    • Trivia
      The head of the company originally set to distribute the film was found murdered shortly before it was to go into international release. It received spotty distribution because the rights were tied up in legal wrangling over the victim's estate for several years.

    • Quotes

      John Trevor: [addressing a room full of recruits] Now what you've just seen is a re-enactment of a successful interdiction operation that took place six years ago. Interdiction and protective reaction; those will be your areas of duty. This unit which you're all so hot to become members of, came about because of the events that occurred in the early sixties. It is the only effective means of combating political assassination by the interception and the destruction of the assassin himself.

      John Trevor: [he continues] Now, you men have been carefully selected for this program. Because of a high level performance in the battlefield, and your high level performance in physical endurance. But as your training progresses, you will gradually reach a point of acceptance where you will begin to surpass everything that you have ever done before. You will reach goals that you never dreamed possible. And to accomplish this, you will be given vitamins to increase your stamina, chemical injections to expand your mental capabilities, injections to assist you in both physical and mental control. You will be programed to respond instantaneously to any given stimulus. You will become a reflex but highly directed unit of force. You will be taught how to use everyday objects as weapons. Everything - from a toenail clipping to a briefcase. Control, control will be emphasised throughout your training. Control, control is the key. When you're finished here, you'll be assigned to safeguard specific individuals and institutions and because of your training here you will be set apart from other security agencies and military establishments. In other words, you will operate independently. I am your commanding officer, you will refer to me only as "Mister Trevor".

    Modern MST3K anyone?
    It's a pretty heinous film that features a man in a wicker wheelchair, Leslie Neilson's scarred chest, plenty of very ugly Filipinos, horribly set up karate sequences, and people who look like they are waiting for others to finish their lines so they can begin.

    I think the plot is like this. Two guys, one being Leslie Neilson, are at odds since one wants out of this Project Control. Basically people are shooting up to become superstrong? Well Leslie Neilson gets mixed up with some Filipino gangs who don't like either one of the Americans. There is a side romance too. Makes little sense really.

    I'm sure Leslie would love for you to forget that he was in this one, but sadly like the movie says: "The only way out is DEATH."

    Watchability: 2 out of 10 MST3K quality: 7 out of 10
