Captive Rage [1988]

Another el cheapo action movie shot in South Africa but pretending to be set somewhere else, in this case the famous mythical South American country of Parador where megalomaiacal French accented cocaine generalissimo Oliver Reed has just kidnapped a planeload of American coeds in an attempt to force CIA man Robert Vaughn, whose daughter is one of the hostages, to spring his imprisoned son. The bimbos fight back, and run around in khaki shorts firing off machine guns at inept goon extras, and it ends up with some unspectacular explosions. Reed's scenery chewing aside, a feeble entry in the gals with guns cycle popular in the early '70s but justifiably neglected in recent years.
