Storyline
Featured review
The plot concerns the search for an ancient jewel in Istanbul. The heroine is played by one Frances Chandler, an obscure (to me) blonde actress. Sometimes, she gets involved in the fights by kicking (not as cool as it sounds). Once, she also gets in a girl-girl fight with a jealous rival. There is a nude shower scene with her. Also, at one point, her breast is sliced with a knife just below her nipple in a nasty scene. The other gore scene appears when an elderly Chinese antique dealer is killed by an antique spiked masque. Gordon Mitchell plays the main villain, but he doesn't have much to do other than order his henchmen to do his bidding. The only time he really gets into action is when he beats up his own men for failing to carry out one of his orders. I think Yılmaz Köksal, who plays Ahmet the side-kick of the main hero, steals the show by some impressive stunts.
