1987 • Italy • Directed by Bruno Mattei
Take everything you think of with Bruno Mattei 'Namsploitation'', says DTV Connoisseur, 'replace Reb Brown with Miles O'Keeffe, and that's how awesome this movie is.' When terrorist attacks ravage Southeast Asia, the U.S. government recruits former loose-cannon commando Bob Ross (O'Keeffe of TARZAN THE APE MAN and ATOR fame) to return to Vietnam, hunt down the Russian madman (Bo Svenson of THE INGLORIOUS BASTARDS) responsible, rescue his long-lost Amerasian son and destroy anything that gets in his way. Ottaviano Dell'Acqua (ZOMBIE 3), Luciano Pigozzi (STRIKE COMMANDO), Massimo Vanni (ROBOWAR) and Donald Pleasence co-star in what may be Mattei and screenwriters Claudio Fragasso & Rossella Drudi's most absurdly ambitious and hyper-violent Philippines action epic of them all, now restored in 2K from the original negative.
