CORNY,BUT ENTERTAINING......


I REMEMBER SEEING THIS MOVIE DOWNTOWN L.A. BACK IN 1974,AND INJOYED IT BACK THEN NOT KNOWING WHAT A FILIPINO WAS!BUT BEING MARRIED TO ONE AND SEVERAL TRIPS THERE I UNDERSTAND THIS MOVIE'S SHOT IN THE PHILIPPINES.
I ALWAYS LIKE JAMES INGLEHART,AND I NOTICE 3 OF HIS MOVIES WAS SHOT IN THE P.I. AND THEY WERE VERY ENTERTAINING,AND SO WAS THIS MOVIE! YES IT WAS LOW BUDGET,BUT THE PLOT WAS GOOD,ACTING WAS DECENT,AND IT NEVER GOT BORING,CORY BUT NOT BORING.
JAMES IGLEHART IS GOOD AS "CARL JEFFERSON,EVEN THOU THE MOVIE POSTER SAYS "CAL JEFFERSON,CHIQUITO ADDED THE COMEDY ELEMENT,HE WAS ALSO IN "TNT JACKSON" KEN METCAFE ALWAYS SEEM TO BE IN THESE MOVIES SHOT IN THE P.I. BACK IN THE 70'S,SO IS EDDIE GARCIA AND VIC DIAZ,WHICH HAS A VERY SMALL PART BUT,THEY WERE ALL GOOD IN THIS FLICK! MARISA DELGATO WAS LOOKING GOOD IN THIS,WHICH SHE ALSO WAS IN "THE BIG BIRD CAGE"WAS GOOD IN HER ROLE AS METCAFE'S LADY,AND SHIRLEY WASHINGTON WAS GOOD ALSO,SHE DID'NT SEEM TO MAKE A BIG NAME FOR HERSELF IN THE BUSINESS IN THE 70'S BUT,SHE WAS JUST AS GOOD AS ANY BLAXPLOITATION ACTRESS OF THAT TIME AND SHE IS ALSO GOOD IN THIS MOVIE.
IF YOU LIKE 70'S B-MOVIES,THIS IS VERY ENTERTAINING! BUT IF YOU DON'T,PASS IT BY!

Agreed. This film was a lot of silly fun.

GLAD YOU DISCOVERED THE PHILIPPINES IN FIFTY YEARS.
HOW ABOUT DISCOVERING CAPS LOCK?
EVEN EASIER.
