There's an audience for really bad movies. You know the type. Where you suffer or laugh your way thru. 'White Fire' is a cheapo Turkish production from the 80's that provides plenty of cheese and has two familiar faces to the b-movie world. Ex NFL player turned blaxploitation star Fred Williamson & Robert Ginty (Exterminator). With a barrel of wacky elements including a brother who wants to bone his sister you'll have to decide if this is worth 90 mins of your time.
'Bo' Donnelly (Ginty) and sister Ingrid (Belinda Mayne) are jewel thieves. She smuggles diamonds from her mine job in Istanbul, but when a third party tries to cut in on their action and they said no, she's accidentally killed. Bo recruits a similar looking blonde who goes under the knife to pose as his sister, continue stealing as the mine discover a huge diamond called "White Fire" that kills people upon contact. Their attempted theft of said gem alerts the mine owners who bring in enforcer Barclay (Williamson) to stop them.
Ginty wields a chainsaw early on against goons featuring blood / light gore, but it's too silly to be taken seriously. There's also some stunt work with flames and explosions where it looks like actor & crew safety wasn't the top priority. If you want more there's terrible music including a rock ballad title track, a bevy of costumes and sets that look like rejected pieces that could have came from the OG 'Star Trek'.
I found 'White Fire' largely boring and it creeped me out more than a little. There's no getting around the whole incest element here with the creepy brother. It's taken way too far for good taste and not funny nor played for such. He sees her naked. Makes gross comments about wanting her sexually. Has daydreams about her and gets to semi fulfill this sick fantasy with the stand-in later. Ugh. Just no.
