      • Trivia
        A clip of this movie (the decapitation scene) was showed in the Norwegian TV-debate program "På Sparket" on 11 December 1980. This program was the start of the long and heated debate about so called video-nasties (videovold) in Norway. The movie was almost labeled as a video-nasty among with movies like "Texas chainsaw massacre", "The Exterminator", "Cannibal holocaust" etc.

      A Candidate for Mystery Science Theatre 3000
      A taste of hell, indeed! If hell is half as bad as this movie was, then I pray for any poor soul heading for Dante's Inferno!

      In a nutshell, the script was non-existent, the plot, well there was actually no plot, and the fighting, well, you could tell this was a pathetic "B" Movie. There was no character development, even the slashing of a knife looked fake. The only reason I didn't turn this movie off after the first three minutes was in respect for the $ 1.07 I shelled out for this flop! The costumes looked, surprise surprise, like the seventies and not like WWII 1942. The movie lacked any dénouement though I will give it the credit of having a climax. All in all, as I said in my title, this would truly be a knee slapper on Mystery Science Theatre 3000!
