Run-of-the-mill, full of action , tongue-in-cheek Euro-spy movie with usual components: pursuits, crossfire , struggles, international conspiracy , explosive women and other tippings that used to show up in the genre. Dealing with a two-fisted SuperSeven (Roger Browne) who's assigned by his chief Stan Harriman (Daniele Vargas) to a dangerous mission who he'll execute at whatever cost, even killing mercilessly his enemies. After retrieving an electronic device that can shut off the power of entire cities, secret agent SuperSeven is assigned to eliminate the only 3 remaining persons who have knowledge of the device. SuperSeven must allude the state authorities and the international underworld ring while attempting to locate the enemies.
Ordinary Euro-spy movie with usual ingredients: thrills , noisy action, plot twists, double-crosses, several villain roles, cat-fight, various international locations , shootouts with high body-count and being middlingly entertaining from start to finish. The story is a fun mess starting with some spectacular locations from Madrid, with its the always habitual bullfight, London, Genoa, Paris and specially Athens (including Acropolis) where the action is mostly set. Happening mutual spying and silly confrontations with a lot of georgeous women, violent fights, leaps and crossfire. Colorful and so-so rendition about European spy subgenre, a prolific genre during the sixties, not taking any situation seriously . A fashion , but pedestrian spy film at the time, meaning it stuck to a lot of what was currently popular, but here including some embarrassing and nonsense scenes. Inspired by the success of the James Bond films, as this spy sub-genre borrows heavily from the OO7 series that at the time starred Sean Connery, such as : Dr No, From Russia with love, Thunderball, and Goldfinger. The content remains the same as the title: a two-fisted secret agent, an unknown villain as mastermind, beautiful mini-skirt girls , along with ridiculous , uptight and extremely silly action set pieces from today's point of view. A Sixties-style film usually has a short sell-by date, and this flick isn't exception. The leading role was ordinarily played by Sword and Sandals regular Roger Browne who was a popular as well as untalented player at the time, a mediocre actor who couldn't carry a rickety product like this. He starred some spy movies , such as: Rififi in Amsterdam, Operazione poker, Operation Mogador and 'Superseven chiama Cairo' that was the previous entry of Superseven also directed by Lenzi . The script doesn't help either, as it consists of the habitual intrigue to take on three thieves of an electric artifact and a powerful organitation, while our starring go around european countries and actually tells no more than different people spying on and beating up each other in the hope of getting their nasty purports. Of course , with such a film from nostalgic and botcher ways, one does not count on high art work . It is staged in a hopelessly amateurish way, it shows us rows of bare fights and several confrontations with a number of dead people in the worst choreography. As our starring behaving in such an tough activity and so stupid manners so that committing usual mistakes on their own way. The screenplay works with unnecessary contradictions and implausibility , including hilarious or absurd moments , and the story is thinner than it usually is in works of this kind , the Euro-spy sub-genre. There are colorful outdoors by cameraman Augusto Tiezzi showing sightseeing from the typical European cities with sights from sunny coasts and Mediterranean beaches . It has some flaws and gaps , as it does tend to get a bit old, including repetitive nature of some fight scenes , and excessive nonsense , but it has a bit of fun, at times, so it cares . The main and support cast -with everyone having amusement- are regular, slightly adequate to their functional characters . Appearing some familiar faces from the Sixties who worked in the habitual 60s , 70s sub-genres : Peplum, Spaghetti Western , Giallo, horror, Euro-thriller as Spanish actors, such as : Fernando Cebrián and Pilar Clemens and Italian ones : Daniele Vargas, Marino Masé, Sal Borgese, Tallio Altamura and the always essential Sal Borgese.
The picture was mediocrely directed by the prolific filmmaker Umbert Lenzi. Talented and versatile writer/director Umberto Lenzi has made a vast array of often solid and entertaining films in all kind of genres as horror, comedy, Western, and science fiction in a career that spans over 40 years .Umbert Lenzi used the pseudonym Hank Milestone and Humphrey Logan . Umberto made his directorial debut with ¨Queen of the Seas¨ (1961) . Other pirate/sword flicks followed, starting with ¨Pirates of Malaysia¨ (1964) starred by Steeve Reeves, which was part of the height of the career of fictitious tales of history or mythology, these legendary characters including Robin Hood , Catherine the Great, Zorro , Sandokan and Maciste . He subsequently directed a ¨Fumetti¨ titled ¨The mask of Kriminal¨ (1966) . After directing a war film and two "spaghetti westerns," Lenzi turned to the Giallo genre with ¨Orgasmo¨ (1969). During the 1970s, Lenz filmed a number of Giallo and thrillers , among them : ¨So Sweet, So Perverse¨, ¨Seven Blood-Stained Orchids¨ and ¨Eyeball¨ . Lenzi turned to the police thrillers called ¨Polizieschi¨, which rejuvenated his confidence and his popularity . Titles like ¨Almost Human¨ , ¨Free Hand For a Tough Cop¨ and ¨Brothers Till We Die¨ were the most popular and brutal of the thrillers. Lenzi was an expert on wartime genre such as he proved in ¨Desert commandos¨ , ¨Battle of commandos¨ , ¨From hell to victory¨ , ¨Young Lions¨ and ¨Bridge to hell¨. Prior to the Polizieschi, Lenzi directed ¨Man from Deep River¨ , which was the start of the Italian cannibal sub-genre. Later on , he directed two very gory jungle cannibal features , ¨Eaten Alive¨ and ¨Make Them Die Slowly ¨which was banned in 31 countries, it made Lenzi distance himself from the cannibal genre. Then Lenzi directed ¨Nightmare City¨ (1980) , a zombie flick , and ¨Iron Master¨(1983) . In the 90s his films were extremely low-budgeted and failed at box-office .
