Operation Las Vegas

Apparently Director Norbert Moutier thought it was a great idea to take a bunch of Euro Actors along with him and way over the hill leading man Richard Harrison (Jefferson) out to the ugliest part of the Nevada Desert and make a movie on a shoe sting budget for a Euro audience. There is so much wrong with this movie that a real movie reviewer could write for days and not cover everything, but lets just say the acting, the dubbing, the directing, the extras wearing down jackets in the desert while all the principles are complaining about the heat, the plot, etc. This is like a Z movie in the desert with no sense of humor and an especially terrible job of acting by John Van Dreelen as (Parker.). Leading lady and commander of the bad guys Brigitte Borghese (Britta), who will never be confused with Elke Summer, at least brings some energy along with a much needed push up bra to her role. There is some cool footage of 1989 Vegas, however, both supposedly high rollers Jefferson and Britta are staying at Whiskey Pete's Hotel which is 30 miles outside of Vegas where you can still get a room for $19.99 if you sign up for the players card. I guess I have a soft spot for old Euro Spy actors combined with the fact that there is a cool scene with Bonny and Clyde's actual death car on display at Whiskey Pete's. This one gets a qualified recommendation to waist an hour and thirty and watch Ol' Richard and Aging Brigitte trying hard to make Operation Las Vegas work.
