The fading prints of these low budget action films from Z grade studios of the 60's and 70's, into the 80's, are neglected to cheap DVD copies and rotting masters, complete with fading colors and tinny sound. This one is your typical exploitation film, featuring a few familiar faces, but overall unpleasant. While it is set somewhere in the Mexican countryside, it deals with trashy visitors from the U. S., including Alex Rocco who offers a Mexican bar owner money for the use of his daughter. He's a part of some hideous team of macho marines who encounters the pretty Jennifer Billingsley and her traveling companion, Joseph Kaufmann, who picked her up hitchhiking.
Of the marines, only Paul Carr seems to have any morals and decency, with the commanding officer (Charles Macaulay) considering the Mexican countryside a training ground for their next assignment in North Africa. "I should have been a hooker, but I was born too late." That's the type of classy dialogues you get in this ridiculously trashy and violence film, one of dozens made around this time. I can't imagine this playing in anything but the smarmiest of drive-in theaters, certainly one without a playground outsidee of someone's car. The opening scene appears to be targeting biker films because it has Rocco coming out of a porta potty and shooting the biker who had just tried to tip it over with him inside. It's more of the same, except less pleasant.
