Everybody in the Film had a great tan, and I mean the type of tan you get after being burnt to a crisp.The bad news is that the two leading men were not great as Peter Hooten (Bert Ernst) was miscast as the tough leader of men and Benito Stefanelli (Tittleman) the bad guy was just lazy. Benito is one of those guys who could dress in a white Miami Heat freshly pressed suit and still look grubby. He also looked like he wanted to take a nap throughout the film. Tittleman's girlfriend played by Christine Leigh was also nondescript but at least added a little eye candy with the same deer in the headlights expression through out. Hooten, who's tough guy portrayal included starring into the camera so he could show off his Martin Landauesque baby blues at the end of every take was also a little wimpy in the action scenes. It's fortunate that by now veteran Romano Kristoff (Cisco) was aboard to complete most of the action work. Romano even had to man the flamethrower and looked like a pro. The film just didn't work even with a couple of high spots. The the music score was distracting and aggravating at times, but stunt work was an upgrade from most "Z" movies with a great getting shot and falling off of a pier scene. I honestly can't recommend Just a Damned Soldier. Damn it.
