Tired war movie

My review was written in December 1989 after watching the movie on Trylon video cassette.

"War Bus Commando" is a standard-issue Italian action pic that arrives in U. S. home video stores too late to cash in on interest in the Afghanistan conflict.

Mark Gregory, stalwart young hero in Italian pics since debuting in the Vic Morrow-starrer "1990: The Bronx Warriors", plays soldier Johnny Hondo, sent to Afghanistan on a suicide mission by John Vernon. Purpose of the exercise is to find a "war bus" outfitted by Hondo's dad with important military documents dating back to the Shah's reign, when daddy was in charge of U. S. military bases in Iran. Hondo is also to rescue several prisoners.

Pic boasts several effective battle scenes and scenic (but unidentified) locations. Drawback is its uninteresting story line, not helped by weak dubbing of the entire cast, including Canadian thesp Vernon. Italian leading lady Savina Grsak is wasted in a nothing role.
