This film stars Miles O'Keeffe (whose name I've misspelled many times on this blog - so when the credits have misspellings of words like "crew" I have to make allowances), was directed by Bruno Mattei and was shot in the Philippines. It has Donald Pleasance and Bo Svenson (doing a poor Russian accent) in small roles. It's about a U.S. government agent sent to Vietnam on a secret mission and who's going to pick up his long-kidnapped son while at it. It's a Farm Film Report Blowed-Up-Good kind of film. There's the required exploding helicopter. There's rocket launchers destroying villages. There's motorcycle chases. And then there's O'Keeffe fighting a shark - and blowing it up, too. The film actually looks quite good and, despite some clumsy scenes where the star should by all reason get killed, doesn't bog down except when showing Pleasance sitting at a desk, slowly dying.
