FIREBACK is a hellish, Frankenstein's monster of a movie, seemingly stitched together from about three different films. Richard Harrison plays Kaplan, a weapons expert of some sort, who never gets to use the utterly absurd supergun from the opening. No problem. He builds his own! In a junkyard!
We are introduced to Kaplan's girlfriend, who appears to be in some other dimension. Then, there's the villain known as "the man with the golden hand", who, if he blocked a sneeze wrong, would knock his face through the back of his head.
Thankfully, the dubbing makes everyone sound like cartoon characters, and there's plenty of karate, with hits that sound like giants flogging each other with wet trees. Plus, lots of stuff explodes in slow-motion. This all distracts us from the fact that nothing makes one bit of sense.
Just go with it, but don't forget the intoxicants!
This is another marvel of Filipino filmmaking...
