Harry Black (Vic Morrow) is a pilot that transports Jason Carlyle to a racing event in Instanbul. Soon Jason is shot and Harry ends in prison because they thought he killed Jason. However Harry is freed from prison by Lieutenant George Duval (Cesar Romero) for recovering the stolen plates that were possessed by Carlyle, and most of the movie consists of Harry that is chased, shot at and beaten to a pulp while trying to look cool.
I seeked this film because of the colorful cast (Morrow, Romero, Stanley Holloway, Michael Ansara, Victor Buono and Suzanne Pleshette) and also because it's directed by Roger Corman (a director that has some sort of cult following). In the first part it looked good but after it looked like it took a detour to laziness, and there was a scene that kinda scared me; a goon enters Ruth Carlyle (Charlotte Rampling)'s apartment and he squeezes her head to the point we hear her skull cracking! If you can overlook this, it's just a time passer.
