(1991) Pursuit
ACTION
A rather routine action movie starring karate martial artist James Ryan without the martial arts. As a matter of fact the closest thing James Ryan showed any martial arts was at the opening upon him practicing by himself. Also, upon watching this, it is like watching two different movies where it's about James Ryan conducting one assignment only to be forced to do something else.
Edited, cinematography and directed by John H. Parr with a possible coup against two South Africa leaders killed for it's gold bullion led by General Carlos De Costa (Graham Weir). We then see a guy named Samuel's (Douglas Bristow) bringing along with him is Kindwe Kato (Leslie Mongezi) wanting to employ the services of Jake Cody (James Ryan) for the purpose of retrieving gold bullion from General Carlos who wants to sell the gold to fund his cause. One of those conditions Cody wants is to put his own group that includes Bob Mathews (Andre Jacobs) his assistant protege Abu (David Mphuti) and a guy name Erza (Robin Smith). And by the time they got to the camp, they manage to garner Lucky Luke (David Butler) and his partner, Joe Doyle (Iain Winter-Smith) to participate into this raid. The next thing we know as soon as the group found out it was over a trunk container full of gold bullion, they decide to come to a vote to keep the gold for themselves which contradicts Cody's intentions of returning it. And after he is shot on the arm and knocked out, he is then nursed back to health by tribesman, David (Lucas Baloyi). And together they go in pursuit of retrieving that gold, as well as to save the life of photojournalist. Samantha (Kate Normington). The next thing we know, each one of the hired merc/ soldiers of fortune are being picked off one by one by the Saduka Tribe, resulting to a rather unmemorable final- the last last scene, the three stars don't even take the gold with them. It's truly lame I'm telling you.
