Project G-7 is another cut & paste mashup from Godfrey Ho. In it we have two stories of police trying to bring down an international crime syndicate, with each story features a pair of cops who are part of an overarching police operation called Project G-7. The stories are linked together in classic Ho style via phone conversations and beyond that they have little to do with each other. The Ho shot footage, of which there is very little, focuses on two American cops who are trying to combat the Los Angelas arm of the syndicate. While the non Ho footage, something that looks a lot like a 1980's Filipino action flick, focuses on two cops who are trying to take down the head of the crime syndicate.
In classic Ho style, the movie can be difficult to follow as alliances shift, hidden identities are revealed, and people are double crossed. The stunt work in both films enthusiastically attempts to be stylish but is obviously hampered by skill and budget. The mooks in the Filipino movie die in a very animated fashion as they fall, scream, and yell as dramatically as possible. The English dubbing in both movies is performed by the amateur voice actors from IFD as they stumble through classic b-movie, tough guy lines. While rarely boring, the Ho shot footage isn't nearly as fun as footage from the Filipino movie; with the one exception being the finales. The Filipino finale is very fun and works well with the rest of the Filipino footage. While Ho shot finale features the type of bizarre, out-of-place ideas that he's famous for. Overall I would recommend this to Ho fans or fans of 1980's Filipino action movies. While it's not Ho's best output, it is very fun.
