Pacific Inferno action star
Jim Brown made a triumphant return to movies. Or did he? If you read the copyright date carefully, you'll discover that this US-Philippine coproduction was actually shot in 1977. The plot has us believe that
General Douglas MacArthur ordered that $16 million in silver be sent to the bottom of Manila Bay before the Philippines were overtaken by the Japanese in 1942. Navy divers Brown and
Ric Van Nutter are among several POWs ordered to retrieve the money.
Brown is all for escaping, but the duplicitous
Van Nutter plans to abscond with the booty. Thus,
Brown is alone in his efforts to round up local guerillas to help his fellow divers get away. Among the resistance fighters is buxom
Wilma Reading, whose role consists of falling out of her blouse at the slightest provocation. Less attractive is "special guest star"
Richard Jaeckel, who plays a soldier of fortune named Dealer.
