The influence of Bond is writ large in this very cheap and Mystery Science Theater-worthy thriller (cf Agent for H.A.R.M.). Lex Barker saunters through most of the actionSteve Martin, hand in pocket, careful not to take things too seriously and mostly incredulous at the unmotivated action that unravels around him.<br/><br/>From the moment he disembarks at Cape Town harbour he is beset with snooping policemen, eager women and danger. As a Capetonian, it is really funny watching Helga (Ann Smyrner) drive Steve along the Atlantic seaboard while driving over picturesque Chapman's Peak (twice) which is on the opposite side of the mountains. Of course, the reason for this is to throw in an action-packed car-chase.<br/><br/>Seductive and dangerous woman (check), villain with a foreign accent (check), innovative but failed assassination attempts (check, including underwater scuba manoeuvre), dramatic exterior set-pieces (check, including unnecessary trip to the Cango Caves and game park), dangerous animals (check), racist exploitation of local scenes and people (check).<br/><br/>The opening scene (which uncannily foreshadows Live and Let Die)is great and gives viewers a chance to see District Six on screen. This was just before the apartheid government began its program of forced removals. The Table Mountain climax - the film's alternate title is Table Bay - is both laughable and spectacular, and so badly edited you wonder if everyone was enjoying Cape Town's beach action a little too much. Still, it's a curiosity for those keen to see Cape Town in a previous era, or to see the influence of the espionage genre in the wake of James Bond.
Just plain ordinaryI've said. A shame, because even though some of the great 'superstars' are that, i.e., the Eastwoods and Schwarzeneggers of this world, who have presence but not necessarily acting on a great points scale, neither had Lex Barker anything but the same - the gruff actor could've excelled at some point but was resigned to the world of B-movies. This story just has that recipe, girls, glamour, interesting scenery (South Africa)and just an obligatory plot of detective work. Barker is on the hunt for people being picked off (mostly around him) with mention of neo-Nazis to boot. As someone else has mentioned, there are some set-pieces of interest (but only to give it lacklustre merit) like the ostrich stampede. Obviously a foreign production designed with Barker in mind to sell it to the states even if a support featurette, it also beggars belief that Ronald Fraser was cajoled into it. Purposefully noticeable was the absence of any of Apartheid-era South Africa, butsomeone else has mentioned, 'District Six' is stated by Fraser's character, which was a former area 'cleared' and forgotten about by the South African government a few years later in its 'Group Areas Act' of ethnic cleansing, well, that's not what they called it, but it was of sorts! This was obviously a nice, cheap holiday to South Africa and much cheaper once they were there already. Of note though, is Gert Van Den Bergh, who, being South African/South African set, hadn't appeared in a lot, other than any film set in that beautiful country - he was mostly remembered for his one and only large-scale, epic film 'Zulu'Ardendorff, the Boer.
