Holy Crap this was really nuts. The print is crappy and the opening slow motion montage features people getting shot with no blood, just grabbing random parts of their body and falling down. "is this Italian?" I thought. oh no, all is lost.
I expected a ton of talking with enough action to fill up a trailer then just padding till the credits but it was actually not like that at all.
A brother and sister team are diamond smugglers or diamond miners or something. For some reason the people at the diamond mine have space age clothing, space ship doors and a machine that does something that people go in and it's all lazer-y. why ? it's a mine.
anyway, there is some cool cheesy rock, ample violence (ssee trailer) and even some nude scenes with the sister. Fred williamson shows up. the thing is moving okay...
Then something incredibly strange happens. okay: spoiler and I am telling this only because it's so random
okay the guys sister is killed so he meets a girl at a bar who looks alot like the sister. so much so they go to, a I am laughing as I type this, this weird new age plastic surgery retreat and transform her INTO the sister (that is bring back the first actress) AND they've fallen in love. the guy is dating his sister!! What the f**k!!! somehow the bad guys are supposed to forget when they killed the sister. it's utterly baffling
If that doen't make alot of sense just know this : it completely and totally derails the movie.
I can only guess they either wrote the thing very quickly and didn't really think about it, they were trying to give it some sort of bizarro incest angle or I don't know what. Again, despite the low budget its really a pretty cool movie its just ...boy what a demented plot twist there.
3/5 minus 1 for the utter confusion caused.
oh and theres some hores**t with a huge fiery hot diamond
:buggedout: Wow! That does look insanely bizarre :twirl:
Ah, yes . . . Robert Ginty. We had this in the video store where I worked in the 1980s. The box cover had Ginty on it holding that chainsaw. Brings back memories . . .
I love this flick! It's one of my favorite bad movies of all time.
It was one of four movies I got on a dvd called 3 The Hard Way...Again, the other movies were Kiill Factor, Ninja Vs Mafia, and Pacific Inferno. I had never heard of the movie and was blown away at how awful ,and entertaining, it was. Besides what's already been mentioned there are random fight scenes for no reason at all, one using a chainsaw that's set in a shipyard :question:, a death using a bansaw to the crotch, a woman diamond smuggler with a goofy accent I've never heard before, lots of Turkish guys with very thick mustaches and a 2000 carat diamond known as the White Fire. I read on imdb that the French title for this movie is Life to Survive which makes about as much sense as the movie, none.
major jay -Another thing that doesn't make sense is that it was called 3 the hard way and you got 4 movies!
hahaha! this looks fun and weird enough for me to put it in my watch list
