- "In 1942, a shipwrecked U.S. Army deserter washes up on a remote Borneo beach. He is found by a tribe of headhunters, and becomes their king and must lead them into perilous battle. Nick Nolte stars."@en
- "An American soldier who escapes the execution of his comrades by Japanese soldiers in Borneo during WWII becomes the leader of a personal empire among the headhunters in this war story told in the style of Joseph Conrad and Rudyard Kipling. The American is reluctant to rejoin the fight against the Japanese on the urging of a British commando team but conducts a war of vengeance when the Japanese attack his adopted people."@en
- "Nick Nolte does a solid job as a former Marine who leaves the war behind him and finds refuge with a head hunter tribe in Borneo. Through fate and circumstance, he becomes king and leader of his tribe. He takes a wife, and believes that WW II is behind him. Then the Japanese forces arrive near his domain. His emerald forest changes, fate forces him to revert to his military tactics to save his tribe. A British commando team discovers him and tries to get him to fight the Japanese. Nolte will have no part in the war until it arrives at his front door. Farewell To The King does a great job in showing the angst and sadness of joining another battle, a man torn in two by war, frustration at not being able to control the events around you."
