The Terrorists

When a Congressman's soldier son is gunned down in Germany, Military Investigator James Luke (Marland Proctor) is sent to solve the crime. Getting grief from his CO, Luke teams up with German cop Paul Steger (Hans Grabinger), who is not known for his subtlety with crooks (he kills them). The duo eventually uncover a radical terrorist organization led by a guy named The Professor who are planning to assassinate Jimmy Carter when he arrives in Munich.

This Nick Millard directed actioner runs just 60 minutes and refined viewers will recognized his inimitable style carried over from his horror features like CRIMINALLY INSANE and SATAN'S BLACK WEDDING. To my knowledge, he has made three action films (this, .357 MAGNUM, GUNBLAST). All three star Proctor and are quite possibly the worst movies ever made. Of course, they are all highly entertaining. From his off center framing to chainsaw editing (the shoot outs are simply a work of art!), Millard makes Ed Wood look competent. The best part of this flick is when the heroes realize The Professor is named so because he is a college professor. Way to keep on the DL Prof!

This was made in 1980 and actually shot on location in Munich, Germany. Which makes me wonder how the hell Millard managed that? As with GUNBLAST, Millard inserts a 10 min. striptease to pad the running time. Anyway, it wasn't released on video until 1988 by World Vision.
