This was one of the most successful spy films ever made during the James Bond period.
Gregg Tallas directed this film about a secret agent named Mike Murphey (Luis Davila) who is assigned to stop a group of criminal;s from obtaining a super secret death ray invented by a professor.
Rigo Orie (Alberto Dalbes) is the head of the criminal gang and they intend to steal the ray and use it to control the world. There are tons of car chases, fist fights, gun battles and beautiful women to keep your attention for 98 minutes.
It's easy to understand why this film was a block buster in Europe at the time of it's release. It has everything. Perla Cristal and Ana Castor are two damn sexy babes in this film and they battle for the attention of Murphey.
This fast moving film goes into a bit of territory that the American Bond films did not, such as the spy actually enjoying killing his victims and slapping women around in order to get them to do as ordered.
However, the film is well made and was a joy to see. I had missed this on several occasions, but finally caught it on Shout TV. Highly recommended little spy film that holds up very well today. Look quickly for George Lazenby in a small role before he became James Bond for one film.
The rest of the cast includes Jose Greci, Tomas Blanco and Joe Camel.
