  • Laser Mission (1989) VHS Movie Review

    Listen to Matt, Steve and special guest Scott Roger, from Horror Movie Night Podcast, talk about this James Bond rip-off. Get ready for bad accents, Pangaea continents, one random ninja, zero lasers and a pop song that never stops!

    Laser Mission (1989)

    Quick Details:

    Laser Mission was originally titled “Solider of Fortune”. This film has a runtime of 84 minutes, is rated R and came out in the US during August of 1990.

    Taglines:

    • A secret agent. A beautiful accomplice. A daring mission to prevent World War III. One thrilling adventure!
    • A race for world power. Who will succeed: CIA or KGB?
    • World War III...can he stop it in time?
    • The future of the world rests with just one man...
    • His assignment: Find the world's most dangerous laser weapon or take the heat. Her assignment: Turn up the heat.
    • A deadly new weapon leads to explosive action in the African desert!
    • A three way power struggle with one control switch.

      • Director: BJ Davis (as Beau Davis, it’s French) He’s a stuntman and stunt director and you can tell after watching this movie.

      Writers:

      • David A. Frank (only credit, fake name?)
