British
filmmaker Alan Birkinshaw helmed this motion picture shortly after his
successful horror project KILLER'S
MOON. The story opens as a group of Japanese soldiers - at the
end of WW2 - are transporting a huge gold shipment deep in the Filipino
jungle. They are attacked by cannibals and fight back against the savages.
When it becomes obvious that they cannot win, three remaining soldiers
abandon the gold and slip away, vowing to someday return.
Now,
thirty years later, an expedition is formed to head back into the jungle
to retrieve the lost treasure. Stuart Whitman plays Mark Forest, a mercenary
who accepts the mission strictly to get revenge against one of the organizers,
Rex Larson, a man who had double-crossed him years before. Lots of other
colorful characters make up the troupe, but the real star is the always
beautiful Laura Gemser as Glynis Barber.
