More a skin flick than an action movie
25 September 2017
Warning: Spoilers
I caught this one under the title G.I. EXECUTIONER. It's a very low rent action thriller, shot (briefly) in Singapore and mostly in the Philippines, and of the usual poor quality associated with those South East Asia locations. The film was directed by the notorious Joel M. Reed - the inept bloke behind BLOODSUCKING FREAKS and NIGHT OF THE ZOMBIES - and turns out to be more of a skin flick than a thriller.

The story is about a down-on-his-luck journalist who gets involved in the hunt for some Chinese spies. He kicks a little backside but the action stuff is very limited here and it's mostly a talky enterprise. Future Bruceploitation stalwart Dragon Lee has a tiny role as an assailant. The emphasis of the film is very much on sex and nudity, particularly the latter, with half a dozen actresses require to parade around in the nude at various points. Chief of these is the statuesque Angelique Pettyjohn, who made quite the career for herself in Filipino cinema at this time. Her nude shoot-out scene is something to remember.
