It opens with Bolo and Jason exchanging techniques at a martial arts school. The opening credits take us to the Netherlands. Enjoy the scenery because that's about the only entertainment value of this stinker. These "European Vacation" movies were popular in this genre during the 1970s. I can't think of a single one that was not a stinker. The typical reason was forgetting to pack a script. This one must have had a script because all they do is talk for the first 40 minutes. The gratuitous nudity can be found at about 26 minutes. The first fight is a typical brawl like thousands of others. The second is another but indoors. The third returns outdoors. If you have seen one you have seen them all.

The scene then goes to Paris. After a few views of the city our guys end up on the quai de la Tournelle area across the river from Notre Dame. This was where Duncan McCleod parked his barge in the "Highlander" television series. Instead of a barge there was a pile of bricks dropped there when this was filmed. Bolo fights first but as we all know, Bolo always loses.

Why does it seem the worse the movie the better the available copy? My copy is a digital file that plays as wide screen and is English dubbed. The quality is as good as DVD but not Bluray.
