Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
An oriental potboiler, of tangential interest as a rabid anti-Communist tract, with bounty hunter Morris mowing down Vietcong hordes during a behind-the-lines operation to recover skyjacked gold earmarked for an opium deal. Early on, one of his help-mates, a large girl in hotpants, strips down in a jungle monsoon to divert two enemy guards, and the film is littered with similar scenes of classic improbability. No one, incidentally, makes any reference to the Strategic Tactical Airborne Brigade of the opportunistic title.Author: JPy
