With Richard Harrison and Bruce Baron headlining the cast, alongside the Filipino setting, you might be forgiven for thinking this was a Godfrey Ho movie. It's not, but it is just as endearing and entertainingly bad as any of his ninja films. Harrison is the lean, muscular, 'tache-sporting hero who's rescued from his Vietnamese prison only to return home and find his wife kidnapped. After that he goes on the warpath, fighting off multiple and repeated attacks by assassins along the way. This is a high cheese fest of the early '80s, with extremely low production values and an extremely high entertainment fact. It's one action scene after another, all of them gratuitously violent and very cheesy. Expect wooden performances, badly dubbed actors, nonsensical plotting and laughable choreography, and yet this all adds up to a so-bad-it's-good crowd-pleaser of a B-flick.
