Jess Franco: From Bangkok with Bullets

It's action in Bangkok as only Jess Franco could serve it up (well, for one, by having his cinematographer go to Thailand for the establishing shots), starting with "Trip to Bangkok, Coffin Included" (1985), where MI6 officer Daniel Blimp (Howard Vernon) has to combat a cult leader (Trino Trives) who trains the blind as assassins. José Llamas, Helena Garret, Ana Espejo co-star. Then, in "Bangkok, Date with Death" (1985), adventurer Panama Joe (Bork Gordon) is hired to rescue a beautiful heiress (Garret) from the clutches of a kidnapper (Antonio Mayans). Lina Romay, Eduardo Fajardo co-star. 179 min. Total. In Spanish with English subtitles. C/Rtg: NR
