This film begins with a scientist by the name of "Dr. Mason" (T. E. Foreman) implanting a microdot containing top-secret information related to some environmental research into the forehead of his attractive assistant "Felicia" (Patch McKenzie). Immediately afterward he is then summoned by a ruthless man named "Santo 'the Pig' Massino" (Harold Sakata) who has essentially been holding both Dr. Mason and Felicia as hostages and forcing them into misusing their knowledge of the environment to construct a devasting weapon known as a freeze bomb. Fortunately, while Dr. Mason is reporting to Santo, Felicia has taken the opportunity to escape from the fortified compound without being detected. Not only that, but anticipating Santo's wrath, Dr. Mason also injects some poison into his body so that Santo has no ability to retrieve the valuable information he possesses as well. Needless to say, this infuriates Santo who immediately sends his Haitian hitman "Tatoupa" (Bob Minor) to find Felicia and bring her back at all costs. Meanwhile, upon learning of the death of one of their agents investigating Santo's operation, "Captain Gallagher" (George Lazenby) sends "Lt. Detective I. J. Ash" (Jim Kelly) to find Felicia before Santo and his men manage to catch up to her. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this film certainly had some potential as it contained a fairly decent plot and several good actors to carry it to fruition. What it didn't have, however, was capable direction as most of the action scenes looked poorly stages and extremely cheap. Not only that, but the scenes involving Jim Kelly's martial arts abilities could have used serious improvement as well. That being said, considering the actors involved, I was rather disappointed with this movie and I have rated it accordingly. Below average.
