Very Good Z Rescue Movie
The Veteran Actor Richard Harrison (Robert Burton) is hired by (Mike Cohen) to lead a team into the Jungle to rescue (Coleman) Mike Monty. They are a lively group that in the next decade would be ubiquitous in Filipino Z movies. The two standouts were Romano Kristoff as (Franco) and Don Gordon Bell as (Harry). The mission is also joined by lovely Tetchie Agbayanias as (Kara).
Kristoff is really good and I do believe he could have been a good supporting actor in Hollywood if he had chosen to leave the Philippines. Big Mike Cohen gives his usual good account of himself and Harrison has fun with the hard drinking Burton character. On the down side is the dubbing, worse then usual, and Director Jim Goldman not developing Kara's character with the beautiful lady just becoming a part of the scenery rather then a contributor to the "Rescue Team". A couple of big plot twists near the end, and a lot of action along the way makes this one worth watching.
