony M. Dawson). The story takes place in the Golden Triangle area of southeast Asia where a band of mercenaries under the command of Captain Robin Wesley (Lewis Collins) fights a Burmese opium lord. This is the first of three films that British actor Lewis Collins made with Margheriti; it was followed by Commando Leopard (1985) and The Commander (1988).
