We all know not every action film will be a success,and sadly,it may not include any scenes of pretty girls bound and gagged,although one might feel it should have had.
One such film is Shadow Warriors-Assault on Devil's Island.Terry 'Hulk' Hogan is the star here,and I read he got properly slated for his acting skills.However to me,if it's an action film,you shouldn't really look too closely at the acting.It's the action scenes I'm interested in.
Actually,the fight scenes are pretty good,and I did enjoy this film.The plot centres around the 'Hulk' commanding a group of US Navy Seals,going in to recover a dangerous drug dealer.With them,is an Australian chap,who is actually on the drug dealer's side,and promptly betrays the Hulk and his team.
Of course,the good guys do win the first round here,and manage to snatch the drug dealer with them:but they lose a couple of their team,thanks to the Australian bloke's treachery.
Later on,the same bloke kidnaps a group of American gymnasts,and demands the drug dealer's immediate release.The gymnast team are all mixed,and I found that very disappointing.It would have been much better,if they'd all been girls.
Anyway,they're all locked up in a cage on the bad guys fortress island(obviously Devil's Island!)and there's a bomb planted right next to them,which would release a vast torrent of water,and drown the lot of them.
Well,we can't have that,can we? Hulk has already made his plans,to go in after the bloke who betrayed him,and with his team,manage to sneak into the bad guys hideout.
Meanwhile,the main bad guy has his eye on one of the female gymnasts called Carol(played by Vivienne Sendaydiego),and due to one of Hulk's men's demands to show him the hostages bringing in the drug lord,shows this girl to him.Although his second in command,is holding her up high above his head,threatening to throw her off a cliff!
Anyway,all's well that ends well.Hulk and his team successfully take out the bad guys,and at the climax of the film,the main bad guy grabs his favourite pretty hostage,and attempts to escape with her.I have to admit,Vivienne did a great job here,performing a very scared damsel in distress,but of course,Hulk goes after them,and saves her.You can probably guess what happens to the bad guy!
Just a real shame none of those gorgeous girls,got bound and gagged in the film!
Goodbye to all that
