Editorial Review:
During the Second World War, an American soldier escapes his Japanese captors and flees into the jungles of Borneo, where he is found and taken in by Dayak headhunters. Two years later, British commandos arrive and are amazed to discover that the American has become king of the tribe. Initially reluctant to help the commandos, the king wages an all-out war on the Japanese after the invaders destroy his village.
Farewell to the King Reviews:
Good movie. 
2009-06-28 - This is about the best movie that Nolte ever made.
Great war movie and fun to watch.
another point of view about the meaning of the word "freedom" 
2009-06-15 - Wonderful film, worth seeing indeed.
The best character, I think, of Nick Nolte.
Based on the french novel "L'adieu au roi" of Pierre Schöndorfer, who fought in Indochine; the novel itself, as far as I know, is based on a true story.
It shows us another meaning of the sense of freedom during WW II.
Dances with Dayaks? 
2009-04-23 - I am watching this in HD on cable and it is one cheesy movie. Badly acted, incredibly cliched attempt to make a Dances With Wolves in Borneo. When Nolte is in a good movie he's good and when he's in a cheese factory he is awful.
Farewell to the King
2008-10-15 - This is a great movie that was recommended to me by a friend. Nick Nolte plays a convincing part in this gripping story about a man who finds home in the jungles during WWII. Two thumbs up!
Nolte really is a "King" is this one
2007-10-24 - As good as he was in Rich Man-Poor Man, and as great as he was in 48 Hours, and Another 48 Hours, these pale in comparison to "Farewell To The King."
Nolte makes you believe there really is a King Leroy in charge of all the tribes in Borneo.
As The King says, "What's life without a little salt?" If you don't get this movie, you'll surely find out.
