Opération panthère noire

'Enemy Gold' is the first sequel Andy Sidaris's son Drew took over duties, but it follows formula. Low level action, simple plot and the requisite female nudity. Established faces Bruce Penhall, Mark Barriere, Rodrigo Obregon & Julie Strain return as existing or new characters. Suzi Simpson - former Playmate - makes her debut & only appearance.

Agents Cannon (Penhall), Austin (Barriere) & Becky Midnite (Simpson) bust a drug op angering Bolivian drug dealer Santiago (Obregon). Suspended by an annoying superior, their boss Ava Noble (Tai Collins) tries to sort things out. In their downtime, they search for some fabled lost Civil War gold while Santiago brings in a hired killer Jewel Panther (Strain) to take them out and a betrayal is revealed.

I understand the series charm, but I don't consider myself a fan. 'The Dallas Connection' was one of the first T&A movies I saw and although it gave me an appreciation for Strain and Julie K. Smith, I didn't think much of the action or story. Every other entry has felt the same. The best thing here is Obregon. Chewing up the scenery, spouting bad guy b-movie dialog.

Suzi hops in the shower twice - the first within 10 mins - and supplies one sex scene - 33 mins in. Tai reveals the goods in a sauna / shower combo - 21 mins in - and has sex near the end. Two strippers & the bad guy have a brief shower threeway. Julie struts her stuff in a bikini & goes topless by a campfire wielding a sword in the latter half.

'Enemy Gold' isn't the series high point, but still feels like a Sidaris flick. The action is nothing to write home about per usual. Lacking from this entry is some cheesy allure and an abundance of boobs. Could have used more humor too, but it's not like they were shooting for the moon here.
