After exploding miles of Philippine jungle, director Bruno Mattei and screenwriters Claudio Fragasso & Rossella Drudi borrow the plot of OFF LIMITS for COP GAME, an action-thriller that blasts more than just bamboo huts:
In the final days of the Vietnam War, a squad of rogue U.S. soldiers begins slaughtering American officers. But when a tough Army investigator (Brent Huff of STRIKE COMMANDO 2) and his partner (Max Laurel of ROBOWAR) are assigned to the case, they’ll tear apart Manila-as-Saigon in a frenzy of machine guns, car chases, stock footage, an ear-worm theme song and some of the most brain-scorching miniatures in ‘80s Italian cinema. Candice Daly (ZOMBIE 4), Werner Pochath (BORN TO FIGHT) and Brett Halsey (THE DEVIL’S HONEY) co-star in this “instant classic” (Comeuppance Reviews), now restored in 2K from the original negative.
