Secondary Reference

The Professionals is prominently mentioned in Glendon Swarthout's 1970 novel Bless the Beasts and Children, serving as a point of coalescence around which the protagonists generate their scheme to take action aimed at stopping the commercial slaughter (under the guise of "hunting") of corralled buffalo.

Given that this is a contemporary reference to The Professionals and something of its influence in legitimatizing the young generation's defiance of unjust and therefore illegitimate authority, I suggest that it may be appropriate to add mention of this relationship both to the Wikipedia page of The Professionals and to that of Swarthout's novel. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.73.202.62 (talk) 09:08, 31 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

The film is something of a shameless, and talky, ripoff of The Magnificent Seven. Missaeagle (talk) 03:56, 6 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Would it be correct to refer to Jake Sharp as an Apache Scout, as he apparently isn't a Native American, but Afro-American? (He's referred to as "negro" in the film itself.) 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 02:22, 28 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
