Keep in mind that watching this film is like eating a packet of Cheese and Onion crisps and you'll do alright. It's enjoyable enough when you watch it, but afterwards you won't really be analysing things.
Richard Harrison is a troubled man, not that you'd be able to tell from his stony face. He's a Vietnam vet, and he's also suffering from severe flashbacks of his twelfth birthday, where his mother and father got gunned down by the Mob and is sister raped. I'm not sure how this resulted in him working for the Mob, or even why they killed his parents at all, but let's go with the flow.
Harrison has a nifty way of killing folks: He's an expert in poison gas and keeps it contained in a zippo lighter. We first see him hooking up with the girlfriend of a Mafioso and after a lengthy sex scene, Harrison kills the Mob guy who was sleeping in the same room (I told you not to think too much about all this). Harrison lives on an island near Istanbul with his girlfriend Krista Nell. Nell thinks that Harrison is going to take her way, but when he ditches her for another kill job, she dumps him in a barrage of cuss words. Harrison isn't bothered mind you, because Erika Blanc has turned up on the island, and she's giving him the glad eye.
Harrison has a Vietnam buddy who is also a hitman and the whole mess seems to involve them working for different bosses and double crossing each other without killing each other. Or something like that. Let me break it down for you: First half of the film = Harrison bumping off mob bosses mixed with sex scenes. Second half of the film = Harrison trying do one last job while taking on waves of bad guys. It did the job for me.
Richard Harrison isn't going to go down in history as the greatest actor ever, but he's not bad as an action hero. This film has enough nudity and violence to keep you entertained, like a nudity and violence flavoured packet of crisps.
