Fireback (1983)
3/10
Fast Pace and a good story make Fireback a "Z+."
30 August 2020
Watching movies on YouTube is sometimes a mixed bag as you are glad they are there however with scenes out of sequence, the language spoken changing back and forth, and in the case of Fireback ending with about four minutes left in the film, it can get frustrating. It's too bad because Fireback was fast paced, with a good story, and perhaps Richard Harrison's (Jack Kaplan) last role where he still looked like a legit leading man. There is the requisite high body count with all the Teddy Page, in his maiden directorial effort, regulars including dependable Mike Monty (Police Chief ) with snazzy bright golden hair. The dubbing is terrible but Richard does a nice job of keeping the audience on his side while he avenges his wife's Ann Milhench (Diane) who looked pretty good in a bikini. The soundtrack is fine and the cinematography is bad at time while other times is very good. The night scenes were especially well shot. This adds up to one of the better "Z" movies and a must see for action fans. If you can overlook the terrible dubbing Fireback is one of the better "Z" movies. I only wish I knew how it ended.
