  • Story:
    Lewis Collins is back to leading mercenaries on the move in Southeast Asia. This time the cast is unusually good including Lee Van Cleef, Brett Halsey (Cop Game), Romano Puppo (Robowar), Mike Monty (Raiders of Atlantis), Bobby Rhodes (The Great Alligator), etc. Anyway, Van Cleef has Collins go on some random mission to locate a disc with all sorts of valuable crazy intelligence data on it. It just happens that Donald Pleasence, a random government official, hires another mercenary-for-hire Manfred Lehman to tag along and make sure the data ends up in the right hands. Van Cleef isn't taking any chances, and since he is crooked and murders Collins's other bosses quickly, he places Romano Puppo in the group as well to make sure the operation runs smoothly. Collins may not be too expressive but at least he seems to figure out quickly who's out to get him, so the mission continues with lots of double-crosses, twists and turns, and of course lots of explosions!

TRIVIA

Trivia

In the German translation everyone talks about retrieving a "floppy disk", while it's clearly a CD-ROM.

In the German version Thomas Danneberg dubbed Lewis Collins and therefore himself had to be dubbed by another actor, Rainer Brandt.

Some model shots of silos from Code Name: Wild Geese (1984) are reused with new sequences shot on the same location for this film - this location and the use of a flamethrower are a reference to the earlier film which had many of the same personnel.

This film came about because director Antonio Margheriti had a lot of alternative camera angles and deleted scenes from his two earlier mercenary based action films, Codename: Wild Geese (1984) and Commando Leopard (1985). Realizing he could make a new movie relatively inexpensively and quickly by incorporating that footage into a new story he cobbled together a script to utilize it. To link it all together he filmed some new additional scenes using Lewis Collins and Lee Van Cleef (as different characters this time), With the addition of a few new faces he was able to fashion a new story. In the space of about a month. Using careful editing Margheriti was able to make this film. At least a third of it was cannibalized from the unused footage from the two previous unrelated movies.

Released straight to video rental in the UK.
