    A movie evil, as bad as it's merchant, Smith

    It's terrible to see a good actor who used to work in such legitimate type action movies whatever. fall into what is base film making here. Although he's properly suited here, Smith, playing a slave trader of young flesh, looks as almost he doesn't give a s..t. I can read actor's minds. You can really tell underneath his guise, he really hates doing movies like this. The only bits I remember of this was the scene with him and the two abducted girls, one of them fighting back in a serve of terrible dialogue. I remember an older one of his girls who he struck up something of an affair with, doing herself by razor blade, later, piercing wrist skin, an always unwatchable scene in the R rated flick. What more I can't remember about this flick, except that it was set in an Columbian jungle which is most unusual for me, but when viewing pieces of crap like this, especially, from many yesteryears ago, it's understandable. The real evil was allowing this movie to be made.

    Terrible and cheap

    This is a real terrible movie. It is very cheap and without the charme and humor of trash movies of that priceclass. Not even a good actor like William Smith can save it. The character he plays is a one-eyed white slave trader called Fortunetti which reminds us that he has played a much better part 15 years earlier as Falconetti in Rich Man, Poor Man.
