The Last Hunter (Italian: L'ultimo cacciatore) is a 1980 Italian "macaroni combat" directed by Antonio Margheriti and starring David Warbeck and Tony King.[2] Initially made to capitalize on the success of The Deer Hunter, The Last Hunter was the first Euro War set during the Vietnam War, as opposed to World War II like all previous entries in the subgenre.

While not prosecuted for obscenity, the film was seized and confiscated in the UK under Section 3 of the Obscene Publications Act 1959 during the video nasty panic [3]
