Mid-east war was never sexier

[weinerm · 2 May 2000]

There is a plot; 3 sexy Israeli spys infiltrate the Arab camp on an espionage mission. They they get captured and are on the receiving end of torture (not very explicit, thankfully). Then they take some acid and dance around naked. Lots of dead space in this film, but pretty Monica Gayle is one of the 3 spys: need I say more. There's one scene where Monica and several other girls get dressed in their barracks, and the sight of her putting on her bra and panties is worth the price of admission. There's also some phone yiddish accents that border on the sublime.

a.k.a. "Hot Sands ( A Desert Odyssey )"

RAW LUST IN THE SIX DAY ARAB-ISRALEI CONFLICT...FILMED IN SAND DUNES & EXOTIC TENTS,SHOWS FOR THE 1ST TIME ALL THE HUMAN FEELING & DESIRE THAT CAN HAPPEN DURING WAR. Scene I: OPERATION FEZ opens in a female troop compound @ an Israeli base outside Hafia. 3 of the toughest SABRAS in the corps- SCHWARTZ(Monica Gayle),KAPLEN, & KOBALSKI accept a mission to enter the Arab stronghold of "KUWUNT" to bring back what info. they can. Dressed in Arab robes they run into nomadic raiders who view them as women for pleasure! Scene II: WOLF IN SHEIK'S CLOTHING a madcap race brings them all to the tent of SHEIK AKABA inside which the girls find themselves subjected to wild & strange habits of the Arabs who sell them on the slave block. While the Sheik is busy w/ a girl slated for the slave market, the nomads inspect what they have "caught" in a most exacting way. The girls escape from the home of their "buyer" but caught & taken back to the Sheik. Scene III: Back at the tent they are subjected to more of the same treatment. They know they must get back to Hafia w/ the info. but the question is...HOW? They plan to create a diversion by having KAPLEN make love to the sheik's daughter in order for the other 2 to sneak back to their base. Scene IV: Once back @ the base the 2 SABRAS give the general the vital info. they were sent to find. He sends a detachment out 2 save KAPLEN. After a short fight she is released. The film ends w/ all 3 girls getting medals for their heroic actions. A fitting end to a strong & exciting film!
