Currently on Prime.
If you want a bizarre, extreme 70s, American James Bond meets Cliffhanger Eastwood in prime film you probably have never seen, this is it.
Its such a weird film and the plot is all over the place and a total Bond ripoff but features maybe the best climbing scenes by a big star you'll ever see and George Kennedy is always a charisma machine on screen, and of course.. Vonetta McGee... The best Bond Girl of the 70s by far.
And a John Williams score to boot...

It’s great. I think the lady’s character name is Jemima Brown.

I hated this movie as a kid. It was so damn weird & I couldn't keep up.
I enjoy it now. If anything watching CE perform his own climbing is pretty impressive.

One of the few Clint movies I didn't care for from the 70s.

The brief but amusingly camp performance by Jack Cassidy inspires Kennedy's classic line:
"He could change a nine dollar bill in threes"

The entire Jack Cassidy storyline is so bizarre. They didnt need it. The Arizona training scenes would have been just fine without him and just George Kennedy and the climbing, but it made for some great scenes.
And his dogs name.... Faggott.
Straight up Bond camp.
