Me too. Especially from something like Dark of the Sun which came out about the time of the McGee movie. I can't think of what McGee book the Taylor movie was based on.
Dirk Pitt - I think of him as looking like a modern day Travis McGee.....

"Dark Of The Sun" is one of my alltime favorite Mercenary movies. The others are "The Wild Geese", "The Dogs Of War", and "Ronin".
