It was advertised as the one movie James Bond would go to see, featuring many actors with links to the Bond series, including George Lazenby and Harold Sakata. It was one of two movies that Adamson directed starring Jim Kelly, the other being Black Samurai.
Reception
Creature Feature gave the movie one out of five stars, finding the story to be especially weak.[2] Moria gave the movie two stars, noting that the science fiction elements are minimal, the title has little to do with the movie and the movie is more of an action film. It did find that this was one of the best of director's Al Adamson films.[3] Film Critics United found much of the acting lacking and many of the action sequences lackluster, only recommended it for fans of Jim Kelly.[4] Letterbox DVD gave the move 2.8 out of 5 stars.[5]
Home Release
Released on DVD in 2003 [6] Also released as part of a box set of Al Adamson's movies [7]
