Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Shout at the Devil was a 1976 war/action adventure movie. Directed by Peter R. Hunt (previously best known as an editor of, among other things, the James Bond movies and as the director of On Her Majesty's Secret Service), it was based on a novel by Wilbur Smith, which in turn was (loosely) based on a true story of the sinking of the German battleship SMS Königsberg during World War I.In 1913, Colonel Flynn O'Flynn (Lee Marvin), an Irish-American ivory poacher, cons Sebastian Oldsmith (Roger Moore), an English aristocrat stopping by at Zanzibar, into helping him hunt elephants for their ivory and then smuggle them through German-controlled African territory. The trip takes a disastrous turn, eventually leading Flynn, Sebastian, Flynn's mute second-in-command, Mohammed (Ian Holm. Yes, really.) and the survivors of Flynn's hunting party to make their way to the home of Flynn's daughter, Rosa (Barbara Parkins), in Portuguese-controlled territory. Eventually, the Great War arrives, leading to the group joining the Allied military against the Germans.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Has no relation to the Mötley Crüe album of the same name. | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
| Shout at the Devil / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: In the novel Fleischer does not deliberately murder a baby; his soldiers do and he's genuinely apologetic. | |

Artistic License – History | |

Artistic License – History: In the film the German ship is named Blücher; there was a vessel of this name, but it did not serve in Africa. The film implies that Portugal became a co-belligerent with Britain against Germany when the First World War broke out in August 1914, as the Portuguese supply O'Flynn and Oldsmith with a marked Portuguese plane with a Portuguese pilot to conduct surveillance in German territory. In reality, the Portuguese would not have allowed this as they remained neutral until 1916. | |

BlackAndGreyMorality | |
| Shout at the Devil / int_588d766f | comment |
Black-and-Grey Morality: Zigzagged as far as the Germans in the film are concerned. While Flynn and Sebastian's actions usually place them in the grey, the Germans tend to range from solid black (Fleischer, who even if you ignore the moral ambiguity of the war is still a despciable person) to grey (the other German commanders, who act more professionally). | |
