(aka Pacific Connection)
DIRECTOR: Luis Nepomuceno
STARS: Roland Dantes (Forgotten Warrior), Dean Stockwell (One Away, Dunwich Horror) Nancy Kwan (Project: Kill), Guy Madison (Beast of Hollow Mountain), Alejandro Rey (High Velocity), Gilbert Roland (The Sea Hawk), Vic Diaz (Taste of Hell)
SYNOPSIS: This mid 70’s action film plays more like a 60’s style adventure than the Kung Fu classics that were being put out around this time. A poor family of farmers living in the Philippines (circa early 1500s) get harassed by the soldiers of an evil lord (Rey). The father (Roland) chases them away but they return with Rey, kill the father and rape the mother. She does manage to injure (or chop off) Rey’s dick before being killed herself. The muscular son (Dantes) in thrown into slavery but escapes to end up on a tropical island. The villagers nurse him back to health and he meets a blind martial arts master (Madison) who specializes in the art of “Arnis” (aka stick fighting). After many months of training he again faces Rey and his soldiers, including a very prim Stockwell, for a fight to the death. In one of the best action scenes Rey brings in a samurai swordsman from Japan as a kind of ringer to try and kill Dantes. The training sequence with American actor Madison, looking a lot like Richard Harrison, making Dantes go through an endless series of exercises are a lot of fun. Alejandro Rey plays his character pretty broad and I couldn’t help thinking of Ron Leibman’s performance in Zorro the Gay Blade.
