One's a drive-in film, a low budget female "James Bond" spoof, the other this Greek crime drama dubbed into English and in spite of an equally low budget is interesting for its gorgeous location footage and some very violent scenes. One moment shows, from a distance, someone being tossed off a very high structure. It deals with the kidnapping of a Greek crime lord's daughter, and while the temptation to compare is there, this certainly is no Greek "Godfather". Poor dubbing with a rather hollow sound is a flaw as voices don't seem to gell with the faces, but it's rather interesting for physical elements even though it wasn't going to get decent notices no matter how they filmed it.

Suffers a Bit Due to the Dubbing from Greek to English
Uriah4323 January 2021
Having information of an incoming drug shipment, the police install one of their own in a prison cell with a former mob boss who is soon to be released and has certain information pertaining to it. Realizing that he is a security risk, an assassin is sent and kills the mob boss but, in the attempt, the assassin is also killed--and this provides an opportunity for the undercover police detective named "Orestis" (Lakis Komninos) to assume the killer's identity and infiltrate the gang. Not long after that, he learns of a plan to kidnap the daughter of a wealthy shipping tycoon named "Petros Romanos" (Dinos Iliopoulis) which will not only provide plenty of money to them all but also help them acquire the illegal drugs coming in as well. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this was an okay crime-drama which suffered somewhat due to the dubbing from Greek to English. It also suffered from poor picture quality as well but, all things considered, the movie itself wasn't too bad and for that reason I have rated it accordingly. Average.
