Spaghetti action adventure that is not a Western
27 June 2023
(1982) Target Eagle/ Jugando con la muerte DUBBED ACTION/ ADVENTURE

Co-executive produced, written and directed by José Antonio de la Loma , centers on an unknown undercover spy who gets killed while sky diving invoking an investigation about the persons responsible and how. Along comes David (Jorge Rivero) another agent whose just come to Spain to learn that he's already been dead and buried, and agrees to go undercover to expose planes dropping cartons of drugs and plutonium to specific locations out of the country for the purpose of money, linked by ex-special ops soldier McFadden played by George Peppard who doesn't even appear until after a few minutes of the first hour and then 15 minutes later. This is the European equivalent of a well financed James Bond movie except that everything is pretty much second rate where it has lots of basic skiing, sky diving, and some unconvincing chase scenes and a heck of a lot of second rate acting with some unconvincing fisticuffs where the characters just swing through the air and the other person just pretends to get hit- almost like a "Spaghetti Adventure" but done so much better elsewhere. Movie also stars veteran Max Van Sydow as the person in charge of the whole operation, Maud Adams as another agent aiding the Max Van Sydow character and Chuck Connors who gets killed within the first hour!
