CrashHolly8 Today he would be 50, if still alive. Take this review as a tribute to the legacy of Brandon Lee. Lee plays as Michael Gold, who is mercenary and on a mission in Cuba, he talks with professor on beach and then bad guys shoot sleeping dart to Gold and same kind of dart to professor as well. When Gold wakes up, hes in prison cell and he is about to be executed. Dumb guards let Gold escape and that scene was really impressive, Gold alone kills 30+ guys and escapes to United States. In States, Gold is furious, because his boss didn't tell, what kind of mission it was. But still Gold agrees to save professor and his daughter. As a fake outfit, Gold once again goes to Cuba and he meets Alissa, who pretends to be professors daughter, but in the very end of this movie, shes not. I remember car chasing scene involving Gold and Alissa and Alissa is driving and she drives, like mad girl. Meanwhile Gold is shooting bad guys. It was some kind of mini van full of ammunition. Next scene I remember was in desert and Gold and Alissa are walking there and still 1 bad guy notices them and Gold goes under sand and surprises bad guy and they have small fight involving Alissa as well. Other sand scene was in destroyed building, there was guy with cross-bow and he nearly hits Gold or Alissa, duo quickly shoots guy, but he jumps off pillar and goes back, tries to use knife, but duo shoots him pretty fast. The final scene was professor being kidnapped and Alissa being tied up as well, so its Michael Gold for rescue. He first saves professor and professor knows, where mines are, Alissa was prisoner in mines, so final fight scene takes place in mines. Leader of mines kiss Alissa and when he hears gun shooting, he joins them and manages to shoot Gold in back. Then Gold goes to hole and leader goes there as well with Alissa. Gold shoots leader, but he had bullet proof vest, so in ending leader goes again and nearly shoots our heroes, but tunnels explodes and so does our leader. You thought leader was still dead? No, he is still alive, but this time Gold drives and hits leader, who also hits brick wall and doesn't move after that. Movie ends. I was surprised, how good this movie was.

Bezenby This is another quality bad film from the eighties that makes little to no sense, but has plenty of explosions, gunfire and daftness to keep you happy.Brandon Lee is sent to some country to rescue randomly accented scientist Ernest Borgnine. What country it is I have no idea, but it has plenty of cubans, a desert, camels and diamond mines and seems to be run by Germans and Russians. The German bad guy here is Werner Pocath, who somehow must have got lost trying to find the latest Italian production and ended up in this film instead. Brandon puts us through our paces by doing impressions of beggars and military officers before hooking up with Borgnine's low-cut dress wearing daughter and tearing off looking for Borgnine, who can somehow use lasers and diamonds to make nuclear weapons, all done to the tune 'mercanary man" by David Knopfler, over and over again.To hell with the plot. You've got many impossible gunfights (even Borgnine gets involved), things blowing up real good, terrible banter between our heroes, lots of standing around laughing, bad guys that won't die and other bad guy who do really stupid things, like releasing Lee from handcuffs and getting immediately killed.You've also got a punch up filmed from underneath a horse's stomach, editing that makes no sense (especially a fist fight with Pocath, where they randomly teleport onto a roof), and the battle at the end while have you going "how did they?" and "Why did he?" to yourself (or friends, if you have any of those). There's even a spelling mistake at the end credits by the people who did the end credits, in their own credit!This SCi-fi free film is part of Mill Creek's 50 Sci Fi Classics box set. So it'll cost you barely anything.

Vincent Black This movie makes absolutely no sense what-so-ever. Errors in geography was bad enough, there were scenes that just had no point. At the very beginning we witness the heist of a massive diamond. The bad guys show up with an arsenal of weapons but use a black smoke and knock out gas to take down the crowd. Then they fire only one shot from a shotgun which is never explained. Did they kill someone? No. They just stole the big diamond and walked away.Next we see Mike Gold played by Brandon Lee meeting a German scientist in Cuba on the beach. The hammy acting and fake accents are horrid. The fight choreography is terrible. There is a fight in a room full of weapons (swords, axes, etc.) between Gold and Eckhardt, but they use hand combat and fight right out of the room and on to the roof. This is where both fall and the bad guy loses. Then a ninja attacks Gold from the bushes. Earlier in the Cuban desert... Gold and his girlfriend are attacked by a man riding a small white pony. Alissa played by Debi Monahan, picks up the attacker's sword and never uses it to defend herself. It is a weapon, when you are under attack and hunted by bad guys you keep those handy. Who sends their hit men out into the desert to look for people?Meanwhile two henchmen Mañuel and Sgt. Roberta, who work for the head bad guy Kalishnakov, provide the comedy relief. They even have a scene where Mañuel notices Sgt. Roberta is a female due to her wet t-shirt. They first appeared in the Cuban area but since a border was crossed during the movie they must have ended up in some other part of Cuba where they were forced to work in a Cuban diamond mine.At the point when that ninja attacked, I assumed this script was written by some three year old boy. I halfway expected the movie to end with his mother calling him in from his sandbox for his dinner. The plot is chaotic and random like some one was just pulling cards out of a hat with worn out action scenes written on them. I gave the movie 2 stars for Brandon Lee. He must have been desperate for an acting job to have landed in this turkey.

Oljy Guns, corny scenes and cleavage. Absolutely one of the best camp action movies out there! So filled with clichés, bad acting and... blatant racism? Even if the main villains are white Nazis, about 90 percent of their henchmen are black men who suffer terrible deaths in close-up shots. (South-African contribution to the film?)Usually camp films are made with serious intent, but I got a strong feeling that this was made with a tongue in cheek. Then again, almost all action films are made that way, so it is hard to tell.Although the movie is great fun, it is best enjoyed with sufficient amounts of intoxicating beverages and salty snacks.
