For fans of "so bad they're good" films, this is one of the funniest out there, and an embarrassment for William Shatner. He overacts and makes many funny faces as he plays a psychotic 1970's gigolo who cons women and takes their money, also periodically being seized with the urge to murder them after suffering a childhood trauma. It's hilarious seeing Shatner wearing many different various types of mod '70s attire in this, and at one point he emerges wearing a pimp's hat and later a sleeveless muscle shirt. Not a good film, but entertaining and unintentionally funny stuff. Look out for an appearance of GOLDFINGER's Harold Sakata ("Oddjob" himself) as a thug named "Karate Pete" as he attempts to deliver dialogue while he shakes down Shatner's character. **1/2 out of ****
