Review of Fireback

Fireback (1983)
3/10
Watch out for strange men with soft drink straws

Warning: Spoilers
There's not a great deal I can add to previous comments about this unintentionally hilarious Philippines made atrocity, but I'll try. Fireback is hopelessly padded with interminable slow motion scenes, rendering poorly staged action sequences even worse by revealing additional flaws that might have gone unnoticed at regular speed (check out the 'Viet Cong's' fancy footwear). Star Richard Harrison sports a hideous caterpillar moustache, there's a jive talking black dude who spouts crypto-beatnik nonsense about 'Angelsville' (heaven), and (if you get a copy of the old USA Home Video VHS) spectacular bumpers featuring Sybil Danning's er, bumpers. The over-oiled Sybil cradles a massive gun in her arms whilst giving away all the highlights of the movie, but as there really aren't any highlights to give away, the spoilers won't really spoil anything for you. The Man With the Golden Hand is pretty cool, though.
