4/10
Another dud from Jess Franco

Warning: Spoilers
Ah, "Two Female Spies With Flowered Panties"! What could go wrong, right? Everything, as it turns out. The incredibly prolific Jess Franco was never a great director, but by the early 1980s it seem that he couldn't even be bothered to make the slightest effort anymore; he just threw some naked women on the screen and thought that would be enough. It's hard to know what's more boring in this movie: the endless rape scenes, the endless striptease scenes, the endless helicopter flying scenes, or the endless biker-hippie (!) scenes. To be perfectly honest, I was forced to watch parts of the film in fast-forward because I just couldn't bear it anymore; it didn't help much. Even if you are a fan of Franco, pick something else from his filmography - God knows there are other options out there!

EDIT: I just watched the Spanish version of this movie. It does seem to be somehwat different - there are no rape scenes, for example. It's still a boring action/sexploitation Franco hybrid, and I'm leaving my original comment untouched, but because it is more tolerable than another Franco film I watched recently, I'm changing my rating to *1/2 out of 4 stars. Lina Romay does have a voluptuous body.
